TRADE-UNION INSURANCE.
Amount and Value of Benefits.
Labor Commissioner Stafford Presents Figures.
THE school history of a generation ago gave the
student but a poor idea of the general con-
dition of the people of the past. It gave
glowing descriptions of the high lights of battle and
strife, but scarcely touched upon the long years of
patient, peaceful endeavor, suffering and toil incident
to the clearing of a continent and the building of a
nation. The education of the average citizen re-
garding the labor union of to-day is along similar
lines. He hears of the strike, the lockout and the
walking delegate; he sees an occasional parade, and
he vaguely wonders what it is all about, and whether
it is worth while.
It is my purpose to give you, briefly as possible, the
facts concerning another phase of the work of labor
organizations — a phase seldom alluded to, and but
little understood. I refer to the modern tendency
of organized labor to provide life insurance, and sick
and accident benefits for its members. Twenty years
ago, the pay-day at any large manufacturing estab-
lishment, or railroad terminus, inevitably produced
one or more subscription lists, started by the per-
sonal friends of those in immediate need. Some-
times the plea was in behalf of the widow or orphans
of a man who had been suddenly killed by ears or
machinery; sometimes for the entire family on ac-
count of lingering sickness of the breadwinner.
These appeals never failed to meet with a hearty
response, and were frequently supplemented by a
substantial contribution from the employer. The
steady increase in, the demands made this method un-
satisfactory from every standpoint. The appeal to
the workers became monotonously regular and insist-
ent, while the aid to the needy was necessarily, in the
individual case, but temporary and insufficient.
The more thoughtful members of the national or-
ganizations began to advocate the substitution of a
system of compulsory life insurance for the previous
temporary relief. This met with the approval of the
membership generally, and also naturally evolved sim-
ilar arrangements for sick, accident and funeral bene-
fits; and there has been up to the present a steady
:ind consistent growth along these lines, with results
that are astonishing in their magnitude. No doubt
••very member of a labor union is fully conversant
with the provisions of his own organization, but few
men, however, are familiar with the conditions in all
organizations. It is my purpose to give you definite
and positive figures regarding life insurance, and
other benefits provided for by the labor organizations
of the State of California.
1 have been able to obtain the positive figures show-
ing the number who carry insurance, etc., and the
amount carried, from an incomplete State un'on mem-
bership of 84,450 members. No attempt lias been
made at this time to estimate the total union mi m
bership of the State, nor the complete life insurance
figures. I merely give the results deduced from the
data already on hand.
The following divisions are made along the lines
adopted by the officials of the Federal Government in
their Census Reports, and may not exactly accord
with the divisions followed by the unions them-
selves.
We find in personal and domestic service 15,535
members, carrying $1,1.99,250.00 life insurance, and
9,042 of these members have a provision for relief in
ease of sickness and accident.
In the printing trades, 3,497 members, with $291,-
670.00 life insurance.
In the iron trades, with 10,035 members, 8,723 have
provided an insurance of $1,026,210.00, and 5,580 of
these members arc provided for during sickness or ac-
cident.
In the clothing and kindred trades, with 2,520
members, 760 have provided life insurance amount-
ing to $52,965.00, and 1,435 have provided against
sickness and accident.
In the building trades, 21,834 members carry a life
insurance of $2,814,630.00, and 16,559 of these have
made provisions for sickness and accident.
In manufactures not otherwise specified, with a
membership of 2,605, 1,856 carry insurance of $205,-
800.00, and 1,002 provide for sickness and accident.
The teamsters, longshoremen and warehousemen,
with a membership of 7,792, have 7,392 members
carrying $596,500 of insurance and 4,705 members
earrying sick and accident benefits.
In the stationary engineers and firemen, with 1,275
members, 965 provide $72,375.00 life insurance, and
310 of these members insure against sickness and
accident.
In sea transportation, with a membership of 9,211,
there is life insurance amounting to $690,825.00, and
insurance against shipwreck of $397,330.00. In sick-
ness these men are provided for by the United States
Government.
In the land transportation organizations, 8,958
members carry $8,999,950.00 of insurance; 3,216 of
these provide against sickness and accident, and
3,128 provide their own hospital.
In mercantile pursuits, out of 1,242 members,
1,157 provide $113,700.00 in insurance.
Of the woodworkers and kindred trades, with 1,196
members, 1,151 provide $61,100.00 of insurance, and
786 provide sick and accident benefit.
The totals show that 36,638 members of labor or-
ganizations in this State have provided against sick-
ness and accident in specific amounts, ranging from
$3.00 to $7.00 per week, averaging over $5.00 for
each member per week. Besides these, 6,403 have
pledged themselves to take care of their sick in no
specific amount, but in keeping with their needs; and
3,128 have voluntarily provided hospital accommoda-
tions for sick and injured members, making a total
who take care of their sick and injured of 46,169.
Twelve thousand seven hundred and eight
members have provided insurance in case of
death of wife. Many of the organizations
have provided the same payment in case of total dis-
ability as of death, and organizations representing
12,208 members have provided total disability bene-
fits in excess of the death benefits; 4,465 members
have a superannuation benefit; 2,111 have a home for
aged and infirm members; 1,041 have a similar home
proposed. The seamen have shipwreck benefits rang-
ing from $30.00 to $75.00 per member, and one or-
ganization has an insurance against loss of tools.
Of the 84,458 unionists considered, 69,133, or over
81 per cent, have made provision for death benefits
ranging from $40.00 to $4,500.00, and averaging about
$250.00 per member, showing a total of life insurance
policies issued by labor unions in the State of Cali-
fornia of upward of $17,000,000.00.
Taking into consideration the fact that this is an
incomplete statement of insurance carried in this
•State, and that it is nearly all provided for through
national organizations, undoubtedly a somewhat sim-
ilar average would obtain throughout the United
States as a whole, which will give a total Labor
Union Insurance amounting to the enormous sum of
$600,000,000.00 for the nation.
The criticism is often made that assessment insur-
ance of fraternal bodies lacks the stability and sound-
ness of what is ordinarily called ' ' Old Line Insur-
ance." Without any desire to comment unfavorably
upon other forms of insurance, I suggest for your
consideration that if you should increase your pre-
miums in order to obtain a large surplus reserve, and
should arrange to pay to Gompers of the Cigar
Makers, Mitchell of the Mine Workers, Stone, Clark
and Morrisey of the Railroad organizations, and Dun-
can of the Granite Cutters, $100,000.00 per annum
each, as presidents of the insurance departments, in
lieu of the modest salaries they now receive, and al-
low each of them to surround himself with a Board
of Directors at $20,000.00 per annum in payment for
their services in handling your surplus, you would be
strictly up to date in the insurance world. I doubt,
however, whether your insurance would be of more
real value than at present.
But, seriously, without any consideration concern-
ing the stability, or the reverse, of either assessment
or "Old Line " insurance, I wish to call your atten-
tion to a fact not generally taken into consideration
in estimating the value of labor union protection.
A man usually learns but one trade. He enters into
this as his life occupation, and does not change it ex-
cept through stress of extraordinary circumstances.
The same tie that binds him to his trade binds him to
his organization. His union is along natural lines,
and ordinarily a man will not leave his union any more
than he will change his trade. When, on account of
his necessities, he is constrained to provide against
the time when his work will either temporarily or per-
manently cease, he enters his whole trade — his means
of livelihood — as an asset in his insurance company.
No temporary inconvenience will cause him to sep
arate himself from the benefits of his union, and in
this rests the stability of the form of insurance we
are considering over all other.
The continued growth of this phase of the labor
union places its membership more squarely before tho
vyorld as willing to fight its own battles and bear its
'inn burden in peace time as well as in' war. The
man wno, through his organization, gathers his fam-
ily around him, turns his back upon the relief officer
and the poorhouse, and voluntarily assumes all of his
financial burden, is entitled to, and will receive, the
admiration and respect of the entire nation,

English Fisheries.
The following striking figures as to the im-
portance of the fishing industry in England
are taken from the official report for l!)0o.
They give the value of all kinds of fish landed
in England and Wales, and the number of
men and boys employed in the business. The
value of the fish was over $35,000,000, and the
business gave employment to 11,539 persons.
For some years there was a steady decline
in the number of first-class sailing trawlers.
That was arrested in 1903, though the fall in
the average tonnage continued. As there was
a slight increase of first-class steam trawlers,
whereas the number had been stationary in
1901 and 1902, this would appear to show a
confidence on the part of owners in the con-
tinued prosperity of the industry. This is
accentuated by the fact that the average ton-
nage of the steam trawlers is increasing. In
1902 there were 1,096 first-class steam trawlers
with an average tonnage of 56.3; the follow-
ing year there were 1,135 with an average ton-
nage of 57.3. There were 822 lirst-class sail-
ing trawlers in 1903, an increase of 15, but the
average tonnage Eel! from 40 to 39.1. "Sail-
ers" are not likely to become obsolete. The
report states that owing to economic condi-
tions (such as price of coal, etc.) and the dif-
ferent kinds of fishing apparatus employed
the respective spheres of operation of steam
and sail will always be more or less sharply
defined. Steatm is uow employed on the larg-
er "sailers" for hauling work in the manip-
ulation of trawl and sails, and by the adop-
tion of auxiliary motor power, to be used on
occasions when sails are unavailable, the posi-
tion of sailing-trawlers is likely to be still fur-
ther strengthened. It is estimated that 9,721
vessels were employed in the fisheries in 1903,
ranging from the large Iceland steam trawler
to the small open rowing boat, and 1,457 were
propelled by steam, 6,911 by sails, and 1,353
by oars. The steamers, with very few excep-
tions, use an otter trawl, adapted for fairly-
level, smooth ground, and workable in deep
water; the "sailers" use the beam trawl,
which is not usually employed below a mod-
erate depth, but can be used when required on
rough and sloping ground. There are "ordi-
nary" steam trawlers, to the number of about
1.000, which fish a.s far away as Faroe, Ice-
land and the Hay of Biscay, and land their
own iish ; and there are "fleeting" trawlers,
about 150 in all, which work together in large
fleets on the same ground and send their fish
to Billingsgate by special steamers known as
•carriers."
The tendency is to concentrate the fishing
industry at a few ports. Of the first-class
si earners five ports on the east coast — North
Shields, Hull, Grimsby, Yarmouth and Lowe-
stoft— have 1,214, or 83 per cent of the total.
The points that determine choice of steam
trawling centers are facilities for dock accom-
modation, lowness of price and readiness of
supply of coal and ice, and facility of access
to Billingsgate and other centers of consump-
tion. "Keen competition between rival ports
in catering for the needs of this class of ship-
ping may be expected, ' ' says the report, ' ' and
may have a beneficial influence upon railway
rates, and thereby on the price of fish to the
consumer. ' '
For every foreign steam trawler engaged,
or likely to have been engaged, in fishing in
the North Sea, there were five from the North
Sea ports of England alone.
Vessels fishing by trawls and lines go far-
ther and farther afield in search of new
grounds. Grimsby sends about fifty-five
steam liners and between sixly and seventy
steam trawlers to Icelandic and Faroese
grounds, while eighty steamboats from Hull
also Iish off Iceland.
Until some eight or nine years ago the
trawlers limited themselves to the southeast
side of Iceland, or at any rate did not go far-
ther from home than to the Westmanna Isl-
ands. This was owing partly to their limited
coal-carrying capacity — the largest vessels
then not exceeding 150 tons gross tonus
and partly to the fact that fish were found in
sufficient abundance to make the compara-
tively short voyages remunerative. At the
present time some of the vessels are of as
much as 275 tons burden, and most are suffi-
ciently large and well-equipped to permit of
their circumnavigating Iceland, visiting the
more distant waters, and fishing all the year
round. Each vessel may make from twenty
to thirty voyages a year, and may bring home
from twenty to one hundred tons of iish per
The catch consists of plaice, had-
dock, halibut, ling, torsk, skate and cod.
.Much Iish is now brought home and found to
be salable, which was formerly regarded as
valueless and thrown overboard, it being esti-
mated that in the early days of the trade some
50 per cent of the catch was thus rejected.
There were landed at all stations in Eng-
land and Wales during 1903 nearly 153,000
tons of herrings. The average value per hun-
dred-weight was $1.40, as against $1.50 in
1902 and $1.74 in 1901.
Herrings form the great bulk of exports of
fish, and they go mostly to Germany. The
wilue of exported herrings in 1903 was $11,-
961,461, as against $14,277,911 in the pre-
vious year, the fall being in values rather
than quantities. It may be mentioned here,
as showing the reputation enjoyed by the
British salmon, that this Iish was exported to
the value of $284,519 in 1903.
Labor in Italy.
Consul Dunning writes from Milan that
the modifications of the law of June 19, 1902,
governing the employment of women and
children, recently brought before the Italian
Chamber of Deputies, provide for new regu-
lations which will be of interest in industrial
America. The new regulations provide that
children of either sex under 12 years will
not be allowed to work in any factory or
mine. This provision is practically extend-
ed also to any trade. For admission to work
in mines, tunnels, and so forth, children must
have attained the age of 13 years where there
is electric traction and 14 years where there
is no electric traction; and women and girls
an excluded altogether from this class of
labor, regardless of age.
In work of a heavy, unhealthy, or danger-
ous nature, the new laws provide that no boys
under 15 years of age shall be employed, or
females under the age of 21. In Sicily, under
certain circumstances, boys of 13 years will
be allowed to continue in the employments
where they are now engaged until July 1,
1907, after which the age limit will be 14
years under the conditions named above.
Night work will not legally exceed nine hours
out of any twenty-four, and in cases where
night and day shifts are used the reliefs shall
be made every eight hours.
These new regulations indicate the amount
of thought which is being devoted to an im-
portant branch of social science by the Ital-
ian Government.
Chinese in Canadian Mines.
Some time ago the British Columbia Parlia-
ment enacted a law forbidding the employ-
ment of Chinamen in mining underground.
The Wellington Colliery Company, desiring to
test this law, continued to employ < 'hinamen in
underground work, whereupon an agreed case
was submitted to the courts, and passed finally
to the Privy Council in London, England, the
court of last resort. The judicial committee of
the Privy Council has handed down a decision
in favor of the colliery company. The com-
mittee sustained the contention of the company
that it could send its employes to any portion
of its property. Similar acts, relating to both
Chinese and Japanese, have previously been
disallowed by the Dominion Government; and
in one case Downing street decided against a
law very similar to the one just acted upon.
This discussion has moved one of the Van-
couver daily papers to comment editorially as
follows :
Taking this new decision into consideration,
and knowing that any legislation which we
may enact against the Japanese will be disal-
lowed, the people here may well ask them-
selves, is it worth while to continue to pass
local legislation against Asiatics? It seems
better to try a new tack, and that is to educate
the rest of Canada up to the British Columbia
view. We are moved to make this comment
because it seems to us that at present British
Columbia is kicking against the pricks. We
may go on legislating session after session, we
may go on inaugurating costly legal appeal
after costly legal appeal, but the result will
be the same — the Acts wdl be disallowed, the
Province will lose the lawsuits and be mulcted
in costs. It is obviously necessary that the
present method of attacking obnoxious immi-
gration and employment be changed or that
our attitude against the Asiatics be modified.
Which is it to be? The subject demands tin-
deepest consideration. We know and we
sympathize with the feelings of the working
classes in this matter; at the same time, it
appears absurd for the local Legislature to
keep on passing bills which it knows can only
live a few months.
At the recent convention in Hamburg of
the Coal Dealers' Association of Germany a
number of delegates spoke on the practice of
tipping and bribing. They complained that
stokers and others having to do with coal used
in manufacturing works and large establish-
ments of any kind must be given bribe money,
( r have their influence used against the coal
dealers to prevent the securing of new orders.
The delegates urged the necessity of taking
u-es to abolish the nefarious practice.
Americans traveling in Europe find the tip-
ping abuse very annoying. The tipping evil
has undoubtedly led to the bribery method
which now has become so vexatious to business
people.
The Franconian Gardening Association, of
Frankfort, Germany, last year inaugurated
the presentation of flowers and plants in pots
to the children of the public schools in order
to instill a love for plant culture. This scheme
has succeeded amazingly. Before the summer
vacation commences the children produce their
potted plants and flowers and such as merit
approbation receive prizes. At the last school
exhibitions of this kind held at Wurzburg 133
children were awarded prizes for their efforts
at plant cultui-e.

Employers and Labor Laws.
It has come to be almost a lav/ of nature
that when the corporate employers of labor
can not dispose of a labor measure in any
other way, they will get busy dispatching it
with their favorite coup de grace — having it
declared unconstitutional by the courts. Also,
when a labor bill is up for consideration by
the lawmakers, the representatives of the em-
ployers are certain to be on hand and de-
nounce the whole thing as a deep-laid scheme
of the unions to get the upper hand of the
employers and "run their business." The
organized seamen, for instance, have always
been lammed good and plenty with this brand
of argument when endeavoring to secure the
passage of some bill intended to safeguard life
and property at sea by providing that all ves-
sels must be properly manned by a sufficient
number of efficient seamen". It is, of course,
highly desirable that there shall be as little
governmental interference as possible with the
businesses of private citizens and corpora-
tions, but if governments are instituted for
any one thing more than another it is for the
protection of life and property. Hence, the
trade-unions are simply performing an im-
perative civic duty in insisting that laws shall
be passed for the protection of life and -prop-
erty, and be enforced; and the constant op-
position of employers of labor to the passage
of such laws, or to their subsequent enforce-
ment, should brand them in the minds of all
right-thinking men as enemies of society.
This opinion, however, is not advanced here
with the hope that it will be very generally
accepted, for it is unfortunately true that we
live in times when money covereth a multi-
tude of faults for which a poor man would be
sent to Coventry in short order.
The foregoing sentiments are emphasized
just now by the attempt of the anthracite
coal-operators of Pennsylvania to have the
anthracite miners' certificate law set aside on
the ground of unconstitutionality. This law,
as may be known, was passed by the PennsyL
vania Legislature in 1897, and provides, in
effect, that no man shall be allowed to work
in the anthracite mines as a miner unless he
has first worked two years as a helper and
qualified for a miner's certificate. The in-
tent of the law is, of course, to minimize the
more than ordinarily great danger to life con-
nected with coal-mining by having the work
performed by expert miners. It would seem
that no man worthy of a place next to the ad-
jective "civilized" would have any objection
to such a law, yet at this moment there is a
hearing in progress before a notary in the
Astor House, New York, instigated by the
coal-operators for the purpose of taking such
testimony from disgruntled miners as will en-
able them to have the anthracite Certificate
law declared unconstitutional upon the
ground that it discriminates against bitumin-
ous miners. The attorneys for the operators
are present at the hearing gathering material
for a test case, which has already been begun,
and they express the greatest confidence in
their ability to have the law nullified by the
courts. It is intimated, indeed, that they have
already received assurances to that effect
from a quarter where cut-and-dried decisions
are kept in stock for the friends of the con-
cern. The ulterior object of all this activity
on the part of the operators is to place them
in a position on April 1, 1906, when their
present agreement with the anthracite miners
expires, to lock them out should they demand
an increase of wages or a reduction of hours,
and replace them with bituminous miners or
pick-ups from the detention pen on Ellis Isl-
and. No sort of consideration whatever is
given to the increased danger to life which
the employment of inexperienced men in the
anthracite mines would to a certainty cause,
and the whole business suggests that none too
strong language is used in describing it as sor-
did and contemptible.
Japanese Emigration.
Japan will soon have an ample outlet for its sur-
plus population in Corea, which it proposes to develop,
and the Government policy undoubtedly will be to
turn emigration thither and keep Japanese labor under
the Japanese flag, where there will be abundant em-
ployment for it. — Milwaukee Sentinel.
It is to be hoped that the Sentinel's conject-
ure is right. It is much more likely, though,
that the Japanese, if they emigrate at all for
the purpose of obtaining employment, will do
the same as other men; that is, they will go
where they can get the most money for their
labor. This being the case, Corea will have
no special inducements for Japanese laborers,
compared to those held out to them by cheap-
labor-hunting contractors in the United States.
Corea is fairly well peopled, and her coolies
work even cheaper than do the Japanese or
Chinese, and would, of course, determine the
rate of wages for unskilled labor in that
country. There does not seem to be much
comfort, therefore, in the optimistic view of
the Sentinel on the subject of Japanese emi-
gration and immigration, and perhaps it was
not specially meant to afford any comfort to
those who know the real situation with regard
to Japanese cheap labor in this country. It
is much more probable that it was meant to
reassure that very large class of citizens who
are against Mongolian immigration on pas-
sively general principles, and thus lessen
whatever possible chances . there may be of
turning them into active opponents of such
immigration.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt and wife were kept
awake the other night by the "chug, chug"
of a vulgar steam-drill, working in their
neighborhood. The police were communicat-
ed with, and requested to stop the "nui-
sance, ' ' so that Mr. Vanderbilt and wife could
woo "nature's sweet restorer" in the serene
tranquility and ease to which they are habit-
uated— and the "nuisance" was forthwith
enjoined from breaking into the stilly night
so long as Mr. Vanderbilt and wife elected to
honor the neighborhood with their presence.
The incident is mentioned here merely be-
cause the procedure of the police in this in-
stance was so much at variance with the
usual "Ah, g'wan, or I'll fan ye" reception
accorded the complaints of ordinary citizens,
that a first-class text may be evolved from it
by some unsophisticated young writer on 'that
soul -stirring theme, "Human Equality."
Frivolous arguments in a controversy are
as dirt in the economy of Nature — matter out
of place.
Protection and Wages.
The practically unanimous vote of the Brit-
ish Trade-Union Congress against a protect-
ive tariff proves that the British workers are
not so easily fooled as are American working-
men by the sophistries of Protection. It is
very strange, too, that American workingmen,
generally accounted the most intelligent in the
world, should still submit to the legalized rob-
bery of the many by the few, carried on under
the guise of Protection. The only explana-
tion of this seeming inconsistency is probably
to be found in the fact that our protective
tariff, by virtue of its long standing, has ac-
quired some of that venerableness which is
unconsciously associated with all long-estab-
lished institutions. A high tariff simply bene-
fits a few privileged interests by choking off
competition in the particular commodities or
staples which they trade in. It has no re-
deeming features whatever, but several bad
ones, chief of which is its indisputable tend-
ency to increase the cost of living to the con-
suming classes, which, of course, includes
practically every citizen of the United States.
The claim that a high tariff increases the
wages of workingmen is one of the most ridic-
ulous ever made, and is an insult to the in-
telligence of workingmen. There is nothing
whatever in our tariff laws that could possi-
bly be construed as making it mandatory upon
employers of labor to pay high wages or low
wages, or any wages at all. Such being the
case, common sense ought to prove to the sat-
isfaction of any one interested in the subject
that no normal-minded employer of labor will
pay higher wages than he can get men to
work for. The reason why wages in the
United States are on an average higher than
elsewhere is mainly because, thanks to the
tariff, it costs more to live here. Organiza-
tion among workingmen, with its educating
influence in the direction of a high standard
of living and a more advanced civilization, is
also doing much to maintain a high wage-
rate. It is, indeed, to be feared that were it
not for the trade-union movement the living
conditions of workingmen in the United
States would be even worse than they are in
Europe, for it is a well-proved economic fact
that where the price of the necessaries of life
is artificially enhanced by a tariff or other
means the wages of labor are never propor-
tionately advanced. For instance, while the
cost of living in the United States has increas-
ed fully thirty-three per cent in the last
twenty years, the wages of unskilled labor
have remained practically stationary in that
period; and even with the help of organiza-
tion the wages of skilled labor have not kept
pace with the increased cost of living. The
truth of the whole matter is that, while a high
tariff undoubtedly protects capital, labor will
still have to accept competitive market wages.

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system when entering it

Seamen and Contraband.
The following important decision is re-
printed from the Labor Gazette, the official
publication of the British Board of Trade:
A seaman signed articles in April, 1904, to
serve on board a steamship, at £3 15s. a
month, for a voyage not exceeding two years'
duration, to any ports within the limits of 75
deg. N. and 60 deg. S. latitude, commencing
at Barry, proceeding thence to Hong Kong,,
thence to ports in any rotation, and to end at
such port in the United Kingdom or the
Continent of Europe (within home trade lim-
its) as should be required by the master. At
the time of signing the articles, a state of war
existed between Russia and Japan, and coal
had been declared contraband by both Powers,
as all the crew were aware. The ship left
Barry with a cargo of coal for Hong Kong or
Shanghai, as might be ordered at Singapore.
On arrival at Singapore on June 27, 1904, the
master received orders to take the cargo to
Nagasaki instead of Hong Kong, Nagasaki be-
ing within the limits of trading mentioned in
the articles. The next day the crew heard for
the first time that they were to go to Japan,
and they refused to go because of the danger.
The master accordingly arranged with the
crew to remain at Singapore, and that he
would call for them on his way back from Nag-
asaki. The ship then proceeded with another
crew, and reached Nagasaki in safety; but on
her way back to Singapore she went ashore on
the coast of China on August 1. She was,
however, after some time got off, and eventual-
ly reached Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, on September 4, the seaman
and the rest of the crew were sent home to
London as distressed seamen at the cost of the
owner of the vessel. They arrived in London
on October 23, and the next day applied for
their wages, but were refused. As a test case,
one of the seamen accordingly took out a sum-
mons to recover his wages, and the magistrate
made an order in his favor for £17 18s. 2d.,
the amount due up to the day of arrival in
London.
The owners of the vessel appealed, but the
High Court confirmed the order of the magis-
trate, holding that the seamen had not con-
tracted to serve on a ship which might carry
contraband of war to a Japanese port, and that
with regard to the arrangement made at Sing-
apore there was evidence that it was intended
that the contract should continue so far as
wages were concerned. — Lloyd v. Sheen,
King's Bench Division, July 1, 1905.
In streets not more than 10 meters (32.8)
wide in Budapest, Hungary, private buildings
may not exceed three stories above the ground
floor, say 20 meters (65.6 feet) ; in streets 15
or more meters wide (49.2 feet or more) four
stories are allowed, with a height of about 25
meters (82 feet). The height of any public
building or specially fitted private house may

WEDNESDAY,
SEPTEMBER 27, 1905.
VOLUME XIX.
With this issue the Coast Seamen's Jour-
nal enters upon its nineteenth year. We note
the fact, as of importance in itself and as an
appropriate occasion upon which to revert
briefly to the genius which inspired the estab-
lishment and which has throughout dictated
the management of the paper. The Journal
is growing old; as compared with the average
life of similar publications, it is a veritable
patriarch. With a well-established reputation
among the labor press of the country and a
business standing that is entirely satisfactory
to publishers and patrons, the Journal is
under no necessity of bespeaking either sym-
pathy or support. The present occasion re-
quires only that we shall assure ourselves of
loyalty to our earlier traditions. Perpetual
youth is a vain dream. The .Journal may
have lust some of the (ire that characterized its
youth, but we believe it has gained in place
thereof a discretion that is at least equally
valuable for all practical purposes. Estab-
lished primarily to educate the seamen and
the public, and. in almost equal degree, to
espouse the cause of organized labor in every
Craft, the JOTJENAL lias ever SOUght tO ''keep
her so" — to steer straighl and true to the
course set by the men who launched the craft.
Of course, we have erred at times; that much
was inevitable. Like the good helmsman who,
while dreaming of home and beauty, lets his
ship "fall off" or "broach to," the manage-
ment of the Journal, while dreaming of this,
that or the other "reform," has departed
from the rule thai the only reform that
amounts to anything is that which we work
for, not dream of. With all that, the manager-
ial conscience is clear on the score of reason-
able care and enterprise, honesty and indus-
try, and. above all, on the score that no word
that may be charged to our dishonor has ever
been knowingly published in these columns.
With highest appreciation of the kindnesses
shown by contemporaries, advertisers and
readers, we start out upon another year's voy-
age, with the hope and determination to main-
tain the success already won and to attain
that which we have as yet fallen short of.
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL'S "DECISION.'
Washington, D. C, September 22, 1905,
Andrew Furuseth, San Francisco, Cal.
Telegram received. The Executive Council adopted
the following, relative to Seamen versus Longshore-
men controversy: "The Executive Council approves
and indorses the letter of President Gompers, sent to
the unions on the Coast, July 7, 1905, stating the
position of the American Federation of Labor upon
the controversy between the seamen and longshoremen
on the Pacific Coast; and we declare as unwarranted
and contrary to trade-union principles and policy, the
demand of anyone or any body that longshon
unions on the Pacific Coast or elsewhere to surrender
their charters received from their International Union;
and we request all unions on the Coast to protect the
longshoremen 's unions in their right to maintain their
affiliation with their own International Union."
Frank Mokki
Secretary, American Federation of Lnlior.
The foregoing, sent, by Secretary Morrison
in reply to an inquiry by the Sailors' Union
of the Pacific, contains the exact terms of the
action taken by the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor, at its meeting
in Washington, D. C, last week. Tn seeking
definite information the Sailors' Union was
prompted by the wording, or rather heading,
of the press dispatches, which intimated that
the Executive Council had ''decided in favor
of the longshoremen." A perusal of the Ex-
ecutive Council's language shows that thai
body, so far from deciding in favor of the
Longshoremen, has said nothing bearing in any
way upon the dispute between the Interna-
tional Seamen's Union of America and the so-
called "International Longshoremen, Marine
and Transport Workers' Association." The
natural, and indeed necessary presumption
that the Executive Council had in mind the
dispute between these bodies when it adopted
the foregoing declaration, indicates more
clearly than does the language itself the de-
sire of the Executive Council to evade respon-
sibility for any decision that will really
decide.
The Executive Council knows very well
that no dispute exists between seamen and
longshoremen, as suchj it knows that the dis-
pute in question arises between the seamen
and a body which, under the guise of long-
shoremen, pretends to, and wherever possible
practices jurisdiction over seafaring crafts, in
deliberate and contemptuous violation of the
principles, laws and decisions of the American
Federation of Labor. It might reasonably be
supposed that with this knowledge the Exec-
utive Council would find little difficulty, even
if a sense of duty did not impose a mandate
in the case, in declaring unequivocally for one
side or other in the controversy. Such a dec-
laration, if issued, would necessarily favor
the seamen, since the Federation itself has so
declared, and with increasing emphasis, in
three consecutive conventions. The Execu-
tive Council, being indisposed to make a frank
statement of its position, yet feeling bound
to make a statement of some kind, compro-
mises between its own conscience and the will
of the Federation by issuing a statement that
means nothing.
Of course, the ambiguity of the Executive
Council's language is easily explainable. That
body, in all its dealings with the jurisdiction
dispute between seamen and longnamemen,
has indulged the fiction that the repres*
tions made to it by the opponents of the sea-
men are made in the name of the International
Longshoremen's Association. In taking this
position the Executive Council, lias the excuse
—a very good one, by the way— that the In-
ternational Longshoremen's Association is the
only body of longshoremen recognized by the
American Federation of Labor, and, further,
that the latter has upon every occasion specifi-
cally and emphatically refused to recognize
the longshoremen under any other name. Iu
any circumstances the practice of assuming a
fiction instead of recognizing a fact is a diffi-
cult one to carry out. In the present circum-
stances the ordinary difficulties of the situa-
tion are increased by the peculiar make-up of
the Executive Council itself. The President
of the "I. L. M. and T. A.", Daniel J. Keefe,
is a member of the Executive Council, and
doubtless loses no opportunity to assert the
claims of his long-name organization. Thus
the Executive Council is under the necessity,
not only of adopting a fiction — of pretending
to act in the name of the International
Longshoremen's Association — but of doing so
in spite of the fact to the contrary, insisted
upon by one of its own members. When Pres-
ident Keefe invokes the aid of the Executive
Council, lie does so on behalf of the "I. L. M.
and T. A." When the Executive Council re-
sponds to that appeal, it does so on behalf of
the International Longshoremen's Associa-
tion! The Executive Council "requests all
unions on the Coast to protect the longshore-
men's unions in their right to maintain their
affiliation with their own international union,"
knowing all the time that no one has ever
sought to interfere with the longshoremen's
unions in their relations with their interna-
tional union— knowing, as a matter of fact,
that there is no international union of long-
shoremen, that the body which now poses in
that capacity has assumed characteristics
which deprive it of all Legitimate claim to rec-
ognition as such.
As already stated, the "decision" of the
Executive Council decides nothing, nor is it
intended to decide anything. The terms of
the statement just issued .are so general that
they might well be indorsed by the seamen
themselves, were the latter disposed to enter
into the spirit of the Executive Council. The
question at issue h;is been up for action by the
American Federation of Labor during the
past four years, and it is still before that
tribunal. Thus far the Federation has ex-
pressed its disapproval of the methods adopt-
ed by Keefe and his long-name conventions,
and until that expression is changed the sea-
men will consider themselves authorized by
the supreme body of organized labor, as they
are impelled by the nature of their circum-
stances, to adopt such measures as may be nec-
essary for the preservation of their organiza-
tion. The seamen feel confident that in pur-
suing this course they will receive the support
of every trade-unionist, including every Long-
shoreman, who values the principles of the
Labor movement above his respect for a decla-
ration that entirely ignores these principles,
no matter how apparently authoritative such
declaration may be.
The Labor Day address of Labor Commis-
sioner Stafford, on the subject of "Trade-
Union Insurance" (published on page 1 of
this issue), is a valuable exposition of a phase
of trade-unionism that is too much neglected,
even by trade-unionists themselves, in the con-
sideration of that subject. Probably no more
profitable address wtis made anywhere on
Labor Day than that delivered by Mr. Staf-
ford in San Francisco. We commend the ad-
dress in question to the carefid study of our
i -aders.

McKINLAY AND THE JAPS.
The results of the investigations made in
the Orient by the Taft Congressional party
are already apparent in part. For instance,
Representative McKinlay, of California, has
discovered that there is little danger of a
Japanese influx to the United States ! In a
letter recently published in one of Mr. Mc-
Kinlay's home papers, that gentleman says:
One other thing that the writer learned is that it
is against the policy of the Japanese Government to
permit her people to emigrate to America or any other
country, excepting Korea and Manchuria. In a recent
conversation Marquis Ito, the first man of Japan and
next to her Emperor, said : ' ' Japan needs all her own
people. Nowhere can she get labor equal to them.
Therefore it is our policy to keep our laborers at home
to aid in building up the Empire."
Along this line the Government of Japan has passed
laws preventing in some measure her laborers from
leaving the country. If the policy is followed up it
will allay the fears of a Japanese invasion of labor
on the Pacific Slope, quiet the apprehensions of the
working people of California and lessen the possibility
of a serious complication with a nation which to-day
at least seems earnestly desirous of becoming the true
friend of the American republic.
All this is very comforting, of course. As-
surances of a similar nature have appeared in
the American press from time to time; but, to
be sure, it is something to receive these assur-
ances from Marquis Ito himself. It remains
to be said, however, that the talk of diversion
or restriction of Japanese emigration is heav-
ily discounted by the fact that the Japs con-
tinue to arrive in the United States in con-
stantly-increasing numbers. We very much
fear that the "Yankees of the Orient" have
unloaded a few wooden nutmegs on the Cali-
fornia member of the Congressional party;
either that, or the latter is disposed to put the
credulity of his constituents to a pretty stiff
test.
"Government by Injunction" has laid its
hand in unsparing fashion upon the Hotel
and Restaurant Employes of San Francisco.
At the instance of the organized employers in
the trade, over twenty injunctions have been
issued in the case of as many restaurants and
saloons. The cooks, waiters and bartenders in
these places have dared to appeal to the public
for support in the effort to establish and
maintain decent conditions of employment.
This heinous offense has been met by the
courts, with the mandate, "I forbid!" For-
tunately for the dignity of the courts, as well
as for the interests of the cooks, waiters and
bartenders, the mandate of the king (ahem, of
the judge) does not involve compulsion to
patronize the firms which have sought the aid
of the authorities in their opposition to the
requests of their employes. The public is still
at liberty to bestow its patronage upon those
houses which recognize the rights of their em-
ployes. The Journal urgently requests its
readers to assist the men and women involved
in this contest by patronizing only such houses
as employ union help. Look for the working
button of the waiter, waitress or bartender!
The button is the only guarantee that fair
conditions prevail in any given house. Ab-
sence of the button indicates, in fact proves,
the existence of conditions that are degrad-
ing to the employes and dangerous to the
patrons.
Read the "We Don't Patronize" list, as
published weekly in another column of the
Journal, and withhold your patronage from
the concerns therein named. A little personal
interest in this matter will work wonders in
the improvement of relations between em-
ployers and employes.
Whereas, There are now pending in the Police
Courts of the city several charges of violating the
Child Labor law, enacted by the last session of the
Legislature ; and
Whereas, It appears that in a certain instance the
hearing of these charges has been continued from
time to time, without proper cause, and in violation
of the City Charter; therefore be it
Resolved, By the San Francisco Labor Council
that we regard such action as dangerous to the Child
Labor law, and calculated to work the negation of
that measure through non-enforcement ; further be it
Resolved, That we strongly urge upon the local
authorities the necessity of the prompt and strict en-
forcement of the law, in order that it may be as-
sured of public respect and obedience.
The foregoing resolution, adopted by the
San Francisco Labor Council on September
22, is designed to correct the impression that
seems to exist in certain quarters, namely,
that organized labor is indifferent, if not act-
ually opposed, to the Child Labor law. Labor
Commissioner Stafford is making an earnest
and energetic effort to enforce the law in ques-
tion, and now finds himself hampered and the
law endangered by failure on the part of the
judicial authorities to punish, or even try, of-
fenders against that measure. The Labor
Council and organized labor generally
throughout the State favors the strict enforce-
ment of the Child Labor law and of all other
laws and will hold to accountability all public
officials responsible for any laxity or failure
in this regard.
To a trade-unionist one of the most inter-
esting features of the Lewis and Clark Ex-
position, at Portland, Or., is the exhibit of
the International Cigarmakers' Union. The
exhibit is in the form of a cigar factory, in
which the process of cigar-making is demon-
strated in detail by members of the local un-
ion. Literature is distributed and every op-
portunity afforded visitors to acquaint them-
selves with the merits of union-made cigars.
The Cigarmakers are entitled to great credit
for their enterprise in this connection. It
remains to be said that the Portland exhibit
is but one of the numerous measures adopted
by the International Cigarmakers' Union to
popularize union products, measures which
redound to the advantage of trade-unionists
in all other crafts. Trade-unionists generally
should show their appreciation of these bene-
fits by demanding the blue label of the Cigar-
makers when buying cigars.
The charge, made by Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw, that the Marine Hospital Serv-
ice is conducted in a "grossly extravagant"
manner will come as a surprise to those sea-
men who have had the misfortune to learn the
facts from personal experience. If the mat-
ter were put to a vote of the Marine Hospital
patients, acting upon their own knowledge,
the result would be a unanimous decision that
in the matter of economizing the Marine Hos-
pital Service couldn't go any further without
crossing the line of literal starvation. But,
of course, the sick sailor may not know all
that goes on among the well men in the
Service !
The International Union of Flour and Cere-
al Mill Workers calls attention to the fact that
the fight is still on with the Washburn-Crosby
Milling Co., and asks the support of organized
labor. This flour is on the unfair list of the
American Federation of Labor.

p. m., E. A. Erickson presiding. Secretary reported
shipping fair. D. McLennan, Chairman of the Joint
Labor Day Committee, formally presented the Labor
Day Trophy won by the Sailors' Union of the Pacific
as the best appearing Union in the Labor Day Parade.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The Red Front Clothing Company, of San
Francisco, through the San Francisco Labor Council,
has this day presented to the Sailors' Union of the
Pacific a Loving Cup, in accordance with the judges'
decision that this Union made the best appearance in
the Labor Day Parade of 1905; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, that
we hereby express our appreciation of the good will
shown by the Red Front Clothing Company in offer-
ing this token, both for its value as a work of art
and for the sentiments of interest in, and respect for,
organized labor which it conveys on behalf of its
donor, and acknowledge the honor conferred upon us
by the presentation now made ; further
Resolved, That these resolutions be appropriately
transcribed and framed with the Loving Cup and dis-
played at Headquarters as a pleasing memento of a
great occasion worthily honored by botli donor and
recipient ; further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be pre-
sented to the Red Front Clothing Company.

LaKe Cargo Records.
Willi the frequent announcement of broken
records in tin' Lake carrying trade, the true
inwardness of results accomplished could not
he impressed upon the unaware with the scant
announcement from time to time that this
boal or that, boat lias broken a record either
in size of cargo carried or length of time
i to load or unload the same. The two
steamers, Elbert II. Gary and George W. Per-
kins, owned and controlled by the Pittsburg
Steamship Company, now hold all ore carry-
ing records on the Lakes. The largest cargo of
the Gary through St. Mary's Canal was over
11,0!*:! tons. As a matter of comparison it
may lie interesting to know that in 1 HOI the
barge Manila held the record with 7,398
gross tons; in 1902 the barge Smeaton held
the record with 7,576 gross tons; in 190:! the
steamer Edenbom carried 7.799 gross tons
through the canal, and in 1904 the steamer
Augustus B. Wolvin captured the record with
10,245 gross tons.
"The steamer Elberl H. Gary, which went
into commission May 29 of this year, has to
date carried ten cargoes as follows: Ashland
to South Chicago. 10,597; Ashland to South
Chicago, 10,728; Ashland to South Chicago,
10,877; Ashland to South Chicago, 10.7"»7;
Ashland to South Chicago, 10,828; Escanaba
to South Chicago, 12,338; Ashland to South
Chicago, 11,093; Ashland to South Chicago,
11,034; Ashland to South Chicago, 11,043;
Ashland to South Chicago, 10,870. The
si earner George W. Perkins, which went into
commission July 11, has delivered seven ear-
goes, five of which are as follows: Duluth to
Conneaut, 10,514; Two Harbors to Conneaut,
10,519; Two Harbors to Conneaut, 10,714;
Two Harbors to Conneaut, 10,654; Two Har-
bors to Conneaut, 10,514; Two Harbors to
Conneaut, 10,760; Two Harbors to Conneaut.
10,244.
The draught of these big carriers is an es-
sential item, but aside from one instance, the
one in which the Gary carried 11,034 tons
from Ashland to Smith Chicago, when she
drew 111 feel 9 inches forward and 20 feet 1
inch aft, are not available. The Gary in her
record cargo of 12,328 gross tons from Esca-
naba to South Chicago had a draught of over
22 feet, but the water between these two
points is exceptional and can not be taken as
criterion in the general ore carrying trade.
Mate and CooK Drowned.
The schooner Y. H. Ketchum caught fire on
September 17. oft' Parisian Island. The fire
soon gol beyond control, and the crew lowered
the yawl. .Mrs. I'». Ames, the cook, was being
lowered into the boat when the latter capsized,
throwing six men into the water. Mate An-
drew Anderson jumped to the rescue of Mrs.
Ames and reached her as she was sinking for
the last time. He attempted to swim back to
the vessel with her, but had drifted too far,
and both sank in sight of the crew, who were
powerless to render assistance. No other lives
were lost. The Ketchum was owned by the
Selther Transit Co.. of Cleveland, O., and
sailed by Captain Dan Wilman.

Bodies Found and Missing.
Pour bodies from the wreck of the Sevomi
have been found. Captain McDonald's body
was shipped to his wife, at North East, Pa.;
that of First -Mate Lewis Darwin to his wife.
;it Medina. O. ; that of Wheelsman Nels Sal-
verson to his brother, at Buffalo, N. Y.; and
that of Wheelsman Otto Wellet to his mother.
at Cleveland, O. The bodies of the second-
mate and two watchmen are still missing. The
owners of the Sevona paid all bills. It is
to be regretted that the names of all those who
died that the women passengers might be
saved can not be placed on record. There are
several stories afloat, but the likeliest one is
that there was not room enough in the small
boats for passengers and crew. Captain Mc-
Donald called for volunteers to die that the
ethers might live. The gallant forward rvrw
volunteered to a man.
Pour bodies of the crew of the Pretoria have
been found and identified. The body of II. L.
Bryant, cook, was shipped to his wife, at
Duluth, Minn., that of Seaman Axel Lindloff
to his mother, at Marinette, Wis., that of Sea-
man Harry Schwab to his brother, at Bay City.
Mich. The owners paid the expenses of send-
ing two of the bodies home, but for some rea-
son refused to pay the expense of the third.
The fourth body, that of Seaman Alfred Peter-
son, is still at Ashland, the Agent of the Lake
Seamen's Union having been unable to locate
his relatives. He is a blonde, 5 feet 8 inches
in height, native of Sweden, wore a gold ring,
with the name Selmar 19 14-2 05 on the in-
side of the ring. The body of Isaac Mayer,
seaman of the Pretoria, is still missing.

Canadian Immigration.
During the past year seventy-six agents in
the United States received commissions of $3
for each man, $2 for each woman, and $1 for
each child induced to go as agricultural set-
tlers in Western Canada. In Great Britain
the commission for immigrants to Canada is
$1.75 for each adult agriculturist or domestic
servant, and half as much for each child of 12
years or under. This money is paid to thp
booking agents of the steamship companies. A
commission of $2 per head is paid for children
sent to this country by philanthropic societies
and +1 per head is paid to the North Atlantic
Trading Company of Amsterdam for all agri-
cultural immigrants from certain countries of
Europe. The amounts paid during the last lis-
cal year were as follows: On immigrants
from the United States, .+14.428: to steam-
ship agents, sub-agents, and immigration so-
cieties on British immigrants, $43,220; and on
Icelanders, $2,104; bonuses on domestic serv-
ants, $1,008; on immigrants from (heat
Britain $2 each, $246; to societies for children
from Great Britain, $2,608; bonuses on immi-
grants from the continent of Europe. $35,316;
total, $98,930.
According to the statistics of the Bureau
Veritas of Hamburg, 113 ships, of which 77
were sailing vessels and 36 steamers with 26,
904 and 37,336 registered tons, respectively,
were lost during the heavy storms of April,
1905. In addition to these. 376 ships suffered
damages.
Lost in BreaKers.
The wreck of the Sevona, off Sand Island
Shoal, may result in a number of changes and
improvements in the Government service
among the islands. It has developed the fact
that had the lightkeeper at Sand Island had
proper appliances or even a fairly decent boat
he could have saved the lives of Captain Mac-
donald and his six men. who were lost.
Mr. Lewich, the keeper of the light, saw the'
Sevona go on the reef, heard her whistle of
distress and says that with the help of one
good man and a good boat, such as the Gov-
ernment ought to provide, he could have put
out to the wreck and taken off those seven
men. He had no such boat and therefore was
absolutely powerless. Others on Sand Island
saw the wreck but were powerless for the same
reason.
Mr. Lewich says those men were not
drowned at the wreck anyway. They had
built a life raft and had undoubtedly come
clear to shore and were killed by the breakers,
instead of being drowned. He claims to have
seen them on a raft after they had left the
big boat. Mr. Shaw, also of Sand Island, saw
tin' wreck, and as soon as he dared, with his
small boat, he put out to it and was, as a mat-
ter of fact, on the wreck before the tug liar
row got there.
The Government should by all means place
gi o;| boats and other life-saving apparatus in
the hands of these lightkeepers if nothing
more is done.
Another thing, if these lighthouses were
equipped with telephones, they could have
gotten help from Bayfield in plenty of time.
This telephone business, at first blush looks
impossible, but it is not at all so. Sand Isl-
and, for instance, is only about two miles from
the mainland. A cable could easily be laid
across this space and it would be cheaper to
maintain and build than a life-saving station.
There is a telephone line now constructed al-
most to the bay shore, off Sand Island, and a
Government phone could easily be connected
with this line. Had there been such a line as
this before the Sevona accident, no lives would
have been lost. These suggestions are worth
considering at least: they are all made by
practical men.
Missing Men Alive.
Several persons who were reported as be-
ing drowned when the steamer Iosco and her
consort, the Olive Jeanette, foundered, have
turned up alive, having left the boat before
the disaster occurred.
Among those who were reported as being
lost were Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Barnes, first
and second cook of the Iosco, and J. M. Quinn,
engineer of the Jeanette, but a dispatch from
Cleveland says that Mr. and Mrs. Barnes left
the boat before she sailed on her fateful trip.
James Kinney, of Milwaukee, was a seaman
on the Jeanette, but left her on her last trip
to Lake Erie. He said that Quinn. who was
reported as being drowned, is alive and well,
as both Quinn and himself left the boat at the
same time. Still another to turn up alive is
• lesse Waller, who was mate of the Jeanette,
and who was reported as being drowned. It
now develops that Walter quit the vessel at
Duluth before she sailed on her last trip. With
-*

all these people alive it means that those who
succeeded them on the lost boats have not been
identified. Kinny ^aid Quinn and himself
left the Jeanette because her pumps were not
working in good shape and that she was being
overloaded.
Jesse Walter, who was mate on the barge
Olive Jeanette and whose name appeared on
the list of lost after the foundering of that
boat on Lake Superior, has been heard from.
A letter received from him was mailed at
Duluth and states that he left the Jeanette
before she departed from the head of the
Lakes on her fatal voyage.
Marooned in Pilot House.
The experience of the master and men of the
Sevona has aroused the navigators on Lake
vessels to a change in the location of lifeboats
aboard freight steamers. At present all life-
boats on Lake steamers are swung aft around
the cabins. In the case of the Sevona, which
broke in two immediately after striking, the
captain and officers, who were in the pilot
house, were simply marooned. There was no
way for them to get to the lifeboats and all
they could do was to construct a flimsy raft,
which was quickly broken up. It is claimed
that at least one lifeboat should be placed
near the pilot house. With ships from 400 to
600 feet long it would be a great safeguard,
it is said, to have a lifeboat forward for
speedy launching in case of a man overboard.
Marine Notes.
The steamer Johm Stanton, which was or-
dered by Captain Charles L. Hutchinson, of
Cleveland, for 1906 delivery, was launched
at the Lorain yards of the American Ship-
building Company on September 16.
The schooner Minnie Slauson, reported
missing, has been located by the master of the
schooner Lyman Davis, who sighted the Slau-
son putting into Sturgeon Bay. Her main-
mast had been carried away, but she is sup-
posed to be safe.
With a red table cloth as a flag of distress
the schooner Wonder was picked up off Ken-
osho on September 14, by the life-saving crew.
Captain J. Walton and Mate W. M. Burns of
Chicago were nearly exhausted from their
fight to keep their boat afloat in the heavy
seas.
Captain Frank Meno, of St. Clair, formerly
mate of the steamer George Peavey, has be-
come master of the steamer John Sharpless,
of the Montreal line, succeeding Captain John
V. Johns. Captain Meno is but twenty-eight
years of age, and is probably the youngest
steamboat master on the Lakes.
With the discovery of two additional bodies,
the remains of fifteen persons who perished in
the wreck of the steamer Iosco and her con-
sort, the schooner Olive Jeanette, have now
been recovered. Of these eight have beeu
picked up along the beach in the vicinity of
the Huron Mountain club and the others in
the neighborhood of L'Anse.
Fred Owelett, of Pelee Island, a seaman,
was arrested at Sandusky on September 15,
after being sought by officers for a year. He
was taken to Port Clinton to answer charges
of stealing a yacht belonging to Attorney R.
H. Crawford, of Port Clinton, valued at sev-
eral hundred dollars. Owelett, it is charged,
disposed of the boat in Detroit and is wanted
there also on suspicion of stealing another
yacht.
It is now stated as probable that the work
to be done on the dock of the Northern Coal
and Dock Company, at Duluth, this year will
be nothing more than the dredging and filling
of the site, no attempt being made to put up
any of the superstructure or the machinery
until next year. Up to this time no contract
has been let for the machinery, and in view
of the facts just stated it is possible that
action may be deferred for some time yet.
Since the opening of navigation this year
eleven vessels in the ore trade have been
lost through storms and collisions. These ves-
sels are the Sevona, of 4,500 gross tons; the
Pretoria, of 5,100; the Olive Jeanette, of 2,-
443; Iosco, of 3,000; Thomas W. Palmer, of
3.100; Yakima, of 3,000; Linden, of 1,450;
Ceorge Presley, of 2,800; and the John M.
Hutchinson, of 1,900; a total of 36,543 gross
tons. In a full season of twenty weeks these
vessels would have a carrying capacity of
730,860 gross tons, so that figure is to be re-
garded as the season's subtraction so far
from- the available ore carrying fleet.

(Continued from page 3.)
Cost of Living'.
You are working shorter hours, you arc getting
slightly more pay; you are paying more for your
necessaries of life, and in a general way you arc a
trifle behind your condition of a year ago. You are
not very much behind, but still you arc behind, and the
general upward tendency of the cosi of livi
rapid than the general tendency of wage incr<
This, according to the New 5Tork Herald, is
the conclusion drawn by the United States
Bureau of Labor, after collating the reports
of several thousand experts, who have been
employed in collecting statistics of wages and
food in the United States. That, also, by the
way, is the opinion of worlringmen in general ;
and the cause of the falling behind, to which
the Herald refers, is private monopoly of nat-
ural resources, the storehouse of feature, from
which all of ns must draw sustenance. The
men who own that storehouse are, of course.
in a position legally to charge almost any
price they like for the necessaries of life, but
this phase of the wages and food question is
obviously not in the category of economic
propositions, which newspapers of the New
York Herald stamp are paid to expound. The
general methods adopted by that class of
newspapers for expounding economic truths
is proof positive, in fact, that, with a few
unimportant exceptions, the daily press is
merely a gigantic engine for fooling the peo-
ple all the time. It is. of course, tin exasper-
ating thing to contemplate, bu1 if the major-
ity of the people like to be humbugged all the
time — and robbed of their birthright — there
is nothing for the poor, despised minority to
do but grin and bear it. Nature has accom-
modatingly arranged things in this world so
that the foolish may benefit from the wisdom
of the wise if they so elect, and in return the
wise must suffer for the follies of the fool-
ish, whether they elect to or not.
Look out for squalls in the Chinese Exelu-
sion situation when Secretary Taft gets next
to his boss. After having hobnobbed so long
with representative Chinamen and the mem-
bers of the corps diplomatique of the Celestial
Empire, he would he more than human if he
didn't put in a word for them where it will
do the most good. According to press dis-
patches, he is loaded down to the gunwale
with suggested modifications of the definition
"laborer," and a lot of "exemption" proposi-
tions, to be submitted upon bis arrival home.
Hence the necessity for looking out for
squalls — that is, "Executive orders" to all
whom it may concern to extend the courte-
sies of the season 1o every "Son of Heaven"
who may elect to visit these shores. President
Roosevelt stands so straight on his "square
deal" platform that at times he actually ap-
pears to be leaning backward, and the danger
is that he may some day slop over altogether.
John D. Rockefeller is reported as having
predicted that the most able-bodied panic the
world has ever witnessed is due to pass this
way in 1907 or 1908. Mr. Rockefeller oughl
to know all about such things, if anybody does,
for he is the protagonist and Grand Mogul of
that little cabal of monopolies among us,
which owns all the ingredients from which
panics are manufactured. It is a reasonably
safe prediction, however, that when the crash
does come, Mr. Rockefeller himself wil! make
rather more than an even break with poverty.
Fag Ends.
Every debt is a mortgage upon liberty.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall!
He docs most to conquer fate who is content
to work and wait.
The weakest mind will gather strength from
constant cultivation.
When interest and judgment clash the lat-
ter is seldom victorious.
Enforced ignorance may be condoned; vol-
untary ignorance is to be condemned.
If we can't make others see the truth, we
oughl to blame ourselves, not them.
We live but to improve upon tin- past and
to do each day's work better than the last.
Xo man having virtues to be praised was
ever made better by caviling at his failings.
He lives best who does the best he can and
"dares do all thai may become a man."
Cupidity and ignorance are the twin roots
of all economic and industrial evils.
Politeness springs from mental excellence,
For want of manners is but want of sense.
It is easy to lie cheerful when the tide is in
our favor, easy to be valiant when there is no
danger.
Every man must be judged by his creed
and its collateral tenets. What we believe in
our hearts, that we are.
'Tis well to plan a good excuse, and well to
be prepared for flight; but he who is prepar-
ed to lose will never win a stubborn fight.
Even as a good red herring is superior to
a poor, lean fowl, so a humble master of but
one branch of human knowledge is a better
man than a jack-of-all-learning. The deep-
draught ship will always ride better in
stormy weather than a shallow, flat-bottomed
craft, and sail better at all times.
The old sea chantie, "Paddy Works on the
Railroad," was recalled to mind the other day
by the heading, "Laurier Works on Rail-
road," in the New York Times. There the re-
semblance ended, however, for the "Laurier"
of the headline was Sir Wilfred Laurier, Pre-
mier of Canada, and his "work on the rail-
road" consisted in turning the first sod of the
Grand Trunk Pacific's new transcontinental
railway. Fancy a "packet-rat Paddy" being
d in such solemn tomfoolery!
President Roosevelt may well pray to be
saved from his friends. Not long ago a
West i]-n preacher likened him unto Jesus
Christ, and now comes a Brooklyn pastor
who thinks that his mediation between Russia
and Japan, resulting in the Treaty of Ports-
mouth, "stands for a miracle, far greater,
more superb and more majestic than that of
the Gospel of this day." If Mr. Roosevelt
does not watch out some one will yet canon-
ize him, thus making him unavailable for an-
other term in the White House.

fortifications of Amsterdam as quickly
as possible. The speech also proposed
obligatory insurance against illness, in-
capacity and old age.
The celebration of the anniversary of
Mexican independence at the City of
Mexico on Sept. 17, was unusually bril-
liant and enthusiastic. President Diaz
opened Congress on the same date, and

made in public education, and touched
upon the subjects relating to the notable
increase in mining and agriculture and
the vast amount of labor performed on
port works. President Diaz also men-
tioned the remarkable increase in the
business done by the Postoffice and the
Federal Telegraph departments, and the
excellent showing of the revenues for the
past fiscal year.

Eight-Hours in England.
In 1894, the hours of Labor of about 43.HH')
work people in certain Government factories
and workshops were reduced to an average of
48 per week. Details of the change were
given in issues of the Gazette in that year.
The War Office establishments affected by
the change were the Ordnance Factories, Ord-
nance Store Department, Inspection Depart-
ment, Small Arms Inspection Department and
Royal Army Clothing Department. The re-
duced hours affected 18,641 work people in
1894, whose working time was reduced "»:;i
hour per week on the average. The bulk of
the work people were employed at Woolwich.
A recent communication from the War
Office states that when the 48-hour week was
first adopted it was anticipated that there
would be a saving of time in stopping and re-
starting work at the breakfast hour, work not
beginning till after breakfast under the new
system, and also a saving of light and fuel.
It was also expected that a later hour of
starting work would ensure greater regularity
of attendance, that there would be an im-
provement in the physical condition of the
men and an increase in their power of produc-
tion.
The fact that the reduction in the hours of
work had not reduced the output, or increased
the cost of it, in private factories in which
the experiment had been tried, also led tht
War Office to assume that the cost of produc-
tion would not be increased in their work-
shop.
It is stated that these anticipations have
been justified, and that it is clear that no extra
cost has been incurred by the public on account
of the reduction of hours, nor has the output
of work been diminished. On the other hand,
the majority of workmen being on piecework,
the average weekly earnings per man have not
been sensibly altered, although piecework
prices have not been increased. The day-work-
ers received an increased hourly rate of pay
to make their earnings per week of 48 bonis
equal to those per week of 54 hours. It was
not found necessaiy to increase the number
of day-workers.
The Admiralty establishments affected were
11. M. Dockyards at home, the Royal Naval
Ordnance Depots and H. M. Victualling Yard.
The number of work people involved in the
change of hours in 1894 was 24,263, and the
average reduction of working time was la-
bours per week.
In the case of the dockyards, where the greal
bulk of the workpeople affected were em-
ployed, the number of hours had previously
been 50 1-3 per week. Of the reduction of
2 1-3 hours per week, nearly 1 j L. hours was
effected on the Saturday by making the hours
on that day equivalent to a half-day, instead
of, as formerly, working till 1' p. m. with a
half-hour stoppage for midday meal.
A recent communication from the Admiralty
states that the effect on the output of work
was to some extent minimized by the with-
drawal of certain privileges, viz: Allowances
of 3 minutes to workmen for getting to their
work after bellringing in the morning and
afternoon, and certain half-holidays and time
off previously granted without loss of pay.
These privileges amounted in the aggregate to
a time value of about one hour per week. This
communication further states that it would
not appear that the cost of production at th •
dockyards since the introduction of the 48-
hour system compares unfavorably with that
which previously obtained, but to what ex-
tent the cost has been influenced by the reduc
lion of hours can not be definitely determined.
Among the other factors of which account
would have to be taken in making a compar-
ison between the cost of production before and
after the introduction of the 48-hour week
are improvements in machinery and means of
conveying stores within the dockyards, and
other labor-saving methods, and also increases
of pay in certain trades. No increases how-
ever were made in piecework rates. — British

A "Timely" View.
Commenting upon the attempt of the Penn-
sylvania coal operators to have the anthracite
miners' Certificate law set aside as unconsti-
tutional, the New York Times takes the
ground that that law confers a monopoly
upon the miners and, among other things,
says :
A repetition of the enormous inconveniences and
severe sufferings caused by the last coal strike
might easily lead to an effective insistence on the
establishment of the principle that when a certain
group of men are for good reasons permitted to mon-
opolize a certain kind of work, they shall be forced
to settle their personal quarrels with their employers
in some other way than by refusing to do that work.
This would be an infringement on what is called a
natural liberty, but like many another such infringe-
ment it would only be the paying of a reasonable
price for a special privilege.
The Times, as usual in matters affecting
labor, takes the wrong end of the argument.
The Certificate law does not confer a monop-
oly upon the miners, for the reason that any
man can go into the mines and, by working
two years as a helper, obtain a certificate as
a miner. Again, it seems to be hardly neces-
sary to point out, even to the benighted writ-
ers on the New York Times ' staff, that the last
thing the Pennsylvania Legislature had in
mind when it passed the aforesaid law was to
create a monopoly. Hence, the fact of its be-
ing a monopoly, or not, is entirely outside the
scope of the present controversy, which hinges
upon the purpose for which the law was pass-
ed, to-wit, the safeguarding of life. Such a
law is manifestly of too much importance to
the community to be considered from the self-
ish viewpoint of vested property rights, or to
be made an excuse for curtailing the personal
liberties of men working under its protection.
The difficulties experienced by the authori-
ties in obtaining a sufficient number of non-
union mechanics for the Panama Canal, place
the Government between the horns of a dilem-
ma. If the unions are recognized and the
"Closed Shop" is established on the Isth-
mus, the work will no doubt be proceed-
ed with in good shape, but the Govern-
ment will lose many of those friends who
supply the sinews of war during political
campaigns. On the other hand, if the
"Open Shop" is recognized there will be
but little work done on the Canal, and,
worse still, the Government will alienate
the friendship of those who cast the big-
gest number of votes at election time. A dil-
emma of this sort is almost as disheartening
as a contretemps and a Hobson's choice in one.
If President Roosevelt doesn't cease bother-
ing the trusts pretty soon he may yet earn the
distinction of being referred to in the school-
books of the coming oligarchy as "the prying,
probing, pragmatic president of the dark, dis-
mal, demagogic labor age."
The exigencies of human existence some-
times make it necessary to destroy much that
has been attained, that a little may be gained.
Wars are mostly fought on that basis, and the
French Revolution is the greatest historical
demonstration of its truth.
Ship Subsidies.
Demand the union label on all products.
A merchant marine which practically finds no
place for itself on the great trade routes of the
world, but is confined to sailing voyages in accord-
ance with the subsidy conditions, is not a service that
the American people could afford to maintain. —
Boston Herald.
It is one of the best features of the latest
Ship Subsidy bill that it aims at giving the
owners of sailing vessels an even chance with
the large steamship corporations in securing
Governmental subsidies; but this, of course,
does not suit the corporation hogs, who, some-
how, have come to think that nobody but
themselves has a right to put his feet in the
public trough. Neither does it seem to appeal
to whatever may be the corporation equivalent
for patriotism that the idea of the promoters
of the Ship Subsidy bill in encouraging the
building and operation of sailing vessels is to
provide us once more with a natural ' ' nursery
of the navy." All this, however, is only what
may be expected from our "prominent busi-
ness interests" and their press organs; but,
the esteemed Boston Herald to the contrary
notwithstanding, it may be laid down as an in-
controvertible proposition that if the Ameri-
can people can afford to "maintain" a mer-
chant marine at all it must be one largely con-
sisting of sailing vessels. The large steamship
corporations have privileges enough already
to maintain their own fleets; and they should
be satisfied, one would think, that no discrim-
ination has been made against them in the
matter of subsidies. But, then, who ever
heard of a satisfied corporation where special
privileges were the issue? Which suggests
that those who clamor most for privileges are
not always those who most deserve them.
Mr. C. W. Post has kindly treated his fel-
low-citizens to another "Poster" in the press
of the country. It has all the lack-humor sol-
emnity of his other lucubrations, and is so
palpably, name-blown-in-the-bottle, a product
of the brain that gave us Grape Nuts and
Postum as to preclude all possibility of find-
ing any lofty sentiments in it. Of course, it
contains the regulation assortment of semi-
lugubrious and wholly-fierce denunciation of
organized labor; but, as that is such an oft'-
told tale, weariness would be about the first
sensation experienced by the reader were it
not for -the deliciously grotesque injection here
and there of such stock phrases as ' ' the sacred
mantle of liberty," "protection of the com-
mon people," "save this fair America!" "in-
dustrial peace," "patriotism," etc. Taken as
a whole, however, this latest "Poster" seems
to be lacking in the vindictive "snap" which
characterized his earlier efforts in that line,
and it is much to be feared that Mr. Post has
over-trained himself in acquiring a mastery of
genteel Munchausenism, and, as a result, has
now gone just a little stale.
Scanning the output of some of the Sunday
newspapers, one begins to understand where
Max Nordau got the ideas which prompt-
ed him to write "Degeneration." It takes a
well-poised person to assimilate that sort of
stuff Sunday in and Sunday out the year
'round without getting mental indigestion.
Democracy in the Mess.
Thomas E. Clinch, a master-mariner, writ-
ing to the New York Herald, thinks that the
discipline for which our merchant marine used
to be (in) famous has gone to the demnition
bow wows. He laments the fact that a
"junior officer in gold lace and braid" must
"sit down at the mess-table with quartermas-
ters, oilers, water-tenders, carpenters and
boatswains, the engine-room gang just off duty
and not yet washed." "Boys," he com-
plains, "on their first voyage to sea sing out
to the gold-laced officer to 'pass down the
stew ! ' Is it any wonder that there is no disci-
pline on our ships? The men never think of
saying, 'Yes, sir,' or 'No, sir,' when address-
ing an officer."
Yes, it must be pretty tough on the gold-
laced gorramighties of the bridge to have to
mess with the overalled denizens of the main-
deck and the stokehold. Still, the Stars and
Stripes are the emblems of a great republic
dedicated to democracy, and the American
warship has been legally declared to be a part
of the territory of the United States. Jack
is proverbially as good as his master when he
is ashore, and there does not seem to be any
good reason why he should not be nearly as
good when on board ship. Besides, the ship's
officer who can not maintain discipline without
wrapping himself up in exclusiveness and
putting on haut ton airs is lacking in the first
aid to discipline — the power to inspire respect
in others.
Homer Folks, Secretary of the New York
State Charities Aid Association, recently ad-
dressed the seventh annual session of the
Quaker Hill Conference, at Rawling, N. Y.,
on the subject of child labor and, among
other things, said :
Child labor is not only a cruel injustice to the
children; it is uneconomical, shortsighted and wasteful
for the community. It is mortgaging the future for
the benefit of the present generation. Child labor
is never cheap for the community ; it is an inexcusable
waste of opportunity to create good citizens.
All of which is as true as Gospel, and the
man who doesn't think so will be sure to get
left when the rewards for good citizenship
are handed out at the end of this mortal
journey.
Our political spellbinders and ex-officio
" workingmen's friends," are tuning up their
allocutionary organs for an active fall cam-
paign. It's all to the loose, however, for "in
vain doth the fowler spread his net in sight
of the bird," which in latter-day English
means that we workingmen are "on to the
curves" of our "friends."
P. Jensen, the Mobile agent of the Marine
Firemen's Union, reports that the scabs are
leaving the United Fruit Company's steamers
as fast as they arrive, and are being replaced
with true-blue Union men, as per agreement
with the company.
Almost any fcol can be eloquent when he
has something to say, but it requires an adept
in platitudes to launch into impassioned ora-
tory when he has nothing to say. That's why
our political spellbinders are so well paid.

A report has been received that the whaling bark
Gayhead was in Behring Sea on August 1, with two
right whales and 218 barrels of sperm oil. Whales
are reported at that time to be very scarce. No re-
ports have been received from the Alice Knowles or
the other whalers following in the path of the Gay-
head, but all are expected to make good catches before

Captain Thomas Boyd, of the steam-schooner Gypsy,
has explained the wreck of that vessel on September
27 as due to the display of a red light by a construc-

Two new steamers are under construction in Europe
for the Kosmos line, plying between Hamburg, Lon-
don, Mediterranean ports and the west coast of South
America and San Francisco. They are to be named
Setos and Siis. Two twin-screw passenger and freight
steamers and three fine modern freighters are also to
be built for the Kosmos line. The company is re-
ported to be making money on the long run to San
Francisco, despite the fact that there is a loss in oper-
ating the steamers between the South American points.
The schooner Wing and Wing returned to San
Francisco on September 29 from Cape Mendocino
where, for several weeks past, she has been lying by
the wreck of the Norwegian steamer Tricolor and at-
tempting to save some part of the big collier. Four
winches and two anchors and 210 fathoms of chain
constituted all that the schooner could save from the
wrecked steamer, which has broken into three part".

fur Lndysmith to San Francisco when she ran ashore
some weeks ago with a cargo of coal during a dense
tog.
The French warship Meurthe has returned to Hono-
lulu, T. H., from the New Hebrides, whither she went
on a punitive expedition. Two natives were arrested,
charged with the murder about a year ago of Cap-
tain Richard Pentecost and six members of his native
crew on the recruiting schooner Petrel. Captain Pen-
tecost was bound to a tree, while the natives hurled
spears at him. While still alive they threw him into a
shark-in tested lagoon and he was torn limb from limb.
The party of marines which captured these two mur-
derers was itself attacked by the natives, and one ma-
rine was killed and one wounded. The arresting
party, when attacked, fired on their assailants and
killed four.

Cost of Living in Germany.
In a long, detail report on the cost of living
in Germany, United States Consul Harris,
writing from Chemnitz, says that foods are
comparatively dearer in the Empire than in
the United States. For example, coffees
range in prices from 24 to 48 cents per half
kilo, or 1.1 pounds; tea runs from 48 to 95
cents; sugar, granulated, from 0.078 to 0.0S5
cents; rice and barley from 4 to SU cents;
butter from 32 to 33 cents; oleomargarine,
much of which is manufactured, from 17 to
21 cents ; milk is a trifle less than five cents a
quart; fresh meats sell for about 19 cents a
pound; bacon, 21 cents; ham, 29 cents; tur-
keys, 24 to 28y2 cents per 1.1 pounds; potatoes
from 95 cents to $1.07 per 112 pounds.
It is hardly necessary to say that no very
substantial part of the Empire's working
people pay any such prices, for their wages
do not permit of such. The food of the masses,
made up in large part of fish, herring, cheap
meats, potatoes, and the cheaper forms of
vegetables, are high enough to hinder anything
like luxurious living. Herrings sell for 0.023
cents each; salmon for 48 cents to $1.19 per
1.1 pounds. The foregoing items and figures
have been picked from Mr. Harris's report for
the purpose of pointing out the most sug-
gestive and significant features of the whole.
In regard to meats, Mr. Harris says: The
question of cheap meat for the poorer classes
is beginning to agitate the Empire. As was
to have been expected, the tariff laws enacted
in favor of the landed proprietors have not
produced the desired effect. Germany pro-
duces about 75 per cent of her own food
stuffs. It was claimed that the remaining 25
per cent coidd also be produced by a better
system of intensive farming, if somewhat
facilitated by a tariff which would protect the
home meat and grain markets. Germany's
population is 60,164,000, an increase of 800,-
000 in a year.
In this connection, a leading Chemnitz
paper publishes pages from a Avorkingman 's
daily food expense book. The yearly outlay
for rye bread was $44.88 ; white bread, $20.34 ;
meat, $9.90; sausage, $7.64; bacon, $10.85;
butter, $21.27; eggs, $4.10; milk, $18.84. The
family consisted of father, mother, and several
children (unfortunately, the exact number
and age of the members of the family is not
given).
In this connection Consul Harris calls at-
tention to the fact that the importations of
all kinds of meats from the United States I'd I
off from 47,243 tons in 1898, worth $9,448,600,
to 4,342 tons, worth $889,882, in 1904. This
is due to the severe laws regarding meat in-
spection. Other countries, however, are af-
fected, notably Denmark, Holland, Russia,
and Austria-Hungary.
From the 21st to the 26th of June, 1906,
a large agricultural exposition is to be held at
Berlin, which will also comprise a special di-
vision for preserved-food articles, such as
products of the dairy, dough, potatoes, f raits,
wines and extracts, meats, beer, etc. Money
prizes, diplomas, and medals will be awarded.
In order to test the preserving capacity of
these exhibits they will be sent to the Tropics,
and as the journey will last several months,
parties desiring to enter such exhibits must re-
port by August 31, 1905, to Deutsebe Land
wirtsgesellschaft, Berlin S. W., Uessauer
Strasse 14.

THE FLOAT AND THE CUP.
This week the Journal presents its readers
with a counterfeit presentment (i. e., a cut)
of the float exhibited by the Sailors' Union of
the Pacific in the Labor Day parade at San
Francisco and the loving cup presented to that
organization as the best appearing union in
the parade. The professional eye will note
that the float is a faithful model of a full-
rigged ship, fixed up to beat the band and rid-
ing her cradle "like a thing of life," while
everybody can see that the loving cup is a
beautiful piece of workmanship, well worthy
tin; occasion which it commemorates.
The Sailors' Union is proud of its success in
this connection, the more because of the fine
spirit shown by all the other unions, in ac-
knowledging the merit of the judges' award.
In turn, the Sailors agree with the verdict of
the judges in awarding honorable mention to
the Laundry Workers, Garment Cutters and
Machine Blacksmiths. These organizations
made a splendid showing, one that is the more
commendable because of its favorable com-
parison with that of the veteran Sailors. Pos-
sibly, when the latter are placed under the
handicap to which they would be subject
under some rules of competition, the organi-
zations in the "honorable-mention" class will
be able to win a prize for themselves. In such
event, the winner will receive the congratula-
tions of the Sailors, given as readily and as
warmly as are those extended to the Sailors
on the present occasion.
Of course, the Sailors value the loving cup
on account of its intrinsic value and beauty ;
but they value it even more on account of the
sentiments associated with it. These senti-
inents express more than appears upon the
surface. The sentiment typified by the cup
on behalf of its donor, the Red Front Cloth-
ing Company, is that of respect for organized
labor; the award of the cup to the Sailors'
Union expresses the respect of the judges for
that particular organization. The judges,
being representative citizens, expressed the
sentiment of the community. To gain the es-
teem of the public was one of the original
aims of the men who founded the Union. It
is therefore with no small degree of pride that
the present generation of members acknowl-
edges the concrete testimony of their success
in this worthy ambition. The gift of our
friends will be long preserved for the admira-
tion and inspiration of future generations of
seamen and trade-unionists generally.
TIN-] SOUND FISHERIES.
Ed. Rosenberg, organizer of the Interna-
tional Seamen's Union of America, who for
the past two years has been at work among
the fishermen of Puget Sound, reports that
concerted efforts are being made to nullify
the law passed by the last session of the
Washington Legislature, providing for a
thirty-six-hour closed period every week. Or-
ganizer Rosenberg writes the Journal, stat-
ing the facts of the situation, and inclosing a
copy of his letter to Governor Mead. Both
communications are herewith published, as
follows :
Editor Coast Seamen 's Journal — The fishermen of
Puget Sound are hard at work to compel the salmon
Canners' and trapmon 's combine to obey the laws
passed at the last session of the Washington State
Legislature, for the protection and continuance of
1 1 io salmon industry of Puget Sound, seriously threat'
ened by the short-sighted greed of men and companies
(iwning (raps. These laws were enacted last spring,
after a long and bitter fight. The Fishermen's Pro-
tective Union of the Pacific Coast and Alaska spent
considerable money in literature and general agitation
to acquaint the people of the State with the real
conditions of the Puget Sound fisheries. The enthusi-
astic support of the trade-unionists of the State and
of the public generally, in the shape of widely signed
petitions and resolutions, turned the scale in favor of
the fishermen. Now the trapmen, with the assistance
of the State Fish Commissioner, are trying to set
aside the law, but prospects for a victory to our side
are good.
The press of the State during all this time has
aided us and continues its support. I have had several
interviews with Governor Mead and have received as-
surance of assistance.
The following letter to Governor Mead, fully ex-
planatory of the situation here, was printed in full
in the Seattle Post-Tntclligeneer, of September 17:
In compliance with your request to submit In yon
in writing data relating to the thirty-six-hour weekly
eloaed season by the salmon fish traps on Puget Sound,
I herewith submit to you the following:
The law distinctly provides that during the weekly
closed Beason "the tunnel and front part of the pot
of all fish traps shall be raised to high water mark
to permit salmon and other fish to swim freely and
without hindrance in any direction." The fish trap
owners are not doing this. Some of them are plac-
ing, during the closed season, a piece of webbing in
Front of the tunnel; "thers are dosing the tunnel by
raising it. This practice allows the traps to corral
the fish in the hearts and practically fish during the
closed season. Very few fish, once they are in the
hearts, find their way out, the trap being so construct-
ed as to always lead the fish toward the tunnel. That
is the contention of men who have worked on traps
for yeare and thoroughly understand how they operate.
The weekly dose. I season thus only affects the gill-
ii. tl. is and purse-seiners, for when their gear is in
the water it is fishing.
It was fully shown at the last State Legislature,
which enacted this law, that a thirty-six-hour weekly
eason is absolutely necessary to save the sal-
mon industry of Pugel Sound. The traps catch about
90 per cent, of salmon caught on Puget Sound, the
-lines, t_'ill nets ami set nets the remaining 10 per
cent. Thus it can l.e seen that our salmon industry
iv doomed unless the law can be enforced on the traps.
This law is necessary, is practicable, anil is fair
to all interests involved, except that it could ami
should be improved at the next legislature by changing
l lie time from when to when the thirty -six hours
should run, the gil] miters now, in many places where
they can only fish nights, losing two nights out of the
seven. When the provision that the traps should raise
the tunnel and front pari of the pot to high water
mark was placed in the Megler bill by a member of the
Fisheries Committee of the House at a meeting of that
committee, leading trap owners of Puget Sound and
their attorneys were present and raised no objection.
Otto Schultz and Thomas Wright, of the Oarlyk Pack-
ing Company, both owners of traps, told mo before
this provision was placed in tin tfegler bill that it
certainly could be complied with. N.>u the trapmen
claim that to comply with this provision would en-
danger their traps, and give that as their reason for
the violation of the law. This is subterfuge, pure
and simple, called forth by short-sighted greed that
already has decreased and continues to decrease our
salmon industry and threatens its complete extinction.
Even if by complying with the law the traps during a
heavy gale were in danger, which men fully acquainted
with tlie traps deny, Hie trill-netters ami purse seiners
continually run the danger of loss of nets through
.ml other causes: why, then, should the traps
not risk, if risk there were, some loss to obey the
law enacted for the protection and saving of industry?
I luring the last three mouths T have \isite.l most
of the fishing grounds of Puget Sound, and I am
compelled to state that Fish Commissioner Kershaw
has not only not used the powers of his office to en-
force the thirty-aix-hour closed season law, but has
ruled that the trapmen need not raise the tunnel and
front part of the pot to high water mark to permit fish
to swim into the outer waters of Puget Sound — that
to raise the tunnel is sufficient. » » »
Now, your Excellency, it appears plain to me from
the most careful investigation and consideration of
the facts brought to my knowledge, that Fish Com-
missioner Kershaw is both unwilling and unable to
enforce the thirty-six-hour law on the traps; that if
the law is to be enforced and the aalmon industry of
Puget Sound preserved, the trap men must be given
to understand ihat they must obey the law of the
State as well as the other fishermen; also that no
fish commissioner can pervert the plain meaning of the
law to permit the traps to fish as long as a salmon
is running. You, Governor, can and no doubt will,
•<• the matter is fairly and fully placed before you,
aid the fishermen of Puget Sound to preserve our
salmon fisheries,for your letter of July 27 instructing
the Fish Commissioner to enforce the weekly closing
law and pointing out to him the way it can and ought
to be done, has assured the fishermen that they have
in you a strong and fearless friend. But it is also
known to all fishermen that the Fish Commissioner,
since the receipt of the letter from you, has not
changed his policy of allowing the traps to fish dur-
ing the closed season as long as they pretended to obey
the law by hanging a piece of webbing in front of
the tunnel or closing same. In this connection it is
necessary to state that to permit the closing of the
tunnel only to be called enforcement of the law is to
invite the violation of the law. With the fish gather-
ing in the hearts during the closed season in large
quantities in a heavy run, if the tunnel is lowered
for a brief period, most of the fish as a rule will
rush into the pot ; then the tunnel can be raised again.
This takes only a few seconds. A man is usually
stationed at the tunnel, and a few turns of his hand
would close the tunnel. Under this construction aside
from the fact that the trap is even with the tunnel
closed, it woidd take a deputy on each trap to pre-
vent the violation of the law. If the fish, howeveT, are
not permitted to gather in the hearts, as the law pro-
vides, violation of the law would be difficult and more
readily detected. * • » »
To fully demonstrate the bad faith of the salmon
combine when it states that it desires the preservation
of the salmon industry, and hence had the Earles bill
introduced at the last session of the Legislature,
providing for the closing of sockeye fishing for 1906
and 1908, and for a weekly thirty-six-hour closed sea-
son for other years, I only need to mention that in the
Earles bill no provision as to how the traps should
obey the law was inserted. Had the Earles bill passed,
the "traps lawfully could have fished as they do now,
ami only the purse-seiners and gill-netters, the owners
of floating gear, could have been stopped from fish-
ing. The present practice of the trapmen fully proves
this.
Mr. Kershaw strongly urged the passage of the
Karles bill, and when that bill was defeated, tried to
have the present thirty-six-hour law so amended that
it should apply to the tributaries of Puget Sound, as
il read. His amendment would have made the law-
apply only to the few gill-netters and set-netters in
ill rivers. Comment on that action and his
present practice is certainly unnecessary.
Der Seemann, the organ of the German Sea-
men's Union, reports splendid progress in or-
ganizing work. At tlie end of the first quar-
ter of this year the membership in good stand-
ing was 3,117. At the close of the second
quarter there were 3,667 members in good
standing, an increase of 550 paid-up members
during three months. The treasury of the
Onion was augmented by 3,534 marks during
the same period, the total bank account at the
end of the second quarter being 103,349 marks
($25,837). Der Seemann urges the organized
seafarers of Germany to continue and renew
I heir efforts in the near future, to the end
that all men who make a livelihood on the sea
may unite and hotter their eonditions.
No settlement has been reached between the
Northwestern Brewers' Association and the
United Brewery Workmen. When a settle-
ment is made the fact will be announced by
the latter. In the meantime our readers can
hasten the end of the dispute by refusing to
drink any heer that does not hear the red label
of the United Brewery Workmen.
Every dollar expended on the union label
is worth, in practical results, ten 1i s the
same amount expended on strikes and boy-
cotts.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
EIGHT-HOUR DAY WINS.
The article, "Eight Hours in England,"
reprinted on page 2 of this issue, from the
British Labor Gazette, official publication of
the British Government, is an important con-
firmation of the claim that the eight-hour day
is profitable to the employer as well as to the
employe. The experience of the British War
Office, during a ten-years' trial of the shorter
workday, while important in itself, is admit-
tedly but a repetition of the experience of pri-
vate concerns. Summed up, the experience of
the War Office under the eight -hour day (in-
volving a reduction of nearly six hours per
week, or one hour per day) is that "no extra
cost has been incurred by the public on account
of the reduction of hours, nor has the output
of work been diminished." Piece-work em-
ployes have suffered no reduction in wages,
while day-workers "have received an in-
creased hourly rate of pay to make their earn-
ings per week of forty-eight hours equal to
those per week of fifty-four hours. ' ' This au-
thoritative statement of the case, important as
is its showing, makes no mention of the far
more important results of the shorter work-
day, i. e., the material results to the commu-
nity, in the shape of the increased demand for
and consumption of good things, and the
moral results to the individual worker, in the
shape of enlarged domestic and intellectual
spheres.
Another striking illustration on the same
subject comes to hand in the form of an arti-
cle in the Scientific American, entitled "A
Government-Built Battleship," being an ac-
count of the progress made by the New York
Navy Yard in the building of the United
States battleship Connecticut. The Scientific
American unqualifiedly indorses the action of
Congress in awarding the contract for the
Connecticut to a Government yard, and advo-
cates the continuance of the policy of Govern-
ment shipbuilding. In the course of its inter-
esting remarks, the Scientific American says:
The results thus far achieved have more than fulfilled
expectations. The Connecticut has not only been built
faster, and considerably faster, than any previous
battleships constructed for our navy, but she is to-day
slightly ahead of the sister-ship at the Newport News
(private) yard, and this in spite of the fact that great
enthusiasm prevails at the Southern yard, and there is
an unspoken understanding among the workmen to
push the boat along and have her completed ahead
of the Government-built ship. In the report of Au-
gust 1 of this year, the Connecticut was 0.83 per cent
ahead of the Louisiana. During the month she has
advanced 2.48 per cent toward completion ; so that on
September 1, 86.15 per cent of the work was done.
The indications are now that she will be ready for
her preliminary trials in the spring of next year, and
ready for her final sea trial two or three months later.
It should be understood that the "great en-
thusiasm" which prevails at the private con-
tractors' yard is merely another term for
sweating the men in order to discredit the
work of the Navy Yard. Whichever of these
vessels be first at the end of the race, it is a
moral certainty that the Connecticut will
prove the better piece of workmanship. As
the Scientific American says, the Navy De-
partment, by its work on the Connecticut,
"has buried once and forever the old popular
fiction that the construction of warships in a
Government yard is necessarily slow and ex-
pensive, and the work indifferently done."
These evidences of success under the eight-
hour system, afforded by the two leading Gov-
ernments of the world, make the efforts of
those employers (the National Typothetae,
for instance) who would adhere to the longer
workday look more ridiculous than the efforts
of Mrs. Partington to sweep back the Atlan-
tic. In the former, as in the latter case, the
contest is unequal. The laws of Nature are
bound to prevail. Again we say, the eight-
hour day has come to stay !
THE ALAMEDA WRECK.
The unfortunate wreck of the Oceanic liner
Alameda, almost in the Golden Gate, will be
regretted by every seaman who has admired
that vessel on account of her graceful lines
and fine seagoing qualities. The proverbial
good luck of the twin sisters, Alameda and
Mariposa, seems not to have altogether de-
serted the former in her mishap, since all on
board were landed without wetting a foot or
even turning a hair. A feature of the wreck
that has elicited general comment was the con-
duct of the crew, which was fully up to the
best ideals of seamanship. There was no ex-
citement, no rush for the boats. Every man
Jack kept his head and used it to good pur-
pose. Of course, the Alameda's crew were all
union men, from master down to deck-boy.
The fact that the weather was comparatively
fine at the time of the disaster does not de-
tract from the credit due the crew, when con-
trasted with the conduct of other crews in
similar circumstances and in the same locality.
At the present moment we recall three such
cases, those of the Oceanic, Rio de Janeiro and
Algoa. In the cases of the two first-named
craft many lives were lost; in the latter case
the vessel pulled away from the rocks after a
very close shave. Each of these vessels was
manned by Chinese, and it is a matter of rec-
ord that the loss of life in the cases of the
Oceanic (or rather City of Chester, which ves-
sel was sunk by the Oceanic) and Rio de Ja-
neiro, and the narrow escape of the Algoa,
were due very largely to panic among the
Chinese seamen (?). This fact has been de-
cided beyond debate by the United States Su-
preme Court, in its decision in the Rio case,
that tribunal having ruled, for the first time
in its history, against the limitation of liabil-
ity on the part of the shipowner, on the
ground that the Rio, having been manned by
a Chinese crew unable to understand or obey
the orders of the officers, the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company must make good the
losses suffered as a consequence of the wreck.
The contrast between these cases reinforces
the old truth that while Chinese and other
forms of cheap labor may do well enough in
fine weather, in an emergency white seamen
are needed, and needed badly.
Demand the label of the United Garment
Workers (see fac-simile on pages 11, 12, 14
and 16) when purchasing oilskins, shirts, un-
derwear, ready-made suits, etc. ! The label
stands for white, union labor, as against Chi-
nese and sweatshop products.
Those who are disposed to criticise Carne-
gie's selection of an epitaph should bear in
mind two mitigating circumstances, to wit, a
very limited choice of friendly, not to say
complimentary, remarks, and a literary judg-
ment that doesn't amount to anything more
than it can afford to pay for.
Demand the union label on all products.

More Big' Boats.
The much and long talked of 600-foot ves-
sel has come and two steamers of that class
will be in ( mission on the Lakes next sea-
son. The first order for a freighter of that
type was ph d recently when H. Coulby,
Presidenl and General Manager of the Pitts-
burg Steamship Company, closed a contract
with the American Shipbuilding Company Eor
two steam
The new boats, which will cost about $900,-
000, will be 600 Eeet over all, 580 feet keel, 58
feet beam and 32 fed deep. They will be
thirty-one feci longer and two feet wider and
one foot deeper than the steamers E. 11. < lary,
William E. Corey, George W. Perkins, and
Henry C. Prick, which are known as the "Big
Four" of the Steel Trust fleet. They are the
largest carriers en the Lakes and hold all the
ore cargo records.
The new boats will be built at South Chi-
cago and work on them will be started as soon
as the repairs that are being made at the ship-
yard are completed. The material for the big
ships will be furnished by the Illinois Steel
Company, which is a branch of the Steel Cor-
:on. About 4,200 tons of steel will be
used in the construction of each of these boats.
Tie 600-footers will carry about 1,300 tons
more than the four big steamers and their cap-
acity on twenty feet of water will be 12,000
tons. Mr. Coulby figures that the new boats
will make twenty-one trips a year and that in
full season they will move pretty close to 600,-
000 tons of ore .
The new boats will have same power as the
"Big Four" steamers. They will have triple
expansion engines with cylinders 24, 39 and
of. inches, with 42-inch stroke. The boilers will
also be of the same size, but the new boats may
have three instead of two boilers. They will
he fitted with Ellis & Eaves draft.
"Our big ships that came out this season,"
said Mr. Coulby. "have done so well and
bandied with so much satisfaction that we de-
cided not to increase the power of the new
steamers. ' '
The construction and general design of the
new boats will be the same as the ''P>isj Four"
steamers, but the 600-footers will be heavier
and stronger in order to care for the addi-
tional length.
The holds of the vessels will be built on
what is known as the straight side hopper up
for a distance of nine feet.
The holds will extend in one continuous
length from the collision bulkhead forward to
the forward boiler room bulkhead aft, with
one .screen bulkhead in the length of the same
extending from the tank to the spar deck. In
'he hoppers there will be no obstructions of
any kind, the sides of the vessel and the deck
of the vessel being carried by arched girder
Construction, which extends from one side of
the vesse] to the other about six feet dei
Hie center and spaced every twelve feet apart
in the center between hatches.
There will hi ial accommodations for
passengers. The cabins will be of steel, with
pilot house, owner's and captain's quarters
located forward under and en top of ihe fore-
castle deck, and the quarters for the balance
of tin crew will be located on the spar deck,
aft of the machinery space. They will he lux-
uriously fitted out in hardwood and the best
of furnishings.
The growth of Lake shipbuilding has
been fostered wonderfully. Up to 1900 the
500-foot vessel was only talked of, but in that
year A. B. Wolvin, of Duluth, ordered four
Is of that class and for a time it was
thought that the limit had been reached. The
four boats were the John W. Gates, James J.
Hill. William Edenborn and the Isaac L. Ell-
wood. They held the records for several years
and in 1904 Mr. Wolvin again set the pace
when he ordered the steamer Augustus B.
Wolvin. which is 560 feet over all and 56 feet
beam.
Last year, Mr. Coulby, who is the Lake rep-
resentative of the United States Steel Corpora-
tion, ordered the "Big Four" steamers which
are 9 feet longer than the Wolvin and the two
600-footers that he closed contracts for recent-
ly will be the largest and most economical
coarse freight vessels afloat.
The length of the Lake freighter has in-
creased 100 feet in five years, and il will be
many years before such a gain is made again
Report on Sevona WrecK.
William Phillips, chief-engineer, and Adam
Fiden. first-assistant engineer, the only sur-
viving licensed officers of the ill-fated steamer
Sevona, which was wrecked during the recent
gale on Lake Superior, have made an official
report of the loss of the boat, and it has reach-
ed the office of Steamboat Inspectors Mona-
ghan and Chalk. The report, which was mailed
IVoni Buffalo, after relating the fact that the
steamer left the port of Superior at 6 :03 p. m.,
September 1, 1905, loaded with iron ore bound
for Cleveland, Ohio, goes on to state that until
one hour past Outer Island all went well. It
was at this stage of the trip that the first
trouble was experienced. Engineer Phillips
continues :
"Owing to the heavy sea the steamer was
turned around and we headed for shelter.
At 5:45 I was in the engine room with the
second-engineer and received a signal for half
speed and answered the same. About ten
minutes later the steamer struck bottom. She
struck on the Sand Island shoal. There was
no further communication between the cap-
tain and me after that. After the steamer
struck the after crew, consisting of fireman,
deckhands and engineers, lowered the life-
boats (two metal boats) ami remained by the
steamer in the boats until about 11:30. We
then left the steamer and landed safely on
shore about 5 o'clock p. m., September 2, 1905.
Si earner is a total loss; value $220,000. Seven
of the crew were drowned. Captain D. S. Mc-
Donald, First-class Pilot Louis Darwine, Sec-
ond-class Pilot George Hamilton, Wheelsmen
Xels Salverson and O. Valette, Watchman Gus
Drews ami another watchman, name un-
known."
It is possible thai the above report will have
to be more in detail, as nothing is said of the
Eorward crew.
The stea r Melbourne, bound from Mon-
treal to Hamilton, with a general cargo, was
burned to the water's edge near Trenton,
Ont, on September 20. The crew had a nar-
row escape. She is a total loss.
Lights for Shoals.
The fine marine charts which have been
posted up in the Ashland Daily Press office
all summer have been closely studied by every
shipmaster that has been at that port, especial-
ly during the recent past. These charts, by the
way, are published by the Government, and
are the finest and most accurate in existence.
"The recent marine disaster on Sand Island
Shoals," said Captain W. C. Jordan of the
Canadian si earner Leafield recently, "empha-
sizes the need of gas buoys on Sand Island
Shoal, York Island Shoal and Bear Island
Shoal. You will see by these Government
charts that these shoals are entirely under
water, and had there been a gas buoy on Sand
Island Shoal, the Sevona would have been
saved together with the crew.
"There should also be a light on the north-
eastern tip of .Michigan Island, for the pres-
ent light is of no use for vessels coming from
the northeast, and most of them come that
way to Ashland.
"Third, there should be a gas buoy in Che-
quamegon Bay to give outgoing vessels their
proper range in going out. The old time ship-
masters will say that there is no need of it,
but a great many of us do not regularly enter
Chequamegon Bay, and a glance at the Gov-
ernment chart and the direction we have to
take, will show there ought to be a gas buoy
there. It is of more importance than the La
Pointe light.
"And lastly, there ought to be a harbor of
refuge in the Apostle Islands probably in the
region of Little Sand Bay, directly south of
Sand Island, with proper lights showing the
way in."
What Captain Jordan says, many other
Lake shipmasters say. It has long been con-
tended that there should be gas buoys on Sand
Island Shoal, Bear Island Shoal and York
Island Shoal, but probably owing to the depth
of water on each shoal, and the difficulty of
keeping the buoy in place, none has ever been
placed there. These slmals are at present un-
marked except on the charts, and as there is
considerable water covering the rocks, many
vessels without cargoes have probably passed
over them, without even discovering their
danger.
Membership Booh Found.
An ordinary seaman's membership book,
containing letters and a Norwegian seaman's
book, belonging to Johan T. Sjostrom, No. 941
P., was recently found in South Chicago.
Owner can have same by applying to Val
Duster, Lake Seamen's Union, Smith Chicago.
General Manager B. W. Parker, of the
While Star line, announces that his company
will spend $15,000 to begin improvements on
Sugar Island, which the line has purchased
as a resort for Toledo excursionists.
The small two-masted schooner Elizabeth,
of Sturgeon Bay, was recently blown on the
sandy beach near Peshtigo. Owing to shallow
water tugs have been unable to get near the
boat to render assistance and she will probably
go to pieces.

Marine Notes.
The steamer Nottingham arrived at Ashta-
bula, 0., recently with the captain and six sur-
viving members of the schooner V. H.
Ketchum.
Duncan McMillan has resigned as agent of
the Goodrich Transportation Company, at
Milwaukee, and has been succeeded by W. P.
0 'Connor.
Arrangements are being made by the White
Star line to have the steamer Arundel run be-
tween Toledo and Detroit this fall, as was the
custom last year.
The schooner V. II. Ketchum, which was
recently destroyed by fire on Lake Superior,
was insured for about $25,000. She was
formerly a steamer. Her machinery was
taken out a few years ago and placed in the
steamer R. "W. England.
The old steamer Badger State, which was
converted last spring from a passenger boat
into a floating poolroom, has been sold by
Hugh R. Havey to Henry N. Loud, the lum-
berman of Ausable, Mich. The old boat will
be used as a lumber carrier.
Notice is given that on September 12, it
was reported that the Maumee straight chan-
nel entrance gas buoy showed a fixed white
light. Its proper characteristic, a fixed white
light of ten seconds' duration, followed by an
eclipse of ten seconds, will be resumed as soon
as practicable.
The crew of the barge Nelson C. Holland
had a run for their lives when the Holland
recently crashed into the center pier of the
wrecked Portage Lake draw-bridge. They
succeeded in getting away from the boat be-
fore she sank in thirty feet of water, but left
all their belongings behind.
The schooner V. H. Ketchum, which was
burned on Lake Superior, was the first ore
vessel to enter Conneaut harbor. On Septem-
ber 21, 1892, she brought in a cargo of 2,271
tons of ore and the harbor was then in such a
condition that it required two tugs to get her
to the only dock. A big crowd was on hand to
see the entrance. The Ketchum was then a
steamer and was in command of the late Cap-
tain William S. Mack.
Fourteen new plates were required to fix up
the steamer Stephenson, of the Steel Trust
fleet, which was rammed by the barge Roeb-
ling recently. The Stephenson was at the
Superior shipbuilding yard for ten days, and
has just left. The steamer D. M. Clemson is
receiving thirteen new plates at the same yard.
A number of her plates were damaged in the
ice last spring, but the owners managed to
keep her in commission. The wooden steamer
City of Naples is at the same plant for a gen-
eral recaulking.
John Morgan, a sailor, has begun suit in the
Federal court at Duluth against the Pittsburg
Steamship Company, demanding damages to
the amount of $2,000 as the result of an al-
leged assault made upon him by John Surney,
first-mate of the steamer Matoa, of the Pitts-
burg line, on which Morgan shipped at Ashta-
bula on September 1. According to Morgan's
story he remained with the boat until she
reached Two Harbors, when he asked leave.
It was then, says Morgan, that he was assault-
ed by Surney. He asserts the mate used an
ax on him and that his injuries were so serious
as to necessitate -a wound on his head being
sewed up by a physician. Morgan further al-
leges that the master of the boat, H. Geroux,
made no attempt at a rescue and did nothing
that would cause Surney to desist.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
Union Items.
Shipping cm tbe Atlantic Const is norma]
for the season. Freights arc rather low, but
charters are fairly plentiful. The outlooh in
the coastwise trade is decidedly more encour-
aging than it was in t lie corresponding month
( I last jrear.
Some weeks ago the managers of the
''American Seamen's Federation," a crimp-
ing concern, with headquarters in New York,
were haled into court by the New York agenl
of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union to show
cause why they should not pay a license as
shipping-agents. They were each put under
$500 bail to appear for trial on September 21,
hut when that date arrived and the clerk of
the court called out their names, neither of
them was on hand to answer. Their bail will
therefore in all likelihood be forfeited.
Mention was made in these columns a few-
weeks ago that at the request of Comrade
Gildermeister, the New York agent of the At-
lantic Coast Seamen's Union, the New York
Central Federated Union had sent a communi-
cation to Commissioner of Licenses Keating,
urging him to enforce the municipal ordi-
nance requiring all shipping-agents to be li-
censed. A reply has since been received from
Mr. Keating, stating that at the present time
only one shipping-agent remains unlicensed.
and that his case is now under advisement
by the License Bureau.
II. 1'. Griffin, General Secretary of the Ma-
rine Cooks' and Stewards' Association of the
Atlantic Coast, reports good progress. Every
steamship line in New York, excepting the
Ward line, has been unionized, and fifty men
in the stewards' department in the Ward line
have also joined the Association, and it is a
reasonable expectation that before long that
line, too, will be thoroughly organized. The
Baltimore branch of the Association is also re-
ported as doing very well. Mr. Griffin has
been elected a delegate to represent the Asso-
ciation at the coming convention of the In-
ternational - Union of America.
After months id' more or less sueeessful
bucking againsl the Marine Firemen's Union,
the United Fruil Company, of Boston, has at
last yielded to that organization, and its
steamers are now carrying none but union
firemen, coalpassers and oilers at prevailing
union wages. The success of the Marine Fire-
men in this instance lias been attained very
largely through the good work of Comrade
Maloney. the Boston agent of the organiza-
tion, supplemented by the loyalty of a num-
ber of the older members. The fight against
the United Fruit Company would have been
won long ago. had it not been for the treacl
ery of many members who. when the Union
was lockcd-OUt by the company, violated their
pledge to the Union and went over to the
enemy. These men are now reaping the re-
ward of their treachery by being locked-oul by
both parties to the controversy. It is the old,
old story of labor and capital warfare enacted
once more. When pence has been established,
and the indemnity question settled satisfac-
torily, the scab is thrown on the scrap-heap of
an unsympathetic world, like the worthless
trash he is.
Fag Ends.
Whom the trusts love they chasten with fat
jobs.
Enthusiasm and sincerity are a hard team
to beat
There are none so diffident as those who
know the most.
Enlightened men will freely follow where
fools can not be led.
No victory is so well worth lighting for as
the victory over self.
Friendship which musl he bought is never
worth the price it costs.
Time is the nursery of our hopes and the
graveyard of our ambitions.
Wisdom is the natural ally of virtue: igno-
rance is the natural ally of vice.
It's a foolish fly that accepts an invitation
to walk into the spider's parlor.
The difficulty of attaining perfection is besl
realized by those who have come nearest to it.
Wealth in books and poverty in fact are the
two most distinctive features of our civiliza-
tion.
Trust editors are Janus diplomats forsooth,
bold flatterers of falsehood and meek friends
of truth.
Much of what passes for "originality"
nowadays is often merely the indigestion of a
turgid imagination.
Any scratcher on the surface of life can
find its evils, but it lakes a philosophic mind
to bear up under them.
There is one thing which can truthfully be
said in favor of the average daily newspaper:
What it lacks in quality >< makes up in quan-
tity.
Between the taciturnity of the wise and the
Loquacity of the foolish, the avi in has
a pretty hard time finding out what's what in
this world.
Man's knowledge, as compared to his ig-
norance, is as a tiny rivulet compared to the
mighty sea. lie usually does not even know
that much.
The man who has learned to bear with a
small present evil, that a greater good may be
obtained by and by, has found the real path of
progress.
The difference between a "speech" and a.
"plain talk" is generally merely the differ-
ei between rhetorical flourish's and com-
mon sense statements.
The difference between a useful and a harm-
ful education is merely the difference between
the knowledge that makes men intelligently
discontented with preventable evils and re-
signed to incurable evils, and the knowledge
that makes men unreasonably discontented
with all things.

A re-inspection of all steamers in the
United States was ordered on September
26 by the Department of Commerce and
Labor.
Miss Fanny Kagan, a steerage passen-
ger on the White Star liner Cretic, has
sued that company for $10,000 damages
for indignities forced upon her by mem-
bers of the vessel 's crew.
James W. Boyd, a clerk in the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service,
at Washington, D. C, was recently ar
rested, charged with embezzlement. He
admits having abstracted at least $20,
000 in the last three years.
The Hamburg-American Steamship
Company's first turbine steamer, the
Kaiser, made a successful trial trip at
Hamburg on September 26, reaching
twenty-seven miles an hour, or a mile
above the contract stipulation.
The State Department has been in-
formed that Prince Louis of Battenborg
will be in Washington, D. C, on Novem-
ber 2. The report from Halifax that
the visit of the British squadron to the
United States has been abandoned is
erroneous.
Hugh Blaik, a large shipowner and a
pioneer in the shipping business between
Leith and American ports, died at the
former place on September 26. Mr.
Blaik had been blind for twenty years,
but he continued to personally direct his
extensive interests..
The largest cargo of grain ever
shipped out of Chicago was cleared on
September 29, on the steamer George
H. Russell. It consisted of 235,000
bushels of corn and 58,000 bushels of
barley, aggregating 5572 tons. The
cargo went to Buffalo.
A spar about four feet above water,
attached to wreckage, was passed by the
British schooner Nicanor, which recently
arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., from Slier-
brook, N. S. The spar was passed on
September 14, twenty miles southeast of
Fire Island Lightship.
Orders for 100,000 tons of shipping
have been placed with Clyde (Scotland)
shipbuilders during the past month,
while 44,000 tons of new ships were
launched during the same period. This
boom is due to the expectation of a great
increase in the Far Eastern trade now
that the war is over.
Among the vessels driven ashore at
.Manila, P. I., during the recent typhoon
were the American ship Erskine M.
Phelps, Captain Graham, which arrived
on September 8 from Philadelphia; tin-
American ship Heela, Captain Nelson,
which arrived on August 30 from Port-
land, Or., and the Chilean bark Alta,
' aptain Thonegal.
The monster ore carrier, John Stan-
ton, was launched September 17, from
the yards of the American Shipbuilding
Company in Lorain. The boat is owned
by Captain C. L. Hutchinson, of Cleve-
land, 0.,'and is a 9000-ton vessel, 524 feet
in length and 54 feet beam. She will go
into commission in about thirty days.
Inquiries made in British shipping
circles have failed to confirm the story
sent out from Liverpool recently in re-
gard to the Anglo-Japanese shipping
combine. Both Sir Alfred Jones and R.
1). Holt disavow all knowledge of the re-
port, as does also the Nippon Ynsen
Kaisha, the Japanese national steamship
line.
The schooner Kate B. Ogden arrived
at Philadelphia, Pa., from Wilmington,
N. C, reports passing a bell buoy on
Brown Shoal out of order. The bui
!iad turned over. A vessel's mast, bee!
up, extending about eight feet above
water, was passed by the schooner, E.
Starr Jones, also arrived from Windsor,
N. S. The mast was passed on Septem
ber 10, four miles southeast of Naset
Light. It was attached to a submerged
wreckage.

AUSTRALIAN LABOR PRESS.
A Great Power in the Commonwealth.
Tom Lauder, of Melbourne, Gives His Experience.
THERE is probably no country in the world with
such a variety of labor newspapers as Australia.
When one takes into consideration tbe small-
ness of that island continent <s population, it might
further be stated that it has, proportionately, the
largest newspaper-reading public in the world, and the
most critical. Every bush hamlet of a few thousand
inhabitants luxuriates in its local organ; every
shearer 's hut or miner 's camp is lost without its
weekly sheet. And so, out of the fact that even the
man away "out back" — away on the dreary, sun-
scorched plains — is interested in getting news of his
fellowmen, has arisen what is now widely known
throughout Australia as the Labor Press.
This press had very humble beginnings. Fifteen
year3 ago it was but the "baseless fabric of an
empty dream." But the "baseless fabric" very
speedily assumed concrete shape, until to-day labor
papers exercise as much power in the Government of
Australia as any of the most unscrupulous capitalistic
dailies.
It was about the period of the Shearers' strike in
Queensland — the year 1893 — that the Brisbane Work-
er, then under the control of William Lane, came into
prominence. It had already been running, but its
mission as a really live force may be put down at or
about the period named. Lane, its first editor, achiev-
ed some small notoriety as the founder of New Aus-
tralia, a communistic experiment in Paraguay, des-
tined to collapse and shatter the many ideals of its
undoubtedly honest and self-sacrificing founder.
Under Lane's editorship, the Worker gradually forg-
ed its way ahead. Lane was a brilliant worker, al-
though somewhat visionary. Still, the little weekly,
under his care, speedily became known all over a ter-
ritory as large as France, Germany, Holland, Bel-
gium and the British Isles combined. Hence grew
into power a strongly organized union sentiment, and
a host of speakers and writers, fully prepared to
crystallize that sentiment into a permanent legislative
factor.
The influence exercised by the Brisbane Worker
would probably be thwarted were it not for the solid
and subsidized support it receives from the Queens-
land bush workers. These toilers, rough and un-
couth as many of them may be, form the vanguard of
all that is truest and best in Australian laborism. To
these men, therefore, the Worker of Queensland owe3
practically its existence during the years that have
gone, and it will continue to claim their protection
during the years that are to come. To these men the
Worker is more than the Bible itself — it is their
Bible! To one, like the writer, who knows some-
thing about Queensland, such a paper as the Worker
and the men who support it, form the beacon toward
which organized labor is marching, steadfast in the
hope of securing better industrial and social condi-
tions for the masses.
Next to the Worker, Queensland can boast of some
ten or twelve labor, or semi-labor, weeklies. Probably
the most important is, or was, the Charters Towers
New Eagle. Charters Towers is a strong labor center
in Northern Queensland. It is situated some five
hundred miles above the Tropic of Capricorn, and is
noted for its gold, saloons and thirst. It is a veri-
table treasure-house for the enterprising saloonkeeper.
What Brisbane is to Southern Queensland, so is Char-
ters Towere to Northern Queensland. And its labor
weekly takes proportionate rank.
Midway between Northern and Southern Queens-
land lies Central Queensland, the leading city of which
is Rockhampton. For a very long period Rockhamp-
ton supported the People 's Newspaper, a labor week-
ly, which exercised no small influence over that part
of the State. Eventually a big and prolonged drought
struck the central district, and among other ravages
tore away the financial supports that bad hitherto kept
the labor organ in fairly sound condition. Not very
long after its collapse, however, another labor weekly,
the Critic by name, appeared — Northern, Central and
Southern Queensland still being represented in labor
journalism. Thus, the labor press in Queensland
stands in a very promising position. Its future is
bound up with the prosperity of the State, and also
with the amount of enterprise its supporters put into
it. Queensland is a rich State, offering almost illim-
itable opportunities for enterprise and initiative,
and nowhere can these leading qualities be better
exercised than in the expansion of the Australian
labor press in that State of the Commonwealth.
Queensland practically inaugurated the Australian
labor press. Now it has an opportunity to carry it
further and further toward its goal.
About seven and one-half years ago a number of men
interested in advanced economic ideals foregathered in
Melbourne. At that time it seemed almost an im-
possibility to establish a worker 's paper in Victoria,
various previous attempts having proved unmistakable
failures. However, a further attempt was made, and
out of that attempt the Tocsin was established — a
papCT which at varying periods has shown promise of
better results than ordinarily have fallen to the lot of
newspapers. There are reasons, however, why the
optimistic desires of some of its promoters have
tailed to materialize. Those reasons I shall show
immediately.
Among the founders of the Tocsin were two dif-
ferent types of character — men with a conscience ami
men without a conscience. In other words, there
were men who considered it practicable to put into
effect the most advanced ideas — those who might be
termed socialistic dreamers — and there were men who
only saw in the establishment of a people 's weekly
the gratification of their own selfish ends and their
political advancement. Needless to say, in course of
time the latter element triumphed, and the Tocsin,
instead of fulfilling its founders ' ideas — that of a
genuine Victorian Labor-Socialist newspaper — eventu-
ally became a mere advertising sheet for a few
political adventurers. That is how matters stood when
the writer quit the editorial chair, eighteen months
ago.
I first became connected with the Tocsin in the year
1900. At that time the paper was very poorly printed ;
contained but little news of any paramount interest
to the worker, or any one else ; had a miserably small
circulation, and generally consisted of eight pages,
demy folio, interspersed with cheap advertisements,
such as ' ' Mother Seigel 's Curative Syrup, ' ' and ' ' Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People."
To this little sheet I contributed twenty-six articles
dealing with my experience in South Africa. These
articles won eulogistic references from no less a liter-
ary authority than Professor Rentvul, of the Mel-
bourne University. In addition they assisted mater-
ially in increasing the circulation of the paper, at that
period struggling along with a bare weekly output of
about 1700 copies.
During this period the Tocsin was under the liter-
ary guidance of a philosophic anarchist — one, never-
theless, of the gentlest men who ever put pen to paper.
Under the auspices of that writer the paper was noted
for long disquisitions rather than for short, pithy
paragraphic matter. The result was that, however
good the long articles were, the workers were not in-
clined to bite, and the circulation remained stationary.
Eventually the poor fellow who then held the helm
became very ill, and after twelve months of protracted
■.-suffering died in a public hospital.
For some considerable time previous to his death
I had been appointed to the editorial post. That po-
sition I held for nearly two years, and while holding
it the circulation of the Tocsin went up as high as
10,000. This, of course, was a somewhat abnormal
jump from 1700; but, at all events, I managed to get.
a standing circulation of 5000. In addition the paper
was considerably improved, both in typographical ap-
pearance and in style of literary get up.
However, I found the grafting clement which had,
as elsewhere stated, wiped out all opposition, so se-
curely entrenched that it was well nigh impossible to
do anything with the paper. I saw clearly that its
usefulness as a labor weekly was over, ami that the
only chance for the workers of Victoria lay in the es-
tablishment of another and thoroughly representative
weekly. In a big city like Melbourne, and in such a
strongly radical State as my native Slate of Victoria,
there is ample room for a. genuine people's weekly.
It is my intention — all being well— to make the at-
tempt at no distant period, if not in Victoria, well,
in some other State or colony of Australasia. How
ever, one tiling is certain, the labor press in Victoria
is only such in name now. The advent of the grafter
has completely demolished it as a potent factor in in-
dustrial affairs. In time, perhaps, the Victorian
worker will begin to understand the situation. That
time, it is to be hoped, is not far distant.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Australian Notes.
(For the Coast Seamen's Journal.)
Old Times on the Coast.
I suppose you have seen an account of the
great Land frauds here. As we do not re-
ceive very reliable reports through the press,
we will hare to wait for a true account of the
Commission now sitting.
The Wharf Lumpers have (heir case before
the Arbitration Court just at present. It has
lasted now three weeks and is likely to con-
tinue one week more. The barrister who is
conducting the case is \Y. M. Hughes, one of
our Labor party. He is one of the crowd who
has risen from the ranks, and has been the
means of organizing the Longshoremen's
Onion, the Trolly and Carters' Union, and
has done good work in the labor movement in
general.
The employers have banded toe-ether to de-
feat the Trade-Union Label, in the Federal
Parliament, and the strongest argument that
is being used against it is the articles in the
Coast Seamen 's Journal. Naturally enough,
they show how you have your fair ami unfair
list printed.
This season is supposed to 1"' one of the
best that Australia has had for a considerable
time, especially in the wool and wheat lines.
The building trades are brisk; also a very con-
siderable number of buildings are being torn
down and more substantial ones are being
erected. There is a very strong agitation be-
ing carried on here in connection with the
construction of locomotives in this country, as
we contend that they can be manufactured
here equally as well as in America: but the
bone of contention is that they should be
made by the Government in its workshops at
Eveleigh, and a great many people say that
every shop that is run as a private concern
should have the opportunity of sending in
tenders for their construction. As the Gov-
ernment debars a person over forty years old
from obtaining permanent employment, you
see that the people are very much divided in
their opinions.
Our Eight-Hour Demonstration Day falls
on October 2, and we are making greal
preparations, as tins is our Jubilee
year. The Attorney-General has stopped the
selling of our "Art Union" tickets on the
streets, but we have made arrangements to
give a good discount to shopkeepers as an in-
centive. The first prize is valued at £500 and
the second at £100, and there are about 100
other smaller prizes.
Shipping is fairly brisk here at present, as
far as our Union is concerned. As far as the
Longshoremen '8 Union is concerned, things
are rather dull this month, but the season
commences next week, so that there is a bright
outlook.
The unemployed problem is still very much
discussed here. As you are aware, our cities
are very far apart and are not as getatable
as yours, and as all out of work flock to the
cities, we always have a good-sized crowd
here. The Government has now taken the
matter up and established relief works, but
the pittance paid is so small that very few
trouble them. Of course, about eighty per
cent of the unemployed are not trade-union-
ists. Ed. A. Kelly.

The Province of Milan is one < f the impor-
tant centres of Italy. It contains 300 silk
mills, giving employment to 40,000 workmen;
200 cotton mills, with 25.000 workmen, and
twenty woolen mills, with 3.000 workmen.
Thirty-one years ago the writer severed his
connection with the United States Navy, hav-
ing, at that time, completed a term of sixteen
and one-half years continuous service as boy
and man. Ignorant of the conditions exist-
ing on the Pacific Coast, I foolishly imagin-
ed that I would be able to earn and save
more money in the merchant service than I
possibly eoidd in the Navy. The illusion was
quickly dispelled.
Walking the water-front day after day, so-
liciting a chance to ship from every skipper
and mate along the beach. I saw my "reserve
fund" slowly disappearing. Requests for em-
ployment usually met with the question:
'Who are you boarding with?" After meet-
ing with much discouragement I finally
scraped acquaintance with an old sailor who
kept a little place on Mission street, right op-
posite where the Sailors' Hall now stands.
This man was known as "Uncle Sam," a name
well known to the seafaring fraternity many
years ago. I was put wise, and with a letter of
introduction in my pocket I laid a course for
the "New York and Brooklyn Exchange, "
kept by Pete McMahon, as honest an old chap
as ever ran a boarding house. Having a little
money to spend on "red eye," I was made wel-
come, and shown to my boudoir, which I oc-
cupied in company with nine other "sons of
the sea" and innumerable little animals called
bed bugs. Here I stayed, enjoying all the
comforts of an "ill-spent life," until the size
of my "slate" compelled Pete to find a ship.
So one fine morning, the bar-keep said : "Well,
Shamus, a foine ship I have for ye." "Yes!
and where is she going?" "To Liverpool, my
lad." "Not on yer life. I'm going to ship in
the Navy again." The result was that next
day found "Shamus" engaged on the bark
Oakland, bound for the Sound, wages fixed at
the magnificent sum of twenty dollars a month.
Here I found a forecastle large enough to
accommodate about a dozen chickens, lined with
bunks for ten men. After a little good-natured
growling among ourselves and curses loud and
deep on ships and owners in general, duds
were stowed away and work commenced. We
had a quick but stormy passage to Cape Flat-
tery, and then the fun commenced, beating up
the Straits to Port Townsend. Thirteen solid
days and nights; wet, cold, and hungry; never
a drop of hot coffee or sufficient chuck at sup-
per time to enable us to save a bite for the
middle watch. Braces and pumps, pumps and
braces. Oh, ye steam-schooner mules, what
a snap you have got!
Well, we finally made Port Townsend and
were wind-bound for a couple of days. Up
anchor and off for Port Madison ; made Ap-
ple Tree Cove and dropped anchor for the
night. Next day made Madison, but had to
kedge about a mile and a half from anchorage
to wharf. No steamers for towing ships then
— no lumber ready. Stripped to a gantling
and re-fitted. Weather bad; frost, snow and
rain. No oilskins. Twenty dollars for a pair
of blankets in the store; no stove in the fore-
castle, and sudden death to go near the galley.
Oh, the good old times! Grub stopped one
Sunday because we would not shovel snow off
deckload and clean brass on the poop. Begged
l<r charity at the County Jail, kept by one
of nature's old-time gentlemen, Sheriff Wil-
liams of Kilsap County. Got two good square
meals, and my mouth is watering now at the
thoughts of them. Finished loading. Sailed;
arrived safely in 'Frisco. Six inches less
around the waist and two inches long-
er in the arms! Went to office for
our pay and got — what? A due bill
payable in thirty days. Paid "boarding-mast-
er" ten per cent for cashing it. After deduct-
ing the amount of his bill— among the items
of which we found five dollars charged for
"the chance," one dollar for taking our
things on board, one dollar for bringing them
(in shore again — we were given what was left,
and damned little of it there was. Hurrah
for "Bottle Meiers!" "Play mit der fiddle
up, to hell mit der oilskins!" In forty-
eight hours we were ready for sea
again.
Such was the Coast in the "good
old days." Do we wish for their
return? God forbid! The hardships and
petty meannesses that were endured by
Jack in those days are almost incredible.
Ships went to sea in the winter with barely
enough provisions and water to reach the port
of destination under the most favorable cir-
cumstances. Fourteen, and often sixteen
hours constituted a day's work. Ill fed. ill
clothed and ill treated, it is no wonder the
Sailors' Union developed a holy hatred of the
vicious system that permitted such abuses.
The Sailors' Union has bestowed upon its
members the greatest good that any man can
possibly possess — Manhood !

Toy Trade of Germany.
The value of toys exported from Germany
last year was about $13,500,000, of which the
United States, as the principal customer, took
nearly $4,000,000. Sonneberg is the chief
center of this industry. The (handier of
Commerce of that city, in its last annual re-
port, has this to say of the toy industry :
Great Britain has been the principal re-
cipient of the goods exported from that Son
neberg) district, but to all appearances it will
ere long have to surrender first place to the
United States. The powerful transatlantic
commonwealth, favored by a rich and increas-
ing population, has been enabled to retain its
importing capacity in spite of the protective
character of its Customs tariff. The messagi
<0' the President was all the more disappoint-
ing to us, as the hoped-for reform of the tariff
and the expected reciprocity treaty was net
mentioned therein. This is a consummation
devoutly to be wished, and must be worked
for by Germany — of course with prudence.
so as not to imperil our trade relations with
the United States. The constant care and
cultivation of these is a life matter for im-
portant branches of German industries, and
will continue to remain so as long as our
products find difficulty in entering the markets
of Europe.
Next to the toy industry in Sonneberg is
the manufacture of china ware, consisting
chiefly of dinner and tea sets, statuary, paint-
ed plates and medallions, articles used for
electrical apparatus, stoppers for bottles.
marbles for children, and doll heads. The ex-
ports of this class of merchandise last year
aggregated 32,406 metric tons, valued at
nearly $13,000,000, of which 56 per cent came
to the United States. The manufacture of
glassware, especially tubes and bottles for
chemical and medical uses, glass balls, glass
ornaments for Christmas-tree decorations, etc..
is important, as is also the manufacture of
pearls from fish scabs. Km- all these goods
the United States is a large customer. Slates
and slate pencils, masks, and artificial eyes are
likewise considerable items in the manufac
ture and export trade of Sonneberg.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.

On the Atlantic Coast.
(Contributed by the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Unions.)
A Case of Eliotism.
A janitor in a large apartment house in
New York, writing to the New York Evening-
Journal, says that he "has often read that to
succeed in life, as we are told by the big men
of the day, you should work hard, do more
than you are expected to do, and you will be
rewarded." Then he goes on to tell that he
used to have three boy assistants, but as there
is rather less work to do in the summer than
in the winter, he offered early in the
summer to do the work with only two
assistants, which offer was accepted by
the owner. Now that winter is approach-
ing he would like to have the third assistant
again, but the owner tells him to keep it up
with two assistants only, and intimates that he
must have been loafing before, despite the fact
that now he has to work from 6 a. m. until
after midnight.
This is so evidently a case for the considera-
tion of those charged with the dissemination
of the Eliot-Hopkins-Thurber doctrine of
economics that it is respectfully referred to
them. It may be pointed out here, in a general
way, that, as a rule, there is no sentiment in
business. Employing a man for wages is busi-
ness ; rewarding him for doing more than he is
expected, or rather paid to do is sentiment.
Under the circumstances, perhaps, the best
rule for workingmen to follow, is the time-
honored one about returning a fair day's work
for a fair day's pay, and putting it up to the
boss that good wages and reasonable hours of
work are much more acceptable than an oc-
casional "reward." It has long been recog-
nized by all who have made the subject a study
that if men can get justice they will, as a class,
willingly dispense with charity, and the "re-
wards" for being a "sucker" are the meanest
kind of charity.
The recent order of Secretary Metcalf, of
the Department of Commerce and Labor, to
the effect that all steam vessels throughout the
United States which have not been inspected
within the last two or three months must be re-
inspected, contains all the usual emphatic in-
sistence upon attention to the life-saving
apparatus and the execution of fire-drills
by the crews, but not one word about
the efficiency or numbers of the lat-
ter. So far as the Department of Commerce
and Labor is concerned it is evident that as
long as every steamer carries a landsman to
couple and uncouple the hose, he will be ac-
cepted by the Department as an entirely satis-
factory equivalent for "the crew," all hands
and the cook.
The press is just now more or less agitated
over the "epidemic of crime that is sweeping
over the land," etc. With the examples of
corruption, open graft and downright theft
among our "prominent citizens" before the
masses, the wonder is not so much that there
is an "epidemic of crime" in the land as that
there are any honest men left at all. When
the ignorant and illiterate are taught by exam-
ple from those in high places that the posses-
sion of great wealth, no matter how obtained,
is the only thing that commands respect and
deference, what else can be expected from
them but an "epidemic of crime?"
Motor Fishing Boats.
Every once in a while we are brought face
to face with the fact that the world of to-day
is, indeed, wonderful, when its scientific ac-
complishments are compared with those that
excited the youthful wonder of men now only
middle-aged. The Marine Journal, discussing
the merits of motor boats and the steadily in-
creasing use of them, says i
One of the greatest fields for these useful vessels
is among the fisher, oyster, and lobster men all along
the Atlantic Coast, from Maine to Florida, and the
fisherman (excepting offshore fishermen), who has not
a power-propelled boat, is literally out of the race in
his important calling. This class of hardy toilers no
longer wait for a favorable breeze to market the
catch, but when a fair catch is under the hatches,
away they go to the nearest city, town, or resort, and
dispose of it to the best advantage. Fishermen only
need wireless telegraphy now to make their equip-
ment perfect. With that apparatus on board, any en-
terprising gatherer of deep-sea food might ascertain
which market to head for that would be the most
profitable as to price, in consequence of a scarcity of
the special kind of fish he had to dispose of.
It is already in use on the great ocean liners
Yes, wireless telegraphy, as it becomes more
perfected and simplified, is bound to be in-
creasingly employed by all classes of seafarers,
and in the Navy, and its general installment
on all classes of freight-carrying merchantmen
and fishing vessels is only a matter of a short
time now. That it will tend to greatly pro-
mote the safety of life afloat is understood by
none so well as by practical seamen.
Much ado was recently made by the New-
York Press over the contemplated arrest by
the Federal authorities of eleven millionaire
tile manufacturers for having violated the
Alien Contract Labor law. But Messrs. Mil-
lionaires were not arrested. Instead, they were
deferentially approached by the representa-
tives of the law and told that they were tech-
nically under arrest, but would be given ample
time in which to furnish bail, and they accord-
ingly bailed themselves "out." It is said that
they have already engaged very able and very
learned counsel to defend them and carry the
case into the Supreme Court of the United
States, if necessary. Therefore the case is
likely to be decided inside of a hundred years
at any rate !
The scheme of the boss printers to break
the strikes of the printers by teaching women
typewriters how to manipulate typesetting
machines will furnish a little more "food for
reflection" for those estimable citizens who are
worried over the ever-interesting problems of
"race-suicide" and the "segregation of the
sexes." But "business" must be pro-
tected, even although the institution of
"home" perish from the earth.
The three principal Italian charitable soci-
ties in New York have combined for the pur-
pose of establishing a bureau which will in-
vestigate all complaints made by Italians and
all injuries done to Italians anywhere in the
United States. Special attention will be given
to relieving the great congestion of Italians
in New York, by distributing them among the
rural communities, where work may be found
for them on the farms.
Union Items.
At the regular weekly meeting of the Cen-
tral Federated Union, of New York, on Sep-
tember 17, resolutions were read, condemning
the city officials for having, through negli-
gence and incompetence, been indirectly re-
sponsible for the recent elevated railroad dis-
aster, as well as for the burning of the steam-
er General Slocum, the collapse of the Darl-
ington hotel, and the fall of numerous build-
ings in New York during the last six months,
with accompanying great loss of life. The
resolutions were unanimously adopted, and
copies ordered sent to all affiliated organiza-
tions, with the request that they be read and
discussed at the next meeting after their re-
ceipt.
Shipping along the Atlantic Coast has been
quite brisk lately, the demand for seamen hav-
ing generally been in excess of the supply.
Freights are fairly good, both in sail and
steam tonnage. Despite this, Secretary Fraz
ier, of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union,
takes a gloomy view of the outlook for the
coming winter, basing his apprehensions upon
the fact that most of the Eastern seaports
have stocked up with enough coal to last them
during many months to come. This has, of
course, been done in anticipation of the ex-
pected strike in the anthracite coal fields. As
an offset to this, however, the coastwise lum-
ber trade promises to be brisker than usual
during the coming winter, as there will be a
large demand in New York and vicinity for
building and dock materials, including gran-
ite, paving stones, bricks, cement, lime, sand,
etc.
For some weeks past there has been a strike
in progress among the New York mail wagon
drivers, backed up by the National Team-
sters' Association. The parties who had the
contract for delivering the mails at the va-
rious ferries and railroad stations made the
usual claims that the strike was a failure,
that they had all the men they needed, that
there was no delay, etc., etc. But so unsat-
isfactory has their service been to the city that
the authorities in Washington have been
forced to take cognizance of the matter, with
the result that the mail contractors were given
until midnight of September 30 to bring the
service up to its usual schedules or have their
contract voided. In consequence of this de-
cision of the Government, the union drivers
have been reinstated at the rate of wages for
which they struck.
At the regular weekly meeting of the Cen-
tral Federated Union, of New York, of Sep
tember 24, several of the delegates stated that
European immigrants were regularly smug-
gled into New York, hundreds at a time, with-
out having passed through Ellis Island.
Delegate Sullivan, of the Atlantic Coast Ma-
rine Firemen's Union, said that the leading
steamship companies on the Atlantic Coast
were supplied with crews by crimps, who
made it a regular business to induce the sea-
men on foreign vessels to desert, and that in
this manner alone thousands of aliens were

Sixty-nine seafaring men have been charged by
secret service agents at Seattle, Wash., with illegal
naturalization, who previously secured papers in San
Francisco which were revoked after an investigation.
The naturalization frauds in the North, it is stated,
will exceed in seriousness the conditions unearthed
at San Francisco.
The largest cargo of salmon of the year from
Alaska was brought to San Francisco on October 5
by the ship W. H. Macy. It consisted of 84,000 cases.
The same vessel last year brought the record cargo
that season, amounting to 86,000 cases. The year's
catch is now practically at hand and is being dis-
tributed and trans-shipped in a lively manner.
The steamer City of Topeka, under command of
Captain Paulsen, sailed from San Francisco on Oct. 7,
for Ensenada and all the Mexican ports usually visited
by the Curacao. The Curacao, now laid up, was ex-
pected to be ready for service last week, but will not be
able to resume service for some weeks, and the City of
Topeka will make the trip in her place, manned by
the Curacao 's crew.
The new steamer Bessie Dollar, built at Port Glas-
gow for the Robert Dollar Steamship Company of San
Francisco, has probably been already launched from
the builders' yards. Captain Gow, late of the Hazel
Dollar, also a new steamer built at Port Glasgow, is
to have command of the Bessie Dollar, which is a
modern freighter with a particularly large capacity
for lumber.
Sailing vessels now due at San Francisco include
the British ship Wayfarer, out 157 days from Ham-
burg; the British ship Bardowie, 235 days out from
Newcastle, England, and which on July 16 put into
Cape Town with her bulwarks stove and stanchions
damaged. The Bardowie discharged 600 tons of coke
at Cape Town and sailed again on her passage on Au-
gust 21. The French ship Duchesse de Berry, 177
days out from Swansea, is also due.
The American bark Homeward Bound sailed from
San Francisco on October 1, in tow of the tugboat
Sea Rover, for Eureka, where she will take on a par-
tial cargo of lumber for Sydney or Melbourne. She is
to return to the former port to complete her cargo be-
fore sailing for Australia. The British bark Inver-
snaid, to carry merchandise to Sydney, was also towed
out for Eureka, but, like the Homeward Bound, will
return to San Francisco to finish loading.
Captain Abner Zeeder of the Pacific Mail liner
Korea, whose citizenship rights have been under in-
vestigation by Secret Service Agent Helms, was re-
instated to citizenship by Judge Murasky, at San
Francisco on Oct. 6, to whom Agent Helms had re-
ferred to the captain's papers. First Mate Leopold
Quayle of the City of Sydney, was also rehabilitated
as a bona fide citizen of the United States by Judge
Murasky on the same day.
The overdue British bark Lalla Rookh reached her
destination, Falmouth, on Oct. 6, after a long pas-
sage of 199 days from Brisbane, Australia. For weeks
the Lalla Rookh has been on the overdue board, for
some time past at a rate of 90 per cent for reinsur-
ance, which is usually regarded as the limit. Another
overdue arriving on the same day was the British ship
Deanmount, eighty-eight days out from Newcastle,
Australia, for Valparaiso, and quoted at 15 per cent.
The United States Circuit Court of Appeals handed
down a deeison at San Francisco on Oct. 2, in the
case of the Oceanic Steamship Company against the
Government in favor of the action of Collector of the
Port Stratton, who collected $2 per head from the
steamship company for 210 alien passengers who went
through this country. The opinion was written by
Judge Hawley, Judge Ross concurring; but Presiding
Judge Gilbert entered a very positive dissenting opin-
ion.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on October 8: French bark Ville de Mnl-
house, ]20 days from Port Pirie for Antwerp, 6 per
cent. Wulfran Puget, 125 days from Shields for Val-
paraiso, 10 per cent. British bark Renfield, 12L! days
from London for Fremantle, 5 per cent. Italian bark
Affezione, 110 days from Bahia Blanca for Stockton,
England, 15 per cent. British bark Principality, 158
days from Junin for Rotterdam, 90 per cent. British
bark Celticburn, 139 days from Port Pirie for Ant-
werp, 10 per cent. German bark Edmund, 137 days
from Port Talbot for Iquique, 35 per cent.
Further details of the burning of the American ship
Roanoke on August 10 in Noumea, New Caledonia,
have been received. The ship was loading a full cargo
of chrome ore, when fire was discovered in the forward
hold. In spite of all that the crew of thirty-two men,
and the crews of the American ship Susquehanna and
the Norwegian bark Arabia, could do, the fire got be-
yond control, and all hands were driven over the side
into small boats, and from a distance they witnessed
the total destruction of the ship. The mate of the
Susquehanna, who had the led the fight against the
fire, was almost overcome, and was helpless for some
hours afterward. Captain Amesbury of the Roanoke
is now en route to New York.

Dyers' StriRe in Saxony.
United States Consul, Ernest L. Harris, of
Chemnitz, reports that the dyers' strike in
Saxony, which had its origin in Glauchau-
Meerane, and which threatened at one time
to assume enormous dimensions, has come to
a sudden end. He writes :
The great strike at Crimmitschau during
the winter of 1903-4 is still keenly remem-
bered by everybody in this part of Saxony.
At that time 8,000 skilled and organized
workmen held out for six months. The fac-
tory owners finally won the day, but the in-
dustries of Crimmitschau suffered to such an
extent that they will not regain their former
prosperity for many years to come. After
the strike was over the factories were only
able to take back a small percentage of their
old workmen for the reason that all outstand-
ing orders had been canceled, and in the mean-
time a sharp competition sprung up in other
parts of Germany.
In the present crisis there is no question
but what both employer and employe
throughout all the textile centers in Saxony
and Thuringia were anxious to localize and
settle the points of difference before the strike
spread from Glauchau-Meerane to Gera and
other places in Thuringia. The number of
workmen on strike in Glauchau-Meerane was
11,000, and if it had assumed greater dimen-
sions fully 40,000 men would have been forced
to quit work. The reason for this is to be
found in the action of the Gera manufacturers
who, by previous arrangement, had agreed to
work in union with the factory owners of
Glauchau-Meerane. By closing down their
factories the pressure of their united efforts
would be brought to bear, not only upon the
strikers at Glauchau-Meerane, but upon organ-
ized labor in general.
On August 12 the dyers and their employ-
ers in Glauchau-Meerane, each making cer-
tain concessions, finally agreed upon a scale
of wages and declared the strike off, the same
having lasted about three weeks. The mini-
mum weekly wages agreed upon is $3.50 for
men and $2.15 for women.
Canadian Merchant Marine.
According to the annual report of the
Dominion Department of Marine and Fish-
eries recently published, the number of vessels
recorded in the Dominion on December 31,
including old and new vessels, sailing vessels,
steamers, and barges, was 7,152, measuring
672,838 tons registered tonnage — an increase
of 132 vessels and a decrease of 10,309 tons
register compared with 1903. Assuming the
average value to be $30 per ton, the value of
the registered tonnage of Canada on Decem-
ber 31, 1904, would be $20,185,140. The num-
ber of new vessels built and registered in
1904 was 308, measuring 18,554 tons. Esti-
mating the value of the new tonnage at $45
per ton, there would be a total value of
$834,930 for new vessels. Of the total number
of sailing ships and steamers, Nova Scotia
has 2,066, Ontario 1,886, and Quebec 1,287.
The number of steamers is 2,543, with a gross
tonnage of 353,514 tons. Ontario has 1,288
of the steamers, or more than half.
The importation of paints, inks, and colors
into Chile average about $800,000 annually in
value. Germany and Great Britain are the
chief supply sources, the United States par-
ticipating only to the amount of $31,500 in the
importation of these articles during 1905.

SAX FRANCISCO A FREE PORT.
The Oakland (Cal.) Longshoremen's Union
(formerly known as "No. 225. I. L. M. ;m<l
T. A.") decided on last Thursday to with-
draw from the long-name outfit, and will
henceforth be known as the "Lumber Han-
dlers' Union of California." This action re-
moves the last trace of long-nameism in the
harbor of San Francisco. The latter is now
a free port, free from the claims, pretensions
and dangers of "industrialism." as repre-
sented by the so-called "International Long-
shoremen, Marine and Transport Workers'
Association."
The action of the Oakland longshoremen,
besides being creditable to their intelligence,
will redound to their material benefit, since
they are now assured of the whole-hearted
support of their fellow-workers in other era Its.
The Sailors, for instance, who have felt that
any support, or even recognition, granted to
the long-namemen was so much aid and com-
fort extended to the enemy, are now free to
lend a helping hand, secure in the knowledge
that the power thus created will not be used
against themselves.
The position taken by the Sailors' Union
of the Pacific in its dealings with the long-
shoremen on the Pacific Coast, namely, that
the actual support, or non-support, of the
Sailors is a matter of more concern to the
longshoremen than the nominal support or
opposition of the "I. L. M. and T. A.." lias
been amply justified by results. Wherever
the longshoremen have acceded to the requests
of the Sailors the benefits to the former have
been immediate and important. The two most
recent instances of this fact are contained in
the cases of the Union Lumber Company and
the Hooper Lumber Company, both of San
Francisco. These concerns have for a long
time been running their yards on a non-union
basis. As soon as the Longshore Lumbermen
determined to join hands with the Sailors,
steps were taken jointly to unionize these
yards. The outcome has been a complete suc-
cess. The efforts which, when undertaken
singly or separately, had proved abortive.
were crowned with success immediately the
Sailors and Lumbermen joined hands in com-
mon cause. The Union and Hooper yards are
now thoroughly union establishments. Lastly,
but not leastly, many employes of the latter
concern secured an increase of wages of +1
per day (i. e., from $3 to $4) immediately
upon the completion of the agreement.
These and all similar results have been se-
cured solely by co-operation between seamen
and longshoremen; they can only be main-
tained by a continuance of that method.
Those who, through misinformation, are dis-
posed to criticise the attitude of the organized
seamen toward the "I. L. M. and T. A." are
invited to reflect upon the facts. Longname-
ism sounds well, no doubt;- but trade-union-
ism alone produces results in the hour of su-
preme test.
WRECKS (>X THE COAST.
The wreck of the Oceanic liner Alameda,
noted in these columns last week, has turned
out to be no wreck at all. The old girl just
wanted a rest, and, having taken one for a
week, she floated off the rocks so quietly and
quickly that the wreckers had scarce time to
get their mouths into shape for a big holler
over their own achievement, which consisted
mainly in a lot of tall talk about what they
were going to do. The Alameda, like the pa-
tient who hears the doctors discuss his case.
determined to fool the wise ones, so she gol
up and left them still discussing the proposed
operation. The small sum of $60,000 will
again put the handsome ship in good shape,
and the Alameda's luck will henceforth shine
with added luster.
The series of wrecks that has occurred on
the Coast within the past few weeks is re-
markable for two things, namely, for the lack
of fatalities in any case, and for the abun-
dance of newspaper wisdom that has been de-
veloped in the course of the discussion on the
subject. The more important of the recent
strandings on the Coast include the steamers
Tricolor, Gypsy, Alameda, Santa Barbara and
St. Paul. Of these the Tricolor, Gypsy and
St. Paul ai*e total wrecks. In each ease fog
prevailed at the time of the accident, and
that fact is attributed by seamen as the main
cause of the trouble. The newspapers, how-
ever, are disposed to scout the fog theory, the
fact that the seamen favor that theory being
against rather than in favor of its acceptance
by the newspapers, since seamen are notori-
ously unreliable in such matters! The news-
papers have a theory of their own, to wit,
that these vessels were too close to the land
when they went ashore ! Could anything be
more conclusive? When a vessel goes ashore,
it is because she was too close to land ; when
a vessel founders at sea, it is because she got
full of water! The profundity of these theo-
ries is only equalled by their simplicity, a
feature which, by the way, is but another evi-
dence of the genius that inspires them.
The newspapers, not content with merely
telling us the cause of the recent wrecks on
the Coast, have proposed a remedy, which is
that ships shall be so constructed that they
can travel on land as well as on water, all the
same "liiit der ears across." 'Tis a splendid
idea, one that gathers sanctity with each cen-
tury that passes since it was first born to the
world. The suggestion lacks but one thing to
make it perfect, the amphibious ship must lie
commanded by a navigator of commensurate
abilities. The inference is plain, of course;
we must have a newspaper editor in the ca-
pacity of boss buttons. Presumably the edi-
tors have allowed their modesty to deter them
from making this obvious suggestion, for once
assuming that the intelligence of their readers
would see the point. By all means let us has-
ten the advent of the ship that can cut off
corners when need be, and let her be com-
manded by the editor, who, by reason of the
fact that he is always in deep water and al-
ways in a fog, is eminently qualified to steer
his craft amid these dangers without striking
any tiling except an occasional happy thought.
The loss of the freight-steamer Sevona and
seven lives in the recent storm on Lake Supe-
rior forcibly illustrates the lax system of life-
saving equipment on board that class of ves-
sels. The Sevona had on board a number of
female passengers. In order that the women
might be saved part of the crew had to remain
on board, the boats available being insufficient
to curry all hands. Those who remained on
board were drowned. "Women and children
lirsf !" is good principle, of course; but when
in practice that principle is translated into
"Women and children only!" the ethics of
chivalry are somewhat strained. The Sevona
case is made the more noteworthy by the fact
that quite recently a delegation of Lake ves-
selowners protested to the Washington au-
thorities against the application of the new
Steamboat Inspection laws to freighters which
carry passengers only upon occasion— that is,
upon every occasion possible. It would ap-
pear from the Sevona case that the protest in
question has been successful; also it would
appear that the said protest was unwarranted
by the conditions. Perhaps we oughl not be
too critical. Perhaps, if an occasional small
sacrifice, say of seven lives or so, be not made
to the principle of "Women and children
first!" the same wiil fall into innocuous
desuetude, in which event the "romance of
the sea" will be robbed of its main-stay.
Perhaps the owners of the Sevona are entitled
to credit, rather than blame, for their part in
the maintenance of a "splendid tradition!"
The article by Tom Lauder, on page 1 of
this issue, is an interesting and timely dis-
cussion of a great institution. Long and inti-
mate acquaintance with the labor press of
Australia impels the Journal to indorse all
that our correspondent says regarding the
ability and power of our contemporaries in
the Antipodes. Mr. Lauder makes no mention
of the labor press of New South Wales, his
intention being to further discuss the subject,
as it appears in that and other parts of Aus-
tralasia, in a subsequent article. Meanwhile,
we note the "special, double, moving-in num-
ber" just issued by the Worker, of Sydney.
N. S. W. The occasion of our esteemed eon-
temporary's "showing off" is the opening of
its own building in Sydney, a fine illustration
of which appears on the front page of the
issue. The Worker was first published in
1891 and has since continued to grow in in-
fluence among the Australian trade-unionists.
We congratulate the Worker and wish it
many years of added prosperity and power
for good.
The government of industrial conditions by
the women of the households, exercised
through the medium of the union label, is the
kind of "petticoat government" that every
man may welcome with pride and pleasure.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
A special agent of the Department of Com-
merce and Labor reports that "Japan wants
the United States to enact legislation discour-
aging Japanese immigration to the United
States." The same authority adds that Japan
will protest against any act on the part of this
country "which would look like discrimina-
tion or which would reflect on Japan's dig-
nity." It appears from this report that
Japan's future peace of mind depends mainly
upon one thing. The United States will doubt-
less be able to accommodate Japan in the mat-
ter of "discouraging" the immigration of her
coolies, but whether our measures of discour-
agement will, or will not, "reflect upon Ja-
pan's dignity" will depend upon the length
of the lugs which that nation proposes to
put on.
The "Workers' Magazine," now going the
rounds of the press as a feature of the "Sun-
day supplement," is an imposition upon the
reading public. Under the pretense of giving
the average reader a glimpse of the field oc-
cupied by the labor press, the "Workers'
Magazine" dishes up a lot of twaddle about
the evils of "looking at the clock" and the
virtues of "making the bosses' business your
own." The stuff is anti-union throughout
and should be frowned upon by the labor
press, instead of being advertised by that me-
dium— at so much per insertion. Altogether,
the "Workers' Magazine" is a fitting climax
to the atrocities perpetrated by the Sunday
press, as silly as "Happy Hooligan," but not
half as funny.
The reference in our "Australian Notes"
(published on page 2 of this issue) to the use
of this paper by the Australian opponents of
the union label applies particularly to the
publication of the "We Don't Patronize" list.
The Australian Parry-Postites object to that,
as an infringement upon their sacred right to
"run their own business." However, it is
more than likely that the union label will re-
ceive legislative approval by the Australian
Parliament, in which event the Journal will
be entitled to congratulate itself upon its part
in popularizing the label among the Austra-
lian workers.
Those missionaries who recently voted to
put a stop to the discussion of "tainted
money" may flatter themselves upon having
got rid of a very delicate subject. But the
discussion will continue, just the same. In-
deed, the missionaries will be very fortunate
if they do not find themselves discussed as an
element of the "taint." A question of the
kind under consideration may be fought out,
but it can't be cried out.
Attention is directed to the call for the con-
vention of the International Seamen's Union
of America, published in another column.
Locals of that organization should determine
to be fully represented upon the occasion,
which will doubtless mark an important epoch
in the work of organization among the Amer-
ican seafaring craft.
When does the "taint" leave the money?
When the latter is paid in the shape of fair
remuneration for honest labor. And not a
minute sooner!

FISHERMEN'S PROTECTIVE" UNION OF
THE PACIFIC COAST AND ALASKA.
Headquarters, San Francisco, Oct. 6, 1905.
Regular weekly meeting was called to order at 8:00
p. m., P. Ahlsteadt presiding. Secretary reported the
fishing in Alaska during last season, good, with the
exception of Igagik, TJgashik, Karluk and Alitak, and
that the men seemed fairly well satisfied, as far as
the fishing is concerned, but that there is among all
the fishermen a general dissatisfaction with the
articles they signed for the different companies.
A Quarterly Finance Committee was elected. Dele-
gates to the International Seamen's Union conven
tion, at Cleveland, O., were nominated. The election
to be held in the two next regular meetings. It was
decided that two delegates be sent. Resolutions favor-
ing the action taken by I. S. U. of A. in relation to
the trouble between the aforesaid I. S. U. of A. and
the so-called "I. L. M. and T. A." were unanimously
adopted. Resolutions instructing and authorizing the
Secretary to use all efforts in getting a Government
Hospital erected at Bristol Bay, Alaska, were unani-
mously adopted. Resolutions favoring amending the
articles heretofore signed by the fishermen were
unanimously adopted.
Respectfully submitted,

Plain Dealer, Double Dealer.
DULUTH, Sept. 29.— A real mutiny, minus the
blood and thunder accompaniments of the Clark Rus-
sell novels, took place on the barge Matanzas last
night. Tnstead of demanding more grog and plum
duff, all the crew of the Matanzas wanted was a tew-
more inches of canvas on the hatch covers, which they
claimed were not of sufficient length for safety.
The barge, which was bowling down Lake Superior
in tow of the steamer Shenandoah at the time of the
uprising, was brought back to port. Upon reaching
shore a representative of the Seamen's Union investi-
gated the case and upheld the sailors. New hatch cov-
ers were then provided and the two vessels resumed
their voyage this afternoon. The boats belong to Cap-
tain .lames Davidson, of Bay City.
The foregoing appeared in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer under date of September 30,
and shows the opinion of that paper on sail-
ors and seafaring men in general. I must ad-
mit that that paper is not alone in its hatred of
seamen, but few persons, and even fewer news-
papers, vent their spleen so openly. "A
real mutiny, minus the blood and thund-
er accompaniments of Clark Russell nov-
els," is good. We all know that the
men, according to the landsman's idea.
should have made the trip. If the
weather held good, and the barge got safely
through, then all right, If a blow came up,
and seas began to break over her and because
of insufficient hatch cloths, she leaked water
into her hold and finally went the way of the
old Pretoria, then all the sympathy would be
due her owners! But no sympathy for the
crew from the Plain Dealer at this time of
the season, when old Superior has her war
paint on.
The owners should be compelled by
law to furnish adequate protection for their
crews. I am well aware that there are several
old tubs which would be better at the bottom
of the Lake, but I do not know any seamen who
want to go with them. The chances are good
that the crew of the Mantanzas were in the
right, else they would not have been upheld
by their agent. Neither would Captain Gordon
have submitted to their demands. But I am
not going into the right and wrong of the
thing, for I only have the Plain Dealer's art-
icle to go by. But the gross injustice toward
seamen in general is what I dislike. "Every-
thing for the owner, let the sailor drown, ' ' ap-
pears to be the motto of the Plain Dealer. The
brave men who gave their lives to the Sevona,
that her passengers might be saved, have ap-
parently died in vain. Not one word of credit
have they received, and before the snow falls
their very names will cease to be a memory to
all except their comrades and the dear ones
left behind. I note in a current newspaper —
the Plain Dealer, of course — that the owners
are very much exercised over the order for an-
other inspection of their vessels. If they are
safe and in good condition, why do the owners
object to their being inspected ?
A local newspaper, of date September 29,
had a scare-head article of news : "A Drunk-
en Sailor Saved." A switchman had found
some man asleep near the railroad tracks and
awakened him. There was nothing to show
that he was a sailor, except that he was drunk !

Tbe Dead of tbe Iosco.
With the discovery of two additional
bodies the remains of fifteen persons who per-
ished in the wreck of the steamer Iosco and
her consort, the schooner Olive Jeanette, have
now been recovered. Of these, eight have
been picked up along the beach in the vicin-
ity of the Huron Mountain club and the oth-
ers in the neighborhood of L'Anse. One body
found on September 14 was that of a man
who wore silk underwear, although his trous-
ers were of the blue jean variety and his
shoes of the common sort. On the corpse was
found $152 in currency in a large pocketbook
which was attached to a belt securely fastened
about his waist. There were no papers or
marks of identification. A description of the
corpse follows: Height, 5 feet, 6 inches;
weight, 140 pounds; smooth face; eye tooth
crowned with gold.
There is considerable wreckage scattered
along the beach near Huron Mountain for a
distance of thirty miles. It consists princi-
pally of cabin furniture and parts of the up-
per works of the Iosco. An oak railing
twenty feet long, mattresses, bed springs,
leather couches and chairs are among the ar-
ticles found, and there is much of the same
kind of debris on the shores of Huron islands.
The searching party found a child's toy, a
wooden soldier painted black and white, with
the appearance of having been fashioned with
a jack-knife. The impression prevails that a
child is among the missing, as a quantity of
doll's clothing was washed up with the wreck-
age.
It is planned to maintain the beach patrol
until the dozen or more missing bodies are re-
covered, although Captain Smith, representa-
tive of Hawgood & Company, of Cleveland,
owners of the lost craft, says that it is prob-
able that some of the bodies will never be
found. Most of the bodies have been taken to
the receiving vault in Park cemetery for stor-
age. All have been numbered, and the coroner
has a description of each. The remains of the
one woman found have not been identified.
It was supposed they were those of Mrs. W.
B. Barnes, wife of the cook, herself assistant
steward of the Iosco, but later information is
that with her husband she left the boat before
the latter sailed on her ill-fated trip.

Henry Hess, of Buffalo, chief-engineer of
the Western Transit Company, has resigned his
position at the age of seventy, having been
with the company since 1856. He gained
rapid promotion in the service and in 1865 he
was made first-engineer of the steamer Mo-
hawk, after which he handled the machinery
on nearly all of the company's fleet, having
been in the Commodore, Fountain City, Al-
bany, Hudson, Troy, Buffalo, Chicago and
Utica, and at the time of his retirement was in
the Superior. He has never missed a trip.
The steamer H. C. Frick, last of the "Big
Four" built this year for the Steel Trust, sail-
ed from Bay City on September 25, on her
first trip, clearing for Duluth. While going
from the shipyard to the fueling dock the new
boat bumped into the Michigan Central bridge,
cracking the cement pier and displacing one
span several inches.
New Coal DocK.
President Francis L. Robbins, of the Pitts-
burg Coal Company, has issued instructions
to go ahead with the construction of a $100,-
000-coal dock at Point aux Frenes, near the
Soo. The dock will be used for fueling ves-
sels passing in the St. Mary's River, and will
provide competition for the Cleveland coal
men. The Pittsburg Coal Company will now
be enabled to obtain the fuel business of the
Pittsburg Steamship Company, which amounts
to about $100,000 a year.
While the Pittsburg Coal Company has been
supplying the steamship company's furnaces
with coal, the Cleveland coal men have been
furnishing most of the fuel for its vessels. The
location of the new dock is said to be especi-
ally advantageous for vessels. Officials of the
Steel Trust fleet have been asked to formally
approve of the location, and it is said that
President and General Manager Coulby, who
is now at the head of the Lakes looking after
the steamer Maritana, which is in bad shape at
Detour, would extend his trip to the Soo. As-
sistant Manager Harvey and Superintendent
Smith are also at Detour, and the matter may
be decided upon while these three officers are
in the upper Lakes vicinity.
Who Will Settle?
Who is to pay for the $20,000 worth of hard-
ware and groceries which lighter No. 3 of the
Merchants' Lighterage Co. dumped into the
Chicago River four weeks ago has become a
great question among the fifty people to
whom it was being sent and the wholesale
firms which shipped it.
The Lighterage Company has applied to the
Federal courts to limit its liability to the value
of the lighter, as it lies at the bottom of the
river. As that is worth nothing, and will be
blown up by the Government engineer as an
obstruction to navigation, the Lighterage
Company escapes. Some of the shippers se-
cured bills of lading from the railroad com-
panies for goods now on their way down the
drainage canal to the Mississippi, and the rail-
roads say these are not holding. The firms
which shipped the goods state that they did
not insure against marine risks, and the peo-
ple who bought the goods allow they knew
nothing about any marine risk, as they sup-
posed the consignments were to come by rail.
Out of the question involved will come some
important decisions regarding the new system
of shippin«~goods by lighters on the Lakes.
The schooner Senator was caught' in a storm
near Poverty Islands, Lake* Michigan, recently
and rolled her masts overboard. The crew
were taken off the wreck by the tug Smith and
landed at Mackinac Island. The derelict was
picked up by Ann Arbor No. 3 and towed into
Frankfort. The masts and rigging are en-
tirely gone, and there were twelve inches of
water in the hold.
The new steamer Peter White took out 8,830
gross tons of hard hematite iron ore from
Marquette for Buffalo as her maiden cargo.
The total number of deaths from yellow-
fever at New Orleans up to date was 41f).

The new 500-footer, building at Craig's, at
Toledo, will be named in honor of Eugene Zim-
merman, of Cincinnati, president of the C. H.
& D. — Pere Marquette Railroad System.
The D. & C. line has chartered the steamer
Arabia, owned by M. Calvin, of Buffalo, for
several trips from Cleveland to Detroit, to
bring up accumulation of iron commodities.
A fine of $200 has been placed on the steam-
er Mariposa, of the Steel Trust fleet, for viola-
tion of navigation rules in the St. Mary's
River. She is charged with passing the steam-
er Bessemer at Johnson's Point.
The new lighthouse tender Aspen, being
built for the Eleventh District at Craig's yard,
was launched recently. The boat is to be de-
livered to the Government not later than No-
vember 22.
Harry Molyneau obtained possession recent-
ly of his yacht Hazel M., which was seized a
month ago at Sandusky by the revenue-cutter
Morrill, for sailing at night without a license.
The fine was reduced from $200 to $10 and was
paid.
The schooner West Side, which reached St.
Clair River on September 25, leaking badly,
stopped at Detroit on the 27th and lightered
100,000 feet of lumber. She then proceeded
for Cleveland with extra men on board to
work the pumps.
The Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Com-
pany had the biggest season's business in its
history, with $250,000 increase over last season
Eight per cent will be earned on the capital
stock of the company. Several of the steamers
are now closing the season.
Captain Whitney Carr has been appointed
assistant to Captain Samuel Leonard, manager
of the Great Lakes Towing Company at Ashta-
bula and Conneaut. The business has grown
rapidly at the latter port, and Captain Smith
decided to relieve Captain Leonard of some
work.
A cargo of wheat, which left Fort William
on the steamer Rosemount recently, was later
loaded on the ocean steamer at Montreal, for
Europe, breaking the record for fast ship-
ments. The grain was brought by the steamer
Rosemount and came down the St. Lawrence
in river barges.
T. Wall, a seaman on the steamer Kaliyuga
was recently injured by a falling stack and was
removed to St. Joseph's hospital at Lorain. He
was painting the sides of the vessel. One of
the whirlies swung around and struck the stack
of No. 3 machine, knocking it off. It fell on
Wall's back and knocked him to the ground. •
Articles of incorporation of the Franklin
Steamship Company were recently filed in the
office of the register of deeds at Duluth. These
provide for a capitalization of $155,000. The
highest liability to which the company can be-
come charged is $220,000. The signing mem-
bers are : President, David W. Stocking ; vice-
president, John W. Wolvin; secretary and
treasurer, G. Ashley Tomlinson, Fred P.
Houghton and Herbert R. Spencer.
The car-ferry Ann Arbor No. 3, which ar-
rived at Manistique, recently, reported having
passed the abandoned schooner Senator ten
miles south of Point Au Barques. The spars
were gone and the derelict was making heavy
weather in the gale. There was no sign of the
crew, who must have left the wreck some time
before. The abandoned boat was built in 1863
and was owned by Candler Bros, of Detroit.
She measures 332 tons.

landed in New Sork every year. On motion,
a committee of five was appointed to investi-
the matter and frame such recommenda-
tions, to be acted upon, as in their judg-
ment would put a stop to the practice of smug-
gling aliens into the port of New York with-
out the knowledge of the Ellis Island au-
thorities.
Since the recent accident on the elevated
road in New York, in which twelve persons
were killed and forty injured through the in-
capacity of a motorman, who was a Parley
strike-breaker, the company has gradually
dropped the men in their employ who got
there through taking the places of strikers in
the strike ( t last March. It is said that the
damage suits against the company resulting
from the nferesaid accident will aggregate sev-
eral mill ion dollars, and as their experience
with Farley's men has. up to date, been of the
costly suit, it will be seen that the managers
,,!' the road are not quite so wise as they
thought they were. None but fools ever have
much occasion to lock the door of the stable

President Roosevelt's admirers are busy
with all sorts of schemes for furnishing him
with outlets for the surplus strenuosity which
he is expected to have on hand at the expira-
tion of his present term. The latest is the
raising of a fund with which to equip him for
going in search of the North Pole and bring-
ing it here. It is a cold proposition, to be
sure; but as Mr. Roosevelt is generally
credited with a warm temperament, it would
not be surprising if he were to fall in with
the scheme, heart and soul.
The resolution favoring exclusion from the
United States of Japanese and Korean coolies,
which was adopted at the recent annual con-
vention of the International Elevator Con-
structors' Union, shows which way the wind
is blowing. Better tell the watch below to be
handy for a call; there is going to be a hot
time this winter in Washington about this ex-
clusion business, and before it is over Mongo-
lian stock will be down to 30 cents per 1000
shares.
Jupiter Pluvius was the most conspicuous
participant in the New York Labor Day pa-
rade. Goodness, hut how it rained! If Mr.
Post had conspired with the Weather Bureau
no worse brand of non-union weather could
have been turned out for the day of all days.
However, the boys had a good time, just the
same, for what the day lacked in spectacular
displays it made up in enthusiasm and all-
round good fellowship.
The Presbyterian Church, it is reported, has
entered upon an agitation to advance the
cause of organized labor. This news suggests
that some one must have read, marked and
inwardly digested the tale about Mahomet
and the mountain.

most of us are wasters of both.
'Tis better to be honored by the lowly than
merely tolerated by the great.
Man knows but little, and most of that little
he would be much better off without knowing.
Man's hatred still rules more strongly than
his love ; revenge is ardent, gratitude but luke-
warm.
In passing through life it is of more im-
portance to know what to avoid than what to
choose.
All the good intentions we ever had will
not compensate for even one evil which we
have done.
Civilization's most absurd customs usually
rest upon and are enforced by the hoariest
precedents.
Work for the Initiative and Referendjun
and the Recall, the three fundamental props
of democracy.
< >nly that part of our existence which we
have spent in improving ourselves really de-
serves to be called life.
It is better to deserve the esteem of our
lellowmen without obtaining it, than to obtain
it without deserving it.
The truth concerning most things is gen-
erally found at the half-way station between
the extremes of unbelief and fanaticism.
Persuasion is the weapon of rational men
inspired by the spirit of charity; persecution
is the weapon of bigots inspired by fanati-
cism.
Few men will make the journey of life with-
out discovering that it is much easier to con-
found one's enemies than to please one's
friends.
It is a curious paradox that men will go
to war and fight to defend and uphold princi-
ples which they seldom think of living up to
in time of peace.
Demand the union label on all products.
We can not all be wise or witty or pro-
found, but every man can be liberal in his
views and opinions of other men, and only to
the extent that we are thus liberal can we
claim to be really civilized.
Most minds are so constituted that they can
not grasp even a little that is to the purpose
unless that little has been greatly diluted with
much that is not to the purpose.

BRITISH TRADE-UNION CONGRESS.
Membership, and Measures Adopted.
Compulsory Arbitration Again Defeated.
THE Thirty-eighth Annual Congress of the
Trade- Unions of the United Kingdom was held
in the Victoria Hall, Hanley, on Monday, Sep-
tember 4, and five following days. The Congress was
presided over by the Chairman of the Parliamentary
Committee, Mr. James Sexton, General Secretary of
the National Union of Dock Laborers. The standing
orders of Congress provide that it shall consist of
representatives of trade-unions who are actually
working at their trade at the time of their appoint-
ment, or are permanent paid officials of the unions
they represent.
This qualification of delegates to the Congress was
adopted about ten years ago. The circumstances
which led to the adoption of the rule that delegates
must be actual workers at their trades or permanent
paid officials of their respective unions, and the effect
thereof, may not be without interest to American
trade-unionists. Prior to the adoption of this rule,
the Congress annually contained a number of delegates
who, although retaining membership in their organiza-
tions, had ceased to work at the trades they repre-
sented. In many instances these delegates occupied
public positions, some as Members of Parliament,
others as members of local governing boards, etc. In
the nature of things these, delegates exercised an in-
fluence in the proceedings of the Congress that was
out of proportion to their nominal standing as repre-
sentatives of certain trades. It naturally transpired
that the influence thus wielded did not always accord
with the proper purposes of the Congress. In a word.
much of the time of the Congress was occupied in dis-
cussion of a purely political character, to the exclusion
of trade-union questions. This diversion of interest
resulted in great dissatisfaction and wasteful bicker-
ing among the delegates. The rule in question was
therefore introduced in the Congress as the only rem-
edy for the evil which had developed. The opponents
of the proposed qualification argued that its adoption
would work a denial of the trade-unions ' right to pass
upon the qualifications of their representatives. This
objection was met with the reply that the Congri ss
must be vested with authority to make such regulations
as might be found necessary to conserve its own safety
and efficiency. The further objection was raised that
the adoption of the rule under discussion would result
in barring out a number of men who had theretofore
distinguished themselves by devotion to the cause of
trade-unionism, as well as by great service to the Con-
gress itself. At this point the names of several dele-
gates well known throughout the world were men-
tioned as prospective victims of the new rule. This ap-
peal to the personal sentiment of the delegates toward
certain of their confreres might have resulted in the
defeat of the measure, but for the attitude taken by
the more prominent of the delegates whom it was pro-
posed to legislate out of the Congress. John Burns,
at that time a powerful and conspicuous figure in the
deliberations of British trade-unionists, espoused the
proposed rule. Burns was then, as now, a Member of
Parliament, and had for years previously ceased to
work at his trade of engineer. lie, however, declared
his approval of the qualification under discussion, upon
the ground that, while it would debar himself and
others of like disposition from participation in future
sessions of the Congress, it would also debar a larger
number of men who, in the absence of such a rule,
would enter the Congress for ulterior or personal pur-
poses, rather than for the good of the labor movement.
For his own part, Burns declared, while he regretted
to sever his official connection with the Congress, he
freely recognized the wisdom and necessity of that
course and as freely pledged his continued interest in
the cause of organized labor. The rule was adopted,
and, so far as is known, has given entire satisfaction
to the British trade-unionists. The Congri. ss has been
freed from political agitation, while it has suffered no
loss of loyalty on the part of those former delegates
who, having quit the field of active trade-unionism,
have carried their faith in that institution into other
spheres of activity.
Trade-unions may send to the Congress one delegate
for every 2,000 members or fraction thereof, but many
of the larger societies do not send the full number
of delegates to which they are entitled. Voting on
important questions is by card, on the principle of
one vote for every 1,000 members represented.
The analysis into groups of trade's given below
shows the composition of the Congress, and the trade
groups represented are compared with the correspond-
ing figures for the Congress of 1904:

The number of organizations accounted for in the
foregoing statement is 154, but allowing for the num-
ber of distinct societies included in federations, mem-
bers of about 218 separate trade-unions attended the
Congress as delegates this year out of a total of about
1,166 unions in existence. The membership repre
sented, however, comprise. I about three -fourths of the
total membership of all trade unions. The number of
organizations represented this year Was five less than
in 1904, but the total membership was greater by
149,082. This increase is more than account..! for by
the inclusion in 1905 of the Amalgamated Society of
Engineers and the Durham .Miners' Association, which
were not represented last year. The glass trades in-
creased their representation, and the Postoffice em-
ployes and miscellaneous unions continued to show
an increased membership. The decrease in the mem-
bership of the building group is largely owing to the
Operative Plasterers' Society and the Associated So-
ciety of Carpenters and Joiners not being represented
this year. The general labor group of trades again
showed some falling off in membership.
Among the principal industrial subjects on which
the Congress passed resolutions were: Restriction of
the hours of labor to eight per day for miners and
work-people generally; certificates of competency for
persons in charge of steam engines and boilers;
amendment of the law in relation to trade-unions and
industrial disputes; amendment of the Mines Regula-
tion Act, the Factory and Workshop Acts, the Simp
Clubs Act, the Workmen's Compensation Acts, and
the Truck Act; the wages and general conditions of
labor of Governmenl employes; general old-age pen-
sions; abolition of the character note system; im-
proved housing accommodation for working people;
investment of trade-union funds; municipal trading
and banking; uniform compulsory hours of closing
for shops; special courts for trial of claims for wages
due, etc.; measures to prevent the dismissal of work-
men for being members of trade-unions; use of trade-
union labels on manufactured goods; nationalization
of mines, railways and canals; and abolition of the
privilege cab system at railway stations.
A resolution in favor of compulsory arbitration in
trade disputes was rejected by a majority of 92,000
votes; the majority at the previous Congress was
486,000.
The resolution favoring compulsory arbitration was
strenuously opposed by the miners, who denounced the
project with forceful arguments. The miners charged
the small organizations, who were the principal sup-
porters of compulsory arbitration, with being nar-
row-minded and adherents of an ancient spirit of caste,
which prevented them from seeing the benefits to be
derived through strong and powerful organization,
and thus being unable to fight their employers by
virtue of their own inherent strength.
The Eight-Hour resolution was opposed by Thomas
Ashton, of the Textile Workers, who argued that an
eight-hour day in the textile industry would make it
impossible for the British manufacturers to compete
and hold their own in the world's markets. Mr. Ash-
ton asserted thai at present tour-fifths of the British
textile product was sold abroad.
A resolution favoring the continuance of free trade
was adopted by 1,253,000 to 26,000 votes.
Delegates representing the American Federation of
Labor, the Cooperative Union, the General I'Y.l.i:.
tion of Trade-Unions, and the Labor Representation
Committee attended the Congress and delivered ad-
dresses-. Two Brit]sh delegates were elected to attend
the Annual Convention of the American Federation
of Labor, to be held in December next.
The voting by the Congress for members of the
Parliamentary Committee for the ensuing year result-
ed in representatives of the following organizations
being elected: Northern Counties Weavers, Boiler
Makers and Iron and steel Shipbuilders, Cotton Spin
ncrs. Shipwrights, Gas Workers and (ioneral Laborers,
Railway Servants, Miners' Federation, Boot and Shoe
Operatives, Dock Laborers, Brassworkers, London
Compositors, and Amalgamated Engineers. Mr. W.
1 . Steadman, Barge Builders' Society, was elected
Secretary of the Committee, Mr. D. C. CummingB,
representative of the Shipbuilders' Society, was ap-
pointed by the Committee as Chairman for the enau
ing year.
It was decided thai Dexl year's Congress should be
held at Liverpool.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Substitute for the Compass.
As "true as the needle to the pole" is a
trite comparison, but the scientific world un-
derstands well that it means very little. The
needle, in the first place, does not seek the
geographical pole at all, nor does it point
steadily toward any one region, but varies in
its direction with place and time. Besides
this, far from being true, the needle's affec-
tion is easily distracted — a chance bit of
magnetic iron, close by, will draw it more
powerfully than the eoncentrated pull of the
earth's magnet ism. In these days of iron
ships the deviation of the compass has become
increasingly hard to compute. And even
when the sailor knows theoretically how much
his needle is to be expected to swerve from
the meridian in any part of the voyage, the
magnetic characteristics of the ship change
with locality, and the navigator is constantly
passing into regions of different intensity of
arth's magnetic attraction. The useful-
ness of the original computation is thus con-
stantly impaired by distance in time or
ph Navigators who have been casting
about for some substitute for this capricious
instrument, or for some standard by which
its accuracy may be checked or tested from
time to time, have been experimenting with
a swiftly rotating fly-wheel, using the prin-
ciple that such a body tends to place itself
with its axis always in the same direction in
space. A correspondent of the Evening Post
New York, September 8), writing from
Washington, D. C, on this subject, tells us
thai it is proposed to maintain in rotation,
by means of an electric motor, a heavy-rim-
med wheel, mounted in gimbals. He says:
When the rate of speed amounts to three
thousand revolutions per minute, or there-
abouts, the plane in which the ring revolves
will maintain itself constantly in one direc-
tion. If the navigator starting from the port
of New York were to set the wheel of the
gyroscope revolving in the plane of the merid-
ian, it would continue to revolve in that
plane with great regularity. An ordinary
compass could be compared at intervals with
the fixed direction marked out by the wheel
of the gyroscope, and so the error of the
compass could be ••checked up" from time
to time. This is the conservative prediction,
making the gyroscope useful as an auxiliary.
to secure greater accuracy. Some observers
go further and predict that it will displace
the compass altogether. The greater prob-
ability, as in so many other things, is that
a compromise result would follow, each
method having its own field.
At the port of New Yoik, for example, the
gyroscope could be set by astronomical in-
struments of the greatest refinement so as to
point to the North Pole with absolute accu-
racy. As the ship advanced this device would
not point to the North Pole from new posi-
tions, hut it would always give a line show-
ing the direction between New York and the
North Pole, which, with a knowledge of the
convergence of the meridians, would allow
of its use for direct comparison with the
compass in any other place, and would thus
everywhere afford the navigator a fixed
direction with which to work. This device
would lie mounted on gimbals, and a card
like a compass-card placed by its side, on
which zero, instead of being the magnetic
north, would be this fixed line established at
tlie poll of departure.
This is not merely a theoretical proposal.
Tests have been undertaken at the instance
of the German naval authorities on board
the warship Undine lasting two days, and
made with a view to determining with what
accuracy the gyroscope shows alterations in
the ship's course, and how well it would
stand violent concussion. To quote again:
On the first day the ship described a large
number of curves to ascertain whether the
instrument would deviate from its original
position, and whether it would accurately
show the angles of alteration in direction.
With the assistance of carefully placed eon-
trolling buoys, no error was detected. On
the contrary, several small errors' in the
position of the buoys were discovered by
means of the gyroscope. A number of man-
euvers were then executed with the machin-
ery and big truns to ascertain the effect of
concussion and vibration. These movements
consisted of sailing at forced draft and then
suddenly reversing the engines, and of firing
shots from the heaviest guns and in such
a position that the gyroscope received the
heaviest shock, so that the severest possible
concussions were brought to bear upon the
instrument. The greatest vibration and con-
cussion that could >h'<-\w on a vessel of the
Undine type were proved to have no effect
whatever on the apparatus.
The gyroscope was then carefully set with
the assistance of a series of buoys, and for
four hours the most eccentric course was
followed. By means of intermediate buoys
and a set destination it was proposed to dis-
cover any possible errors in the indications
of the apparatus during the time of trial.
At the end of this trial no error could be dis-
covered. It. is therefore presumable that,
under less favorable circumstances and in a
longer period, say eight hours, no appreci-
able error could occur which would render
the apparatus unreliable. A comparison of
the gyroscope with the amplitude compass
was then made. Upon comparison with an
accurate deviation tabic, errors up to 1.5
degrees were discovered, apparently attrib-
utable to the gyroscope. The test which was
immediately applied showed, however, that
this was not, the case, but that the co-efficients
of deviation had altered, presumably on ac-
count of the previous severe vibration and
concussion. It was possible, by means of the
gyroscope, to discover errors in the compass.
The result of these tests, our consul re-
in its. was the acknowledgment by disinter-
ested parties that no inaccuracy arises in the
instrument on account of the earth's rota-
tion, that the angles of changes of course are
shown with the greatest exactitude, and that
shocks of vibration which would render a
compass inaccurate or even useless have no
effect upon it. — Literary Digest.
Employment of Children.
I'nited States Consul Muench, of Plauen,
Germany, referring to a former report on cer-
tain new legislation in Germany tending to
prohibit infant labor and exploitation, says
that a sufficient test of the law has been had
to judge of its fruits, and that these are not
regarded very favorably. The consul says :
A sufficient test of the new legislation has
been had to judge of its fruits, and these are
not spoken of in the most enthusiastic strain.
Optimists had believed that infant labor need
only to be forbidden to be also prevented. That
such has not been the result in this instance
is now frankly admitted by the German press.
It is pointed out that while the control of child
employment in factories, restaurants, and all
public or semi-public works presents compara-
tively small difficulty, such control in case of
"home work" becomes well-nigh impossible.
To be sure the inspectors, and other officials
intrusted with the enforcement of this law,
have sought and received the hearty co-opera-
tion of the school authorities in their endeavor
tvi locate cases of absence and their cause;
but hesitancy is naturally felt to practice a
system of espionage upon the movements of
children in their own domicile, and it is opined
that since the home employment of the child
and its consequent withdrawal from the bene-
fits of scholastic instruction is generally caused
either by dire necessity or a willful disregard
of the best interests of the child on the part of
the parent, a close inquiry into the reasons for
non-attendance is more apt to develop a species
of deception and prevarication on the part of
both parent and child than to evoke truthful
statements of the real causes of such absence.
It is feared, also, that a systematic course of in-
vestigation into the private home life of the
child would tend to shake that confidence be-
tween scholar and teacher which is looked up-
on as an element of value in pedagogy.
Serious doubt exists whether the benefits un-
der the new law have not been wholly offset by
its baleful consequences. While it must be
admitted that child labor in the factories has
become easily controllable, it is charged that
the very exclusion of children from these
plants has called into being numerous other
phases of infant labor. Thus, for instance, the
industrial commission at Dantzig reports that
the home workers engaged in doing piecework
for a wooden-ware factory employed not less
Hum 489 children, aged from 6 to 14 years,
at their homes at the work of platting cane for
chair seats. Out of 317 children attending
school. 135, viz, 42 per cent, were set to work
a Iter 8 o'clock p. m. nor did any of them enjoy
their freedom during the recess of two hours
at noon or of one hour in the afternoon. Thus
the inhibition against factory work resulted to
Ihese unfortunates in the opening up of a far
more cruel and deleterious employment.
It is strenuously urged, and w .
son, that in order to fully suppress this evil
it will first of all be requisite to remove the
temptation to this abuse by offering opportun-
ity for parents to keep their young children
at school and to do without the earnings now
exacted from them.
Help is also expected from further legisla-
tion in the direction of curtailing all such
home employment of immature children. Most
of all, though, it is insisted that the induce-
ments to parents toward keeping their minor
children at school during school age should be
greatly increased, and that not only the act lal
ly indigent, but the entire working classes,
should be accorded free schooling for their
children. The end of sociological legislation
is not thought to be fully attained until it
lights the way of childhood, as it even now
smooths the path of old age. Thus it will be
noted that elements are ever active in this
country making for a broadening and deepen-
ing of the national schemes for patriarchal
care of those not wholly able to take care of
themselves, and the day is evidently not far
distant when Germany will be able to boast
of a public school system almost a.s free as our
own.
At the May session of the Paris Academy
of .Medicine a treatise, by Doctor Fournol, rec-
ommending hypodermic injections of sea
water against tuberculosis, attracted much at-
tention. Doctor Fournol, together with anoth-
er physician, has prepared a sea-water serum,
which possesses the property of increasinir the
blood pressure. lie treated twenty-four pa-
tients at a Paris hospital with it. Some of
these suffered from recent tuberculosis of the
lungs, others for old tuberculosis of the bones.
In all cases a distinct improvement was notice-
able in the local as well as in the general
condition. It is stated in German papers that
the results appeared so important to the mem-
bers of the Academy that it was resolved to
notify the tuberculosis commission, so as to
make further experiments.

New YorK Labor Statistics.
The report of the New York State Commis-
sioner of Labor for the quarter ending June
30, 1905, confirms the prevalent opinion that
the present year has so far been a compara-
tively prosperous one in trade and business.
From returns made to the Department from
trade-unions embracing a membership of ap-
proximately 100,000, it is shown that the
average monthly number of unemployed mem-
bers during the quarter was only 151 per 1,-
000, as compared with 202 last year and 168
in 1902. At the beginning of May the num-
ber of idle men among the wage-earners in
the State was only 118 per 1,000, as com-
pared with 153 per 1,000 in 1902, while at
the beginning of July the proportion was 91,
as against 145 in 1902.
The building trades were particularly act-
ive during the quarter. In the months of
April, May and June work was begun on 7,-
316 buildings in New York City, as compared
with 5,164 a year ago. The number of build-
ings completed during the quarter was 4.673,
as compared with 3,455 a year ago. These
figures, however, fail to convey an adequate
idea of the extent of building operations now-
going on in New York City. According to
the report, the estimated cost of projected
buildings for which plans were approved and
permits issued in the second quarter of 1905.
attained the enormous sum of $78,417,896. As
a matter of fact, the cost of buildings project-
ed in the first six months of the present year
in New York City exceeds the cost of these
projected in the entire twelve months of 1902
or 1903. In the other large cities of the
State also building operations are shown by
the report to be well above the average, al-
though, of course, conducted on a much small-
er scale than in New York City. In Buffalo,
for instance, the cost of buildings authorized
in the second quarter of 1905 was $2,370,237 ;
in Rochester $1,846,125, and in Syracuse
$669,263.
On the subject of immigration the report
says, in effect, that because of the close rela-
tions between European working people who
have settled in this country and those abroad,
an unusual demand for labor here is almost
automatically satisfied through the migration
of additional European laborers. To quote
the report:
Thus it is that American prosperity is quickly re-
flected in the statistics of immigration. In the second
quarter of 1905 the number of alien arrivals in the
port of New York broke all records, having attained
the figure of 294,381, as against 202,099 last year, and
274,507 two years ago. The largest contingent of im-
migrants, as usual, comes from South Italy, and now
amounts to a small army — 95,025 persons, or 32 per
cent, of the total. Polish immigration also increased
largely, and assumed the second place with 33,438 ar-
rivals. The Germans, with 20,904 arrivals, maintain
tlic third rank, while the Hebrews (17,285) have
dropped to fourth place from the second place a year
ago. .Scandinavian and Irish immigration is station
• ary, while a large increase appeared in the immigra-
tion of Slovak, Croatian, and Magyar peoples. New
York State received one-third of the immigrants, as
against 41 per cent, a year ago.
Concerning the work done by the State
Bureau of Mediation and Arbitration during
the quarter, the report recounts that fifty-six
labor disputes were settled, as compared with
forty-three in the corresponding period of
1903. One-half (twenty-eight) of the disputes
were the outcomes of strikes for higher
wages, and resulted, in nineteen cases, in the
complete or partial success of the workmen.
The number of employes involved in trade
disputes, however, was only one-third as la rue
as it was a year ago. This, the Commissioner
thinks, is mainly due to the progress of the
joint-trade-agreement system, which substi-
tutes arbitration for industrial warfare.
Commissioner Sherman also reviews the re-
cent strike among the bakers on the Bast Side
of New York City, saying that "the dangers
to the public health threatened by the perpet-
uation of these standards in city bakeshops
illustrate the need of protective legislation
and an adequate force of inspectors." What
these "standards", etc., are like is already
known to the readers of the Journal, and it
may be said here, in passing, that the greatest
benefit derived from the New York bakers'
strike, both to themselves and to the public,
has been the focusing of the attention of the
authorities upon the evils complained of, with
the certainty of remedial legislation. In this,
as well as in all other matters, the report
shows that Commissioner Sherman is a con-
scientious and capable public official.
Miscellaneous.
Our BlviejacKets.
Tin se who remember the extent and nature
of the "shore sprees" indulged in by Ameri-
can man-of-war's-men of the old school are
pleasantly impressed by the decorum shown
by the younger generation of our naval sea-
men while on shore. Commenting upon this
metamorphosis in the manners of American
man-of-war's-men, the New York Herald
says :
It is a joy to the patriotic heart to note the trim,
alert, keen-eyed, sun-browned and self-respecting en-
listed men and youths that constitute our first line of
defense. It was an old and unwarranted reproach
against the representatives afloat of our national
greatness that in the exuberance of rare shore leave
their conduct left much to be desired, and that their
haunts were the purlieus of the port. But this was
never true in any large sense, even in the days of
wooden walls and hearts of oak, when the sailor of
tradition was leniently gauged as a hard-drinking,
hornpipe -dancing, open-handed and reckless son of the
sea. In every ship's company there may have been a
few of this dead and gone type, but those who
shamed their shipmates were least of all typical of an
honest and rigorous trade. The opportunities and re-
wards are too great for any such foolishness, and we
may be sure that the native-borns seen ' ' on liberty ' '
are as worthy of the respect and honor of their fel-
low-citizens as any other class that is adding to the
dignity and progress of our country.
With the exception of "the opportunities
and rewards", what has been said here by the
Herald anent our naval seamen applies equal-
ly well to the seamen of our merchant marine.
Where drunkenness formerly used to be the
rule it is now literally the exception, and in
many other ways improvement may be noted.
Secretary Taft has already begun to un-
load the cargo of Chinese notions which he
brought with him from the Orient, and il is
solemnly pointed out by the press for Cooling
the people all the time that, in consequence,
the President is deeply impressed with the
gravity of the impending crisis in our rela-
tions with China, in so far as it may affect
our future trade with that country, etc., etc.
All of which suggests that humbug is the
spice of life.
The Collector of the Port of New York, on
the 2nd inst., ordered the imposition of a fine
of $5,000 against the master of the French
liner L'Aquitaine for violation of the United
States Passenger Act, in not having the men
and women properly separated in the vessel's
steerage.
Since the last strike of the New York bak-
ers the Health Department of that city has
inspected forty-two Manhattan bakeshops. Of
this number thirty-three were found to be in
such bad shape that they had to be closed
pending repairs which would bring them up
to the standard of sanitation required by the
law.
A "Socialist School" will shortly he estab-
lished in New York City, at a cost of $200,-
000. The primary design is to provide for an
"intellectual center" for the Socialist move-
ment in the United States, and to afford in-
struction to men in the dogmas of Socialism.
Branches will gradually be formed in other
cities. The money for the undertaking comes
from a bequest made by the late .Mrs. E. I).
Rand, whose daughter married Professor
<>'eorge D. Herron, the noted Socialistic prop-
agandist.
To attempt to combat error with any weap-
on other than reason is the greatest error
of all.
Prominent members of the Negro Business
Men's League have taken umbrage at the
term, "a white man's country," as applied to
the United States. Well, if this isn't a white
man's country it must be confessed that it
looks very much that way to one who is not
color blind or standing on the wrong side of
the color line. It will certainly never do to
associate this great and glorious country in
our minds with the appearance of a checker-
board.
The New York Mail Drivers' Union, which
went on strike about a month ago for an in-
crease of wages, shorter hours, and overtime
pay, won what it struck for. A four-year
agreement has been signed by the representa-
tives of the Union and the New York Mail
Company, by the terms of which the men will
receive an increase of wages of twenty-five
cents per day for drivers of double teams, fif-
teen cents for single teams, twenty-live cents an
hour for overtime, a vvorkingday to consist of
twelve hours, including one hour for dinner.
This will make the pay of the drivers of
double teams $2.25 per day, and of one-horse
drivers $1.65 per day. The agreement is dat-
ed September 30, 1905, and expires on the
same date in 1909.
The Jersey City Printing Company has
brought suit for $100,000 damages against
Typographical Union No. 94. The trouble
began about a month ago, when the employes
of the Company, all members of Typographic-
al Union No. 94, made a demand for an eight-
hour day, which was refused. The employes
thereupon quit work and were replaced by
non-union men, but the C pany now alleges
that the members of Typographical Union No.
94 enticed the non-union men away from the
Company, thereby inflicting great pecuniary

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Pacific Coast Marine,
The schooner Tartar was sold at San Francisco on
October 12 by the United States Marshal for $220.
Richard A. Sehmalle was the purchaser.
Captain Casey reports that the Stanley Dollar, re-
cently stranded on the Japanese coast, is a total loss.
The wreck has been sold for $13,500.
The British four-masted barkentine Renfield, 123
days out from London for Fremantle, and for some
time quoted at 5 per cent for reinsurance, is reported
to have reached her destination in safety.
The contract for repairing the Canadian Govern-
ment steamer Quadra, which was ashore near Raci
Rocks, iias been awarded to the Victoria Machinery
depot. The work will cost about $10,000.
The French bark Leon XIII, reported on October 3,
as having put into Montevideo in distress, broke her
rudder at sea and will be surveyed and repaired. It
may not be necessary to discharge the cargo.
Another libel was begun against the towboat George
R. Bailey on October 4 in the United States District
Court at San Francisco. James A. Thomson sues for
$241, alleged as due for material and towing.
The steamer Argo, which had been stranded at the
mouth of the Eel River, Cal., since October 8, was
floated on the 10th. The vessel, which was undam-
aged, was towed to the dock at Port Kenyon.
The British bark Antiope, which was seized by the
Japanese, has been declared a prize. The Antiope
sailed from San Francisco on June 21 for Nicolaevsk
and was seized by the Japanese in the Gulf of Sag-
halien on August 13.
A contract has been arranged between the under-
writers and a well-known shipping man for the salving
of the cargo, fittings and everything detachable, and,
it' possible, the hull, of the steamer St. Paul, which
went on the rocks near Point Gorda, Cal., recently.
The Norwegian steamer Reidar is on her way to the
Coast from the Orient, and will be used upon arrival
by the Western Fuel Company in the coal trade be-
tween Puget Sound ports and San Francisco in con-
junction with the Titania, Tellus and Terje Viken.
Major William Glassford, in charge of the United
States cable office at Seattle, Wash., has inaugurated
a private marine exchange, which will report the ar-
rival and departure of every steamer that touches at
an Alaskan port.
Four large steamers, sailing on October 2 and 3, for
Nome, Alaska, will race to see which can reach Behr-
ing Sea first, land their freight and get away. The
vessels are the steamers Oregon, Victoria, Senator and
Leelanaw.
The barkentine Archer, from Honolulu, arrived at
San Francisco on October 8, in the fast time of thir-
teen days. Her passage from Hawaii is remarkably
good. Most of the sugar vessels have been consuming
three weeks or more on the trip.
The bark Roderick Dim, for years plying regularly
in the Island sugar trade, has been chartered to carry
wheat from Tacoma or Portland to San Francisco at
a rate of $2 a ton. She is chartered for three voyages,
and is to be towed along the Coast.
The schooner Oakland arrived at Astoria, Or., on
October 7, under her own canvas, but flying a signal of
distress. She was out sixteen days from San Fran-
cisco, but on account of lack of a tow and inclement
weather was unable to make Tillamook bar.
Captain John Bermingham, Supervising Inspector
for this District, has received orders from Secretary
Metcalf, through George Uhler, head of the Steam-
boat Inspection Service, to begin at once a reinspec-
tion of all the steamers in service within his juris-
diction.
The British bark Kirkhill, bound from Newcastle,
England, for San Francisco, has been lost near Cape
Horn. The telegram received on October 3, from Lou
don reported that the vessel had struck on Wolf Bock
and foundered. All on board were saved and taken to
Stanley, Falkland Islands.
The Oceanic liner Alameda has made temporary re-
pairs and docked to discharge the remainder of her
cargo. It is believed that the vessel will be able to
resume her service within two months or less. The
cost of her repairs, roughly estimated, will amount to
about $60,000.
The steamer Tees, at Vancouver, B. C, on October
13, from the North, reports the finding of dead cattle,
boat's gear and a life-buoy without any lettering at
the Christie Passage. One of the worst storms ever
experienced up the Coast had been raging for twenty-
four hours.
At a meeting of the freight bureau of the Northern
Pacific Asiatic line, held at Seattle, Wash., on October
12 it was decided to increase the rate on Hour ship
meats to the Orient 50 cents on the ton. Conrmencing
January 1 the rate will be $4.50, instead oi $4. The
rate to Shanghai will be $5. , . , , ,
Captain Arthur H. Scott of the bark Gerard C.
Toby, was reinstated to citizenship by Judge Kerrigan
in the Superior Court at San Francisco on October 11.
Captain Scott was recently compelled to surrender Ins
citizenship papers and master's license on account ot
irregularities in his naturalization.
Captain H. T. Payne had his license as master sus-
pended thirty days by Supervising Inspector ('apt am
John Bermingham at San Francisco on October LO, as
a result of the collision between the steam schooner
Del Norte, of which Payne was master, and a South-
ern Pacific car float, on September 21.
Changes of masters reported at San Francisco on
October 12 included W. Kidston, in the steamer Costa
Rica, vice C. Randall; Captain W. B. Seabury, vice A.
Zeeder, in the steamer Korea; A. Reed vice H. U
Pavne, in the steamer Del Norte; L. A. lose,,, < u
Wenkel, in the steamer Alcazar; M. Mikkclscn, vice
J. F. Chlemens, in the steamer Confianza.
Frank Turner and John B. Wolters have been ap-
pointed Assistant Inspectors of Steam Vessels at
Seattle, Wash. Mr. Wolters has been chief engineer
of the steamer Umatilla for the past eight years and
resigned his position on that steamer to accept li is ap-
pointment. He will be succeeded by Peter Sheppard,
first-assistant engineer of the Umatilla.
The bark Nicholas Thayer is safe. She sailed from
San Francisco some months ago for Nome, and her
failure to arrive al the Alaskan port caused some
anxiety. On October 11 a report was received thai the
Thayer had arrived at Paget Sound, after a voyage to
Alaska. The Thayer did not go as far north as Nome,
and for this reason was not reported by steamers lately
returning from the mining camp.
The license of H. F. McMullen, chief engineer of the
Pacific Mail liner Newport, has been suspended for
ninety days by the Local Inspectors Bulger and Bolles.
Complaint against McMullen was brought by Captain
W. J. Russell, of the Newport, who alleged that Mc-
Mullen had been guilty of insubordination and intoxi-
cation while on duty. The decision of Bolles and Bul-
ger states that the charge of intoxication is not sirs
tained.
Japanese Consul S. Ilisamidzu at Seattle, Wash., on
October 12 presented a medal for bravery to Captain
Conrad R. Larsen of the American bark Eclipse. The
presentation was made on behalf of the Japanese Em-
peror for saving the lives of two survivors of a fishing
sloop, lost off the Japanese coast a year ago. Captain
Larsen, then in command of the bark William F.
Garms, picked up the two survivors 150 miles off the
Japanese coast, the day following the wreck.
There were numerous additions on October 5 to the
list of overdue vessels, but no high rates of reinsur-
ance were quoted on any of them. The Italian ship
Orealla, which had been on the board for some time
at a rate of lo per cent, was reported to have arrived,
after a passage id' 142 days from Jiinin to Rotterdam.
The additions to the list include the British ship Dean-
mount, French bark Ville de Mulhouse, Wulfrau Puget
and British bark Renfield.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on October l(i: German bark Edmund, 144
days from Port Talbot for [quique, 35 per cent.
French bark St. Donatien, 144 days from Bordeaux for
Adelaide, 10 per cent. British bark Principality, 165
days from Junin for Rotterdam, 90 per cent. British
bark Kilmallie, 147 days from Shields for Tacoma, 10
per cent. Italian ship Affezione, IIS days from Bahia
Blanca for Stockholm, England, 25 per cent. British
bark Forteviot, 14fi days from Shields for San Fran
cisco, 2o per cent. French bark Duchesse de Berry,
1S3 days from Swansea for San Francisco, 15 per cent.
Captain Casey, who was in command of the steamer
Stanley Dollar when she went ashore on the Japanese
coast on September <>, arrived in San Francisco on Oc-
tober 13. According to the finding of the naval court
investigating the stranding of the Stanley Dollar, it
was found that she struck an isolated and sunken
rock two and one-half miles east-southeast from Hachi-
man, and, having been seriously damaged, was floated
as soon as possible and taken to Kawadzu village,
where she was finally abandoned by the crew on Sep-
tember 18. It appears from the evidence that Captain
Casey was entirely blameless in striking the uncharted
rock.

A report of the British Board of Trade on
strikes and lockouts in the United Kingdom
in the year 1904 has just been published. It
shows that 354 labor disputes were recorded
during the year, involving about 87,-
000 work people, or less than one per
cent of the industrial population of
the country, exclusive of agricultural laborers
and seamen. The disputes, old and new,
which were presented for arbitration and set-
tlement in 1904, resulted in the loss of about
1,450,000 working days. Mori; than two-fifths
of the disputes arose in the mining and
quarrying industries. Taking the whole
industrial population into consideration, the
time lost by these disputes amounted during
the year to only about one-seventh of a day
for each employe. The average annual num-
ber of labor disputes in the five years from
1899 to 1903 was 568. The average number
of work people affected was 184,000, and the
average duration of the disputes was 3,125,000
days. In the five preceding years, from 1894
to 1898, the average annual number of dis-
putes was 835; the average number of work
people affected, 254,000, and the average dur-
ation of the disputes 8,927,000 days.
The principal cause of the labor difficulties
in 1904, as in previous years, was the wage
question. There was a smaller number oi'
persons affected by disputes last year over
working arrangments and through the re-
fusal to work with non-union men than in the
preceding year. The number of labor disputes
in 1904 was far less than the annual average
for the decade from 1894 to 1903, while the
number of work people affected by these
disputes in 1904 was about one-third of the
average number affected from 1894 to 1898,
and less than one-half of the average number
affected from 1899 to 1903.
There are many unemployed in Great Brit-
ain at the present time, and great unrest pre-
vails amongst cotton workers because of
dissatisfaction with the scale of wages paid,
but misunderstandings between employers
and employes seem to be diminishing and to
be more readily adjusted. Whether or not this
is merely a passing phase of the labor situa-
tion in the United Kingdom or an indication
of growing good will between the employers
and the wage-earners can only be determined
by future developments.
Scientific circles in Winnipeg, Canada, are
interested in the discovery of a process for
welding copper, which has been made by a
local blacksmith. It is said fhe process has
been thoroughly tested and found perfect, and
that copper can be welded to copper or to
other metals without impairing the electrical
conductivity and other properties of the metal.
The process is said to be very simple and no
more costly than the Avoiding of steel. The
work can be done with a forge, blowpipe, or
any apparatus which will heat the metal
cherry red. Patents have been applied for in
(he United States and Canada.
The Indian Government has prepared plans

amortization, for which purpose a fax on jute
and on real estate is to be levied.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.
The attempt to commit the British trade
unionists to compulsory arbitration was again
defeated by the r nl Trade-Union Congress,
the proceedings of which arc noted elsewhere
in this issue. The proposition was defeated
by a majority of 92,000 votes. Last year the
majority against compulsory arbitration was
486,000, in a total vote slightly smaller than
that recorded in the present instance. The
falling off in the majority opposed to the plan
in question does not indicate a corresponding
change of sentiment in favor of the plan; on
the contrary, it merely indicates a willingness
that those who favor compulsory arbitration
shall have an opportunity to test its alleged
virtues in their own case, without danger to
other organizations. The fact that even this
compromise with the proposition failed of
adoption is a very significant illustration of
the conviction that prevails in Great Britain
against the proposition to settle (?) the labor
question by a process of judicial suppression.
From our European exchanges we learn
dial tin' plan of compulsory arbitration in-
troduced in the recent Congress provided For
the establishment of that system under condi-
tions which would make it applicable only to
such labor organizations as might agree be-
forehand to be governed by it. Such a pro-
posal is safe and reasonable on the surface,
but only on the surface. The avowed purpose
of compulsory arbitration is to stop strikes.
With that primary purpose in view the ad-
ministrators of the system have ruled that
compulsory arbitration laws must be so con-
strued and administered as to prevent the pos-
sibility of strikes occurring through the
failure of any organization to become party
to the law. Thus we find, as in Australia and
New Zealand, the "common rule," under
which an award rendered in the case of a
single organization is made applicable to all
the workers in the trade, and the law pro-
vides that a few men may form a union and
register under the law, thus establishing a
dual union, the effect and purpose of which is
to force the original and bona fide organiza-
tion into compliance with the decisions of the
compulsory arbitration court. Doubtless the
Miners and others who opposed the compro-
mise plan in the British Trade-Union Con-
gress were aware of these dangers and realized
that compulsory arbitration, once established,
is certain to be applied to all and sundry, will-
ing: and unwilling.
For a conclusive illustration of the manner
in Avhich the "common rule" operates against
the interests of legitimate trade-unionism we
need but look to Australia, the country to
which the compulsory-arbitrationist is wont
to refer in justification of his hopes. In New
South Wales we find the Australian Workers'
(Shearers) Union, once the most powerful or-
ganization in the Colonies, compelled to assume
a defensive attitude, and, in fact, to accept
a non-union rate of wages, as a result of the
creation (by the employers) of a dual union
and an award of wages based upon the non-
unionists' (this is, the employers) proposals.
The award thus rendered was made a "com-
mon rule," and the union shearers were forc-
ed to relinquish a winning strike and accept
work at the non-union rate. Thus the Austra-
lian Workers' Union received a blow from
which it has not yet recovered. The organiza-
tion in question publicly acknowledged that
the law which had been designed for its bene-
fit, and for the existence of which it was
largely responsible, had operated to its serious
injury ; further, that, instead of bringing about
peace it had created strife. There are not want-
ing numerous instances of a like kind, which.
despite the evident determination in many
quarters, especially in official quarters, to pu1
the best possible face upon the matter, dem-
onstrate a growing dissatisfaction with the
system and forecast its ultimate repudiation.
Certain of these instances have been cited in
these columns from time to time. Another in-
stance in point occurs in a current issue of the
Brisbane (Queenland) Worker, a leading
Australian labor paper, as follows:
it unjustifiable ami uncalled-fur wage-reducing
awards by the West Australian Arbitration Court have
thoroughly disgusted the workers in that State, who
have lost all confidence in that body, as at present
(•(instituted. In union circles the Court is universal];.
regarded as " the weapon in the hands of employers."
In the light of these developments the ac-
tion of our British fellow-unionists is a lu-
minous example of the wisdom that follows the
fact !
The views expressed in another column by
'The Doctor", touching the treatment ac-
corded the men of the steward's departmenl
on the wrecked steamer St. Paul, will be ap
proved by all disinterested persons. AVe would
point out, however, that our correspondent s
suggestion that the legal responsibility of the
shipowner toward the crew ends with the loss
of the vessel, is an error. The shipowner's legal
responsibility continues until the shipwrecked
crew are returned to a home port and paid off.
The idea of abandoning shipwrecked men im-
mediately they are cast ashore is repugnant to
the sense of humanity, and. what is more to
I he point, it is clearly a violation of the law.
Referring to Captain Taylor's proposal for
tie establishment of a trainin<?-ship, as con-
tained in that gentleman's communication in
this issue, it is to be hoped that those who
favor the plan outlined will take into consid-
eration the facts concerning the previous ven-
ture of the kind in San Francisco. Experi-
ence is a school that even the wise man may
go to occasionally, with profit to himself ami
others.
Brigadier-General Funston, commanding
the Department of California, in his annual
report notes the large number of desertions
from the Army, and discusses the cause and
remedy therefor, as follows:
One of the causes is the pool pay received by the
enlisted man. as compared with the wages he ear earn
in civil employment. It is not fair to compare his
pay with that received by soldiers in the sane
in foreign countries where military service is compul-
sory. There military service is a duty to be rendered
to the State, pay or no pay. Comparison may lie in
cited to the lower pay received by the English soldier,
as his service is not compulsory. However, while his
pay is less than the pay of our soldiers, it bears about
the same relation to his wage-earning capacity as decs
the pay of our soldier to his wage-earning capacity.
But the English are having more trouble getting good
men than we are, and one of the remedies mrgi
their Parliament is increase of pay.
Desertion is not so common in the English army as
in ours because public opinion in that, country con-
demns the crime and public opinion in America does
not.
Our army is an army of volunteers. If we want to
obtain a better class of men to enlist than we are now
securing, a better rate of pay is the first inducement
that should be offered.
General Funston is to be congratulated up-
on having touched the core of the subject, i. e.,
the comparison between the man's wage-earn-
ing capacity as a soldier and as a citizen.
The General's observations apply not only to
the soldier, but also to the seaman, and not
only to the naval seaman, but also to the mer-
chant seaman. In the long run, the question
of wages determines men's choice of service,
in the Army, the Navy, the merchant marine.
or in any other vocation. Considering the
natural, not to mention the acquired disad-
vantages of life in the Army and Navy, the
wages in these services must be higher than
Ihose paid for ordinary labor, in order to di-
vert men from the latter field. General Funs-
ton's reasoning is sound and his suggestion
practical. We only wish that Congress might
be prevailed upon to adopt a measure so sim-
ple, and yet so comprehensive.
Sacrifices are sometimes necessary to install
great precautions. A thousand perished miserably in
the Iroquois Theatre fire in Chicago, but millions have
been safer by the lesson taught by that awful disaster.
So the men of the Maine, Bennington and Mikasa have
• 1 in vain if the naval powers of the world are
taught the need of forethought in safeguarding their
ships against such appalling sacrifices. — San Francisco
Call.
The Call's philosophy is very comforting,
provided it isn't scrutinized too closely. The
"if" in this instance is a very suggestive one.
The defect in our contemporary's philosophy
lies in the fact that the "awful disaster"
teaches nothing to those responsible therefor;
they make a great deal of fuss, and then "for-
get it." The "awful disaster" is usually the
result, not of any lack of forctln night, but of
downright indifference, combined with greed
or false economy, and no amount of sacrifice,
on other people's part, will cure the trouble.
The sacrifice of a few of the persons primarily
responsible for the "awful disaster" might
prove more to the point. Such a sacrifice
would appall certain persons who seem most
in need of that sensation. Of course, under
the circumstances of its being, the San Fran*
cisco Call can not be expected to go as far as
I his. The most successful newspaper philos-
ophy is that which stops short of including
the newspaper proprietor.
When we reflect upon the dangers of
compulsory arbitration we can not but be
grateful to our Australian fellow-unionists for
having offered themselves as a "horrible ex-
ample
If the signs be not deceptive the day is not
far distant in which the Australian and
British trade-unionists will lead the United
States in the demand for the union label.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Shipwrecked Men Deserted. ' Training-Ship Proposed.
The San Francisco Call, of October 7, pub-
lished a dispatch from Eureka, relative to the
shipwrecked crew of the steamer St. Paul,
which, in part, is as follows:
Of the people on board the St. Paul only the help in
the steward's department suffered. The company re-
fused to provide hotel accommodations for the cooks
and waiters, and they were left to rustle beds and
food the best they could. Neither would the steward
pay them the wages due them. He said he had orders
to provide only for the passengers. The officers of the
St. Paul are comfortably quartered at the Hotel Vance.
The St. Paul was, I believe, controlled or
operated by the Pacific Mail interests, one of
the great companies which are striving tooth
and nail to obtain a subsidy from the Federal
Government, and this is how they treat the
American seaman ! Assuming that the re-
sponsibility of the Company ended with the
loss of the vessel, common humanity would
have dictated a more liberal policy. From all
that can be learned from press dispatches and
from statements made by passengers, the help
of the steward's department were not derelict
in their duties, but, on the contrary, con-
ducted themselves as becomes American sea-
men in the strenuous times subsequent to the
stranding of the vessel. And this is their re-
ward, to be left destitute, far from their
home port, and refused even the meager pit-
tance that they had more than earned, thus
being compelled to throw themselves upon the
charity of strangers. We are often asked,
"Why does not the American boy go to sea?"
The reasons arc self-evident.
This is not the first time that the steward's
department of the Harriman line has suffer-
ed. The case of the steamer George W. Elder
is a parallel one. Stranded in the Columbia
River, the boys had to support themselves,
and only after repeated telegrams to the gen-
eral manager were they given a steerage pas-
sage to San Francisco.
Such matters are not conducive to the birth
of that era of good feeling between shipown-
ers and their employes for which we are all
expectantly waiting, but engender ill-will
and a feeling akin to hatred. The writer
knew the general manager in his "salad days,"
as a junior officer in the United States Navy,
when he was thought to be a pretty good sort
of chap ; and it seems hardly possible that he
has so degenerated as to be oblivious of the
wellbeing of the men in his employ and per-
mit them to become objects of public charity,
to the shame of the Company and himself.
These are the facts, and the writer trusts
lliat Mr. Schwerin will disavow the actions of
his subordinates, or the writer will blush with
shame that the one here referred to ever trod
the decks of that glorious old tub, the Wyo-
ming. The Doctor.

Considered as a clear case of "making a
virtue of necessity," the Japanese are en-
titled to credit for waiving their demands for
indemnity. Considered as a voluntary act in
the interest of "humanity and civilization,"
the Japs are entitled to no more credit for
their diplomatic backdown than is the burglar
who doesn't touch the "stuff" because he
can't open the safe in which it is contained.
Those newspaper editors who are now slob-
bering over the Japs, attributing to them all
the virtues of Heaven, will some day awake to
a realization of their own contemned folly.

Editor Coast Xeamkn 's, Jouhnal: I address
you on the subject of a nautical school-ship
for American youths desiring to become sea-
men, with the ultimate object of becoming
masters and officers of American vessels, eith-
er steam or sail. The States of New York and
Pennsylvania support the training ships St.
Marys and Saratoga, respectively, on which
young men are trained for the merchant ma-
rine at the expense of the States. The Pacific
Coast has not one training-ship, but instead,
the American boy, if he wishes to become a
seaman and a navigator must, if he can get
a chance, serve as a deckboy, swabbing paint,
washing decks, or driving a winch. After be-
coming an A. B. he takes a smattering of
navigation in a nautical school on shore, where
he is crammed or stuffed with a few rules to
enable him to pass the examination before the
United States Inspectors of Steam and Sail
Vessels. It is hardly necessary to remark that
knowledge of the profession of a seaman and
navigator acquired in such a happy-go-lucky
manner hardly fits a young man for the great
responsibility of commanding one of our mod-
ern vessels. As to the plan for establishing
a training-ship, I suggest the following:
Acquire a vessel by proper representation,
through responsible shipping men. No doubt
one of the old, obsolete Navy frigates could be
procured from the Navy Department. The
old Marion would do nicely; the engines could
be taken out and the deck closed. This would
■jive plenty of room for the sleeping quarters,
mess rooms, lavatories, and school-room for
studies, etc. The Marion has a sufficient num-
ber of yards, masts and good ground tackles,
which could be utilized for drill purposes.
The vessel could be anchored at Tiburon, or
near Sausalito.
The course of training would consist of
swimming, boxing, wrestling, boat-sailing,
boat-pulling, seamanship, rigging, setting and
taking in of sail, sending up and down masts
and yards, mathematics, navigation and nau-
tical astronomy, maritime law, ship's business,
itc A board of directors consisting of three
representative shipowners or managers should
be appointed from among our local business
men. Financial secretary, treasurer and
faculty to be appointed by board of directors.
If the school should be conducted at the ex-
pense of the State it could be made to pay all
expenses, providing the students were charged
a1 the rale of $300 per year. Students to be
led for the above stun, but clothing, books,
etc., to be charged extra.
It will no doubt be understood that this
letter is only a synopsis of the plan, so I shall
be pleased to be interviewed by responsible
parties. I sincerely hope that the State or
shipping community will take up the matter,
if not I may try it alone, should I secure the,
moral backing of the shipping interests on the
Pacific Coast. Respectfully,
Henry Taylor,
Principal Taylor's Nautical Academy.

SinKing of the Tuthill.
Our man is believed to have losl his life as
the result of the sinking of the tug Fannie
Tut hill by an unknown strainer in Lake St.
Clair near the canal on October 1. Captain
Adair was penned in the pilot-house by escap
ing steam from the broken pipes and was
badly burned about the upper body before he
could escape through the window.
Fireman Harry Burr proved himself a
hero by springing into the hold of the sinking
craft and dragging three of the sleeping crew
on deck before their boat was under water.
After the accident the colliding steamer left
the scene at once, but the steamers Mariposa
and G. II. Russel succeded in picking up all
but one. This man, whose name is not known.
left the life-raft to swim to the City of Toledo
and was not seen afterward. Seven of the
crew were landed at Detroit from the .Mari-
posa and the Russel brought down six. Most
of the men were workmen on the dredges of
M. Babbitt & Son which are now working at
the Flats canal.
For a time the smokestack of the tug pro
jected above the water and in the hour be-
tween the time of the collision and the rescue
two of the crew. Harry Burr and Prank
Murphy, were perched in safety on the edge
of the stack- with their feet dangling inside.
Two others clung to a keg, while tin remain-
der of the crew had taken to the small boat
and life-rafts.
It is reported that the steamer I). C. Whit-
ney was the colliding boat, and this is
strengthened by the fad that she had a big
temporary patch on the port bow when she
passed down the following day. The tug was
struck almost squarely on the bow and sank
quickly.
As the sunken tug is lying in the channel,
across Lake St. Clair, vessel masters are in-
structed to use great caution in passing.
Colonel Davis, United States district engineer,
has taken a steamer to move the wreck.
The sunken tug lies aboul 1,000 feel belovi
the gas buoy in the dredged channel nf the
Lake and is directly in the way of passing
vessels. The wreck was si ruck on the 2nd by
the steamer Bransford. The Tut hill is own-
ed by John P. Nagel, of Toledo, and under
charter to M. Babbitt & Suns, contractors,
now at work on the St. Clair Flats canal.
The keel for the new car-ferry for Lake
Erie service will be laid al the St. Clair
yards of the Great Lakes Engineering works.
A lii'j- steel dredge bcow is now building there
for Dunbar & Sullivan, and work on the ear-
ferry will be started as soon as this craft is
launched.
Lieutenant Commander J. M. Orchard, In-
spector of the Ninth Lighthouse District, lias
notified mariners that the lighl vessel on
Gray's Reef, temporarily withdrawn from tin
station for repairs, has been replaced.
The lighting of the Well and Canal by elec-
tricity to permit the free movement of vessels
at night has been tried and has proved fairly
satisfactory. It has cost the Dominion Gov-
ernment $100,000 to install the plant.
WrecKing the Maritana.
A large factor in the release of the steel
Trust steamer .Maritana from the rocks near
Detour was the use of air compressors. And
the most effective of the three air compri
in operation was an eleven-inch rotary pump
changed into a compressor. The Detroit Free
Press says:
The idea of making an air compressor out
of a rotary pump, for wrecking operations,
was conceived sometime since, but almost the
first successful test of the project was made in
releasing the Maritana this week.
At the point where the suction-coupling is
made in the rotary, Chief Engii r Simmons.
of thewrecker Favorite,one ofthemosl practi-
cal men in his line on the Lakes, succeeded in
Fitting on a hood of considerable length, which
tapered from eleven inches dow a to two inches.
With this arrangement he was able to develop
a pressure of ten to fifteen pounds. The
rotary pump was then connected with the
sounding hole in the tank top, which is used
in determining the depth of water in the water
bottom of the Vessel. When the connection
was completed and the pump started, the wat-
er bottom was speedily freed of water, and it
was an easy matter to keep it free. Engineer
Simmons who was asked about the matter by
Captain C. 11. Sinclair, representative of the
underwriters, maintains that the converted ro-
tary was more effective than the air compres-
sors.
When the regular air compressors and the
"converted" machine were put into operation
the vessel was raised a foot in shorl order. As
she rested on the bottom Hie freighter was
comparatively free from a point beginning
about 100 feet back from the bow. and was
also unhampered aft. She seemed to lie rest-
ing on rocks at the point mentioned, a
hundred feet back from the bow. When the
compressors went into action the three tugs
and three steamers also got busy. The Mari-
tana simply had to come off the rocks.
The only similar case where a rotary was
"converted" is said to have been the job done
by Captain -lames Reid, of Port Huron, in re-
leasing the John Sineaton. near Marquette, a
lew years aeo.
Re-Inspection of Steamers.
Toledo vesselmen regard the steamer Pasa-
dena as being hoodooed. On September 15
(he steamer sank in Green Bay. After being
raised she narrowly escaped going down
again on Lake Huron on her way to Lake
Erie. Upon reaching Detroit River she
grounded twice. Arriving there the boat
went into drydock to get fixed up again and
celebrated her return to business by ramming
Cherry Street bridge. These injuries are not
especially serious and repairs will not be
made until she reaches Chicago, but the city
has a bill of $2,000 to present to her owners
for damage to the bridge.
Inquiries are being received in Detroit \\<r
Storage room \'ov Canadian wheat in bond,
and it is likely that a large quantity will be
unloaded there by vessels this fall. The enor-
mous crops of the Canadian Northwest will
sorely fax elevator capacity, which is causing
shippers and agents to look around for storage
space.
A reinspection of all steamers in the Unit-
ed States was ordered on September 26, by the
Department of Commerce and Labor, in a
letter which Secretary Metcalf directed to
George Uhler, Supervising Inspector General
if flic Steamboat Inspection Service. No
genera) inspection has been had since the
revision of rules made in May to harmonize
i hem with laws passed by the last Congress,
following the General Slocum disaster at New
York.
The Secretary's letter to Mr. Uhler follows:
"In order that I may be fully advised of
the result of the application if the revise!
rules and regulations of the Steamboat Inspec-
tion Service, and with a view of as-
CCrtaining whether the Supervising Inspect-
ors .if the various districts, together with the
heal force under their supervision, have car-
ried out all the requirements of the law and
the rules and regulations of the Department
based thereon, you arc directed to order,
through tic Supervising Inspectors of the
various districts, a reinspection, so far as may
he possible, of all the steamers in the different
districts.
The execution of this order will be left to
you. When this reinspection is completed, you
will please make a detailed reporl to me. giv-
ing, among ether things, the names of any
Supervising Inspector or Local Inspectors, if
any, in whose district the boats are found to
be below (he required standard of efficiency.
It is requested thai you order this rein-
spection at oi ."
The Supervising Inspector General at once
issued orders to the Supervising Inspectors of
the various districts direct ing them to proceed
immediately to carry out Secretary Metcalf's
instructions. The Inspectors were told that
they were expected pa rt icula rly to examine
the life-preservers and fire-hose, and to witness
fire drills on the vessels.
Referring to a recent note in these columns
concerning the youthfulness of the master of
the steamer Sharpless. a correspondent writes
that Captain Charles Rattray, of the steamer
Homer Warren, is twenty-six years of age;
Captain Thomas E. Goodwin, who sailed the
Nicaragua in 190T-1904. beca master of
that vessel when twenty-seven years of age;
Captain Scott B. Worden, now master of the
Northern Light, took his first command in
1902, at the age of twenty-seven years. The
two first-named masters bail from Port Hu-
ron,, Mich., and the last-named from 9fc
Clair, Midi.

The steamer Arundel, of Buffalo, has been
chartered by Detroit parties and will be used
in the fruit trade during the remainder of
the season. Captain Armstrong commands
her.
The demands of the "top men" on the
docks of the South Shore line at Marquette
have been granted and the men returned to
their work. The advance is ten cents an
hour.
Captain S. J. Milieu has resigned as mas-
ter of the Steel Trust barge Fritz, and is suc-
ceeded by Captain J. R. Parker, of the steam-
er Maritana, which was recently ashore near
Detour.
Frank Johnson, a seaman forty-six years
of age, was seriously, if not fatally, hurt re-
cently at Milwaukee by falling from the mast-
to the deck of the steamer Mauch Chunk.
Johnson's home is in Buffalo.
Captain Bongard of the steamer Turbinia,
whose license was suspended for nine months
by the commission which investigated 'the

Indiana avenue, Toledo. He was formerly
mate of the schooner Edwards, which vessel
he left on August 20 to ship on the lost schoon-
er.
The schooner Challenge, of Manitowoc,
was towed into Menominee recently badly
waterlogged. She was bound from Detroit
harbor to Green Bay and ran aground on
Peshtigo Reef, being raised after jettisoning
part of the cargo of cordwood.
By means of photographs taken before in-
terment in the cemetery at L'Anse, Mich., Mr.
and Mrs. Elijah Hough, of Saginaw, have
identified their son, Benjamin A. Hough, as
one of those lost on the steamer Iosco, in the
storm on Lake Superior last month.
The Board of Service at Lorain has taken
the first step toward keeping the river free
of ice this winter. A tug will be maintained
there for the purpose of breaking the ice and
invitations have been sent out to vesselowners
to lay up their boats at Lorain for winter
repairs.
The old steamer Peerless, recently pur-
chased by L. B. Clark, of Chicago, at United
States Marshal's sale, has again changed
hands. The new purchaser is Thomas B.
Banner, who represents a new corporation
which intends to operate a line to St. Joseph,
Mich.
The recent shooting of Captain Matthew
Ross, master of the schooner B. W. Parker, on
Lake Superior by William McQuinn, a mem-
ber of the crew, was accidental. McQuinn was
exonerated by a coroner's jury at an inquest
held on board the Parker at Marquette. The
two men were shooting at sparrows at the
time of the fatality.

loss upon the concern. The summons was
made returnable before Justice Gummere, at
Trenton, N. J., on October 10. Justice Gnm-
mere, it may be remembered, is the magistrate
who about a year ago gained a national, al-
beit rather unpleasant, notoriety by assessing
the value of a child's life at $1, in a damage
suit brought by the child's parenta against a
railroad corporation. Notwithstanding this
fact, the members of Typographical Union
No. 94 regard the damage suit of the Jersey
City Printing Company as more bluff than
anything else.
The plot begins to thicken ! It is now
credibly asserted that Japan would welcome
legislation by the United States to keep out
Japanese immigrants from this country, pro-
vided it can be done in a manner that would
not be offensive to Japan or affect her dignity.
After that, it is almost a foregone conclusion
that our friends, the trusts, Avill insist on the
immediate enactment of a sufficiently "of-
fensive" Japanese Exclusion bill to cause the
Japanese Government to demand "modifica-
tions" such as the Chinese Government is
now seeking to effect in cur Chinese Exdu
sion Act.
The recent clubbing of laborers in Colon
because they would not go to work on the
Canal was an object lesson which should ef-
fectually silence those unpatriotic scoffers
who affirm that our home brand of civilization
does not necessarily follow the flag. YVhal
more vivid illustration of our peculiar form
of civilization could be wished for than the
spectacle of a number of defenseless laborers
unwilling to work being clubbed into submis-
sion by a squad of ' ' cops ? ' '
Any plan of government which makes no
allowance for the natural inequalities among
men in the matters of strength and talents is
bound to fail, for only those governments can
endure under which strength and talents are
encouraged to rise above mediocrity.
The average reformer has less patience with
those who believe a part of his creed than with
those who deny the whole of it. And it must
be admitted that an ingrained mugwump is
enough to ruffle anybody's temper.
It is the sad privilege of some minds to he
permitted to clearly see and anticipate a
brighter order of things for humanity, while
knowing that they themselves will not live to
enjoy it.
No man can be happy who does not sym-
pathize with the happiness of others, and do
man can be wise who does not profit from the
mistakes and follies of others.
A great part of Andrew Furuseth's Labor
Day address was quoted and approvingly com-
mented upon by the labor editor of the New
York Evening Journal.
Demand the union label on all products.
Fag Ends.
Liberty, to be well enjoyed, must be well
deserved.
The recent disclosures in high life insurance
show why the course of a straight Corrupt
Practices bill never yet did run smooth
through a crooked Legislature.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall!
No emotion stirs an envious soul like watch-
ing tile BU( ss of others.
Pride makes a fool ridiculous hut prevents
a wise man from becoming so.
A virtuous soul with wisdom armed was
never yet by evil harmed.
No man is so good that he feels had when
he hears his enemies abused.
'Tis had to die without a mourner, yet
worse to live without a friend.
Where rules conflict with common sense,
let common sense decide the issue.
There is but one pursuit in life that pays;
to find, 1 then to follow-. Virtue's ways.
That man. indeed, '•needs little here bc-
>w" who is respected by both friend and foe.
Weak is the truth 1 hat rests but on the
fame which hoary Time has lent to some great
name.
The worshipers of the Golden Calf may
justly be proud of the fact that there is not
a single hypocrite among them.
Where an improbable truth may find a few
lukewarm believers a plausible falsehood will
sometimes deceive a whole nation.
Who can compute the total cost of all the
time that has been losl by men who seek re-
lief from care by building castles in the air!
None are so credulous as the average the-
orist with respect to what confirms his theory,
and none so incredulous of facts that oppose
it.
Most "reforms"" are like Down Last
grapes: they are seldom ripe, and by the 1i
they become so they an' generally out of sea-
son.
Work is the most moral and humanizing in-
stitution of Providence, as the desire of get-
ting something for nothing is the most demor-
alizing sentiment that can be cultivated.
ruder our present meretricious system of
government and society men of talent will
succeed better in public life than men of prin-
ciple, and men of great wealth better than
either.
What Nature gives in one direction she gen-
erally withholds in another; and the man who
would conscientiously employ vested power
for the good of his fellowmen usually lacks
the initiative to acquire it — and vice versa.
Nothing makes a man feel so humble as the
realization of how much there is to learn, and
how little can be learned in his short span of
life, unless it be the realization of his insignif-
icance and helplessness when trying to com-
prehend the infinite.

RIGHTS OF PUBLIC EMPLOYES.
Public Ownership and Private Rights.
The StriKe as an "Act of Treason."
commit them to the principle of a "strike against the
Government." In other words, a strike, which, when
undertaken by the employes of a private concern,
would raise no question of wrong to the employer or
of disloyalty to the State, would, when undertaken by
the Letter-Carriers, be an act of treason to the Gov-
ernment! It is apparent, from this view of the ease,
that the Letter-Carriers regard the Government as a
thing separate from and superior to themselves and
the public at large. Herein lies the assumed difference
between the United States Government, as an em-
ployer, and the private individual or corporation, con-
sidered in the same capacity. In this view the citizen
who accepts employment under the Government fore-
goes the rights of citizenship and becomes a mere
cipher, entirely subject to the will of his superiors!
A moment's reflection will show that the Letter-Car-
riers ' idea of inconsistency in the matter of affiliation
with the American Federation of Labor is in reality
inconsistency in their idea of the Government and of
the mutual relations existing between it and its em-
ployes.
In the true conception of the United States Govern-
ment, as a representative institution restricted by the
terms of an express grant of power on the part of the
people, there can be no question as to the position
properly occupied by its employes. The Government
being merely the creature of the- people, designed to
effect the will of the people in certain specified mat-
ters, it is inconsistent to suppose that the people, or
any part of them, surrender of necessity any of the
functions or rights reserved by them by the mere act
of accepting service under the Government. On the
contrary, the citizen who enters the service of the
Government carries with him and retains throughout
that service all the rights of citizenship, and remains
as free in the exercise of these rights, regardless of
public inconvenience, as do his fellow-citizens in pri-
vate employment.
The attitude of the Letter-Carriers is cited, not for
anything peculiar to the particular circumstances, but
because it illustrates in a typical way the marked
tendency in numerous quarters toward an important
change in the viewpoints of people and Government,
toward each other. The notion that service in the
civil branches of the Government involves a surrender
of the rights of citizenship, and particularly of the
right to quit work (as in the case of a strike of let-
ter-carriers, for instance) lias taken firm root in many
minds and threatens to become general, if not uni-
versal. That idea lias been enunciated in high places
with all the confidence of set convict ion, as though it
were a matter of course. Not only has tins, ;is yet,
snmeuh:it novel docl ri nc been applied t<> employes of
the Government, but it lias been extended to employes
holding licenses from the Government and, to go still
further, to employes of the so-called public-service
corporations. For instance, it has been officially de
dared that the ship's officer — master, mate or engineer
— who of necessity holds a license from the Federal
Government, is as much a part of the Government ;is
is the soldier in the Army or the seaman in tin- Navy,
and, therefore, thai he may be subjected t" compulsory
service precisely as are Hie members of He- military
icel Again, we commonly hem- it said that em
ployes in the transportation service seamen, rail-
roadmen, street-carmen, etc.- are public servants, and
therefore Have no right to "strike againsl the pub-
lic"!
THE National Association of Letter-Carriers, at
its convention in Portland, Or., last month, de-
cided not to affiliate with the American Federa-
tion of Labor, upon the ground that affiliation with
the labor movement would be ' ' inconsistent with the
Letter-Carriers' relations to their employer, the United
States Government. ' ' This action, or rather the rea-
soning upon which that action is based, raises an im-
portant question, a question that becomes more im-
portant every day.
In what respect do the relations between the Let-
ter-Carriers and their employer, the United States
Government, suggest any inconsistency in the propo-
sition of affiliation between the Letter-Carriers and
other workers engaged in the service of other employ-
ers? The essence of this question may be resolved
into simpler terms, as follows: What difference exists
between the United States Government, as the em-
ployer of letter-carriers, and any other institution,
considered aa the employer of any other class of labor?
Stated more briefly still: What, if any, is the differ-
ence between the United States Government and any
other institution in the matter of the relations be-
tween employer and employe?
The answer to this question may be best reached by
noting the position assumed by the Letter-Carriers
themselves. We need not concern ourselves with the
fears so often expressed by certain organizations or
classes of labor, that affiliation with +he general labor
movement involves an obligation to strike in sympathy
with other organizations whenever ordered to do so
by some central authority, such, for instance, as the
American Federation of Labor. These fears are
groundless, and rest upon a radical misapprehension
of the construction and principles of the labor move-
ment. As is well known by all persons familiar with
the labor movement, the only authority to order a
strike resides primarily in the men or women imme-
diately concerned; at any rate, such authority extends
no further in any case than the executive of the given
craft. It is well known, too, that the sympathetic
strike is discountenanced, and in fact prohibited, ex-
cept in extreme cases in which the principle of common
defense is at stake. In its concrete form the objection
of the Letter-Carriers to affiliation with the labor
movement lies not in the danger that they would
thereby obligate themselves to strike on behalf of
other crafts, but in the implication that they would
thereby commit themselves to the possibility of a
strike on their own behalf.
The Letter-Carriers assume, first of all, that the
labor movement is based upon the strike as the final
resort in disputes between employers and employes,
an assumption in itself substantially correct. From
this assumption the Letter-Carriers draw the conclu-
sion that affiliation with the labor movement would
The growth of this idea compels a review of the
whole question as to the relation that properly exists
between the Government, or any so-called quasi-public
body, and its employes. The necessity of a final deter-
mination of the question becomes the greater in pro-
portion to the growth of the sentiment in favor of
public ownership of public utilities, and of that other
well-defined sentiment in favor of increasing the num-
ber of licensed vocations. Upon the outcome will de-
pend very largely, indeed mainly, the ultimate judg-
ment upon the latter questions.
All questions of governmental policy must finally be
determined in the light of their effect upon the peo-
ple's freedom, specifically upon personal liberty. Gen-
erally speaking, those policies which conserve and en-
large personal liberty may be pronounced good, and
vice versa. Without attempting to prejudge the ease
of public ownership versus private ownership of so-
called public utilities, it may be laid down as a funda-
mental rule in the settlement of that case that the
verdict must rest with that system which best protects
and promotes the personal liberty of the employes.
In turn, the question of personal liberty must be con-
sidered in its broadest and most far-reaching aspect,
namely, as a question of the individual right to quit
work, either singly or by concert of numbers, and under
any circumstances short of danger to life or property.
Ali other questions of advantage or disadvantage in
either system must finally be measured by this funda-
mental standard. The right to quit work is as essen-
tial to the welfare of the public, as to that of the pri-
vate employe, since, in the absence of such right, the
Government would inevitably become indifferent to
the interests of its employes. 1'nblic ownership may
promise beneficial results in public profit ami political
morality, and to that extent may be pronounced a
good thing. But if public ownership also promises
the loss of personal liberty on the part of the public
employe, it must be pronounced n bad thing. No inci-
dental advantages to the public itself can possibly
compensate the public employe for the sacrifice of his
own rights as a member of the public.
If there be any merit in the theory that the United
States Government, considered ;is an employer of
labor, must of necessity exercise powers which are de-
nied to private employers, it follows that restriction of
the Government's functions as an employer is the
natural and necessary attitude of the public toward
the Government. By parity of reasoning, if the issu-
ance of Government licenses to employes of private
concerns properly involves the licensees in an obliga-
tion to accept or continue in service against their own
inclination, it follows thai the number of vocations in
which licenses are required should be reduced to the
minimum, and, if possible, to the point of abolishing
all requirements of the sort. In a word, the public,
i. e., the Government, must either reaped the indi-
vidual rights — religious, political and economic of its
employes in all civil branches, or it must be content, to
forego the functions of employer and to leave these
in private hands, as an alternative which will make
lip in the conservation id' personal liberty that which
it loses in the matter of public convenience.
If it should appear upon a complete review of the
situation that public service does rightly and n
sarily Involve a surrender of private rights, public
service will by that fact become a thing to !»■ mini
mi/.ed, not extended. A conception of society in v
everything is owned and operated by the public ami in
which all public servants ari' SUbjecl to the whim of
the "Ibads of Departments'' is repugnant to popular
liberty. Public ownership, of postoffices, railro
itreel cars or dump-carts, may b.' a tine thing, but (lie
political proscription of labor i-i too big a price to pay
lor I he pleasure.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
A CooK's Experience.
The writer joined the ship Landseer in
Philadelphia on February 5, L880, and on that
day sailed for San Francisco. From that time
until her arrival, on August 10, of the same
year, there was nothing but hunger, starva-
tion and brutality. It commenced as soon as
we got beyond the Delaware Breakwater. The
captain called aft the full crew of sixteen
men. and asked the men how they wished to
be fed— whether they desired the allowance
prescribed by law or to have '•full and
plenty." without allowances. The men. know-
ing that the law's allowance was not enough,
were willing to pet •'full and plenty.'" as the
captain said. There was a book presented to
the men. represented as a log-book, which they
were bluffed into signing. After they had
oed it, the captain crave his instructions to
the steward, and the next day he began cut-
ting down lower than what was allowed by
law. The ship, on her previous voyage, had
e from San Francisco to Liverpool and
thence to Philadelphia. There being wheat in
the cargo, the Japanese cook was ordered to
roast that and give it to the sailors, in lieu of
coffee. There must have been considerable of
this roasted wheat, as I found half a sack on
board when I joined her. The instructions
given to the steward were that he should give
this wheat, mixed with some moldy bread,
which had remained in the ship on the arrival
in Philadelphia from Liverpool, to the crew
before any of the new stores were opened.
The men soon became dissatisfied with it and
commenced growling at the cook. Th
informed them it was not his fault, and rec-
ommended that they speak to the captain,
which they did. and he presented them with
the book bearing their signatures and claimed
the right to say what was sufficient quantity
and good quality, and that they would receive
no better.
The cook then threw the burned wheat over-
board, although this was unknown to the cap-
tain, the crew not knowing what their sup-
posed coffee consisted of. This forced the
captain to open up the new coffee he had on
board, which was not as good as the wheat, as
it was only ehickory. which he had procured
in Liverpool.
The crew were each of a different national-
ity, and as a result were divided among them-
selves on racial and religious lines. There
were twenty-two men on board the ship, offi-
cers and crew. From this the reader may
know how plentiful was the food on board.
when I say a barrel of pork was to last thirty
days, one of beef twenty days and one of
Hour fifteen days. We had a long p
(one hundred and eighty-six days) and dur-
ing that time there was not one pound of fresh
meat, canned or otherwise, allowed, although
the ship had on board two years' provisions.
The men had subsisted all that time on salt
- and salty rain-water, which they had
caught, while there were two thousand gallons
of fresh water taken from the Delaware River
that had not cost anything on board on ar-
rival, which the men might have used; but by
saving this water the less it would cost him on
leaving San Francisco. We had four sailors
laid up with scurvy when we got to San Fran-
cisco, and one named Martin, a S aied
on his way to the hospital. The captain of
that ship was named Captain Eliza Noel, be-
longing to Brooster, Cape Cod. The writer of
this article was an eye-witness of these occur-
- cook of the ship. This is
only part of his experience of thirty years'
seagoing, for lie has himself been many a day
hungry on board ships. On arrival. 1 made a
promise not to go on deep water again, and
have not done so up to date. I was personally
acquainted with the owners of the vessel that
I have here mentioned, they being George C.

British and German Ships.
During the last twenty years a great change
has taken place as to the tonnage of all the
larger sea-transportatioti companies of Eng-
land and Germany. Among the twenty-five
English and six German companies with more
than 100.000 gross register tonnage each,
there is but one. the English Anchor line.
whose tonnage now is less than it was in 1884.
Among the English companies the British
India Steam Navigation Company heads the
list with 446,000 gross register tonnage. In
1884, it had 174.000 gross register tonnage
and was second only to the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company, which
to-day occupies third place.
The English White Star line, second on
the list of to-day. had only 58,000 gross reg-
ister tonnage in 1884, occupying the eleventh
place: since then it has increased its tonnage
to 388.000 gross register tonnage. This con-
siderable amount is divided among thirty-one
eels, so that the average tonnage of each
White Star steamer is about 12,01 'tw-
ister tons. The White Star line can boast
that, as far as the average tonnage of its ves-
sels is concerned, it is unsurpassed by any
other company in the world.
Next in tonnage follows the Peninsular and
Oriental Company. Its fleet, which in 1884
had more than 175.000 gross register tonnage.
and was then considered the greatest naviga-
tion company in the world, has for the last
few years been steadily receding: it. however,
still has a gross register tonnage of 326.000
tons, nearly double that of 1884.
The next greatest company. Elder Demp-
ster Company, had at one time a greater ton-
nage than in 1904. otherwise it resembles the
White Star line in rapid growth. Its present
tonnage of 312.000 gross register tons is about
:i times as large as its tonnage in 1884
The Union Castle line is a fusion of two com-
panies, the Union and the Castle lines, which
in 1884 had an aggregate tonnage of 96.000
3S register tons. To-day it has 298.000
- ster tons. Then follow five com-
panies of about the same tonnage each — the
Leyland line, with 261.000 gross register
53,000 in 1^-4 ; the Ellerman line,
an twenty years old. with 260,000 gross
register tons: Alfred Holt & Co., with 254,-
51,000 in 1—4 : the Cunard line, with
51,000 in 1—4 . This company had
in 1903 only 148.000 gross register tonnage,
but the new steamers built with governmental
aid have raised it from fourteenth to ninth
place among the English lines. Like the
White Star line, it uses almost exclusively
••toamers. the average tonnage of which
is 10,500.
The Allan line, with 203.000 _ ist.-r
tonnage (68.000 in 1884), closes the list of
English companies with more than 200.000
gross register tonnage.
The German sea navigation companies con-
about 50 per cent of the Hamburg-
American line and the North-German Lloyd.
Twenty years ago the Hamburg-American
line had a fleet of about 60,000 gross register
tonnage. To-day it owns a steamer fli
719.000 grass register tonnage, according to
its last annual report. The North-German
Lloyd had 103.000 gross register tonnage in
1884, which in 1904 had increased to .".7::. >.
Both companies have therefore, in the short
time of twenty years, surpassed all English
lines. To-day they stand at the head of all
sea navigation companies in the world.
Third place among the German lines
eupied by the "Hansa" Company, which is
about twenty years old and has 215,000 gross
register tonnage. All the other German lines
have less than 200.000 gross register tonnage.
Only the Hamburg-South American, the Ger-
man-Australian, and the "Kosmos" lines
have more than 100.000 gross register tonnage
each.
British and Irish Emigration.
A new return has just been issued for the
first time by the British Government. It is
the counterpart of the alien immigration re-
turns, and deals with the number of passen-
gers who leave England for places out of Eu-
rope, discriminating between the British Em-
pire and foreign countries. It appears that in
the month of July, 21,000 Britons emigrated,
two-thirds being from England, 4.392 from
Scotland, and 2.631 from Ireland. That is a
reduction of 1,664 as compared with the cor-
responding month of last year. As regards
the past seven months, British emigrants
numbered about 151,000. an increase of 13.-
447. England contributed 98,460, Scotland
24.116. and Ireland 28.333.
Of British and Seoteh emigrants, rather
more than one-half go to British colonies, and
Canada takes by far the greatest proportion
of them. The Irish, however, prefer the
United States, with the result that the Repub-
lic gets more of British people than Canada.
It is claimed that the English and Scotch are
far more partial to the Dominion than to the
United States, and sent 55,000 emigrants
there as against 2.000 Irish in the seven
months. South Africa holds the next place in
popularity, and has taken nearly 13,000 Brit-
ons in the seven months, while Australia at-
tracted 6,325. The returns also show that
110.000 foreigners left the United Kingdom.
chiefly for the United Stat. s, in the past seven
months.
The German lawyers an liable in dan
to their clients for evil results consequent up-
on misleading advice. The Supreme Court of
Germany has recently rendered a decision that
an attorney-at-law is liable to his client to
the full extent for carelessly giving in©
advice. The court held that the attorney who.
for pay. gives his client in legal mattei
vice as to certain conduct and procedure is
liable for the legal consequence suffered by
the client in acting thereon, provided that
such advice is not only faulty, but has been
proven to have been given carelessly. Through
the expressly stated or tacit offer of remun-
eration for information and advice concern-
ing a question, an attorney tacitly assumes the
position of debtor of the client, which obliges
him to be careful in giving advice, and he is
therefore liable for its consequence if he has
failed through ear

Firemen's Affairs.
The regular semi-annual session of the Ex-
ecutive Board of the Atlantic Coast Marine
Firemen's Union convened in Norfolk, Va.,
on October 5, 1905; Sullivan of New York,
Robertson of Philadelphia, Connor of Nor-
folk, and Mahoney of Boston present. Daniel
Sullivan, of New York, was elected chairman j
James T. Mahoney, of Boston, secretary.
The chairman, after calling the Board to
order and briefly stating the purport of the
meeting, gave an outline of the Union 's stand-
ing in the various ports along the Coast. The
conditions in New York, he said, had been ex-
cellent during the past year, the Union's ship-
ping in that port having increased 90 per cent
since the last meeting of the Board. The
agents also reported that their respective
branches were on a sound basis, and generally
regarded the prospects for the future as more
than ordinarily promising.
In the afternoon all hands went across the
bay to Newport News. They found that port
completely rid of crimps, and all the shipping
done through the local Union office. Men
were, however, very scarce, both there and in
Norfolk.
On the 6th the Board re-convened in Nor-
folk; all members present. After transacting
some routine business, the question of the In-
ternational Seamen's Union affiliating with
the International Transport Workers' Federa-
tion, as per resolution found on page 25 of the
Proceedings of the last convention of the I.
S. U. of A., was ordered to be referred to a
referendum vote of the Union. Some discus-
sion arose about organizing the colored fire-
men sailing out of Norfolk, Baltimore and ad-
jacent ports. It was recommended that a res-
olution be placed upon the annual ballot mak-
ing the initiation for colored firemen in said
ports $2.50, the same to be decided by a refer-
endum vote of the Union. Relative to affilia-
tion with State bodies of the A. F. of L., it
was unanimously recommended that Head-
quarters and branches immediately affiliate
therewith.
"When the Board re-convened on the 7th,
the chairman dwelt at some length and with
much emphasis upon the urgent necessity of
enforcing the collection of the reserve fund.
The Board recommended action along the
lines suggested by the chairman. The chair-
man also submitted his books for examina-
tion by the Board. These were carefully in-
spected and the Board unanimously reported
all entries found therein correct. The Board
adjourned sine die in the afternoon. Secre-
tary Sullivan, on his way back to New York,
inspected conditions in Philadelphia, and re-
ports them to be excellent. It was impossible
to hold a meeting, however, as all the men
were at work.
Much in life that men think great and
grand is simply so because of its contiguity.
Nearness lends enchantment to many things
which would be swallowed by distance.
If it were as easy to determine beforehand
what will do good as it is to determine what
will do harm, the science of government would
be one of the most exact.
Immigration Evils.
Our immigration problem just now is of a
kind to cause anxiety to serious-minded citi-
zens. This country is large, rich and fertile
in an unusual degree, we know ; but the ques-
tion is: How long can we stand having in-
jected into our national life every year more
than a million of immigrants whose ethnologi-
cal qualifications for citizenship are steadily
becoming less and less desirable? Instead of
having our population increased and strength-
ened by the infusion of new blood from those
countries whose inhabitants are related to us
by ties of race, language, laws, customs, and
those standards of living and social and po-
litical ethics which have made this country
great, we have recently allowed the United
States to become the universal dumping
ground of the most unprogressive of the
world's peoples. The notable increase in late
years of crimes of violence in the various
States, and the general lowering of our na-
tional business morality, which is so plainly
observable everywhere, may in a large meas-
ure be traced to our fatuous non-discrimina-
tion in the matter of immigration. The social
and moral ethics of the nations of Southeast-
ern Europe and Asia Minor are not such as
the founders of this Republic would have
wished to have grafted onto our national life.
Yet it is from those parts of the world that
the great majority of our immigrants are now
coming, and have been coming for a number
of years. It is useless to deny that this has
had and will continue to have a perceptible ef-
fect in changing the national character. It has
already had such effect, as above stated; and
as the same causes are increasingly at work it
is only a natural inference that the effects will
become still more marked. In view of this, it
is high time that Governmental cognizance
were taken of our immigration problem. A
nation, like an individual, has a natural right
to exclude from its territory all objectionable
persons. Quality of population is always a
greater desideratum than mere quantity ; and
as there is such an abundance of immigrants
to choose from, common discretion should dic-
tate a policy of elimination which would at
any rate assure us against the admission into
the country of persons naturally unfit to be-
come citizens. Least of all should this coun-
try become the asylum for such unspeakable
scoundrels as those who have made us ac-
quainted with the "cadet" evil, the "Black
Hand" and "Mafia" outrages, and the degra-
dation of padrone labor.
Child Labor.
This age might fittingly be described as the
"talking age." From every pulpit and edi-
torial sanctum in the land the insurance
grafters are being unmercifully denounced.
All the leading newspapers devote pages daily
to reporting the proceedings of the Armstrong
investigating committee. Yet, it is a moral
certainty that no insurance thief will ever be
sent to jail, and that as soon as we get another
national scandal to talk about they will re-
sume their business of swindling the public at
the same old stand. Yea, verily, this is a
"talking" plus "nothin' doin' " age.
Amid all the disheartening conditions of
selfishness, ignorance and brutalizing poverty,
it is gratifying to note that the number of
those earnestly seeking to improve the lot of
those less fortunate than themselves is stead-
ily growing. The American Humane Asso-
ciation, for instance, recently held its regu-
lar annual convention in Philadelphia, and
its president, "William 0. Stillman, in the
course of his opening address, spoke on the
subject of child labor, as follows:
Our societies should give greater attention to the
procuring and enforcement of proper Child-Labor
laws. When one studies the condition of child labor
in the cotton mills of the South and the coal fields of
the North, it is found practically as bad, and even
worse in some respects than that which characterized
slavery before the Civil War, and it is a slavery even
more odious and unendurable than that which
shackled the black race. It is notorious that hun-
dreds of thousands of children who ought to be in
school, are forced to work in sweatshops and factories.
They become wrecked in health and die prematurely.
The survivors fill hospitals, and ultimately many of
them almshouses. The horrors of this unrighteous
situation are not realized by those who have not
studied it most carefully. What i3 greatly needed is
uniform Child-Labor laws in the different States, with
a rising standard as soon as justified.
The child-labor evil has attained its presenl
alarming dimensions simply because the im-
mediate sufferers from it, the children, are
too weak to make an effective protest in their
own behalf. Human nature is essentially
selfish, and in the hurly-burly of this money-
chasing age its inherent selfishness has been
preternaturally aggravated. Hence those so-
cial evils which are not brought home to us
directly never receive the attention or sym-
pathy which our hearts, if rightly keyed,
would bestow as a duty of our common hu-
manity. This indifference of the average man
to evils which are unseen, but which he yet
knows must inevitably react detrimentally
upon himself, is simply a phase of that pecu-
liar twist in human nature whereby, as Pitt
once pointed out, the shirt can be taxed off a
man's back indirectly, but which makes us re-
sist direct taxation almost to the death. This
is all wrong, of course, for every man of com-
mon intelligence knows that child labor is in-
jurious to the race as a whole, and that it is
our duty collectively and individually to do
what we can to protect the race against that
particular injury. The most effective way at
present to compass that object is undoubtedly
to be found in uniform Child-Labor laws
throughout the different States.
Naval Desertions.
Demand the union label on all products.
Just now the naval seamen's periodical kick-
about unseasonable and insufficient food is go-
ing the rounds of the Eastern press. The
battleship Kentucky, for instance, has been
nicknamed the "bean ship," from the fre-
quency with which beans, a la Boston and a
la free-lunch-joint, are served to the crew.
The Kentucky has been in commission only a
little over a year, yet to-day it is stated that
of the original crew not one remains, all hav-
ing deserted in the meantime, and she is now
150 men short of her complement. And so it
seems to be all along the line of Admiral
Evans' squadron. Desertions are literally
every-day occurrences, and in every instance

Having sailed entirely around the world and half
way back in ballast, seeking cargo, the French bark
General De Sonis, Captain M. Hermit arrived at Port
Angeles, Wash., on October 17, from Hobart, Tas-

in shipping circles to be a record for a sailing vessel,
the General De Sonis having made it in seventy-nine
sailing days.
The report of the final signing of the peace treaty
between Japan and Russia having officially reached
Mare Island, the Imperial royal ensign of Russia was
displayed from the mainmast of the cruiser Lena on
October 18. From that hour on the marine patrol,
which has been constantly on guard at the ship ever
since she reached the Island, was relieved from fur-
ther duty.
The steamer Claudine, well known in the Hawaiian
interisland service, sailed from San Francisco for
Honolulu on October 17. For several months past the
Claudine has been at the former port undergoing an
overhauling and repairing, and is now in first-class
condition. Under the command of Captain Bennett
she will resume service between Honolulu and various
Island points.

and San Francisco, is to be fined for leaving Nanaimo
to proceed to Ladysmith without reporting. The
Western Fuel Company, which chartered the steamer,
was not ready to ship from Nanaimo, so the steamer
proceeded to Ladysmith, omitting the necessary report
outward at the Nanaimo Customs.
A telegram received at San Francisco on October 14
reported that the four-masted steel barkentine Alta,
owned by A. P. Lorentzen of the former port, had
discharged her cargo at Manila, and was on the beach
in a leaky condition. The Alta flies the Chilean flag,
although owned by an American. The Alta, with other
vessels, was the victim of the terrific storm that lately
swept over the Philippine Islands.
Repairs to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
steamer Spokane, now at the Union Iron Works, San
Francisco, are expected to cost in the neighborhood of
$11,000. The Spokane stranded on Wrangel Narrows
on her trip from Alaska, but was not seriously dam-
aged, the vessel having double bottoms. But before
again going into service the Spokane will go into dry-
dock for repairs.
Civil Engineer H. H. Rosseau, of the Mare Island
(Cal.) Navy Yard, in his annual report to the Sec-
retary of the Navy, strongly urges the development of
the Mare Island Yard into a large and well equipped
naval base. He recommends the quick completion of
the improvement of the channel in Mare Island Strait
and the enlargement of the present facilities at the
yard by the construction of new buildings and roads.
Advices have been received at Victoria, B. C, that
a combination had been formed of Japanese shipping
firms to send tramp steamers to the United States and
Europe with cargoes from Japanese and Indo-Japan-
ese points, carrying freight- at a low rate — about one-
third of the present rate. The sixty-six steamers
which were captured while running contraband and
confiscated by the prize crews will be used in connec-
tion with the fleet now in use by the Government to
bring home the troops.
The Union Iron Works has been awarded a contract
for repairing the hull of the Oceanic liner Alameda.
Several bids for the work were received, that of the
Union Iron Works, for about $30,000, being substan-
tially the lowest. In addition to the v.ork on the hull,
there is much to be done on the Alameda before she
can be again made ready for service, and there is a
probability that all the work will be done by the
Union Iron Works. It is expected that the Alameda
will be ready for service again by December 1.
For the second time within a dozen years John C.
Hampton and his sisters, Mrs. Tyson and Mrs. Mau-
vais, have failed in their effort to obtain $100,000
damages from the Occidental and Oriental Steamship
Company for the death of their parents in the wreck
of the City of Chester, seventeen years ago. The jury
in Judge Hunt's court at San Francisco on October
18 returned a verdict for the defendants. The case
was first tried eleven years ago, with the same result,
but was sent back for re-trial by the Supreme Court.
The new freight steamer Bessie Dollar was launch-
ed from a Port Glasgow (Scotland) shipyard on
October 17, according to a telegram received recent-
ly. She is a duplicate of the Hazel Dollar, recently
arriving on the Coast, and is owned by the Robert
Dollar Steamship Company. The launching was at-
tended by Melville Dollar, whose wife, after whom
the steamship is named, christened the vessel. Cap-
tain Gow will bring the new steamer out to the Coast,
when she will engage in the lumber trade to the Orient.
Four libel suits were begun on October '!, in the
United States District Court against the gasoline tow-
boat George R, Bailey. The suits are brought, in
one complaint, by Herzog & Dahl for electrical sup-
plies furnished between June and October, 1905, val-
ued at $446.10, Of whicli'it is claimed but $100 lias been
paid- Todt & Peters, who claim a balance due on
blacksmith work of $269.96; D. S. Cartwright, for $28
worth of hauling, and L. M. Coggins, for a balance of
$153.21 claimed due on carpenter work done on the
towboat.
The steamer Lyra, at Victoria, P.. C, bring-; news
that the Russian Government lias established a trade
route via the Arctic passage to the mouth of the Ye
nesei to re-enforce the transsiberian route. Sea-going
steamers will run from Russian ports by way of the
Polar Ocean and the Kara Sea to the mouth of the
Yenesei, where depots are established to transship
their cargoes and passengers to the river ports. The
barges will be towed to Krassnoyarsk, on the Ye-
nesei, where connection will be made with the main
Siberian Railway.
Captain F. B. Zaddart, First Mate- E. E. Johnson
and Arthur Self, second-mate, of the steam-schooner
Santa Barbara, were found guilty by Local Inspectors
Bolles and Bulger at San Francisco on October 19 of
unskillful and negligent conduct in connection with
the wreck of their vessel at Del Mar landing, near
Gualala Point, on October 1. As a result of the
findings of the Inspectors, Captain Zaddart had his
license suspended three months, First-mate Johnson
loses his for six months and Second-mate Self, who
was on the bridge at the time of the catastrophe, had
his license suspended nine months.

days from Port Talbot for Iquique, 10 per cent.
British ship M. E. Watson, 140 days from Cardiff for
Antofagasta, 10 per cent.
In a local case at Seattle, Wash., the State Supreme
Court held on October 12 that the master of an ocean-
going vessel and a seaman are not fellow-servants and
the owners of the vessel are responsible for injuries
occurring to seamen through the negligence of the
master of the vessel. Patrick J. Woods was injured
on board the steamer Tampico, which was bound from
Seattle to the Hawaiian Islands. Woods was ordered
by the master to cleat a sheet which had fouled in the
shackles. He claims that while at work the master,
without warning to him, ordered the course of the
vessel changed, which resulted in a large wave coming
on board and washing him across the ship. His leg
was broken and he sued for damages. He secured a
judgment for $2000, which is affirmed by this decision.
The Pacific Mail 's annual report shows gross earn-
ings of $5,775,783. This is an increase of $2,174,017
over the year before, when the gross receipts were
$3,601,000. Expenses for the year were $4,480,771,
leaving a balance of $1,295,012. Out of the latter
there was deducted $496,000 for depreciation and gen-
eral and extraordinary repairs of steamers and $371,-
000 for the lease of new piers in San Francisco. There
was left, therefore, a surplus for the year amounting
to $427,656. This is au increase of $180,760 over the
year before. The company 's fleet includes sixteen
steamships owned and others leased. With the excep-
tion of $617,000 owed the Southern Pacific for ad-
vances, the company had at the close of the year only
$201,000 of current debts as against $350,000 of cash
and other available assets.

When the New York city schools opened
it is estimated that 610,000 children applied
for admission, or about 42,000 more than
presented themselves on the opening day
last year. This large increase is one of many
indications of the rapid growth of the city.
That the State census which was taken last
June will show that New York City litis a
population of considerable over 4,000,000 is
considered a foregone conclusion.
Some critics look askance at the celerity
in which New York is increasing in popula-
tion. One of the commentators, who deplores
the "herding together" of so many hundreds
of thousands of human beings, has made some
interesting compilations respecting the fear-
ful pace at which New York moves.
He has figured it out, for instance, that
every fifty-five seconds a train reaches this
city and unloads several hundred nervous
passengers.
Every forty-eight minutes a ship enters
the harbor, either from a foreign country or
a coast port.
Every forty seconds tin immigrant enters
this city, and every two and two-thirds min-
utes one makes his home here.
Every six minutes a child is born.
Death also in New York moves rapidly
and resistlessly. Every seven minutes it
starts another funeral through the streets.
Every hour and three-quarters it strikes some
one down in an accident; every ten hours it
drives somebody to suicide, and every two days
it commits murder.
Every thirteen minutes a marriage is per-
formed.
Every ten seconds the lawyers start a new
lawsuit, and every twelve hours a new lawyer
starts out in search of still more litigation.
A house is built here every fifty-one min-
utes.
Although the police, as seen by a casual
observer about the streets, do not appear to
be dangerously overworked, yet they make
an arrest every three minutes. On an aver-
age, a new prisoner is brought to the Tombs
every two hours, and every five hours a crim-
inal is sent from this city to State prison.
The British Postal authorities have made a
regulation by which a depositor in the Post-
office savings bank will be allowed to with-
draw any sum not exceeding one pound
sterling ($4.86) from his account without
previous notice, on producing the deposit
book at any Postoffice savings hank and satis-
fying the postmaster thai he is entitled to
ri ive the money. It has been a drawback
to the Postoffice savings hank system hither-
to that the depositor in immediate need of a
small sum has been unable to obtain it ex-
cept by paying for an interchange of
telegrams between the local office and Lon-
don. The expense and delay of this process
will now be obviated, and a depositor will be
enabled to obtained an immediate cash pay-
ment at any one of the 15,000 Postoffice s;iv-

HISTORY, "AS SHE IS VYKOTE.'
Our Socialist contemporary, the Cleveland
Citizen, has discovered the "true inwardness"
of the great Australian maritime strike!
That paper, with characteristic modesty, ad-
mits that the discovery is not entirely its own,
and gives first credit to its distinguished and
reliahle informant, the Open Shop, a publi-
cation which, as indicated by its name, may
be accepted as authority in all matters of the
kind. In this Ihe Cleveland Citizen but dein-
, i! ist rates its own wisdom, since we know that
learning consists mainly in the judicious se-
lection of authorities. Observers of events in
the labor world during the past twelve or fif-
teen years will doubtless be pleased, as well as
surprised, to receive this new light upon an
important event. The light in question is
diffused over two columns of the Citizen, but
the particularly luminous ray is that which
describes the immediate cause of the great in-
dustrial upheaval. After noting the rela-
tions previously existing between employers
and employes in the Antipodes, in which it is
shown that the lions (the trade-unionists)
were led by asses (the trade-union officials),
the new historian proceeds, as follows:
The cause of quarrel was childish, as McEacharn
meant it should be. A difference arose between the
quartermaster and the steward of one of his coasting
steamers over the charms of a stewardess. The cap-
tain, to settle the difficulty — as he thought, poor man,
— discharged the sailor. The union demanded his re-
instatement. McEacharn, knowing what the reply
would be, offered to put him on another ship. The
union demanded reinstatement on the same ship. Mc-
Eacharn in very courteous terms pointed out that that
was impossible. Then the asses who led the lions told
him that unless the reinstatement was effected within
twenty-four hours they would call the crews off all his
ships and order a general strike.
Then, like a flash, McEacharn unmasked his guns.
Back went the reply that the unions might strike and
bo damned.
The strike was ordered. And then there followed a
battle grim and great. Union after union was called
out, ship after ship was laid up, State after State was
involved in the quarrel, until the whole continent stood
under arms. In less than four weeks the fires of nearly
every coasting steamer were drawn. The trade of
Australia was paralyzed. Four hundred thousand
unionists were idle, and every man of them was draw-
ing half-pay. Also every unemployed man who looked
like becoming a free laborer was paid a weekly allow-
ance from the general fund to prevent remanning the
ships.
But flic Shipowners' Union that McEa.harn had or-
ganized dicta. 1 even try to reman the ships. The land
boom had reached its limit, trade was declining, very
large coal reserves had been laid up, the funds and
membership of the unions were known to a dollar and
a man. The shipowners simply sat down on their
hunkers and waited.
So it now appears that the whole trouble
was caused by the proverbial and inevitable
"woman at the bottom of it"! Verily, greal
results How from small causes. All hail the
historian who, instead of burrowing for the
hidden springs of human action, can explain
the most momentous events upon the simplest
and apparently most superficial grounds.
Hereafter we may expect that history shall
be written in the form of the "problem
story"; that all its lessons shall be lessons of
low. and that all the causes of discord be-
tween men and nations shall be resolved into
elements of jealous rivalry for the smiles of
fair woman. The wonder, and sorrow, is that
the men who made and wrote the history of
the great Australian maritime strike did not
themselves realize that they were merely back-
ing up a childish squabble between a quarter-
master and a steward over the charms of a
stewardess. Like the armies of Menelaus and
Priam, the seamen and shipowners of Austra-
lia fought all unwitting of the Helen in the
case.
Reference to the Journal's accounts of the
strike ( which, by the way, are composed main-
ly of official correspondence from both sides
to the dispute) and to the Australian Govern-
ment reports on the subject, gives no inkling
of the cause ascribed by the Cleveland Citi-
zen's authority. On the contrary, these ac-
counts put a very serious face on the matter.
It is interesting, by way of comparison be-
tween history, "as she is wrote"" by the men
who make it, and by the men who discover it
some years later, to briefly review the causes
of the strike, as related at the period of their
happening. Organized labor in Australia in
1890 was powerful and therefore naturally
disposed to use its power, whether rightfully
or wrongfully need not here be discussed.
Practically, the situation then was much the
same as it has been in the United States dur-
ing the past few years. The trade-unions had
established the "Closed Shop" in almost all
industries. With this growth of labor organ-
ization there came into existence a counter or-
ganization of capital, inspired and conducted
much as is the Citizens' Alliance movement
of the present day. The shipowners formed a
branch of this movement, under the title,
"Steamship Owners' Association of Austral-
asia." The latter body came into conflict
with the seamen on the question of increasing
wages. This question, as the Steamship Own-
ers afterward declared, might have been ad-
justed without a strike. However, while that
question was still being discussed the steam-
ship officers also made a demand for an in-
crease of wages and other improvements, the
must important of which provided for an in-
crease in the number of officers on certain
routes. These demands were likewise refused.
The officers then affiliated with the respective
central bodies in Victoria, New South Wales
and New Zealand, and appealed for their as-
sistance. The Steamship Owners then an-
nounced that they were willing to consider,
and possibly grant, the demands of the offi-
cers, but only upon condition that the latter
would sever all affiliations with organized
labor, upon the ground that such affiliations
were subversive of discipline. This ultimatum
was rejected by the officers, and they went on
strike. The seamen, firemen, cooks and stew-
ards and other crafts walked out in support
of the officers, and the great strike was on.
Such are the facts, as admitted by both sides.
Underlying the questions of increasing wages
and recognition of the officers' right to affili-
ate with organized labor there existed the
fear on the shipowners' part that the seamen
would "run the business," and, on the sea-
men's part, that the shipowners would de-
stroy the unions. Any one who reads the ac-
counts of the Australian maritime strike of
1890 can not but note the similarity, both as
to' cause and as to reasoning, between that
event and most great strikes of the present
day. The failure of the Australian strike was
due, not to the policy of laying up the ves-
sels, but, on the contrary, to the fact that the
vessels were run with non-union seamen, the
presence of whom was due, in turn, to the
policy of high initiation fees which had there-
tofore prevailed throughout the country, but
which was abandoned as a result of the strike.
Another maritime strike took place in Aus-
tralia in 1893, caused by a movement on the
part of the shipowners to greatly reduce
wages. In neither of these instances do the
quartermaster, steward or stewardess appear
in even a subordinate capacity. We see it all
now. These great characters in the drama
were reserved for the genius who has just
flashed upon them the limelight of historical
truth !
Having demonstrated the "childishness"
of the strike, the article in question goes on to
show the results, which, in effect, amount to
complete control of the country by the trade-
unions. Says the veracious narrator : ' ' Eleven
years ago the unions were battered, dead, done
for. To-day their direct lineal successor owns
the whole blessed Commonwealth of Austra-
lia." Of course, all this has been brought
about by political action. Here we have an-
other new light on history, or rather on the
facts of to-day. Ordinary observers of Aus-
tralian affairs have been led to believe that
the sum of results from the political action of
the Australian workers is contained in the
Compulsory Arbitration laws, which meas-
ures are even now being regarded as of doubt-
ful advantage. In other words, the political
victories of our Australian friends are dis-
tinctly of the Pyrrhic order; they have cost
more than they are worth.
In presenting to its readers the new history
of the Australian maritime strike, the Cleve-
land Citizen expresses the hope that "every
reader will carefully peruse the article." "It
is highly instructive," says our Socialist con-
temporary, "and the lesson it teaches ought
to be generally known, no matter what indus-
trial or political views the reader may hold."
Quite right. "The lesson it teaches" is two-
fold; first, that the avowed enemies of organ-
ized labor will stop at no absurdity in the
hope of making the labor movement appear
"childish" in the eyes of uninformed per-
sons; secondly, that the Socialist press will
not hesitate to incur suspicion of affinity with
the "Open Shoppers" by repeating the libels
and absurdities of the latter, if thereby it can
make a point for the "propaganda."
Our esteemed contemporary, the Union
Record, of Seattle, Wash., has been enlarged
and generally improved, as the result of a new
policy recently adopted by the trade-unionists
of the Northwestern metropolis. The Union
Record is a worthy representative of the labor
press, and its success is therefore a matter of
congratulation on the part of its contempo-
raries.

THE CHURCH AND LABOR.
The so-called rapprochement between the
churches and organized labor has evidently
begun to produce results. The Rev. Charles
Stelzle, leader of the movement to bring these
institutions together, is quoted by the Liter-
ary Digest as having made the "rather sur-
prising statement" that "organized labor is
more hostile at present toward the Roman
Catholic Church than toward the Protestant
churches, by reason of the recent attitude on
social questions taken by Rome." The sur-
prising thing about this statement consists not
in the statement itself, but in the making of
it. On second thought, instead of being sur-
prised, we should be reconciled by the fact that
such statements are just what might have
been expected under the circumstances.
Doubtless we shall hear other such statements
before the rapprochement between faith and
works reaches its consummation. Touching
the merits of Mr. Stelzle 's statement, it is
made out of whole cloth, or at any rate, out
of very inadequate materials — that is, from
incomplete observation. The "attitude on so-
cial questions taken by Rome" has no more
effect upon organized labor in the United
States than has the attitude on the weather
taken by the Man in the Moon. It is the at-
titude of the local clergyman toward the local
trade-union that counts in the opinion of the
latter. That opinion, we feel bound to say, is
not being improved by the "Department of
Church and Labor." Mr. Stelzle, the head of
that institution, is a very worthy man, so far
as we know, very ambitious to do good and
particularly desirous of mixing the oil of
churchianity with the water of trade-union-
ism. Mr. Stelzle 's zeal is admirable, but his
discretion is — well, it simply isn't. As long
as men believe in Heaven as a good place for
themselves and their friends, and in Hell as
a good place for their enemies, the churches
will always fill a "long-felt want," provided
that, in kind and degree, their preachings keep
pace with advancing thought on the subject of
that which is desirable in the hereafter. But
the churches' place in the "here" is not in the
labor movement, but in their own movement,
the religious movement. Any attempt to com-
bine these movements is bound to fail, and in
that failure both movements are bound to suf-
fer. With all due respect to the churches, we
warn the labor movement that no good can
come to it from any movement that tends or
attempts to combine religion and economics.
Religion, economics and politics are separate
and distinct institutions, and for their own
good they must be kept apart.
The Typographical unions throughout the
country are making good progress toward the
establishment of the eight-hour day in the
printing trade. The International Typo-
graphical Union announces that 240 local un-
ions have already secured the eight-hour day
or have entered into agreements under which
the shorter workday will go into effect on Jan-
uary 1. In all other cases the prospects are
good for a speedy and complete victory.
Another great craft converted to the principle
of shorter hours of labor and longer hours of
life!
And now Ave learn that the Bengalis have
adopted the boycott as a means of protesting
against the conduct of the British Govern-
ment. Here is an opportunity for Mr. Post
to show these deluded people the wickedness
of that un-Indian institution!
The statement of Dr. D. K. Pearson, de-
scribed as a "Chicago millionaire philanthro-
pist," who said: "I would rather be John D.
Rockefeller to-day, divested of his wealth and
with his lovable personality, than any of the
crew, saints or sinners, who are attacking
him," reminds this sinner of the reply made
by Thomas B. Reed to the Member of Con-
gress who declared that he "would rather be
right than be President." Dr. Pearson "can't
be either"; that is to say, he can't be either
Rockefeller or one of the crew. Dr. Pearson
can be a toady, and that's all.
There is no panacea for the so-called labor
question, but the union label will cure most of
the symptoms. Demand that emblem when
making purchases in any line !
Look for the Garment Workers' label when
purchasing ready-made clothing of all kinds.
And beware of imitations!

Sale of Carferry.
An order was made some time ago by Court
Commissioner Hugh Ryan, of Milwaukee, re-
straining Captain E. G. Crosby, president of
the Grand Trunk Carferry line, a Milwaukee
corporation, from selling the carferry Grand
Haven, owned by that corporation. The boat
is now advertised for sale at public auction.
The injunction order has just been made pub-
lic. It does not aim to prevent the public auc-
tion sale of November 7, as that is to be made
under foreclosure proceedings broughl by the
Fidelity Trust Co. This company loaned
tin' carferry corporation $175,000.
It is understood that there are several cor-
porations which want the boat, and if she
shoidd leave the present Milwaukee-Grand
Haven line the business of the Detroit. Grand
Haven & Milwaukee Railway Co., which is the
Wisconsin end of the Grand Trunk system,
would lose a good deal of its freight business,
now carried by the ferry.
The Ann Arbor and the Pere Marquette
road as well as the Grand Trunk system.
would like to secure the boat, and the indica-
tions are that, if the sale takes place, there
will be some spirited bidding. The Grand
Trunk system would hi- glad to forestall such
public sale if it could, in order to secure the
boat upon its own terms. The injunction,
however, was to prevent a rumored previous
sale.
The wreck of the Canadian steamer Mel-
bourne, burned in Murray Canal four weeks
ago, has been sold to B. \V. Folger, of Toron-
to. He will have the hulk raised in order to
save the machinery.
May Get Steel Ore Land.
Ge< rge W. Perkins, chairman of the finance
committee of the United States Steel Corpora*
tion, is quoted in a dispatch from New York
as saying that the question of taking over the
(iieat Northern ore lands of the Mesaba range
is again receiving consideration. It is expect-
ed, the dispatch says, that the Great Northern
officials, at a meeting to be held < Jctober 12, will
ratify ; nfract now being prepared concern-
ing the on' lands. Official announcement of
the transaction is said to be prospective on
that date.
The basis of the proposed transfer of con-
trol is not known, but it will include a tonnage
contract of greal value to the Great Northern.
It was tonnage that took the Greal Northern
(>n to the Mesaba range, and the road has
soughl the control of ore only for the purpose
i f controlling the tonnage.
The dispatch says that the deal will I
a royalty basis, but it will certainly have some
provisions regarding annual tonnage. It has
been taken for granted for some time that the
Steel Corporation would ultimately take over
t hi' Hill ore lands, which arc estimated to con-
tain ore in various amounts.
Loss of the Roby.
The barge George YV. Roby which recently
went aground at the Limekiln Crossing,
caught (ire and will be a total loss. The Roby
was built at Lay City in 1889, and was origin-
ally a steamer. W^v days of usefulness in that
class being over, her engines were taken out
last winter and placed in the new steamer F.
L. Robbins. Since then she has been towed by
the steamer Major, formerly the John Mitch-
ell. At the time she grounded at the Lime-
kilns, the Roby was upbound with a cargo of
soft coal, and it is believed this will also be a
total loss. The Roby is owned by W. EL Reck-
er of Cleveland, and has an insurance valua-
tion of $40,000. It is a singular coincidence
that the loss of the Roby. a converted steamer,
should have followed so closely the destruction
by fire of the barge V. H. Ketchum on Lake
Superior, which was also formerly a steam-
boat. The Roby was insured for about $30,-
000. The vessel was in good shape, as a
large amount of repair work was done on her
last winter when her machinery was taken out.
If the present good weather continues so
that work is not hindered, the first cargo of
coal will go on the new Ilanna dock on Con-
nor's I'oini between October 20 and the last
of the month. Rapid progress has been made
on the structure, especially during the recent
past and there is now no doubt whatever that
the half of the structure which it had been in-
tended to finish Ibis winter will be in operation
before the close of navigation. The coal
pockets which will be in the center of the
completed deck, but which are on the casl side
of the half to be finished this season, are Gear-
ing completion, and with the present force en-
gaged on them there will be no difficulty in
concluding the work on them in a short time.
Tin1 three unloading rigs are also about fin-
ished, as is the towei' trestle, which carries
them.
LaKe Captain Dies.
With the passing of Captain E. F. Moore,
another old-time vessclman is <:one. Captain
Moore was born in Harrison, Mich., seventy-
nine years ago, and at the age of sixteen years
began sailing. At twenty-one years he was
master of the passenger steamer Albion, run-
ning between Mt. Clemens and Detroit. He
was afterward active in tu;_r business and be-
came an owner. Captain Moore won admira-
tion in November. 1883, when he went out of
Port Huron with the tug Torrent ic a raging
snowstorm and gale and went up to the
Georgian Hay region and rescued the schoon-
er Merrimac. which had lost her masts and
was al the mercy of a storm. No other cap-
tain in the harbor would venture out, Baying
it was sure death. Later Captain Moore sail-
ed well-known passenger steamers out of De-
troit. He had not sailed for about fifteen
vears. He leaves a widow and daughter.
Perhaps never in the history of Lake com-
merce has the present situation regarding men
on the Lakes been duplicated. At Conneaut
Harbor for two days. October 12 and 13, ml
a single able-seaman was shipped, and only two
ordinary-seamen. There is a large surplus of
men ashore at all Lake Erie ports, while at
upper Lake ports there is a corresponding
shortage. Especially is this true of Lake Su-
perior ports, where it was almost impossible
to gel able-seamen during the week just past.
On October 14 two vessels came down the
Lakes short of their wheelsmen, while at Lake
Erie ports men are crowding the Seamen's
halls and running the docks. By the way,
this latter is something that should be stopped.
The sooner we all stay in the halls and com-
pel ships' officers to ship Us there, the sooner
we will have the respect of those officers.

\V. II. Simpson. General Superintendent
of the Northwestern Fuel Company, at Mil-
waukee, has compiled the following figures re-
lating to the coal supply in Milwaukee, with
total Lake arrivals during the season of Lake
navigation up to October 1. The total receipts
of anthracite for the season up to October
1 were 575,552 tons: of liit uininoiis. 1,139,713
tons, making a grand total for the season of
1,715,265 tons. During the year 314,092 more
tons arrived there than in 1904, although the
September arrivals showed a decrease.
Captain J. C Hume, a retired captain, who
sailed many boats on the Lakes in the early
days, is dead at St. Catherine, aged seventy-
six years, from the results of an accident while
assisting in bringing in some corn stalks to his
barn. He fell from the load, alighting on his
head and fracturing his skull.
John Carlson, of Eseanaba. a seaman on
the steamer John W. dates, while covering
the hatches recently, at Erie, lost his footing
and fell into the hold, the hatch-cover falling
on top of him. lie died from his injuries at
Hamot Hospital.

Marine Notes.
Seventy-five men have been laid off at the
St. Clair plant of the Great Lakes Engineer-
ing works on account of lack of material.
Within a month the entire force will be back
at work, however.
The steamer Western States made her last
trip to Buffalo on October 20, and from that
date until the close of navigation the East-
ern States will cover the route, leaving De-
troit every other day.
One of the most important features of Lor-
ain's new Life-Saving station will be an emer-
gency apparatus which will be kept on a Lake
Shore electric car for instant service. In this
manner the Lorain crew will be able to pro-
tect the Lake shore from Rocky River to San-
dusky. It is expected that work will start in
about three weeks on the construction of the
building.
The tug Walter Vail, operated by the Mil-
waukee Wrecking Company, recently arrived
at Alpena, Mich., for the purpose of recover-
ing the cargo of the steamer Shaw, which went
down off Sturgeon Point, twelve years ago.
Earlier in the season the wreck was located
by the tug Fisherman and four buoys attach-
ed to it, but these have been carried away or
stolen. If the wreck cannot be readily locat-
ed again operations may be suspended until
spring. On the Vail is W. G. Smith, inventor
of the Smith diving bell. He was at Alpena
in 1898 engaged on the wreck of the Pewabic,
lost near the mouth of the bay in the '60s,
with a cargo of copper. An accident to the
diving bell which cost two lives stopped opera-
tions.
The body of a woman, yet unidentified,
was found in the water near Gorgontua, on
the north shore of Lake Superior, recently.
The discovery was made by William Verveile
from a canoe, and he being a justice of the
peace, took charge of the body, which he sent
to the Soo on the United States & Dominion
Transportation Company's steamer Manitou.
It is now awaiting identification, which would
still be possible by anyone knowing deceased
in life, as it is well preserved. Identification
is very difficult, owing to the fact that the
body when found had not a particle of cloth-
ing or even finger rings upon it. It is that of
a woman thirty-five or forty years of age, and
five feet four inches in height. It is thought
to be the cook from the barge, V. II. Ketehum,
which sank in Lake Superior recently, not far
from where the body was found.
An answer has been filed in the Duluth
Admiralty Court in the suit of John Morgan
against the Pittsburg Steamship Company.
This is the suit in which Morgan seeks to ob-
tain $2,000 damages for an alleged brutal as-
sault upon him on the steamer Matpa, of the
Pittsburg line, at Two Harbors not long ago.
He claims the mate of the steamer hit him
with an ax and that Captain Geroux not only
countenanced the act of the mate, but threat-
ened the plaintiff with further dire happen-
ings. The defendant company sets forth in
its answer that Morgan appeared upon the
boat at Two Harbors grossly intoxicated and
repeatedly threatened the mate with bodily
injury, and the mate, in fear of bodily harm,
struck Morgan with an ax and thus subdued
his perturbed spirit. The company claims it
was in no way responsible for the act of the
mate, as he struck Morgan as an individual
and entirely outside of his duty as an officer
of the ship.

(Continued from page 3.)
bad and insufficient food is assigned as the
cause. Even after making due allowance for
the proverbial proneness of seamen to
"prowl," it would seem that where there is so
much smoke there must be some fire. An in-
vestigation of the subject by the Navy De-
partment would undoubtedly be the besl
means to lay the whole trouble on the scrap-
heap of has-been things. If the seamen have
no reasonable cause or causes for deserting
from the Navy this unreasonableness should
be laid bare before the public, whose peace of
mind is being continually disturbed by these
unofficial arraignments of the service which
persist in cropping up in the press. On the
other hand, if the seamen of the Navy have
a just cause or causes for deserting, it is the
plain duty of the Government to look into the
grievances of the men, and as far as possible
rectify whatever may be the matter. If the
cause is, as the seamen claim, bad and insuffi-
cient food, the remedy ought to be quite ap-
parent and easy to a rich government like
ours. If Secretary Bonaparte can not find
time to look into the matter, perhaps Presi-
dent Roosevelt might be induced to do so after
he gets through with the important task of
eliminating brutality from football. Action
of some kind and by some one seems to be
needed badly, if our Navy is to be saved from
the fate of our merchant marine, a service to
be shunned by self-respecting men and boys.
The greatest danger to constitutional lib-
erty lies in the gradual accumulation of arbi-
trary ridings, each forming a precedent for
the next, which the courts of the country are
insidiously substituting for the powers con-
ferred upon them by the Constitution. If
President Roosevelt were all that his warmest
admirers say he is, he would yet be open to
the accusation of having violated the Consti-
tution more than any other President has
done. With such an illustrious example of
wrongdoing before them, it is small wonder
that the Judiciary is weakening in its adher-
ence to Constitutional limitations and pro-
cedures. The saddest and most dangerous
feature of this insidious undermining of our
Constitutional safeguards is its stealthiness,
which hides its sinister potentialities from the
great busy mass of the people. The remedy,
however, is very simple. The people must,
through the Initiative and Referendum, re-
tain the supreme power of government in
their own hands. That is the only way in
which democracy can be preserved, which is
but another way of saying that it is the only
way in which our civilization can be advanced.
Judge F. A. Smith, of Chicago, who recent-
ly declared that "there is no such thing as
peaceful, polite and gentlemanly picketing,
any more than there can be chaste, polite and
gentlemanly vulgarity, or peaceful mobbing,
or lawful lynching," was distinctly fore-
shadowed by Job, when he asked: ""Who is
this that darkeneth counsel by words without
knowledge?" A more senseless, misleading or
incongruous collocation of terms than that de-
vised by Judse Smith could not have been
chosen had the selection been made by open-
ing a dictionary at random and picking the
first word that met the eye. Is there a sane
man in America, who can perceive sufficient
affinity between picketing, vulgarity, mob-
bing, etc., to warrant him in placing them in
the same category for purposes of illustra-
tion 1 If there is. let him speak up now. or
forever after bold bis peace. As for Judge
Smith, he is evidently intellectually in the
same boat witli the distinguished collegian,
whose tongue inadvertently betrayed to the
world that in his mind a scab was somehow
ass< eiated with a hero.
Fag Ends.
Sueccss sanctions everything!
Affliction tries the heart, fortune the head.
Democracy and civilization must rise or fall
together.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and tlie Recall !
The pride that scorns to owe a debt is sadly
Heeded ill lllis ai!e.
Wisdom is simply the capacity to hold fast
that which is good.
The best laid plans of mice and men usually
leave the lawyers but a choice of evils.
Nothing is so obtusely dense as the mental
brightness that never introspects itself.
The truth is never "discovered,"' but only
liberated from its hiding-place.
It is much more difficult to instruct and im-
prove men than to humbug and debase them.
'•There is nothing new under the sun," in
essence; but in form everything is being con-
stantly renewed.
Where resistance to legalized injustice is a
moral issue, obedience to government morally
ceases to be a civic duty.
Power without responsibility is always dan-
gerous, for no man or set of men are wise or
cood at all tines.
A good cause is never so much in danger
from the machinations of its enemies as from
the indiscreet zeal of its friends.
Revolutions are psychological storms; and
even as the sea is always rough and dangerous
long after the storm has died away, so a peo-
ple in revolt will be dangerous to organized
society and government long after the causes
of the revolt have been removed.
The many schisms in religion and politics
are really symptoms of human progress; for
did we all think alike on these subjects, what
with the known infirmities of human nature,
it is much more likely that we would all be
wrong in our beliefs than that we would all be
right
A writer in the London Times is alarmed at
England's lack of maritime prestige in the
Atlantic. He calls attention to the tonnage
of the German lines, particularly those of
Hamburg and Bremen, cites the fact that they
have large, fast ships in course of construc-
tion, but that no one of them are turbines.
He intimates a doubt as to whether the turbine
is to be on the ocean in shape of a ship pro-
peller what it is in the office of the draftsman
or engineer.

gate and report on the local systems for
electrical lighting, telegraph and tele-
phone communication.
Prank S. Komp, of Chicago, the for-
mer president of the Kenosha (Wis.)
State Bank, convicted of perjury, has
been sentenced to two years at hard labor
in the State prison.
The War Department has awarded con-
tracts for all the material required for
the installation of an elaborate wireless
telegraph system in the southern part of
the Philippine Islands.
The Lynn county (la.) Grand Jury
has returned three indictments against
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad, for alleged discrimination in
passenger rates.
The French Parliament will be asked
to offer a $200,000 prize for a cure of
consumption. The project has the ap-
proval of the Government and therefore
its adoption is assured.
The elections of the Russian Nation-
al Assembly will commence November
12. On account of the indirect system
adopted the election will cover a period
of from ten days to two weeks.
The Governor of the Dutch East
Indies has reported that the troops have
attacked the rebels in the Gova country.
Fifty natives were killed. The Dutch
troops lost seven men killed.
It is said that the Canadian side of
Niagra Falls has receeded 300 feet dur-
ing the last eighty years, and an investi-
gation will be made by the International
Waterways Commission.
It is said that owing to President
Roosevelt's opposition to his Cabinet
officers mixing in general politics, the
members of his official family will con-
fine their speeches to places in their own
States.
The American Humane Association, re-
cently in convention at Philadelphia, Pa.,
rejected a resolution offered by Miss
Hall, of Cincinnati, advocating a na-
tional law authorizing administration of
anesthetics to those dying in agony.
At the conclusion of a week 's trial
District Judge Good of Auburn, Neb.,
has sustained a motion to dismiss the
charge against Charles M. Chamberlain,
accused of wrecking the Chamberlain
Bank of Tecumseh. The specific charge
was embezzlement.
The announcement ha3 just been made
that the formal opening of the Simplon
tunnel will have to be again postponed
until next spring. It appears that the
boring of the parallel gallery cannot be
proceeded with as fast as was ex-
pected because of about 1500 feet of
crumbling rock found near the Italian
entrance.
The famous fair of Niji-Novgorod, in
Russia, which has just ended, has proved
this year a greater failure than in many
years past. It is said that the develop-
ment of railroads in Russia and the
adoption on a larger scale of modern
business methodsare causes of the dimin-
ution of the volume of business transact-
ed at the fair. Many Moscow merchants
no longer send goods and products to 1 lie
once famous fair.
President Roosevelt, through the State
Department, has issued an order con-
cerning examinations (or the Civil Ser

officer or employo of the Government
shall directly or indirectly instruct, or be
concerned in any manner in the instruc-
tion of, any person or classes of persona
with a view to their special preparation
for the examination of the United Stales
Civil Service Commission. The fact that
any officer or employe is found so en-
gaged sliall be considered sufficient cause
for his removal from the service."

The New /.calami Department of Agri-
culture has appointed two women as
dairy inspectors.
The engineers on the Moscow ami St.
sburg Railroad struck on October
20. Railroad employes have issued a call
for a general strike.
The doctors in the hospitals at Bor-
deaux, France, who struck on October 7,
resumed their duties on the 16th, the di-
rectorates of the institution having
granted the demands.
The strike of the electrical workers in
Berlin, Germany, is ended. At a confer-
ence on October 14 the delegates of the
workingmen voted to accept the associ-
ated companies' original offer of 5 per
cent, increase in wages.
Over a thousand farm laborers made
desperate by famine, invaded a market
place at Kcija, forty-eight miles from
Seville, Spain, recently, seized the entire
stock of goods and money, destroyed the
market and threw the town into a panic.
The authorities hastily applied for mili-
tary relief.
The employes of the Moscow and Kaz-
an Railroad struck on October 20 and
traffic on the road is interrupted. 'I'll.'
strikers induced a stoppage of work on
the Yaroslav and Archangel Railroad
and attempted to hold a meeting in the
streets, but were dispersed by Cossacks
and police.
The Governor of Odessa on October -(l
issued an order to the police instructing
them that in the event of disturbances
they are to fire directly into the mobs
without any preliminary volleys in the
air. This order, it is stated, will have a
deterrent effect on proposed gatherings
for the purpose of disorder.
Recent unjustifiable and uncalled-for
wage-reducing awards by the West Aus-
tralian Arbitration Court have thorough-
ly disgusted the workers in that State,
who have lost all confidence in that body
as at present constituted. In union cir-
cles the Court is universally regarded as
' ' the weapon in the hands of employers. ' '
The weavers in four mills at Cora,
Germany, having refused to withdraw
notice of an intention to strike, the ASSO
ciation of Mill Owners declared a gen-
eral shut-down of their factories on Oc-
tober 15. This action has thrown 20,000
persons out of employment, and it is ex-
pected to lead to lockouts in a number of
other Thuringian and Saxon towns.
The general conditions in connection
with Xew South Wales Works Depart-
ment contract's provide for union rates of
pay as follows: Bricklayers, lis. per
day; masons. Is. 4'L.d. per hour (44
hours per week) ; quarrymen, 8s. per day;
crane-men, 9s. per day; bricklayers' la-
borers, 9s. pel day; laborers (pick and
shovel), 7s. per day; tool sharpeners
(blacksmiths), Is. 3d. per hour.
Notwithstanding the furnishing by
the Government of a number of rurales
to act as guards on the engines of the
Mexican Central for the protection of
any firemen that the company might
secure, the officials have not yet suc-
ceeded in resuming traffic. The State
authorities have taken the matter in
hand and have given the firemen three
days in which to decide to return to
work or get out of the city.
The "hunger strike," which began on
October 2 in the women 's department of
one of the large prisons at St.. Peters-
burg, Russia, devoted to the detention of
political offenders, has become general.
For three days all the inmates of the
prison have been refusing to eat as a
protest against the rough treatment of
a female prisoner and the general ad-
ministrative conditions in the prison.
The prisoners are mainly Socialists,
many of whom were arrested recently.
Letters are advertised for six months
and kept at the Sailors' Union Office for
twelve months, all told. If not called
for at the expiration of one year letters
will be returned to the Postoffice.

Prance dangerously near to war, and that
(ireat Britain, while not. officially promis-
ing military aid, stood ready to give
Prance her loyal support.

fic there, at immense cost to the United

SEAMEN AND LONGSHOREMEN.
Causes of Dispute Reviewed.
Facts and Argument of the Case.
THE "jurisdiction" dispute between the Inter- 1. The designations, "Seamen
national Seamen 's Union of America and the
International Longshoremen 's Association has
become a matter of immediate concern to the
labor movement of the country. Upon the manner
in which that dispute is finally settled will depend the
disposition of the ' ' jurisdiction ' ' question generally,
and the whole course of the labor movement.
The importance of the question demands that ev-
ery means be exhausted to find and present the facts
in the case, not only for the guidance of the princi-
pals to the controversy, but also for the benefit of
the whole membership of organized labor. Accord-
ingly the Journal presents the following statement
of the case. It will be said, of course, that this
statement is ex parte — the statement of one side only.
To this point we would reply by assuring the reader
that the facts herein stated are matters of record, and
therefore capable of documentary proof by the of-
ficial records of both sides. As to the soundness of the
reasoning and arguments used in connection with the
facts, the reader must judge for himself. We feel
confident, however, that, the facts being proved, the
conclusions that naturally follow are so plain as to leave
no room for question. In any event, we pledge our-
selves to make an honest and complete presentation
of the subject ; to say or suggest nothing unfairly
prejudicial to one side or beneficial to the other, and
to leave nothing unsaid that is necessary to full un-
derstanding and impartial judgment. A good case
needs neither cloak nor bolster.
THE FACTS OF THE CASE.
As is generally known, the dispute between the
Seamen and the Longshoremen arises primarily
through the action of the latter in changing their
name from International Longshoremen 's Association
to "International Longshoremen, Marine and Trans-
port Workers ' Association. ' ' This change of name,
implying, as it does, a change in jurisdiction, is ob-
jected to by the Seamen. The Seamen, being both
marine and transport workers, regard the change of
name by the Longshoremen as an attempt by the
latter to extend jurisdiction over the former. This
attempt, in turn, is regarded as a direct menace to
the existence of the International Seamen 's Union of
America. Upon these grounds the Seamen have upon
every possible occasion appealed to the highest au-
thority in the labor movement — the American Federa-
tion of Labor — for such protection as that body may
be able to afford, specifically for a declaration requir-
ing the Longshoremen to discontinue the "long name."
So far, the total result of that appeal is signified by
the refusal of the American Federation of Labor to
recognize the "long name." It is proper at this
time to point out that the Boston convention of the
Federation made a flat declaration on the subject, in
line with the appeal of the Seamen, but that declara-
tion ha3 produced no effect upon the situation. Prac-
tically, therefore, the case stands as at first. The
Longshoremen continue to use the "long name" and
to assert the claims thereby implied.
Accordingly, the International Seamen's Union of
America still insists that the American Federation of
Labor shall formally declare against the use of the
title, "International Longshoremen, Marine and
Transport Workers ' Association, ' ' and enforce such
declaration to the utmost extent of its power. The
Seamen base their appeal for this action upon the
following grounds:
and ' ' Long-
shoremen, ' ' APPEARING IN THE RESPECTIVE CHARTERS
of these organizations, carry with them a uni-
versally accepted understanding of the jurisdic-
tion respectively granted, that of the seamen
extending over all men employed in any capac-
ity as members of the crew of any vessel; that
of the Longshoremen extending over all men
employed exclusively in the work of loading and
unloading vessels, where the crews are not em-
ployed in such work, or in assisting the latter
when they are so employed.
2. In 1902, the International Longshoremen's
Association, in its convention, adopted the title,
"International Longshoremen, Marine and
Transport Workers' Association," with the ex-
press AND DECLARED PURPOSE OF "EXTENDING THEIR
jurisdiction" and "gathering in allied crafts."
3. The jurisdiction which it is thus proposed
to embrace includes that previously granted to
the Seamen by the terms of the latters' char-
ter, AND THE ' ' ALLIED CRAFTS ' ' WHICH IT IS THUS
PROPOSED TO "GATHER IN" INCLUDE A NUMBER OF
MARITIME CRAFTS WHICH RIGHTFULLY AND NECES-
SARILY COME UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE INTER-
NATIONAL Seamen's Union of America.
4. In PURSUANCE OF THE CLAIMS SET UP BY THE
Longshoremen under their assumed title, the
Longshoremen 's local unions in various ports
have declared their refusal to work with mem-
bers of certain local unions of the internation-
AL Seamen's Union of America, thus in some in-
stances FORCING THE LATTER OUT OF EMPLOYMENT
at their proper calling.
5. The refusal of the Longshoremen to work
with the Seamen, while ostensibly based upon
the allegation that the latter, when engaged
in loading or discharging vessels, are performing
Longshoremen 's work, is in fact an attack upon
the Seamen's rights and duties under the mari-
time LAW, WHICH RIGHTS AND DUTIES BOTH THE SEA-
MAN AND HIS EMPLOYER ARE MUTUALLY BOUND BY
LAW TO RESPECT AND DISCHARGE.
G. These actions on the part of the Long-
shoremen CONSTITUTE A GRAVE MENACE TO THE AU-
TONOMY of the International Seamen 's Union
of America, and will, if permitted to continue,
either by tacit consent of the american federa-
TION of Labor or by inability on the part of the
Seamen to defend them ski. ves, result in the ul-
timate DESTRUCTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL SEA-
MEN 's Union, or in its absorption by the organi-
zation OF another and separate craft, which al-
ternative WOULD RESULT IN THE DESTRUCTION OF
the Seamen's hopes of protection and improve-
ment.
7. The American Federation of Labor, at its
three last conventions has refused to recognize
the new title assumed by the Longshoremen, not-
withstanding which fact the latter have contin-
ued to use said title and to usurp the authority
thereby implied, in pursuance of their declared
determination to ignore the rights of the Sea-
men and the rulings of the American Federation
of Labor.
"seaman" and "longshoreman" defined.
These grounds may be considered separately and in
the order here set forth. By law and custom, as these
prevail everywhere among maritime peoples, the term
"seaman" is understood to mean a man who works
on the sea, without respect to particular classes of men
or particular classes of sea, or water. Thus the marine
fireman or marine cook is as much a seaman as is the
so-called able-seaman or deckhand. Similarly, the man
employed on a vessel on the Great Lakes, the rivers or
inland waters, is as much a seaman as is the man em-
ployed on the ocean-going vessel. Specific names, such
as "sailor," "fireman," "cook," etc., are used
merely as a convenience in common language for the
identification of individuals, not as conveying a sense
of differentiation as between crafts.
On the other hand, the meaning of the term ' ' long-
shoreman" is equally clear and equally well under-
stood, as descriptive of a man who works along the
shore, specifically as a man who loads and unloads
vessels. Wherever the longshoreman is found his
identity is clearly recognized as that of a man whose
work consists in transferring freight, as distinguished
from the work of transporting it. That is to say, the
longshoreman transfers freight from one vehicle of
transportation to another, as from a railroad car or
truck to a ship, or vice versa. The fact that a long-
shoreman may break out, atow or sling freight on
hoard ship does not constitute him a marine worker,
any more than such action constitutes him a seaman,
nor than his action in loading or unloading a truck or
a railroad ear constitutes him a teamster or a railroad-
man. The Longshoremen attempt to justify their
claims by the invention of a strained and sophistical
classification of the term "seaman." In a brief sub-
mitted to the Executive Council of the American Fed-
eration of Labor, at its meeting of March 13-18, 1905,
t lie Longshoremen say:
"For example, we have avoided the word 'sailor'
or 'seaman', or anything that would seem to carry the
idea of confounding any person, or the public in
eral, with the thought that our organization embraced
t lie 'man before the mast.' "
That the foregoing is an attempt to confuse the
issue — to create artificial distinctions — may be seen
by reference to the United States law on the subject.
The term "seaman" is comprehensively defined in
Section 4612, Revised Statutes, as follows:
"In the construction of this Title (R. S., 4501-
4613), every person having command of any vessel be-
longing to any citizen of the United States shall be
deemed to be the 'master' thereof; and EVERY PER-
SON (apprentices excepted) who shall be employed
or engaged to serve in any capacity on board the
same shall be deemed and taken to be a 'seaman';
and the term 'vessel' shall be understood to compn
bend every description of vessel navigating
op any sea or channel, lake or river, to which the pro-
visions of this Title may be applicable, and the term
'owner' shall be taken and understood to comprehend
.ill the several persons, if more than one, to whom the
vessel shall belong."
Tims we find, upon the best possible authority, that
every person, (master and apprentices excepted)
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
employed or engaged (that is, as members of the crew)
to serve ix ANY CAPACITY is a "seaman." The
attempt of the Longshoremen to make it appeal that
the latter term is confined to the "man before the
mast" is ridiculous, and argues either gross ignorance
of the subject, 01 a wanton contempt for ordinary in-
telligence.
PROOF OF LONGSHOREMEN'S DESIGNS.
Concerning the motive of the Longshoremen in
changing the title of their organization, it is sufficient
to quote the records of the convention at which the
change was made. At that convention, held in Chi-
cago, 111., duly 1419, 1902, a number of resolutions
were introduced looking to a change of title, each of
which was so worded as to convey an understanding
thai the terms used referred to separate and distinct
crafts or callings. In the official proceedings of the
convention (page 152) appears the following, in con-
aection with the resolution finally adopted:
"This resolution brought forth a good deal of dis-
cussion by many of the delegates. It was clearly dom-
trated by the arguments presented that this was
the important resolution of the convention.
retary Barter occupied the floor for nearly one
hour, telling of the progress of the Association since
its formation, and pointed out THE NECESSITY of
EXPANDING THE JURISDICTION OF OUR ASSOCIATION AS
WELL AS BROADENING THE NAME OF OUR ASSOCIATION.
Stated that the time had come when we must favor
or reject the question of changing the name of our
Delation. If we were desirous of progressing it was
ssary that the name be changed and the STYLE of
on; ORGANIZATION BE BROADENED. If the reverse was to
be the will of the convention our Association would
retrograde, lie was in hopes that the resolution aa
presented by Delegate Joyce would be adopted in its
cut irety.
It is quite evident from the foregoing that the
Longshoremen acted with the express purpose of "ex-
panding the jurisdiction * * as well as
broadening the name" of their organization. Numer-
ous other evidences of the same nature are contained
in the official proceedings of the Longshoremen. For
instance, Secretary Barter, in his report to the con-
vent hm at which the change was made, spoke as fol-
lows:
"A brilliant future is assured for our Association
if we are wise enough to prepare foi it. 1 again
Strongly recommend the advisability of extending
THE .JURISDICTION OF OUR ASSOCIATION TO GAIN CON-
TROL OF ALL LABOR ENGAGED IN THE MARITIME AND
.SPORT INDUSTRY. IT IS NECESSARY THAT WE
BEACH OUT AND GATHER ALLIED INTERESTS, SO THAT
INSTEAD OF SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS STRUGGLING FOR
BETTER THINGS. THERE SHALL BE BUT ONE UNIFIED
BODY, UNDER WHOSE DIRECTION MARITIME AND TRANS-
PORT WORKERS SHALL OPERATE.
The opportunities for growth are bright with golden
promise. We have but to stand to straight business
methods, wateli every chance and take instant advan-
tage of it SB it arises, and the Association must in time
become the largest International Trade Union on this
continent. Every ship that plows the inland seas,
OR FURROWS THE WATERS OF THE WIDER OCEANS THAT
WASH THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC PORTS SOUTHWARD
K) THE 1,1'I.F, MUST EVENTUALLY DIP ITS FLAG TO OUR
ASSOCIATION. We ARE THE TRUE MONARCH S OF THE
SEAS. AT OUR BEHEST THE GREYHOUNDS OK THE OCEANS,
AND THE ELVERS OF THE LAKES ARE STAYED IN THEIR
IGBESS OR SPEEDED ON THEIR COURSES. WE HOLD
THE BALANCE EVEN. WE REGULATE UNFAIR CONDITIONS.
We redress injustice. By the might of our right
WE MAKE RIGHT MIGHT, AND IN PLACE OF FOSTERING
ANTAGONISMS, WE PROMOTE GOOD WILL AND PEACE."
These official declarations, and others of the same
r made at subsequent conventions, leave no
doubt as to the designs of the Longshoremen. It is
clearly the intention of the latter, not only to "gath-
er in 'allied interests.' but in fact to form an indus-
trial association which shall be monarch not alone of
the seas, but of everything it surveys. It is signifi-
cant, in this connection, to note the explanation re-
cently offered by tic- Longshoremen to the Executive
Council of the American Federation of Labor, in which
it is stutcd thai the new title was not intended to im-
ply any change in the character of the organization,
but uas merely intended to more explicitly describe the
organization as it then existed. To quote the state-
ment in question: "We coined the word that when
universally understood would properly classify all ma-
rine workers, without encroaching upon the distinc-
tively or commonly known trades or callings." In
other words, the Longshoremen proposed to classify
within their own ranks all marine workers, excepting
only the "man before the mast." The weakne-
this obvious after-thought confirms, rather than dis-
proves, thi charge that the change of title was part of
a pre determined and avowed plan to extend the jur-
isdiction of the International Longshoremen's Associa-
t ion.
BASIS OF TRADE-UNION'S FOWER.
That the jurisdiction which the Longshoremen pro-
pose to embrace includes that of the Seamen, and
that the "allied crafts" which the Longshoremen pro-
to "gather in" include a number which right-
fully come under the jurisdiction of the International
Seamen's Union of America, may be seen by a brief
consideration of the construction and purposes of the
trade-union. Workers in a given trade organize
su that they may be able to control the operation of
that trade. To the extent that this object is accom-
plished the trade-union is enabled to secure just con-
t employment, since only by granting these
Conditions Can the trade be operated. The trade-
union is proportionately weak and inefficient to the
extent that the given" trade can be carried on inde-
pendently of its will in the matter of conditions of
employment. It makes no difference whether the
ability of the employer to carry on work is due to
lack of organization in the given trade or to lack of
concert between the organizations of two or more dif-
ferent trades; the result is the same, namely, the work
goes on, and the strike, if one takes place, is broken.
Coming now to the case of organization among sea-
men, the first thing to be noted is that the ship, or
vessel of any kind, upon which seamen are employed
is designed primarily, and in fact solely, for the pur-
pose of transporting freight and passengers. The
work of loading and unloading the vessel is incidental
to the purpose of transportation. Therefore it is es-
sential that a trade-union of seamen must be so organ-
ized as to control the operation, i. e., the movement,
of the vessel. In order to exercise this control every
seaman on a given vessel must be organized under a
single authority. The Longshoremen are kind enough
to grant to the Seamen jurisdiction over the "man be-
fore the mast," but claim for themselves jurisdiction
over the marine firemen and other classes of maritime
labor. Obviously, this is a very small favor, amount-
ing, in effect, to a proposal to divide a ship's crew
against itself. In steam vessels the power of the fire-
man is co-equal with that of the "man before the
mast "in the all-important matter of moving the vessel.
A vessel manned in the fire-room by men acting under
authority of the Longshoreman could be, and doubtless
would be, moved as soon as she was loaded or discharg-
ed. Consequently, the movement of the vessel would
be controlled by consideration of the longshoremen 's
conditions, regardless of the conditions of the sea-
man. The "man before the mast" might strike, but
his strike would be likely to prove abortive the mo-
ment the vessel pulled away from the dock. In such
case the Longshoremen would indeed be the "true
monarch's of the seas, "while the seamen would be mere-
ly so many subjects, or rather serfs, compelled to ac-
cept whatever pittance might remain when the fruits
of maritime transportation had been divided between
the "monarchs, " and their employers, the shipowners.
The plan of organization pursued by the Longshore-
men has for its real object a division of the seafaring
craft in order the better to aggrandize the longshore
craft. As in the fable of the monkey who "divided"
the cheese among the cats, by the process of nibbling
a piece off each share in order to "equalize" them,
the Longshoremen would "divide" the profits of the
shipping business by swallowing the larger part them-
selves and leaving the balance to be fought for by Sea-
men and shipowners.
MEASURES OF OFFENSE AND DEFENSE.
Notwithstanding the declarations of the Longshore-
men, that they do not propose to embrace the "man
before the mast" in their scheme of "gathering in al-
lied crafts," they have formally announced their re-
fusal to work with the latter individual, thus practical-
ly asserting a claim to jurisdiction over the work prop-
erly belonging to and commonly performed by the lat-
ter. Proof of this attitude is contained in the fol-
lowing resolution, adopted by the convention of the
Pacific Coast Branch of the International Longshore-
men's Association, held at Astoria, Or., June 6-9,
1904:
"Whereas, The Sailors' Union of the Pacific per-
mit their members to work on foreign-going vessels;
and
Whereas, Such action on the part of the seamen is
detrimental to all Longshore locals handling and load-
ing lumber; be it
Resolved, That this convention notify all locals now
working such vessels in conjunction with sailors to
desist in the future and refuse to work with sailors
on all foreign-going vessels."
The intent and effect of this resolution was to de-
prive the members of the Sailors ' Union of the Pacific
of employment upon the vessels concerned. The own-
ers of these vessels, being desirous of securing the
prompt dispatch of their craft, discharged the sea-
men and employed longshoremen in their places. In
order to maintain its rights in the matter, the Sailors '
Union of the Pacific determined that, if necessary,
its members should do all the work of loading, both
on the vessels and on the docks. This determination
was reached by a general vote on the following resolu-
tion:
' ' Whereas, The third annual convention of the Pa-
cific Const Branch of the International Longshore-
men's Association, held at Astoria, Or., June 6 to 9,
inclusive, adopted a resolution declaring that 'mem-
bers of Longshore unions refuse to work with sailors
doing longshore work on foreign vessels'; and
Whereas, In so far as the resolution here cited is in-
tended to operate against the members of any ves-
sel's crew (or substitutes employed temporarily in
place thereof) while engaged in any capacity in con-
nection with the handling of cargo, on board ship, it
is calculated to work a denial of the seaman 's right
to all work done 'inside the rail,' and is consequent-
ly an infringement upon the legitimate interests of
the seaman ; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, that
members of this Union hereby declare their insistence
at all times upon the right to perform any and all
kinds of labor, including handling cargo, inside the
rail, without hindrance or objection upon the part of
any other organization; further
Resolved, That the members of this Union also de-
clare their determination to take such steps as may
be necessary in any case to insure the prompt dispatch
of vessels affected by the conditions herein named."
This action was taken by the Sailors' Union of the
Pacific as a simple measure of self-defense, necessitat-
ed by the refusal of the Longshoremen 's local unions
to recognize the former's right to employment upon a
class of work within the rightful jurisdiction of the
Seamen.
SEAMAN'S RIGHTS AND DUTIES.
Passing to the question of tie- Seamen's right to
work cargo on board ship, which work the Longshore-
men claim for themselves, on the ground that it is
"longshore work," it is important to note the law on
the point. We have already referred to the United
states Revised Statutes (Sec. 4612) by way of ex-
plaining the legal meaning of the term "seaman."
The same section defines the seaman's duties, as fol-
lows :
"And the said crew agree to conduct themselves
in an orderly, faithful, honest and sober manner, and
to be at all times diligent in their respective duties,
and to be obedient to the lawful commands of the said
master, or of any person who shall lawfully succeed
him. and of their superior officers in everything re-
lating TO THE VESSEL, AND THE STORES AND
THEREOF, WHETHER ON BOARD, IN BOATS OR ON SHORE."
In accordance with this definition, the seaman may
In' ordered to work cargo, and upon his refusal to
obey, he may be, and in fact is, punished by fines,
forfeitures and imprisonment. In order to under-
stand this phase of the question it is necessary to con-
sider it in the light of historical growth. Originally
the seaman performed all the work of loading and dis-
charging the vessel. As the size of vessels increased
and crews became relatively smaller particular classes
of work were relegated to particular (lasses of work-
men. Among the latter classes there came into exist-
ence a class of men whose business it was to help the
seaman in loading and discharging cargo, in order that
the vessel might have quicker dispatch. Thus ire note
the genesis of the longshoreman.
The claim of the uongshoremen, that the work of
loading and discharging vessels is "longshore work"
holds good only so far as regards that part of such
work as is performed on the shore, or deck, and even
in that regard the claim is based more upon the cus-
tom prevailing in certain ports than upon any inherent
virtue. It is not true,as the Longshoremen say, that the
work of loading and discharging vessels is customarily
performed by longshoremen, to the exclusion of the
vessels' crews. For the greater part, such work is per-
formed exclusively by the vessels' crews, and, for the
test, the crews are employed in such work to tie- ex-
tent of their numbers, assisted by longshoremen where
such assistance is deemed necessary for the prompt
tch of vessels.
"UNITED WE STAND; DIVIDED WE FALL
We come now to the menace offend by the Long-
shoremen in their claims to jurisdiction over thi
men's calling. The Longshoremen point to the fact
that only on the Pacific Coast do the crews of
perform what they (the Longshoremen) are phased
to call "longshore work." The Seamen may very
well reply by pointing to the fact that only on the
Pacific Coast have they been able to establish and
maintain, for any considerable period, an efficient or-
ganisation. These facts constitute more than a mere
coincidence; they are related as cause and effect. The
Seamen^ right to work cargo on the vessel, and the
exercise of that right, implies continuous employment.
This one condition explains the fact that the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific has been able to accomplish more
for its members and the seafaring craft at large than
any other similar organization in the world. The
Longshoremen's suggestion that the Seamen shall sur-
render the rights now enjoyed and exercised by their
members on the Pacific Coast is simply an invitation to
surrender the conditions that have made organization
an effective factor in the affairs of the maritime craft.
That suggestion, if adopted by the Seamen, would re-
duce them to the precarious conditions that exist
among the craft in certain other places, the character-
istics of which are enforced idleness and consequent
poverty', with their inevitable sequence of dependence
upon the degrading crimping system.
Experience, dearly bought through generations of
suffering to which no other class of labor has been
subjected, has taught the Seamen the full force of the
maxim that "he who would be free, himself must
strike the blow." Many well-meant efforts have been
made by the "seamen's friends" to ameliorate the
lot of the seafaring class, but without avail. The
seaman has learned to help himself, and with that
knowledge has come the conviction that only by asso-
ciating himself with other members of his craft, and by
preserving the organization thus created from internal
Control or interference by members of other crafts,
can he hope for present or future improvement. In a
word, the Seamen have tested the principle of "trade-
union autonomy," as contradistinguished from "in-
dustrialism," ami proved it sound. For the main-
tenance of that principle the Seamen are now contend-
ing. The Longshoremen, on their part, are contend-
ing for approval of their plan to form a federation, or
"industrial" union, ostensibly in conformity with the
laws of the American federation of Labor, but actu-
ally and knowingly in defiance of these laws, and with
the thinly disguised intention of creating an opposi-
tion body which shall be not only "monarch of the
seas," but also monarch, boss and despot id' the
American labor movement.
The facts herein set forth are irrefutable. Recog-
nizing these facts, the American Federation of Labor
can not do less than repudiate the assumption of the
Longshoremen to jurisdiction over the Seamen, either
as to tin- membership or as to the work that rightfully
belongs to the hitter. Whatever attempts be made to
confuse the issue, the truth stands out too clearly to
permit of misapprehension by ordinary intelligence
.lid comn conscience. The truth is in the mouths of
in Longshoremen themselves, and it condemns them
beyond the hope of redemption by resort to dust-rais-
ing tact ics.

New YorR's Water Traffic.
For years past the citizens of New York
City have at odd times made more or ]ess ef-
fective attempts to stem the steady decline
of the shipping of that port, but until quite
recently no concerted movement to that end
has been made. The causes of the decline
are, briefly, railroad discriminations and ex-
orbitant port charges, chief among which are
the high dock rentals. So onerous have these
imposts been that it is estimated that in the
last twenty years fully thirty per cent of the
port's commerce has been diverted to Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Newport News.
It is therefore proposed to unite under one po-
litical banner all those who are directly in-
terested in the commerce of New York, for
the purpose of obtaining legislation that will
remedy the evils complained of. Various
maritime bodies have already rallied to the
support of the movement, the most impor-
tant in point of numbers being the "Long-
shoremen's Independent Political Union."
Their platform is as follows:
First — That we will advocate the continuation of ex-
tending our dock system as fast as it is possible to
do so, until there is ample dock room for all shipping,
at reasonable rates.
Second — That the city shall not rent any of the new
piers now building in that section of our water-front
that lies between Whitehall and Koosevelt streets, on
the East River, to railroad companies or steamship
companies, but operate them according to law for the
benefit of outside shipping, such as tramp steamers or
irregular lines, as we believe it will bring back the
activity that once prevailed along South street.
Third — That the city shall provide a terminal or
terminals for the new Barge Canal.
Fourth — That the city shall build suitable buildings
for men seeking employment at intervals around the
port of New York.
Fifth — That the city shall erect a series of drink-
ing fountains around the port of New York.
Sixth — That the city officials must enforce the law
in regard to the water-front, and not permit railroad
companies and steamship companies or any other par-
ties to use the city's property as a storehouse.
Seventh — That the city shall designate one dock out
or every ten, to be known as a public dock, for the
convenience of our local merchants, and erect thereon
a shed for recreation purposes, such docks to be oper-
ated according to law.

has jurisdiction over the city's docks, and of
which the Mayor is the head, so that the de-
mands of the Longshoremen's Independent
Political Union could be laid before that
body. Instead of doing so, however, Mayor
McClellan sent the following letter in reply :
H P. Griffin, Esq., Cor. Secy. The Longshoremen's
Ind. Political Union, 16C Christopher Street, New
York: , , .
Dear Sir — I have the honor to acknowledge your
letter of October 13. It has been the policy of the
present administration to develop the water-front and
increase facilities for shipping, so as to invite new
commerce to our port. To that end new piers have
been constructed, and other water-front improvements
have been projected. I am heartily in sympathy with
every impulse of your organization to expand our dock
system, and I shall be glad at all times to confer with
those who are interested in the upbuilding of our
water traffic, because I recognize, as- you do, that its
development is of the highest importance to New York.
I beg to invite your attention to the plank in the plat-
f orrn adopted by the City Convention, which nominat-
ed the ticket. It reads as follows:
"We favor the maintenance of existing docks and
the building of new ones ample in extent to meet all
the requirements of oversea trade, as essential to the
continuance of New York's position as the commercial
metropolis of the New World. We also favor such a
reduction in the dock charges, imposed by the Jusion
administration, as will relieve trade, and invite, rather
than repel, foreign commerce, while safeguarding the
city treasury."
I trust that I have made my position on this sub-
ject entirely clear. Yours very truly,
GEO. B. McCLELLAN,
Mayor.
The Longshoremen's Independent Political
Union is not satisfied with the more diplo-
matic than direct reply of Mayor McClellan,
so it is proposed to sound the nominees for
Mayor on the other two city tickets, and to
pledge the support of the organization to the
one who makes the most liberal concessions to
the demands for an improved dock system.
It is believed that the organization has enough
voters among its members to throw the elec-
tion to whichever side it thinks deserving of
its support.
" Giant Waves."
The recent accident to the Cunard liner
Campania, caused by a "giant wave," which
washed overboard six of her passengers, and
injured thirty or forty more, has raised a con-
troversy among the nautical sharps on some
of the newspapers about the existence or non-
existence of such waves. The nautical editor
of the New York Times, for instance, pooh-
poohs the theory of "giant waves," and, in
effect, ascribes the mishap to the Campania, to
what may be termed a failure on the part of
that vessel to make the proper connection with
the sea that swept her decks. This hypothesis
may be correct in this particular case, but it
is well known to seamen that in almost every
great storm at sea there is sure to be one wave,
and sometimes three consecutive waves, so
much greater in volume than the others as to
make it a truly awesome spectacle, as well as
more than ordinarily dangerous. It usually
makes its appearance during the height of the
gale, and its mountain-like ridge can be seen
for miles to windward towering above the
crests of the other waves. A shipmaster who
knows his business will always prepare to
meet one of these big waves in such a manner
that the vessel may receive the least damage
from the impact. On sighting the wave the
vessel, if a steamer, should be immediately
slowed down so as to give her barely steerage-
way, and headed up to take the oncoming
wave about two or three points on the bow,
and the engines stopped entirely a minute or
so before the expected impact. Similarly, in
a sailing vessel lying to, everything should be
done to at once bring her head as close to the
wind as possible. If she carries a fore-top-
mast staysail, it should be hauled down, even
if it should be blown to ribbons. A tarpaulin
should be run up in the mizzen rigging, and
the helm, if hard a Ice at the time, should be
eased, as this often has a tendency to tem-
porarily help the vessel head up in the wind.
In a sailing vessel running before the wind
there is nothing else to do but keep her as
"dead" before it as she can be steered and
order all hands to a place of safety, prefer-
ably up in the rigging. In all cases, passen-
gers should be kept below. Even with every
possible precaution, a vessel seldom escapes
without damage from an encounter with one
of these monster waves.
Mongolian Servants.
It is a curious fact that some of the most
atrocious suggestions which appear in the
newspapers for the industrial betterment of
society invariably pretend to be actuated by
a pro-bono-publico spirit. Dr. Johnson un-
doubtedly had something like this in mind
when he said that "patriotism is the last ref-
uge of a scoundrel." A little while ago the
New York Times contained two editorials,
headed respectively, "The Competition of
Japan," and "The Servant-Girl Problem."
The former dealt with the cheapness of Jap-
anesese labor, and the latter with the dearness
of American domestic help. A party who
signed himself, "A Friend of All Classes,"
thereupon wrote to the editor of the Times
that the two aforesaid editorials "answered
each other," and continued as follows:
So long as the demand for any article is greater
than the supply the price will be exorbitant. Hence
the high wages of unskilled servants. It is well known
that the service of the Japanese and Chinese laborers
is the best in the world, and while we are refusing to
permit their emigration to this country we must suffer
for it. There is no need of admitting the criminal and
opium-eating classes, but it would surely be for the
benefit of all employers and of every household to ad-
mit all others. Then householders could have skilled
service for reasonable wages, both in country and
city, all over the land. Farmers would have plenty of
laborers in garden and field. The millowners plenty
of hands, who would work instead of striking. There
is no labor so skilled, both indoors and outdoors, so
teachable, as that of these Eastern nations, and yet we
willingly deprive ourselves of it, yielding to the out-
cry of our ignorant European laborers, who are jeal- -
ous of its admission to the United States because it
would cut down the extortion of their own wages.
No one but a person capable of writing
such frothy, senseless flapdoodle as that
would have the nerve to style himself "A
Friend of All Classes." Comment upon the
stuff itself would be superfluous; but it is sig-
nificant that the New York Times editorial
policy seems to invite such pro-Mongolian and
anti-Caucasian effusions from its admiring
readers. There is a good deal of truth, after
all, in Cervantes' philosophy that "a man
(and a newspaper) may be known by the
company he keeps."
Work I'm- the Initiative and Referendum
principle of Legislation !
President Roosevelt's latest "Executive
order," that any employe in the public de-
partments at Washington may be instantly
dismissed for "misconduct or inefficiency,"
without a hearing or the right of appeal,
comes with exceedingly bad grace from the
chief exponent and apostle of the doctrine of
the "Square Deal." This order practically
makes the head of every public department a
little Caesar, and if the people permit this
sort of thing to go on unchecked the time will
inevitably come when there will be a Caesar
instead of a public servant in the White
House. The President already has more Execu-
tive power than many of Europe's crowned
heads, and the snobs among us think Hint lie
should be invested with still more. His latest
"Executive order" will tend to make more
snobs, for how can a man retain his independ
ence of character when his official head is at
the mercy of an individual executioner?
Jefferson would turn in his grave if he
could hear some of the "Democrats" who are
to-day quoting him in justification of their
' 'democracy. ' '

The Kosmos steamer Neko, arriving at San Fran-
cisco on October 26 from the South, brought the report
that the German ship Steinbeck had been appropriated
by the Chileans. It was reported in dispatches some
weeks ago that the Steinbeck had gone ashore at Val-
paraiso. It now appears that the master and crew
abandoned the vessel when she seemed to be beyond
saving and after standing by in small boats for forty-
eight hours they went ashore. A party of Chileans,
more alert than the Germans, went out to the vessel
and took possession. Subsequently, when the Stein-
beck semed to be safe, the Germans attempted to go
on board again.

DEAFNESS (ANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased
portion of the ear. There is only way to cure deaf-
ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf-
ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear-

sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condition, hear-

are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in-

Towing Big' DrydocK.
Officials of the Navy Department have
about determined in a general way how the
great floating drydock now at Solomon's
Island, Md., shall be taken to the Phillippines.
A collier of about 6000 tons displacement
will do the bulk of the towing. There are
two reasons for this. One is that a collier
can, perhaps, stand more bad weather and be
less liable to mishap than a tug on a trip of
this length, but more important, she can carry
a great deal more coal. A tug will accom-
pany the collier.
When the drydock starts from Solomon's
Island, the collier will be from 2000 to 3000
feet in front of her, the two vessels being
connected by a tow line. The reason a line
of this length is needed is that in squally
weather there will be no danger of the dock
and the collier being smashed together. This
line for one-half of its length will be of wire
cable and for its other half manila hawser.
In this way both strength and elasticity will
be secured. In addition, there will be a tow-
ing machine on board the collier.
Ordinarily, the dock will be taken along
with its body six to ten feet in the water.
This will naturally allow of greater speed;
but should bad weather come on it can also
be submerged so that it will draw 28 feet or
more of water, and will act as a huge anchor
to the collier and tug until the storm is over.
The department people see no reason why
the dock should not reach the Far East in
safety. The distance to be traveled is 15,000
miles, and it is calculated that, as not more
than 100 miles a day can be made, it will take
five months to cover the distance.
Germany's Sailor Machine.
The British Vice-Consul at Bremerhaven
has reported to his Foreign Office on "Ger-
man Sea Fishing." He says that the German
Government spends £20,000 a year for the
benefit and encouragement of sea fishing, and
contributes about £3,000 a year toward the
expenses of the German Sea Fishery Associa-
tion. Owners of sailing smacks for the her-
ring fishery receive a building subvention of
£200 to £250, besides a further sum for the
purchase of nets and gear. There is also a
fund from which owners of steam trawlers
are recompensed for damage to and loss of
nets. Five thousand pounds is the amount
to be contributed by the German Government
for losses in this respect sustained during
1904.
The effect of this policy is that while in
1900 the German fishing consisted of 564 ves-
sels and 3795 men, in 1904 there were 623
vessels and 5039 men. The additions to the
fleet this year are likely to equal those of the
last four years. It is interesting to note that
the motor fishing boat is being adopted by
Germans for their fishing fleets.
The following paragraph reveals the cause
of Germany's generosity:
"The encouragement given by the Govern-
ment to the fishing industry is considered to
be partly due to a recognition of the prospect-
ive value of the material available for the
manning of the navy."- N. Y. Times.

SEAMEN'S CASE PROVED.
The statement of facts in the ••.jurisdic-
tion" dispute between Seamen ami Long-
shoremen, printed in this issue, is intended
chiefly for the information of the delegates
to the Pittsburg convention of the American
Federation of Labor. The Seamen submit
their statement of the case, with full confi-
dence that, it will receive the consideration to
which by its importance it is clearly entitled.
The principle involved in the dispute in ques-
tion concerns many other organizations affili-
ated with the American Federation of Labor;
indeed, it may literally be said to concern the
very existence of the Federation itself. It
follows that delegates who may feel no per-
sonal or immediate interest in the particular
case at issue can not but recognize the re-
sponsibility of determining for themselves
the real merits of the case, in order that their
final judgment may redound to the protec-
tion and advancement of the whole labor
movement. The task confronting the dele-
gates may seem a laborious and unpleasant
one, but when approached in the proper
spirit its difficulties disappear before the light
of obvious and inescapable truth. But, what-
ever the difficulties and whatever the un-
pleasantness— whatever personal predilections
or prejudices may stand in the way — the facts
must be recognized and fully considered in
order that justice may be done in the par-
ticular case in question and also in the much
more important case of the labor movement
at large. Whatever justification may have
existed for the policy heretofore pursued by
the American Federation of Labor in the
treatment of the "jurisdiction" question gen-
erally, it lias become abundantly evident that
nothing further may be hoped from a con-
tinuance of that policy. Certainly, it is quite
clear that nothing less than a clear-cut deci-
sion will suffice in the case of the Seamen and
Longshoremen.
The Seamen submit their case with complete
confidence in the result, a confidence which,
of course, is based upon the assumed intelli-
gence and loyalty of the membership com-
posing the American Federation of Labor and
of the delegates composing the convention of
that body. The Seamen regard the facts cited
from the official records of the Longshore-
men as evidence of itself sufficient to condemn
the latter. The truth of these facts can not
be questioned without questioning the official
records, nor their meaning obscured without
closing the eye to the first principles of the
labor movement, as represented by the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor. Of course, a strong
attempt will be made to obscure the real issue.
as the only hope of confusing the minds of
the delegates. The Longshoremen, having
been driven by the incidents of the recenl
past from their previous position of indiffer-
ence to and contempt for the appeals of the
Seamen, will raise a false issue by charging
the latter with an attempt to disrupt the
Longshoremen's locals on the Pacific Coast.
In other words, the Longshoremen will en-
deavor to magnify the effect so as to hide the
cause. The Seamen are prepared to justify
every step taken by them in self-defense: at
the same time, they are determined that that
phase of the question shall not be permitted
to occupy the sole attention of the conven-
tion. Either the cause created by the Long-
shoremen must justify itself, or the effects
brought about by the Seamen will justify
themselves. It is up to the Longshoremen to
justify the cause of the dispute, or stand
condemned by the labor movement as disloyal
to the principles of that institution. In pay-
ing its respects to the Pittsburg convention
of the American Federation of Labor, the
Journal expresses the hope, and conviction,
that the result of its deliberations on the "ju-
risdiction" and other questions coming before
it will strengthen the bonds that unite the
trade-unions of the country in a fellowship
based upon mutual respect for right, upon
which alone the trade-unions and the Federa-
tion itself can hope to exist and flourish.
PROFITS IX TOW-BARGES.
The Scientific American, of recent date,
contains an article under the title, "Evolu-
tion of the Tow-Barge," written by John R.
Spears. The article pronounces the tow-
barge a profitable system of transportation,
and prophesies the extension of that system.
Mr. Spears, reviewing the growth of the tow-
barge, from its beginning in New York har-
bor and its extension, first to the Erie Canal,
then to the Great. Lakes and finally to the
Atlantic Coast, speaks of the latter phase, as
follows:
Schooners had had a monopoly of the coastwise coaJ
trade, but a tug and barges could deliver the cargo
much more promptly. They were found inure econom-
ical, especially for small cargoes. Thus, where a
schooner would require a crew of six »r eight men I
tow-barge of equal capacity required but three or four.
Some good-sized barges got on with two men, and they
were men who received relatively small pay. The tug
had a high-priced crew, but it took a dozen barges in
tow and left them at the different ports alongshore,
and while they were discharging cargo it came back
for more, bringing along the empty barges towed out
en the previous voyage.
Thus we note that the tow-barge was found
"more economical" than the schooner solely
on account of the smaller number of men re-
quired to man the former and the "relatively
small pay" received by them. The tow-barge
having proved profitable on the coasts, the
system was extended to the ocean-going trade.
The first venture in that trade is described by
the writer in the Scientific American, as
follows :
The tow steamer Atlas and a barge of 6,000 tons
capacity, known simply as "No. 93," were sent | from
New York] on the trip, Kt.OOO miles long, and on
1'ebruary 26 of the present year they arrived safely
in San Francisco. The log of the trip shows that the
cargo was carried more cheaply than it could have
been carried by a regular steamer.
Cheapness having scored another victory,
the insurance people ceased to regard the
ingoing tow-barge as an "extra-hazard-
ous" risk, and the business was extended to
the transatlantic trade. "Figures made in ad-
vance," says Mr. Spears, "had shown a profit
for the barge, and on July 3 the first barge-
traffic voyage across the Atlantic was begun."
The results of the venture are thus recorded:
Although the towing steamer carried a cargo and
towed another astern of her she attained the speed oi
an ordinary cargo steamer and her consumption of
real was by no means equal to that of two steamers
carrying as much cargo as she and her Consort ear
rod together. There was no loss of time in the pas
sage and there was an economy of coal in thus carry-
ing two cargoes across the ocean. At the same time
the cost of the crew of the barge was far less than
that of a steamer of equal capacity.
Our authority concludes his observations
i n the subject, as follows:
While a single successful voyage does not establish
n regular trade necessarily, it goes a long way toward
doing so in a case like this. For it is to be noted
that now and for a year past ocean traffic has been
greatly depressed. Many ships have failed to make
running expenses. Whon a system of transportation
proves profitable under such conditions there is no
doubt about its merits.
And to show further the confidence that towboal
men have in their system, a news item from Germany
may be quoted. A German company has been dis-
tributing coal around the Baltic, for some years, by
means of barges. While the E. L. Drake and consort
mrc crossing the Atlantic this German company took
a contract to load five towing steamers and nine
bargee with railway material that is to be delivered in
the Yenisei River, Siberia; and that is to say that
these tow-barge voyages are to be made through the
Arctic Ocean along the whole north coast of Europe
and for twenty degrees of longitude along the north
coast of Asia. If to this statement be added the fur-
ther fact that Pacific Coast lumbermen are preparing
to tow a huge raft of timber from Seattle to Shang-
hai it will be seen that the tug and the tow-barge are
likely to become most important factors in the freight
traffic of the high seas.
Mr. Spears knows a good deal about the
human side of shipping affairs. In justice to
his own reputation in this regard Mr. Spears
should now make public his views on the
human side of the tow-barge business. We
feel confident that an article such as is here
suggested would put a decidedly different as-
pect upon the whole matter. While the tow-
barge is undoubtedly profitable to the owner
and shipper, it is a standing menace to the
safety of all other forms of floating property,
as well as to the lives of its own crew and the
crews and passengers on other craft. The
records speak for themselves, which accounts
in part, we suppose, for the fact that Mr.
Spears hasn't mentioned them. As that gen-
tleman very truly says, "a single successful
voyage does not establish a regular trade nec-
essarily." Quite the contrary, a number of
successful voyages can not establish the tow-
barge business, when contrasted with its fre-
quent disasters and constant danger. The
tow-barge and log-raft may score a profit in
dollars and cents, but that consideration can
not be permitted to outweigh the danger, and
in fact reality, of loss, both of life and prop-
erty, in other directions. Mr. Spears to the
contrary notwithstanding, we predict that the
days of the tow-barge and log-raft are num-
bered by the days of an early session of Con-
gress.
Come to think of it, Mr. Post's "Report to
the People" indicates that that individual has
formed a rather exalted estimate of his con-
stituency. To be sure, Mr. Post pays adver-
tising rates on his screeds; consequently, the
"Report" is entitled to as much consideration
by "the People" as any other ad — no more,
no less.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
CHINESE MUST NOT COME.
The November issue of the American Ped-
erationist, official publication of the American
Federation of Labor, contains a vigorously-
worded article on the subject of Chinese Ex-
clusion, which we here reproduce. Our con-
temporary is to be congratulated upon its at-
titude on this all-important question, a ques-
tion that becomes more important as events
disclose the determination of certain interests
to "modify" (i. e., nullify) the existing laws
on the subject. The Federationist article is
as follows:
There seems to be a well-defined policy of
interested parties to induce Congress, at its
forthcoming session, to let down the bars to
the hordes of Chinese coolie laborers so that
they may come into the United States and its
possessions. Some ministers of the Gospel
also are consciously or unconsciously giving
their services to this venal project. If con-
sciously, they appear to be more concerned in
the welfare of the Chinese than of the Ameri-
can people. If unconsciously, they should
study the facts and the history of Chinese im-
migration into the United States and other
countries.
Of course, there is reason for complaint
against the indiscriminate immigration of
peoples from other countries, and all realize
that some better regulation and restriction are
essential in regard to this, but such classes of
immigration can not be considered, on parallel
lines when discussing the immigration of
Chinese laborers.
The Chinese are unassimilable. Their civ-
ilization is entirely at variance with that of
the American people. The Chinese and the
Caucasians can not live, prosper and progress
side by side in the same country. The whole
history of Chinese immigration to any coun-
try on the face of the globe in appreciable
numbers has demonstrated this time and time
again. They have dominated Avherever they
have entered, unless they have been driven
out by the force of arms or excluded before
their numbers were permitted to attain an
overwhelming influence. Their domination is
not because of higher attainments, but be-
cause of their subtlety, their lack of wants, in-
terests, or desires; because they are cheap la-
borers and cheap merchants, and thus indus-
trially and commercially freeze out their com-
petitors, the American workmen, and even the
American business men. This has been dem-
onstrated on the Pacific Coast and in the
Sandwich Islands, as well as in the Philip-
pines.
American workingmen realize the great
danger, not only to them and their interests,
but to all the people of our country. Business
men, students and, observers are in entire ac-
cord upon this question of the necessity of ex-
cluding Chinese laborers from coming to the
United States.
Workmen are second to none in their re-
gard for their fellow men, without considera-
tion from whence they hail; but they would
be less than human did they disregard the
lessons of the past and the dangers which
would threaten not only their standard of
life, but every hope for the safety of them-
selves in the present and those who will come
after them.
The economic, social, religious and political
life of our entire people is at stake in this
question, and they will not tamely submit to
a false sentimentality to please the few sordid
profit-mongers who, for a slight monetary
gain, would endanger the future of our Re-
public. Aye, they will not submit even to the
possibility of this backward movement though
it ruffles the sentimentality and vanity of a
few ministers of the Gospel who, by the way,
might better devote their talents and energies
to the effort for the uplift of the workers of
our own country.
The so-called Chinese boycott of American
products, the activity of the sugar planters of
Hawaii, who have again evinced their love for
the Chinese, the subtle tactics pursued, in cer-
tain quarters by employers antagonistic to or-
ganized labor, the effusions of some preachers
— all bear the stamp of a carefully concocted
plan to "modify," with the hope of ultimate-
ly nullifying, the entire policy of the Ameri-
can people to keep the Chinese from coming
to any place where our flag flies.
The American workmen, the American
people, must be equally, if not more, alert
than those who would, either for the greed of
gain or a false sentimentality, undermine our
civilization.
The bars must not, and will not, be let down
for the Chinese.
CHILD LABOR AND THE SCHOOLS.
Labor Commissioner Stafford, of Califor-
nia, has favored the Journal with a brief
summary of his observations concerning the
effect of the Child-Labor law upon the health
and attendance of children at the beginning
of the present school term. As will be noted,
the enforcement of the new law has been
highly beneficial in the important respect of
its effect upon the capacity of the children
for study. Labor Commissioner Stafford's
findings are as follows :
The Garfield Primary School, located on Union
street, near Montgomery, thia city, has a membership
of 744 pupils. I have the assurance of the principal,
Miss Shearer, that in previous yeara at the close of
the summer vacation, more than fifty children, rang-
ing from six years of age upward, would return to
school from the canneries with their hands in a badly
crippled condition, lacerated by fruit cans and paring
knives, and aggravated by the acids in the fruits.
This term there has bren nothing of that kind in evi-
dence.
The Lafayette Primary School, located at the junc-
tion of Kearny and Filbert streets, on Telegraph Hill,
has 681 pupils, 164 of whom are new from commence-
ment of present term. Ninety per cent, of the pupils
in this school are Italians. The large increase is at-
tributed by Miss K. P. Casey, the principal, to the
enforcement of the Child-Labor law and the Compul-
sory Education law. In previous years a large per-
centage of her scholars have been tardy in returning
to school after summer vacation, drifting in from the
canneries, and were so insubordinate as a consequence
of the fighting and quarreling for cans and fruit
boxes, that the first two months each year was a strug-
gle for discipline, with continued punishment and but
little school progress. This year there has been per-
fect harmony from the first week. In previous years
children from six to seven years up have sat for weeks
unable to write, on account of the crippled condition
of their hands, as at the Garfield School.
The Washington Grammar School, situated at the
corner of Mason and Washington streets, has 673
pupils, an increase of eighty-one this term. Principal
T. H. McCarthy says this is almost entirely due to the
enforcement of the Child-Labor and the Compulsory
Education laws. This term they have a number of
children ranging from 8 to 12 years of age that had
never previously seen the inside of a school-room.
This year the class membership was full immediately
after the opening following the holidays, while in
previous years this dragged from one to two months.
The attendance of the entire school for the past two
months has averaged ninety-seven per cent., as against
ninety per cent, during several years previous to the
passage of these laws.
There has been no increase in the application for
school books to be supplied from the Indigent Fund
on account of the poverty of parents, from which we
are .justified in inferring that the removal of small
children from canneries has not caused poverty or
hardship in their families.

The LaKe Storm.
Probably the w< rst storm in the history of
Lake navigation struck the lower lake region
on the night of October 19, although it had
been blowing on Lake Superior for nearly
forty-eight hours before that time. It is im-
possible to give a correct list of fatalities at
this writing, although at present forty ves-
sels are reported lost and missing, and twenty
Lives are supposed to have been the toll col-
lected by the Storm King.
The old steamer Sarah E. Sheldon was lest
off Lorain, Ohio, and Wheelsmen John Fox
and Charles Johnson lost their lives in a
fruitless attempt to reach the shore. The
Gilchrist barge Yukon, Captain Bangs, found-
ered off Ashtabula. Her entire crew were
rescued by Captain Tim Haggerty and his
crew, of the tug Thomas Wilson. The Cor-
rigan barge Tasmania, in tow of the steamer
Bulgaria, was lost near Bar Point, and her en-
tire crew went down with her. The Gilchrist
steamer Siberia lies in eighteen feet of water
at Long Point, waterlogged, her pumps hav-
ing failed to work at a critical moment. The
steamer Vega, of the same fleet, is reported
lost. The schooner John V. Jones, of Ken-
osha. Wis., C. W. Allen, owner, was lost in
Lake Michigan, and William Thompson and
E. Olfsen, seamen, were drowned. The re-
mainder of the crew were rescued by the ear-
ferry Grand Haven. The Siberia can be
pumped out and saved. Her cargo of barley
is probably a total loss. The Canadian
schooner Minnedosa foundered in Lake
Huron, taking seven souls with her, including
the captain's wife. The schooner J. S. Fay
lost her mate. The steamer Progress left Ash-
land recently, and has not been seen since.
She carried a crew of fifteen men. The
steamer Republic went ashore near Sheboy-
gan, and the barge Malta parted her towline
from the steamer William R. Linn, in Lake
Huron, but her crew worked her into Port
Huron under her own canvas. The passen-
ger- steamer Western States had a narrow es-
cape, but is safe. The schooner Alta went on
the rocks near Munising. Her crew of seven
men and one woman were rescued in an ex-
hausted condition. The steamer A. A. Turn-
er went ashore, then caught fire and burned.
Her crew were rescued by a tug, name un-
known. The schooner Alga is ashore at Pic-
ture Rocks, with her rudder gone. The crews
of the Alta and Olga were rescued by fisher-
men.
Notice to Seamen.
Henry Johnson, No. 9854, Edward Nichol-
son, No. 6783, and Charles Clarson, No. 1559,
are requested to communicate with Agent
Murphy, of the Lake Seamen's Union, at
Manitowoc.
The movement of iron ore in September fell
short of that of August, but this was expected,
for the month always brings storms. Duluth
shipped 1,197,888 tons; Two Harbors 1,015,-
955 tons; Superior 698,752 tons, a total of 2,-
912,595. The total of the season to date is
16,810,632 tons for the three ports, against
8,719,540 tons during the same period last
year.
Sober Seamen.
If the time is nut already here, it soon will be, when
the saying, ' ' Drunk as a sailor, ' ' will be meaning-
less.
With the passing of the sailing ships, the old-time
sailors are disappearing. An entirely different class
of men has come in with the modern steamship. The
mariners of to-day are not sent aloft in a howling gale
to furl topsails — they work with electrical and steam
machinery. There is not so much now to breed the
devil-may-care spirit of the traditional Jack tar.
Nowhere is the change more apparent than in the
American Navy. It has been the time-honored custom
of the bluejacket to get drunk immediately upon go-
ing ashore and to stay drunk until haled back to his
ship, perhaps by a guard of marines. Now, the men
of the Navy who become drunk are the exception. Of
the 750 enlisted men on the Maine, the flagship of the
North Atlantic squadron, 700 have not one bad con-
duct mark against them. In the paymaster's safe on
boaru the Maine there is more than $3.1, 000 in pay and
allowances due to and uncalled for by the men of the
squadron. This is proof that the grade of intelligence
in the Navy has been greatly raised in a few years.
What is true of the Navy is true, though to a less ex-
tent, in the merchant marine. — Cleveland Leader.
The foregoing is unique, inasmuch as it has
at least a few good words . for the seaman.
The fact that it appears in the editorial col-
umn makes it all the more remarkable. But
it docs not go far enough, and is really a com-
pliment for the men of the Navy only. Cer-
tainly it is equally true of the seamen of the
Great Lakes, and there has not been fifty per
cent of the drinking done this year by seamen
on the Lakes that was done last season. The
proof is that while the Postoffice Money Order
business at Conneaut Harbor alone has in-
creased a hundredfold this year, the saloon
business at that port has been a black failure.
Of all the saloon-keepers at the Harbor (there
were thirty -two of them), only two have been
able this year to employ a bartender. One
failed, and none are making money. So that
does not show the merchant marine in such a
bad light, and I venture to predict a greater
falling off in the saloon business next season,
and consequently fewer saloons in our little
port. W. H. J.
Conneaut, O.
The car-ferry Grand Haven, owned by the
Grand Trunk car-ferry line, a Milwaukee cor-
poration which has been operating the boat
between Milwaukee, Wis., and Grand Haven,
Mich., in connection with the Grand Trunk
railway system, will be sold to the highest
bidder on November 7. The boat was built
two and a half years ago and cost $350,000.
She is now in the custody of the Fidelity
Trust Company, of Milwaukee, as the result
of default by the ferry company in the pay-
menl of the principal of seventeen bonds of
$1,000 each.
The steel tug Frank Perry, sailed by Cap-
tain Ryerse and owned by Frank Perry of
Sault Ste. Marie, sunk off Boot Island, in the
Cheneux group, in the storm of October 19.
Several plates were crushed in by the rocks,
and the boat now lies in a dangerous position.
The tug had a raft of pulpwood in tow and
this was broken up and scattered along the
shores of the surrounding islands. A fifty-
mile gale accompanied by snow squalls was
blowing.
The Matthews Steamship Co., limited, has
been incorporated with a capital of $250,000
to build steamships and to carry on a trans-
portation business. The provisional directors
are all Torontonians.
New Steamer Contract.
The first contract for a new steamer to be
added to the Chicago passenger fleet next sea-
son has been awarded to the Craig Shipbuild-
ing Company of Toledo, by the Indiana Trans-
portation Company, operating the line be-
tween Chicago and Michigan City. The new
boat will be an important addition to the Chi-
cago fleet, being exceeded in size only by the
Christopher Columbus. The cost will be up-
ward of $300,000.
Although no expense will be spared in add-
ing to the safety and style of the steamer,
the chief point accented in the contract is that
of dispatch. To this end a speed of twenty-
four miles an hour has been specified, in order
to insure a running time of two hours between
Chicago and the Indiana town, from dock to
dock. The boat is to be delivered ready for
service. May 15 next.
As the run of the new steamer is short, but
thirty staterooms are to be provided, insuring
plenty of light and air in the cabins and ad-
ditional comfort for passengers. The boat
will be 285 feet long by 40 feet wide and is
designed to accommodate 3,500 passengers.
Old WrecK Found.
The wreck of a schooner was discovered in
Lake Michigan on October 10, two and one-
half miles from New Buffalo, and the belief
is that it is the remains of the Thomas Hume,
which went down four years ago carrying a
crew of seven men. A fisherman got his lines
caught in the wreckage and George Culbert,
expert diver, went down and found the hulk.
It is 175 feet long, but the scroll work was
gone and he could find nothing to indicate the
name of the boat.
The Thomas Hume and her sister ship, the
Rock Simmons, left Chicago together one
stormy night in 1891, and the Rock Simmons
was the only one which reached Muskegon,
the Thomas Hume never being heard from.
She was owned by the lumber firm of Hackley
& Hume, of Muskegon.
Colonel G. J. Lydeeker, in charge of river
and harbor and lighthouse work in the De-
troit District, has received a letter from the
superintendent of the Harbor of Refuge at
Harbor Beach, Lake Huron, from which the
following extract is taken : "I would say that
I am advised by many Lake masters that it
has been generally understood among them
that owing to the work on the piers in prog-
ress at present it is unsafe for vessels to
make the harbor during heavy weather from
the supposed fact that the harbor is blocked
most of the time with the contractors' outfit.
This is not the case, and I would recommend
that the broadest information possible be given
out that the harbor is at all times clear for
incoming craft and there is ample room for
all to make fast and lie in safety."
AVhile sheltered at St. Michaels Bay, Mani-
toulin Island, the barge Vesta, in tow of the
steamer Juno, caught fire and was burned to
the water's edge. The burned boat was own-
ed by W. J. Pulling, of Windsor, and was
valued at $3500.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Marine Notes.
Peter Cuba, nineteen years of age, a seaman
on the steamer Merrimac, had his right arm
cut off by an engine at Detroit recently.
The steamer Cumberland struck the pro-
tection pier of the East Water street bridge
at Milwaukee recently and broke off a section
thirty-six feet in length at the west end of the
pier.
Edward Morris, assistant general superin-
tendent of the Chicago Shipbuilding Com-
pany, has resigned. His place has not yet
been filled, but it is believed John Smith, now
foreman of the shipyard, will be appointed.
Business Agent Scanlon, of the Seamen's
Union, at Detroit, has a valuable letter for
Mrs. Venera Chilson. She is said to be stew-
ardess on a small steamer, and Mr. Scanlon
would like to know which boat she is aboard.
The newly organized Mathews Shipping
Company has called upon English shipyards
for tenders for two new Lake freighters full
Welland Canal size. The boats are to ply be-
tween Fort William and Montreal, and must
be ready by next spring.
Improvements to cost $500,000 around Buf-
falo harbor are being made by the Govern-
ment. Work on the foundation to the 1000-
foot arm to Stony Point breakwater has be-
gun, and a start has been made on the new
$100,000 breakwater north of the entrance to
Buffalo River.
The new steamer J. G. Butler, building at
the Lorain yard of the American Shipbuild-
ing Co. for Captain Charles L. Hutchinson
and others of Cleveland will probably be
launched on November 4, should weather con-
tinue favorable. The keel of this steamer was
laid on September 6.
The schooner Burton, which went on the
rocks at Barcelona during the recent great
storm, has gone to pieces. The schooner was a
total loss. The Burton was valued at $5500
and was not insured. The Burton had a
cargo of 950 tons of coal for Toledo from
Buffalo and was on her way to the former
port when she went ashore.
The schooner Elizabeth, lumber-laden,
dragged her anchors and was driven on the
shore north of Menominee recently, where she
was soon torn to pieces by the storm. The
crew escaped safely in a yawl boat. The
Elizabeth was bound from Cedar River to
Menominee with 60,000 feet of lumber. She
was owned by Captain Fred Hutchinson, of
Marinette.
The steamer Brazil is at the drydock in
South Chicago with a huge stone weighing
fully 1500 pounds held securely between the
plates in the center of the boat near the keel.
The stone was picked up when the steamer
struck near the Lime Kilns, in the Detroit
River. The big stone, after tearing away a
number of plates and cutting a big hole in
the side of the Brazil served as a plug to pre-
vent the boat from leaking.
With eight feet of water in her hold and
the water gaining every minute despite the
work of the pumps, the steamer Gladstone
struggled into Milwaukee recently, just in
time to escape sinking. There was hardly
enough steam left to propel the ship, so much
of it was used in operating the pumps to keep
the vessel afloat. The leak was caused by the
buffeting of the gale on Lake Michigan, and
the crew were completely exhausted by their
efforts when the ship arrived at Milwaukee.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
The Government has been quite busy lately
inspecting and testing various new maritime
safety appliances, such as collapsible life-
boats, rafts and life-preservers, but nary a
seaman has been inspected or tested to see if
he is efficient, or if there are enough of
him to properly man the lifeboats and rafts.
To the superficial observer this procedure
would seem to be highly illogical, to call it
nothing worse. But, when we look a little
below the surface, we soon perceive that there
is a method in the madness of the authorities.
Ours is notoriously a government for the pro-
tection and promotion of money-making en-
terprises, and there is much money to be made
out of the manufacture of maritime life-sav-
ing appliances. But who, except a crimp,
ever heard of any money to be made out of
the manufacture or otherwise of seamen?
The inference from this is plain enough to
any one who understands the relations of a
trust with the Government. If seamen could
be turned out cheaply— say, in a toy factory,
there would soon be an incorporated trust in
the article, with an imposing-looking lobby in
Washington, getting laws on the statute bonks
compelling every blessed American vessel to
carry crews of standard grade — and enough
of them to patchelamile.
A good deal of sympathy and condolence
has lately been extended by various news-
papers to the Sewalls, of Bath, Me., on their
remarkable run of bad luck in having lost
so many vessels in such a comparatively short
time. To a sailorman conversant with the
history of the vessels of that firm, however, it
seems more like a case of the judgment of God
than one of bad luck. It is not necessary to
mention any names or to go into details, but
it is not exceeding the truth to say that the
Sewall ships, in the treatment of their crews,
have been among the worst of the many min-
iature hells afloat that have disgraced the
American flag, and made it hated by seamen
of all nations. That the owners of the fleet
winked at, and even sanctioned, the many out-
rages committed against the crews of their
ships is an inference fully warranted from
the manner in which they stood by their
bucko masters and mates when charged in the
courts with having maltreated or beaten to
death some poor sailor. Several of the worst
bucko mates that our merchant marine was
ever cursed with were steady employes of the
Sewalls during many years. The Sewalls
will get no sympathy from sailors on account
of the loss of their vessels.
The organized workingmen of New York
are carrying on a vigorous educational cam-
paign among the voters of the State on the
issue of the "Labor Amendment" to the State
Constitution, to be voted upon at the coining
election. This amendment, as has already
been noted in the Journal, is intended to con-
fer upon the Legislature power to fix the rate
of wages and hours of labor of all mechanics
and laborers employed by the State. Its im-
portance to workingmen in general, and
those of New York in particular, is therefore
great.
It is the "voice of the plain people" now.
It will be the "voice of the rabble" on the day
after election.
Fag Ends.
Eternal agitation is the price of progress.
Opportunity makes the grafter and proves
the honest man.
Prosperous crime and profligacy are the
^rave-diggers of a nation.
Be sure that he is neither good nor wise
who prates of Brotherhood, yet God denies.
When right, stanc pat; when wrong, con-
fess. None can do more; none- should do less.
Imagination is an eloquent pleader and n
stern arraigner, but a poor judge.
Few men fear to offend God as much as
they fear to offend the conventionalities of
mankind.
The head often saves the hand many a hard
task, and the hand often saves the head many
a hard knock.
No maxim, however wise, can be universally
true so long as no two men in the world are
alike in mind.
Patience and perseverance may not conquer
the world, but they will always deserve what-
ever measure of success thev can command.
Nowhere does the saying that "actions
speak louder than words" apply with more
force than in the realm of trade-unionism.
Beliefs are good, but works count more in
footing up life's final score. The Lord will
judge us by our deeds, not by our faith in
musty creeds.
Many a reformer has obtained a following
simply by his ability to mass a number of
errors and probabilities together in such a
manner as to present a plausible whole.
The basis of all morality, all religion, is the
eternal, immutable truth that there is a nat-
ural, necessary and inseparable connection
between happiness and virtue, and, miseiy and
vice.
It shakes our faith in human nature when
we are reminded, every now and then, by
some queer turn in human life's queer plan,
that wealth, not principles, proclaims the
man.
The poor but genteel and college-educated
trust editor who barks every time his vulgar
but wealthy master says, "Sic 'em, boy!" is
a living proof of the truth that "knowledge
is power!"
Good laws, faithfully administered, are the
chief essential of good government. The
Initiative and Referendum will enable us to
get as good laws as we want to have, and the
Recall will enable us to have them faithfully
administered.
"What man has done man may do;" and
if we are not willing to do as much to con-
serve our liberties as the founders of this Re-
public did to establish them, we deserve no
better fate than slavery under a self-imposed,
despotism.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
World's WorKers.
The street-ear lines of Moscow, Russia,
resumed operations on October 16, and
the workmen of many factories which
had been closed by the strike returned to
work.
Forty thousand New Zealand workers
have petitioned the Government to im-
pose a 40 per cent, duty on Americas
Harvester Company machinery of kinds
made in New Zealand. The farmers, on
the other hand, oppose the project.
The workmen in the Nevsky works, on
the Schlussenbnrg road, St. Petersburg,
diBsatisfied with the exclusion of the
workmen from the Douma. struck on Oc-
tober 17, and forced the men in the Pahl
cotton mill and other concerns to join
them.
The town of Toulon, France, was re
cently thrown into total darkness owing
to a strike of the gas-workers. The gas-
ometers were guarded by soldiers, and
the authorities telegraphed to Lyons and
Marseilles for workmen to replace the
strikers.
The general strike at Moscow, Russia,
became effective on October 27. All the
stores, banks and other business institu-
tions are closed, and the communal ac-
tivity of Moscow is at a standstill.
Great meetings are being held in several
quarters of the city.
Answering a question in the New
South Wales Assembly, the Premier
slated that the wages staff on the rail-
ways had always been paid fortnightly,
and he would refer the matter of similar
payment of salaried employes to the
Railway Commissioners.
A large meeting of workers at Christ -
church, New Zealand, recently decided to
"declare war" against the Harvester
Trust, of America. Parliament is to be
petitioned to check the importation of
the Trust's machines, as equally good
ones are locally manufactured, but are
handicapped in the way of duty on raw
materials, also excessive coastal freights.
The last link of the railroads binding
St. Petersburg with the outer world was
Woken on October 27, when the Finland
Railroad suspended service between St.
Petersburg aud the Finnish border.
Telegraphic communication is still open,
but there is a possibility that the cable
operators may be compelled to join a
general strike of telegraphers. Up to the
nt there is a total absence of dis-
order.
In an encounter between the police
and striking printers at the Government
Bureau of Printing and Engraving, at
St. Petersburg on October 17, forty per-
sons were injured, but none seriously.
The printers' strike is very thorough, re-
sulting in the suspension of every news-
r except the Sviet and Official Mes-
senger. The latter was unable to print
the text of the peace treaty, although it
was published in the interior.
In the New South Wales Assembly re-
cently the Premier was asked if he would
introduce a provision into the Amending
Old Age Pensions Act, providing that
drovers, shearers, and all others except
seamen, who were at present provided
for, of 25 years' residence in the State,
should be eligible for a pension, even if
they were absent from the State for an
aggregate of two years during that
period. The Premier promised to give
the request every consideration.
The Sydney (New South Wales) Eight-
hour Demonstration, held on October 2,
was the Jubilee — the first demonstration
having taken place in 1855. The com-
mitee decided to mark the occasion by
reverting to the old-time custom of hold-
ing the official dinner at night in the
Trades Hall, instead of on the sports
ground. This obviated the necessity of
limiting the time for speeches, and the
work of the officials on the sports ground
was not interfered with by the usual hur-
linner.

The increase of women employed in
clerical work in New York City during
the last five years has been phenomenal.
The United States census of 1900 gives
only 30,622 office women to the whole
of that city. Upon the basis of recent
investigation, an estimate of 60,000
women now employed in office work
throughout New York City is probably
OOt excessive.

THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.
Future of the Nation Involved.
Mahings of a Modern Babel.
CONSIDERED in its broadest bearings, the Im-
migration problem involves the whole future of
the United States. The disposition of that
problem will determine the most vital characteristic
of the American people for a long time, probably for
all time. Whether the racial elements of our popula-
tion-shall combine to form a homogeneous people, or
separate to create a heterogeneous Babel — these are the
questions that lie at the basis of the Immigration prob-
lem, the answer to which may with certainty be found
in the treatment of the latter. With the answer to
these questions will go the assurance of the Nation 'a
destiny, as a nation strong in its people, free in its
government, peaceful in its pursuits and invincible to
attack from within or without by virtue of a uniform
public sentiment based upon love of liberty and devo-
tion to its true ideals, or, on the other hand, as a
nation weak in the racial dissensions of its people and
a constant prey to all the enemies of free government.
It may be said that these questions are already
answered, that the existence of the Nation to-day, its
survival of the most trying ordeals and its present
state of peace and prosperity, constitute ample assur-
ance of the perpetuity of our institutions. Such, at
any rate, is the view most commonly expressed upon
patriotic occasions. Fourth of July orators confidently
proclaim the indestructibility of the Nation, upon the
sole grounds that the principles upon which it is es-
tablished are good, and that these have stood the test
of practice for one hundred and thirty years. The
optimism of the public speaker doubtless serves the
purpose of its utterance, in memories renewed and in-
spiration conveyed, a purpose in itself very commend-
able and very necessary. But the better optimism, the
more practical patriotism, is that which honestly
searches and frankly discloses the difficulties and dan-
gers of the present and judges the future by the
shadows which these cast upon its path.
Consider, for a moment, the purport of the state-
ment that the present term of our National life is of
itself a guarantee of enduring existence. What does
a period of one hundred and thirty years signify in the
history of nations? First, let us consider what that
period means in the history of our own Nation. A few-
weeks ago a press dispatch announced the one hundred
and second birthday anniversary of a man, born at
Raleigh, N. C, in 180.S, and still living in Missouri.
This patriarchal American rejoices not only in the
plenitude of his years, but also in the fact that he "has
personally met every President of the United States,
with the exception of Washington and Roosevelt."
Here is a man almost as old as the Nation, and here is
a nation whose years but slightly exceed the span of a
single human life! Viewed in the light of this inci-
dent, the period of our National existence becomes in-
significant. Compared to the lives of those nations
which have left their imprint upon history, our own is
a mere infantile promise or possibility of endurance.
Washington Irving, writing of the Alhambra, as it
existed in the early part of the nineteenth century, re-
marked that notwithstanding the extensive civilization
established and maintained by the Moors in Granada,
during the eight hundred years of their dominion in
that country, from the victory of Tarik over Roderick,
"the last of the Goths," to the surrender of Boabdil,
"the last of the Moors," not a trace of that civiliza-
tion remained at the time of our author 's visit. The
Alhambra itself — "those palaces and piles stupendous,
of which the very ruins are tremendous" — symbolizes
at once the greatness and the evanescence of its epoch.
The conquest of Granada by Ferdinand and Isabella
and the discovery of America by Columbus took place
in the same year, 1492. If we were disposed to claim
for our country a National existence dating from the
latter event, we should still have but half the period
of the Moorish dominion upon which to estimate the
enduring ,powers of our own civilization. Take the
entire period from the date of the Norman Conquest,
in 1066, to the present time (a period that embraces
tin- whole existence of the so-called Anglo-Saxon civili-
zation), and we have but a bare margin in our favor,
as compared with the period of which Irving writes.
Take any similar period in history, and one may dis-
cern the almost forgotten story of the rise and fall of
peoples who in their day were just as proud, just as
confident and just as deserving as are the people of
the United States to-day. The optimism of the Fourth
of July rs the optimism of the ostrich; it ignores his-
tory, in the hope that history will ignore it. The con-
fident assertions and pleasing beguilements of the
patriotic orator are so much mist before the eye when
tested by the facts of history.
A reasonable forecast of the future must lie based
upon other criteria than those afforded by age or
physical conditions. Age, of itself, presaged dissolu-
tion, while the physical creations of our own day and
country are proverbially the most fragile works of
man. Despite the care bestowed upon it, the Declara-
tion of Independence has become absolutely unde-
cipherable, while the graven records of the ancient
world remain clear to the eye of the antiquarian and
scholar. The architectural triumphs of our own time,
in themselves but feeble imitations of the world's mas-
terpieces, can not outlast, even in their decay, the ma
jestic ruins of their originals. The Nation, having
been born in the hearts and minds of the men who
founded and fought for it, can survive only in the
hearts and minds and by the valor of those who suc-
cessively inherit it. The past gives no hostage to the
present; it ran only offer a lesson. Tin pre enl can-
not secure the future, except to the extent Hint it
learns and applies the lesson of the past. I'uless thai
lesson be learned and applied by tin- present genera-
tion, the life of the Nation may cense with our own,
and the historian of these limes may note the fact
that, brief as was tin- life of the North Lmerican
Republic, the forms of liberty hail lone survived its
substance in that once promising and "indestructible"
adventure in government.
The true criterion, therefore, of the future consists
in the people themselves, specifically in the people's
capacity for self-government. If the Nation shall tu
vive to perpetuate the principles of free society, the
fact will be due, not to veneration for the age of these
principles nor for the character of the men who lirsl
expounded and practiced them, but to the instincts of
freedom that inspire and actuate the | pie of the
future. At this point we note the changing com-
plexion of our present population, resulting from
the large and constantly increasing infusion of
new blood from new countries. It has been very
generally asserted, and as generally accepted, that
the establishment and earlier growth of free in-
stitutions in the United States resulted naturally and
inevitably from the fusion of racial elements, all of
which were inspired by the same ideal, and each of
which served to restrain the others from the tendency
toward license or intolerance. Again, the mixed char-
acter of the inhabitants served to free them from the
danger of moral and intellectual dependence upon any
one nation of the Old World, which otherwise would
have, taken place, even after the dissolution of political
connection. The Puritans in New England and the
Cavaliers in the South, the Dutch in New York and the
Huguenots in South Carolina, representing the oppo-
sites of spiritual and temporal life and opinion, acted
and reacted one upon another, thus forming a sym-
metrical whole and giving to the world a nation pos-
sessed of conservatism without bigotry and liberty
without license. The work perfor d by the early
builders has served its purpose as the foundation of
the Republic. The task of the present generation is
that of conserving the form of the superstructure so
(hat it shall conform in each detail to the basis upon
\\ Inch it rests.
A study of the character of present Immigration to
the United States discloses an essential difference be-
tween it anil that of the earlier periods in our history.
Whereas the immigrant of twenty five years ago or
more was attracted hither by considerations of con-
science, the immigrant of today is inspired l>\ no
higher desire than that id' changing masters. An ele
ment thus wedded to servitude can not be expected to
concern itself with the cause of freedom, lint, on the
contrary, may be regarded us so much material read]
to the hand for the purpose of overriding and destroy
ing the public liberties. The extent to which immigra-
tion litis increased during recent years, reaching the
present total of 1,000,000 annually, constitutes a dan-
ger which, upon economic grounds alone, demands
prompt and effective act i. m. Notwithstanding the
urgency id' the latter phase of the question, a still
graver menace lies in the character, or quality, of the
present immigration. As a problem of quantity, the
danger of the situation is at one,, apparent; ns a
problem of quality the danger is the greater, because
less immediately obvious. Regarded in Hie latter as-
pect, the present tendency, and in fad development,
of immigration menaces not only the economic wel-
fare of the people, lull endangers our most funda-
mental public insl itut
Of course, il need hardly be suggested that in this
estimate of the Immigration problem, the Asiatic
phase of that problem occupies first place among the
demands for action. Whatever steps may lie regarded
as sufficient to deal with the exigencies of European
immigration, nothing less than Exclusion, absolute and
irrevocable, will suffice to guard against the dai

No Property in Labor.
We have had reason to comment upon a
good many "labor" decisions of our courts.
Some of these have been refreshingly sound
and enlightened. It was a pleasure to call
attention to the principles applied, the logic
us. (I. or the application of sound doctrines to
new situations made in the opinions handed
down in these cases. Other decisions we have
been constrained to criticise as due either to
bias and class feeling or to ignorance of the
thought and sentiment of the age of the needs
and interests of modern society.
But we have never been called upon to deal
with a judicial decision as preposterous, as
reactionary, as absurd and plutocratic as that
which forms the subject of the following re-
marks.
Cincinnati has a judge of the Superior
Court who owes his elevation to the bench to
the notorious "Boss Cox," and who was a
machine politician and legislator before he
was made interpreter of the law and repre-
sentative of justice.
This judge, Ilosea by name, recently had
to decide the case of an employer against the
Holders' Union of Cincinnati, the former's
grievance and complaint being — what?
Neither more nor less than this: That certain
strike-breakers who had worked for hi in had
been persuaded to leave his employment and
to join the Holders' Union, the union agree-
ing to pay the initiation fees for them !
Judge Ilosea decided that the grievance
was one of which the law took cognizance,
and that the Holders' Union had wrongfully,
maliciously and unlawfully injured the plain-
tin*, lie fined the union for the awful "tort"
it had committed. He justified his amazing
ruling by some pseudo reasoning, of which
we may give two sentences as a characteristic
specimen :
To seduce away plaintiff's employes for the purpose
df aiding the strike was directly to hinder and obstruct
:ind unlawfully to interfere with plaintiff's business.
So-called persuasion with this object in view is dearly
unlawful persuasion, and it is a farce to characterize
as "persuasion" the act of entiicng away men under
such circumstances by the payment of money with the
threat of the union in the background.
Consider the logic of the decision. Are not
the strike-breakers free men? Had they not
the right to leave the plaintiff's employ al
will? If so, had not the Holders' Union the
perfect right to persuade them to leave?
There was no exercise of force on the part of
the union, and no threat of force. Judge
Ilosea, it is true, says something about "the
threat of the union in the background"; but
this is vague, gratuitous, meaningless, and
from the bench highly improper, not to say
outrageous. There was no evidence before the
court, nor any other allegation, that force or
intimidation, or anything savoring of coer-
cion, had been resorted to by the union.
Why, then, was the persuasion unlawful ?
Because the union had offered to pay the ini-
tiation fees of the strike-breakers! That "se-
duced" the plaintiff's employes, "enticed"
them away to the injury of the plaintiff, and
such enticement is unlawful.
Now, if there be any sense or point in this,
it involves the doctrine or assumption that an
employer has a sort of property right in the
services of his "free" employes, and that he
who "entices" them away, persuades them to
leave by offering them benefits which they
have the option of refusing or accepting, is
guilty °f a "tort," for which damages may
be recovered.
The monstrous medieval character of such
an assumption is manifest.
NO MAN CAN HAVE A PROPERTY BIGHT IN THE
SERVICES OF A FUF.E WORKMAN.
Where there is a contract for services, dam-
ages may perhaps be recovered for the breach
or violation of it. But no grievance can pos-
sibly be admitted by modern jurisprudence to
exist against one who persuades another to do
that which he has a clear, undoubted, lawful
right to do in his dealings with a third person.
The decision of Boss Cox's judge is based
upon the idea of serfdom, not upon the princi-
ple of free labor and free contract. It is
based upon an idea which no court would
think of applying to cases in which unions or
workmen are the plaintiffs.
Employers have clamored for the absolute
right to discharge men at the advice and sug-
gestion of fellow-employers, and the courts
have never shown the least inclination to op-
pose that claim, but the prejudiced "class"
judges are seeking to revive antiquated and
revolting doctrines implying the subordina-
tion of "men to masters," and reintroducing
distinctions and inequalities that have no
place in modern industrial relations.
The Cincinnati case should be appealed, if
necessary, to the highest court of the State
and the Federal Government. We do not be-
lieve Boseaism will find favor in the eyes of
upright, independent and enlightened judges,
and in any event it will not prevent organized
labor from organizing the unorganized work-
ers and exerting every lawful right to prevent
the would-be strike-breaker from becoming a
traitor to his own interests and the interests
of his fellow-workman -his fellow-man. —

Legal Advice Agencies.
As a direct consequence of the complex
body of labor legislation enacted in Germany
during the last twenty-five years, and espe-
cially of the laws obliging the working classes
to be insured against sickness, accident, old
age and invalidity, cases are constantly aris-
ing in which workpeople find it necessary to
obtain legal advice. In supplying this want
the initiative has come from the working
classes themselves, and more especially from
the Social Democratic trade-unions, or
Gewerkschaften, which comprise the bulk of
organized labor in Germany. The agencies
established for this purpose have come to be
most generally known by the term "Work-
men's Secretariate" (Arbeitersekretariat).
The first workmen's Secretariate was estab-
lished by the Social Democratic trade-unions
in 1889, in Berlin. In 1904 there were no
fewer than 50 of these institutions in exist-
ence. ;ill owing their inception to that partic-
ular group of trade-unions. Reports from
48 Workmen's Secretariates for the year 1904
show that 22 of these offices are administered
by the t rades councils of their respective lo-
calities, while 24 are administered by special
committees on which members of other bodies
besides the trade-unions are represented.
The bulk of the funds required to meet the
expenses of the offices are obtained by fixed
rates of yearly contributions per member of
the affiliated unions. These rates vary from
Id. per member in Berlin to 2s. 7d. in Gop-
pingen, the average rate, based on returns
from 36 Secretariates in 1904, being 91,^d.
One Secretariate (that of Gotha) receives an
annual subsidy of £100 from the State. Forty
of the 48 Secretariates reporting for 1904
make no charge whatever for their services,
while 6 of the remaining 8 charge small fees,
but only to non-members of the affiliated
unions.
Some idea of the maximum cost entailed by
the maintenance of a Workmen's Secretari-
ate may be obtained from the accounts of the
four institutions of this kind whose expendi-
ture in 1904 was greatest, viz., those of Ham-
burg, Nuremberg, Frankfort-on-the-Hain,
and Stuttgart, respectively.
Of the four Secretariates, that of Stuttgart
alone charged fees (to non-members), the
total amount received under this head in 1904
being £85. The number of non-members who
applied at that Secretariate for advice dur-
ing the same year was 5,490, so that the aver-
age charge made to each such applicant was
less than fourpence.
A large proportion of the questions dealt
with have reference to Workmen's Insurance
legislation, and it is claimed that, but for the
help of the Secretariates, large sums in the
way of compensation and pensions would be
lost to the working classes every year. A fur-
ther branch of the duties of the Workmen's
Secretariate is to prepare "opinions" on
points of industrial law and custom which
may be submitted to it, while a more impor-
tant function still is the representation of the
working classes before the insurance and other
tribunals which admit the presence of lay
advocates. Some of the Secretariates have
also conducted valuable investigations into
the condition (wages, hours of labor, housing,
etc.) of the working classes.
The officials who conduct the Secretariates
have in most cases been workmen, and, in the
capacity of trade-union officers or party lead-
ers, have qualified themselves by a study of
labor law to become its recognized exponents.
As the work of the Secretariates increases in
importance, however, the standard of qualifi-
cations required in their conductors is becom-
ing higher. Applicants for office have now to
undergo examination, which includes the
] (reparation of a thesis on some pertinent
phase of labor law, and to pass a period of
probation in the practical work of the Secre-
tariates. It is even proposed that in future
definite legal training shall also be required.
Workpeople form everywhere the bulk of
the clients of the Secretariates. Of a total of
164,223 applicants for advice at 37 Secretar-
iates in 1904, 141,803, or 86 per cent, are de-
scribed as belonging to this class. — British

The Nova Scotia Steel Company has pur-
chased submarine ore areas on the north of
Belle Isle. The deposits are beginning to
run short, and it looks as if the supply will
last but a few years. The company will now
determine whether or not the ore runs out
under the sea. One of their tunnels is about
100 feet from the sea and about the same
distance below sea level, and the ore has in-
creased in thickness by nearly two feet since
going underground. There is every indica-
tion that success will be met with on contin-
uing out under the sea. Should the venture
prove a success the company will have a sup-
ply for many years, but it will cost $100,-
000 to prove that ore is workable.

Eight Hours on the Isthmus.
The opinion of Mr. Isham Randolph, one of
the members of the Panama Board of Con-
sulting Engineers, that "the introduction of
the eight-hour system on the Isthmus seems
a lamentable mistake," because "it adds about
25 per cent, to the labor cost of the work",
no doubt, reflects the sentiments of the Ad-
ministration on that particular head, or it
would not have been handed to the Washing-
ton representative cf the Associated Press
with such dispatch and lack of reservation.
The eight-hour system on the Isthmus is like-
ly to prevail, however, if the sentiments of the
American public have any weight in deciding
the question. It seems strange that the Gov-
ernment should in this matter be actuated by
the very spirit of extravagance in all kinds of
expenditures, except the expenditure for la-
bor, which we so generally reprehend in the
trusts. The Eight-Hour law was devised to
save men, rather than to save money, although
the testimony of all employers of labor who
have tried the plan is overwhelmingly to the
effect that men who work only eight hours a
day do better work and as much of it as men
who are worked longer hours. The reason for
this is that the average man's capacity for
mental concentration or physical exertion is
not equal to more than eight hour's work out
of every twenty-four, and if it be taxed more
than that he must in defense of his health
and vitality simply go through the motions of
working. Most workingmen know pretty well
how much hard work they can stand in a day,
and if they are compelled to work twelve
hours a day they are not going to let them-
selves out as they know they could afford to
do if they were worked only eight hours. This
is why the eight-hour day is really more prof-
itable to employers of labor than a longer
workingday would be. Therefore, the Gov-
ernment's ill-concealed hankering after cheap
labor and long hours on the Isthmus looks
very much like the first unfolding of a diplo-
matic plan to conciliate the Chinese Govern-
ment by adroitly representing to the public
that the Panama Canal can not be economical-
ly constructed except by the employment of
coolie labor, and then exempting the Isthmus
from the workings of the follow-the-flag doc-
trine in regard to the Chinese Exclusion Act.
The Administration knows well enough that
in the present temper of the country it is vain
to expect that Congress will assent to any of
the modifications of the Exclusion Act now
demanded by the Chinese Government. Hence
the scheme of digging the Panama Canal with
Chinese coolies would have all the advantages
implied by the metaphor about killing two
birds with one stone. It would serve as a
lightning conductor to draw the wrath of
China's elder statesmen away from our un-
willingness to regard a Son of Heaven as a
man and brother, and it would give the Ad-
ministration a rare opportunity to fatten its
favorite contractors without any extra ex-
pense to the country.
The disappointed office-seeker is now "a
sadder and a wiser man."
"Turn the rascals out," say the rascals
who want to get in.
Taft on Exclusion.
Secretary Taft, in an interview which, ac-
cording to a press dispatch, will appear in the
next issue of The Churchman, gives his views
on the general political and economic situa-
tion in the Far East, as gathered on his recent
visit. Speaking of the Chinese Exclusion
question, he says:
There is a very decided resentment among the edu-
cated Chinese at the exclusion of their own class, but
I am led to think that, except in Canton, possibly, and
in Amoy, whence the laboring coolies mostly come, they
did not particularly object to the exclusion of the
coolie class. My impression is that the wisest course
for this Government to take is by amendments to the
existing treaties to ameliorate the conditions under
which the classes of Chinese admitted to this country
are to be admitted. If the certificates of American
Consuls upon our examining officers at our ports are
made conclusive, a long step will have been made
toward the satisfaction of the Chinese.
These views on the Chinese Exclusion ques-
tion, from a gentleman who has been quite
widely advertised as having "good Presiden-
tial timber" in him, are not calculated to
quieten the average citizen's apprehensions
regarding the Administration's policy of
tergiversation in dealing with that question.
The suggestion that the certificates of our
consuls in China he made "conclusive", etc,
sounds well enough at first hearing, but com-
mon sense ought to convince any sane man
that if we can not prevent graft in the public
departments in Washington under the very
noses of the authorities, we certainly can not
do so among our consular officials in far-away
lands. And making their certificates to Chi-
nese emigrants to this country "conclusive"
upon our examining port officials would open
up such tremendous possibilities of graft to
our consuls in China that most of them would
be seized with the longing which overcame
General Blucher, who, when he first beheld
London, exclaimed: "What a city to loot!"
This may perhaps .seem like an unwarrantable
reflection on the general probity of our for-
refleetion upon the general probity of our for-
eign consuls, but sailormen are, of all our
question. There are probably few sailors who
have not at some time or other in their ca-
reers had good reasons for thinking that our
consuls abroad are, as a rule — well, no better
than they should be. The writer vividly re-
members that in the old deep-water days it
was commonly believed by sailors that an
American consul could be "bought" by the
master of a ship for a sugar-cured ham and
a few cans of condensed milk. Without as-
suming that this view of their moral worth
is correct, it is still quite safe to believe that
our consuls in China, as a class, are no bet-
ter than the average of public officials in the
United States, and it is comparatively easy to
imagine what they would do if transplanted
to China and invested by our Government
with the exclusive monopoly of preparing and
disposing of "conclusive certificates," etc., to
the highest bidder.
A reckless proniiser is certain sooner or lat-
er to experience the sensations of the man who
found that he had bitten off more than he
could chew.

rests upon nothing more substantial than
newspaper advertising.
Destroying Derelicts.
The New York Herald has for many years
past advocated the formation of an interna-
tional union for the systematic destruction of
floating derelicts. In a recent editorial on
that subject the Herald says:
If the principal paths of ocean commerce are to be
kept clear of derelicts at all seasons of the year, two
conditions must be fulfilled. In the first place, each
nation co-operating in the work will have to construct
a special steamer for the purpose. Such a vessel
should be equipped with a derrick by means of which
torpedoes can be lodged and exploded in the derelict
without danger to the destroyer. But it is equally es-
sential that a small corps of officers and men specially
fitted and trained for the extremely difficult task of
finding and destroying derelicts should lie regularly
maintained and kept always in readiness to go in
search of abandoned vessels reported to be drifting in
dangerous proximity to the great ocean highways.
The expense of such a service need not be very great,
but under able administration it would amply repay
the cost in affording security to navigation from one
of the greatest terrors of the sea.
The need of such a service as that advocat-
ed by the New York Herald is understood by
none so well as by those seamen whose lives
have been placed in peril from narrowly-
averted collisions with derelicts. There is one
phase of this subject, however, which the Her-
ald has overlooked, or is unfamiliar with.
By far the greater number of derelicts in the
North Atlantic are lumber droghers loaded
with heavy logs and square timbers. To ex-
plode one of these wrecks with a torpedo
would result in scattering her cargo over a
wide area of the ocean, and unless the de-
stroyer were equipped to gather up all the
stray logs and timbers the danger to naviga-
tion would be rather greater than if the dere-
lict had been left unmolested. In the first
place, a derelict is much easier to sight, and
therefore easier to avoid, than a submerged
log. In the next place, there would, of course,
be hundreds of floating logs where there had
been only one derelict, and a vessel sailing
through the water at great speed and meeting
a heavy log butt-end foremost is certain to
have a hole stove in her bow big enough to
sink her. This has no doubt been the fate of
many a good ship which has been posted at
Lloyd's as "missing." Therefore, in addition
to the destroyers which the New York Herald
has in mind, the exigencies of the contemplat-
ed service would seem to demand a small
squadron of ocean tugs to tow lumber-laden
derelicts into the nearest port. The increased
expense which this would entail would be
partly, and in many instances probably more
than, covered by the sale of the cargo. But,
whatever the expense, the increased safety to
navigation would offset it many times over.
Emanuel Kakakes, a Greek seaman, arrived
in New York on October 23, on the Standard
Oil bark Brilliant, after having been in his
bunk three months and ten days with a brok-
en leg and without medical attendance. Ka-
kakes received his injury by being washed
against the vessel's bulwarks by a heavy sea.
He complains of neglect from (lie master, as
a result of which the bones of his leg have
not knitted properly, and he is now crippled
for life, lie has sued the Standard Oil Com-
pany for $20,000 damages. In this connec-
tion it is interesting to recall that John I).
Rockefeller recently gave $50 of his "tainted"
money to the American Seamen's Friend So-
ciety.

on October 31 for Vladivostok, after a stay of four-
teen months in the former port.
Advices from the Northern whaling grounds indi-
cate that a number of vessels have been caught in the
ice and will be unable to get out until next August.
The American ship Dirigo, bound from Philadelphia
for Honolulu, was reported on November 2 as having
put into Montevideo with ber cargo of coal heated.
The overdue French bark Duchesse de Bery arrived
at San Francisco on November 2, after a long passage
of 200 days from Swansea, Eng.
The British ship Hyderabad was recently chartered
in San Francisco to load wheat for Europe, after a

Struve and the Norwegian steamer Arnfrid, which
were seized at various times by the Japanese, have
been released.
The British ship Dundee arrived at Port Townsend,
Wash, on October 29, from Singapore after a very
hard voyage, during which an apprentice named Drum-

ance reaching 15 per cent.
Captain John Tremaine Smith, master of the Pa-

The steamer Pennsylvania, recently in service on the
Great Lakes, has been purchased by the Northwestern
Commercial Company for service between. Puget Sound
and Nome, Alaska, for next year's trade. The Penn-

built in 1873. For several years past she has been in
the service of the International Mercantile Company

The steam-whaler William Baylies, Captain Mudfish,
arrived in San Francisco on November 3 with 35,000
pounds of whalebone. The big catch of bone taken
by the Baylies comes from sixteen bowheads, and is
worth $150,000. Captain Bodfish will get about $16,-
000 as his share, the first-mate profits to the extent of
$8000, the second-mate gets about $5000, and so the
profits go down to the fifth-mate, who will receive
$1100, and the other members of the crew, who will be
paid sinus ranging from $200 to $300 each for their
good work. This is the best showing any whaler lias
made for many a year.

JacK Pvits It Up To 'E-m.
In the palmy days of the Baltimore clip-
per, a wealthy merchant gave orders for the
construction of a mighty ship, the largest of
her class and of the finest material. On the
day of her launching she was so much ad-
mired that the merchant decided that before
she went into commission he would give a
feast and jollification to all the workmen em-
ployed in building her.
The main deck was housed in with canvas
and decorated with flags and evergreens;
tables extended the whole length of each side,
with a cross-table in front of the poop for the
owner and his friends. At the appointed
hour, the workmen assembled at the festive
board and were welcomed by the host in an
appropriate speech.
It was seen that the chair immediately to
the right of the owner was vacant, and it was
explained that this seat had been reserved for a
representative of that craft which could make
the best claims to its importance in connection
with the ship. With this object in view
speeches were successively made by picked
men of the shipwrights, shipsmiths, caulkers,
sparmakers, riggers and sailmakers, all of
whom made earnest and telling tspeeehes in be-
half of their respective crafts. When the
merchant arose to make his decision, he was
greeted with tumultuous applause, but when
the noise subsided it was seen that the "chair
of honor" was occupied by a weather-beaten
old shellback, who leaned back, complacently
smiling at the astonished guests. Cries arose
of "Put him out!" "Fire him!" and those
nearest endeavored to drag him from his seat.
But the old fellow clung to the chair, and in
a voice loud enough to be heard above the
roaring of a hurricane, shouted :
"Avast, you lubbers! give Jack a chance to
speak for his mates."
Order was restored, and the owner decided
that Jack should have his say. After a great
deal of preliminary coughing and spitting,
the old fellow took a good-sized quid from his
cheek and gingerly laid it on the plate in
front of him, and thus proceeded :
"You have all had your say, and have said
it well. You have all done your work, and
done it damned well. I've watched you day
in and day out, and a prettier model, a better-
fastened, a neater-rigged, or a handsomer-
looking craft aloft or below I have never seen.
But, now you have finished her, what, will you
do with her? What good is she to you?"
Turning with a quizzical look to the mer-
chant, who sat quietly with a thoughtful look
on his face, Jack continued:
"When and how will you get the money
back that you have paid these men, if I and
my mates don't turn to and help you? if,
when laboring in a heavy sea, she springs a
butt, who will fasten it in the teeth of the
gale? Poor Jack will go to the pumps and
work to save your property. If a spar is
sprung, Jack must go aloft and fish it; if a
sail blows away, Jack must make a new one.
He stows your freight and puts it in the light-
ers when the ship reaches her destination; he
nurses her and looks after her with as much
c:\vo as a mother gives her child.
"You've all been receiving your wages
from the boss to enable you to live, but who
filled the pocket that you have emptied? And
win. will lill if again, that you may be paid
j to build another ship?"
At this moment the crowd commenced to
cry', "Sit down, Jack!" "Three cheers for
Jack!" And Jack took his seat in the chair
of honor" by unanimous consent.

WEDNESDAY.
NOVEMBER 8, 1905.
THE SINGLE TAX IS "IT."
The one thing that stands in the way of labor's
prosperity to-day is its failure to follow the teachings
of Henry George.
Here we have it, from the pen of Ernest H.
Crosby, "a stong friend of the trade-union
movement," as the gentleman himself avers.
The members of that movement will, of course,
be pleased to see themselves as others see them,
and go in for Single Taxism without further
delay. Now that our strong friend has spoken,
the cause of our troubles is perfectly plain.
We have been trying to raise wages, reduce
hours and do numerous other things that
seemed to our deluded vision to be necessary,
and which, as we have supposed, couldn't be
done except by methods involving more or less
trouble, when we might have achieved these
and other objects of a more far-reaching char-
acter by the simple process of taxing into our
own pockets that root of all evil described by
our strong friends in general as the "unearned
increment." It's a revelation, a light so bril-
liant as to dazzle the eye, a fact so patent as
to stagger the mind. To be sure, this is be-
cause both the eye and the mind of the trade-
unionist are rather dull. Probably, when the
shock is over we shall be able to contemplate
the situation with that sense of intellectual
elevation which characterizes the disciples of
St. George.
It may interest the Single Taxer to know
that the labor movement has already indorsed
his hobby. Such, at any rate, was the under-
standing and purpose of "Plank 10," adopted
by the American Federation of Labor in 1894,
and which still stands as a feature of the Fed-
eration's "legislative demands." "The abo-
lition of the monopoly system of land holding
and the substitution therefor of a title of oc-
cupancy and use only" was adopted by the
American Federation of Labor, in preference
to the Socialistic programme. Thus it appears
that the labor movement is already on record
as "following the teachings of Henry
George." The Single Taxers, however, are
not satisfied with this ; in fact, like most other
reformers with a panacea on tap, they have
rather less regard for those who follow them
in spirit than for those who openly and
avowedly oppose them. The Single Taxer
won't be happy until the trade-unions cease
their attentions to the employer and concen-
trate them upon the landlord. Evidently the
Single Taxer has doomed himself to a long
period of unhappiness.
The attitude of the Single Taxer toward
the labor movement is fatuous in the extreme ;
it is the attitude, not of friendship nor even
of disinterested criticism, but of hostility and
contempt. Prominent exponents of Single
Taxism, in the press and on the platforms de-
voted to that cause, decry trade-unionism as a
"temporary makeshift," an "ulcer," etc. We
are told that the methods of the trade-union
are "unjust and cruel," that the principle of
these methods is "indefensible"; that the
"Closed Shop" can be condoned only as re-
grettable expedient, and that the "Open
Shop" is right in principle and must prevail
as soon as the "Open Earth" is brought about
by the Single Tax. In brief, the reasoning of
the Single Taxer is identical with that of the
Socialist and Parryite. Even the motive is
the same in all three instances, namely, strong
friendship. Our friends love us so much that
they are willing to take risks of being caught
in very bad company — that is, in each other's
company — while protesting their devotion to
our cause !
If the Single Taxer would doff his halo
and get out of the rays emitted by his own
effulgence long enough to get some light on
the labor movement, he would perceive the
source of his mistake. For instance, Mr.
Crosby, in the article previously quoted, says
that he is "arguing for the recognition by
union men of the fact that there is no finality
in their campaign." This expression very
dearly indicates the mistaken view of the Sin-
gle Taxer. Union men recognize the fact that
there is "no finality in their campaign." In
other words, they recognize the fact that the
labor movement isn't a cure-all, that it won't
reform everything and set the world to wag-
ging with the regularity of an eight-day
clock. The labor movement is designed to se-
cure the best terms possible under given con-
ditions of industry, to improve these condi-
tions wherever possible, and in general to
make the worker's life a little better to-day
than it was yesterday, a little better to-mor-
row than it is to-day. "Many a little makes
a mickle," hence the results of the labor
movement, as seen on every hand and in every
improvement in the conditions of labor. Hence
the vitality of the labor movement in the past
and its assurance of usefulness in the future.
The labor movement accomplishes things pre-
cisely because there is no "finality" in it, be-
cause it doesn't scorn to do the little things
of to-day in the hope of doing big things to-
morrow or next day. The labor movement has
not produced any gods, nor even saints, the
worship of whom lifts the devoted into the
clouds or leads him into the cloister. The
labor movement, however, has produced a host
of good, sensible hard-working men, whose
united labors have built a bulwark between
their fellows and the forces of greed and op-
pression. If the Single Taxer would come
down to the ground long enough to learn the
difference between the movement that moves
and that which merely dreams of moving, he
would be a better Single Taxer because a more
intelligent man. All this, of course, is said in
a spirit of strong friendship for the Single
Tax, also for the Single Taxer.

HOSPITAL FOR FISHERMEN.
The constant risk to life and limb incurred
by the fishermen in Alaska, and the numer-
ous accidents that occur each season, make
imperative the establishment of a Marine
Hospital in that region. Accordingly, the
Fishermen's Protective Union of the Pacific
Coast and Alaska, representing the men di-
rectly concerned, has initiated a movement
for the establishment of a hospital. By way
of securing general support in this work the
following resolution has been submitted to a
number of organizations capable of express-
ing intelligent judgment on the subject:
Whereas, The urgent need of a Government hospital
in the Bristol Bay region is greatly felt by everyone
engaged in the Alaskan fishing industry, and especially
by the members of the Fishermen 's Protective Union
of the Pacific Coast and Alaska, many of whom have
suffered great hardships in the past through lack of
proper medical attention at the fishing grounds; and
Whereas, It is of vital importance to upward of
eight thousand men, who are engaged in the fishing in-
dustry in Alaska, that such hospital should be estab-
lished before the opening of the season of 1906, and
that immediate steps be taken to secure the proper
presentation of this matter to the Congress of the
United States at its coming session; and
Whereas, The Fishermen 's Protective Union of the
Pacific Coast and Alaska has already taken steps in
drafting and preparing such memorials and petitions
as will present the matter forcibly and clearly to the
proper Government officials as to the necssity of such
hospital ; therefore be it
Resolved, That we co-operate with the Fishermen 's
Protective Union of the Pacific Coast and Alaska in
this matter, and use our best efforts in securing the
establishment of such hospital; and be it further
Resolved, That the Secretary of this organization be
and he is hereby instructed to affix his signature and
the seal of the organization to such petitions as the
Fishermen 's Protective Union of the Pacific Coast and
Alaska may have to present in this matter.
This resolution has been adopted by the
San Francisco Labor Council, the City Front
Federation, of San Francisco, the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific, and a large number of
similar bodies. The representations thus
made will be conveyed to the authorities
through the California delegation in Con-
gress. It is hoped by these means to secure
the early realization of the project in view.
The importance of the Alaskan fishing indus-
try and the large number of men employed
therein, to say nothing of the demands of hu-
manity, fully justify the claims made by the
fishermen to medical care at the hands of the
Government.
A writer in the Labor Leader, a British
publication, noting certain decisions recently
rendered by the United States Supreme
Court, in cases affecting the interests of the
labor movement, says:
As a word of explanation let me say that in America
the judges of the Supreme Court are elected by the
people (a fact not generally known in England) and
when elected they have more power than the House of
Representatives, or even Congress. • * » The fact,
however, that this decision against the workers was
arrived at by a vote of five to four (a majority of one
only) shows that it would be an easy matter for the
worker to place a different definition on the Constitu-
tion by electing the Supreme Court judges from among
those with pronounced sympathies with labor.
Come to think of it, it seems rather strange
that the American people haven't thought of
this simple remedy for their troubles. By all
means, let us elect another United States Su-
preme Court! If we can't do that we may at
least elect one member of that tribunal so as
to turn the minority into a majority ! The
possibility here suggested by our British
friend will strike American readers as news
of a rather amusing variety, but no more so,
on the whole, than some of the news ( ?) con-
cerning affairs in other countries that finds its
way into the credulous columns of many
American publications.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Comrades Furuseth, Harrington and Mac-
arthur left San Francisco last Monday morn-
ing to attend the convention of the American
Federation of Labor, which opens at Pitts-
burg, Pa., on the 13th. At Chicago the com-
rades will be joined by President William
Penje, of the International Seamen's Union
of America, thus completing the delegation
from the latter body to the Pittsburg conven-
tion. Accompanying the first-named gentle-
men were Comrades Gill, Rosenberg and Pet-
tersen, of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific,
and Comrade I. N. Hylen, of the Fishermen's
Protective Union. At the close of the Pitts-
burg convention the entire delegation will
proceed to Cleveland, 0., as representatives
of the Pacific District in the convention of the
International Seamen's Union of America,
which opens in the latter city on December 4.
Several other delegates from the Pacific Dis-
trict will leave for the East during the latter
part of the month. These comrades carry
with them the best wishes of the membership
for the success of their mission.
The Cigarmakers at San Francisco are ask-
ing for a slight advance in their scale of
wages, which has remained stationary for
many years. There are no more loyal trade-
unionists anywhere than the Cigarmakers, the
pioneers of Union Label agitation. The Union
Label originated in the fertile brain of a San
Francisco Cigarmaker, and it has been adopt-
ed by all trade-unionists not only in America,
but throughout the world, as the most effec-
tive weapon for mutual self-protection. It is
the duty of every man who has reaped the
benefits of Union Label agitation to aid the
Cigarmakers in their demand for better con-
ditions. Demand the Union Label of the
Cigarmakers' International Union. See to it
that their label (a facsimile of which is print-
ed on page 16 of this issue) is on the box
from which you are served.
It is amusing to note the attitude of the
press, both daily and weekly, but particularly
the former, during these strenuous times
when all the politicians are heralded as the
real, genuine, always have been and always
will be friends of labor. Everybody who runs
for office on the opposition ticket is a rascal,
a thief or a grafter or something worse than
either. Every one who aspires for an office
on the ticket which has the endorsement of
the newspaper proprietor is an angel or
should be one if laudation could make him
one. The beauty of it all is that the dear
people will not be fooled by campaign lies,
for the game has been worked too often. The
reputation of our partisan newspapers as far
as veracity is concerned is fifty per cent
below 0.

Invention of the Telephone.
A recent number of the Frankfurter (Ger-
many) News contains an article intended to
establish that neither Reis nor Bell are the in-
ventors of the telephone. The Scientific
American, in July last, published an article
written by W. H. Sharps in reference to the
development of the telephone, in which Mr.
Sharps expresses the opinion that Reis, of
Friedricksdorf, had invented the telephone in
1861. Commenting upon this statement the
Frankfurter News says :
Mr. Sharps is in error in his presumptions
as well as in his ideas about the facts, as
neither Reis nor Bell are the inventors of the
telephone, which already in 1854 was describ-
ed in all its parts and was probably also con-
structed by the French mathematician,
Charles Bourseul. The Didaskalia, of Frank-
fort, for Thursday, September 18, 1854, re-
ports about the man and his invention, under
the caption'" Electric Telephony," the follow-
ing:
The wonders with which electricity has of
late surprised us are, as it appears, to be in-
creased by a new one which will not only pro-
duce a great revolution in the present electric
telegraphy, but which would also increase its
utility in an incalculable manner. It is noth-
ing more nor less than an electric transmis-
sion and delivery of the spoken word. The
idea is from a young and well-informed mod-
est man, Charles Bourseul, who in 1848 was a
soldier in the African army, where he attract-
ed the attention of the governor-general
through a mathematical course of instruction
which he gave to his comrades in the garrison
of Algiers, and who lives in Paris now.
The problem of Bourseul, of the practica-
bility of which he is convinced, may perhaps
be one of those discoveries which afterwards
is declared a very simple one by the' scientific
world, and which they then want to make us
believe would have been found long ago if
they had deemed it worth while. * # *
Electric telegraphy, at one time pi'onounced
to be the utmost nonsense, travels now
through the whole world as something to
which we have almost become accustomed; if
we consult the principles of physics with ref-
erence to these new ideas of a young physicist
then they make no objections to the possibil-
ity of their accomplishment, but their success
seems to be even more probable than that of
electric telegraphy itself not long ago. If
this is accomplished, then electric telegraphy
would have become common property; no fur-
ther machinery and knowledge except a gal-
vanic column, two vibrating plates, and a
metallic wire would be needed ; without other
preparation one would only have to talk
against one of the metallic plates, and an-
other would have to hold his ear against the
other plate; in this way they could converse
with each other as if in private. The young
inventor believes in the practicability of his
invention and challenges scientists to prove
that the laws of physics are contradicted by
the above principles and would therefore
make the desired end impossible. Meanwhile
the matter certainly deserves the attention it
receives in the highest degree.

The Reinstatement Law.
I have been requested by a correspondent
to explain Section A2. Article XIII, which
reads as follows :
Section A2, Article XIII. Members three
months in arrears shall be suspended, but
may be reinstated upon payment of arrears.
Members over two years in arrears, and not
having sailed during that time, may rejoin
this organization. Reinstated members shall
not be entitled to any benefit until six months
after said reinstatement.
I do not know that there is anything to ex-
plain about this. A printed copy of the
amendments, in book form, was sent out from
Headquarters, to be placed in all books, and
can be had at any office. Probably the point
the correspondent wishes explained is: "Can
a man run three months in arrears, then pay
up, and iret benefit?" The answer is emphat-
ically, No; not until he is six months in good
standing again. The last clause of the sec-
tion plainly states: "Reinstated members
SHALT; NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY BENEFIT UNTIL
six MONTHS ASTER SAID REINSTATEMENT. "

Another Big Freighter.
"William A. Hawgood and Arthur II. Haw-
good, of Cleveland, 0., have placed a contract
with the American Shipbuilding Company
for a modern freight steamer to cost $410,000.
The new boat, which will have a carrying ca-
pacity of 10,500 gross tons, will come out
June 1, 1906. The big freighter will be built
at the Lorain yard. Most of the* stockholders
in the steamer Iosco and schooner Olive Jea-
nette, which were lost in the big storm on
Lake Superior in September, will be inter-
ested with Messrs. Hawgood in the new boat.
This is the second order for a steamer of
the 10,000-ton class that William A. ITn
and Arthur II. Hawgood have placed with
the American Shipbuilding Company for 1906
deliver}'. The keel for the first boat that was
ordered will be laid at the Superior yard and
she will come out at the opening of naviga-
tion next spring.
The order recently placed makes twenty
large freight steamers that the Ame
Shipbuilding Company has closed contracts
for this year. One of the boats, the John
Stanton, which was ordered for next season is
in commission and lias made a trip in the ore
trade. All the other boats, with the excep-
tion of the last Hawgood boat, will be ready
to go into commission at the opening next
spring.
Notice to Members!

the Journal sent them during the winter
months, should scud full name, number and
address to Secretary Penje, 121 N. Desplaines

Worlds Largest Shipper.
The Mountain Iron mine, on the Mesaba
Range, has set a new record for the world for
shipments of an individual iron mine in a sin-
gle season. The mine up to date this season
has forwarded 2,000,000 gross tons. No other
iron mine in the history of the world has ever
made a record to equal this in one season.
The Fayal mine, at Eveletb, has heretofore
held the record, with a movement of 1,918,000
tons, in round numbers, in 1902. The
Fayal 's great record was passed October 11.
The Mountain Iron mine is what is known as
an open pit, the ore being mined and delivered
direct to cars by steam shovels. The mine
began shipping April 9, 1905, and in 189 days
mined and forwarded 2,000.000 tons. The
average has been 10,582 tons a day and a little
more than 432 tons an hour, day and night.
for that period.
The mine also has the distinction of being
the first Mesaba range mine to enter the ship-
ping list. It forwarded 4245 tons in 1892.
and that was the beginning of the great
things for the Mesaba. During the fourteen
years that have intervened the range has for-
warded close to the enormous total of 100,-
000,000 tons.
The Mountain Iron mine will have shipped
fully 11,750,000 tons by the end of the season,
since it was opened, in 1892. This is the sev-
enth continuous year that the Mountain Iron
has shipped more than 1,000,000 tons each
3rear. The lease of the mine is owned by the
Steel Corporation, and the fee by the State.
Minnesota has seven mines that will each
ship 1,000,000 tons or more of ore this sea-
son. They are as follows, the amounts being
approximate :
Mountain Iron, 2,000,000; Burt-Poole, 1,-
500,000; Adams, 1,600,000; Mahoning, 1,000,-
000; Biwabik, 1,100,000; Fayal, 1,250,000,
and Stevenson, 1,500,000 tons.
New Ore DocK.
Plans for the new ore dock to be built by
the Duluth, Missabe & Northern road at Du-
luth have been completed. The dock, which
will be constructed during the coming winter,
will cost about $500,000.
The present ore dock system of the Missabe
road has the largest capacity of any in the
vvorld, and the new one will be the largest in-
dividual ore shipping dock. The largest in-
dividual ore dock in existence at present is
the Great Northern No. 2, on Allouz Bay.
The Missabe's new ore dock will be of the
same length and have the same number of
pockets as No. 3 of that system. The length
is 2304 feet and there will be 384 pockets. It
will be seventy-one feet in height, which is
thi-ee and a half feet higher than No. 3, thus
affording greater pocket capacity and making
it possible for the larger class of boats to load
with greater convenience than at docks of les-
ser height. Great Northern No. 2 is also sev-
enty-one feet high, but the Missabe dock will
have thirty-four more pockets.

'Suspended for Six Months'
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.— Cries of "man overboard"
which greeted the ears of Captain Prank W. Swails
on the bridge of the steamer Iroquois as she passed
the inner lighthouse, brought no response. The
steamer continued on her way across the Lake under
full speed, and John Mcllughos, a sailor. Who had full
en into the water while fastening a finder on the
steamer's side, was left to drown. This nappe)
October 7, and to-day the United States Steamboat In-
spector suspended the Government license of Captain
Swails for six months.
The testimony showed that the captain knew that a
man had fallen overboard, but as he had seen a boat
put off from the lighthouse he did not deem it neces-
sary to stop. When the boat from shore reached the
spot McHughea had gone down for the last time.
''While the punishment is pretty severe," said In-
spector Mansfield, "yet the course of Captain Swails
appeared to us inexcusable. It was certainly
less. It is time a stop was put to such actions, hence
the penalty." — Press Dispatch.
Captain Frank W. Swails had his license
suspended for six months for drowning a
sailor, and Inspector Mansfield says "the pun-
ishment is pretty severe!" Now. what punish-
ment is fit for a man for murdering a sailor
if being suspended for six months; in other
words, if being given six months' holiday.
probably with full pay, is "pretty severe,"
wbat would be about right? My own idea of
what Captain Swails' punishment should be
is that of any other murderer — hanging.

Union Items.
The crews of the schooner D. P. Rhodes,
wrecked at Forty Mile Point, and the schoon-
er Iver Lawson, wrecked at Egg Harbor, have
arrived in Chicago. They report a very hard
time getting off the wrecks.
Captain Oscar Hendrickson, master and
owner of the schooner Kate Lyons, recently
wrecked at Holland, Mich., has been a mem-
ber of the Lake Seamen's Union for fifteen
years. The crew lost all their belongings and
narrowly escaped with their lives.
The steamer Indianapolis left Chicago on
October 25 for Seattle, Wash., with a union
crew on board. The crew will receive Lake
wages until the boat reaches salt water; then
they will receive Pacific Coast wages until she
reaches Seattle. The master of the Eastland
takes the Indianapolis to salt water; then she
will be given over to a deep water navigator.
It has been remarked that many boats of
the Bradly fleet have been in trouble lately.
The M. B. Grover was condemned by the
Local Inspectors at Chicago and has gone to
(be Shipowners' Drydock fur repairs and will
likely not get out again this season. The Fay
Sheldon and Rhodes were wrecked in the re-
eenl storm, and the Gladstone and Pasadena
had narrow escapes. They put into Milwau-
kee with over eight feet of water in the hold.
Shipping was good on the Chicago passen-
ger boats all summer, and it is extra good
this fall. The demand almost seems to exceed
the supply of men, as "black-book men" are
in the capacity of watchmen in many cases.
These Chicago passenger boats may properly
be called the best berths on fresh water, yet
men are hard to get for them most of the
time. The Goodrich line pays $45 to the men
through the winter. Graham and Morton pay
$45 on their Lake Michigan boats, and on the
Lake Superior boats they live up to the con-
tract with the Lake Carriers.

Work has been begun on the Northern Coal
and Dock Company's new clock at Duluth.
It will be located on Connor's Point, and is to
be 1,100 feet long.
The lighterage rate on grain from Port Col-
borne to Port Dalhousie has been reduced
from three to two and one-half cents, includ-
ing elevation, shoveling and trimming.
The tug Hudson, sunk by the steamers Ra-
mapo and Huron at Buffalo recently, has
been raised. The body of Fireman Thomas
Smith was found in the hold.
Captain Charles L. Hutchinson has organ-
ized the Tonopah Steamship Company to op-
erate the Joseph G. Butler Jr., which will be
launched at the Lorain yard of the American
Shipbuilding Company this month.
Receipts of iron ore at Two Harbors during
one week recently amounted to 221,000 gross
tons, or an average of about 36,800 tons a
day. The receipts for last month will prob-
ably be a little more than 1,000,000 tons.
Captain George A. Symes, who was sent to
the Canadian shore to look for victims of the
Tasmania wreck, has asked all the fishermen
between Leamington and Rondeau and on
Pelee Island to assist him by reporting to him.
Wheeling & Lake Erie and Wabash rail-
road officials spent some time at Huron re-
cently inspecting terminal and. dock facilities.
It is reported that the Wabash will install fast
unloading coal and ore machines on a new
slip to be built this winter.
Shippers, vesselowners and others at Du-
luth are all united in an effort to have the
Weather Bureau establish a station on Devil 's
Island, Lake Superior. A memorial is to be
presented recommending its establishment.
An eighteen-mile cable to Bayfield will be
necessary.
The steamer John Crerar upon arrival at
Port Dalhousie recently reported having
picked up the coal laden schooner Annie
Minnes, near the False Ducks, Lake Ontario,
in a helpless condition, having lost one mast,
rudder and sails in the gale. One member of
the crew had been washed overboard and
drowned.
Captain C. O. Flynn, of Duluth, has re-
turned from a wrecking expedition to the
burned hulk of the schooner Noquebay, which
is ashore in Presque Isle Bay, on Stockton
Island. The boat was loaded with 900,000
feet of hemlock lumber at the time of the dis-
aster and Captain Flynn succeeded in re-
covering 175,000 feet of lumber and the boat's
anchor and chains.
The wrecking tug Saginaw returned to Buf-
falo on October 27 from Long Point, having
abandoned efforts to save the steamer Sibe-
ria, which is now a total wreck. The two
watchmen who were on the vessel were taken
off and the boat abandoned to the seas, which
were fast breaking her up. The cargo of 90,-
000 bushels of barley on the ship was insured
for $36,000, but the hull was not covered.
The steamer Kaliyuga was lost, with all
hands, in the recent gale on Lake Huron. The
Kaliyuga carried a crew of seventeen men, as
follows: Chief Engineer Chas. A. Sharpe;
Thos. Wright, watchman; Captain Fred L.
Tonkin; Ernest C. Modder, second engineer;
Chas. Simmons, mate; Harry Loftaine and
wife, stewards; Thos. Carr, wheelsman; Geo.
E. Faster, watchman; Chas. Beauregard,

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
The rejection by the organized cotton mill
operatives of Fall River, Mass., of the offer
made by the Manufacturers' Association of
an advance in wages in the shape of a profit-
sharing scheme, is not much to he wondered
at. Profit-sharing is theoretically the fairest
method of awarding to labor its just dues,
but after all the recent disclosures of "high
finance" and insurance crookedness, and the
notoriously low business morality pervading
the social atmosphere of the country from one
nid to the other, workingmen are justly sus-
picious of every scheme on the part of em-
ployers which even remotely suggests open-
ings for ••honest graft." "Mutuality of in-
terests" sounds well enough, and is pood Sun-
day-school sentiment, but to the average work-
ingman a dollar in the hand is worth two in
the safe, any day in the week, and most of us
would have no objection to being paid every
nighl in the week. We would then be certain
of our wages, which is more than can he said
for the profit-sharing system, in this age of
grafl and all-round business crookedness.
Shipping on the Atlantic Coast is good.
And. stranger still for this season of the year,
there is a decided scarcity of seamen. Usu-
ally along in October and November there is
a noticeable increase in the number of seamen
on the Atlantic ("oast, caused by the closing
of the navigation on the Great Lakes and the
laying up for the winter of yachts and cer-
tain classes of fishing vessels. The presenl
scarcity of seamen on the Coast is undoubted-
ly symptomatic of the condition which calls
Forth every now and then the question, "Why
doesn'1 the American hoy go to sea?" The
old stock of seamen is passing away rapidly,
and as the conditions of living and work in
our merchant marine have not kept pace with
the improvements in industrial conditions on
shore the rising generation naturally enough
looks askance at merchant vessels a.s a means
(lf livelihood— or as a means of anything else,
to tell the truth.
The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company,
recognizing the growing popularity of the
West Indies as a winter resort for wealthy
Americans, has extended its Southampton-
West Indies service so far as to take in New-
York. The first steamer, the Taurus, sailed
from New York on October 28. She will be
followed by the Atrato, Plata, Trent and Ori-
ilar fortnightly intervals. All
these vessels are of 5,500 tons each, with ac-
commodations for about 200 first-cabin passen-
gers, and a speed of 17 knots. The route will
be New York to Kingston, Jamaica; Colon to
Puerto Colombia, La Guayra, Trinidad and
Barbados; and from there the steamers will
proceed to Cherbourg and Southampton, re-
turning by the same route to New York. At
Trinidad connection will be made with the
Company's intercolonial steamers to all of the
principal Windward and Leeward islands and
1 ). morara.
The German Housewives' Society, of New
York, is an organization for promoting effi-
cient domestic service. That body held its first
semi-annual meeting on October 2f>. and a
number of prizes were awarded to servants
who have stayed members of the organization
two years or longer. It was also decided to
build a "home" for the servants affiliated
with the organization, one feature of which
will be a school in which green servants will be
trained in the domestic arts of cooking, sweep-
ing, bed-making, etc., and also taught English.
The "home" will also be a sort of club with
facilities for recreation, and the esteemed
Housewives hope thus to solve the vexatious
servant-girl problem.
Fag Ends.
Nothing is so difficult as to be wholly nat-
ural.
Ambition, like fire, is a good servant but a
hard master.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall !
Conditions make men more truly than men
make conditions.
It is much easier to be generous than to he
just to our friends.
Competition is the life of government of
the weak by the strong and for the strong.
Full many a grafting hoodler's millions
prove that the best policy is "honest graft."
He that is small-minded when dealing with
bis enemies will never be high-minded when
dealing with his friends.
A mind that is governed by the precedents
of the past is but ill-fitted to cope with the
exigencies of the present.
When the candidate was "running," the
candidate a "people's man" would be; when
the candidate elected was the devil a "peo-
ple's man" was he.
If speech be but silver, while silence is gold,
that settles the hash of that chestnut so old.
that language was given to man to conceal
the thoughts which his silence, of course,
would reveal.
The Brooklyn Central Labor Union has ad-
dressed a circular letter to all affiliated bodies
asking them to join in an effort to issue a
monthly journal to represent the trade-union
movement of Brooklyn.
The man who tries to improve other men
may not succeed in the task, but he will at
least have the satisfaction of knowing that his
labors have not been altogether wasted, for in
trying to improve others we always improve
ourselves.
The "perseverance" of the self-made man.
which we are so solemnly told to emulate, is
often merely the dullness of mind which never
shrinks from boring others, and never per-
ceives a rebuke unless it is enforced with
ai-Liumentum baculinum.
Most optimists are delightful companions,
but unsafe guides. It is well, of course, to
note all that is good and beautiful in life; but
to get a proper focus on the world it is also
necessary to take cognizance of its evils and
its corruption. To be spiritually color-blind
is to be a spiritual neuter.

A new type of steamer has been de-
signed by William Doxford & Sons, of
Pallion, Sunderland, Eng. It is a vessel
built without beams, and its advantages
are claimed to be greater freedom for
handling all sorts of cargo and lighter
draught in proportion to dead weight.
Instead of the beams crossed over the
holds, stout stanchions are raised nearly
flush with the sides of the vessel, and
when these are brought to a certain
height equally strong diagonal joists are
raised from them to the upper decks,
1 1i i iss forming a bracket or cantilever at
each side. The stanchions and joistB
closely follow the lines of a turret ship
and thus take up little room.

A resolution favoring the admission of
Chinese of the better classes to the Unit-
ed States on the same terms as now
apply to travelers from any other coun-
try was passed recently by the New York
Chamber of Commerce.
Bricklayers and other laboring men of

recommended the manufacturing of
boots and shoes and a factory may be
constructed for that purpose.
The Cigarmakers' Union of San Fran-
cisco has submitted a new scale of price3

live to ten per cent. The new scale has
been approved by the International,
which will support the local onion in en-
forcing it.

Chicago because of the labor difficulties
there.
A strike of painters and plumbers in

$.3 a day of eight hours, have struck for

sistence upon a Saturday half holiday.

break the printers' strike. The Tyi
tae was unable to get printers in Canada
to take the places of the strikers, al

The firm of Williams, Dimond & Co.
is the defendant in an action brought by
Andrew J. Fulton to recover $21,000
for alleged breach of contract. The

plaintiff, was that he was to receive $L'
for each Italian laborer he might induce
to go with his family to the Hawaiian
Islands, where work on sugar plantations
was awaiting them. Counsel for plain-
tiff says the defendants broke their
agreement with Fulton because they
found it would be cheaper to employ

CANADIAN TRADE-UNION CONGRESS.
Twenty-First Annual Gathering.
Resolutions Adopted and Defeated.
THE twenty-first annual meeting of the Trades
and Labor Congress of Canada convened in the
Labor Temple in the City of Toronto, Ont., on
Monday, September 18, this being the fourth occasion
on which the congress has met in Toronto since its
formation in 1873, and the first time since 1892. Mr.
Robert Hungerford, president of the Toronto District
Trades and Labor Council, delivered the address of
welcome on behalf of organized labor, while the act-
ing Mayor and the chairman of the civic reception
commitee extended a welcome on behalf of the city.
Professor Goldwin Smith, of Toronto, Ont., and Mr.
Ralph Smith, M. P., of Nanaimo, B. C, ex-president
of the congress, delivered short addresses, and Mr.
Prank Peeney, of Philadelphia, Pa., fraternal dele-
gate from the American Federation of Labor, ex-
tended fraternal greetings from that organization,
Other addresses were made at the opening session by
several representatives of organized labor.
Mr. Alphonse Verville, of Montreal, president of the
congress, replied to the addresses, thanking the speak-
ers for their expressions of good-will.
The report of the Credential Committee showed
that one hundred and thirty-six delegates were entitled
to seats in the convention, thirty-one of whom repre-
sented thirteen trades and labor councils, five repre-
sented four federal labor unions and ninety-nine rep-
resented sixty-two international trade unions, with one
fraternal delegate.
The report of the Executive Committee was read by
the secretary-treasurer, Mr. P. M. Draper, of Ottawa,
Ont. After referring to the steady advancement which
has been made during the past year, it was stated that
while there has been a general increase in wages, the
advance has not kept pace with the increased cost of
living, which waa stated to represent from 40 to 60
per cent on the cost of domestic necessities. Refer-
ence was made to the harmony existing between the
congress and the various international bodies, several
of which were stated to have affiliated their local
unions in Canada and to be paying the per capita
tax for the same from headquarters. The defeat of
the Union Label Bill by the Senate "was mentioned, as
well as the decision of the Ontario legislature to dis-
continue the competition of prison-made goods with
free labor. With regard to immigration, reference
was made to the Act passed at the last session of the
Dominion parliament, providing for the punishment
of those found guilty of circulating information mis-
representing labor conditions in this country. The
decision of Mr. Justice Auglin declaring that the Do-
minion government had no power to enact the deporta-
tion clauses of the Alien Labor Act was recorded, as
was also the amendment to the Criminal Code where-
by the right of citizens to trial by jury for certain
labor offenses is made clear. In reference to the ques-
tion of the ' ' open shop, ' ' the executive asserted that
it involved the denial of the right to organize, which
would never be surrendered by workpeople, as it in-
volved recognition of their claim for fair living wages,
reasonable working hours, proper sanitary conditions,
etc. Other subjects referred to in the report included
public ownership, the visit of the Canadian Manu-
facturers' Association to Great Britain, labor legis-
lation, the attitude of the Grand Trunk Railway
toward its employes, and the union label.
The British Columbia Executive Committee referred
in its report to the amendment to the Coal Mines Reg-
ulation Act which became operative on the 1st of July,
1905, and which provided for an eight-hour day for
all underground workers in coal mines. The passage
by the Legislature of the "Deceased Workmen's
Wages Act ' ' was also commented upon. The con-
gress was recommended to hold its next session on the
Pacific Coast ; also to endeavor to secure the passage
of an immigration Act by the Dominion Government
similar to the Natal Act, to check the importation of
Japanese into Canada.
The Manitoba executive stated that the city of
Brandon now affords scope for a number of labor or-
ganizations, and referred to the action of the Winni-
peg city council in adopting the fair wage clause on
municipal contracts, which the executive are assured
will be carefully enforced.
It was stated that complaints had been made that
the fair wage schedule on some Dominion Government
contracts was being v:olated, and that some of the
building trades organizations made complaint to the
Department of Labor, which sent an officer to in-
vestigate ; owing to the difficulty of securing evidence,
it was stated the charges were not proved, except in
one case, where restitution was made. Owing to the
heavy immigration of mechanics from Great Britain,
the labor market in the early part of the year was
stated to have been overcrowded, but the campaign
carried on by the Congress and the Trades Councils
of Winnipeg and other cities in the British press was
reported as having been very successful.
The Ontario committee reported that it had inter-
viewed the Ontario Government on November 1, 1904,
and again on March 22, 1905, relative to the question
of prison-made goods, with the result that the manu-
facture of brooms in the Central Prison was discon-
tinued in June, 1905, when the contract expired. On
April 12, 1905, the committee again waited on the
Government and presented the following matters for
consideration:
That all prison-made goods be labeled.
That an Act be passed making it compulsory to re-
move all coverings from walls and ceilings before be-
ing renewed.
That all street cars in future bought or constructed
by street railway companies be provided with a pas-
sage through each open car.
That the Factories Act be so amended as to raise
the age limit of children employed in shops from 10 to
14 years, and that "offices" be placed under the juris-
diction of the Shops Act.
That additional factory inspectors be appointed
and the province divided into districts of smaller area
than at present.
That the stationary engineers' bill be passed and
made law.
Expressing confidence! in the management of the
Ontario Labor Bureau and deploring the fac I that the
Manufacturers' Association had decided to withhold
necessary information.
Of the above requests the committee stated only
one was dealt with, that being the Stationary Engi-
neers' Bill, which was referred to a special commit-
tee which was considering the same when the II ohm
prorogued. The amendment of the statute whereby
inspectors under the Ontario Factories Ad when called
as witnesses may object to give evidence us to any
factory inspected by him in his official duty was re-
ferred to.
The New Brunswick executive committee informed
the congress that the provincial government had pass-
ed a factory Act of last session, and it was expected
that an inspector would be appointed to enforce its
provisions. Attention of international unions was
called to the need of organization work in the mari-
time provinces, especially as St. John in the winter
months is to be the landing place for foreign laborers.
The report of the committee on the executive com-
mittee 's reports, which was adopted, concurred for the
most part in the reports, and made recommendations
in favor of an anti-contract labor law instead of an
alien labor law. The committee also recommended
that if no labor candidates are in the field for par-
liamentary elections, that support be given to the
candidate most favorable to labor measures, but that
this must not be construed as to sanction the appear-
ance of labor men on platforms of political parties
not distinctly labor parties. At a subsequent session
of the Congress a resolution interpreting the above
was adopted as follows: That the interpretation of
candidates of a distinct labor party as expressed shall
apply to only such as are the nominees of trade coun-
cils, or conventions held under the auspices of trade
and labor unions of any locality placing candidates in
the field.
In reference to the Ontario report, the executive
was recommended to again bring to the attention of
the Legislature the matters presented last year.
Mr. John G. O'Donoghue, parliamentary solicitor
of the congress, presented a report relating to the
matters intrusted to him during the last session of
parliament. This report, which was considered in se-
cret session, dealt with the following subjects: Wages
of Intercolonial Railway employes, Alien Labor Bill,
railway insurance old ago pension scheme, public
ownership, Railway Disputes Act, steamboat inspec-
tion, Cowiehan Indians, immigration, Dominion Elec-
tions Act amendment, safety of ships, certificates of
masters and mates, Grand Trunk Pacific and health
regulations, Seamen's Act amendment, employment of
civil servants outside of die service, Union Label Bill,
Criminal Code amendment and false representations to
immigrants. The solicitor also refered to the appoint-
ment of the Tariff Commission by the Dominiion Gov-
ernment, and recommended the placing of labor can-
didates in the field for parliamentary representation
where there is reasonable hope of success, and to elect
men who can be depended upon to aid legislation
promoted by the congress.
The committee to whom the above report was re-
ferred recommended: That the Government be urged
to pay a reasonable wage to certain employes on the
Intercolonial Railway in spite of deficits in its opera
tion : that the solicitor endeavor to obtain amendments
to the Alien Labor law as soon as possible, although
an anti-contract labor law would be preferable; that
the subject of immigration be left in the hands of tie'
executive committee; that civil servants be prohibited
from accepting other employment than that for which
they are salaried; and thai efforts !»• made to
the Union Label Bill made a government measure. The
above recommendations were adopted, as well as one
to appoint a special committee to appear before
Tariff Commission to properly place the views of the
wage-earners before thai body, and that local laboi
organizations be asked to co-operate. The suggestion
regarding candidates for parliamentary represents
tion was approved, but one in reference to tin
pointment of labor representatives to the Senate was
defeated.
The report of the special committee which was
pointed at the convent ion "i I in' i ong] es i held at
? ■ c i -i 1 1< : : I last year to confer with a committee horn
the Canadian Manufacturers' Association was i
red to a committee, an. I the report of this committee

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
stated that while the congress \v;is not opposed to con-
ferring with the Manufacturers' Association, any
overtures towards that end should come from the lat-
ti r, inasmuch as the manufacturers had failed to moot
iongres3 in its endeavor to promote industrial
peace and harmony.
The secretary-treasurer presented the following fi-
nancial statement :

Twenty-nine trades and labor councils, and twenty
federal labor unions are now chartered by the con-
gress. Pour federal labor unions were chartered dur-
ing the year, three charters wen- surrendered and two
revoked.
The fraternal delegate to the American Federation
of Labor, Mr. John A. l'lett, presented a report of
the convention which was held in San Francisco, Cal.,
in November last, in which, among other matters, at-
tention was diretced to the growth of the organiza-
tion during the past eight years, the membership in
1904 being 1,787,200. The report was approved.
The following resolutions of a general character
were approved by the convention:
Expressing sympathy with the International Typo-
graphical Onion in its effort to secure an eight-hour
day.
Asking the American Federation of Labor to hold
its 1906 session in Canada.
Asking thai letter carriers lie placed in the same po-
sition as other employes of the civil service in regard

Expressing sympathy with the striking machinists

locked out iron moulders in London, Ont., and pledg-
ing moral support.

to law so as to permit tenants as well as freeholders

cates of competency.
In favor of the executive of the Congress acting as

local unions and international officers.
Against the government having printing required

In favor of the technical schools, and asking that

That provincial Legislatures be asked to pass laws

Instructing the executive of the Congress to assist
local unions involved in legal cases where funds are
necessary to carry the suits to higher tribunals.
Jn addition to the approving of a committee to wait
on the Tariff Commission to present the views of or-
ganized wage earners in reference to a revision of the
tariff. I ress passed the following resolution on
jame Bubjei t :
Resolved, That all possible effort be put forth, and
all opportunities be embraced, to bring about an
equality before the law as between the buyer and sel-
ler of labor, which can best be secured at this time
by the advocacy of such changes in our trade policy
as will result in more equitable protection.
A resolution in support of the action of the British
Trades Congress in opposing the policy of Joseph
Chamberlain was endorsed. The resolution, minus
the preamble, set forth :
"That the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada
should us loyalty to the British Trades Con-
gress, which, at its convention held recently, over-
whelmingly endorsed the fight against Mr. Chamber-
lain's policy. Canadian union men believed that an
injustice done to the wage-workers of the motherland
is a blow at the wage-workers of Canada and would
ultimately attach added burdens to tin already over-
burdened Canadian working cla
A resolution calling for the disbandment of the
militia, and as a substitute requiring volunteers to buy
their own supplies and bear their own expense in the
protection of the country was introduced and referred
to committee. The resolution was as follows:
That the Congress views with alarm the recent ac-
tion of our government in increasing the armed force
and armament of this country without any justifica-
tion, at a cost wholly unnecessary, and productive of
the very worst results in the demoralization, of the
youth of this country, the waste of the national re-

The British Posloffice.
The report of the British Postoffice Depart-
ment for the year ending March 31, 1905,
shows a tremendous iiiercit.se in the business
done. The number of letters passing through
the Postoffice continues to increase, the total
for the year being 2,624,000,000. The num-
ber of letters delivered in London, however,
shows a decrease of 5 per cent. This, it is
claimed by the authorities, represents no fall-
ing off in London's correspondence, but is
rather owing to the popularity of the picture
post card, for it is to be noticed that the num-
ber of post cards used has increased by 19.7
per cent during the year. Newspapers to the
number of 179,000,000 were posted, while
there were 843,000,000 half-penny (1 cent)
packets and 97,000,000 parcels. A grand total
of 4,479,000,000 communications of various
kinds, excluding telegrams, passed through
the mails.
The number of undelivered packets dealt
with was 26,568,740, a decrease of 139,243,
which is believed to be partly due to a dimi-
nution in the number of foreign lottery cir-
culars posted in this country. The number of
registered letters and letters containing prop-
erty sent through the post with insufficient
addresses was 315,965. These letters con-
tained $86,769 in cash and bank notes and
$3,027,562 in bills, checks, money orders,
postal orders and stamps. One packet con-
tained jewelry whose value exceeded $10,000.
The number of letters containing valuable
contents posted with no address at all was
4,507, the contents including $46,568 in va-
rious forms of remittances. It was found pos-
sible to restore the greater number of these
letters to the senders.
Although the number of insufficiently ad-
dressed letters was smaller than in the pre-
vious year, the total value of the contents thus
jeopardized was greater by more than $20,-
000. There was a slight increase in the num-
ber of articles found loose in the post during
the year. These included $5,699 in cash and
$58,632 in checks and other forms of remit-
tance.
During the year 88,969,000 telegrams pass-
ed over the Postoffice wires against 89,997,000
in 1903-4. This falling off is thought to be
due to the growth of the telephone system.
The extension of the underground trunk tele-
graphs is going on, and underground com-
munication with the city of Plymouth and the
west of England is to be established. A pipe
is being laid to contain 137 wires. It is to
run between Llanwell and Slough. During
the present year it is expected that it will be
extended from Slough to Reading. A pipe
and cable between London and Chatham is
also being talked of as a beginning of an un-
derground route to the southeast coast, the
point of departure of many of the submarine
cables.
The telephone system continues to flourish.
The total number of conversations over the
trunk wires for the year was 15,461,822.
This shows an increase of 1,993,847, 14.8 per
cent, over the number for the previous year.
The gross revenue derived from this service
was $1,850,769. The average value of each
conversation was about 12 cents. The tele-
phone is being more largely used for sending
messages to the various Postoffices for trans-
mission as telegrams or express letters. Over
two and one-half million telegrams were sent
in that way du.-ing the year, and 48,000 ex-
press letters.
The Postal revenue of the year was $79,-
202.180, the expenditure $55,749,578. The
net profit was $23,408,603, or nearly $980,000
more than last year. On the working of the
telegraphs, if allowance be made for the in-
terest on the capital created for their pur-
chase, the telegraph deficit on the year is $5,-
917,557. It should be noted, however, that
the yearly deficit on telegraph revenue is de-
creasing.
The Beaufort DyKe.
The Beaufort Dyke off the coast of the Mull
of Galloway is a deep trough in the bed of the
Irish Sea. It is cut sharply out of a compara-
tively level sea bottom, with an average depth
of seventy-eight fathoms, and extends down
to from 100 to 148 fathoms. Attention
has just now been directed to it by the proposi-
tion to construct a submarine tunnel from
Scotland to Ireland. In connection with the
surveys that have been made of the channel
bottom, it has been found that there are
currents of considerable force at work in the
bottom of this trough. At one point the bot-
tom was worn away at the rate of sixty feet a
year, while in another place it was being built
up almost as rapidly. The origin of currents
acting at such depths — 140 fathoms — is of
considerable interest to geologists. This is
much deeper than the waves and currents even
on exposed coasts have been supposed to act.
In a recent issue of the proceedings of the
Royal Irish Academy, H. G. Kinahan suggests
that while the effect of wind waves and tide
waves is reduced to zero at moderate depths,
there are deep currents induced by these sup-
erficial waves to the depth of whose action no
definite limit can be assigned. The origin
of the dyke itself is not known, but faulting
and glacial action seem to offer the most prob-
able explanation.
It is reported that the experiments with the
new turbine steamer Princess Elizabeth, of
the Ostende-Dover line, have been surprisingly
successful. The steamer is said to have aver-
aged twenty-four knots an hour, thereby ex-
ceeding the record of all other passenger
steamers. The three steam turbines of the
Parsons' system installed in the new boat de-
velop an aggregate of 10,000 horsepower.
This steamer will carry more than 900 pas-
sengers.

Socialistic Fallacies.
Socialism, according to its exponents,
means, in a nutshell, the collective ownership
and operation by the community of all the
means for the production and distribution of
wealth. That sounds very simple and fair
until Ave go behind the proposition and find
how much there is to it that does not appear
at first blush. To begin with, wealth is pro-
duced mainly from two sources, land and ma-
chinery. Of these two sources, land supplies
all the raw material of wealth, including raw
material of machinery, as well as numberless
finished products. Hence land, as a producer
of wealth, is far ahead of machinery, and it
is even conceivable that mankind could live
very well without machinery, but even a socia-
list must admit that men could not very well
live without land. Despite this self-evident
proposition the land question with socialists is
not nearly so important as the question of ma-
chinery, and it is doubtful if there is one so-
sialist in a hundred who has any definite ideas
regarding the solution of the land question
along practical lines. But they are very
voluble on, and thoroughly convinced of, the
evil of private ownership of machinery, and
therein lies the proof that socialitsts as a class
are economically nearsighted. In the first
place, there is, for instance, only so much
land in the United States, and it can not be
increased one iota. Under our present system
of land tenure, it would be quite possible for
one person to own all the land in the United
States, and he would, of course, not incur the
least risk of competition as a producer of
wealth from land. It is a different proposi-
tion with machinery, however. Machines can
be manufactured in any number required, and
the only ones who could stop the output in
machinery are the owners of the land from
whence the raw material for the manufacture
of machinery must come. As this is not likely
ever to happen there can not possibly ever be
a private monopoly of machinery, except in
so far as a patent confers a monopoly, which
reduces the question of machinery as a pro-
ducer of wealth to the plain proposition of
State ownership of patents. In the same way
the question of land as a factor in the produc-
tion of wealth could be reduced to the plain
proposition of State appropriation of rental
land values. There would then be nothing on
which to found a private monopoly of any
kind, and hence no need of Socialism.
On the subject of the distribution of wealth
the ideas of socialists seem to be even more
hazy. Wealth is distributed by means of rent,
wages and interest, and it is difficult to under-
stand how these things can be "owned" or
"operated" by the State. In their very na-
ture, rent, wages and interest must always re-
main personal affairs to be settled between
man and man to the mutual satisfaction of
both parties. "What socialists really mean
when speaking of the distribution of wealth
is the transportation of wealth. This brings
us down to the at present much-discussed
question of public ownership and of pub-
lic utilities. That question may be briefly
disposed of by pointing out that the un-
doubted advantages to the public from pub-
lic ownership and operation of public util-
ities are very largely offset by the inevi-
table evils resulting from increased govern-
mental powers. Government in itself is mere-
ly the lesser evil which we have chosen in pref-
erence to the greater evil of anarchy. It thus
follows logically that the less government we
have, compatible with public safety of life
and property, the better government we will
have, and the more personal liberty we will
enjoy. It is also a well proven sociological
fact that those countries have advanced the
most in the things comprehended under the
term civilization, where individual initiative
has been most encouraged. Under Socialism.
as contemplated by its exponents, individual
initiative would be materially curtailed, with
the inevitable result that national progress
would be proportionately curtailed. Democ-
racy and civilization must rise or fall togeth-
er, and Democracy in its truest sense means
the greatest measure of personal liberty and
individual initiative which the preservation
of public peace and safety admits of.
All this is aside from the self-evident fact
that with the increased powers of government
which Socialists contemplate, the evils inher-
ent in government itself as a human institu-
tion would be proportionately increased, for
human nature is changed by natural evolu-
tion, not by constitutional amendments or
changes. But, as Socialism is in the main
merely a protest against private monopoly of
natural sources of wealth, its aim could be at-
tained, as before hinted at, by State ownership
of patents and the appropriation by the State
of the rental values of all land. This pro-
cedure would necessitate not the least increase
in governmental powers, and as private
monopoly of land and machinery would then
be impossible, the distribution of wealth
would ultimately be effected naturally
through the increased opportunities for in-
dividual initiative.
That story about "a society woman, highly
connected and with influential friends in
Washington," who smuggled a necklace worth
$22,000, and whom Secretary Shaw of the
Treasury spared from "exposure and humili-
ating publicity," in consideration of $13,000
spot cash, is but another proof that our re-
publican majesty of the law has no terrors for
those who possess the wherewithal to appease
his wrath. The double standard of respecta-
bility would seem to be doubly out of place in
a republic dedicated to democracy, but the
actual fact is that for downright official fawn-
ing upon wealthy lawbreakers we have the
world beaten to a frazzle.
It is quite possible to fool the people all the
time, Abraham Lincoln to the contrary not-
withstanding. All that is necessary is to have
a liberal supply of "new issues" on hand,
and a fair knowledge of how to manipulate
them. When the people begin to "tumble"
to the "nothing-in-it" character of one "is-
sue," launch another and, presto!, the fool
ing goes on serenely as ever.
An ancient proverb amended to fit modern
conditions: Everything is fair in business and
in politics.
Navigators or Engineers.
Rear-Admiral Charles W. Rae, Engineer-in-
Ohief of the navy, in his annual report attacks
the wisdom of the regulation whereby officers
of the line are compelled to serve alternately
on deck and in the engine room. Says he :
So few officers of the line are taking up engineer-
ing seriously that the situation is becoming alarming.
Were the country suddenly pillaged in war, the navy
would find itself in no condition to win battles. As
necessary as good marksmanship is the ability to
carry our guns to the firing line anil to keep them
there amidst the havoc created by modern ordnance,
and this will never be done with amateurs in charge
of the machinery.
This would seem to be obvious. There is a
trite and true saying that what is worth do-
ing at all is worth doing well. The work in-
trusted to naval engineers and officers of the
line is unquestionably worth doing as well as
it can be done, considering the great number
of lives that depend for their safety on its
being done well. But, a high degree of ef-
ficiency in any given profession or vocation
can only be attained by devoting all one's
faculties and energies to that one profession
or vocation. Practice makes perfect, and
specialization is mainly responsible for the
great advance this age has made in all the
useful arts. "Shoemaker, stick to your last!"
is good, sound advice. The naval engineer or
officer of the line who sticks to his nautical
equivalent of a "last" may become a master
some day, but it is a dead certainty that if lie
monkeys with more than one "last" he will
never be anything more than a commissioned
jack of all trades. The Bennington disaster
was a sermon on this subject which only hide-
bound fools can possibly ignore.
there is also an increasing demand for Chinese
and Japanese laborers in the South, because many em-
ployers think that they would be more docile and
more servile than either the negro or the European.—
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Courier-Journal is to be commended for
its frankness in this instance. It might have
added also that all employers prefer Chinese
and Japanese labor to the labor of negroes
or Europeans because it is ever so much
cheaper. This whole question of the importa-
tion of Mongolian coolie labor forms the
strongest proof of the truth of the oft-made
assertion that there is no sentiment in busi-
ness, and that, in fact, the business element
in the community, instead of being the "sale.
sane and conservative" backbone of the nation
as it claims to be, is really the greatesl menace
to democratic institutions and the orderly
progress of civilization. The proof of the
pudding lies in the eating of it. and in the
undisguised encouragement given to Chinese
and Japanese labor by our business men lies
the positive proof that they are of I lie after-
me-the-Deluge stamp of patriots. If any more
proof of the justice of this accusation were
needed it, would only be neeessjirv |o point out.
that the festering national corruption I'min
which we are at present suffering has in everj
instance been traced directly to that eminently
respectable class of citizens who are now so
desperately straining ^x^ry resource al their
command to debauch this country morally,
socially and economically by unrestricted
Chinese and Japanese immigration.
Honest criticism never stings an honest
man.

The brig Galilee, which has been making a cruise of
the Pacific for scientific purposes, arrived at Honolulu
on November 7.
The steamer M. F. Plant lost her propeller while
lying at Coos Bay. Her place on the Coos Bay route
will be taken temporarily by the Areata.
A severe typhoon, accompanied by a deluge of rain,
took place at Guam, on November 8, The damage done
to property is considerable. The towns of Aagna and
Piti were inundated. No lives were lost.
The ship Acme, from Baltimore for Manila, pre-
viously reported ashore in Princess Channel and float-
ed September 19, is leaking slightly. She will be
towed to Cavite at a cost of $300 a day.
The wreck of the British bark Kirkhill, which struck
on Wolf Eock while bound to San Francisco from
Newcastle, England, and afterward foundered, was
sold in London for 348 shillings.
The German cruiser Falke, after a long sojourn at
San Francisco, sailed on Nov. 11 for the south. She
will call at San Diego for a brief sojourn, and later
will call at Mazatlan and all the principal ports of
the Mexican and Central American coasts.
The Costa Rica having proved too small for the
Astoria and Portland route, the steamer Senator, a
sister ship of the late St. Paul, lias been chartered
by the San Francisco and Portland Steamship Com-
pany to run between San Francisco and the Colum-
bia river.
The Moore & Scott Iron Works was awarded the
contract for repairing the damage done to the steam-
er Aurelia when that vessel collided some days ago
with the 3teamship Umatilla. Moore & Scott's bid
was $4075 and they agreed to do the work in nineteen
calendar days.
The International Fisheries Conference, called to
device means for the protection and perpetuation of
the Sockeye salmon, the principal canned salmon in
the market to-day, opened in Seattle, Wash., on No-
vember 9, with all the members of the Canadian and
Washington commissions present.
A new patent sounding apparatus for use on vessels
was tested on Nevomber 10, by J. W. Frank, the
patentee, outside the Heads of San Francisco. He
claims that the water's depth may be easily ascertain-
ed from the surface, instead of from the bottom of
the sea, and he asserts moreover that his invention
will force every sounding device to the wall.
An ordinance has been passed calling a special elec-
tion on Coronado Beach, San Diego, Cal., to decide up-
on the issuance of $135,000 bonds for the construction
of a seawall. A great part of the cost of the whole
work will be borne by the Hotel Del Coronado Com-
pany. The work was made necessary by erosion dur-
ing a heavy storm last year.
Honolulu merchants who have been trying to charter
a steamer and establish an independent line to run be-
tween Honolulu and San Francisco in order to secure
lower fares and freight rates, have started a movement
to raise funds for the building of a large ocean
steamer. It is reported that over $1,000,000 has al-
ready been subscribed.
Second Mate L. J. Christenson of the steamer New-
burg was drowned at sea after that vessel left Aber-
deen, on the way to San Francisco, on November 4.
The captain reported that Christenson fell backward
over the deckload of lumber, and went overboard. The
steamer was stopped and a boat lowered, and boats
also put out from shore, but the man had disappeared
before he could be reached.
The Oceanic Steamship Company 's liner Alameda
will sail for Honolulu December 2, with all trace of
her experience on the Fort Point rocks obliterated
and her hull and machinery in better condition than
ever. She was the best little liner on the Pacific be-
fore her misadventure. When she goes into com-
mission again she will be just a little better than she
was before.
An electric launch that has been in use as a ferry-
boat between Vallejo and the Navy Yard magazine
has proved unsatisfactory for the purpose and will be
replaced by a gasoline boat furrnished with a Peters
three-cylinder engine of thirty horse-power, capable of
high speed. The owner is J. Anderson. The new
ferry-boat was formerly a Government vessel and is
thirty-six feet long, with a beam of nine feet.
An oil-burning schooner built for Charles Higgins
of San Francisco was launched at the Lindstrom yards
at Aberdeen on November 9. Mrs. Higgins, wife of
the manager, broke the customary bottle of wine over
its bows and the launching was successful in every
way. The craft is 184 feet long, has 38-foot beam and
12 1-2 feet depth of hold. She will carry 700,000 feet
of lumber and cost $76,000.
An announcement is made that a new line of Emp-
ress steamers, each from 14,000 to 15,000 tons gross,
will be built by the Canadian Railway Company, to re-
place the liners now running from Vancouver to Hong-
kong. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company in-
tends to improve its service and make a greater reduc-
tion in the time from Hongkong to London. The
twenty-one days now required from Vancouver to
Hongkong will be cut to sixteen days.
Captain John Bermingham, Supervising Inspector,
at San Francisco, has made the following ruling re-
garding pilots: "If you have reason to believe that
a United States licensed pilot has either so negligently
or unskillfully navigated a vessel, whether under reg-
ister or enrollment, as to cause her stranding or
wreck, the case should be investigated by you under
Section 4450, United States Revised Statutes, and
yrur r'ci ision rendered thereon regardless of whether
Mich officer holds a State pilot 's license. ' '
It is reported that the Pacific Coast Steamship Com-
pany has awarded the contract to Moran Profilers, of
Seattle, Wash., for the construction of a steel steamer
of 1500 tons register, to be used on the San Francisco
and Puget Sound route. The vessel is to be 237 feet
in length, 39 feet in width and 17 feet in depth, with
a speed of seventeen knots an hour, and will be equip-
ped in the most modern style, both as to passenger
accommodations and for handling freight. A sister-
ship is to be built later, but not until this steamer is
in service.
The Northwestern Steamship Company, owning the
steamer Tacoma, seized by the Japanese during the
Russo-Japanese war, has begun suit in the Superior
Court at Seattle, Wash., against the Maritime Insur-
ance Company to collect $13,362.20, the amount of an
insurance policy issued on her cargo, which the com-
pany refuses to settle on the ground that at the time
of the seizure the vessel was violating the order of
President Roosevelt by carrying contraband of war.
United States Local Inspectors O. F. Bolles and
John K. Bulger, at San Francisco, have suspended the
license of Captain Thomas Boyd for twelve months, on
the grounds of unskillfulness and negligence. Boyd
was master of the steam-schooner Gipsy, which went
on the rocks and became a total wreck in the harbor
of Monterey on September 7. Captain Boyd's excuse
for the mishap was that he mistook a red light, ahead
for the one on the Pacific Coast Company's dock and
changed the course accordingly.
Following is the reinsurance list as posted at San
Francisco on Nov. 13: German bark Suzanna, 156
days from Port Talbot for Caleta Bnena, 40 per cent.
French bark McMahon, 178 days from Swansea for
San Francisco, 15 per cent. French bark St. Dona-
tien, 171 days from Bordeaux for Adelaide, 90 per
cent. British ship M. E. Watson, 160 days from
Cardiff for Antofagasta, 40 per cent. British bark
River Indus, 133 days from Port Talbot for Iquique,
30 per cent. British ship Eskasona, 176 days from
Antwerp for Oregon, 8 per cent. British ship Trav-
ancore, 70 days from Hongkong for Puget Sound, 8
per cent.

WORKINGMEN, ATTENTION!
All Union Men are warned to observe the utmost
care when buying working shirts and overshirts. It
appears that many dealers who advertise Union goods
are selling shirts which are not made by ' ' Union
Labor, ' ' but by the wives and daughters of farmers in
the time which they have to spare when not working
at fruit picking, cannery work, or the various short
season jobs which country people find to occupy them.
Naturally this works great harm to the Union working
men and women in the cities, who are surely entitled
to the support of all Union workmen, for living ex-
pense in all cities is higher than in the country. Those
who buy these non-union made shirts are depriving a
large number of Union Shirt Makers of lucrative em-
ployment, which is scarcely consistent with the prin-
ciples of trade unionism. We therefore say to all
Union Workmen, pay no attention to a prominently
displayed union card or the dealer 'a advertising. If
you cannot find this label
SSUEO BYAJ/IWORITV OF
on a shirt, it is not union made and cannot consist-
ently be worn by a Union Man.
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased
portion of the ear. There is only way to cure deaf-
ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf-
ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear-
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condition, hear-
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Hall 's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Congress on Insurance.
The Seventh International Congress on
Workmen's Insurance was held at Vienna, on
September 18-22, and was attended by more
than 600 delegates, including official repre-
sentatives of Austria-IIungaiy, Belgium,
Denmark, France, the German Empire, Hol-
land, Italy, Luxemburg, Russia, Sweden, and
Switzerland, in addition to Mr. Schloss, as
representative of the Board of Trade; Sir
John Cockburn, K. C. M. (!.. representing the
Commonwealth of Australia, and Hon. W. P.
Reeves, on behalf of New Zealand.
The subjects brought before the Congress
included the following: The development of
workmen's insurance since the first Congress
met in 1889; certain general questions con-
cerning such insurance (including interna-
tional arrangements as to the insurance of
workmen of one country employed in an-
other) ; the unification and simplification of
workmen's insurance; insurance against old
age and invalidity; the compilation of inter-
national statistics of accidents; accident in-
surance, and the prevention of accidents.
The Congress passed a resolution in rela-
tion to the question of International Statis-
tics of Accidents to the effect that note was
taken of the resolutions with respect to this
matter adopted by the International Statis-
tical Institute (which at its meeting in Lon-
don in August last appointed a committee to
deal with this question), and itself named a
committee, to which it entrusted the task of
continuing the study of this subject, in agree-
ment with the committee appointed by the In-
ternational Statistical Institute.
The Congress decided that its next meeting
shall be held in 1908 at Rome.— British Labo-
Gazette.
New Zealand Labor.
The Fourteenth Annual Report of the New
Zealand Department of Labor (covering the
period April 1, 1904, to March 31, 1905) has
been issued and contains information respect-
ing (among other things) the operation of
the Factories Act and the Shops and Offices
Act, the Housing of the Working Classes, and
the working of the Industrial Conciliation
and Arbitration Act, the Servants' Registry
Offices Act, and the Shearers' Accommodation
Act..
The report states that the position of the
working classes generally, during the period
under review, "appears to be highly satisfac-
tory. Although there has been inequality of
employment in some trades if compared with
the preceding three or four years, on the
whole the advance has been great and well
sustained. The amounts deposited in the sav-
ings banks have in ten years risen from £3,-
966,849 to £8,432,958.
The report adds, that "the factories of New
Zealand maintain the steady ratio of increase,
which has been the rule of late years. The
value of buildings, plant, machinery, etc.,
was materially added to, and the numbers of
those employed were also steadily augment-
ed," having been 67,713 in 1904-05, as against
63,968, 59,047, and, 55,395 in cad, of the three
preceding years respectively. There were few
breaches of the Factories Act. In some fac-
tories difficulty was experienced in obtaining
young workers.

WEDNESDAY,
NOVEMBER 15, 1905.
Till: A. F. OF L. CONVENTION.
Tlie twenty-fifth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor was called to
order in the Old City Hall at Pittsburg, Pa.,
on November 13. Eepresentatives of organ-
ized labor from every section of the United
States and Canada, also fraternal delegates
from the trade-unions of- Great Britain were
present. The significance of holding this
year's convention in Pittsburg is due to the
fact that the American Federation of Labor
was organized in that city a quarter of a cen-
tury ago. Pittsburg had the honor of housing
the men who organized what has since be-
come the greatest federation of workers in the
history of mankind. Now, after twenty-five
years, the same city has within its confines
the representatives of more than two million
American workingmen, celebrating the silver
jubilee of the American Federation of Labor.
As usual, many questions of vital import-
ance to different trades and callings will be
deliberated and acted upon. There will be
numerous jurisdiction disputes which require
consideration and decisive action. It may be
expected that a number of these disputes will
be adjusted by the convention, while others
will be left practically undisturbed with the
hope that time will help to straighten the tan-
gle. Among those who will expect a clear-cut
decision are the Seamen's delegates. It has
been generally admitted that the case "Sea-
men versus Longshoremen" has been before
the conventions long enough and that the
delegates to the convention now in session can
not again evade the issue. The facts in the
case have been fully presented in these col-
umns and nothing need be added to the Sea-
men's contentions at this late day. The dele-
gates at the Pittsburg convention are noAV
sitting as jurors and the verdict will be an-
nounced during the next few days. Whatever
the decision will be, the Seamen have the ut-
most confidence in the fairmindedness and
impartial judgment of the jury. Much of the
Seamen's immediate future depends upon the
outcome of this controversy; but regardless
of the result, the organized Seamen of Amer-
ica will remain, as ever, loyal trade-unionists,
always willing and ready to lend a helping
hand to those in need and at all times con-
scious of the duty which they owe to them-
selves and their fellow workers on land.
"DE WORL' DO MOVE!"
Our maritime contemporary, "Shipping"
Illustrated, in a recent issue, takes a pretty
stiff whack at the crimping system. This, of
itself, is nothing new. Maritime contempo-
raries in general are given to whacking the
crimps, but they do so with the obvious reser-
vation that they don't intend to hurt the
crimp, while they may make the other fellow
feel good at the thought of his own superior-
ity. All of which, of course, is good business
for the maritime contemporary. "Shipping"
Illustrated, however, doesn't stop at the
crimp, but goes after the "man higher up"
in a fashion well calculated to disturb the
dignity of certain official circles ashore and
afloat. Commenting upon the views expressed
by the Reverend Mr. Hunter, Secretary of
the American Seamen's Friend Society
(which views, by the way, are in themselves
rather unique, considering their source), our
contemporary proceeds to voice its own views,
which, on account of their novelty (again
considering the source) we reprint in full, as
follows :
As a commentary to the foregoing, it might be sug-
gested that the all-important fact is that sailors are
made to desert even when they do not intend doing so.
A ship arrives at a Pacific Coast port, say, 150 days
from the United Kingdom or the Continent. An A. B.
at a low average pay of £3 a month, has thus earned
£15, out of which, allowing an advance of £3, there re-
mains a balance due him of £12. Every Saturday the
man will be given about five shillings, perhaps two
dollars, to spend on shore, whilst during the week the
hardest and most disgusting tasks arc assigned to
him. As soon as the man sets his foot on shore and
loses sight of the "hell-ship" left behind, he has but
one aim in view, namely, leave her. Suppose by doing
so he forfeits £10 in wages, the dishonest skipper can
very well afford to pay a crimp £4 a head for new
men supposing his charter requires immediate dis-
patch. The new men, will, of course, have to be paid
a higher rate of wages; but the owners will be told
that all the men "cleared" and great difficulties were
had in finding a new crew. As can be seen, both
owners and crew are thus robbed, while the crimps
and the dishonest skipper are pursuing this up-to-date
slave traffic without the least interference from the
officers of the law. It is, as the reverend gentleman
puts it, "the duty of a British Consul to maintain
British interests abroad, and to protect British sub-
jects, obtain for them the rights, and prosecute, or
cause to be prosecuted, those who violate the laws of
their country ; ' ' unfortunately that noble view of
their duties is very seldom taken by British or Ameri-
can consuls, who seem to think that their only duty is
to collect fees, send reports (in the case of our own
consuls, we know what that often means) to their gov-
ernment, and attend banquets and social affairs.
Should the British consuls report to the United States
authorities all the violations of our laws which come
to their notice, many abuses would be speedily
checked. Instead, they will send reports, in the style
of that quoted above, which will cast a slur upon hon-
orable and honest skippers while effectively shielding
the scoundrel. These are the conditions affecting for-
eign shipping at our ports, but the same could be said
of our ships in foreign waters, as American vessels
have unfortunately acquired an unsavory reputation
at South American and Chinese ports. In conclusion,
voluntary desertions can be checked by intelligent ef-
forts in that direction, but forrced desertions, which
constitute a gross violation of existing laws, embody-
ing blackmailing, bribing and swindling of all parties
concerned, should command the immediate attention of
shipowners. They alone can put a stop to the prac-
tice, as they do not benefit by it, but often lose char-
ters thereby. To expect some consuls to do their duty
is, it seems, to expect too much of human nature.
These statements are very true and very
gratifying, coming as they do from our mari-
time contemporary. The statement that
forced desertions "should command the im-
mediate attention of shipowners" is particu-
larly enjoyable. The Journal trusts that the
shipowners, now they know about it, will act
upon the suggestion right away. With the
American Seamen's Friend Society and the
maritime press saying things right out to the
crimps and consuls, and plainly suggesting
things to the shipowners, we may confidently
join the colored brother in announcing that
"de worl' do move!"

SEAMEN'S JOURNALISM.
For many years the Coast Seamen's Jour-
nal was the only paper of its class, a journal
of seamen, by seamen, for seamen. It is true
the organized seamen of Great Britain estab-
lished an official organ known as Seafaring,
shortly after the first appearance of this pap-
er. Unfortunately our British contemporary
has been unable to maintain a consecutive ex-
istence. For the present Seafaring has again
ceased publication, but it never remains dead
for any length of time and is likely to resume
its career of usefulness at almost any moment.
The next oldest paper published by seamen
and for seamen is Der Seemann, (The Sea-
man), the organ of the German Seamen's Un-
ion. The German paper made its initial ap-
pearance in Hamburg in 1898, and has never
since missed a single issue. Der Seemann is a
power for good and has accomplished much
for the seafarers of Germany during the eight
years of its existence. Had it not been for the
able and incontrovertible arguments present-
ed in the German seamen's paper in behalf of
a revision of the rather ancient maritime laws
of that country, it would have been impossible
to arouse the public sentiment which finally
forced the Reichstag to amend the old law and
make it at least in some respects, a model
worthy of imitation by other maritime na-
tions. Der Seemann is issued every other Sat-
urday, and is distributed free of charge to
members in good standing in the Union.
The seamen of Holland, whose organiza-
tion is known as the Algemeine Nederlandsche
Zeemansbond, have also launched a paper of
their own upon the high sea of journalism.
The name of their official organ is De Neder-
landsche Zemann (The Netherlands' Seaman),
it is published at Amsterdam, and is of course,
edited and managed by seamen. Much of the
splendid progress made recently by the or-
ganized seamen of Holland is no doubt due to
the inspiring work of their own paper which
prints the truth regardless of consequences.
The youngest child in the happy family of
journals owned and controlled by the toilers
of the deep is the Swedish publication Sjofol-
kets Tidning (Seafolks Tidings) In Sweden
the seamen are as yet practically unorganized,
notwithstanding this fact Sjfolkets Tidning
has been able to keep above the troublesome
currents of financial distress and has appeared
regularly since its inception. The Swedish
paper completes the list of seamen's journals,
making a total of four publications who are
preaching the gospel of trade-unionism among
seamen of all classes.
The Danish Seamen's Union supported a
journal of its own for a number of years but
during the recent disastrous strike at Copen-
hagen, the Union was forced for financial rea-
sons to temporarily suspend publication of its
organ. Recent advices, however, indicate that
Denmark will shortly be again represented in
the field of seamen's journalism.
It goes without saying that our above men-
tioned contemporaries and co-workers for the
Brotherhood of the Sea have always had the
best wishes for success from the organized
seamen of America. May they ever prosper
and grow and extend their influence over lar-
ger and larger territory to the end that the
seamen of the world may become better solidi-
fied and work shoulder to shoulder for their
own cause and for justice and human liberty
to all as embodied in International Trade-
Unionism.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Whether or not Mr. Partridge, the defeated
Fusion nominee for Mayor of San Francisco,
was dominated and controlled by the local
Citizens' Alliance is a question still debated
by the contending factions. Both sides agree,
however, that the very presence of the Citi-
zens' Alliance helped to roll up majorities for
the candidates of the Labor party. If the de-
feated Fusionists will now join hands with
their victorious opponents and put "Herb"
George and his henchmen of the Alliance out
of business all will be well and both parties
will be the gainers. San Francisco is and will
remain a Union City and the sooner the few
ill-advised merchants, who are still contribut-
ing to grafter George's scheme, withhold their
support from that would-be Union Buster the
better it will be for all concerned !
Circular No. 30, issued by the Eight-Hour
Committee of the International Typographi-
cal Union, shows that 254 unions have secured
the eight-hour day, while fifty-one locals have
secured partial contracts. The circular also
states that returns thus far received at head-
quarters show a practically unanimous adop-
tion of the fifty cent per week assessment
proposition. All indications point to an early
victory for the printers. The Eight-Hour
day has come to stay and it is only a question
of time when the workers of all trades will
adopt the printers' battle cry: "We propose
to sell to the employer eight hours out of
twenty-four, and do as we please with the re-
maining sixteen."
Mongolian Seamen.
An editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle
of July 8, stated that the United States is
avowedly and by practice a protectionist coun-
try and devoted considerable attention to the
desirability of building up "over-sea trans-
portation" by the means of subsidies. Ke-
garding the justice or expediency of giving
subsidies to steamship lines we can add but
little to the discussions that have already
taken place, but as a seaman with a seaman's
love for his profession we say that something
should be done to elevate the American mer-
chant marine to the proud position occupied
by it previous to the civil wrar. But we most
emphatically object to the payment of sub-
sidies to those companies who employ Mongol-
ian seamen to the exclusion of the white race.
This question has been very ably explained by
the Honorable Edward J. Livernash in an ap-
pendix to the Congressional Rpcord, second
session, 58th Congress, and at the risk of re-
iteration we will condense from the record for
the information of those who have not read
the same.
The Pacific Ocean presents a problem having a fac-
tor peculiar to itself in that Asiatics are driving from
it even those Caucasians who are eager to work in the
stokeholes, saloons, cook 's galley and on deck.
Sailors of Chinese blood may be had in Hongkong
in practically unlimited numbers at $15.00 Mexican
per month ($7.50 American) and firemen or stokers at
$18.00 per month, Mexican ($9.00 American).
Nearly all observers of conditions in Asia agree that
the immediate future holds for the Occident substan-
tial growth of commerce with China, Japan and the
Islands off the Asiatic mainland; but whatever the
progress of the commerce of America with Asia, it
cannot be wise to surrender to Orientals the forecas-
tles of American ships engaged in the trade with the
Far East.
Here then is the reason why the American
seaman does not look with favor upon the pro-
posal to grant subsidies to American steamers
— protection to the builder and shipowner
and virtual ostracism for the American sea-
man. It is only another phase of Commer-
cialism, the desire for the cheap man. The
promoters of the scheme point ostentatiously
to their desire to increase the number of Amer-
ican ships so that we might have a breeding
ground for the men who would naturally be
called upon to man our navy in time of war;
but there is no sincerity in their claims, they
will never consent to accept any measure com-
pelling them to carry white seamen unless the
seamen will work for the same wages that is
paid to the Mongolian. The merchant wants
protection for his goods but he also wants the
cheap man to work for him, the Chink and
The Jap. Mr. Taft was very recently
advocating free trade with the Philli-
pines, let us have . such a law and we
will soon see what will happen. Manufactur-
ing plants will be established in the Islands
run by the cheapest kind of labor and this
country will be flooded with cheap-made
goods. Permit that policy to be adopted and
there will be no American seamen nor any
other kind of American workingman. We may
tread softly and speak gently when we discuss
the "yellow peril," but nothing will be accom-
plished until we take into our hands the ' ' Iron
mace of the Hammerer ' ' and strike blow after
blow until we destroy the wall that capital is
building around us; we must make up our
mind not that the "Mongolian must go" but
that he must not come; that we will consider
as our enemy that man, or association of men,
who advocate their immigration or employ-
ment on American vessels, public or private.
We have a law — I may be misinformed, how-
ever,— which prohibits the employment of
aliens by the United States Government, yet
our army and navy employ them by hun-
dreds. We know of a steamer arriving at a
Pacific Coast port with a numerous crew of
Chinese who were afterward transferred to a
government vessel at the Navy yard, and.
what can we do about it?
Sometime last December the International
Seamen's Union of America in convention as-
sembled called the attention of the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor to the violation of
the law but they were informed that the At-
torney-General of the United States had ruled
that the Chinese Exclusion law and the con-
tract labor law did not apply to seamen — if
not to seamen, why to any other class of
workingmen, if the law can be violated with
impunity in favor of the Chinese in one field
of labor why may it not be violated relative
to other laborers when the Executive thinks
fit? We do not understand these fine sub-
tleties of the law, but we think we know right
from wrong whether it be promulgated by a
Moody, a Teddy or a Taft.
We do not expect the labors of a Hercules
from our Congressmen and look to see them
snowed under and sat upon by the colleagues
from the East and South at the next session
of Congress; but we do not forget what hap-
pened some years ago under like circum-
stances, we have a very lively recollection that
something dropped, and it not only may but
will happen again if the necessity arises.
It is up to the toilers to say whether Mongo-
lian cheap labor shall continue by land and
sea, if it shall be protection to our manufac-
turers and their goods and free trade in the
cheap laborer? — protection for the ship build-
er, subsidies for the shipowner and free trade
in' Mongolian seamen ? What shall we do to
be saved? Shall we adopt as our motto an
expression of one of our great captains "what
has to be done must be done quickly?" So
that whether we win or whether we fail it may
be said of us as was said of the greatest of
American seamen— Paul Jones — "He dearly
loved close fighting." THE DOCTOR.

New LaKe Steamer.
The American Shipbuilding Co. has closed
a contract for another monster freighl
steamer for 1906 delivery. The order was
placed by Henry A. Hawgood and his son. II.
B. Hawgood. The general dimensions of ihe
new boat will be the same as the steamer
-Tames ( '. Wallace, which came out this season,
and which 1 business boat. The Wal-
lace is the largesl vessel that ever delivered a
caren at Cleveland. The new steamer will be
552 feet over all. 532 I'eel keel, 56 feet beam
and 31 feet deep. She will have triple expan-
sion engines and Scotch boilers, and she will
be fitted with all modern appliances for han-
dling ship and cargo. Next to the six big
steamers of the Pittsburg Steamship Co.'s
fleel she will be one of the largest carriers on
the lakes.
The Hawgood boat, which will cost $41.").-
000, will be completed and ready for business
June 1."). 11)011. She will be built at South
Chicago or Wyandotte.
This order makes twenty-one contracts for
steamers that the officials of the American
Shipbuilding Co. closed this year. The
steamer John Stanton of the Hutchinson fleet,
which was the first boal ordered, is in commis-
sion, and has made two trips, although the
contract did not call for delivery until next
spring. The steamer Joseph Butler Jr.,
launched at Lorain recently will be placed in
commission this season.
St. Mary's Canal Traffic.
The tonnage passing through the St. Mary's
canals has passed the record of the greatest
year in the history of the lakes, and there are
still nearly two months before the season
closes. The total net freight tonnage to the
1st of November was 37,993,630.
The greatest year in the history of the
canals heretofore was in 1902, when the total
for the season reached 35,961,146 net tons.
If business continues during November and.
December in the same volume as last year the
total for the year will be 43,876,163 net tons.
October this year \vas a heavier month than
October last by half a million tons. The ton-
nage I'm' the month was 6,046,187. The grain
traffic reached 25,728,254 bushels, iron ore
4,063,949 tons, general merchandise 113.421
tons, lumber 141,426 M feet, board measure,
east-bound freight 5,162,801 and west-bound
883,386. Vessel passages numbered 2,908.
The twenty-four-inch hydraulic suction
dredge Northumberland was launched from
the yards of the Polsom Iron Works. Toronto,
November 2. The Northumberland represents
the most modern practice in hydraulic dredges,
and is capable of dredging in forty feet of
water. Her general dimensions are as fol-
lows: Length, 147 feet: beam, forty-four I'eel:
depth, nine feet at side: draft, five feet. The
suction pipe, discharge pipe, and booms are
all of steel. The cutter head is a large steel
casting, driven by independent engines at the
head of the suction pipe. The dredged mater-
ial will be conveyed by triple cylindrical pon-
toons (the two outer cylinders acting as floats)
from the discharge in the end of hull to the
point of clump.
Deal for Standish Mine.
An important iron mine deal on the Mesaba
is now being closed up, according to reports
from reliable sources, but full particulars are
not available. Independent iron and steel
manufacturing interests of Ohio, and Penn-
sylvania are taking over the lease of the
Standish mine, situated near the Morris mine,
at Jlibbing, for a consideration of between
$300,000 and $400,000. The owners of the
lease are Senator E. B. Hawkins, O. D. Kin-
ney and A. M. Miller Jr.
It is understood the deal is in effect closed
and that nothing further remains to be done
beyond the usual formalities.
The Standish mine is estimated to contain
not less than 7,000,000 tons of merchantable
ore. The mineral has been shown up during
the last two years. The fee of the property is
owned by the Vermilion Iron Land Co. The
overburden is not too heavy to permit strip-
ping, though it is possible the new leasehold-
ers may develop it as an underground mine.
It is understood the property is to be opened
soon and will enter the shipping list next sea-
son.
It is announced that the sale of the Pere
Marquette-C. H. & D. system to the Erie rail-
road will not alter the carferry plans at De-
troit. Work on the new slips on both sides of
the river is progressing and it is reported that
the road will be transporting cars across the
river on its own boat about the middle of this
month. The new steamer No. 14, built at
Wyandotte two years ago and now being op-
erated at Port Huron, will be taken to De-
troit. At the Detroit office of General Man-
ager William Cotter it is stated that the serv-
ice at Port Huron will be maintained with
some other boat. The Pere Marquette has had
one of the Canadian Pacific steamers under
charter at that point for some time.
A. A. Sinclair, Government Inspector at
Grand .Marias, Mich., has reported to Major
Charles L. Potter, the United States Engineer,
details of the wreck of the schooners Nirvana
and Galatea. He says Captain Trudell and
crew of the Life-Saving station did excellent
work in saving the crew of the Nirvana, num-
bering seven men. The schooner is split in
two, fore and aft. The Galatea rests on an
even keel, but is sunk 500 feet off shore.
James Fitzpatrick, aged sixty-three, a sea-
man on the barge William A. Young, had his
left ankle dislocated and received severe
bruises by jumping into th hold of that ves-
sel at Huron, O., recently. Fitzpatrick got
foul of a line while the vessel was being
heaved to the dock, and to escape being
caught in the winch jumped into the hold. He
was later conveyed to a hospital in Sandusky.

Marine Notes.
The schooner Defiance capsized in Sturgeon
Bay. but the crew of three men were rescued.
The vessel was towed to port
Ashtabula county commissioners have been
permanently enjoined by Judge W. S. MetcaM
from removing the bridge which spans the
river or building a new one. The government
ordered this done and a $200,000 bond issue
to do it thereby stopped.
The barge Manitou of Cleveland, bound
from Conneaut to Deseronto. laden with coal.
foundered off the Bonnetl light, Lake Ontario.
The lost boat was owned by J. I'. Karr of
Cleveland and was in tow of the steamer Car-
ter. The crew were all rescued by the Carter
and taken to Deseronto.
The customs report of business done at
Ashtabula harbor during the month of Octo-
ber, is as follows: Arrivals 217, clearance 207,
ore received S04.268 tons, stone received 6.-
242 tons, lumber received 301,000 feet, coal
shipped 182,589 tons. Ashtabula has received
to Nov. 1. 5.627,816 tons of ore.
The Rutland Transit Company, operating
eighl steamers between Ogdensburg and Chic-
ago will spend about $100,000 in improve-
ments at Ogdensburg during the winter. The
present warehouses will be enlarged, one ad-
ditional built, the dockage extended and mod-
ern machinery installed for unloading vessels.
Canadian marine underwriters have decided
to extend their rates from December 5 to De-
cember 15 in order to enable grain at Port Ar-
thur and Fort William to be moved before the
close of navigation, and the government will
be asked to keep buoys and other aids to nav-
igation in place much longer than in past sea-
sons.
Two steel package freighters are to be ad-
ded to the Rutland Transit Company's line
next season. The American Shipbuilding
Company has concluded negotiations for the
two new boats for delivery June 15, 1906. The
two steamers will be id' steel, identical in every
detail and will be built along the best lines
known to shipbuilding.
The body of Isaac Myers, who was drowned
in the Pretoria wreck more than two months
ago, was found on the shore of Outer Island,
four miles from the place where the schooner
foundered. Twelve men were drowned on the
Sevona and Pretoria, and all the bodies ex-
cepting that of Myers were found some time
ago. His relatives reside in Bay City.
The Myers Salvage Co. of Cleveland has
been refused an extension of time on its con-
tract to raise the steamer Linden, sunk in St.
Clair river last June by collision with the
steamer City of Rome. The company will
forfeit $500 bond and will lose what has been
expended on the job. Lieut. Col. Davis, Unit-
ed States engineer, will at once advertise for
bids to remove the wreck from the channel.
Following the stranding of three vessels on
the shore north of Milwaukee, Congressman
W. H. Stafford recently called on Captain W.
V. Judson, United States engineer, relative to
the advisability of establishing a signal or
light north of North Point. Eight vessels have
been in trouble there this year. The engineer
favors having a light on the government
breakwater rather than at North Point.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
During last month a total of 69,364,000 feet
of lumber arrived at the Tonawandas by ves-
sel. This is an increase of 10,000,000 feet over
the corresponding month of last season. Near-
ly every month this season has shown an in-
crease over the corresponding period of 1904.
Since the opening of navigation 392,806,465
feet of lumber have arrived by vessel, show-
ing an increase over the receipts of last sea-
son to Nov. 1, of 55,444,027 feet.
Advices from Port Elgin, Ontario, are to
the effect that the body of the unknown man,
probably a fireman, which came ashore there,
is described as follows: "No papers were
found on the body. There is a star in blue
on the back of the wrist of the right arm.
One leg has been broken at some time. Had
on light cotton underwear of blue color,
blue overalls and shirt of cotton. Age judged
to be between forty-five and fifty."
The shipments of grain from Chicago and
South Chicago for the month of October were
the smallest since April, when the movement
had hardly started, and the month's showing
really did not include more than two week's
business. The amount forwarded last month
was only 6,286,000 bushels, compared with
8,228,000 the previous month; 8,205,000 in
October, 1904; 19,543,000 the same month in
1903, and 7,075,000 in 1902.
The shipments of iron ore from the port of
Ashland have reached a total of 3,000,000 tons,
a record which has never been beaten in Ash-
land since 1902, when navigation opened near-
ly a month earlier than this year. Of the
amount, nearly 100,000 tons has been shipped
to Canadian ports. It is estimated that 4,-
000,000 tons will be shipped from Ashland
next season as the Northwestern interests in-
tend rebuilding No. 1 dock and may build
another one.
Shipments of ore from the Minnesota mines
in the month of October aggregated 2,817,486
tons against 2,534,292 tons in October last
year. Duluth shipped 1,108,598 tons, Two
Harbors 1,001,259 and Superior 707,629.
Shipments for the season to date amount to
19,519,711 tons, against 11,253,232 tons in the
same period last year. The experiment of us-
ing maple lined steel ore cars in cold weather
is being tried on the Missabe road and it is
working successfully, causing much less trou-
ble from freezing.
The small schooner Idler, while being sailed
from Chicago to Marinette, Wis., by its owner
and sole occupant, Capt. William Peterson,
aged seventy-four years, became stuck on a
sandbar north of Waukegan, in the darkness
and nearly went to pieces. When his small
eraft threatened to break up in the sea, Capt.
Peterson threw off his clothing and swam
ashore none the worse for his experience. The
Kenosha life saving crew tried to put the boat
off the beach, but found it too old to stand the
strain.
Negotiations that have been pending for
the sale of the steamer Arabia were completed
at Detroit recently when the Great Lakes En-
gineering works, by President A. C. Pessano,
disposed of the vessel to C. P. Upton, a weal-
thy Rochester (N. Y.) lumberman. The Ara-
bia is a package freighter, formerly owned by
the Western Transit Co. She was built at
Buffalo in 1873 and measures 1,395 tons. She
is 222 feet in length, 34 feet beam and 14 feet
depth. For the remainder of this season the
boat will be operated in the pulp wood trade.
During the winter material alterations, which
will include steel decks, will be made in the
craft at the Great Lakes Engineering works.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
A correspondent who signs himself "An F.
F. V." (First Families of Virginia) writes
to the New York Herald as follows:
"All true sailors are taughl when they first
go to sea never to burn up anything which
can be eaten by fishes or birds. Why, then,
do the battleships of our navy anchored in
Hampton Roads burn up all their slops and
swill, containing meat, bread and vegetables,
which would furnish food for the fishes in the
bay, for which we are thankful enough, and
the sea birds, which all sailor men cherish?"
The Herald does not answer the question.
The reason why the naval vessels anchored in
Hampton Roads do not dump their swill over-
board is simply because such an act would be
against the regulations of the port. These
vessels are all anchored off the bathing beaches
just inside of Old Point Comfort, one of the
most patronized seaside pleasure resorts on
the Atlantic Coast, as well as the residence of
a Large garrison of soldiers and marines, in-
cluding the families of many of the officers.
These facts are presumably known to "F. F.
V.", and though his heart appears to be all
right, the observation bump on his head is evi-
dently woefully undeveloped.
The new Give-masted schooner Helen J.
Seitz was launched at Camden, Me., on Octo-
ber 31st. She has been specially built for the
coastwise coal trade, has a carrying capacity
of 4,500 tons, and cost $130,000. A number
of other vessels of equal size, or larger, arc
at present under construction in the various
ship yards in Maine. Curiously enough the
maritime conditions in that erstwhile nursery
State of merchant seamen have changed in the
last thirty years to such an extent that these
new vessels are mainly dependenl for their
complements of crews on the surplus male
population of the Azores and the Cape de
Verde Islands. The boy of today who reads
Fenimore Cooper's sea novels will receive
about as accurate an impression of the sup-
posed characteristics and professional virtues
of latter-day New England seamen, as he will
of the true nature of the American Indian on
a Government reservation by reading the same
author's "Leather-stocking" series.
The struggle of the Russian people for a
constitutional government has moved several
"safe, sane and conservative"' newspapers to
remark that the great body of the Russian
people are not fitted Cor self-government. It
has evidently never occurred to any of these
highly superior organs of respectable mediocr-
ity that, the only way in which a people can fit
themselves for self-government is by practic-
ing it.
At the regular monthly meeting of the New
York Chamber of Commerce on the 2d inst.,
a resolution was passed asking Congress to en-
act a law to permit Chinese travelers and mer-
chants to enter the United States on the same
conditions as citizens of other foreign coun-
tries.
'Tis true, and 'tis a pity 'tis true, that the
most successful newspapers are those that con-
form themselves strictly to the well-known
psychological law that the public likes to be
humbugged.
Fag Ends.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall!
To dilate on trivial circumstances is the
failing of a trivial mind.
He who argues, and digresses much, often
Of his subject looses touch.
'Tis hardly worth the while to rhyme when
pri se would save both space and time.
In vain man strives for the millenial goal
while greed and selfish passions dim his soul.
The three desiderata in the "goods" line:
G I wages, good business and good govern-
ment.
There's many a man who fain would quit
race had he but some excuse to "save
his face."
It is one of the paradoxes of human society
that the law, the creation of the people, is
usually the chief means for subjugating and
enslaving its own creator.
The world is a sceptic by prejudice ruled,
a trader in humbug who likes to be fooled: a
breeder of discord and prater of peace, ex-
tolling achievements but worshiping ease.
Full many a man is born to live unknown
and waste his manhood struggling all alone,
foredoomed to failure in that curious strife
which ends with death what was begun with
life.
When men become sufficiently enlightened
to make sentiment and prejudice subservient
to reason, they will then be ready to graduate
from the kindergarten class of human exis-
tence into the next higher class.
The term "an honorable calling" as applied
to the callings of soldiers and sailors, has all
the mock heroic grandeur and pretty inanity
of that other venerable platitude, "the dignity
of labor."
[t's a wise editor who knows his public.
There is no longer any pressing need for
being born great, or for achieving greatness.
In these days of cheap and artistic advertising
any man with enough money, "tainted" or
otherwise, to pay the bills can have enough
greatness thrust upon him to make a Hall of
Fame lustre look like a five cent shine by com-
parison.
The suggestion by General Ainsworth that
the public aid the authorities to check deser-
tions from the army by ostracizing the desert-
ers shows a curious misapprehension of the
public mind in its relations to this subject.
So long as the conditions of army life in the
ranks are what they are the public Mill lie
much more inclined to ostracize the young man
who enlists in the army than the one who has
ambition enough to desert from it.
The Anchor Line has placed an order with
D. & W. Henderson & Co.. of Glasgow, for a
new steamer to be 1,000 tons larger than the
Caledonia, their largest vessel at present. The
new steamer is to be ready for service between
New York and Glasgow in February, 1907.

A. F. OF L. IN ANNUAL SESSION.
Synopsis of Officers' Reports.
A Reflex of the Labor Movement.
THE twenty-fifth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor met in the Old
City Hall at Pittsburg, Pa., on November 13.
During the first day 's session President Gompers sub-
mitted his report, which reads, in part, as follows :
In this great historic city, where in 1881 was laid
the groundwork of our great Federation, fellow dele-
gates and friends, representatives of the organized
workers of America, I bid you welcome. Turning
back our mental gaze to these years of work, and
pain, and travail, the hardships endured, the sacrifices
made, and the burdens borne, the advantage secured,
the proud position attained, despite the lukewarmness
of friends and the antagonism of foes, must cause us
the deepest gratification and the keenest pride.
It is not my purpose here to become reminiscent of
historic events in the labor movement of that day.
The fact of our meeting in great industrial Pittsburg
impelled me to recall what I have, for we are now in
the home of our friends and our fellow trade union-
ists. Their hearts now beat in unison, their hopes and
aspirations are one, with the great movement of the
workers of our entire continent, upon the broad plat-
form and under that benign banner of the American
Federation of Labor, our Federation whose watch-
word is "Onward and Upward," whose hope and
work are for humanity, whose incentive is labor omnia
vincit. As times goes on, more and more is expected
from the deliberations and results of our work ;
heavier and greater become the responsibilities which
rest upon us ; more and more do the toiling masses
look to you, yearning and praying that their hopes for
relief, for right, and for justice may be fully real-
ized. The labor movement represents in concrete form
the discontent of the masses of labor with the unjust
burdens they are compelled to bear; and though we
must all be more concerned in those who participate
with us in the duties and responsibilities of our move-
ment, as well as the advantages accruing from our as-
sociated effort, yet we dare not and do not fail to ap-
preciate our duty to our fellow-workers, even though
they manifest indifference to their own welfare and
the welfare of their fellows. To the American Fed-
eration of Labor is conceded the hegemony of the
American labor movement. We must prove true to our
trust, true to the confidence, the hope, and the good-
will reposed in us.
From October 1, 1904, to September 30, 1905, we
issued from the American Federation of Labor the
following charters:
International Unions 3
State Federations 1
Central Labor Unions 67
Local Trade and Federal Labor Unions 216
Total 287
Two of these international unions were organized
by us during the past year from formerly affiliated
chartered local unions. Several other international
unions became amalgamated with their kindred trades.
At the end of this fiscal year, September 30, 190.1,
there were affiliated to the American Federation of
Labor :
International Unions *118
State Federations 33
Central Labor Unions 599
Local Trade and Federal Labor Unions. 1046
Total 1796
*The 118 international unions consist of, approxi-
mately, 27,000 local unions of their respective trades
and callings.
My last report stated that "we sha'l no doubt be
confronted with the keenest opposition in the near
future. ' ' This prediction has been fully verified. De-
spite the more general understanding that the trade
union organization of the working people is essen-
tially necessary to them and is of general advantage
to all our people in the great work for the better-
ment of their material, moral and social condition,
yet we can not but deplore the fact that ignorant,
vicious and bitter antagonism has been leveled against
our humanizing movement by a number of so-called
employers ' associations and citizens ' alliances. These
men, for their own immediate and temporary greed of
gain, associate themselves in organization for the pur-
pose of depriving workmen of that right and benefit.
STATE AND CENTRAL BODIES.
In their respective localities our local central labor
unions, assemblies and federations are accomplishing
a vast amount of good in the interests of labor and
the people generally. These local central bodies are,
to their respective local jurisdictions, what our Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is to all America, a parlia-
ment of the wage-earners, where the needs of the hour
and the work and hopes of the morrow are recounted
and formulated; where the best methods are devised
for making the burdens of the toilers lighter, their
homes and lives better, and for the uplift of the com-
monwealth. And this is equally true of our State
Federations. Recognizing this fact, our constitution
makes it the duty of the officers of all international
unions to instruct their delegates to become attached
to chartered central labor bodies and state federations
where such exist. While this is very generally en-
forced, yet there are numerous causes for complaint
by both local and State bodies. In such instances,
compliance with the policy and the law should lie more
than a mere perfunctory performance. International
union officers should insist upon compliance, thus giv-
ing the opportunity to their respective local unions to
receive from and contribute toward the mutual advan-
tages that must necessarily accrue.
At the same time it may not be amiss to call atten-
tion that here and there a central body, by the pursuit
of a course wholly repugnant and foreign to the in-
terests, the policy, and the purposes of the trade union
movement, may shape its course to its own decimation.
In connection with this subject, it is recommended
that our local central labor bodies should adopt a, con-
stitutional provision specifically setting forth the lime
when adjournment of the meeting must take place,
and also that no Special meeting of the body 'shall be
held within twenty-four hours from the time of any
regular meeting. Such a provision would relieve them
of the complaint sometimes indulged in, whether justi-
ficdly or not, that meetings are sometimes prolonged
far beyond a seemly hour, when a. large number of
members or delegates are forced by circumstances to
leave the meeting room, and at which time, it is alleg-
ed, some of the most important legislation is trans
acted.
A provision of the character BUggested in the laws
of our central bodies would go far to remove such
cause of complaint, if it exists, ami in any event
would prove generally and wholly helpful and advan-
tageous.
DIRECTLY AFFILIATED LOCAL UNIONS.
The local trade unions and federal labor unions
directly affiliated have been given every attention and
assistance. As is known, they come directly under the
administration of our office, and, so far as their trade
disputes are concerned, they require the immediate
attention of your president. It is true that we have
not expended a large sum from our defense fund for
strikes and lockouts, but this is no indication of the
number of disputes and contentions which have
arisen, and which were approved and endorsed, thus
entitling the members to benefits from the defense
fund, but which have been averted and adjusted with-
out the necessity of strikes and yet the rights and in-
terests of the men fully safeguarded.
It is a fact worthy of statement and repetition that
the establishment of the defense fund and its avail-
ability to be concentrated at any given point to sus-
tain our men in the defense and promotion of their
rights and interests, has had a wholesome influence to
secure them, without the necessity of resort to a strike.
LABOR IN CANADA AND PORTO RICO.
Mr. Gompers referred at length to the condition of
the workers in Canada and Porto Rico. The labor
movement in Canada is constantly growing and be-
coming of a more satisfactory character.
Some improvement has come to a number of work-
men in Porto Rico, but in main the workers of that
Island are in an impoverished condition. President
Gompers recommends a continuance and, if possible,
an increase of the organizing work already under-
taken.
MOVEMENT EXTENDED.
On the continent of America our labor movement
is expanding and extending to all its beneficent in-
fluences. We have not only our international trade
unions, with their nearly twenty-seven thousand local
trade unions, but we also have our state, dominion,
insular and territorial federations, our Go 1 central
labor unions, trades assemblies and local federations.
Our limits are no longer from Maine to California,
from the Lakes to the Gulf, but we include the whole
of the United States, Canada, Hawaii, Cuba, Porto
Rico, Mexico, the Philippines and British Columbia.
11 is superfluous here to refer to the vast advantages
secured by our international unions for the members
of their respective crafts and callings — they have been
more than thrice told. They will bear telling again
and again, and it is strongly urged that our interna-
tional unions, as a further illustration of the greater
possibilities for good in the future by trade union
unity under the banner of international trade union-
ism, should gather the material and data so that they
may put their achievements before the World and dem-
onstrate to the indifferent and to the scoffers and the
unthinking, as well as to the friends, the vast good
already accomplished.
INDUSTRIAL STAGNATION A.VEBTED.
When we met in Boston two years ago the old-school
political economists and thinkers foresaw a cloud
threatening the industrial horizon, Basing their
premise upon existing conditions and the pursuit of
policies of the past, Hm\ foretold that an industrial
reaction, stagnation or crisis was then impending.
They assumed thai employers would he "compelled7'
to reduce wages, and advised labor to accept the sit-
uation and thus, as they urged, "help to tide OVBr the
unhappy period."
They who reasoned thus reckoned without their
hosts. They did not consider the advance position
which labor would take, 1 iii t ignored it as an equation
in the determination of their wage cutting policy.
Thej old not see that it would act as a check to pre-
vent the diminution of lal.or consuming power.
Recently one of the great magnates of high finance
in our country predicted that in a fen years from now
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
-we shall witness a financial and industrial panic un-
paralleled in the history of the United States. This
forecast was unquestionably predicated upon the
power which finance formerly wielded in industrial af-
fairs, and based upon the policy of the former omnip-
otent power of financiers, and greedy, short-sighted,
antagonistic employers, and entirely ignored the work-
ing men, the wealth producers, in their organized ca-
pacity, as a new and potent factor.
If the hosts of organized labor persistently pursue
the policy of resistance to wage cutting; if we shall
continue to press onward our movement to become con-
tinually larger sharers in the product of our labor; if
we but prove true to ourselves and to each other, we
shall continually gain the confidence, the respect anil
co-operation of the fairer-minded and more intelligent
employers, confound the old conceptions of political
economy, establish a new philosophy of life, labor, in-
dustry and humanity, put to rout the seers of calamity
and prove their predictions to be false prophesies.
LABOR. INDUSTRY, FINANCE.
Already it is discerned that finance has been largely
dethroned from its all-controlling power over labor
and industry. Up to a decade ago, if exposures had
been made as have been made in the recent past, of
peculation as well as speculation and of the corrupting
influences of "high finance," a financial panic,' in-
volving an industrial crisis and stagnation, with all its
attendent evils, would undoubtedly have been inevit-
able.
The time is happily passing when purely speculative
finance can hold the dominating power to endow or un-
do industry. With more compact organization of
labor, with more enlightened employers, finance is tak-
ing and will take its proper place and perform its
proper functions, that of serving the purpose of real
industry and trade, of being a real measure of value,
a medium of exchange. Thus the relative position of
importance is being transposed, and industry and com-
merce are coming to control and regulate finance.
It is labor and industry which create values, money
included. In finance, as in all things, the created
thing should never be greater than its creator. The
Frankenstein, the power of finance which the people in
the past created, has been given its proper limitations
and power, and with intelligence it will no longer
threaten death or destruction to those who gave it
the breath of life.
TRADE-UNION INSURANCE.
Again I feel it encumbent upon me to impress upon
the minds of trade unionists the necessity of making
the unions of greater benefit and advantage to work-
men, not only in the direct effort to maintain and ad-
vance their material condition in the matter of wages,
hours and conditions of employment, but also by pro-
viding a system of benefits for the membership and
protecting them in all their vicissitudes of life, and to
provide these, the necessity of establishing the pay-
ment of higher dues in the unions.
There is no good reason why our unions should not,
apart from their protective, trade and labor features,
become the guarantee to our members for the payment
of benefits by reason of illness, unemployment, loss
of tools, superannuation, traveling, death, etc., etc.
Surely, recent investigations have demonstrated be-
yond question how largely the wage-earners of our
country are mulcted by excessive premiums paid to so-
called insurance companies and societies. Our unions,
by their very economy of administration, by their ex-
perience, as well as by their mutual interests, do, and
can, give greater returns for dues paid than any other
institution on earth. As against the objection of
some who assert that these features are not the func-
tions of unions, is the answer that the functions of the
trade union movement in the interests of the work-
ing people are without limit.
As against the aspersions of opponents, we fearless-
ly assert, and can easily demonstrate, that, man for
man, or association for association, the officers and the
great rank and file in our movement, are as honorable,
high-minded, faithful and honest as any of our critics
or opponents, either in their individual or associated
life.
As against any notion that the accumulation of
large funds for the payment of benefits as well as for
protective features would prove temptations to dis-
honesty, the unions which have already established
these features manifestly disprove.
It may appear paradoxical, but it is nevertheless
true, that there has been less dishonesty or maladmin-
istration in unions having accumulated large funds
than in those in which large funds have been con-
spicuous by their absence.
Nor need we fear court decisions or suits at law
mulcting our organizations and endangering the secur-
ity of our funds, despite the flagrant decisions rend-
ered within the recent past. Substantial funds once
acumulated for provident as well as protective fea-
tures, will compel better and higher regard for their
sanctity by both the public and the bench. And if
perchance through perverse interpretation of existing
law the funds of a union may be attacked, as was
evidenced in the famous Taft-Vale decision of the
British courts, it would undoubtedly result in our
country as in Great Britain in so changing the laws as
to curtail the power of the judges to wantonly attach
the funds of organized labor.
The advocacy of the accumulation of funds, the es-
tablishment of benefit features, and the necessity of
higher dues in order to insure the payment of such
benefits, will, of course, lay us open again to the taunt
of trade union opponents that we establish "dues-pay-
ing" institutions; but the failure of any of our unions
to render every financial assistance requisite, and for
which the members in their organization have neither
paid nor contributed, is taken advantage of by these
self-same opponents, exaggerated, flung in our faces
as a taunt of trade-union ineffectiveness.
INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD.
Nor can we be indifferent to the movement and
the struggles of the peoples of all countries for justice
and for right. Throughout the world the leavening
process for the disenthrallment of man goes on. In
countries where the natural rights of man are respect
ed, we find the great trade union movement gradually
yet surely making for the economic, political and so-
cial uplift. In all the world there is an awakening
among men to assert and achieve the divine right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As coining
events cast their shadows before, so is that movement
the forerunner of the doom of tyranny and autocracy
in all forms.
The centuries of tyranny and debasement endured
in czar-ridden Russia are making way for a better
time. It is indeed a commentary which all trade union
opponents may take to themselves that when all else
failed to accomplish any tangible result for the peo-
ple 's rights, the much-abused, little-understood strike
— the strike of the Russian workmen — achieved in
short order, not only large material improvements in
their conditon, but political reform and regeneration.
Due to the bona fide labor movement of the world,
we are living in the time when there is disappearing,
and soon will be eliminated, the last vestige of that
type— "the man with the hoe" — and taking his place
is the intelligent worker, standing erect, looking his
fellow-man in the face, demanding for himself, and
acording to all, the full rights of disenthralled man
hood.
JURISDICTION DISPUTES.
The question of jurisdiction can not be said to have
been largely or effectively improved. True, many
questions of this character have been adjusted, cither
I'.v conference or by a more conciliatory policy being
pursued by representatives of organizations in inter-
est, and others again by arbitration and decisions reu
dend. It has been clearly shown that where modera-
tion and a conciliatory policy have obtained, it has not
been difficult to eliminate the cause of contention and
the organizations thereby to co-operate to their mutual
advantage. In the main, however, contentions have
not abated, nor have decisions been respected or com-
plied with. In view of the fact that the Executive
Council will report to you in detail on this subject,
and as I have extensively dealt with this question in
my reports to former conventions, it is unnecessary
in this report to dwell upon it at length.
It may not be amiss to call attention to a feature
in jurisdiction controversies which is so closely akin to
other phases of human life that it is an ill wind that
blows no good. None will dispute the fact that with
you I deeply deplore the jurisdiction controversies,
and particularly when they assume an acute and often
bitter antagonistic attitude; but that they have de-
veloped a high order of intelligence in discussion
among our unionists, keen perception in industrial jur-
isprudence, is a fact which all observers must admit.
That these acquirements and attainments will be of
vast advantage in the admiustration and judgment
of industrial affairs, no thinker dare gainsay.
One further comment and suggestion must neces-
sarly be stated, that hurtful in any way in which jur-
isdiction disputes may prove to the workmen of con-
tending organizations, we should and must do every-
thing within our power to prevent fair-minded em-
ployers, desirous of living in agreement with organiz-
ed labor, from being made the subject and scapegoat
of the hostility of either the one or the other of the
contending organizations.
It is true that here and there employers have en-
deavored to play one organization against another, and
I'.v pretended friendship refuse to deal with either.
By this piece of cupidity they Income a detriment
not only to organized labor, but to their competitors in
trade. But, in any event, the fair-minded employer
who desires to live in accord with organized labor
should not be compelled to suffer the consequences of
injury due to jurisdiction disputes between organiza-
tions, and so far as the other type of employer is con-
cerned, the opportunity should not be afforded him to
take advantage of such a dispute by which he can
shirk and place the blame upon any of our unions.
It is trade union law and policy that fair employers
desirous of living upon terms of amity with organized
labor should not be made to suffer from inter-trade
union disputes.
EIQHT-HOUB WORKDAY.
There is no field of action upon which if we con-
centrate our greatest activity, there will result so
great advantages to all, with the least possible injury
to any, as the movement, to reduce the hours of daily
labor, the establishment of a normal workday of eight
hours.
From the inception of our Federation, we have
voiced the demand for a shorter workday. In 1884 we
called upon and urged all labor to endeavor to estab-
lish the eight-hour workday, if possible, by agree-
ment with the employers. We have been helpful to
many crafts in establishing the eight-hour day; the
hours of toil for all have been reduced.
With the wonderful improvement in machinery and
the application of steam and electric power, our work-
ers are producing wealth surpassing even the imagina-
tion, much less the expectation, of a decade or two
ago.
Living in a land fertile and bountiful as ours, with
its ingenious and industrious people, there can not be
any good reason assigned why in our day the toilers
should be expected or required to give to labor more
than eight hours in a day.
I recommend that the general introduction of the
eight-hour workday be made the chief subject for gen-
eral discussion in our unions, central bodies, national
and international conventions; that employers be ap-
proached with a view of their agreement thereto, and
should that fail, that preparation in the meantime and
thereafter be made to enforce the eight-hour day by
the demand of the workers. It is our bounden duty
by every means within our power to be helpful to our
fellow-workers in its enforcement.
THE rM<>.\ LABEL.
The issuance of a label by our unions is at once a
declaration of our earnest desire to serve all our peo-
ple best, and a guarantee that the article it adorns is
the product of labor under the most sanitary and com-
paratively fairer conditions than otherwise obtained.
It is an appeal to the sympathy and the ™ operation
of our fellows to be helpful in the work for material,
moral and social improvement of all our people. In no
more tangible way can a sympathetic public render ef-
fective service to their brothers and sisters of toil
than by demanding the union label. There is no duty
which our fellow-workers, and particularly our fellow
unionists, should more cordially and consistently ad-
here to than the demand for the union label and the
union card. Because of the good it does and can do,
because of its effectiveness as a potent factor in our
life's work as individuals and in our organized capa-
city, we should, in our national conventions, interna-
tional unions, state, central and local bodies, propa-
gate the work of creating a healthier and more gen-
eral demand and insistence for the insignia ojC hon-
est, sanitary and fair conditions of labor, the union
label.
TRADE UNION SCHOOLS.
Education js regarded by all as the essential to pro-
gress and sucess, and this fact is equally applicable to
the trade union movement. Much as has been said and
done regarding the trade unions and the trade union
movement, .it is, nevertheless, true that here is not
wide or general a knowledge and understanding of the
history, the struggles, the methods and the work of our
movement as should be.
I would recommend that our central bodies estab-
lish in their respective localities trade union schools
where at least the elementary principles of the trade
union movement may be taught; where a correct un-
derstanding of trade union history, struggles and
achievements may be demonstrated and impressed up-
on students; where the conditions of the workers of
the past may be made known, ami what marvelous
changes and improvements have been gradually yet
effectively wrought in the life of labor, and where
may lie instilled the knowledge that only by associated
efforts, the honorable performance of duty, and by
constant application and persistency can labor work
out its salvation day by day in the natural develop-
ment and evolution toward a better life; that prog-
ress is made, not by leaps and jumps, but by the nat-
uaral, the national process of associated effort.
Coupled with such schools and as a part of their
instruction, the young boys and girls of our fellow-
workmen would have the opportunity of coming to an
understanding of the ennobling work ami aspirations
to which their elders are devoting their energies.
With the establishment of trade union schools, leaf-
lets, cards, tracts, elementary in their character, and
books for advanced classes, could lie prepared and is-
sued from the office of the American Federation of
Labor and furnished at cost.
CHINESE EXCLUSION FROM ALL AMERICA.
Perhaps one of the most momentous questions which
will confront the American people, and of which this
convention must take cognizance and deal with earn-
tstly, intelligently and emphatically, is the campaign
inaugurated in several quarters for what is called a
modification of the law excluding Chinese from entry
into the United States or its possessions. Within
the past year manifest efforts have been made in this
direction, particularly inaugurated and stimulated by
antagonistic employers and some of their associations.
Information of an authentic character and from
various sources has been communicated to our offices
showing that a carefully devised policy has been
agreed upon and is being carried out. Labor antagon-
ists realize the fact that American public opinion and
sentiment are fuly expressed in the existing Chinese
exclusion law. They also realize that if the applica-
tion of the law was sought to be modified so far as it
applies to our mainland, it would arouse the opposi-
tion of the American people, and the effort is there-
fore subtly screened by arrangement with the sugar
planters of Hawaii, placing them in the position of
agitating for a modification of the law so as to per-
il it the immigration of Chinese to that island.
It is seldom that a bold front attack is made in any
effort of human activity, and our opponents, through
the pretense of the necessity for Chinese laborers to
work upon the sugar plantations of Hawaii, entertain
the belief that once the law is successfully attacked by
so-called modification its entire structure may be elim-
inated.
An agitation involving the expenditure of vast sums
of money has been set on foot by the sugar planters
of Hawaii, to which our antagonists on the mainland
have largely contributed, all for the purpose of im-
pressing the people of the United States, and particu-
larly the members of Congerss, with the supposed ne-
cessity for a change in the law so as to allow the im-
migration of Chinese to the Sandwich Islands. Not
a fraction of money has been contributed or expended
by the Government of Hawaii toward the immense
amounts that have been and are involved in the ap-
pointment of commissions, delgations, in printing re-
ports and other matter involved in the propagation
of thought favorable to Chinese immigration. In
their desperation, the sugar planters have endeavored
even to suborn some representatives of labor.
There can be no question but that Japanese immi-
gration into Hawaii has had a most baneful influence
mil result; but it is a queer notion that will seek re-
lief from the evils resulting from Japanese immigra-
tion and work by turning to the Chinese, and it shows
a perverted conception of real economy, justice and
Americanism.
The information also reaches us that, in carrying
out our opponents' policy, the sugar planters have sent

"Times" on Exclusion.
The New York Times, one of the organs of
the anti-union forces in the United States,
thunders its editorial anathemas against
everything that organized labor stands for
with the regularity of a gramophone with a
clockwork attachment. Of course, the pro-
gramme is varied both in form and sub-
stance— particularly in form — so as to conceal
the fact that there is a programme ; but every
once in so often the esteemed "Thunderer" is
certain to let out a roar about our unjust treat-
ment of Chinamen, and winding it all up with
blaming the miserable trade-unions for the
whole trouble. Some of its latest views on the
Chinese Exclusion question, as it appears to
Secretary Taft and others of his persuasion,
are as follows :
Since only coolies are to be shut out, it stands to
reason that merchants, tourists, and students should
be admitted, and it equally stands to reason that we
should accept as conclusive the certificates of our own
officials in China as to the status of the men seeking
admission. Those officials are in a much better posi-
tion to know the facts than the immigration officials
in this country possibly can be. Our Government can-
not question the certificates thus given except on the
ground that its own appointed agents in China have
been neglectful or corrupt, and it is estopped from
any such plea. The treatment of applicants for ad-
mission that in the past has been tolerated is, accord-
ing to the evidence in the hands of our Government,
disgraceful, and it cannot too soon be improved.
Largely this lies within the power of the Executive,
but not wholly, since the exclusion laws are unneces-
sarily harsh and even brutal. The President will do
what he can, and it is to be hoped that Congress will
modify the law. It will do so, unless it be governed
too much by the sand-lot temper of the trade-unions.
The fling about "the sandlot temper of the
trade-unions'" is quite in keeping with the
sand-lot manners of the New York Times, in
whose editorial vocabulary labor leaders figure
as "dead beats," and the members of Con-
gress from the Pacific Coast who oppose any
more "modifications" of the Chinese Exclus-
ion act are listed as "demagogues," and their
constituents as "hoodlums". As for its as-
sumptions that we must accept as conclusive
the certificates issued to Chinese travelers by
our officials in that country, because we have
appointed those officials and are therefore
estopped from thinking them neglectful or
corrupt, it can only be said that while there
is a good theoretical warrant for it, it has but
a meagre basis in fact. But, leaving the ques-
tion of neglectfulness and corruptness out of
the discussion, it must be evident that in a
country with such peculiar institutions and
customs as those which obtain in China,
where Caucasian residents all dwell in "col-
onies", it is a physical impossibility for our
consular officials to get at all the facts con-
cerning intending travelers. It would be an
impossible task even in any one of the most
highly civilized countries in Europe. In
China it is well known that our consuls must
perforce rely upon the- local native officials
for such information as our laws require them
to gather about Chinese citizens desiring to
visit the United States. Even if we are estopp-
ed from pleading that our own officials in
China are neglectful and corrupt, there is no
such obligation incurred in the case of the
Chinese officials. We are morally sure that
our own public officials are probably not above
suspicion in all cases, but in comparison with
Chinese officials their official morality shines
with the polished whiteness of a hound's
tooth. All this talk about making the certifi-
cates of our officials in China "conclusive" is
therefore absurd, for as a matter of fact our
consuls know no more about the antecedents
of the Chinamen to whom they issue certifi-
cates then they have been told by the native
official who accompanied the applicant. And
it is the knowledge of these facts which com-
pels our home officials to be constantly on
guard against Chinese immigrant frauds.
National Corruption.
Governor Hoch of Kansas, at a recent din-
ner to Senator- Warner of Missouri; is report-
ed in the press to have spoken as follows:
I want to say to you, not as an alarmist, but as a
slight contributor to the American awakening, that
unless we find some effectual remedy for the control of
the great trusts and corporations in the interests of
all the people, a tidal wave of Socialism will sweep over
the country one of these days, that will do incalculable
damage.
The New York World says of this:
Governor Hoch is not exaggerating the facts. They
are so plain that no human being of ordinary intel-
ligence should mistake their meaning. A great wave
of discontent is sweeping over the country, which is
manifesting itself in the form of Socialistic remedies
for political and economic evils. The great corpora-
tions are largely responsible for the radicalism that is
rampant everywhere.
Yes, and "the great corporations" know as
well as any one that the social revolution is
brewing apace thanks to their contempt for
the laws and the people's rights. And, know-
ing this, they are preparing to meet the issue
by having the standing army increased to
250,000 men, and by flooding the country with
Mongolians. "The great corporations" know
that no matter how many Caucasian immi-
grants may arrive here it will not materially
affect the homogenity of the race, but if the
people should some day insist on having a real
government of the people, for the people, and
by the people, there is probably no more ef-
fective way to defeat their will than by the
bayonets of a large standing army and the
race hatred of several millions of unassimil-
able Mongolians. What the personnel of our
standing army will be like may be inferred
from the fact that the will of the people in the
recent election in New York City was defeated
by 5000 thugs armed with bludgeons, black-
jacks and brass-knuckles, employed by Tam-
many Hall and paid with money supplied by
"the great corporations". Army life in the
ranks has now become so disreputable in the
estimation of the average citizen that no self-
respecting man cares to enlist, but it is a
foregone conclusion that when "the great cor-
porations" need the army to cowc the people
they will get all the thugs and cutthroats they
want to enlist up to the full limit established
by law. This is a subject that is of the great-
est concern to workingmen, as well as the des-
perate attempts by "the great corporations"
to make this a mongrel, checkerboard nation.
After the recent activity of Philadelphia in
the political boss-smashing line, the joke
smiths and funny papers will have to east
around for something else to symbolize in the
mind all that is typical of the cant word
"slow." And to think of it ! Why, it used to
be the fashion to say of a fellow whose dila-
torness seemed to call for some special rebuke
that "he was too slow to drive the hearse at a
Quaker funeral."

Another Age Limit.
The New York Board of Commissioners of
Harbor Pilots recently promulgated a regula-
tion providing that hereafter all pilots shall
be arbitrarily retired when they reach the age
of sixty-five years. The pilots are greatly
aroused over this move, and propose to fight
it through their national association. They
claim that if this regulation is enforced, a
dozen or more of their most experienced mem-
bers will be thrown out of employment and
left dependent upon the charity of the young-
er pilots, in spite of the fact that so far as
physical examinations can determine, the
pilots who will be retired are in full possession
of their powers and faculties. A year ago an
age limit of seventy years was set, but only
two pilots were affected by that ruling, and
so no protest was made by the others. If the
limit is now reduced to sixty-five, twelve or
thirteen pilots will have to be retired at once,
with many more to follow within a few years.
Retired members of the Pilots' Association are
now receiving pensions amounting to $75 a
month, but as only three members are on the
pension list the burden is not felt to any con-
siderable extent by the active members of the
Association. With a dozen more added to the
pension list, however, the earnings of the act-
ive members would be materially reduced, the
more so as there are only ninety men engaged
in pilotage in New York Harbor. Most of
them are comparatively young men, but fully
a quarter are more than fifty years old. For
the last ten years they have been shareholders
in a co-operative concern which owns two
steamers and three sailing pilot boats, and
their earnings average about $200 a month,
less what has to be paid to the pension fund.
The Commissioners base their action on
what has been done by railroads, ferries and
other transportation companies in determin-
ing a certain age limit beyond, which it is not
deemed safe to intrust men with the care of
lives and property. Owing to the objections
raised by the pilots, however, the Board has
decided to take no definite action in the matter
until a conference has been held with a com-
mittee of the pilots which has been appointed
for that purpose. The general impression is
that the age limit will be lowered below sev-
enty— probably to sixty-seven and a half. The
incident is one of those unpleasant reminders
of how little our civilization does to make com-
fortable the old age of those who have worn
themselves out in following an honorable call-
ing.
During the last two mouths there have been
several individual strikes in various parts of
Greater New York by the organized teamsters
against the "Open Shop". In every instance
the teamsters were victorious, although at one
time a general strike was all but precipitated
by the stupid obstinacy of an old-fashioned
firm which insisted on the ridiculous "right''
to run its own business to suit itself, regard-
less of the welfare of its employes. It is now-
said that in all the length and width of Great-
er New York there is not a single "Open
Shop" within the teamster's purview.

The whaling bark Charles W. Morgan, formerly
making San Francisco her home port, is said to
have gone to the South Atlantic the present season,
on the way to New Bedford, Mass., which will here-
after be her home port.
An unusual phenomenon was seen on November 18
in Nanaimo, B. O, harbor, when shoals representing
tons of herring crowded ashore seeking shelter from a
school of whales blowing like porpoises behind them.
In a few minutes the entire harbor swarmed with her-
ring, and tons were dying on the beach.
A London telegram reported that the big steam-
er Dakota, of the Hill line, was twice afire at
Kobe. The first fire was extinguished, but later
another fire broke out, and 5000 bales of matting
were more or less damaged. This freight was be-
ing discharged as rapidly as possible.
The Army transport Thomas sailed from Ma-
nila for San Francisco on November 15 carrying the
following troops and passengers: Seventh Infan-
try, COO men; Company E, signal corps, thirty-
four men; fifty-seven casuals, thirty-one sick pa-
tients, five insane and thirty-three prisoners.
Disaster has overtaken the German bark Paul
Isenberg, bound from London for Honolulu. A
telegram received reports that the vessel had put
into Stanley, Falkland Islands, on October 30, with
the loss of sails, with the decks leaking, her upper
works damaged and stern stove, presumably by-
rough weather, in the South Atlantic.
With a light catch of only 1000 pounds of bone
and 250 barrels of oil, the whaling bark Andrew
Hicks, Captain Scullen, arrived at San Francisco
on November 15 from the Okhotsk Sea. She
was in desperate straits during the past few weeks
on account of bad weather, but, after the fashion
of the old whaling barks, came through safe and
sound.
What wind and wave failed to accomplish in the de-
struction of the steamer St. Paul, which stranded on
Point Gorda rocks early in October, was encompassed
on November 10 by fire, and what remains is but a
charred and blackened hulk. When the steamer Pasa-
dena passed the St. Paul she was a seething mass of
flames. It is said that the fire has entirely destroyed
the St. Paul.
Claims aggregating $45,000 for salvage in the
case of the French collier Ernest Reyer, which was
pulled off the reef near Diamond Head, Honolulu,
on October 27, have been filed with Hind, Rolph
& Co., charterers of the wrecked vessel. The
amounts demanded for the work of their boats by
the three companies are as follows: The Fearless,
$20,000; Inter-Island Co., $20,000, and Captain
Miller of the steamer Lebau, $5000.
An aftermath of the wreck of the Pacific Coast
steamship Gipsy, which was lost near Pacific
Grove recently, "cropped up at Salinas, Cal., when
the Delaval Dairy Company of San Francisco filed
an action against M. B. Steadman of Monterey in
the Superior Court for $1368 for goods shipped
on the Gipsy and lost. The question arises who
must stand the loss — the consignor, consignee or
steamship company?
Collector of Customs Newberry at Victoria, B. C,
has canceled the Mexican register of the notorious
sealer Acapulco, formerly the Carmencita, at the re-
quest of the Mexican Consul at San Francisco. It
wa3 shown that the register was secured by fraud at
San Francisco, upon the representation that the ves-
sel was owned by Jose Sanchez, a Mexican, living at
Victoria, and built for him by Robert Millins of
Victoria. Investigation has shown there are no such
individuals.
The steamer Centennial is reported as having
arrived at Vladivostok. She sailed from San Fran-
cisco several months ago by way of Unalaska, and
was for weeks believed to have been lost or cap-
tured, and after a long period of anxiety was re-
ported to have been taken by the Japanese. Only
a few weeks ago, after the close of the war, the
Centennial was released, and she proceeded to her
destination, presumably with her cargo of salt and
merchandise intact.
The United States refrigerator ship Supply, Lieu-
tenant-Commander J. J. Knapp commanding, left
Mare Island on her 14,000-mile trip to the Atlantic
seaboard on November 16. The ship has such a large
coal capacity that she will make only two stops, one
at Callao and the other Montevideo. The Supply,
which will be the tender to Admiral Evans' battleship
squadron in the winter maneuvers, will take East a
number of old cannon which are trophies of our war
with Spain, considerable modern ordnance and 18,000
pounds of fresh meat.
The Navy Department has authorized some $300 tor
extra repairs to the cruiser Marblehead to repair the
damage which she received when the Celtic crashed
into her recently. Repairs on the monitor Wyoming
at the yard will be started immediately. The Navy
Department has already authorized a sum reaching in
the neighborhood of $110,000 to be spent on her The
turret which has caused so much trouble on board
that ship will be repaired. It will take $60,000 to do
that job alone. Much needed repairs will also be done
on the ship at the yard, $50,000 being appropriated
for that purpose.
While the Nome season for 1906 will not open
before six months, transportation men are already
making their plans for another year. L. H. Gray
of Seattle, Wash., has announced that he expect-
ed to operate two large steam-schooners m the
Behring Sea trade next year. The vessels w ill be
selected from the fleet now running between 1 uget
Sound and California ports. The vessels will
carry lumber and merchandise. The Northwestern
Steamship Company has purchased the steamship
Pennsylvania for the Nome trade, and other com-
panies are figuring on procuring new vessels.
Captain A. Thompson, formerly of the steam-
ship F. A. Kilburn, which was stranded at Coos
Bay September 6, has protested to Supervising In-
spector Bermingham . against the sentence imposed
upon him by Local Inspectors Bolles and Bulger,
who suspended his master 's license for six months.
The basis of Thompson 's protest is the fact that
Captain Zaddart, whose ship, the Santa Barbara,
went ashore at Gualala recently, had his license
suspended for only three months. He points out
also that the loss incurred through the stranding
of the F. A. Kilburn was not nearly so great as
that incurred when the Santa Barbara went
ashore.
A contract has been awarded for the building of an-
other ferry-boat for the Key Route line, making the
second within the past month. Both boats are to bo
duplicates of the San Francisco, the fastest on the
bay, and both are to be built by James Dickie. The
engines are to be built and installed by the Union Iron
Works and the boats are to be hurried to completion.
When these boats are ready for service the Key Route
will be able to give a 15-minute service. It is ru-
mored that the Yerba Buena and San Jose will, upon
completion of the new and faster boats, be placed up-
on the route connecting San Francisco with the Santa
Rosa and Petaluma electric railroad.
Following is the reinsurance list as posted at San
Francisco on November 20 : German bark Suzanna,
163 days from Port Talbot for Caleta Buena, 70 per
cent. French bark McMahon, 185 days from Swansea
for San Francisco, 15 per cent. French bark St. Dona-
tien, 178 days from Bordeaux for Adelaide, 90 per
cent. British ship M. E. Watson, 167 days from Car-
diff for Antofagasta, 70 per cent. British bark River
Indus, 140 days from Port Talbot for Iquique, 30 per
cent. British ship Eskasona, 183 days from Antwerp
for Oregon, 8 per cent. British ship Travancore, 77
days from Hongkong for Puget Sound, 10 per cent.
Italian bark Giusseppi d 'Abundo, 163 days from New-
castle, Australia, for Valparaiso, 15 per cent.
It is reported that the tugboat Champion has
left Newcastle; Australia, for Suva, in the Fiji
group, to tow the French bark Beaumanoir to Syd-
ney, a distance of 1720 miles — one of the longest
on record. The Beaumanoir was taken into Suva
on October 9 by the steamer Moura, which came
upon her 250 miles off that port. The bark had
previously encountered a hurricane on September
16, 400 miles north of New Zealand, and went on
her beam ends, losing almost all her upper works
and being compelled to resort to a jury rig. But
this was not sufficient to keep her on her course,
and she was drifting to the eastward when the
Moura fortunately came into view and took her in
tow.
The British steamer Dumbarton, under charter to
the Barneson-Hibbard Company of San Francisco, is
ashore in the gulf of Tartary, on the Asiatic Coast,
twenty-six miles north of Castries Bay. A telegram
received reported that the vessel was leaking, with her
forehold full of water. Assistance was needed, but
there was no indication in the dispatches that help was
available. The authorities ashore, it was stated, will
give every assistance possible, but they cannot arrange
as to salvage. The same telegram states that the
Amur river is closed to navigation. The steamer
Dumbarton left San Francisco on 'September 25 for
Nicolaefsk, on the Siberian Coast, not far from the
northern end of Saghalien Island, carrying a valuable
cargo.

an agent to visit various countries for the ostensible
purpose of securing immigrants to work on the
Hawaiian plantations. The word "ostensible" is used
advisedly, for the instructions are given that few, if
any, laborers are to be so secured, so that the claim
may be made that no workmen can be obtained from
either the United States or Europe, thereby making
it appear that the only recourse is to the Chinese. A
pari of the plan of action is to maintain at the cap-
itol in Washington a lobby coming from Hawaii for
that purpose.
That there is no dearth of workmen in Hawaii is
plainly evident from the figures contained in the cen-
sus reports and from enumerations of the population
made. The difficulty which presents itself is the fact
that the sugar planters, when deprived by law from
securing Chinese laborers, turned their attention to tin-
Japanese and imported them by shiploads. These
are now found to be undesirable and destructive to
the interests of labor, business as well as the social
well-being of Hawaii, its natives and residents. No
serious, honest effort has thus far been made to Cau-
casianize, to Americanize, Hawaii.
If Hawaii is to remain American, and there are
few who now doubt that this is to be for at least
some long period of time, then it must become Ameri-
can indeed, sharing in whatever progress and civiliza-
tion are enjoyed by our people on the mainland, as
well as bearing whatever burdens may thereby be en-
tailed in the process of the attainment of a higher,
our common, goal.
To-day the great preponderance of Hawaiian inhab-
itants is .Japanese and Chinese, a small number of
Europeans, with a small minority of Americans.
With its position in the Pacific Ocean, it is the outpost
to our American continent. In its economic and po-
litical aspects it must be made the barrier to Mon-
golian deterioration of the people of the island itself
as well as the barrier to protect America 's workers.
America's people, and America's civilization.
Another feature of the plan of campaign of our op-
ponents is to make it appear that the Chinese are dis-
criminating against the American products by a so-
called boycott. That this scheme was disingenuously
devised between the agents of labor 's opponents here
and a former representative of the Chinese Govern-
mnt to this country and who is now in his own, for
the effect it might have in influencing the judgment
of our people and Congress, is now generally recog-
nized by the well informed.
The recent announcement in China that ' ' the boy-
cott will be suspended until after the American Con-
gress shall have had an opportunity to make the re-
quired changes in and modification to the Chinese ex-
clusion law, ' ' clearly proves that the so-called boy-
cott was declared by a few and existed in their minds
alone and had no foundation in fact or enforcement,
and was intended to be used as a threatening bugaboo
for the weak-minded who may be led to believe that
our trade with China would be injured or destroyed
unless the United tSates does the joint bidding of our
antagonistic employers, the Chinese Six Companies of
the United States, and Wu Ting Fang, the Celestial
artful dodger.
We all want the fullest and freest opportunity of
trade with China, but it ought not and must not be
either secured or maintained at the cost of the protec-
tion and safety of American life and American stan-
dard of civilization.
Immigration officers, having learned from experi-
ence the various devices resorted to by Chinese unlaw-
fully coming to the United States, have been compelled
to suspect many Chinese laborers who pretended to be
merchants, students and those traveling for pleasure
or information. And their suspicions have generally
been verified. It is because of the well-known decep
tion practiced and detected, that it is not difficult to
appreciate the fact that a faithful American official,
zealous in the performance of his duty, may have
erred in suspecting and apprehending some one here
and there of the accepted classes. That instances of
this character have been exceptional, is admitted by
all; that a flagrant case of this character occurred, is
unquestionably true. That it is the duty of our Con
eminent to prevent its repetition, is fully admit ted.
It was because of a case of this character having oc-
curred that t he President issued his order last June
through the Secretary of Stato by which immigration
officers are required to accept the vised certificates
by their prima facie declaration that the Chinese com-
ing to the United States may be admitted.
At this late day it is scarcely necessary or profit
able to present the reasons for Chinese exclusion.
Snrciy, they are not appropriate here; but we can not
stand idly by and without protest permit the machina-
tions of some who, lost to all conscious responsibility
to their fellows and for an apparent immediate greed
of gain, scheme to inaugurate a vicious policy which
would inevitably lead to the deterioration of our race,
undermine our civilization and destroy our very lives.
We make no pretense that the exclusion of Chinese
can be defended upon :i high Ideal, ethical ground,
but we insist hat it is our essentia] duty to maintain
and preserve our physical condition and standard of
life and civilization, and thus to assure us the oppor-
tunity for the development of our intellectual and
moral character. Self-preservation has always been
regarded as the first law of nature. It is a principle
and a necessity from which we ought not and must
not depart .
Surely, America's workmen have enough to contend
with, have sufficient obstacles confronting them in'
their struggle to maintain themselves in their human-
izing movement for a higher and a better life, with-

OPFICEKS MADE TO ORDER.
That old, old question why don't American
boys go to sea is about to be supplemented
with another query. Some of our greal edi-
tors have become indignant about the
alleged carelessness and ignorance dis-
played by navigators who are running
ships ashore. Hence the wise men have
propounded the question: "Where shall
American ships find officers?" To the average
person it will appear that this new question
will solve itself when the original problem is
disposed of. But the shrewd men who keep
tab on maritime affairs from the top stories
of the tall buildings occupied by our great
newspapers have an entirely different notion
of the subject. One of these thinkers makes
the startling assertion that "maritime traffic
has gone a good ways beyond the time when
the cabin boy could work his way up to be
captain." This will no doubt remind many
of the Journal's readers about the officer of
whom it is said that he crawled into the cab-
in through the window; in other words the
officer who did not serve his time before the
mast. No sailor needs opera glasses to tell
whether his superiors entered the cabin
through the door or the window, i. e., whether
they hold their position by virtue of ability
and experience or because of "pull" and in-
fluence with shipowners. However, the au-
thority which has arrived at the conclu-
sion that the "cabin boy can no longer
work his way up to be captain" has
given us his idea of making officers and
captains. It is in the main an endorsement
of the plan outlined in the communica-
tion from Captain Taylor, published in a
recent issue of the Journal. Captain Tay-
lor proposes the establishment of a schoolship
for American boys desiring to become seamen,
with the ultimate object of becoming mates
and masters. Under existing conditions our
correspondent's proposal is worthy of consid-
eration. The better way would be to train
boys desirous of becoming seamen on the mer-
chant vessels of the country as in the days
gone by when American ships were the most
numerous and the stars and stripes waved in
every seaport of the globe. But to-day com-
paratively few of the few American ships
afloat carry boys. American ships do not
carry a single man or boy in addition to
those absolutely needed to manage the ves-
sel. Every man is required to do a man's
work and whenever a patriotic owner or
master decides to carry an American hoy
it is usually done to save a mans wages
by substituting the boy for a man. As a re-
sult each of the crew must perform a share
of the man's work who was displaced by the
boy while the owner pockets the difference in
wages. To this kind of patriotism seamen
have always objected and will continue to ob-
ject regardless of any false cry raised by cer-
tain interested parties. The establishment of
sehoolships, while good enough as a measure
to train boys to become efficient seamen and
eventually officers and masters, will not solve
the old problem — it Will not make the Ameri-
can boy seek the sea to earn a livelihood. It is
not generally known that San Francisco lias
already had a trial of a schoolship for mer-
chant seamen. Records show that the Ja s-
town was abolished in 1879, after a three
years trial at a cost of $95,000. The commit-
tee which investigated the standing of the
Jamestown and recommended its abolishment
as a schoolship gave as the chief reason for its
decision that "the good accomplished was not
commensurate with the cost of its mainten-
ance"; also that the people evidently "lacked
inclination to have their boys trained as sea-
men." The findings of the committee, partic-
ularly the part dealing with the disinclination
of parents to have their boys trained as sea-
men, explains the situation in a nutshell.
Under present conditions sehoolships will
make it easier for boys to learn the rudiments
of seamenship, etc., but they will not change
the "lack of inclination."
The rehabilitation of the personnel of our
merchant marine — and incidently of the navy
— will commence when the seamen's calling is
made sufficiently attractive. When the wages
of American seamen are sufficient to sup-
port a home and family. When the Chi-
nese are excluded from American ships as
well as from shore. When Congress enacts
laws providing for a manning scale and a
standard of efficiency. When American sea-
men receive better food, better treatment and
better accommodations, at least equally as
good as enjoyed by the workers ashore, then
American men and boys will be only too
anxious to go back to a life on the ocean
wave and American boys will again be
trained on American ships. When that happy
day arrives there will be no need for special
ships to train seamen and officers for more
than enough of either will be trained in the
good old-fashioned way.
THE SITUATION AT NOME.
Talk about luck! The Oceanic liner Ala-
meda, which was thought to be a total loss
when she stranded in the Golden Gate, and
which, when floated, was thought to have suf-
fered damages to the extent of $60,000, will
be fixed up as good as new for $30,000. Inci-
dents of this kind are well calculated to jus-
tify the sailors' superstition that a ship which
is well built in the beginning will stand a lot
of hard usage in the end.
Help your sisters in the garment-working
trades in their struggle against Chinese and
sweatshop products by demanding the label
of the Garment Workers' Union when pur-
chasing shirts, overalls, ready-made suits, etc.
The large transportation companies who
rule with an iron hand at Nome, Alaska, have
again made every effort, during the season
just closed, to reduce wages and disrupt or-
ganized labor of Nome and vicinity. While
the Union Busters of the far North did not
accomplish the desired result, they did suc-
ceed in convicting several members of the
Federal Labor Union by trumped-up charges
of rioting. It is reported, however, that their
cases will be appealed to the highest court
in the country and it is confidently expected
that an exposure of the somewhat remarkable
judicial methods in vogue at Nome will result
in a change for the better. The great majority
of members of the Federal Labor Onion of
Nome are employed by the iighteragi i-
panies, and as none but experienced men with
more than ordinary powers of physical endu-
rance are capable of performing the work of
discharging vessels at Nome, the men have
been able to maintain Union conditions. Many
members of the Federal Labor Union are
staunch old members of the Sailors' Union of
the Pacific, and as such they have in the past
fought the battles of the organized seamen of
the Pacific Coast. In their struggle against
the greedy corporations at Nome, the lighter-
men have always had the moral support of
the Sailors' Union and will, if required in the
future, receive every possible assistance not
only from the crews of vessels running to
Nome, but by all organized labor of the Pa-
cific Coast States.
The time has passed when union men could
be intimidated by sending one or more of
their number to jail by convictions secured
through the hired testimony of perjurers.
Organized labor at Nome has come to stay
and the annual assaults upon it by the little
Czars of the Alaska transportation companies
will only help to strengthen the bond of sym-
pathy and the fraternal relations existing be-
tween the toilers of Alaska and all America.
It is reported that the multi-millionaires
who have grown wealthy through the protec-
tion given to such infant industries as the
Beef-Trust and the Steel-Trust, are lining up
for one more desperate attempt to have Con-
gress enact a ship subsidy bill. The subsidy
steal would have been enacted years ago had
not the big and the little millionaire quar-
reled about the division of the spoils. If these
gentlemen have at last reached an agreement,
it is very likely that Congress will open the
vaults of the treasury and invite our so-called
"shipping interests" to help themselves.
"Free Trade Plus Chinese Labor," is the way one
Manila paper heads an editorial in which it tells the
Taft party what's wanted. — Honolulu (H. T.) Even-
ing Bulletin.
The Taft party has doubtless received a
great deal of information in the Philippines
on the lines suggested by the foregoing. But
the information that will count for most in
the end will emanate from the United States,
and that will be information of a tenor de-
cidedly different from the pro-Chinese views
expressed by the exploiters in "our island
possessions."
Hereafter all cabin passengers are to be
examined at quarantine as rigidly as their
less fortunate brethren who are compelled to
travel steerage. Evidently the authorities
have just discovered that disease germs are
not averse to traveling first -class.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
While Norway is preparing to place a King
upon his throne, it is very evident that a grow-
ing democratic sentiment exists in that coun-
try. The motion made in the Storthing
recently to submit a referendum to the
people to decide whether the government
of Norway shall be monarchical or dem-
ocratic, was rejected by a vote of 89 to
30. The fact that thirty members of the
Storthing were in favor of submitting the
question to a vote is certainly significant,
nevertheless, Norway will continue probably
for years to come to adhere to its traditional
form of government, considering the large
popular vote cast in favor of accepting Prince
Charles of Denmark as King of Norway.
The Launch Boatmen's Union of San Fran-
cisco, an organization composed of men who
operate launches on the bay of San Francisco,
has returned its charter to the headquarters
of the longname (I. L., M. & T. A.) Union.
The members of the Launch Boatmen's Union
were not aware of the fact that their per cap-
ita tax was being paid in support of an or-
ganization which is masquerading under false
colors. No doubt there are others who will
follow suit when they become aware of the
true state of affairs.
A call has been issued for the sixth annual
convention of the California State Federation
of Labor, to be held at Oakland, on January
1, 1906. The convention promises to be an
event in the history of organized labor of
California. Questions of importance to the
movement in the State will be dealt with. All
affiliated unions should be represented.
The coming convention of the International
Seamen's Union of America, at Cleveland, O..
will be the largest gathering of seamen's rep-
resentatives in the history of the organiza-
tion. Cleveland is preparing to give a royal
reception to the fresh and salt-water mariners
who will arrive in that city on December 4.
The extract from the report of President
Gompers, published in this issue, is worthy
of a careful perusal. Owing to the great
length of the entire report only the salient
features are reprinted; particular attention
is called to that part of the report dealing
with the question of jurisdiction disputes.
More Harmony Needed.
While questions of wages and hours of la-
bor appear to be easy of settlement there are
still to be approached grave and delicate prob-
lems growing out of an ever increasing de-
mand for the adoption of the manning scale,
for the benefit of the seamen and the safety
of the traveling public and the vessel. The
shipowner looks for the passage of an act for
the advancemient of the Mercantile Marine
either by a direct subsidy, or by discriminat-
ing duties. The Naval authorities look to both
the seaman and the merchant to furnish the
"food for powder" to be sacrificed at the al-
tar of Moloch.
These questions require the most careful,
cool, wise and conscientious consideration.
The seamen and shipowners must work "hand
in hand," the "lamb" must feel safe to "lay
down with the lion," we must cherish the
"goose that the lays the golden egg," the
"crimp" and the "bucko" must be relegat-
ed to the "fiddler's green," all issues likely
to create discord must be eliminated, and the
ways and means discussed in a business-like
manner.
The weakness of the United States is in
the constantly diminishing number of its sea-
men. A German writer recently remarked
that "the growth of the U. S. Navy will soon
be checked by the inability to man its vessels."
Great improvements are required in the mari-
time laws of the United States, both for ship
and man, and there would be a better prospect
of success if we could show a bold and united
front in presenting our demands. The sea-
man asks for nothing impossible or impracti-
cable; he is far more conservative in his de-
mands than any other organized body of men
in the world; he willingly compromises, rather
than enter into a state of war; he desires to
see things so equalized that the merchant can
run his vessels in competition with those who
man their vessels at starvation wages; recog-
nizing, in fact, that any improvement in the
condition of the seaman ultimately works for
the benefit of the ship, and consequently for
the benefit of the whole country.
A shipowner, as a rule, runs his vessel pure-
ly for his own profit, without any regard
whatever for the comfort of the men em-
ployed, yet the shipping interests look to the
United States Government for protection —
the Government looks for the American sea-
men to man its warships — are we not justified
by the rule of proportion in our demands up-
on the shipowner for a fair share cf the prof-
its derived from our labor?
Combinations have been made in the past,
increasing rates on freight and passenger traf-
fic, and propositions have been made to re-
duce wages and increase hours of labor with-
out extra remuneration. Therefore we are
organized and combined as a matter of self-
protection, or we will say self-preservation,
to maintain a rate of wages that will enable
us to live as ' ' white men, ' ' to marry, to make
a home, to raise children, clothe and feed them
decently, and send them to school until old
enough and strong enough to support them-
selves.
The answer to some of our demands has
been the employment of an alien and inassim-
ilible race to the exclusion of white men; the
discrimination of shipmasters against union
men. This unhappy state of affairs tend to
destroy the best elements in the seaman's char-
acter; envy and hatred are taking the place
of the liberal and generous spirit that once
animated the breast of the seaman, and we
have nothing but condemnation for the sys-
tem that is responsible for this result. The
time is coming when the shipowner must look
upon his officers and seamen as partners to a
certain extent, and care for their interests,
as well as his own. The day of the "hell
ship" is passed, never, we hope, to return.
We know masters who would be very willing
to make their vessel a little hell, themselves
acting in the capacity of Belzeebub, but their
horns have been cut and their hoofs trimmed.
The ill feeling engendered by the fights of
former years has passed, or is passing away;
there is a mellowing of feeling among us
which will continue to grow if fostered in the
least degree and vessels can then be run on
the laws of the kingdom of heaven, which is
"Do unto others as you would they should do
unto you," and that will put us all in the
path of Peace.

Tug Men as Life Savers.
Men who follow the water for a living, on
tlic Greal Lakes especially, owe a big debt of
gratitude to the heroes on the tugs. Scarcely
a storm ever blows on tin' Lakes thai the mas-
ter and crew of one or mure of the many tugs
do not prove themselves heroes ready to risk
death in a horrible form to save the lives of
endangered seamen, and this without hope of
reward. 1 do not know of a single instance
where such men received a reward, and in
passin.tr, I want to know where are n mure
worthy of the Carnegie medal than ('apt. Ed.
Wylie. Capt. Colter, ('apt. Eaggerty, ('apt.
Lawson, and both the McRea brothers, and
I am only sorry that I have not a full list of
the names of their crews, heroes to the last
one of them. ('apt. Wylie took the crew off
the schooner Parker, off Ashtabula Harbor,
under somewhat the same circumstances thai
Capt. Haggerty saved the crew of the Yukon.
He also went out in a life-boat with a volun-
teer crew of tug-men and took the crew ill
the schooner Nevada in (he same place, and
on another occasion he saved the life of a man
named Huff, by jumping overboard and pull-
ing him out.
On July 4, 1894. Capt. Wylie saved two
men from drowning. The third man was
drowned, bu1 Capt. Wylie recovered his body.
On another occasion a woman named .Mrs.
Love Presley attempted suicide by drowning
in Ashtabula Creek. Capt. Wylie jumped in
and saved her. On May 16, 1905, at Erie,
Capt. Wylie saved four men named Fratas,
Poster, (.'oonyer and Lynch from drowning,
their boat having capsized. In connection
with this last rescue, one of the rescued wrote
Capt. Wylie as follows: "I thoughl the firsl
Christmas tree I ever saw was the most beau-
tiful thing in the world, but it did not com-
pare witli the beauty I could see in the tug
America coming to save me from drowning."
In 1904 Capt. Wylie saved the crew of the
Pretoria off Ashtabula, and this does not near
complete his list of rescms.
Capt. Jas. T. Wylie. a brother of Ed. Wylie,
saved eight lives in the season of 1892. He
was washed overboard and drowned. Novem-
ber '24, 1894.
Capt. Haggerty, of the tug Thomas Kelson,
in the recent storm, with the aid of a crew of
brave men, saved every life on the barge
Yukon, off Ashtabula Harbor.
Capt, McRae, of the Kunkle Bros., and his
crew saved the lives of five of the crew of the
Sarah E. Sheldon, with his little tug pound-
ing on the bottom every time she pitched.
The tug was so badly injured that she had to
go into drydock.
Capt. Wm. Cotter, with the crew of the
Prank W.. made the run from Cleveland to
Lorain to take off part of the Sheldon's crew,
and this run was made in the worst of one
of the fiercest gales that ever blew on Lake
Erie.
Capt. Lawson, of the tug Conneaut, and
his gallant crew rescued a man from drown-
ing at Buffalo; and the point 1 wish to make,
in conclusion, is that not a single man of any
of the crews hesitated a second to risk his
life to the possible chance of saving a human
being in distress. If those men bad their due,
each and every man on those tugs should wear
the Carnegie hero modal; but I can assure
them of one thing — the eternal gratitude of
all seamen, in all capacities. W. II. -I.
Record in Shipbuilding'.
The American Shipbuilding Co. has made
a great record in turning out new ships, and
big vessels that were ordered for 1906 deliv-
ery have been completed months ahead of
time. The steamer John Stanton which ac-
cording to the contract was to come out at
the openinir of navigation next spring has
been out several weeks and is now on the way
down with her third cargo of ore from the
head of Lake Superior.
The steamer Joseph Butler. Jr., which was
also ordered for 1906 delivery and which was
launched at the Lorain yard of the American
Shipbuilding Co. Saturday, will come out
this season and will probably be able to de-
liver two cargoes. President Wallace of the
shipbuilding company says she will he com-
pleted and ready for business November 2-").
The Stanton and the Butler w^n- ordered by
Capt Charles L. Hutchinson of this city. Re-
garding the construction of the steamer Stan-
ton the Marine Review says: The keel was
laid on July 13 and the steamer began her
maiden trip on October 10, the time elapsed
being three days less than three months. Sub-
tracting Sundays, Labor Day. six half holi-
days and two days of bad weather during
which no work was done, the ship was con-
structed complete, machinery installed and
steam up in seventy working days. No over-
time whatever was allowed. A slighl delay
was caused by a strike among the heater boys
in the riveting department. The work was
done at the Lorain yard of the company and
was under the general supervision of Supt.
Prank La Marehe. The chronology of such
a performance becomes extremely interesting.
As stati'd, the keel was laid on July 13: the
stem was set on August 1; all arches were in
place August 8; the stern post Augusl 9: the
fan tail in place <>n August I" and the hull
was launched on September K). The vessel
was inspected and approved by the govern-
menl on October ■"> and the steamer left the
shipyard under her own steam on October 10.
Twenty working days were consumed in the
installation of machinery and fitting out.
Three men are under arrest at Bayfield,
Wis., charged with robbing the corpse of Capt.
E. S. McDonald of the wrecked steamer Se-
vona. It is known that Capt. McDonald had
about $1,500 on his person, but when the body
was found on the beach it was stripped bare
of valuables. Several persons were afterward
caught passing wet and mutilated paper
money. It is now suspected that the woman
who claimed Seaman Jack McLacklin's body
was not related to him, as the man's mother
ha< written for information. McLacklin had
$150 in his pockets when his body was found.
Kenrj 11. and Arthur H. Eawgood have
filed articles of incorporation for the Com-
monwealth Steamship Company, fixing the
capital stock at. $200,000. The recently or-
dered 10,000-ton steamer represents the assets
ol' the company.
Ctitter for LaKe Superior.
A movement for the enlargement of the
revenue-cutter service is under way, and Con-
gress will hear of it at the coming session, [t
is hoped to secure a new revenue-cutter for
duty on Lake Superior. It is said that Secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw and Captain Koss,
chief executive officer, have held a conference
on the matter. Captain Ross says that at
least one more cutter should be authorized by
Congress for the Lakes.
"The Tuscarora, stationed at Milwaukee,"
he said, "should be restricted to duty on Lake
Michigan. That vessel, as a rule, is kept busy
around Milwaukee and Chicago, hut under
present conditions she must hold herself in re-
serve for duty on Lake Superior. We need a
cutter on the upper Lake and if Congress
gives us another, it will lie assigned to Supe-
rior.-'
The Pittsburg Steamship Co. is anxious to
recover the body of Capt. (ieorge Poster of
whaleback barge No. 117, and requests vessel
masters to keep a lookout for it off Thunder
Bay Island. The drowned man is described
as being five feet eight inches in height,
weight about 185 pounds, with dark eyes and
heavy beard when not shaved, ('apt. Poster
has distinguishable marks on his chest, prob-
ably caused by explosion of powder: also a
few spots of powder in his left cheek and a
lump on the haclc of his left hand.
General Manager Smith, of the Richelieu
and Ontario Navigation Company, announces
that the company will at once build a steamer
for the rapid section of the St. Lawrence and
also a sister steamer to the Montreal for the
Montreal-Quebec route. The company also
contemplates the building of a new steamer
for the Montreal-Hamilton route.
Deputy United States Marshal O'Donnell
of Detroit sold the hulk of the schooner Vega
and her cargo for $125 at Ludington to sat-
isfy the claims of the four members of the
crew, who began libel proceedings to recover
wages.
'I'he Davidson barge Chieftan came into
Conneaut recently with only two life-pre-
serves forward. These were two that had
been picked up off the old Progress. It is re-
ported that the Mantanzas and Pretoria had
none.
The body of Charles Leflanne. steward of
the lost steamer Kaliyuga, who with his bride
of two months was lost with the ship, was
washed ashore at South Hampton, Ont. Mrs.
Leflanne 's remains have not yet been found.
According to the latest reports, the Suez
Canal is now twice as deep and wide as it
was twenty years ago. The work of deepen-
ing the canal will continue until a depth of
30 feet throughout is attained. From Suez
to El Ferdan, 38 miles, the bottom width is
126 feet instead of 118 feet, its former width.
The bends of the canal have also been cor-
rcted, so that the width of the water surface
of the northern half is 295 to 350 feet, and of
the southern half 230 to 300 feet.

INJUNCTIONS, THEIR USE AND ABUSE.
Despite a number of hearings that were hail upon
our anti-injunction bill, H. R. 89, introduced in the
House by Congressman Grosvener, the Judiciary Com-
mittee failed to make a report thereon. In view of
the continued use or abuse of the issuance of the writ
of injunction in labor disputes, there can be no ques-
tion but that it is our bounden duty to impress upon
Congres3 the necessity of enacting a bill which shall
relieve our fellow-workers from the injustice which so
many are compelled to endure. * * *
Viewed from any point, the issuance of injunctions,
as we have witnessed them in our country, can not be
defended in either law or morals. There is no desire
on the part of labor for extra consideration or len-
iency at the hands of the courts. We neither request
nor desire immunity for any wrongful or unlawful act
when committed by a workman. We have the right,
however, to demand to be regarded and treated with
absolute equality before the law. We must and shall
be content with nothing less.
Our worst and most bitter antagonists can not dis-
sent from our protest against so vicious a distinction
made in injunction cases in the courts by which, upon
a one-sided allegation, punishment is meted out to a
workman, which is never even made applicable when
actions of a simlar character are done by another.
This question of the court 's abuse of the injunction
process is in a most unsatisfactory condition, and will
not be settled until settled right. It is the duty and
the mission of the organized workers of America to
enlighten the public mind, and to press home upon
our law-making power the necessity for fairness, for
justice and for the right.
LEGAL RIGHTS OP LABOR.
Often requests are made to us for financial assist-
ance to retain attorneys in defense of the rights of our
fellow-unionists, and still more often are appeals made
for us to take charge of the legal defense to prosecute
in the civil courts the rights of our fellow-workers.
The cases in point are mainly where trade unionists,
in the exercise of their lawful rights, have been en-
gaged in disputes with employers, and have been en-
joined by injunction processes.
In a few instances, to the extent of our financial
ability, we have made contributions. In most cases,
however, it has been impossible to comply. The funds
contributed by our affiliated unions are so meager and
infinitesimal that we find ready use for them in the
work of organizing, agitating for the creation of a
healthier public sentiment among all our fellow citi-
zens in favor of the labor moveemnt, and rendering by
all means at our command the best possible assistance
to our fellow-workers, and this, too, upon the eco-
nomic, legislative, administrative and social field,
wherever opportunity presents itself can be created.
However, the principle involved, that is, legal de-
fense and prosecution, civil and criminal, in order to
maintain and press home the legal rights of labor be-
fore the courts, is a most important one, one which
the American Federation of Labor should unquestion-
ably take in hand and systematically carry out.
No good reason can be given why we should not es-
tablish a legal department of the American Federation
of Labor at its headquarters and under the general
direction of its president, subject to such advice and
consent as may be necessary to receive from the Ex-
ecutive Council.
A competent, sympathetic attorney with such assist-
ance as may be necessary, could not only outline a
general policy to be pursued in a given set of cases
to be followed by out fellow unionists in their various
localities, but also if sufficient funds are raised, it
would permit us to retain attorneys in the locality,
acting under the general policy and advice of the gen-
eral department attorney, and also, if necessary, such
attorney could proceed to the point where the case in
question is to be heard and determined, either to lead
or assist therein. * * *
This subject is commended to your earnest consider-
ation. If you should deem the project a practical one,
I would recommend that it be enacted at this conven-
tion, enforceable and established, say, six months
after the close of the current year, and thus afford
our affiliated organizations the fullest opportunity of
conforming thereto.
THE LABOR PRESS.
The labor press gives constant evidence of its im-
proving service to the cause of labor's interests, and a
clearer perception of the attitude and position it oc-
cupies to the trade union movement. There is per-
ceptible improvement and efficiency as time goes on.
There are published now 185 official journals issued
monthly or oftener by American international unions,
and 170 weekly labor papers, all devoted to the de-
fense and advocacy of labor's interests, nearly all of
which are stoutly espousing the trade union move-
ment and the American Federation of Labor. Though
better support is now given to the labor press than
heretofore, it is still of an unsatisfactory character.
The service which the labor press renders our fellow-
workers is incalculable in dollars and cents. In say-
ing the right word at the right time to place labor's
side before the world upon any given controversy or
point at issue, many advantages are gained as well as
the best possible showing made for the cause and the
movement which, despite their nobility and grandeur
yet, have too few friends and advocates. We can not
too strongly urge our fellow-workers and friends to
give the labor press loyal and tangible support.
AMERICAN FEDERATIONIST.
With the December issue of the American Federa-
tionist, the twelfth annual volume of its issuance will
have been completed. As its editor, it has always
been my endeavor to make its appearance and contents
a source of gratification to our entire membership.
In no year of its previous existence, I firmly believe,
have we had more cause for gratification, because of
these, than in the now closing year.
The contributed articles, the correspondence, the or-
ganizers ' and officers ' reports, are continually develop-
ing into a higher order and a better character. When
it is borne in mind that nearly all the contributed ar-
ticles, whether of symposiums, correspondence, or
otherwise, are given without compensation or honor-
arium, the beneficial influence the American Fedora-
tionist wields, and the confidence and respect enter-
tained for it, must at once be realized. * * *

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.

(Continued from rage 3.)
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte's action
in discharging an employe of the Norfolk
Navy Yard who had agreed to hoard a ma-
chinist's mate but afterwards refused to carry
out his agreement because the machinist's
mate came to the house in the uniform of the
service, may be ethically defensible: but as a
means of securing the end in view, civilian
respect for the uniform of the Navy as repre-
sentative of the majesty of the Government,
it was about as impolitic a move as could well
have been devised. Leaving out the consider-
ation that every citizen has the undoubted
moral right to exclude from his home for any
reason sufficient unto himself all and every
person, there yet remains the evident proposi-
tion that respect for anything, person or in-
stitution, can not be instilled by official fiat
or threat. Men can not be made good, or virt-
uous, or respectful by statute or official bull-
dozing, in any sense commensurate with' the
mental attitudes represented by these terms.
If the uniform of a Government employe is to
inspire the civilian mind with respect, the in-
spiration must proceed from conditions in-
herent in the Government service of a kind
which would inspire respect whereever found.
After all, it is not the uniform, but the things
which the uniform stands for that men re-
spect, and so long as these things are unquali-
fiedly below par in the market of social worth
— as the rating of naval service in the lower
grades undoubtedly is at present — brass but-
tons and chevrons will continue to be regard-
ed as badges of servitude rather than as the
insignia of an honorable calling.
Chairman Shonts, of the Canal Commission,
is another opponent of the application of the
eight-hour law to labor on the Isthmus. It is
funny the way all these gentlemen want to
"see the dirt fly" from sunrise to sunset.
If the rest of the world's great nations — as
evidenced by their unwillingness to undertake
the job — are in no hurry about the Panama
Canal, why should we without a foreign-go-
ing merchant marine be in such a sweat to see
it dug that we must sweat the laborers that
work on it? Let the completion of the Pan-
ama Canal synchronize with the upbuilding of
a great foreign-going merchant marine, so that,
when it is ready for inter-oceanic navigation
we may have some ships to send through it,
instead of being mere toll-takers from other
nations. This course is herewith submitted for
the favorable consideration of Congress as a
"safe, sane and conservative" substitute for
the present unseemly haste in digging a canal
for the navigation of which we have neither
ships nor seamen.
The longer one studies our political and so-
cial fabrics the more evident it becomes that
graft and corruption are due to ignorance of
flu isc moral laws to which both nations and
individuals must conform or suffer the wages
of sin, death. In the final analysis, therefore,
our educational system is responsible for our
deviations from the moral law, by either neg-
lecting to inculcate it in the minds of the
young in any manner whatsoever, or else pre-
senting its educational status in such a man-
ner as to impress young people with the idea
that it is of secondary importance compared
with the importance of learning how to "get
on" in the world, that is, of learning how to
"make money." Hence the quasi-respeetabil-
ity of "honest graft" and other approved
methods of making money.
British Contraband Carriers
The following decision of a British High
Court shows that seamen are not compelled to
remain on British vessels carrying contraband
of war unless they have contracted to do so
when signing articles:
A seaman signed articles in April, 1904, to
serve on board a steamship, at £3 15s. a month,
for a voyage not exceeding two years' dura-
tion, to any ports within the limit of 75 N;
and 60° S. latitude, commencing at Barry, pro-
ceeding thence to Hongkong, thence to ports
in any rotation, and to end at such port in the
United Kingdom or the Continent, of Europe
(within Home-trade limits) as should be re-
quired by the master. At the time of signing
the arfckiles astate of war existed between
Russia and Japan, ami coal had been oefijared
contraband by both powers, as all the tsrevf
were aware. The slfip left Barry with a cargo
of coal for Hongkong or Shanghai as might
be ordered at Singapore. On arrival at Singa-
pore on June 27th, 1904, the master received
orders to take the cargo to Nagasaki instead of
Hongkong, Nagasaki being within the limits
of trading mentioned in the articles. The next
day the crew heard for the first time that they
were to go to Japan, and they refused to go
because of the danger. The master according-
ly arranged with the crew to remain at Sing-
apore, and that he would call for them on his
way back from Nagasaki. The ship then pro-
ceeded with another crew, and reached Naga-
saki in safety; but on her way back to Singa-
pore she went ashore on the coast of China on
August 1. She was, however, after some time
got off, and eventually reached Hongkong.
Meanwhile, on September 4, the seaman and
the rest of the crew were sent home to London
as distressed seamen, at the cost of the owner
of the vessel. They arrived in London on
October 23, and the next day applied for
their wages, but. were refused. As a test case
one of the seamen accordingly took out a sum-
mons to recover his wages, and the Magistrate
made an order in has favor for £17 18s. 2d.,
the amount due up to the day of arrival in
London.
The owners of the vessel appealed, but the
High Court confirmed the order of the Magis-
trate, holding that the seamen had not con-
tracted to serve on a ship which might carry
contraband of war to a Japanese port, and
that with regard to the arrangement made at
Singapore there was evidence that it was in-
tended that the contract should continue so
far as wages were concerned. — Lloyd v. Sheen,
King's Division, July 1, 1905.
Three young men in Salzburg. Austria, out
of employment, pooled what money they had,
bought a revolver, had a dinner at a res-
taurant, drank to one another's "future" and
then went to a cemetery and committed sui-
cide, one after the other, with the revolver.
The ancient church of St. Laurent at Rouen
has become literally commercialized It is
some years since it was deemed safe to use it
as a church, and all its chapels and its porches
have been rented out as little stores, while
its exterior wall spaces have been let to ad-
vertisers.
In the calendar year 1904 the emigration
from Italy to oceanic countries aggregated
233,102 persons. Of these, 150,119, or about
67 per cent, came to the United States; 54,964
went to Argentina and Paraguay ; 10,957 to
Brazil: 904 to Central America and 797 to
Africa.

Twenty-eight disputes affecting 7,619
workpeople (6,626 directly and !>!•:; in-
directly) were reported to the Belgium
Labor Department as having been begun
in the period June-August.
According to the number of disputes
nml the number of workpeople directly
affected, the year 1904, in Holland was
freer from industrial disturbance than
either of the two preceding years.
A moves m fool in Melbourne

Thirty-nine disputes (1 described as a
lock-out) were reported to the Austrian
Labor Department, in addition to those
which may have occurred in mining, the
returns l'or which are quarterly. The
number of workpeopl part in .'>"
of these was :\,722.
The growth of Trade Unions in Prance
during recent years has been very i
able. Since 1 !S98 the number of Onions
has doubled, and the membership has in-
ised by 78 per cent. Among the 781,-
344 membere of Trade Unions in L905
were included 09,405 women, or S.il per
cent, of the total, as compared with 59,-
708, or 8.3 per cent, in 1904.
During the nine completed months of
1905, 335,507 socmen were shipped in
I Britain of whom -JSol'i; (or 14..".
per cent.) were foreigners. Compared
with the corresponding period of 1904,
this shows an increase of 4,166: the prin-
cipal increases were at Liver] 1 and
Glasgow, and the greatest decreases at
Southhampton and the Tyne Ports.
Returns received from certain selected
British ports (at which 80 per cent, of
the total tonnage in the Foreign Trade
is entered and cleared) showed that, dur-
ing September 38,859 seamen were ship-
ped on foreign-going vessels, an in
of 34 on the number shipped in Septem-
ber, 1904. Increases were most marked
at Sunderland ami London; the principal
decreases were at Liverpool and the
Tyne Ports.
A strike occurred recently in Amster
dam, Holland, among pile-drivers, who
demanded that the number of men in
each cane; should be increased from 5 to
6. Bricklayers and hodmen refused to
work on foundations constructed by a
few workmen who continued work after
the strike had been declared, this result-
ing in an extensive strike, followed by a
lock-out of 2,500 bricklayers and hodmen
which affected all branches of the build-
ing trades. No agreement had been ar-
rived at up to the 13th of October.
Beginning with 1901 there has been,
each year, an increase in the number of
industrial disputes which have occurred
in the German Empire, and also in the
number of workpeople affected by them.
In 1904, as shown by the Report recent-
ly issued by the Imperial Statistical
Office, there was not only again an in-
in these particulars, but the num-
bers, both of disputes and of workpeo-
pl,- affected, were greater than in any of
the years for which official stati
have been published.
Sixteen instances of recourse to the
illation and Arbitration Law were
reported to the French Labor Department
during August, the initiative being taken
by the workpeople in :! and by the
Justice of the Peace in 13 cases. In 12
cases committees of conciliation were
formed, and were directly or indirectly
instrumental in settling 9 disputes, in-
cluding 2 which were settled by arbitra-
tion. As to the 4 cases in which con-
ciliation committees could not be formed,
this was due to the proffered mediation
being declined by the employers in 3
cases, and by the workpeople in 1 case.

The strike of the Cigarmaken at San
Francisco to secure an increase in their
schedule of prices lias ended, the union
having succeeded in securing the consent
of all manufacturers to pay the new
rates. There were about 150 C'igarmak-
era on strike in the various factories and
these men returned to work promptly
when their employers signed the onion
schedule.
The call of three anthracite districts
for a joint convention of delegates to
the United Mine Workers at Shamokin,
December 14, has been issued. The
convention will take action on conditions
of employment to become effective after
March 31, 1906, when the present agree
incut with the operators expires. Local
unions have been cautioned to use ex-
treme care in selecting delegates, because
of the importance of the contention.
The sympathetic strike is attacked in
a suit for damages for $50,000, filed in
the Circuit Court at Chicago, 111., against
the International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers and Frank
M. Kyan, general president. The Oscar
Daniels Iron Works Company is the
plaintiff. Attorney II. C. Rumery, rep-
resenting the complainant, declares that
if the Courts decide that the union is
liable for the damages incurred by the
company, it will put an end to sympa-
thetic strikes.
A settlement of the controversy be-
tween the Northwestern Brewers' Asso-
ciation and the Brewery Workmen 's
Unions has been effected. The agree-
ment made provides for the union shop
system and the union schedule of wages
and hours, as well as other union rules
governing employment. Its provisions
extend to all workmen employed in the
breweries of the Association. The set-
tlement was effected on November 7,
and the agreement with the unions sign-
ed by the brewers on November 10 and
A "standing army" of unemployed
men recruited through bureaus in all of
the large cities under the direction of em-
plovers' associations and held in readi-
ness to be transported in two or three
clays ' time to the scene of any labor
disturbance, is a strategical project for
the breaking of big strikes which assum-
ed definite shape in Chicago. The plan,
which originated with the local Em-
ployers' Association, will be presented
for ratification to the convention of the
Citizens' Industrial Association in St.
Louis.
The California State federation of
Labor will hold its sixth annual conven-
tion in Qermania Hall, Oakland, com-
mencing Monday evening, January 1,
1906. The executive council of the
State Federation lias issued the call for
the convention, pursuant to the constitu-
tion of the organization. Bach affiliated
organization in California is entitled to
representation according to his numeri-
cal strength, at the rate of one delegate
for each 100 members, or major fraction
thereof, though no single union is en-
titled to more than six delegates. Cen-
tral labor bodies arc entitled to two dele-
gates each.
A scheme lias 1 rj brought to the at-
tention of the immigration authorities
to induce immigration from foreign
countries to the United States. Thus
far the plan is known to be in opera-
tion only in Italy, but it probably will
be extended to other European countries.
Two companies, known respectively as
' ' Unione Meridanale ' ' and ' ' La Ligure
Americana," have been organized to is-
sue to prospective immigrants policies
of insurance that they will be landed on
arrival in America. The premium for
each policy is two dollars, the companies
guaranteeing to refund the immigrant's
transportation charge in the event of de-
portation.

United States cruiser Minneapolis has
been ordered to Cronstadt to protect
Americans.
It is reported from London that Sir
Thomas Lipton expects to again ehal-
enge for the America's Cup in 1907.
The former Russian cruiser Variag,
which was sunk by the Japanese and af-
terward raised, has been supplied with
new engines and will proceed to Yoko-
uika to receive her armament. Trials of
the vessel at low speed have been highly
iatisfaetory.
The general board of the navy has rec-
immended to Secretary Bonaparte the
construction of three battleships and six-
teen torpedoboats. The battleships rec-
ommended would carry at least ten 12-
inch rifles ami would be without an in-
termediate battery.
One of the two Ward Line steamships
now building at Cramps' for service he
tween New York, Cuba and Mexico, will
be launched in about live weeks' time.
She is 470 feet long. The Cramps have
the contract for four steamships for the
Ward Line.
A new Swedish Shipping Company,
with its seat at Malmo, has been formed
with a capital of 400,000 kroner, which
may be increased to 1,200,000 kroner. Its
title is " Sverig-Tyskland, " and its ob-
ject is the conveyance of passengers and
goods between Skaane and the Continent.
The directors of the Navigazione Gen-
erale ltaliana have decided upon raising
the capital of the Company from thirty-
three to fifty-four million lire. Fifty-
five thousand of the new shares are to
lie offered to the old shareholders. Nine
new steamers are to be built.
The New York representative of the
Hamburg-American Line has stated that
his Company looks upon the voyages of
the Royal Mail Line as prejudicial to its
interests and an encroachment on its
sphere of action : the Hamburg Company
has, for that reason, announced its with-
drawal from the West Indian Shipping
Conference.
It is reported that several Philadelphia
tugs will go to New York this winter,
believing that conditions are better there
than at this port. Considerable dredg-
ing work is being done at New York and
the work of filling in and reclaiming land
in New Jersey affords greater opportun-
ity for towing craft to engage in than is
possible at Philadelphia.
The City Council of Ghent has invited
lenders for the execution of important
harbor works, among them being the en-
largement and deepening of the new
maritime basin, which is to be made 2,-
200 metres long and 180 metres wide,
and the water alongside the quays will
be .'10 ft. deep. All the works are to be
completed by the .".1st of December, 1907.
During the nine months of this year
ending 30th September, the vessels ar-
r i \ 11I from over sea at Hamburg num-
bered 23,006, with a total measurement
of 15,583,387 register tons net. This is
an increase, when compared with the cor-
responding period of mot, of 320 ves-
sels ami 1,021,175 tons. Tin- increase is
exclusively to the credit of steam navi-
gation, the sailing-ship traffic being rath-
er less than last year.

PROCEEDINGS OF A. F. OF L.
Executive Council Submits Report.
Many Important Resolutions Adopted.
THE. twenty-fifth annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor was opened promptly
at 10 a. m. on Monday, November II!, by Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers in the Old City Hall,
Pittsburg, Pa. Mr. Gompers introduced J. A. Robin-
son, of the Hotel and Restaurant Employes, who in a
brief speech presented a handsome floral emblem to
the convention. C. C. Douglas, President of the Iron
City Trades Council, the central labor organization of
Pittsburg, then addressed the convention, welcoming
the delegates in the name of organized labor.
Hon. James B. Drew, representative of Mayor Hays,
of Pittsburg, delivered an eloquent address and pre-
sented the President Gompers the key of the great
gate of the city, decorated with the Pittsburg colors.
Mr. Gompers responded, expressing keen appreciation
of the kind words of welcome, and especially the splen-
did tribute paid by Mr. Drew to the efforts of organ-
ized labor. At the conclusion of his response to the
addresses of welcome. President Gompers called the
convention to order for the transaction of business.
The Committee on Credentials reported favorably
upon the credentials of 311 delegates, representing
eighty-one International and National Unions, twenty
three State Branches, seventy-three Central Bodies,
twenty-six Local Trade and Federal Labor Unions, and

resenting organizations, which had not complied with

mended not seated, until their organizations had been
placed in good standing. On motion the report of the
Committee was adopted.

SECOND DAY, NOVEMBER 14.
The Executive Council submitted its report, which
reads, in part, as follows :
We herewith submit to you the report of the
Executive Council upon such of the more important
matters as have come before us, and received our at-
tention and action, for which we ask your earnest con-
sideration and action, and we entertain the hope that
they, as well as such recommendations as we may
make, will meet your approval.
Organization.
True to our policy, we have authorized the ex-
penditure of large sums of money to bring the yet
unorganized workers within the beneficent fold of the
trade-union movement, and we feel confident within
the near future that tangible results will be shown.
We are not only interested in and devoting our atten-
tion to the organization of the wage-earners in local
unions directly affiliated to our Federation, but we arc
also mindful of the infinitely greater advantage to
them which follows their becoming attached to the
international unions of their respective crafts and
callings. When it is borne in mind that when our
Federation was formed in 1881 there were but few
national or international unions in existence, that
there are now one hundred and eighteen of such or-
ganizations affiliated to the A. F. of "L., it surely must
encourage us all and impel us to still further effort
for the extension of our work to all the toilers of our
continent.
It is a matter to be regretted that there are still
some bona fide international unions which, for some
reason or other, still remain unaffiliated. Surely, there
can be given no good reason for the isolated policy
which they pursue. The largest latitude consistent
with the general good is guaranteed to every trade-
union. In becoming affiliated to our Federation, no
organization surrenders a tangible right or advantage.
Its affiliation contributes strength and prestige to
those already affiliated, but in such affiliation an or-
ganization cannot give, without receiving, greater
benefit in return.
We recommend that still further efforts be made
to convince all bona fide trade unions, local, national
and international, that their own and the general
good would be the better protected and promoted by
their becoming members of the family of trade unions
under the banner of the American Federation oi
Labor.
Jurisdiction.
In view of the fact that despite decisions render-
ed, organizations have not generally complied with the
terms, the subject matter in its entirely was discussed
by us at several sessions. We are strongly of the
opinion that unless the representatives of the organi-
zations in interest recognize the desire as well as the
necessity for a conciliatory policy, that an effort to
employ such a course is not always fraught with good
or is calculated to bring success.
Much of the time of the Conventions of the Ex-
ecutive Council and of the officers has been and is now
devoted to the effort at adjustment of jurisdiction
disputes, which could be devoted to other subjects cal-
culated to be of greater advantage to our fellow-
workers and to our movemnt. We, therefore, n
mend to this Convention that the American Federation
of Labor di countenance the consideration of disputes
between organizations unless the organizations at in-
terest have first made an effort in adjust them, and
that if arbitration be desirable, both organizations in
advance agree in writing to abide by the decision
rendered. We firmly believe that under any and all
circumstances the Council should endeavor to prevent
any action of one which may be calculated to injuie
another organization, and to act as mediators to re-
store harmony and co-operation.
Seamen — Longshoremen.
The controversy between the Seamen's and the
Longshoremen's unions has reached an acute stage,
particularly on the Pacific Coast.
We have endeavored to stop the strife between
these two organizations but with little avail, and can
only express our keen regret thereat and hope that a
way out may be found by which both may be enabled
to co-operate to their mutual advantage.
Legislation.
Though little advance of interest to labor can be
reported as the result of the last Congress, other than
the provision requiring that no contract shall be en-
tered into by the Postoffice Department for the pur-
chase of material or supplies which are manufactured
by convict labor, several measures inimical to the in-
terests of labor were, through our efforts, defeated.
Together with our Legislative Committee, we have
rendered every assistance to secure favorable action
regarding the Convention's declaration upon the sub-
ject of under-manning of vessels, the improper and
unsafe towing of rafts, as well as the improper com-
petition of enlisted with civilian musicians. The last
Congress, and particularly the last session, was un-
propitious so far as legislation in the interest of labor
was concerned.
We have given every consideration to the subject-
matter of both legislative action of the Congress and
administrative acts of the Executive and the heads of
several departments.
We recommend that in addition to the effort to
secure favorable legislation affecting the wage-earn
ers of our country, as well as to prevent acts hostile to
labor's interests, the Executive Council be authorized
to not only have a competent and active Legislative
Committee, but also that the efforts of your officers be
continued to carefully guard the legislative and admin
istrative course, particularly so far as it affects I he
conditions and interests of (he wage-earners, the
wealth-producers of America.
Nor can we permit this opportunity to pass by to
hold responsible the dominant party in power for its
failure to fulfill and carry into effect ils promises and
pledges for an eight-hour law, for an anti-injunction
law, for a law that shall protect honest, workmen I i "in
the evil effects of convict -labor coming into COmpeti
tion with the labor of free men.
Assessment to Help Printers.
An assessment of one cent a member a week, for
a period of four weeks, was levied on the entire mem
bership of the federation for the benefit of the Enter
national Typographical Union in its efforts to estnb
lish an eight-hour workday in the job and commercial
printing establishments of the United Stales and
( lanada.

ternal delegate to the Trades and Labor Congress of

THIRD DAY, NOVEMBER 15.
The following resolutions by Delegate A. Furuseth
of the International Seamen's Union, were adopted:
Resolution No. -■
' ' Whereas, The towing at sea of log-rafts and long
strings of barges, each incapable of being managed at
sea by its own crew, is constantly increasing; and
"Whereas, Such towing necessarily endangers hu-
man 1;. ibstructs navigation; therefore, be it
•• Resolved, That this Convention reiterates its form-
er urgent request that proper laws be enacted by Con-
gress; and further be it
' ' Resolved, That this resolution be submitted to the
proper committees of Congress."
Resolution No. 6.
'•Whereas, Investigations have demonstrated the
main cause of the great loss of lives in ship wrecks
to be a deck crew insufficient in numbers and in in-
dividual skill; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we hold it to be the duty of Con-
gress to so amend existing law that these inexcusable
defects may be remedied and the present reckless gam-
bling with human lives brought to an end; and fur-
ther, be it
"Resolved, That this resolution be transmitted to
the appropriate committees of Congress."
The following resolution by Delegate C. J. Harring-
ton, of the International Seamen's Union, was also
adopted :
Resolution No. 20.
' ' Whereas, Our maritime law and our treaties with
foreign nations still recognize the ownership of one
by another, and enforces such ownership by of-
fering'rewards for escaped seamen in the same way
as rewards are offered for the recapture of escaped
convicts and by compelling such seamen to labor
ust their will on private vessels or suffer punish-
for refusal; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That this Convention demands from
Congress that the law and the treaties be so amended
as to give to si amen the same individual freedom ac-
corded to other men. ' '
The convention went on record for the following
resolutions :
Condemning employment or use of convict labor in
the production of any article which brings such con-
vict labor in competition with free labor in the open
market.
Urging the organizers of the A. E. of L. and the
officers of the affiliated national and international
anions to use their best efforts, and render every as-
sistance iiossilile, in organizing the stenographers,
writers, bookkeepers and office clerks throughout
country.
Demanding tin- passage of a law which will make it
illegal under" the statutes of the United States for en-
.1 men to be used ill competition with civilians for
any purpose whatever.
Urging the Government to introduce the postal sav-
ings banks system so successful abroad.
Favoring the admission of women to full citizen-
ship as a matter of justice to them, and as a neces-
sary step towards insuring and raising the scale of
wages for all.
In favor of the United States Government operat-
ing a parcels post system in connection with the Post-
office Department.
Urging the passage of a bill which will give the
employes of the United States Navy Yards, Naval
Stations and gun factories recourse to the civil
courts for injury received in the line of duty.
ring an increase in the United States Navy
Yards, arsenals and gun factories, to the end that
the Government may tie in position to produce all
work required by the Government in the said navy
yards, arsenals and gun factories.
Mr. Raul Kenneday, of the New York City Com-
mittee mi the Prevention of Tuberculosis, delivered a
long address. Then' was more than ordinary inter-
est in this talk, because organized labor has seen the
great white plague cut its membership down more suc-
- fully than have all the employers' associations
extant." Figures were produced by Mr. Kenneday
showing the greatest death rate from consumption in
the country last year was among the marble and stone
cutters. The death rate for the year in this craft is
s:iid to have 1 n 50(1 in 1000, or one-half. Cigar-
makers were declared to be second in the death rate,
plasterers third and printers fourth.
Mr, Kenneday displayed some charts and a number
of pamphlets detailing briefly how to avoid and then
how to cure consumption. On motion of James Dun-
can, it was decided to reproduce the charts and pam-
phlets for general circulation.
The following substitute, drafted by Delegate W.
Macarthur, of the International Seamen's Union, for
Resolution No. 24, was adopted:
"Whereas, There exists a clearly-defined and grow-
ing disposition in certain newspaper and official circles
to restrict the rights of employes in the service of the
Government and so-called public service corporations,
specifically in respect to the right of organization for
political and economic purposes; and
' • Whereas, The threatened proscription of public
and quasi-public employes not only menaces the inter-
ests of those immediately affected, but also endangers
the principle of personal liberty, upon which the in-
stitution of popular government must depend for its
perpetuation; therefore, be it
' ' Resolved, By the American Federation of Labor,
that all employes in the 'service of public and quasi-
public institutions retain all the rights of citizenship,
among which are the right to organize for political
or legislative purposes, and to exercise such right by
direct representation to the Congress of the United
.States or other law-making body, or the members
thereof, and the right to organize for economic pur-
poses and to exercise such right by resort to all or any
means which may properly be adopted by private em-
ployes or organizations thereof; further
"Resolved, That all public and quasi-public em-
ployes are entitled to and will receive the aid and sup-
port of this Federation in the fullest exercise of the
rights herein described."
EOURTH DAY, NOVEMBER 16.
William Mosses and David Gilmour, fraternal dele-
gates from the British Trades Union Congress, and
William V. Todd, delegate from the Dominion Trades
and Labor Congress, delivered lengthy addresses,
which were well received.
Thomas I. Kidd, of the Committee on Education,
reported a resolution in which the Women 's Trade
Union League asked assistance of the Federation in
getting at facts on women working in the United
States. The resolution was adopted. The committee
also recommended that the convention hear two of the
women interested on this subject. Miss Mary E. Mc-
Dowell, President of the league, and Miss Gertrude
Barn Secretary, both of Chicago, were Invited to
the platform.
Miss McDowell commented on the fact that there
are only four women delegates at the convention,
whereas, there are 5,000,000 women making a living
in the country. The increase in divorce, decrease of
marriage and low birth rate, Miss McDowell said, have
been attributed to the increase of working women.
The league, she said, wants to get data on the work-
ing women.
Mr. Charles Stelzle, a union machinist, who repre-
sents a movement which aims to have the churches and
trade-unions work in unison, addressed the convention
at some length.
FIFTH DAY, NOVEMBER 17.
Delegate .1. W. Wood, representing the Interna-
tional Union of Stationary Engiueers, declared an-
other organization of engineers, the so-called National
Association of Stationary Engineers, was a strictly
non-union body. He read from the proceedings of the
Citizens' Industrial Association, meeting in St. Louis,
and said the N. A. S. E. was affiliated with the indus-
trial association. He said the dual engineers' associa-
tion favored the open shop and opposed strikes, and de-
clared he wished to have the delegates thoroughly un-
derstand that there were two organizations of en-
gineers.
A feature of t li is day's session was the address of
Rev. S. Edward Young, pastor of a local church, who
invited the delegates to attend service in his church.
Mr. Young declared he had attended some of the
sessions of the convention, but as he was working
twelve to fourteen hours a day, he had not had the op-
portunity to give the convention all the attention he
wished. At the mention of the long workday the audi-
ence smiled, but Dr. Young was equal to the occasion
by declaring he thought he ought to strike for a shorter
workday in his religious work. "But why should I
strike as an individual? My job would be taken im-
mediately by a 'scab.' To make the move effective all
us ministers would have to strike together."
The Committee on Labels recommended non-concur-
rence in three resolutions favoring a universal label.
After considerable debate, the entire subject was re-
ferred for further inquiry to the Executive Council.
The following resolutions received the endorsement
of the convention :
Requesting the delegates to make special efforts to
organize the women wage-workers in their respective
localities.
Directing the Executive Council to instruct the or-
ganizers to do everything in their power to organize
tin sugarworkers in the respective localities.
The Committee on Organization reported that the
funds of the American Federation of Labor are en-
tirely inadequate to meet the numerous demands for
organizers made by the various organizations, and was
ore compelled ill nearly every instance to recom-
mend that such resolutions be referred to the Executive
< louncil.
SIXTH DAY, NOVEMBER 18.
The following resolutions were endorsed:
Extending the sympathy of the American Federa-
tion of Labor for the struggling people of Russia.
Pledging the Federation's support to the striking
Shirt, Waist and Laundry Workers at Troy, N. Y., and
appropriating one thousand dollars, or as much of this
amount as may be necessary, to assist in prosecuting
this strike to a successful issue.
Endorsing the movement to have telegraph companies
doing a public business placed in the hands of the
National Goverment.
Urging trade-unionists to use all honorable means
to oppose election to public office of men unfriendly to
organized labor, and assist to the extent of their ability
the nomination and election of candidates who are
known to be friendly to labor legislation.
Favoring an amendment to the Boiler Inspection law
by adding a proviso that Boiler Inspectors must be
skilled, experienced and practical workmen.
Condemning the practice of railroads of forcing pur-
chasers of excursion and tourist tickets to sign an iron-
clad agreement not to transfer them, whereby many
tickets are not used and millions of unearned profits
are obtained.
Recommending that all affiliated State and Central
bodies exchange fraternal delegates with the various
State and city ministerial associations, wherever prac-
ticable, thus insuring a better understanding on the
part of the church and clergy of the aims and objects
of the labor union movement of America.
Urging Congress to establish a Bureau of Photo-
EngTaving, on lines similar to the other branches of
the printing trades.
Indorsing the principle of government insurance of
a voluntary nature, and authorizing the Executive
Council to favor legislation to that end.
Instructing the Executive Council to correspond with
the various affiliated National and International
Unions of this country and of Europe as to the ad-
visability of a recognition of membership cards,
whereby a trades unionist from any country would be
exempt from payment of initiation fees in another
conutry; provided he or she had been for three years
prior a member in continuous good standing in his or
her union; and to report their recommendations to the
next convention of the American Federation of Labor.
The following resolution, by Delegate A. Furuseth,
of the International Seamen 's Union, was also
adopted :
Resolution No. 113.
' ' Whereas, The urgent need of a Government hospital
in the Bristol Bay region is greatly felt by everyone
engaged in the Alaskan fishing industry, and especially
by the members of the International Seamen 's Union
of America, many of whom have suffered great hard-
ships in the past through lack of proper medical atten-
tion at the fishing grounds; and
' ' Whereas, It is of vital importance to upward of
eight thousand men, who are engaged in the fishing
industry in Alaska, that such hospital should be estab-
lished before the opening of the season of 1906, and
that immediate steps be taken to secure the proper
presentation of this matter to the Congress of the
United States at its coming session ; and
' ' Whereas, The International Seamen 's Union of
America has already taken steps in drafting and pre-
paring such memorials and petitions as will present the
matter forcibly and clearly to the proper Government
officials as to the necessity of such hospital; therefore
be it
' ' Resolved, By the American Federation of Labor,
that we co-operate with the International Seamen 's
Union of America in this matter, and use our best ef-
forts in securing the establishment of such hospitals. ' '
Delegate Victor L. Berger of the International Typo-
graphical Union was the author of the following reso-
lution:
' ' Whereas, The hypocritical attempt of the Civic
Federation plutocrats to convince organized laboring
men that ' the interests of capital and labor are iden-
tical ' is being helped on by certain labor leaders, and
has succeeded in blinding the minds of others; and
' ' Whereas, The interests of laborers and capitalists
constitute the basis of a real class struggle, which
needs no stirring up, but does need to be ended; there-
fore, be it
' ' Resolved, That we point with sorrow to the close
intimacy and harmonious relations established between
Samuel Gompers and other labor leaders with the great
capitalists and plutocratic politicians; and be it fur-
ther
"Resolved, That it is the sentiment of this conven-
tion that we consider the results of this policy are not
for labor 's interests, as shown in the failure of the
Belmont subway strike in New York and the futility
of the eight-hour campaign in Congress. ' '
The Committee on Resolutions reported upon Mr.
Berger 's resolution as follows: The statements con-
tained in the preambles of this resolution are a mis-
statement of facts, and the resolutions are, therefore,
based on false premises. Your committee reports un-
favorably upon them. The committee 's report was
concurred in.

Farm Colonies.
A contemporary notes that in England one
person in every thirty-two is a pauper sup-
ported by the State, and ascribes the cause
to over-population, advising emigration as a
cure for the evil. This solution of a problem
which is becoming acute in all civilized lands
affords a fair measure of the intelligence of
the average newspaper editor when it is borne
in mind that nine-tenths of the area of the
British Islands is owned by aristocratic land-
lords whose titles to their possessions have in
most instances been obtained through royal
grants. Why, forsooth, should British men
and women be forced to emigrate while mil-
lions of acres of British land are put to no
better use than deer parks, hunting moors,
terraces, grazing meadows for blooded stock,
etc.? So long as there is enough land in a
country to maintain its population — and there
is many times more than enough in Great
Britain — there should be no need for any of
its inhabitants to emigrate. Unfortunately,
the British are noted for their conservative-
ness in regard to political and social institu-
tions, and they will probably have to suffer a
good deal more from hunger and cold than
they are doing now, before they will amend
or change their land laws so that the land will
be made to support all the inhabitants in com-
fort, instead of as now, when it supports a
few hundred aristocratic leeches in princely
splendor and forty million plain people in
varying degrees of poverty.
In this connection it is interesting to re-
member that Rider Haggard, the noted Eng-
lish novelist, made a tour of the United States
recently, for the purpose of gathering data
and statistics for the British Government on
the subject of farm colonies. Since then Mr.
Haggard has made an elaborate report to his
government on the workings of our farm colo-
nies under the supervision of the Salvation
Army, and strongly recommends the estab-
lishment of such colonies in Great Britain.
Mr. Haggard points out that the routine of
factory hands tends to reduce them almost to
the level of machines, and that, if through
sickness, strikes, or the substitution of labor-
saving devices they are thrown out of em-
ployment, they are pretty much like pieces of
cast-off machinery thrown upon a dump.
The following from a paper on farm colo-
nies, prepared by Commander Angelina C.
Booth, of the Salvation Army, is also perti-
nent to the subject:
The most dangerous tendency of modern civiliza-
tion is the disintegration and destruction of the home
and family. For an honest, but poor, workingman to
rear his family in decency and comfort is increasingly
difficult. The forces working against him are well-
nigh overwhelming. The farm colony is the natural,
the scientific remedy for this terrible evil, and can be
made co-extensive with it.
All this agitation in favor of farm colo-
nies will undoubtedly have the effect of focus-
ing the attention of intelligent men every-
where on the evils of private ownership of
land. These evils are only tolerated because
of the venerableness with which age has in-
vested them. As civilization advances, how-
ever, and the status of land as the source of
all wealth becomes more generally known and
recognized, the land question will everywhere
become the leading economic and political
issue.
Humbugs in Type.
A recent press dispatch which went the
round of the Eastern press reads as follows:
CALCUTTA, Nov. 11.— The native hands have
found the textile mills of Bombay terrible sweatshops.
The workers are obliged to labor fifteen hours a day,
and these hours not only apply to adults, but to the
child laborers, and on account of their cheapness the
children form a large portion of the workers. Curi-
ously enough the worst features of this sweating sys-
tem are due to the introduction of electric light in
the mills. Before this introduction the hands stopped
work at dusk, which comes early in India. Now, with
the electric light, work is started at 5 in the morning
and continued until after 8 at night.
The object of our friends among the trust-
subsidized press in circidating such news
as the above, is, of course, to create by con-
trast, an impression on our home folks that
that as a nation we are comparatively guilt-
less of such abominations as sweatshops and
child labor. And yet, systematic investiga-
tions conducted by various organizations and
societies interested in the social and industri-
al betterment of the masses have disclosed
that in many parts of our country, particu-
lai-ly in the large cities and in the mills of
the Southern States, child labor and sweat-
shop conditions obtain which inTiumerous in-
stances, are even worse than those described
in the newspaper dispatch quoted above.
But, of course, the trust organs are not in
business to divulge the sources from whence
their owners derive a goodly portion of their
profits. Not much, they aren't. The mod-
ern press is now performing the functions
which the churches used to perform when
education was less widespread among men ;
that is, fooling the people all the time by
keeping them ignorant of the truth concern-
ing our industrial slavery and economic in-
justices. Let any intelligent workingman
scan the pages of an average daily newspaper
and see how much there is in them about the
struggle for existence going on among the
nine-tenths of our population who work with
their hands. He won't find much of that
kind, as we all know; and what little he may
find has usually been "doctored" to con-
form to the "editorial policy" of the paper
in which it appears. None the less, these
humbugs in type have the effrentery to pro-
claim that they represent "public opinion,"
which fact would seem to bear out P. T. Bar-
num's cynicism that "the public likes to be
humbugged." Take them all in all, the news-
papers of the age serve as fairly good demon-
strations of the fact that our so-called
"Christian civilization" is only possible on
the basis that one-half of the world must not
know how the other half lives.
Tony Peterson, the New York representa-
tive of the "American Seamen's Federation,"
a scab crimping concern on the Atlantic
Coast, was haled before the State Comptroller
on the 17th inst by the New York agent of
the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union to show
cause why he should not be deprived of his
license as a State detective. It was alleged
that he was an unfit person to carry arms, as
he had, at various times, shown unmistakable
symptoms of being mentally unbalanced. Sev-
eral witnesses against him were examined, but
as the chief witnesses were at sea, the hearing
was adjourned until December 8.
Failure is a crime that few forgive.
Union Items.
Organizer Heffernan, of the Atlantic Coast
Marine Firemen's Union, was arrested re-
cently in Newport News, Va., for "illegal
shipping" of a crew for a coastwise vessel,
but is out on bail ($400) pending the court's
decision in the case. The arrest was made at
the instance of the local U. S. Shipping Com-
missioner on the allegation that comrade Hef-
fernan had violated the provisions of R. S.
4504, the text of which reads as follows :
R. S. 4504 — Any person other than a commissioner
under this Title (K. S., 4501-4613), who shall perform
or attempt to perform, either directly or indirectly,
the duties which are by this Title set forth as pertain-
ing to a shipping commissioner, shall be liable to a
penalty of not more than five hundred dollars.
The coastwise trade was exempted, how-
ever, from the provisions of the Title embrac-
ing R. S. 4504, by an act of Congress passed
in 1874. This exemption of the coastwise
trade from the provisions of R. S. 4504 was
re-affirmed by the Maguire Act of 1895, which
act is now in force. It speaks poorly, there-
fore, for the legal acumen of the court offici-
als who granted the warrant for comrade
Heffernan 's arrest, not to mention the evi-
dent official incapacity of the shipping com-
missioner who caused his arrest. It is not
contended that Heffernan charged any ship-
ping fee, and such being the case, he was clear-
ly within his constitutional rights to act as
shipping agent for the master of a coastwise
vessel. Wm. H. Frazier, Secretary-Treasur-
er of the International Seamen's Union, has
enga-ged counsel to defend comrade Heffernan.
The outcome of the case will undoubtedly be
an acquittal.
The ninth annual convention of the Nation-
al Founders' Association was opened in the
Hotel Astor, New York, at 10 A. M. on No-
vember 15, by President Antonio C. Pessano
of Detroit. The opening was attended by
about 450 delegates from all the large cities
throughout the United States and Canada,
and the total capital represented was comput-
ed to amount to $400,000,000. The chief sub-
ject discussed was the efforts of the American
Federation of Labor, and others, to organize
all trades, especially the unskilled trades in
the foundries. It was decided to do every-
thing possible to counteract their efforts, and
the "Open Shop" policy of the Association
was re-affirmed amid much enthusiam. Strong
resolutions were adopted condemning the Iron
Molders' Union of North America for tiying
to force the "Closed Shop" on the Associa-
tion. Co-operation with the National Metal
Trades' Association was suggested, and the
sentiment of the convention was in favor of
such a move.
At the suggestion of Dr. Lee K. Frankel.
of New York, the New York State Confer-
ence of Charities and Corrections, has appoint-
ed a committee to report upon the possibility
of developing a systematic and comprehensive
plan of industrial insurance among working-
men in the United States, which can be applied
to the reliefs of the dependents of the State.
It is proposed to invite the co-operation of
all organizations interested in the subject.

The French bark Anne de Bretagne, from Swansea
for San Francisco, has been towed into Montevideo
with her rudder injured.
Bids were opened at San Francisco on November
24 for the construction of a steamer to replace the
Gipsy, which was lost recently near Monterey. The
Eiidon Iron Works bid of $69,475 was the lowest.
Moran Bros, of Seattle bid $74,475.
The British ship Biversdale has arrived at Victoria,
B. ('., from Acapulco with half of her crew down with
fever. Captain Porter reported that if he had not con-
stantly dosed his men with quinine some would have
succumbed.
The schooner Kineo, from Manila for Sydney, has
put into Brisbane for medical assistance. The crew
is sick with beriberi, and one of the sailors has died.
The Kineo will be docked and cleaned before proceed-
ing.
The bark Gatherer, one of the best known of the old
sailing vessels on this coast, has changed owners and
will leave shortly for the Atlantic, where she will re-
main. She is a vessel of 1509 tons register and was
built at Bath, Maine, in 1874.
The British ship Euphrosyne, which lav in San
Francisco Bay three years fighting union freight, rates,
made such a slow trip to Portland, Or., that the own-
ers in Glasgow inquired regarding the cause of the
delay, and ordered the ship into the drydock.
Victor Metcalf, Secretary of Labor and Com-
merce, has notified the customs department at San
Francisco that freight vessels shall not be allowed to
carry passengers without a passengers' certificate. The
rule includes agents and employes of the vessels
whether carried free or for hire.
The San Francisco Harbor Commission has adopted
a rule prohibiting smoking on any wharf along the
water front, the action being prompted by the narrow
escape of Broadway Wharf No. 2 a few days ago, as
the result of a cigar stub being carelessly thrown on
the wharf.
It is reported that the British ship Garsdale, from
Shields for Oregon, had been dismasted and abandon-
ed off Cape Horn last September, the crew being land-
ed at Greenock. The Garsdale was formerly the ship
Fort James, and was built in 1885 at Belfast. She
was of 1645 tons net register, and was owned by the
Palace Shipping Company in England.
Severe gales along the Pacific Coast of Mexico
have caused great damage to many of the cities
and small towns, aeording to reports received by
the meteorological department of the Government.
High seas swept inland, destroying property at
Manzanillo, Mazatlan, San Bias and a number of
smaller places.
Several lighthouses erected on Canadian islands in
the vicinity of Hecate Strait, by American halibut
fishermen, are reported to have been destroyed by the
Canadian Government fisheries cruiser Kestrel.
American halibut fishermen availed themselves of shel
tering bays on Canadian islands, near the fishing
grounds, from which to operate. Several mouths ago
the Kestrel destroyed one illegal light.
Following is the reinsurance list as posted at Sau
Francisco on November 27: German bark Suzanna,
170 days from Port Talbot for Caleta Buena, 75 per
cent. French bark McMahon, 192 days from Swansea
for San Francisco, 20 per cent. British ship M. E.
Watson, 174 days from Cardiff for Antofagasta, 75
per cent. Italian bark Giuseppe d 'Abundo, 170 days
from Newcastle, Australia, for Valparaiso, 20 per cent.
Good progress is being made on the armored cruisers
California and South Dakota and the protected cruiser
Milwaukee at the Union Iron Works. Some delay is
now and again experienced as a result of red tape at
Washington, but more than ordinary speed is being
observed in the construction of the vessels, though
none of the three will be ready for service for nearly
a year.
The contractors of the Schofield Company who are
preparing to construct the new dock ai Mare Island,
report that in the dredging they have struck a good
blue-clay bottom. It will be remembered that the At-
lantic, Gulf and Pacific Company made the contention
that it was impossible to strike a solid bottom on the
site which the Government had selected for the dock,
and the fact that the present contractors have been
more successful is very encouraging.
The new steamer to be built for the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company, for use on the San Francisco and
Puget Sound route, is to have accommodations for 500
passengers — 300 in the cabin and 200 in the second
cabin, in addition to a capacity for 3000 tons of
freight. Tenders for the construction of this vessel
will be opened on December 20. By that time tenders
will also have been received for the building of a
steam-schooner for the company's use on this Coast.
The British bark River Indus, for some time on the
overdue list, at 30 per cent, has arrived at Montevideo
in distress, 145 days out from Port Talbot, Wales, for
Iquique. The British ship Eskasoni, another recent
overdue, has arrived at Astoria, Or., 188 days out from
Antwerp for Oregon, after 10 per cent for reinsurance
had been quoted. Captain Townsend, in command of
the Eskasoni when she left Europe, is reported to have
fallen from aloft off Cape Horn an. I been killed. The
chief mate took the ship to her destination.
Captain Francis Tuttle, formerly in command of the
revenue cutter Bear, states that from what he has
learned from Captain Bodfish of the whaler William
Baylies, there is absolutely no chance for the whaling
fleet to escape. In his opinion the ships will be
crushed in the ice. The crews will have to desert the
ships and make for the McKenzie river. The fleet is
reported to be sixty miles from Banks Land, which is
500 miles east of the McKenzie. He does not think a
relief expedition could aid them in any way.
The American steamer Buekman arrived at San
Francisco on November 20. sixty-three days and fifteen
hours from New York. Captain Thwing reported that
the passage from the Eastern metropolis had been
without noteworthy incident. The Buekman is owned
by the Barneson-Hibbard Company of San Francisco,
and is to be used in coast service. The steamer Wat-
son, under command of Captain Bartlett, is now out
fifty-seven days from New York and is expected to ar-
rive soon. She is a sister ship of the Buekman, and is
also to be used in the coast, trade.
Advices have been received that the British steamer
Dumbarton has been frozen in on the Siberian Coast.
She sailed from San Francisco some weeks ago, under
charter to the Barneson-Hibberd Company, with a val-
uable general cargo for Nicolaefsk, and was recently
reported as having gone ashore in the gulf of Tnrtary,
twenty-six miles north of Castries Bay, on the Siberian
Coast. Two small steamers which went to her assist-
ance also went ashore. Ice having formed on that
coast, it is not likely that the Dumbarton will be able
to get out until late next spring.
The two new Pacific Mail docks, jutting out from
the foot of Second street, San Francisco, are nearly
ready for use. The sheds that will cover the docks
have not been built, it is true, but the wharves them-
selves are completed, and in a pinch could be used at
any time by the big steamers of the Pacific Mail line.
They are not only commodious, but more substantial
than any other docks along the water front, capable
of bearing a great weight, and calculated to accom-
modate all the traffic that they will be called upon to
bear for many years to come.
The schooner Bella, bound from San Francisco to
Acme, went ashore on November 20 six miles below
the mouth of the Siuslaw river, Or. She ran in too
(dose to shore and tried to beat out, but was stranded
on the beach. No lives were lost, as Hie captain and
crew of seven men were able to walk ashore ;it lot"
tide. The schooner is a total wreck. She carried
seventy tons of general merchandise and was to have
loaded lumber at M. E. Laubert 's mill. She was built
at Acme, Or., in 1896. She registered 147 tons net
and was 121 feet in length, with a beam of thirty two
feet and a depth of hold of six feet.
A big barge that, has been used in the construction
of the breakwater at Port Harford, Gal., broke from
her moorings recently in a stiff blow, and has not
since been seen. The cumbersome hulk is believed I"
be riding on the swells of the ocean off shore, a men
ace to every passing craft, and there is no telling whal
may become of her. A few years ago a similar barge
broke away from its moorings at San Quintin, Lower
California, and was completely lost until news was
received, nine months later, that she had washed up on
the beach of one of the Marshall Islands, beyond mid-
Pacific, after having been carried by shifting currents
more than 4000 miles.
Dr. Hugh S. Gumming, Federal quarantine officer at
San Francisco, lias advertised for bids for laying a
telephone cable across the bay from San Francisco to
the Angel-island Station. For many months the sta-
tion has had no communication by wire with the city
and great inconvenience has often resulted, not only
to Dr. dimming and his assistants, but to steamship
companies and the general public. With the installa-
tion of an independent telephone system, connecting
with the city's lines, the station will be well equipped.
Its boat service was recently greatly improved by the
addition of the tug Neptune, a new vessel, built last
year on the Atlantic Coast.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot reach the disea led
portion of the ear. There is only way to cure deaf-
ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf-
ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear-
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condition, hear-
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out id' ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of

ceiving 67 1-2 pfennigs per hour (16.07
cents) and for extra hours 78 to 82 1-2 pfen-
nigs, or $0,186 to $0.1<)<;. If the work is piece-

doing piecework, and the carriers a like
amount.
The stucco worker receives weekly wages of
42 to 51 marks ($10 to $12.14), i. e., from 83
pfennigs t,» 1 mark ($0,198 to $0,238) per
hour, and for extra work or overwork he re
ceives 1.04 to 1.25 marks ($0,248 to $0,305)

The tiler is not paid as well, receiving 36.45
to 37.80 marks per week, or $8.68 to $9.
The painter receives from 50 pfennigs to 55

which is about 29.70 marks ($7.07) per week.
The tile stove setter receives weekly 48
marks ($11.42) if working on time and lid
marks ($14.28) if doing piecework.
The income of the head waiter at restau-
rants is said to be from 2,520 to 3,120 marks.
or $599.76 to $742.56 per year, and for those
in the hotels even as much as 4,5:50 marks ($1.-

cooks receive annually from 3,120 to 6,720
marks, or from $742. 5(i to $1,599.36, the aver-
age being 4,:520 marks, or $1,028.16.
The cloth weavers, working from ten to
eleven hours each day, earn from !) to 12
marks weekly, or only about $2.14 to $2.86,
and as they are often out of work they would
earn only from 450 to 750 marks, or from
$107.10 to $178.50 per year.
The weavers in factories receive from 15 to
21 marks per week, working ten hours per
day, or $3.75 to $5, and in ease of pi work.
is io 24 marks ($4.28 to $5.17) per week.

SEAMEN'S CASE SUSTAINED.
THE INTERNATIONAL LONGSHORE-
MEN'S ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN IN-
ST IUJCTED BY THE AMERICAN FED-
ERATION OF LABOR TO CEASE USLNC
THE NAME OF INTERNATIONAL LONG-
SHOREMEN, MARINE AND TRANSPORT
WORKERS' ASSOCIATION.
The foregoing is the substance of a telegram
received at San Francisco from the delegates
of the International Seamen's Union attend-
ing the convention of the American Federa-
tion of Labor, which was in session in Pitts-
burg, Pa., from November 13 to 25. inclusive.
To those who are acquainted with the origin
of tin- dispute between Seamen and Long-
shoremen, the convention's decision will re-
quire no explanation. The victory for the
Seamen is complete. When the proceedings
of the convention are at hand, the subject-
matter will be dealt with more fully: for I he
present, the Journal congratulates itself, the
organized and unorganized seamen of Amer-
ica, and organized workers generally.

To-morrow is also a day" is an old motto of
the International Seamen's Union of America.
The day, "to-morrow." has come at last in the
long standing controversy lietween Seamen
and Longshoremen. To the impatient, who
want everything to come at once, we point
with satisfaction to our old motto and repeat
that "to-morrow is also a day!"
BY ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT.
When President Roosevelt issued his now
famous "Executive order," threatening the
immediate dismissal of any Immigration offi-
cial found using undue harshness in the en-
forcement of the Chinese Exclusion law, the
Journal predicted that the order would be
construed as an intimation that laxity, rather
than stringency, was desired in the enforce-
ment of the law. This prediction has already
been borne out by facts. The report of the
Bureau of Immigration for October shows
plainly that there is a marked tendency to-
ward a more liberal construction of the Chi-
nese Exclusion law. The number of Chinese
admitted during October was 293, against 198
in the same month last year. The number de-
ported in the same period was reduced re-
spectively from 46 to 16. The records at San
Francisco show 20(1 Chinese admitted in Oc-
tober of this year, an increase of 76 over the
same month a year ago. Deportations' de-
creased at San Francisco from 34 in October,
1904. to only 7 in October of this year. If
there has been any doubt regarding the effect
which the President's order would have upon
the enforcement id' the Exclusion law, the
figures quoted certainly remove it.
When Mr. Roosevelt was interviewed by
representatives of organized labor shortly
after issuing his modifying order, he stated
that his edict if "properly read" could not
he interpreted, to mean a letting down of the
Immigration bars so far as the Chinese are
concerned. The President is now confronted
with the plain facts, and it is up to him to
issue another "Executive order" explaining
the meaning of his previous order and, inci-
dentally, instructing the Immigration officials
how to read the original modifying order
"properly."
How far the exclusion service has already
been demoralized may be gathered from nu-
merous press dispatches dealing with the sub-
ject. The following significant extracts from
;i n nt Washington dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle are self-explanatory:
It is becoming apparent thai something radical must
be done if general demoralization of the Chinese ex-
clusion system is to be prevented. The President's
views of some weeks ago have frightened the immigra-
tion inspectors to such an extent that arrests of Chinese
are now very infrequent, and the officials of the Bureau
of Immigration declare that the law is being violated
with impunity. Inspectors dare not make arrests in
some cases for fear of mistaking higli-elass Chinese for
coolies, which fact, if discovered, they fear would re-
sult in their instant dismissal under the President 's
order. Accordingly, they prefer to wink at violations
of the law rather than run the risk of losing positions.
The Chinese have discovered this state of affairs
and are taking advantage of it. In certain districts
not far from Washington recently a Chinese under ar-
rest spat upon the immigration inspector and said:
"The Chinese Minister will take care of you; you bet-
ter go slow. "
It is reported at the bureau here that a certain
United States Judge in deciding a case of unlawful
entry said that the evidence (dearly proved the Chinese
in question were unlawfully in the United States, but
he proposed to take his time in ordering them de-
ported. The result was a practical nullification of the
law.
Fewer Chinese have been deported since the Presi-
dent 's order than in any equal period since the exclu-
sion law was enacted, and practically every Chinese
claiming to be of the excepted classes has been per-
mitted to remain.
It is understood that Secretary Metcalf is greatly
concerned over this lax enforcement of the law and
will bring the matter up at a Cabinet meeting. While
the inspectors throughout the country have no warrant
for believing that the Administration is trying to wink
at the evasion of the law, something will have to be
done to reassure them that if they do enforce the law
without fear or favor they will not lose their own
heads.
In view of all that has transpired since the
issuance of the order, it is to be hoped that
the President will acknowledge, before many
more days have passed, that he was in error
and that he made a serious mistake when
threatening "instant" dismissal of officials
for any incivility to Chinese desiring to enter
the country.
CONGRESSMAN GROSVENOR'S TRIP.
Among those who accompanied Mr. Taft on
his recent journey to the Orient was Congress-
man Grosvenor of Ohio, who, it will be remem-
bered by our readers, was mainly responsible
for the defeat of the proposed manning scale
during the last session of Congress. It is to be
hoped that Mr. Grosvenor has absorbed in-
formation by travel. Perhaps he has learned
that American seamen are unknown on the
magnificent American liners which cross the
Pacific in search of the commerce of Asiatic
countries. Perhaps he has also realized that
something must be done to protect American
seamen from Chinese competition. It is prob-
able also that he has changed his opinion re-
garding the manning and efficiency scale — if
he ever contemplated what might have hap-
pened to him and his companions of the Taft
party should circumstances arise which would
make their lives dependent upon the efficiency
of the Chinese crew. Very likely he has
thought of the fate of Rio de Janeiro pa
gers who were drowned within sight, of the
harbor when all could have been saved if she
had carried a complement of efficient Amer-
ican seamen instead of incompetent Chinese
coolies who were unable to understand the
Language of the sbip*s officers and had to lie
addressed through an interpreter.
If Secretary Taft's party excursion did
nothing else than open Mr. Grosvenor's eyes
just a little so that he will in the
future pay just a trifle more atten-
tion to the reasonable demands of Ameri-
can seamen in the halls of Congress, then
this little journey across the Pacific has ac-
complished a great deal in addition to giving
the daughter of President Konsevelt a pleas-
and outing and an opportunity to learn
how it feels to travel like a princess of
royal blood. At any rate we shall not be long
in suspense regarding Mr. Grosvenor's abil-
ity to see tilings as they are, for Congress
will soon convene. Let us hope that our sur-
mises are true !
'1 he Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen has
decided to build an international "Home"
for aged and decrepit members. The Nation-
al Letter Carriers' Association, and several
other labor organizations of national charac-
ter also have the subject matter under ad-
visement. The Seamen's convention at Cleve-
land will take action upon the report of the
National "Home" Committee which was ap-
pointed at the previous convention at San
Francisco to thoroughly investigate and re-
port upon the advisability of establishing a
National Union Seamen's Home. At present
no one knows the disposition of the member-
ship at large regarding the proposed "Home"
and it is likely that the question will be re-
ferred to a referendum. In this connection
we call particular attention to the following
timely views of Samuel Oompers:
There is no good reason why our unions should not,
apart from their protective, trade, and labor features,
• the guarantee to our members for the pay-
ment of benefits by reason of illness, unemployment,
loss of tools, superannuation, traveling, death, etc.,
etc. Surely, recent investigations have demonstrated
beyond question how largely the wage-earners of our
country are mulcted by excessive premiums paid to
so-called insurance companies and societies. Our
unions, by their very economy of administration, by
their experience, as well as by their mutual interests,
do, and can, give greater returns for dues paid than
any other Institution on earth.
It is a singular coincidence that the patri-
otic men who are clamoring the most for the
"Open Shop" are also the strongest advo-
cates of an Open Door for Asiatic coolies.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
A newspaper dispatch from an Eastern
city states that Secretary Taft was cheered
by the people when passing through the
streets. When the common people begin to
cheer for Mr. Taft, the ex-injunction judge,
or Mr. Taft, the warrior, who does not
believe in trial by jury, or Mr. Taft, the spec-
ial pleader for Chinese coolies, there must be
something radically wrong with the common
people — or with the Eastern service of the
Associated press.
To the tenth annual convention of the In-
ternational Seamen's Union of America, meet-
ing in Cleveland, Ohio, on December 4, the
Journal extends greetings and best wishes.
May the deliberations of the convention be
vatched over by the same sweet little cherub
who, according to song and story, sits ever
aloft and watches for the life of poor Jack.
May the decisions of the convention redound
to the best interests of the seafaring people of
the world.
When a thoroughly unionized newspaper in
an American city is officially boycotted, in
the name of organized labor, for having freely
expressed its views during a political cam-
paign, it is time for angels to weep. Those
would-be boycotters of free speech and a free
press should apply to the Russian Govern-
ment for the loan of the censors who are at
present being deposed of their authority!
If the problem of how to rehabilitate the
Merchant Marine of our country would re-
ceive one-half as much attention as is at pres-
ent bestowed upon the perplexing question of
whether to dig a sea-level or a lock canal
across the Isthmus of Panama, it is morally
certain that America would soon lead all na-
tions in ocean-carrying tonnage.
Charges of cruelties by members of the
crews of Maryland oyster vessels appear in
print as regular as society scandals and di-
vorce proceedings. The old-time deepwater
buckos must be quite at home in these oyster
catchers, for convictions are as few and far
between as modern life insurance companies
without a grafting official.
The union label adopted by the so-called
Industrial Workers of the World has made
its appearance on the editorial page of a pub-
lication devoted to anarchism. It is passing
strange that a professed anarchist should be
first to display this emblem of buckhouse-ism
which the Debs and De Leon organs themselves
have so far entirely ignored.
The Northwestern Brewers' Association has
come to the conclusion that it does not pay to
run an Open-Shop brewery. Well, no lesson
learned is more valuable than one that is
taught by bitter experience.
Union label goods of all descriptions are
advertised in the Journal. Always consult
the advertising columns in this paper before
making your purchases.
All union-made tobacco bears the label of
the International Tobacco Workers' Union.
Demand it when purchasing tobacco and
thereby help to abolish child labor.
With the jurisdiction dispute out of the
way, the Seamen's convention will have addi-
tional time and opportunity to build up the
International Union.
Moriturus te Salutat.
To the International Seamen's Union of
America in Convention assembled, greeting:
Forty-six years of seafaring life shall be
our warrant for presuming to address you
on the subject of the American Seaman.
As preliminary to our remarks, we call atten-
tion to a speech made by Judge Humphrey
to the seamen of Honolulu, March 6, 1905,
wherein he said that, "you represent the
brawn and sinews of the nation; to you
and to your brothers, the American Republic
owes a great part of its greatness. There is
not a spot upon the face of the planet where
you have not shown the flag of your country;
there is not a corner you have not penetrated
as the advance guard of commerce and indus-
try." Our distinguished friend and eulogist
might have said nmeh more; he might have
called attention to the heroic conduct and suf-
ferings of the seamen who engaged in Arctic
Exploration under Kane, DeLong and Wilkes,
together with the alacrity with which the
American seamen rushed to the relief of the
ill-fated Greely expedition, the survivors of
which were found at Cape Sabine by the in-
domitable Schley. To an old sailor in his de-
clining years nothing seems so worthy as the
recollections of his early life at sea; to note
the encouraging progress that the seaman has
made, by his own exertions, in the improve-
ment of the conditions surrounding the life
of the "common sailor." The day of the
"Hell-ship" has passed. The seaman, no long-
er cowed and subdued by the brutal methods
formerly in vogue, no longer the drunken
brute, that encumbered and disgraced the
fronts of our seaport towns, holds himself
erect, as a man should, and places himself by
means of his maritime organization in the
front rank of the advancing army of organ-
ized labor.
Ships have changed both in method of con-
struction, and material of which they are
built. The work of the seaman has changed
also, and it is to your credit that the name
of "seaman" has not fallen into innocu-
ous desuetude. Given the opportunity, and
the "seamen" of to-day, and by the term
"seamen" we mean all the men "who go
down to the sea" in ships, no, matter in
what capacity, and we are even willing to
include the "Old Man," we say, give the
opportunity and we will prove worthy suc-
cessors of the man who sailed and suffered
under the explorers of old: Columbus, De
Gama, and Magellan ; of those who braved
the perils of the Arctic winters under Perry,
Franklin and Nansen; of those who fought
under Thordenskjold, Van Tromp, De Suf-
fren, Paul Jones, Nelson and Farragut; men.
who, midst storms of shot and shell, fall-
ing spars and torn rigging, calmly did the
duty required of them; men, who, in the heat
of conflict, could calm the demon of battle in
their breasts and refrain from cheering be-
cause other "poor devils were dying."
Such were the deeds, my comrades, and such
the material of which the "seamen" of the
past were made, and that they have not de-
generated can be proven by the heroic deeds
of the present generation. We have searched
and racked our memory for the recollections
of the past forty years and can recall but. few
instances where any part of the crew of an
American vessel failed in their duty in time of
peril and distress. The loss of life caused by
the atrocious conduct of the Chinese crew of

shoremen, the convention's decision will re-
quire no explanation. The victory for the
Seamen is complete. When the proceedings
of the convention arc at hand, the subject-
matter will be dealt with more fully; for the
present, the Journal congratulates itself, the
organized and unorganized seamen of Amer-
ica, and organized workers generally.
Press dispatches from Pittsburg announce
the re-election of President Samuel Gompers,
Secretary Frank Morrison. Treasurer John B.
Lennon and the entire Executive Board, with
the exception of y7. J. Spencer, who was de-
feated for seventh vice-president by W. D.
Huber. Thomas I. Kidd, for many years on
the Executive Board, declined re-election; his
place was taken by Joseph F. Valentine of
Cincinnati, who defeated W. D. Mahon of De-
troit. Frank K. Foster and James H. Wilson
were chosen as delegates to the British Trades
and Labor Congress, and Thomas A. Rickert
was elected to attend the Canadian Trade-
Union Convention.
Minneapolis. Minn., was selected as the city
in which to meet next year.
To-morrow is also a day" is an old motto of
the International Seamen's Union of America.
The day. "to-morrow," has come at last in the
long standing controversy between Seamen
and Longshoremen. To the impatient, who
want everything to come at once, Ave point
with satisfaction to our old motto and repeat
that "to-morrow is also a day!"
BY ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT.
When President Roosevelt issued his now
famous "Executive order," threatening the
immediate dismissal of any Immigration offi-
cial found using undue harshness in the en-
forcement of the Chinese Exclusion law, the
Journal predicted that the order would be
construed as an intimation that laxity, rather
than stringency, was desired in the enforce-
ment of the law. This prediction has already
been borne out by facts. The report of the
Bureau of Immigration for October shows
plainly that there is a marked tendency to-
ward a more liberal construction of the Chi-
nese Exclusion law. The number of Chinese
admitted during October was 293, against 198
in the same month last year. The number de-
d in the same period was reduced re-
spectively from 46 to 16. The records at San
Francisco show 200 Chinese admitted in Oc-
tober of this year, an increase of 76 over the
same month a year ago. Deportations' de-
creased at San Francisco from 34 in October,
1904, to only 7 in October of this year. If
there has been any doubt regarding the effect
which the President's order would have upon
the enforcement of the Exclusion law, the
figures quoted certainly remove it.
When Mr. Roosevelt was interviewed by
representatives of organized labor shortly
after issuing bis modifying order, he stated
that his edict if "properly read" could not
be interpreted. to mean a letting down of the
Immigration bars so far as the Chinese are
concerned. The President is now confronted
with the plain facts, and it is up to him to
issue another "Executive order" explaining
the meaning of his previous order and, inci-
dentally, instructing the Immigration officials
how to read the original modifying order
"properly."
How far the exclusion service has already
been demoralized may be gathered from nu-
merous press dispatches dealing with the sub-
ject. The following significant extracts from
a recent Washington dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle are self-explanatory:
It is becoming apparent that something radical must
be done if general demoralization of t lie Chinese ex-
clusion system is to be prevented. The President's
views of some weeks ago have frightened the immigra-
tion inspectors to such an extent that arrests of Chinese
are now very in frequent . and the officials of the Bureau
of Immigration declare that the law is being violated
with impunity. Inspectors dare not make arrests in
Some cases for fear of mistaking high-class Chinese for
coolies, which fact, if discovered, they fear would re-
sult in their instant dismissal under the President's
order. Accordingly, they prefer to wink at violations
of the law rather than run the risk of losing positions.
The Chinese have discovered this state of affairs
and are taking advantage of it. In certain districts
not far from Washington recently a Chinese under ar-
rest spat upon the immigration inspector and said:
"The Chinese Minister will take care of you; you bet-
ter go slow. ' '
Tt is reported at the bureau here that a certain
United States Judge in deciding a case of unlawful
entry said that the evidence clearly proved the Chinese
in question were unlawfully in the United States, but
he proposed to take his time in ordering them de-
ported. The result was a practical nullification of the
law.
Fewer Chinese have been deported since the Presi-
dent 's order than in any equal period since the exclu-
sion law waa enacted, and practically every Chinese
claiming to be of the excepted classes has been per-
mitted to remain.
It is understood that Secretary Metcalf is greatly
concerned over this lax enforcement of the law and
will bring the matter up at a Cabinet meeting. While
the inspectors throughout the country have no warrant
for believing that the Administration is trying to wink
at the evasion of the law, something will have to be
done to reassure them that if they do enforce the law
without fear or favor they will not lose their own
Iliads.
In view of all that has transpired since the
issuance of the order, it. is to be hoped that
the President will acknowledge, before many
more days have passed, that he was in error
and that he made a serious mistake when
threatening "instant" dismissal of officials
for any incivility to Chinese desiring to enter
the country.
CONGRESSMAN GROSVENOR'S TRIP.
Among those who accompanied Mr. Taft on
his recent journey to the Orient was Congress-
man Grosvenor of Ohio, who, it will be remem-
bered by our readers, was mainly responsible
for the defeat of the proposed manning scale
during the last session of Congress. It is to be
hoped that Mr. Grosvenor has absorbed in-
formation by travel. Perhaps he has learner]
that American seamen are unknown on the
magnificent American liners which cross the
Pacific in search of the commerce of Asiatic
countries. Perhaps he has also realized that
something must be done to protect American
seamen from Chinese competition. It is prob-
able also that he has changed his opinion re-
garding the manning and efficiency scale — if
he ever contemplated what might have hap-
pened to him and his companions of the Taft
party should circumstances arise which would
make their lives dependent upon the efficiency
of the Chinese crew. Very likely he has
thought of the fate of Rio de Janeiro passen-
gers who were drowned within sight of the
harbor when all could have been saved if she
had carried a complement of efficient Amer-
ican seamen instead id' incompetent Chinese
coolies who were unable to understand the
language of the ship's officers and had to be
addressed through an interpreter.
If Secretary Taft's party excursion did
nothing else than open Mr. Grosvenor's eyes
just a little so that he will in the
future pay just a trifle more atten-
tion to the reasonable demands of Ameri-
can seamen in the halls of Congress, then
this little journey across the Pacific has ac-
complished a great deal in addition to giving
the daughter of President Roosevelt a pleas-
and outing and an opportunity to learn
how it feels to travel like a princess of
royal blood. At any rate we shall not be long
in suspense regarding Mr. Grosvenor's abil-
ity to see things as they are, for Congress
will soon convene. Lei us hope that our sur-
mises are true!
The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen has
decided to build an international "Home"
for aged and, decrepit members. The Nation-
al Letter Carriers' Association, and several
other labor organizations of national charac-
ter also have the subject matter under ad-
visement. The Seamen's convention at Cleve-
land will take action upon the report of the
National "Home" Committee which was ap-
pointed at the previous convention at San
Francisco to thoroughly investigate and re-
port upon the advisability of establishing a
National Union Seamen's Home. At present
no one knows the disposition of the member-
ship at large regarding the proposed "Home"
and it is likely that the question will be re-
ferred to a referendum. In this connection
we call particular attention to the following
timely views of Samuel Gompers:
There is no good reason why our unions should not,
apart from their protective, trade, and labor features,
become the guarantee to our members for the pay-
ment of benefits by reason of illness, unemployment,
loss of tools, superannuation, traveling, death, etc.,
etc. Surely, recent investigations have demonstrated
beyond question how largely the wage-earners of our
country are mulcted by excessive premiums paid to
so-called insurance companies and societies. Our
unions, by their very economy of administration, by
their experience, as well as by their mutual interests,
do, and can, give greater returns for dues paid than
any other institution on earth.
It is a singular coincidence that the patri-
otic men who are clamoring the most for the
"Open Shop" are also the strongest " advo-
cates of an Open Door for Asiatic coolies.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
A newspaper dispatch from an Eastern
city states that Secretary Taft was cheered
by the people when passing through the
streets. "When the common people begin to
cheer for Mr. Taft, the ex-injunction judge,
or Mr. Taft, the warrior, who does not
believe in trial by jury, or Mr. Taft, the spec-
ial pleader for Chinese coolies, there must be
something radically wrong with the common
people — or with the Eastern service of the
Associated press.
To the tenth annual convention of the In-
ternational Seamen's Union of America, meet-
ing in Cleveland, Ohio, on December 4, the
Journal extends greetings and best wishes.
May the deliberations of the convention be
watched over by the same sweet little cherub
who, according to song and story, sits ever
aloft and watches for the life of poor Jack.
May the decisions of the convention redound
to the best interests of the seafaring people of
the world.
When a thoroughly unionized newspaper in
an American city is officially boycotted, in
the name of organized labor, for having freely
expressed its views during a political cam-
paign, it is time for angels to weep. Those
would-be boycotters of free speech and a free
press should apply to the Russian Govern-
ment for the loan of the censors who are at
present being deposed of their authority !
If the problem of how to rehabilitate the
Merchant Marine of our country would re-
ceive one-half as much attention as is at pres-
ent bestowed upon the perplexing question of
whether to dig a sea-level or a lock canal
across the Isthmus of Panama, it is morally
certain that America would soon lead all na-
tions in ocean-carrying tonnage.
Charges of cruelties by members of the
crews of Maryland oyster vessels appear in
print as regular as society scandals and di-
vorce proceedings. The old-time deepwater
buckos must be quite at home in these oyster
catchers, for convictions are as few and far
between as modem life insurance companies
without a grafting official.
The union label adopted by the so-called
Industrial Workers of the World has made
its appearance on the editorial page of a pub-
lication devoted to anarchism. It is passing
strange that a professed anarchist should be
first to display this emblem of buckhouse-ism
which the Debs and De Leon organs themselves
have so far entirely ignored.
The Northwestern Brewers' Association has
come to the conclusion that it does not pay to
run an Open-Shop brewery. Well, no lesson
learned is more valuable than one that is
taught by bitter experience.
Union label goods of all descriptions are
advertised in the Journal. Always consult
the advertising columns in this paper before
making your purchases.
All union-made tobacco bears the label of
the International Tobacco Workers' Union.
Demand it when purchasing tobacco and
thereby help to abolish child labor.
With the jurisdiction dispute out of the
way, the Seamen's convention will have addi-
tional time and opportunity to build up the
International Union.
Moriturus te Salutat.
To the International Seamen's Union of
America in Convention assembled, greeting:
Forty-six years of seafaring life shall be
our warrant for presuming to address you
on the subject of the American Seaman.
As preliminary to our remarks, we call atten-
tion to a speech made by Judge Humphrey
to the seamen of Honolulu, March 6, 1905,
wherein he said that, "you represent the
brawn and sinews of the nation; to you
and to your brothers, the American Republic
owes a great part of its greatness. There is
not a spot upon the face of the planet where
you have not shown the flag of your country;
there is not a corner you have not penetrated
as the advance guard of commerce and indus-
try." Our distinguished friend and eulogist
might have said much more; he might have
called attention to the heroic conduct and suf-
ferings of the seamen who engaged in Arctic
Exploration under Kane, DeLong and Wilkes,
together with the alacrity with which the
American seamen rushed to the relief of the
ill-fated Greely expedition, the survivors of
which were found at Cape Sabine by the in-
domitable Schley. To an old sailor in his de-
clining years nothing seems so worthy as the
recollections of his early life at sea; to note
the encouraging progress that the seaman has
made, by his own exertions, in the improve-
ment of the conditions surrounding the life
of the "common sailor." The day of the
"Hell-ship" has passed. The seaman, no long-
er cowed and subdued by the brutal methods
formerly in vogue, no longer the drunken
brute, that encumbered and disgraced the
fronts of our seaport towns, holds himself
erect, as a man should, ami places himself by
means of his maritime organization in the
front rank of the advancing army of organ-
ized labor.
Ships have changed both in method of con-
struction, and material of which they are
built. The work of the seaman has changed
also, and it is to your credit that the name
of "seaman" has not fallen into innocu-
ous desuetude. Given the opportunity, and
the "seamen" of to-day, and by the term
"seamen" we mean all the men "who go
down to the sea" in ships, no. matter in
what capacity, and we are even willing to
include the "Old Man," we say, give the
opportunity and we will prove worthy suc-
cessors of the man who sailed and suffered
under the explorers of old: Columbus, De
Gama, and Magellan: of those who braved
the perils of the Arctic winters under Perry,
Franklin and Nansen; of those who fought
under Thordenskjold, Van Tromp, De Suf-
fren, Paul Jones, Nelson and Farragut; men.
who, midst storms of shot and shell, fall-
ing spars and torn rigging, calmly did the
duty required of them; men, who, in the heat
of conflict, could calm the demon of battle in
their breasts and refrain from cheering be-
cause other "poor devils were dying."
Such were the deeds, my comrades, and such
the material of which the "seamen" of the
past were made, and that they have not de-
generated can be proven by the heroic deeds
of the present generation. We have searched
and racked our memory for the recollections
of the past forty years and can recall but few
instances where any part of the crew of ;in
American vessel failed in their duty in time of
peril and distress. The loss of life caused by
the atrocious conduct of the Chinese crew of

Marine Notes.
The Canadian governmenl has sent out of-
ficial notice that all lights in Canadian waters
are to i<> kept burning until Dee. 15.
An explosion of coal gas which accumulat-
ed in the hold while the steamer Hackett was
burning is Baid t<> have scattered the cargo
of the boal so that little can he saved. The
hull of the boal now lies in thirty feet of
Mate]- oil Cedar liver. 1ml the insurance ad-
justers do not think thai anything can he
saved from the wreck.
The passenger steamer Eastland has been
libeled by the Armstrong Cork Co. for a hill
of $1,591.50 for 2,000 life preservers furnish-
ed the steamer last spring. The libel will be
contested by the owners of the boat, as there
has been objection to the payment demanded
by the cork company. The Eastland is now
in winter quarters at South Chicago.
The body of Austin Mayhew. watchman on
the barge Tasmania, was found recently on
the beach just east of Fairport. It was badly
decomposed. Mayhew's home is in Court-
right, Ont. The Tasmania foundered near
Southeast shoal and although a search was
kept up Tor aboul ten days the body of
Watchman Mayhew is the only one of the
crew thai has been found.
The foundation I'm- an immense drying and
heating building Eor the treatment of ore is
beinjr laid by the Zenith Furnace Company
near the water front at the company's plant
in Wesl Duluth. The purpose of the new
structure is to keep the ore from freezing
during the winter, and it can also be used for
the drying of ore in the summer. Tins is
especially necessary during heavy rains.
E. IT. Fitzhugh, third vice-president of the
Grand Trunk Railway System, bid in the big
car ferry Grand Haven at foreclosure auction
sale recently at Milwaukee. The price paid
was $186,131, the amount of the first mort-
Lnsurance, and cost of the sale. Ad-
ditional added to the
Grand Haven-Milwaukee run - fast as the
new owners can arrange for u
i he I Lumber shipments from Lake
Superior for the season are 975,000,000 feet
as compared with 923,000,000 feet for 1904.
The shipments to Nov. 1 amounted to 827,-
000,000 feet. The heaviest movement from
Lake Superior in any other year was in 1902,
when the shipments amounted to 1,075,000,-
000 feet. The season of 1905 will, therefore
be greater than last year and only about 100,-
000,000 feet less than the record of three sea-
sons ago. The shipments of lumber from
I 'ninth this year will he greater than ever,
amounting to about 450,000,000 feet.
The steamer Maruba has been sold by the
Pittsburg Steam Ship Company to Capt. W.
•I. Basset of Collingwood, Ont. Capt. Bassett
is master and owner of the Wexford. He is
well and favorably known to most steamboat
men. In 1902 he sailed the new steamer
Huronic, in 1893 he sailed the steamer City
of Collinywuod that carried passengers to the
world's fair in Chicago. A notable feature
about Capt. Bassett is that he owns every cent
in the Wexford and was one of the first of
Canadian Captains to carry a full union
crew.
WrecK of the Arg'o.
The passenger steamer Argo, of the Gra-
ham & Morgan line, which lefi Chicago on
November 23 for Holland. .Mich., struck a
shoal early on November 24, while trying to
make the harbor during a 50-mile -ale and
was smashed agansl the north pier. Helpless
and partly wrecked, the steamer with its load
<if passengers v. as tossed about by the tre-
mendous sea. finally stranding 500 feet from
shore.
The life-saving crew attempted to reach
the ship with boats. Inn failed. As it was
realized that immediate action musl be taken
to prevent loss id' life, a line was shot out to
the ship, and a breeches buoy was used to re-
move Hie passengers The wind's fury in-
creased as the life-savers worked, rising to a
speed of fifty-three miles an hour at noon.
All the passengers and crew were rescued.
The Argo is a steel vessel, 17:! feel long,
valued at $40,000. It will probably cost
000 to $30,000 to refloat and repair her.

The Merkle-Wiley Broom Co.. of Paris, 111.,
are placing a small round label on the brooms
th'.v manufacture, about the same size of the
Broom Makers' Union Label, bearing the in-
scription, "Xot Prison Made." This firm has
two factories, one at Paris, 111., run under the
name of the .Merkle-Wiley Broom Co.. and
•' ther at Charleston. III., known as the
Charleston Broom Co. These factories here-
were Onion factories, and used the
Broom Makers' Union Label, but arc now
Using a fake label to mislead and fool the un-
suspecting public.
The (inn locked their employes mit in the
month of November, 1904, on account of them
refusing to submit to an open shop proposi-
tion and a reduction in wages. At the begin-
ning of the lockout, they tilled orders with
prison-made brooms, purchased from prison
contractors, who employ none but convict
labor. The firm is the largest of its kind in
the Middle West, and ship brooms into every
State in Hie Union. The Broom Makers have
been waging an unceasing boycott against
this firm, and they have reduced their output
fully one-half, and have interested the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor in their struggle,
and have had the firm placed on the "We
Don't Patronize" list. Tn a letter recently
received from the General Secretary of the
Broom Makers, he says this firm, in connec-
tion with the fake label, are having the words
"Union Made" placed in good size letters in
the corner of their business label. Unionists
sin uld not be deceived by the tricks of these
tricksters, bul should insist on having the
Broom Makers' Blue Union Label. It is
placed under the wire at the finish of every
broom.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Moritvirixs te Salxitat.
(Continued from Page 7.)
the steamer "Rio de Janeiro," lost in San
Francisco harbor, stands out conspicuously as
a warning' aginst the employment of cheap
and incompetent men, while the cowardly con-
duct of four sailors (or things called
by that honorable name) on the ship
"New York," lost a few miles below
San Francisco, give the lie direct to
those who have constituted themselves the
eulogists and champions of the "little brown
men," the four cowardly seamen of the "New
York" being Japanese.
We might fill volumes, however, if we at-
tempted to cite the various heroic actions, in-
dividual and collective, of the American sea-
man during the last quarter century. The
hardships and vicissitudes suffered and en-
dured by the crews of stranded whalers
would, alone, fill a volume. The "fine-spun"
yarns related around the "galley" stoves of
our Gloucester fisherman, the dreary mid-
night watch of the "Life Saving Patrol,"
with their dauntless courage in the rescue of
the crews of shipwrecked vessels, make a sea-
man's heart throb and swell more than would
the possession of the millions of Rockefeller.
We would not appear as detracting one jot
or tittle from the achievements of the soldier
or other of our "land-lubber" friends, but
the soldier's every act is noted and blazoned
forth by the "correspondent in the field,"
and if he lives he is promoted in rank and dec-
orated with glittering medals in front of his
admiring comrades; the fireman, who, climb-
ing -to dizzy heights on a flimsy escape, or
swaying ladder, and bearing a fainting wo-
man or helpless child to safety, receives the
plaudits of the assembled spectators, as an in-
centive to more heroic deeds; the policeman,
who, at the risk of his life, stops a runaway
team, or defends the property of the sleeping
millionaire from the midnight burglar, re-
ceives, not only the approbation of the "daily
press," but is called before his superior offi-
cers, is thanked and praised, or receives a med-
al to remind him and his children of "duty
faithfully performed."
Poor Jack, "unhonored and unsung," the
"poor and despised" able seaman, leaving his
family in the dead of winter, embarks on a
"frail" old tub, unsound, but well insured,
often badly provisioned, and with scanty sup-
ply of water, forgetting his own danger and
discomforts, fights with the angry elements
' for the safety of ship and cargo, and, after
many nights and days of strenuous work of
reefing, stowing and making sail, with an oc-
casional "rest" of two or three hours at the
pumps, arrives safely in port with "not a
rope yarn sprung." The manly "able sea-
man" in command, with "pride of heart and
mien" for the conduct of bis crew, hastes to
report his safe arrival, and is met with the
query: "Where in hell have you been all
the winter? We gave you up as lost!" and
that closes the incident as far as "Jack" is
concerned.
What stories could be told by our comrades
of the "Great Lakes" concerning their bat-
tles with the "little white devils" and the
"lee shore" of which the disasters of the past
summer are but typical.
Though admonished that our space is lim-
ited, we cannot close this article without re-
ferring to the close connection of the Ameri-
can seaman with the needs of his country. In
commenting upon the results of the Spanish-
American war, Admiral Dewey is credited
with saying that "one of the lessons learned
was that the 'cheap man' is not needed, that
he is a danger, and is detrimental to the ser-
vice."
In spite of the wagon loads of evidence in
possession of the Navy Department, relative
to the necessity of having trained seamen to
man our warships, the "experts" have evolv-
ed no better system than of sending recruiting
officers throughout the inland States to tempt
the bucolic youth to enlist, by lying stories of
adventures in foreign lands.
We know, from service both in the Navy
and the Merchant Marine, that a "silk purse
cannot be made out of a sow's ear," that you
cannot make man-o'-war'smen out of men who
ought to be breaking broncos. It is asserted
in some quarters that the modern man-o'-war's-
man is more of a mechanician than a sailor.
Granting the truth of the assertion we still
contend that the qualities which were pos-
sessed by the man-o'-war'smen of our early
days, and which are still possessed by the men
in the Merchant Marine, are as necessary to
the man behind the gun at the present time as
they were in the early days of Farragut and
Dewey.
We may be mistaken in our premises, but
we believe that, without an inbred love for the
sea, no man can be a thorough seaman. He
must love the sea as a miser loves his gold;
if he does not he will not readily sub-
mit to the hazards and hardships incidental
to a seafaring life. He must possess all the
habits of sea life — sea legs, sea stomach, sea
vision. He must have physique, activity, hard-
iness; power to stand considerable change of
climate and of enduring prolonged spells of
exceptionally hard work. He must be effici-
ent in boat work, anchor work, and have a
general seaman-like knowledge of all things
pertaining to a ship. He must, or should
have, intelligence and trustworthiness, alert-
ness, readiness of resource, quickness of de-
cision, and all the qualities which may be in-
cluded in the word "smartness."
Such, my comrades, are the qualities which
are possessed by the able seaman, some one of
which is required of you every day you serve
at sea, and some of our "chicken-headed"
judges in San Francisco have no more con-
ception of our profession than to "probate"
professional criminals, provided they go to
sea.
It will be a proud day when the Interna-
tional Seamen's Union can boast that they
have on their roster 50,000 such men as indi-
cated in our remarks. Perhaps, we will not
be here to witness that achievement, but it is
certain that the day is fast approaching when
the desired result will be consummated.
In conclusion we would say that, notwith-
standing the hardships endured, the dangers
incurred, and the lives lost in our strenuous
calling, the true-born sailor long.s for the
smell of the salt, salt sea, as a mother yearns
for her lost babe, and when his increasing age
and infirmities prevent him from following
his vocation, and ho is consigned to "rotten
row," like an old hulk which has "accomp-
lished her day," he still feels proud of what
he "has been" and asks for no more honor-
able epitaph than: "lie was a true Shipmate
and an Able Seaman."

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
The West Virginia, one of the ships in
Admiral Evans' squadron, is what the sail -
ore' call "a floating workhouse." It is re-
ported that during a certain night while she
steaming up the coast recently, past Jer-
sey Beach and bound for New York, some of
the sailors went over the side forward in
boatswain's chairs and painted in black let-
ters four feet high on the surface of the white
hull, this sign :
ARNOLD'S SANITARIUM,
BULLDOG GEORGE, KEEPER.
The meaning of this will be understood
when it is known that the West Virginia is com-
manded by Captain Arnold, and that "Bull-
dog George" is the saltwater nickname of her
executive officer. The sign was not discovered
until the West Virginia was coming up the
Narrows the following morning, when tie
mander was notified of its existence by wire-
less telegraph from the Massachusetts — and
maybe there wasn't a rumpus! What!
Secretary Daniel Sullivan, of the Atlantic
Coast Marine Firemen, desires all branch
agents of his organization to keep a sharp eye
on the men who scabbed when the Marine Fire-
men were locked out by the United Fruit Co.
of Boston. As that company now has an agree-
ment with the Marine Firemen to carry only
members of that organization in the stoke-
holds of their steamers, the loyal members of
the organization should be given the prefer-
ence of shipping in those vessels at all times.
If the branch agents are not watchful, how-
ever, some of the traitors to the Union during
the lockout may sneak in occasionally on a
United Fruit Co. steamer, and this should be
discountenanced by all means. A member
who is a traitor to his union in time of stress
is doubly a scab, and should be made to see
the evil of his course in a manner that will
make a lasting impression on his mind.
The Inter-Church Conference on Federation,
a body representing nearly all the Pro-
testant faiths of the country, and some
18,000,000 communicants, began a week's
session in New York on the 15th inst ..
with a view of effecting a nation-
al federation of the churches repp
ed. Now that the churches have approved
of the principle of organization as a means
of both attack and defense, Mr. Post will have
to close-reef his "mantle of liberty" lest his
"individualism" should be blown from the
bolt ropes.
"Obey orders, even if you break owners,"
is a good old salt water rule which does not
seem to be appreciated on shore, as that West-
ern Union telegraph operator in Norfolk found
out who refused to transmit an unpaid mes-
sage sent by President Roosevelt, because it
was contrary to the rules of the company to
do so. He got bounced for it. Here is a
chance for Mr. Boosevell to show the West-
ern Union snob directors what he thinks of
their toadyism by requesting them to reinstate
the operator.
Some of the Eastern papers are saying of
the combination Beamen-engineers of our navy
that they are "a lot of half-baked engineer-
ing smatterers who are a positive menace to
the navy and its future," etc. It is wonder-
ful how wise some people get to a thing after
they have seen how it works.
Fag Ends.
Rejecting new ideas is a trait peculiar to
fools.
Work for the Initiative and the Referen-
dum and the Recall!
The happy medium is always best — to
minds with medium ambitions blest.
The things that vain men value most are
those that are most coveted by others.
"What men call " chance " is but hidden
order beyond the ken of the human mind.
Character is said to be a poor man's capi-
tal, which probably explains why he is so poor.
Far greater assets than mere wealth and
fame are a clear conscience and an honest
name.
Our hopes lie in the future, our memories
in the past ; hut in the ever present our des-
tinies are cast.
Each time we're disappointed we wish
it had been otherwise, yet many a disappoint-
ment is but a blessing in disguise.
"Who shall decide in morals, what is what"
With casuistry recondite some say, "Do
this." while others say, "Do that." and each
insists that he is right!
The philosophy of "philosophers in over-
alls" has the advantage over speculative phil-
osophy that it is right fresh from the field
where philosophy grows, the world of labor
and achievement.
The statement of a Chicago physician that
automobiles are a sure cure for indigestion
is undoubtedly true for after a fellow has been
run over by an automobile he will surely he
rid of his indigestion and every other ailment
he may have, and he ready for the undertake]-.
There are two classes of men who do right.
One class does right from a simple sense of
justice and without any ulterior motives. The
other class docs right from a sense of expedi-
ency, a feeling that "it pays." and always
with their weather eve open for returns in
kind. There is as much difference between
these two classes of men as there is between
honesty and "honest graft"
The secret of success seems to he as elusive
as the secret of the philosophers' stone. Some
say it is concentrator! ; some are positive it
is thrift, while others are equally sure it is
economy, or sohriety. or talent, or applica-
tion, or natural ability, or shrewdness, or good
judgment, or what not. And yet, a man may
have all the qualifications enumerated above,
and a good many more of the same kind, as
well as all the accomplishments of the admir-
able Crichton, and yet fail to attain success
as that term is understood nowadays. On
the other hand, a man may back every quali-
fication which the authorities on "How to
Succeed" say he must possess in order to suc-
ceed, and yet succeed simply by "striking
out at the right time." All this would set-m
to indicate that the clue to the secret of suc-
cess is not likely to be found by any one who
overlooks the elements of opportunity in the
make-up of success.

w
pHEN the seventh day's session of the con-
vention opened, President Gompers intro-
duced Mr. E. A. Calvin, of the Farmers '
Educational and Co-operative Union, an or-
ganization which has declared emphatically for co-
operation with the organized labor movement. Mr.
Calvin conveyed fraternal greetings from his organi-
zation; he also told the Federation of the passage of
a resolution by the farmers to buy only union-made
goods, and asked the co-operation of organized labor
in the fight against cotton speculation.
Delegates Furuseth and Foster, for the Committee
on President 's report, presented a lengthy report,
which reads, in part, as follows :
Industrial Stagnation Averted.
We deem it of great importance that the word
which the President has said upon this subject should
be accentuated, for here we get down to the very es-
sence of the economic philosophy of trades unionism.
For generations labor has been reckoned with as an
inert commodity. Professors have formulated aca-
demic theories of the law of supply and demand;
buyers of labor and of the products of labor have
assumed that these laws were inexorable, not subject
to modification by the seller of the labor commodity.
But labor is not an inanimate commodity. It is a
part of the life and the being of the laborer, and as
such is under the control of the volition of the laborer.
The resisting and defensive power of the laborer 's
will has germinated in the soil, and under the inspira-
tion of all that makes for a. higher civilization. It has
been nurtured, shaped and developed by the trades
union, until by its collective expressic.i it disproves
false political economy, bids the panic halt, becomes
the governor of the industrial engine and opens up
vistas of accomplishment for the public. What united
labor wills it may achieve. Should not the experience
of the past two years inspire us to so arouse the slug-
gish brain and timid hearts of the non-union masses
that they may join us in opposing a united will against
all forces which would lower the standards of life?
Labor 's Key to Growth.
Your committee also desires to add its emphatic en-
dorsement to what the President has said as to the
desirability and necessity of higher dues and wider
benefits in the trades union movement. We do not
underrate the value of the fraternal and sentimental
bonds which unite our memberships, but these bonds
are strengthened instead of weakened by the posses-
sion of ample financial resources in our treasuries. In
its capacity as a labor exchange, the trades union
cannot exempt itself from the necessity of compliance
with sound business principles. It is only wildcat
schemes of finance which profess to pay out more than
is received into the treasury. Altruism, most com-
mendable as a virtue, cannot coin money or draw un-
limited sight drafts upon its bankers. Trades unions
whose members are taught to, or who expect, in times
of trouble, to rely entirely upon the generosity of oth-
ers are industriously weaving ropes of sand. Trades
unions should practice the doctrine of self-help, in
order that there may be no weak links in the mighty
chain of our defenses.
Jurisdiction Disputes.
We agree with your President, that there is no short
cut to the elimination of jurisdiction disputes. It is
the nature of men individually and collectivly, to hold
and increase themselves in authority. In the degree,
however, that the spirit of true unionism percolates
into the consciousness of contending factions, may we
not venture to hope that prejudice will be allayed, the
discipline of the expressed majority will be more
cheerfully observed, and mutual conciliation pave the
way to solidarity in our movement?
Mongolian Exclusion.
The committee recommends concurrence by the
Convention in the views expressed and the action taken
by the President in this matter.
The committee appreciates the sentiments expressed
by President Roosevelt regarding the maintenance of
"our National policy towards Chinese immigration."
It appears, however, that that policy is endangered by
the "executive order" recently issued by the Presi-
dent of the United States. The statistics of Chinese
immigration since the issuance of the "executive or-
der" show a marked increase, attributable mainly to
relaxation in the enforcement of the Chinese Exclus-
ion Act. This fact should be called to the attention
of President Roosevelt, in accordance with the latter 's
suggestion to President Gompers and Vice-President
Duncan. The Chinese Exclusion Aet and all similar
legislation should be enforced primarily in the in-
terests of the American people.
If inconvenience or hardship necessarily arises from
the enforcement of such legislation, the fact is to be
regretted; but it cannot be taken as in any degree jus-
tifying a departure from the procedure which experi-
ence shows is necessary for the purposes in view.
The Chinese Exclusion Act should be maintained
intact. Particular efforts should be made to pre-
vent the adoption of any measures looking to an
enlargement of the number embraced under the "ex-
empted classes." The present exemptions in this re-
gard are sufficiently liberal for all purposes of justice
to the Chinese, and cannot be enlarged without in-
justice to ourselves.
We should insist upon that construction of the law
which declares that all Chinese, other than members
of the "Exempt classes," are excluded from the
United States and all territory thereof.
Attention is drawn to the fact that numbers of
Chinese are now employed in the Navy Yard at Cavite,
Philippine Islands. Protest should !»' made against
this action on the part of the authorities in that Local-
ity, as being a violation of the spirit of the law and
calculated to weaken the moral effect of the latter in
the minds of our wards in those islands.
The committee regards it as imperative that earn-
est, vigorous and sustained action be taken to check
the influx of Japanese and Korean labor. The evil
arising from the competition of this class of labor is
already well pronounced and is rapidly increasing.
Unless effectively checked the American people musl
prepare to surrender their right to the occupanej and
use of American soil in many important sections of our
country. The committee, for these reasons, recom
mends adoption of the following substitute for Reso-
lutions 9 and 11 :
"Whereas, The menace of Chinese labor, now great-
ly allayed by the passage and enforcement of the
Chinese Exclusion Act, has been succeeded by another
similar in general character but much more threaten
ing in its possibilities, to-wit : The immigration to
the United States and its insular territory of large and
increasing numbers of Japanese and Korean laborers;
and
' ' Whereas, The American public sentiment against
immigration of Chinese labor, as expressed and crystal-
lized in the enactment of the Chinese Exclusion Act,
finds still stronger justification in demanding prompt
and adequate measures of protection against the im-
migration of Japanese and Korean labor on the
grounds (1) that the wages and living standards of
such labor are dangerous to and must, if granted rec-
ognition in the United States, prove destructive of the
American standards in these essential respects; (2)
that the racial incompatibility as between the peoples
of the Orient and the United States presents a problem
of race preservation which it is our imperative duty to
solve in our own favor, and which can only be thus
solved by a policy of exclusion ; and
"Whereas, The systematic colonization of these
Oriental races in our insular territory in the Pacific,
and the threatened and partly accomplished extension
of that system to the Pacific Coast and other western
localities of the United States constitutes a standing
danger not only to the domestic peace, but to the con-
tinuance of friendly relations between the nations
concerned ; therefore be it
"Resolved, By the American Federation of Labor,
in its twenty-fifth annual Convention, that the terms
of the Chinese Exclusion Act should be enlarged and
extended so as to permanently exclude from the Unit-
ed States and its insular territory, all classes of Jap-
anese and Koreans, other than those exempted by the
present terms of that Act; further
"Resolved, That these resolutions be submitted,
through the proper avenues, to the Congress of the
United States, with a request for favorable consid-
eration and action by that body.
As the report of the Committee on President 's Re-
port was not complete, action thereon was deferred.
Steam Fitters' Dispute.
A resolution which provided that a charter lie issued
by the convention to the International Association of
Steam, Hot Water and Power Pipe Fitters and Helpers
of America, was reported favorably by the commit-
tee on organization.
The Steam Fitters' organization has been outside of
the Federation for some time as the result of a juris-
diction dispute with the Plumbers, which was referred
to arbitration, the decision of the arbitration being
that the Steam fitters should amalgamate with the
Plumbers. The decision proved unsatisfactory and
was the cause of several serious controversies in
various cities, central bodies being compelled by the
American Federation of Labor to expel unions of
Steam Fitters that had not abided by the decision,
but maintained allegiance to the Internationa] (or Na-
tional) Union of Steam fitters.
When the committee's report was before the COUVen
t.ion, Vice-President John Mitchell raised the point
of order thai three years had not elapsed since a de
cision had been rendered in the Plumbers-Steam fit
tors' dispute, and further, thai tin- Steam filters had
1 1 < ' t made a statement to the Federation of the juris
diet ion i bej claimed, as required by law.
President Gompers refused to rule on the point of
order oil' hand, and the matter was passed temporarily.
At the afternoon session Mite hell | tated he had learn d
that the Steam Fitters had filed a Statement regard
ing the jurisdiction they claimed, bid he contended
thai other constitutional provisions he had quoted
would prevent the convention airring in the com-
mit ice 's report .
President Gompers then ruled mi the point of order
" ed by Mitchell, staling that "apart from the con-
tional provisions that are quoted in support of the
point of order, we cannot escape Erom one which is
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
paramount to those that were quoted. Section 1 of
Article XIV of the Constitution says:
•■ 'Certificates of affiliation shall he grunted by the
President of the Federation, by and with the consent
of the Executive Council, to all national and inter-
national unions and local bodies affiliated with this
Federation.'
"In view of the fact that the constitution," con-
tinued Mr. Gompers, "provides that the President, by
and with the consent of the Executive Council, is the
only constituted authority to issue charters, it is not
within the province of the convention to issue char-
ters. The point of order is therefore sustained."
In reply to a question as to whether the commit-
tee's report could not be amended by "recommending
ructing the Executive Council to grant a char-
ter to the Steam Fitters," President Gompers replied
that the "Convention has a perfect right to recom-
mend, to authorize or to instruct its officials to do any-
thing which the convention desires."
A motion to instruct the President ami the Execu-
ouncil to issue a charter to the Steam Fitters
was also ruled out of order. An appeal was taken
from the derision of the chair, and the appeal was lost
on a rising vote by 118 in favor of sustaining the
chair to 50 against.
The following motion wi
Dold of the Chicago Federation of Labor:
"I now move that this convention recommend to the
executive Council that they grant a charter to the
Steam Fitters' OTganizatio
An amendment was ruled out of order by \ ice
President Keefe, who occupied the chair. The motion
was then discussed at great length by a number of
A roll call was finally ordered and the mo-
tion was carried by a vote of 8351% ayes to 5580%
nays, delegates representing 503 votes not voting.
The question of issuing a charter to the Steam
is therefore now before the Executive Council, with
commendation of the convention by the heavy
vote quoted to back it up.
EIGHTH DAY.
Delegate Frank K. Foster for the Committee on
President's Report submitted a supplementary report,
which reads, in part, as follows:

printers tire now engaged, as your President has well
pointed out, is not one which Can be regarded i
from the standpoint of that craft. Entered into onlj
after careful deliberation, after other means of settle
ment had been exhausted, and with the unanimous ap-
proval of the San Francisco convention. The printers'
present struggle must be considered as in which all
of our affiliated bodies have a direct concern. More
than this, as the Citizens' Alliance during its i
tion last week adopted resolutions pledging its moral
and financial support to the members of the Typothe-
tae in their attempt to throttle the printers' eight-hour
movement, it is therefore peculiarly incumbent upon
us to accept the gage of battle there flung down, and
to declare our steadfast determination to hold up the
hands of our brethren who are on the tiring line.
The Typographical Union lias, by an overwhelming
referendum vote, levied a substantial assessment upon
its working members. It has already established the
eight-hour day in _(is cities and towns. With the pro-
vision already made by the assessment levied by the
Executive Council and its own resources, it estimates
that the movement is amply provided for for the re-
mainder of the year. We, therefore, recommend that
the convention reaffirm its solemn pledge to support
the International Typographical Union in its
battle for the eight-hour day, indorse tin' course of the
Executive Council in levying an assessment
mend that the Executive Council continue this support
if the necessity should still exist after January 1,
1906, in SUCh degree as in its judgment the exigencies
Of the case demand and the limitations of expediency
and the constitution permit.
The various sections of the Committee on Presi-
dent's Report were then taken up and adopti
Cept the section referring to the Western federation
of Miners. Action on this was deferred until further
information on the questions raised had been
before the committee.
The report id' the Committee on Grievances was next
taken up.
A resolution was adopted directing that in all lit-
erature and charters issued by the American Federa-
tion of Labor "all references to painters, decorators,
hardwood finishers and work controlled by the Brother-
hood of Painters. Decorators and Paper Hang
eliminated,'' when referring to other than the organi-
zation named.
In the matter of dispute between tin- Upholsterers
and Carriage and Wagon Workers regarding the action
of the latter in claiming work in automobile factories
belonging to the former, the committee recommended
that representatives of both organizations meet in con-
ference on the question.
All parties concerned (including Brewery Workmen)
appeared before the committee and agreed that here-
after the following resolution would be lived up to:
"That when- there is sufficient cooperage tor the
employment of one or more men, said men -shall belong
tn the Coopers' International Union."
Representatives of tic Bridge and structural Iron
Workers and tin: Boiler Makers appeared before the
committee and agreed that representatives of i.
ganizations meet in conference with a member of the
Executive Council and define the line id' jurisdiction.
The Wood, Wire and Metal Lathers' Intern.
Union delegates introduced long resolutions charging
the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers with having
chartered organizations of Metal Lathers, contrary to
Federation law, anil instructing the Bridge and St i in-
tural Tron Workers to revoke the chart oca] No.
90 of Baltimore and Local Xo. 78 of San Francisco.
The committee recommended that representatives of
both parties and a member of the Executive Council
meet in conference and endeavor to draw up a work-
ing agreement. This was agreed to by bolh parties
in interest and approved by the convention.
The position of the Executive Council in refusing
to issue a charter to the Beer Pump Workers was in-
dorsed.
The Brotherhood of Painters complained that the
Carriage and Wagon Workers continually ignored the
action of tic Boston convention conceding to the
Brotherhood jurisdiction over all painters employed in
the carriage and wagon industry. The convention
adopted a resolution instructing the Carriage and
Wagon Workers to comply with the orders of the Bos
ton convention "forthwith, without evasion and de-
lay," and instructed the Executive Council to see thai
ision of the Boston convention was enforced.
The Bakery and Confectionery Workers' delegation
introduced a resolution condemning the action of the
Philadelphia Central Labor Union in issuing a Labor
Day Souvenir containing advertisements of unfair
firms. The convention concurred in the following sub-
stitute :
"Your committee recommends that the practice of
publishing souvenir books indulged in by central
bodies and State Federations he discontinued. "
A resolution was adopted providing that decisions
of conventions on jurisdiction disputes must be en-
forced by the Executive Council within six months
after adjournment of convention unless further delay
imI to by all parties concerned.
In the matter of the disputed agreement! between
ainters and the Wood Workers, the committee
found that the agreement was in force for several
months before the death of one of its signers before
being repudiated. The commit tie therefore recom-
mended that the agreenv at be approved by the con-
vention and considered in full force until both parties
shall come together in conference and make a new one
or abrogate the old one. The convention adopted the
committee's recommendation by a vote of 101 to 22.
President Gompers introduced T. V. Powdeily, who
made a short, but felicitous Bpeech.
NINTH DAY.
The Brewery Workmen vs. Engineers and Firemen
matter was before the convention, but consideration
was deferred and the Seamen-Longshoremen dispute
taken up.
vs. Longshoremen.
In the matter of the controversy between the Sea-
men and the Longshoremen, the Committee on Griev-
made the following recommendations:
"That each organization shall select two persons,
and that the four so selected shall meet within sixty
days from the adjournment of this convention to select
a fifth person, and in the event of failure to agree
upon such fifth person within ten days, the President
of the American Federation of Labor, with the ap-
proval of the Executive Committee shall select the
fifth person.
"The five persons so selected shall constitute an
arbitration board, whose decision shall be final ami
binding upon both parties.
"Pending decision of this board, all hostilities be-
tween these two organizations shall case.
"And we further roc mend that this con.
instruct the Longshoremen's Association to discontinue
ime 'International Longshoremen, Ma-
rino and Transport Workers' Association,' and that no
change in title lie granted, assumed or maintaii
cept in accordance with the findings of the arbitration
board. ' '
Discussion on the question occupied the rest of the
morning session, and was resumed in the afternoon.
The record of the debate as printed ill the official re-
port of the proceedings is published and dealt with
at length on page (> of this issue.
\n aye and nay vote was finally taken on the adop-
tion of the committee's report. and Vice Pi
Duncan, who occupied the chair, declared he believed
lion to adopt hail carried. A roll call was asked
for, but the call was not supported l>.\ a sufficient
number of delegates, and Vice-President Duncan then
Bd 1 lie mot ion to adopt was carried.
Secretary Morrison read a long telegram from Pres-
ident Moyer and Secretary Sayw 1 of the Western
Federation of Miners, in which tiny stated they had
sent by registered mail an exhaustive reply to Presi-
dent Compels' criticisms of the milliner in which they
had used the money contributed by the American Fed-
eration of Labor and its affiliated organizations. They
I they had fought numerous cases iii the courts
to maintain the rights of citizenship, and concluded
as follows :

earnestly request that you instruct your financial offi-
cers to draw on us. sight draft, for one thousand do!
lars, the amount donated to the Colorado miners a'
tin- I loston convent ion. ' '
TENTH DAY.
Whin President Gompers asked if there were any ob-
jections to dispensing with the reading of the minutes
of the previous day. the following statements were
made relating to the action of the convention ill the
ii Longshoremen dispute:
Delegate Keel', — 1 ask for a change in the ruling of
the chair last evening on the demand for a. roll call.
The chairman claimed there were but twenty-nine who
demanded the roll call, and that that was not a Buffi
cient number. I want to ask the chair whether, in ac-
cordance with the law of the American Federation of
l.alior. it is necessary that the number of delegates
who have presented credentials and have been Seated
are to constitute the number from which those who de-
sire a roll call on a question are to be considered. I
should like to know, in other words, if the liuui
quired to demand a roll .all must | ae-tenth of all
the delegates whose credentials were accepted and who
tithd to seats in the convention; or whether it
is the number of delegates seated in the convention at
the time the roll call is asked for?
President Gompers — As far as the question that
ite Keefe has raised is concerned, that matter
should at the time have been pressed to its conclusion.
That is, if a decision was rendered which did not meet
the views of any number of delegates, the question of
the test of the sense of the convention should have
(I. That decision cannot now be reviewed in
that partiohiar case. The matter has gone beyond
ilia l stage.
Delegate Keefe — I wish to say, regarding the recom-
mendation of the committee, that it means compulsory
arbitration, which is coercion, which we are not really
compelled to accept, because it is voluntary in so far
as we are concerned; but the change of the name of
the organization it carries with it, is the one feature
we are not entirely (dear on, nor are the delegates rep-
resenting our organization clothed with power nor au-
thority to make the change. Our conception of the
recommendation of the committee is that this com-
mittee on arbitration meet and render a binding de-
cision. Does that take precedence over the organiza-
tions interested, or do they have some voice in the mat-
ter? We are not clothed with power, as I stated be-
fore, to make any changes in the name of the organi-
zation. That name was given our organization in con-
vention, and only a convention of our own organiza-
l ion can modify that name or change. I make that
statement for the purpose of having all the delegates
and officers of the American Federation of Labor un-
derstand that we are willing to do everything that is
consistent, but we cannot do a physical impossibility.
Whatever ret .lion is made by the arbitration
commit- :!l not only endorse, but shall advo-
th all the power at my command its adoption
by our organization. I merely want to make that
statement so that we will not be accused of refusing
to carry out in good faith any arrangement this con-
tention may make regarding our organization. We
want to carry out the mandates of the convention as
tar as lies within our power. And in order that the
question will not be raised in any future convention,
and the statement made that the representatives re-
fused to comply with the mandates of the convention,
I want to at least go on record as indorsing any prop-
osition agreed to by the arbitration committee, and
appealing to our organization with all the force at my
Command to accept and agree to it.
President Gompers — That is all a man can do; it is
ail an officer of the organization can do. Delegate
Keel, can do no more than his level best to have his
organization accept the expressed opinion of the high-
est court of the labor world in this country. It i3
more than likely that better results would be obtained
if that policy wen- more generally pursued.
Brewery Workers vs. Engineers and Firemen.
The dispute of the Brewery Workers vs. The Engi-
neers ami Firemen occupied a great part of this day's
session. The convention finally reaffirmed the d" is,, n
o the San Francisco convention.
W 1 Workers vs. Carpenters.
The long-standing jurisdiction fight between the
Wood Workers and Carpenters was disposed of by the
unanimous adoption of the following:
First — That a temporary trade agreement be enleieil
mto ii\ the General Executive Board of the United
rl 1 of Carpenters and Joiners of America and
the General Council of the Amalgamated Wood Work-
ers' International Union to cover all men working in
and factories.
Second— That pending these negotiations, the offi-
,, is of both organizations immediately notify all local
unions under their respective jurisdictions to cease all
hostilities.
Third — That duly selected representatives of both
organizations shall meet at Indianapolis, Ind., on Jan-
uary Ho. 1906, and there and then endeavor to arrive
at such a mutual trade agreement, understanding or
amalgamation as may by them lie deemed of the best
possible interests of the trades and crafts.
It is the request of the undersigned that President
Gompers participate in the conference, not as an arbi-
trator, but in an advisory capacity.
The report was signed by the delegates representing
the two organizations affected.
ELEVENTH DA Y.
The first business was the report from Thomas 1.
Kiihl for the Committee on Education.
On that portion of the report, of the Executive Com-
mittee entitled "Legislation, Administration Re
Labor," the Committee reported as follows:
"We recommend to the Convention that the Execu-
tive Council be authorized to appoint a legislative
committee to secure the enactment of measures in the
ts of labor, and to prevent the passage of meas-
ures inimical to its interests. We note with regret
B party in power has failed to carry into effect
its promises for an eight-hour law, an anti-injunction
law and a law to protect free labor against the evil
effects of convict labor; and we indorse the attitude
of your Executive Council in holding the dominant
party responsible for the failure of American labor
to receive much-needed legislative relief."
On motion the report of the Committee was adopted.
On that portion of the report, of the Executive
Council entitled "Shorter Work Day," the Committee
reported as follows:
"Relative to the eight-hour work day, we recom-
mend that authority be given your Executive Council
to outline a shorter-hour, propaganda, that in its wis-
dom it may consider likely to contribute to the estab-
lishment of a universal eight-hour work day."
On motion the report of the Committee was adopted.
A long discussion followed the introduction of res,,
dinned on Page 7.)

Otir •" Newspapers."
If any proof were needed of the general
hypocrisy of the daily press and the nature
of its "mission" as an educational institution,
it is furnished by the neglect of the newspa-
pers to keep the public informed of the pro-
ceedings of the recent convention of the
American Federation of Labor. Here were
gathered the representatives of over two mil-
lion American wage-earners, deliberating upon
issues of national importance and taking the
preliminary steps in shaping matters that will
ultimately assume concrete form in legisla-
tion affecting the weal of the whole country.
But, did the press sit up and take notes ? Not
much. Quite a number of newspapers ( ?)
completely ignored the whole convention of the
A. F. of L., while others printed the news
concerning its doings in that tabloid form pe-
culiar to the column usually headed "Brief
News for Busy Readers." But the latest
prize-fight between Spike Layemout and Kid
Faker was chronicled with a wealth of detail
— and pictures — unsurpassed even in the
realm of dime-novel fiction. The "measure-
ments" of the combatants, from the crowns of
their heads down to the soles of their feet,
were marshaled in parallel columns, and their
"records" duly recorded. Every round of the
fight was minutely reported, and the whole
was copiously illustrated with flash light pic-
tures taken at the ringside, and artistic re-
productions of the "fighting face" of the
winner and the prostrate form of the loser
being counted out by the referee. Other im-
portant happenings, such as the vain search
for Raffles, the latest divorce scandal, ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland going duck hunting, what Mr.
Roosevelt thinks about race suicide and foot-
ball, how young Witless lost $50,000 at the
races, etc., etc., were also accorded their ample
space which their paramount importance en-
titled them to. But the doings of the conven-
tion of the A. F. of L. "Nothin doin' " gen-
tlemen. And yet, if nothing less than being
fooled all the time will suit us the press may
as well be the instrument as not.
When we note the haughtiness of capital
and the small esteem in which it holds labor,
we receive confirmation of the curious prone-
ness of the human mind to base its judgments
on artificial rather than on natural distinc-
tions. Every sane man knows that even if
every cent of capital were to perish from the
earth mankind would still get along somehow,
but without labor the world would be a howl-
ing wilderness inside of a month. Yet we in-
sist in crowning capital as the Dives of mod-
ern industrialism, and view labor as the Laz-
arus, sitting on the doorstep of Dives' man-
sion, begging for the crumbs from the abun-
dance of his table! No wonder our civiliza-
tion is a puzzling array of incongruities that
thinking men find hard to reconcile with any
known conception of sanity, when we have re-
versed the natural economic order in relation
to the production of wealth and the absorption
thereof !
"Hope deferred maketh the heart sad,"
and the hope that we' will ever be anything
but a race of fools in process of evolution
seems far enough from realization to make any
one sad.
A Partial Commissioner!
The four-masted schooner Stanley H. Minor
arrived recently in New York with a cargo of
lumber from the Satella River. While lying
in the river, one of her crew was taken ill with
malarial fever and was sent to the hospital in
Brunswick, Ga., for treatment. After eleven
days ' absence he was returned to the vessel
cured and completed the voyage to New York.
On arrival in New York the crew was paid off
before the United States Shipping Commis-
sioner. The seaman who had been sick dur-
ing the voyage then found that by the ruling
of the Shipping Commissioner he was docked
eleven days' pay and railroad fare from the
Satella River to Brunswick, Ga., and return.
He refused to accept this reduction of his pay.
Being a member of the Seamen's Union he ap-
plied to August Gildermeister, the local agent
of that organization, for assistance in his
claim against the vessel. Comrade Gilder-
meister first went to the Shipping Commis-
sioner and remonstrated with him on the il-
legality of holding up a sick seaman's pay, but
in vain. He next secured from the Union's
lawyer copies of court decisions bearing upon
the illegality of making any deductions from
a seaman's pay on account of unavoidable
sickness. These copies were shown to the
Shipping Commissioner, but he still refused
to rescind his ruling in the case of the sick
seaman on the Stanley H. Minor. Thereupon
Comrade Gildermeister prepared to libel the
vessel for the full amount of wages due the
complaining member. In the meantime, the
owners of the vessel got wind of the trouble
and requested a postponement of the libel case
until the master could be consulted with re-
garding the claim. The upshot of it all was
that the sick seaman received his wages in full
as well as extra pay for the time he had been
kept waiting.
At a recent meeting of the Essex Trade
Council, of Newark, N. J., objection was
raised against the seating of the delegates
from the newly-organized Martial Corps Pro-
tective Union No. 1. This organization is
composed of fife and drum corps of the Na-
tional Guard, and the objection to the seating
of their delegates was based upon the possi-
bility that in the event of a strike the citizen
soldiers might be called upon to take up arms
against, and perhaps shoot down, union men.
Thereupon, it is reported, a delegate
arose and said that in his opinion it
would be a good idea to unionize the
regular army as well as the milita, so that
if any trouble arose requiring the presence of
soldiers their international officers could call
them out on strike. This caused considerable
discussion, which ended with the seating of
the delegates from Martial Corps Protective
Union No. 1.
Unionism and Politics.
Shipping on the Atlantic Coast continues
middling to fair. Seamen are rather scarcer
than usual at this season of the year. Freights
are normal in most of the trades with a fair
amount of business doing. The outlook for
the coming winter is therefore rather encour-
aging.
The movement for a national organization
of school teachers on trade-union lines, as
might be expected, is not hailed with acclaim
by the press organs of the "better classes."
The New York World, for instance, says of it:
Trade-unionism aiming teachers, as a national move-
ment, would have to deal with widely differing local
conditions, according to the State, town and city con-
ditions. That it would accomplish more for the better-
ment of the profession than is being accomplished by
normal methods is more than doubtful. The introduc-
tion of politics into the schools alone would be a griev-
ous blunder.
Two things suggest themselves to the care-
ful reader of the above — first, that trade-
unionism is regarded by our intellectual moss-
backs as "abnormal," and, second, that to the
same sort of minds trade-unionism and "per-
nicious activity in politics" seem to be corre-
lated and coextensive. This attitude of the
"safe, sane and conservative" press on trade-
unionism is, however, only a consistent phase
of that general attitude on all public questions
directly affecting the welfare of the plain peo-
ple, which stamps the press of the day as the
most highly developed institution for fooling
the people all the time. With it all, organized
labor can console itself with the reflection that
the most progressive men and movements in
the world's history have been the most misrep-
resented.
Labor in the "South."
'Tis strange that where a few strive to ex
eel, most are content with doing "fairly
well"!
The South does not want the lower classes of foreign-
ers that have swarmed into the ports of the East. It
wants the kind of people who have built up the West.
— Baltimore Sun.
Well, "the kind of people who have built
up the West" were not Mongolians, but, judg-
ing from the clamor of some of the Southern
newspapers for the free and unlimited supply
of Chinese and Japanese coolies, one is con-
strained to think that what the Baltimore Sun
really has in mind when it speaks of "the men
who have built up the West" are the men who
furnished the capital, and not the sturdy New
England, Scotch, Irish, English, German and
Scandinavian settlers who supplied the labor.
The South to-day does everything to encour-
age the investment of capital in its natural re-
sources, and about everything to discourage
the coming into its territory of the kind of
laborers who built up the West. What is
there to attract good North European Labor
to a section of our country where the press is
almost a unit in praising the superiority of
Mongolian labor over Caucasian labor, where
negro labor is deemed too expensive and not
servile enough, and where the evil of child-
labor has assumed such dimensions that the
gaze of the whole country has been attracted
to, and shocked by, it?
The following delegates represent the
Atlantic Coast at the tenth convention of the
International Seamen's Union of America:
Win. H. Prazier and August Gildemeister, of
the Seamen's Union; James T. Mahoney and
Wm. Robertson, of the Marine Firemen's
Union; and Henry P. Griffins of the Cooks
and Stewards' Association. The delegates
from the Seamen's Union have been charged
with the duty of representing to the conven-
tion the desirability of a uniform rale of dues
for all the organizations affiliated with the
International Seamen's Union.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Pacific Coast Marine,
It is reported that the French bark General Neu-
mayer, from Hamburg for Oregon, has put into
Buenos Ayres in a leaky condition.
A million dollars in Mexican money was taken
aboard the Occidental and Oriental liner Doric at San
Francisco. The coin is consigned to Shanghai.
The Russian cruiser Lena, which was interned at
Mare Island during the Russian-Japanese war, sailed
from Honolulu on December 2, for Vladivostok.
Repairs to the steamer Brunswick, which was dam-
aged to the extent of about $3000 at Fort Bragg, were
made at the United Engineering Works, at San Fran-
cisco.
The Navy Department will send the battleship Ore-
gon, on her return from the Philippines, to the Navy
Yard at Bremerton, where she is to undergo an exten-
sive overhauling.
The Standard Oil barge formerly known as No. 93,
and which was brought to the Coast by the steamer
Atlas some months ago from New York, is hereafter
to be officially known as Barge No. 3.
The new turbine steamship Maheno, to take the
place of the Moana on the Sydney and Victoria route,
is to make her first' trip in March. She will be the
first turbine steamer in the Pacific.
Word has reached Vallejo that the Princeton will
be ordered to Mare Island for necessary repairs in-
stead of going to Bremerton, as was announced from
Washington some little time before her return from
the Isthmus.
The French bark Max is again at San Francisco,
having arrived from Swansea with coal after a pas-
sage of 141 days. The Max will be remembered as
the vessel that collided with and sank the steamer
Walla Walla off the Mendocino Coast on January 2,
1902, while the steamer was bound to Pugct Sound.
It is stated that the crew has left the British steamer
Dumbarton, which was lately reported to have gone
ashore in the Gulf of Tartary, a few miles north of
De Castries Bay, on the Siberian coast. The Dumbar-
ton sailed from San Francisco some time ago with a
cargo for Nicolaefsk under charter to the Barneson-
Hibbard Company.
Captain Z. J. Hatch of the Monticello Steamship
Company, is to have another steamer built to handle
the traffic of the Vallejo and Napa interurban electric
road. It is to be built somewhat on the style of the
General Frisbie, and will be 200 feet long and have
a twenty-nine-foot beam. The contract is to be let
to a San Francisco firm in the near future.
The dykes which have been constructed in the bay
at Mare Island, have proved to be such a success in
the deepening of the channel that the yard authorities
have asked for another appropriation of $100,000 for
additional work along the same lines. This will be
taken up at the coming session of Congress, and it is
believed will receive favorable consideration.
The ship Occidental, from Nome, arrived at Port
Townsend on November 28. Captain Kessel reports
that his was the last vessel to leave Nome and naviga-
tion from there is now closed. Owing to a strike of
longshoremen, it was impossible to discharge his cargo
and the vessel was forced to return with 400 tons of
freight. The Occidental brought many sacks of mail.
The steamer Dakota arrived at Seattle on November
29 from Japan and China, making a better run than
her sister ship, the Minnesota. This was the Dakota 's
initial voyage. The Great Northern Steamship Com-
pany, operating the two steamships, has announced a
new second-class round-trip rate of $250 to Hong-
kong. Heretofore the only round-trip rates have been
first class.
The man who is to occupy the new steel lighthouse
on the Mile Rock and keep lonely vigil over the mar-
iners ' beacon will not be entirely shut out from the
world. A telephone cable is to be laid from the Gol-
den Gate life-saving station to the new Mile Rock
light. The telephone will not only be a source of
comfort and convenience to the keeper, but will in all
probability be found a valuable aid in reporting cases
of distress outside the heads.
Collector Stratton of San Francisco is in receipt of
a communication from the American Consular Agent
at Hakodate, Japan, informing him that the law of
siege at that port has been withdrawn and that the
mines laid in the approaches of the harbor have_been
either exploded or removed and that vessels may now
enter and leave Hakodate the same as prior to the out-
break of the war, there being no obstructions in any
of the regular approaches to the port.
After lying at anchor in San Francisco bay for sev-
eral weeks, the flagship Chicago, Captain Badger,
sailed on December 2 for Honolulu for an indefinite
stay. Rear-Admiral Goodrich is aboard the Chicago.
It is likely that other vessels of the Pacific squadron
will follow the flagship to the island port, and one or
two of the torpedo-boat destroyers may also join her
at Honolulu. The naval collier Saturn, with a full
cargo of coal aboard, sailed for Honolulu several days
ago.
Following is the reinsurance list as posted at San
Francisco on December 4: German bark Suzanna, 177
days from Port Talbot for Caleta Buena, 65 per cent.
French bark McMahon, 199 clays from Swansea for
San Francisco, 20 per cent. Italian bark Giuseppe
d'Abundo, 177 days from Newcastle, Australia, for
Valparaiso, 20 per cent. British bark Almora, 194
days from Cardiff for Acapulco, 25 per cent. British
bark River Indus. 154 days from Port Talbot for
Iquique, 30 per cent.
The schooner John D. Spreckels, Captain Pederson,
returned to San Francisco on December 1, much the
worse for her experience with gales off the northern
coast. The schooner was bound for the codfishing
banks, and sailed from San Francisco some days ago.
On November 19 and 20 she struck a gale from the
northwest that carried away the bowsprit and forest ay
and started the house, stanchions and rail. The cop-
per sheathing on the bottom also start oil to loosen,
causing the vessel to leak.
According to a decision received yesterday from the
Department of Commerce and Labor, the matter of
issuing new mariners' licenses to seamen who had been
dispossessed of their licenses because they had secured
them through having fraudulent navigation papers,
rests witli the local inspectors. The Department says
it is the duty of the Board of Inspectors to make dili-
gent inquiry as to the character as well as the qualifi-
cations of an applicant for a mariner's license, and if
they are satisfied that he is all right they shall grant
him his papers.
More seaworthy and more attractive in appearance
than ever before, the Oceanic liner Alameda sailed
through the Golden Gate on December 2, bound for
Honolulu. Two months ago, almost to a day, the Ala-
meda went high on the rocks at Fort Point, in a fog
while on her way out for Honolulu, ami lias ever since
been under repair. It is estimated that fully $90,000
has ben spent upon her, this money representing not
only what the repairs actually cost, but the expense of
thoroughly overhauling the steamer. Captain Thomas
Dowdell is still in command of the Alameda.
Rudderless, but otherwise in good trim, and with all
on board well, the steamer Roanoke arrived at San
Francisco on December 2, from Portland and Eureka,
after a trying experience in gales off the Northern
California coast. There were times when it looked
bad for the Roanoke, as she wallowed in the trough of
tremendous seas without the power to keep a course,
but good fortune hovered over the vessel, and the
fifty-seven passengers and the members of the crew,
and in spite of heavy seas and frightening storms all
hands came to port in cheerful mood.
Another of the old-time whaling barks is to be sent
back to New Bedford, Mass. On November 29 the
Alice Knowles sailed out of the Golden Gate for the
last time, under orders to end her cruise at the old
New England port, where whalers in this country first
became famous. For nearly a generation this stout
old whaler has made San Francisco her rendezvous and
home port. She has done well on many a cruise, but
of late the catch in the Pacific has been small, and
now the owners look to the whaling ground of the
South Atlantic for their best catch.
One hundred and thirty sailing vessels left European
ports during the months of May, June and July, bound
to Pacific Coast ports of North, South and Central
America. Of these sixty-two were British, thirty-four
French, twenty-seven German, four Italian, two Nor-
wegian, one Russian and one Danish. It is a notice-
able fact that not one American vessel appears in the
list. Of the total number that sailed fifty-two have
arrived safely at their destinations, four have been
wrecked, twenty-two have put into ports in distress
with sundry damages sustained off Cape Horn, and
fifty-three have not yet arrived or been accounted for.
News comes by way of the northern Coast that Cap-
tain Watts and his crew from the lost American ship
Susquehanna had a narrow escape from death at the
hands of the Solomon Islanders. Captain Watts ' boat
reached San Cristoval, in the Solomon group, 500 miles
from the wreck, and all hands were safe. The mate 's
boat put into Santa Ana, in the same group, where the
natives were menacing. The men landed, however, and
occupied a hut belonging to an ex-chief. This man died
soon afterward and his death was attributed to the
presence of the whites. The mate and his men were
attacked, but succeeded in reaching their boat and
putting to sea. They were later picked up by the
trading schooner Aola and landed at San Cristoval.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country
than all other diseases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis-
ease and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hun-
dred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

Tse Tsi Chan (in English Mr. Thomas See)
who was appointed Chinese adviser and in-
terpreter on the East Rand mine — a position
carrying a salary of £600 per annum and free
quarters — has thrown up his billet in horror
at the crueltes inflicted upon his countrymen
by the mine owners, and is now on his way to
China to make known to his countrymen the
conditions of life and labor in the Transvaal
under the indenture system.
The strong counts in his indictment are
that the Chinese laborers on the Eand are so
badly fed that they could not live and work
unless they materially supplemented the ra-
tions now served out by buying extra food,
and that the meat supplied to them is of very
inferior quality ; that the work they are called
upon to perform is of such an arduous na-
ture and so badly paid that the coolies' aver-
age earnings are barely enough to carry them
along; and that their treatment generally is
brutal and unjust, tending to keep them in
servitude longer than the three years for which
they sign on, and to so seriously endanger
their lives that he anticipates less than 50 per
cent of them living to see China again !
For slight offenses, he alleges, they are
handcuffed and imprisoned in the compound
office for a day or two, and are continually
being knocked about by the white foreman,
whilst if a coolie fails to drill by hand two
feet per day, or is absent from work, he is
"rim in" and fined 10s to £4, or sentenced
from a couple of weeks to two months' hard
labor.
Sometimes, however, to save trouble, he is
"dressed down" with a sjambok. Mr. See
swears that during the course of his residence
on the Rand no Chinese laborer arraigned for
any offense, escaped conviction, a word from
the "white boss" prosecuting being all that
was required to sheet the charge home.
In some mines — the New Croesus and the
French Rand mine are specially mentioned! —
the treatment of the coolies is said to be worse
than even in the New Comet mine, whereof
Mr. See speaks apparently from his own per-
sonal knowledge. Chinese punishments such
as wooden stocks and beating with poles, as
well as severe sjambokings, thrashing with
pick handles, and foodless confinement in
dark cells are, he alleged, resorted to at these
mines. On the French Rand mine Dr. Chang
told him that laborers received up to 50 lashes
with the sjambok, and that he had three men
in hospital for over two weeks under treat-
men for the injuries received in flogging.
Possibly Mr. Sec exaggerates, but it is hard
to believe that a man would throw up £600
a year (to say nothing of free quarters) un-
less his very soul revolted at the treatment
meted out to his countrymen. They, he says,
describe the mines as "this hell in South
Africa," and some of them believe that they
must have committed some great wrong in
their previous existence to justify the punish-
ments they are now undergoing in the Trans-
vaal. —Brisbane (Queensland) Worker.

WKDXKSDAY,
DECEMBEB 6, L905.
FEDERATION SUPPORTS SEAMEN.
As briefly stated in last week's issue, the
long-standing dispute between Seamen and
Longshoremen has at last been definitely
acted upon by the American Federation of La-
bor and as confidently expected by every per
son familiar with the subject, the decision of
the Federation favors the Seamen. The Pitts-
burg convention, on November 22, instructed
the Longshoremen to "discontinue the use of
the name, 'International Longshoremen, Ma-
rine and Transport Workers' Association.' '
This action determines the whole question at
issue. It only remains for the Longshoremen
to respect the decision of the convention, and
good feeling based upon mutual respect and
confidence will be re-established between the
two crafts.
The proceedings in the Pittsburg conven-
tion were thorough, leaving no doubt as to its
understanding of the subject. Contrary to ex-
pectation, based upon the complaints made by
the Longshoremen's officials to the Executive
Council of the Federation during the past
year, the latter presented no formal charge
against the Seamen to the convention. The
matter came before the convention in that
part of the report of the Executive Council
reading as follows:
SEAMEN— LONG SIIOR EM EX .
The controversy between the Seamen's ami tin-
Longshoremen's Unions has reached, an acute stage,
particularly on the Pacific Cos
We have endeavored to stop the strife between these
two organizations but with little avail, and can only
ress our keen regret thereat and hope that a way
out may be found by which both may be enabled to
co-operate to their mutual advantage.
This report, in itself less definite than had
been expected, was referred to the Committee
on Grievances. The latter held extensive
hearings on the question, as presented by the
representatives of both sides. During the
hearings the entire subject was reviewed in
complete detail. The Committee reported as
follows :
SEAMEN VS. LONGSHOEEMEN.
Representatives of both these organizations appear-
ed before your committee and after a careful consid-
eration of the Subject matter, the committee make's
the following recommendation:
That each organization shall select tun person
that the four so selected shall meet within sixty days
from the adjournment of this Convention to select a
fifth person, and in the event of failure to agree upon
such fifth person within ten days, the President of the
American Federation of Labor, with the approval of
the Executive Council, shall select the fifth person.
The five persona so selected shall constitute an arbi-
tration board, whose decision shall be final and bind-
ing upon both parties.
Pending decision of this board, all hostilities be-
tween these two organizations Bhall cease.
And We Further Recommend That This Convex-
how [nstbuct the Longshoremen 's Association
to imscoxtintk the use op the name " inter-
NATIONAL Longshoremen, Marine and Transport
WORKERS' Association," and That No Change in
Title He Chanted, Assumed OR Maintained Except
in Accordance with the Findings op the Arbitra-
lOARD.
The debate on the motion to adopt the rec-
ommendation of the Committee occupied the
entire day. In order that all interested
parties may have the fullest information of
the proceedings, we herewith reprint that part
of the official minutes covering the subject:
It was moved and seconded that the report of the
committee be adopted.
The question was discussed at great length by Dele-
gate Furuseth, of the International Seamen's Union,
and Delegate Barter, of the International Longshore-
men's Association. * * *
Delegate Macarthur discussed the question at great
length, and prefaced his discussion with the follow-
ing statement : The language of the committee is
susceptible of but one construction. It means, first
of all, arbitration, and to that proposition the Inter-
national Seamen's Union of America heartily sub
scribes. It means, secondly, that this Convention in-
structs the International Longshoremen's Association
to .-ease the use of the name "International Long-
shoremen, Marine and Transport Workers' Associa-
tion," and to discontinue the use of that name until
the verdict of the a rl.it rat or has been rendered. To
this second proposition, Mr. President, the organiza-
tion which I represent in part also heartily and em-
phatically subscribes. We are in favor of the report
of the committee and desire its adoption. Further,
we pledge ourselves that if adopted, as we hope it will
be, we "ill observe it in absolute good faith. The re-
port of the committee gives us everything we have
been contending for before this Convention for four
years, and with that report we are perfectly satisfied.
If the gentlemen who represent the other organization
in this controversy will agree with the report of the
committee and act in good faith throughout the pro-
ceedings to be inaugurated under that report, we have
no doubt as to the outcome. The question at issue will
cease to trouble, and peace ninl harmony will be re-
stored between these two great industries, that of the
longshoremen and the seamen.
The matter was further discussed at great length by
Delegate Harrison, of tin1 International Longshore
men's Association, and Delegate Rosenberg, of the In-
ternational Seamen's Union. The discussion was
closed by Delegate Daniel J. Keefe.
During the discussion Delegate Keefe made the fol-
lowing statement: I want to apologize for taking up
the time of the Convention to the length I did. and
hope there will be no necessity for the recurrence of
this talk. Tf there is any question of arbitration be-
tween the sailors and ourselves that question is the
name of the organization. They make no contentions
on any other point. That is the purpose, I presume,
of the recommendation of the committee, and if so,
personally I have no objection to it. * * *
During the course of his remarks Delegate Barter
made the following statement : We have always been
in favor of any proposition that was fair. Last year
the committee suggested that we get together. Our
representative's were ready to agree to any proposition
that was fair. While I am not in favor of the report
of the committee, I am ready to agree to anything
done in this Convention that will bring about an ad-
justment of the difficulties between the longshoremen
and the sailors. We' stand ready to obey the mandates
of the Convention.
Delegate Harrison, in the course of his remarks,
said: Why do the seamen state they are in perfect
accord with the committee 1 Does not that report
carry with it everything the seamen have been con-
tending for? I believe it does. Let us stop and con-
sider what is the position of the American Federa-
tion of Labor upon the subject of compulsory arbi-
tration. Is not the American Federation of Labor
irrevocably opposed to compulsory arbitration? What
is the concluding paragraph of the recommendation
of the committee? Is it not an endeavor to commit
the American Federation of Labor to the system of
compulsory arbitration? Is not that what it means'
Is not that coercion f If it is not, then I am totally
at a loss to understand what it does mean. For that,
and for other reasons, I am opposed to the recom-
mendation of the committee.
At the close of Delegate Keefe 's discussion a mo-
tion was made and carried that debate cease.
Delegate Barter — As the report of the committee is
practically compulsory arbitration, I move that the re-
port lay upon the table.
The motion was declared out of order, as the mo-
tion to close debate had been carried.
Delegate Keefe — I asked of the committee in my
closing remarks whether it was the purpose of the
committee to have the representatives of both sides
meet with the third party with the purpose in view of
deciding whether we shall continue under our present
name or change it.
Vice-President O 'Connell — For the information of
Those- who have askeel questions about the position of
the committee, I desire' to say we believe by a con-
ference between the organizations the question of jur-
isdiction can be readily adjusted. When that is ad-
justed the question of the name or names associated
with the Longshoremen 's organization can then be ad-
justed by the Executive Council in accordance with the
decisions reached by your arbitration committee.
Delegate Macarthur — Is it not stated in the report
of the committee that this Convention instructs the
International Longshoremen's Association to cease the
use of the name ' ' International Longshoremen, Ma-
rine and Transport Workers' Association?"
Vice-President O 'Connell — I think I made that
plain. The desire is that you get together, and if
there is any instruction to change the name it should
lee reached through the decision of the arbitration
committee.
Delegate Keefe — If the recommendation of the com-
mittee is adopted, there will be no need of a commit-
tee meeting representing either side. The sailors come
in here with the contention that they are opposed to
the name. Tf the recommendation of the committee
is that we drop the name, I want to announce that
the report of the committee cannot be carried out by
my organization until it is submitted to them. This
would be coercion.
An aye and nay vote was taken and Vice-President
Duncan said in his opinion the motion to adopt the
report of the committee was carried.
A roll call was asked for, but a sufficient number of
delegates did not support the demand.
Vice-President Duncan then declared the report 0*
the committee adopted.
It should be noted that the refusal of the
convention to take a roll-call vote was due to
the lateness of the hour, the usual time of ad-
journment having passed. The sentiment of
the delegates was overwhelmingly in favor of
the report, and there is not the slightest prob-
ability that a roll-call would have produced
any change in the result of the aye and nay
vote. Acting upon this belief, the represen-
tatives of the Seamen supported the demand
for a roll-call.
The gist of the report is contained in the
last paragraph, providing for the immediate
discontinuance of the so-called long name.
The language of the committee on this point
is plain and unequivocal, constituting a posi-
tive declaration against the assumed title,
"International Longshoremen, Marine and
Transport Workers' Association." That title
being the only thing in dispute between the
Seamen and Longshoremen, the former are
justified in construing the vote of the conven-
tion as a vindication of their attitude through-
out the controversy. Such being the position
of the American Federation of Labor, the Sea-
men are entitled to, and doubtless will receive,
the support of the labor movement throughout
the country in bringing about a final settle-
ment of the question.
As stated by the representatives of the Sea-
men in the Pittsburg convention, the arbitra-
tion proceedings recommended by the commit-
tee will be entered into in good faith. A sim-
ilar proposition, recently made by the Pacific
Coast Branch of the "I. L. M. and T. A.,"
was rejected by the Seamen, upon the ground
that to have accepted the proposition would
have been to concede, beyond the hope of dis-
cussion even, the main, and indeed only,
ground of contention. The present situation
is evidently different in this important re-
spect. The question of the disputed title hav-
ing been eliminated by order of the conven-
tion, the Seamen will meet the Longshoremen,
as longshoremen, and such questions, either of
title or other matter, as may arise will be open
to discussion on an absolutely fair field.
On the whole, the action of the Pittsburg
convention has brought the dispute between
the Seamen and the "I. L. M. and T. A." ap-
preciably nearer adjustment. The acceptance
of that action and the maintenance of an atti-
tude in conformity therewith will practically
insure the final success of the proceedings.
Whatever be the outcome of the proposed arbi-
tration, one thing will henceforth be perfectly
clear, namely, that in order to secure recogni-
tion from the labor movement the Longshore-
men must discontinue the use of the long
name.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Shanghaiing on Puget Sound and shanghai-
ing on Chesapeake Bay — these are the latest
items of maritime news! On Puget Sound it
was an exceptional case, three men, or boys,
having been placed on a Europe bound Brit-
ish vessel against their will. But there is
nothing new or unique about the stories of
brutality and shanghaiing when coming from
Chesapeake Bay. The famous "Red Record"
can not produce examples of cruelties more
atrocious than those which are perpetrated
this very day on Maryland oyster boats. Of
course, the unfortunates who are tortured and
murdered on oyster dredgers are not seamen.
The victims are usually raw immigrants, just
landed, who are lured or forced aboard and
when liberated, after months of suffering, they
are only too glad to get ashore again
alive. The responsibility lies with the
Maryland authorities for the crimes are
committed in Maryland waters. But noth-
ing need be expected from the State of
Maryland for the facts have been known
to the authorities for years. Unless the Feder-
al Government takes some action nothing will
be done and Maryland oystermen will continue
to do business in the same old way regardless
of the occasional exposures by the Eastern
press.
The authorities of the Rand, Smith Africa, are hav-
ing trouble with an organization called the ' ' Red
Door" among the Chinese coolies. Its object is to
' ' remedy grievances by force. ' ' — Press Item.
The authorities at San Francisco know all
about those coolie societies for we have been
troubled with similar organizations among
Chinese residents ever since the days of '49.
But then, Californians are supposed to be
biased upon all matters pertaining to Chinese.
The authorities of the Rand should apply to
Mr. Taft for advice. There is a probability
though, that the South Africans are biased
too!
The landlubbers in the A. F. of L. conven-
tions have learned a great deal about the
seamen's affairs since the longshoremen adopt-
ed the long name and with it the policy of
expansion. Thus the unfortunate controversy
has at least accomplished some good and we
may well console ourselves by saying: "All is
well that ends well!"

lutions connected with apprentices, displacement of
workingmen by machinery, child labor, graduates of
manual training and technological schools and of sani-
tary conditions in all workshops.
The Committee recommended that an investigation
be made in all of the subjects, and that a report be
made as soon as feasible.
The Committee arranged for placing three members
in Indianapolis to investigate apprentices in the vari-
ous trades, three members in Pittsburg to look into
the displacement of manual labor by machinery, three
members in Boston on child labor and three in New
York on sanitary conditions in workshops.
Treasurer Lennon offered as an amendment that the
Executive Council co-operate with other societies of
the country in an effort to obtain data on the above
subjects. A sharp debate followed and the amend-
ment was voted down. A number of amendments
were offered for additional committees in San Fran-
cisco, St. Louis and Wilkes-Barre.
All amendments over the original resolution were
dropped and the Executive Council instructed to ap-
point committees in any town or city in which condi-
tions necessitated.
Chairman Klough of the committee appointed to
consider the application of the Stogie Makers' Union
for a charter in the Federation reported against the
stogie makers, saying that as they used the same ma-
terial to make their article as the Cigar Makers' Union
they came under the latter 's jurisdiction.
This decision has been hastened by the recent
action of the Cigar Makers' Union in inviting the
stogie makers to become members of their union and
granting them equal privileges as other members.
The report caused considerable discussion, which
lasted one hour. Advocates of the cigar makers urged
its adoption, while those of the stogie makers stated
that their trade was entirely different to that of the
cigar makers, and asked autonomy in their craft. The
report of the Committee was adopted.
Delegate John Golden, of the United Textile Work-
ers of America, asked for permission to speak ;it this
time. Permission being granted, Mr. Golden spoke at
some length regarding the condition of the Textile
Workers at Fall River, Mass. In conclusion Mr. Gol-
den said:
"The Industrial Workers of the World are trying
to steal many of our locals from the national body,
but I am happy to say they have failed in every in-
stance, and I am sure they will continue to fail. We
know our duty to the American Federation of Labor;
we know what we owe to that organization and its
affiliated bodies, and we thank you all for your mag-
nificent support. We thank you in the name of the
thousands of women and children you supported dur-
ing our strike, and assure you the action of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in the San Francisco con-
vention will not be forgotten. By that action the
American Federation of Labor and' all its unions de-
clared to the world that in a time of extraordinary
trouble the great heart of organized labor throbbed
in sympathy for us. ' '
The Committee on Resolutions submitted the fol-
lowing as a substitute for two resolutions and for
that part of the report of the Executive Council under
the caption "Immigration":
"A further check should be put upon assisted im-
migration. The law now permits the passage of an
alien to be paid by any relative or 'friend' living
in this country. Every employer who wants to bring
in cheap laborers is of course a 'friend' to them, or
can find somebody to play the part. It is one of the
readiest means of evading the contract labor law.
The privilege of paying the passage of others should
be restricted to the nearest relatives — -fathers, mothers
;in<i children, brothers and sisters, husbands and
wives.
"In accordance with the views here outlined, we
recommend that you authorize your officers to use all
honorable means for the amendment of our immigra-
tion laws so as to exclude persons physically unfit, to
check the evil of assisted immigration, to introduce an
educational test, and to provide that ports of entry
shall be confined to those of the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico."
The Committee's report was adopted after having
been amended by providing that no one shall be ex-
cluded who leaves his own country because of political
offenses.
TWELFTH DAY.
The following were elected officers for the ensuing
term : . President, Samuel Gompers ; First Vice-Presi-
dent, James Duncan; Second Vice-President, John

Congress.
Minneapolis, Minn., was selected as the next Con-
vention City.
Western Federation of Miners.
During the afternoon session the Colorado situation
and the actions of the Western Federation of Miners
was again taken up. After a long discussion the orig-
inal recommendations of the Committee on Presidents'
Report were adopted without a dissenting vote. The
Committee's report was as follows:
"Considering that portion of the Executive Coun-
cil's report bearing on this subject — which was re-
ferred to this committee — jointly with the President's
report, we desire to say that we approve, ' definitely
and without equivocation,' the policy pursued as to the
contributions received for the Western Federation of
Miners. We further recommend that the Executive
Committee be instructed to insist, that the Western
Federation of Miners shall either carry out the pur-
pose for which such financial aid was contributed, i. e.,
carrying to the highest courts tin; cases involved, or
give to the Executive Committee an accounting of
what was done with the money."
Prevention of Tuberculosis.
The Committee on Prevention of Tuberculosis, h
ing been appointed during the session of the conven-
tion, submitted a lengthy report and recommended
that a circular be issued by the Federation in order to
spread among the members of the affiliated bodies a
correct knowledge of the few facts essential to the
prevention of tuberculosis.
The report of the Committee was adopted.
In closing the convention, President Gompere made
a short address in which he thanked the delegatei
the kindness and courtesy shown him during the ses
sions.
The convention then adjourned sini .

Mr. Keefe's Methods.
Big Ships and Docks,
The old trouble's of the Longshoremen and the Sea-
men were debated at length at the session of the
American Federation of Labor.
The Longshoremen were opposed to the report of the
grievance committee, which ordered arbitration, and
thai pending such action the Longshoremen should
discontinue the use of the name International Long-
shoremen, Marine and Transport Workers' Associa-
tion, confining themselves to the simple title of Long-
shoremen. The debate assumed personal grounds.
Macartliur of the Seamen opened for his side, and
was answered by Delegate Harrison of the Long-
shoremen. Delegate Rosenberg of the Seamen put
in his oar for the greater part of an hour, and then
President Keefe of the Longshoremen took up nearly
two hours reading a mass of evidence in support of
his case. Vice-President Duncan ordered a vote. It
seemed close and a roll call was demanded. There
were twenty-five hands raised for it, and it was not
ordered, as it requires one-tenth of the 310 delegates
to the convention to order one. Duncan ended the
matter by declaring that the committee report was
.ted.
Keefe jumped to his feet and declared that there
would never be a meeting of the arbitrators, as his
union would not agree to arbitration.
The foregoing article appeared in the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, November 23. The dele-
gates to the American Federation of Labor
Convention have simply done part of their
duty toward the Seamen, and Mr. Keefe is
again ordered to use the proper name for his
organization. The International Longshore-
men's Association of America is a labor or-
ganization and has an existence in fact, but
the Internationl Longshoremen, Marine and
Transport Workers' Association never existed
in fact. If President Keefe refuses to arbi-
trate, we know that he refuse because he
has not a single just argument on his side. Of
course, if he will not arbitrate, he will disre-
gard and disobey the mandate of the Supreme
Court of Labor, the American Federation of
Labor. Perhaps he will continue to use the
long name and continue his attacks on the Sea-
men's Union. He will probably make another
attempt this winter to disrupt the Marine
Cooks' and Stewards' Union of the Lakes, by
using disappointed office seekers as his
weapons.
The Seamen of the Lakes are becoming
tired of this continued warfare. The deci-
sions of the A. F. of L. Conventions at Bos-
ton, New Orleans and San Francisco have all
been for the Seamen, but they have been ig-
nored by Mr. Keefe. The following are a few
examples of Mr. Keefe's fighting methods:
Furnishing newspaper articles derogatory to
the Seamen's Union and making newspaper
threats to have the Seamen's charter revoked;
inspiring so-called organizers who go about
the country telling people that we cannot live
up to our contracts, and that we will soon
cease to exist. All this has been done. Only
a few days ago an organizer (?) at Cleveland
told a certain mate on a certain vessel that
it was absolutely certain that they, the
longshoremen, would be able to have
the Seamen's charter taken away at the
Pittsburg convention, and that they would
then break up the Seamen's Union. I
can furnish names if wanted, meanwhile, here
is mine — W. II. Jenkins.
A coal company at Aberdare, South Wales,
was fined recently for having incorrect scales,
although the error was considerably against
the company.
A. D. Parker, the new Vice-President of
the Colorado & Southern Railway, five years
ago was "grub staked." To-day he is worth
nearly a million.
The Toledo Shipbuilding Co has purchased
the Craig Ship Yards. The consideration is
commonly supposed to be $550,000. It is re-
ported and denied that the Toledo Shipbuild-
ing Co. is really a branch of the American
Shipbuilding Co. What makes this appear
probable is the large number of new vessels
tin' American Shipbuilding Co. has contracted
to build. Pickands & Mather have just order-
ed another monster freighter, making a total
ni' 24 new vessels for the American Shipbuild-
ing Co. to complete, and have in commission
before next July. There were 26 new vessels
ordered but the Jos. Butler, Jr., and the Jno.
Stanton, ordered for 1906, are already in com-
mission. The last vessel ordered is for Pick-
ands & Mather. She will be 550 feet over all,
530 feet keel, sixty feet beam, 31 feet deep and
will cany 11,000 tons of ore. The W. G. Math-
er, now in commission for this company, is
also 60 feet beam but is 10 feet shorter than
the new vessel will be. She, in turn, is 19 feet
shorter than the Big Four of the P. S. S. Co.
fleet, but is 4 feet wider. This brings us to the
question of loading those vessels. They are of
such beam that it is impossible to load them at
the docks now in use, except by using sections
in every hatch, and it means anywhere from a
ten to forty-eight hour drill for the whole
crew every time Ihe vessel is loaded.
The Dulutli, Messabe & Northern By., have
let a contract to Barnett & Record, contractors
of Duluth, to build a million dollar ore dock.
This will be the largest dock in the world, but
there is nothing in the report to show that any
special care is being taken to make it high
enough to load the big fellows. The dock will
be 2,336 feet long and 72 feet high at the top
and will hold 90,000 tons storage. The slip
is now being dredged and about three hundred
men will be employed on the job during the
coming winter.
American-Canadian Tunnel
Consul Conant, of Windsor, Ontario, writes
about a proposed tunnel under the Detroit
River between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit,
Mich. It is to be about 7,400 feet long, but
from the points on both sides where the gra-
dations downward begin, about 2 1-3 miles.
As Ihe United States Government requires a
depth of 40 feet in the channel over the tun-
nel, the top of the latter will not come higher
than 45 feet under the surface, thus allowing
for 5 feet of gravel on its crest.
The methods of construction are to be the
most modern in tunnel building, both in ex-
cavating and constructing the tunnel itself.
The safety of the workmen will be looked after
from the day the first shovelful of dirt is dug
down to the day on which the first train passes
over the tunnel rails or the first foot passen-
ger passes from one side to the other.
United States Consul Dunning, of Milan,
reports activity in Italian industries. He says
that new textile, chemical, cement, chocolate,
silk, and other factories are going up all over
the northern part of the peninsula, or are be-
ing enlarged. The present prosperity is
doubtless due in large measure to the utiliza-
tion of the waters of the Alps and Apennines
for generating electricity.
Improving Cleveland Harbor
The lake front of Cleveland, O., is to be im-
proved at a preliminary cost of $4,500,000 and
an ultimate cost of over $30,000,000. In addi-
tion to this sum the Government will spend
$4,500,000 as its share of the expense. This is
the program outlined at a meeting of the Cuya-
hoga county legislative delegation recently.
The section of the city to be improved ex-
tends along the lake east from Erie street, al-
most to Gordon Park. It will entail the "mak-
ing" of 550 acres of land, which is now under
water. Colonel Dan C. Kingman estimates
that this land is valued at $40,000 an acre or
$1 a foot.
In addition there will extend out into the Lake
fifty piers for the handling of freight com-
ing to Cleveland. The hope of the Government
and the city administration is that this will be
the redemption, in the future, of Cleveland's
maritime business, since the Cuyahoga River
is already conceded to have reached the maxi-
mum of its development.
This improvement will necessitate a close re-
lation between all the railroads entering Cleve-
land and the new harbor. To facilitate the
connection demanded, it is proposed to build a
tunnel under the city, extending from the Lake
front directly across Ihe city and in the vicin-
ity either of Erie or Muirson street. The esti-
mated cost of the entire improvement does not
include the cost of this immense piece of work.
Bids for Harbor Worh.
It was said at the office of Col. Adams, Unit-
ed States engineer, that bids for the continua-
tion of the enlargement of Black Rock harbor
under the $700,000 appropriation made by the
last session of Congress, will be opened in
January. The work is practically the build-
ing of a ship canal to avoid the swift and dan-
gerous currents of the Niagara River, and
make the port of Tonawanda more accessible
to lake boats.
Of the amount to be expended $100,000 will
be immediately available, and the balance will
be appropriated as the work goes on. The
dredging for the deeper channel will begin at
the south end of Bird Island pier, where the
improvements now being made in Black Rock
harbor end, and continue to the foot of Squaw
Island, where the river will be entered. The
width of this waterway will be 200 feet and the
depth 23 feet. But one lock will form part
of the construction, and its location is near
the point where canal and river are to join.
It will be 600 feet long, sixty feet wide and
of the same depth as the regular channel.
First Mate Jno. Durney of the steamer Ma-
toa was put off the vessel at Sault St. Marie
recently. Newspaper reports say he quarreled
with the cook. That is pretty thin ; imagine a
master of a vessel discharging a mate for quar-
reling with the cook, and discharging him at the
Soo at that. Eye witnesses say Durney pulled
a gun on Captain Gegoux. It will be remem-
bered that the P. S. S. Co is now defending a
suit for damages on account of Mate Durney.
He attacked an ordinary seaman with an ax
and badly injured him. The suit is now pend-
ing. Durney does not look like a bad man, be-
ing a very quiet fellow ashore, but he certainly
is making a reputation this year.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Danish Merchant Marine.
The Government Statistical Bureau of Den-
mark has recently issued its yearly
tables respecting the Danish merchant
navy and the shipping trade of Den-
mark in the year 1904. According to
the figures there given, the mercantile
marine of that country comprised, at the end
of 1904, 3,679 vessels, with a register tonnage
altogether of 453,112 tons (British measure-
ment.) Of this total, 3,130 were sailing-ships,
with 135,580 register tons net, and 549 steam-
ers, with 317,532 tons. The official statis-
tics further show that 518 of the steamers were
screw boats and 31 paddle boats; 432 were en-
gaged in the passenger and cargo traffic, while
the remainder served special purposes. The ag-
gregate horse-power of all the steamers was 64,-
000. Among the sailing vessels, 59 were built.
of iron or steel, and these represented more
than one-fifth of the whole sailing tonnage,
whereas almost all the steamers were of either
iron or steel, only five of large size being of
wood, four of which were plying in Green-
land. In the year 1904 the sailing-ships in-
creased in number, but decreased in the total
tonnage, while both the number of steamers
and their aggregate tonnage increased ; the
steam tonnage is, in fact, nearly thirty times
as great as it was the beginning of the '70 's,
but the sailing tonnage has dropped from
168,000 register tons in the year 1870 to less
than 136,000 tons in 1904 ; the tonnage of the
steamers, too, has increased faster than their
number, owing to the fact that the capacity
of new vessels is continually getting larger.
The number of vessels built in Denmark last
year was 68 sailers and 13 steamers with 3,-
100 and 4,800 register tons respectively,
while 30 sailers (1,700 tons) and 37 steamers
(303,000 tons) were purchased from foreign-
ers.
Of the vessels of more than 1,000 register
tons under the flag of Denmark at the end of
1904, numbering 121, 11 were sailers (14,000
register tons) and 110 were steamers (183,000
tons.) The number and tonnage of both
large and small vessels increased in the course
of last year, while vessels of medium size de-
creased in number. Of the whole mer-
chant navy of Denmark, 608 vessels with
278,000 register tons belonged to Copen-
hagen at the end of last year, 298 (31,-
000 tons) to Marstall, 138 (22,000 tons)
to Esbjerg, 73 (23,000 tons) to Fano,
and 285 (24,000 tons) to Svendborg. The
vessels registered at Copenhagen and Esbjerg
are for the most part steamers, and these form
two-fifths of the whole steam fleet of the pro-
vince. The vessels belonging to Marstall,
Fano, and Svendborg are almost exclusively
sailers. The United Steamship Company, of
Copenhagen, owned 72 steamers last year,
measuring 73,833 register tons, and engines of
altogether 15,715 horse-power. This Company
also possesses a number of sailing lighters,

The Earl of Aberdeen belongs to perhaps
the longest-lived family in the British peer-
age. The title, which was granted in 1682,
was in the possession of the fourth bearer only
in 1860.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
The way to greatness nowadays lies not so
much through acting the part of a sane, prac-
tical man, as through acting the part of an
eccentric Mumbo Jumbo. The sane, practical
individual is by common consent relegated to
that blessed obscurity whose chastening vir-
tues have been chanted by poets and dis-
coursed on by philosophers since speech and
man first synchronized. But the Mumbo
Jumbos have no more affinity for obscurity
than oil has for water. Their doings and say-
ings keep the wires hot from Maine to Cali-
fornia, and from Kalamazoo to Baton Rouge.
The newspapers devote more space to chron-
icling the vagaries of one Mumbo Jumbo than
to recording the achievements of nine hun-
dred and ninety-nine men who never lost their
equilibrium. About the only ones who can
command as much space in the newspapers as
a Mumbo Jumbo of the first class is President
Roosevelt, and those fortunate gentlemen who
are "worth" fifty million dollars and upward.
The moral to be deduced from this would seem
to be that if one can not be the President of
the United States or a multi-millionaire, he
can yet aspire to greatness by going in for
Mumbo Jumboism on a scale sufficiently im-
pressive to merit scare-head notices from the
. for be it remembered that greatness in
these strenuous times is mostly a matter of
strenuous advertising.
Joseph Medill Patterson, Commissioner of
Public Works in Chicago, speaks right out in
meeting and seemingly doesn't care a conti-
nental whose dollar-gilded sconce he whacks.
Says he, according to a press dispatch:
Certain capitalists of Chicago arc anarchists. I say
they arc, and with emphasis. I believe men are anar-
no matter hew big their bank accounts, who take
titude that the law does ao< exist tor them and
that they are exempt from obeying it. Millions of dol-
lars worth of property is illegally occupied at the pres-
ent moment in Chicago by rich individuals and corpora-
he have not a vestige of right to it, and man}
of whom give arrogant defiance to the law. If that i'3
not anarchy, what i3?
Commissioner Patterson is undoubtedly a
nervy chap, for in a city where "money
talks" so eloquently as it, does in Chicago, a
public servant takes his official life in his
hands when he discourses in that strain on
the little lapses of civic virtue by the city's
"best citizens." And it may with some perti-
nence be asked, too. What's the use of being
a "best citizen" if the honor does not confer
on one the prerogative of immunity from vex-
atious laws designed to keep the canaille in
subjection?
The Diamond Workers' Protective Union
of America, with headquarters in New York,
has just concluded an agreement with the
Diamond Manufacturers' Assnciation calling
for an eight-hour day, to go into effect at
once. Until January 1 of the present year the
workers in the diamond industry worked ten
hours a day, but on that date they insisted on
a nine-hour day and got it. Questions of
- in the diamond industry for the coming
vear are also being considered by the parties
respectively interested, and a decision in this
matter is expected before the end of the year.
If there is anything deader to the wrorld
than the proverbial "door-nail," it is the de-
I candidate for public office. Before the
election he is "our honored leader," and his
benign countenance beams upon admiring
multitudes from a hundred stereopticon
screens. After the election his face, as a rule,
isn't good for the drinks even. Sic transit,
etc.
Fag Ends.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall!
In all this world with heaping treasures
blest, a spotless reputation is the best.
Who yields his soul to care leaves hope be-
hind, for both can not be sheltered in one
mind.
Xo good cause ever suffered half as much
from the enmity of its opponents as from the
injudicious zeal of its advocates.
There are more ways of fooling the average
citizen than were ever dreamed of in the phil-
osophy of P. T. Barnum. One of the must
effectual is to tell Mr. Average Citizen that
he is a "sovereign," and that his royal dis-
pleasure is feared by even the most powerful
of his masters— ahem, that is, his "servants."
Of all the solemn things in the world, the must
solemn is humbug.
It may seem like disrespect toward one's
litters to say so, but from the frequency with
which the "innocent third party" to labor
disputes, i. e., the public, registers its kicks
against labor in the columns of the organs of
the "guilty second party," i. e., capital, it
looks very much as though the function of the
"innocent third party" in labor disputes was
in the main to serve the Sairy Gamp of cap-
ital as a sort of economic Mrs. Harris.
In order to insure a respectful hearing from
the world it is sometimes necessary to first be-
come a multi-millionaire, for the possession of
great wealth is nowadays regarded as prima
facie evidence that a man is well worth listen-
ing to. Money as the symbol of success has
acquired much of the dignity of a super-social
sovereign who can do no wrong. His sway in
a republic lacking the tempering influence of
an hereditary aristocracy is, of course, doubly
potent over those unfortunate mortals in
whom the instinct of snobbery is congenital.
Which would seem to prove that, though fools
may contend about the form of government,
wise men should concern themselves chiefly
with its essence.
About the only anti-Chinese Exclusion
argument left to our esteemed pro-Mongolian
press is that Chinese "travelers of the better-
class" are treated with "unnecessary and hu-
miliating rudeness" by our immigration offi-
cials. Just what force this argument has
when connected with the proposition to make
the Chinese Exclusion Ait more elastic is diffi-
cult to understand for one whose mind is nat-
urally impervious to the subtleties of flim-
flam logic. Of course, it is greatly to be de-
plored that Chinese "travelers of the better
class" are occasionally treated as suspicious
characters, but the blame for this rests very
largely with themselves in that they are citi-
zens of a country where falsehood and decep-
tion are regarded as virtues. Besides, on the
principle that it is better that nine and ninety
guilty men should escape than that one inno-
cent man should suffer, it is manifestly better
that one Chinese "traveler of the better class"
should be treated rudely once in a while than
that thousands of Chinese coolies should have
free access to this country all the time.

The Australian Postmaster-General
has stated that he intends to take steps
to prevent the sweating of employes in
contract postoffiees.
A i iral strike in Russia is
threatened, beginning January 1. Lead-
ers an- urging the nun to Bave every cent
of their money in preparation for a final
■strike.
The strike of arsenal employes in
France has been broken up by the Minis-
ter of Marine's circular giving the men
the option of going to work or having
tlnir names struck off the rolls.
No one can land in Cape Colony, South
Africa, unless lie possesses £20, or has
secured employment beforehand. All
trades in the \arious towns and districts
of the Colony are depressed, and the sup-
ply of labor is ample. No one should go
nut there on the chance of getting work,
unless lie can keep himself for several
weeks.
In furtnerance of the legislation re-
cently passed to clip the talons of the
grasping landlords, and assist workers
to secure comfortable homes of their
own at a moderate cost and on easy
terms, the New Zealand Government has
just purchased eleven acres of land, cost-
ing
£2750. near IHinedin, for workmen's
homes.
(living evidence in the New South
Wales Arbitration Court recently a
stonemason witness said his trade was
a very unhealthy one, ami that the av-
erage life of a stonemason is only thirty-
six years. lie himself knew of sixteen
Stonemasons who had died this year
from lung trouble, caused by the fine
dust from the stone chisel used by these
workers.
The Sydney (X. S. W.) Labor Council
I a resolution strongly protesting
against the proposed immigration
scheme of the State Government. Tt
also decided to distribute a circular
amongst the principal labor bodies in
(in at Britain, warning them of the state
of the labor market, and what might be
expected by men coming out to seek
work in Australia.
The Wellington (N. Z.) City Coun-
cil has decided to enter into an indu*
trial agre cut witli the employes on
tin- municipal tramways concerning
wages and hours of labor. The agree-
ment provides that all employes sh ill
join the Tramway Union within one
i rmth of joining the sen ice, and (hat
disputes shall be decided by the appeal
boarci. In advocating the agreement mo-
tion, the Mayor told the aldermen that it
would be easier to deal with a combina-
tion than with imlivduals.
Failure to establish a new agreement
between employers and workpeople in
the wool and cotton weaving Industry in
Denmark resulted in a strike on July
1, last, in which about 4,000 work-
people were involved. The workpeople
demanded the reduction of the working
time from 10 to 9 hours per day, and an
increase of wages by from 10 to 20 per
cent. The employers were opposed to a
permanent reduction of the working day
to 9 hours, but were not disinclined to
increase the wages in some cases. Negot-
iations were carried on without result un-
til October 12.
Commissioner Warner on December 1
at Chicago made recommendations to
Secretary Hitchcock for the promotion of
about 100 clerks in the Pension Bureau
and the reduction in salary of about
twenty-five others. The employes who
are to be reduced are generally old per-
who are claimed to be not so effi-
' as formerly and yet who have rend-
ered such faithful service that it is not
considered just to separate them from
the service. Several such persons have
been receiving comparatively high sal-
aries. Many of them will be placed on
the $900 roll.

The Comite Central ties Armateurs de
France has issued a circular stating that
ifficial statistics published respecting tho
various merchant navies credit Franc1
with a smaller amount of tonnage than
she really possesses. The Committee
that the amount is 1,800,000 tons, in-
stead of only 1,500,000 tons, as stated in
the statistics, and that France really
stands before Norway, instead of aftei
thai country.

Anson Phelps Stokes, the millionaire
philanthropist, told the Society of Naval
Architects about the floating tort he has
invented, which he claims is the strong
est fighting ship in the world. This re-
markable vessel is 270 feet long, 190 feel
broad, has a displacement of .'!(), 000 tons,
10,000 horse-power, and can steam eight
and a quarter knots an hour. It will
carry two fifteen-inch guns, sixteen

guns. Each of the fifteen-inch guns will
weigh 135 tons.

in the ice at Boothia Felix (the northern

America), and that the explorer had es-
aped and has been living with the na-

Chief among the papers load at the
thirteenth annual meeting of the Society
of Naval Architects and Marine Engi-
neers at New York, was one by Com-
mander Hovgaard, professor of Naval
Architecture at the United States School
for Naval Constructors, at Boston.
Commander Eovgaard said that the pure-
ly military uses of cruisers, namely,
iCOUting, flank movements and patroling,
iiad been almost lost sight of in order
that vessels might be built with the sole
purpose of fitting them for commerce de
stroying.
A difference of opinion apparently ex-
ists between the President and his Secre-
tary of the Navy on the subject of naval
extension. The President long has been
advocating a big Navy, and has pushed
his views at times to a point where he
could not get Congress to follow him.
The Secretary is oppose, I to a big Navy,
and has decided to reject the recommen-
dation of the General Board, of which
Admiral Dewey is president, for the con
struction of three new battleships of IS,
000 tons and t lie increase to the
displacement of some of the battleships
already authorized.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT.
Fellow Delegates: — Another year in the annals of
organization by the seamen of our country has come
ami gone. A 'good deal has been accomplished dur-
ing the past year; much more might have been done
had it not been for the aggressive non-union tactics of
an alleged organization closely in touch with our own
union. Looking back only a few years and comparing
the present condition of the seamen of the country,
it will be found that remarkable progress has been
made. Our condition has been changed from ab-
ject slavery to that of free wage-workers. Our wages
have been increased, in many instances one hundred
per cent ; the hours of labor have been reduced : we
are treated with respect by our immediate employers,
and we are better housed and better fed.
Through our organization we are to-day enabled to
make our needs known and our influence felt in the
legislative halls of the nation, the States and munici-
palities. In the eyes of the trade-unionists we have
become one of the strongest links in the chain of
the great labor movement of the world.
We have gained the respect of our employers to the
extent that they have entered into agreements with
practically all affiliated unions, providing for the em-
ployment of our members exclusively. The things
accomplished through associated effort by the seamen
command the admiration and wonder of students and
observers. Having accomplished all this in a com-
paratively short time, it must naturally be inferred
that the right policy has been pursued in the past.
The immediate future is pregnant with good or ill
for the seamen of our country. It devolves upon the
organized seamen to determine by their course the
form which it shall assume. If we are faithful in the
future to our trust and do not deviate from the policy
which we have pursued in the past, the conditions
under which we labor will continue to improve.
The eyes of our members are turned toward this
convention, hopeful and confident that their interests
will be safeguarded, that the broadest and best policy
will be pursued.
With an all-abiding faith in the justice and nobility
of the cause with which we have the honor to be as-
sociated, with the confidence that is born of experience
and success, we can confidently regard the future from
an optimistic viewpoint.
In that faith, in that confidence, it is my proud
privilege to welcome you to this, the greatest conven-
tion of the International Seamen's Union of America.
It has been customary for the President to make a
report to our annual convention of his acts and do-
ings in connection with our organization; 1 have tried
to make such reports in the past, but owing to the
great distances separating our different unions and
,!,„ conditions nrevailine in the different Districts,
the conditions prevailing in
and owing to our form of organization which makes
our Secretary-Treasurer our Executive Other, 1 have
in the oast,' not been able to do justice in such re-
ports and have been unable to record the hlStorj 0
our organization in the way I should like to have it,
recorded. . . ,
|;,. in- conscious of how meager and unsat isl act ory
such reports as I have bee, able to make and the re-
,,,,,, I am about to make are, the following is sub-
mitted for your fraternal consideration.
Prom the Lake District I can report to you a sub
jtantial and healthy growth in membership. Two new
agencies were established on the Canadian shore 0J
,|„, (;,-,. :lt Lakes, one at Port William and the Othei
.,t Kingston, Ont. Although no phenomeni m
bership can be reported, nevertheless the two agencies
established bee ttrl eh a taining from the
start ami there is no question but that next year the
organization will make itself fell, when it will 1- able
to regulate the wages and conditions under which the
seamen on Canadian vessels will labor in tie' future.
Very valuable assistance was rendered in organizing
the 'Kingston Agency by Mr. John A. Flett, General
Organizer for the A. F. of L. in Canada. Agreements
were entered into by the Union with both organiza-
tions of vesselowners which provided for an increase
of wages paid our members of $100,000 this season.
The Marine Cooks and Stewards' Union of the
Great Lakes has been put on a sound financial footing.
Their agreement with practically all the owners on the
Lakes provides for the carrying of union men only.
They have managed to get additional help in the
larger vessels and the organization is in a flourishing
condition.
In the matter of organizing the licensed mates on
the Lakes, not much headway has been made, owing,
first, to the disruption of the Masters and Pilots' or-
ganization through their strike in the spring of 1904;
secondly, a large number of the licensed men have
lost faith in all organization, which made it very
up-hill work to induce them to join any organization.
But by far, the principal reason why no great suc-
cess was made lies in the fact that the International
Longshoremen's Association started in to form a dual
organization in opposition to the organization formed
by the International Seamen's Union. This had the
effect of leaving the licensed men practically entirely
disorganized.
On the Pacific Coast the different affiliated organi-
zations have been able to strengthen their organiza-
tions and are to-day on better footing, financially and
otherwise, than they ever were before. This has been
accomplished in the face of strong opposition from
the "I. L. M. and T. A. "
The members of the "I. L. M. and T. A." opened
the controversy between themselves ami the seamen
by refusing to work with members of the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific in Portland, Or. This refusal
to work with members of our Union on board ship had
the effect of awakening the seamen of the Pacific
to the dangerous position they were placed in. It i-
Came evident to tliem that the International Long
shoreman's Association, having changed its name to
that of "International Longshoremen, Marine and
Transport Workers ' Association," was about to extend
its jurisdiction on the Pacific Coast as well as else
where as implied by its long name. In order to
counteract this move by the International Long
shoremen's Association, the seamen endeavored to en-
lighten the members of the International Longshon -
men's Association on the Pacific on the real issue. I In
members of the Longshoremen 's I'uioii on the Pacific
Coast, after being enlightened and after they under
stood the controversy thoroughly, showed conclusively
that they were not in sympathy with the national
officers of the long named organization by promptly
sending back their charter to the latter. Sine then
the Seamen and Longshoremen have been working hand
in hand; harmony has been restored and the condi
tion of the members of the Longshoremen's l'nion has
been improved; their local organizations have been
strengthened materially. Our unions on the Pacific

was carried on as best we knew how, and in the face
of unrelenting opposition from some of the owners
we are still able to show some gains.
I would recommend and urge that the work of or-
ganizing on the Atlantic Coast be continued more
vigorously and that to that end a member of the
International Seamen's Union of America be chosen
charge of such organizing; that such organ-
izer be empowered to hire and discharge organizers;
that he co-operate with the secretaries of affiliated
unions on the Atlantic Coast, as much as possible, but
the whole organizing operations to be carried on under
his supervision to the extent that failure of such or-
ganizing be charged up to him and that he be given
credit for its success.
I would further recommend that all moneys collect-
ed by such organizers be forwarded to the respective
headquarters. And that all expenses incurred be borne
by the International Seamen's Union of America.
All bills contracted by such organizer should be for-
warded weekly to the Secretary of the Internationl
Union, who shall examine such bills and if
they are found proper and found to conform to the
following list of organizing expenses, he shall forward
the money to pay such bilk. The following shall be
considered organizing expenses: Traveling expenses,
ries, rent for halls for holding meetings and or-
ganizing, stationery and postage.
Our convention held in San Francisco a year ago,
resolved to organize the licensed mates on the Great
Lakes. Owing to the opposition of the "I. L. M. and
T. A." and the unrelenting opposition of the vessel
owners, no great success can be reported. I would,
however, recommend that such organizing be continued,
that at least three organizers be provided during
the months of December, 1005, January, February,
March and April, 1906, to the end that through them
an effective organization may be formed.
islation regarding the manning of passenger
hunts" is still pending before Congress. This being of
such great importance to the interests of the Seamen s
Union, as well as to the traveling public, I would rec-
ommend that our legislative committee be continued
and instructed to repair to Washington immediately
upon the adjournment of this convention.
In conclusion I wish to thank you for the honor you
have conferred upon me during these many years, and
also to thank you for your co-operation in the past.
Fraternally yours,

SECRETARY 'S REPORT.
To the officers and delegates of the Tenth Annual
Convention of the International Seamen's Union of
America : Greel ing— It is my duty as well as my pleas-
ure to again greet the representatives of the organ-
ized seamen of this country in convention assembled,
and T think T can safely predict that this will prove
one of the most important conventions that has ever
held by the International Seamen's Union of
America, as well as a most representative one.
■ the Chicago convention of 1899, with its
ea representing three organizations, with
a total membership of less than 4,000 organized sea-
B, I think that the seamen of this country can well
intubate themselves upon the progress made in the
anization of the workers of the sea. It must also
be borne in mind that mere organization is not the
only fruit of that notable convention of 1899. In
every portion of our Coast and Lakes the conditions
been bettered for "the men who go down to the
in ships and do business on the great waters."
Wages have been increased and the hours shortened,
agreements made between employer and employee,
which in itself has brought about the elimination of
a hundred and one evils that seamen have been heir
to from time immemorial.
Mr. Andrew Fnruseth was elected Secretary-Treas-
urer at the last convention of the International Sea-
men's Union, with the understanding that he was to
after finishing his work in Washington
of the Legislative Committee. After
Congnss adjourned, Air. Fnruseth 's presence was re-
quired on the Pacific Coast, and upon arrival there he
found it impossible for him to come East again to
carry out the program mapped OU< at the last con-
vention. Therefore, he not having qualified, I have
acting Secretary-Treasurer during the past year.
The progress made during the past year in organiz-
ing has not been so marked as we might wish, but
what has been lost in one section has been gained in
another. Much progress has been made on the Pacific
tig is especially true of the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific, Marine Cooks' and Stewards'
Association of the Pacific, Lake Seamen's Union and
the Marine Cooks' and stewards' Association of the
Cleat Lakes.
On the Atlantic a set back has been experienced,
on i general depression in business in the
i trade, and the inroads that
n made by the coal-carrying railroads.
In 1902 35 per cent of the anthracite coal delivered
in Boston was shipped there by railroads; in 190:'. this
I to 50 per cent, in 1904 to 60 per cent,
and I am reliably informed that for 1905 it will
While the percentage for the
rrying of bituminous coal is much lower, it is on
the 'increase, and while there has been a general lack
of business in the coastwise transportation trade, the
enjoyed an unprecedented success.
igo coal bound for small inland
towns' of New England was brought by water to Bos-
ton. Portsmouth, Bath or Portland, but now it is load-
rli , mines and carried direct to its des-
tination. While it is true that the New England
s]ntl busy, ami many think the outlook bright,
look upon it as a venture by ehip-
own I upon the expected passage of a Ship-
Subsidy bill by Congress, or prospective results of
the application of the coastwise Navigation laws to
the Philippine Islands.
For the past four years organizers have each year
been appointed especially for the benefit of the Ma-
rine Firemen of the Atlantic Coast, and with but little
It is true that they have an organization
which in certain ports is beneficial to its members.
This is especially the case in Boston, where
have been increased and conditions bettered all around,
but in other ports they are not much better advanced
than they were after the first year of their organiza-
tion.
The organizers for the Marine Cooks and Stewards
of the Atlantic have been doing much better work
than any others employed on the Atlantic. They lone
made splendid progress, the conditions they have had
to contend with being taken into consideration, and
all encouragement possible should be given them, and
if possible, the organizers should be retained for
another year.
The Atlantic Coast Seamen 'a Union has made prac-
tically no progress during the past year, the lockout
by the Atlantic Carriers' Association is still on. and
the injunction still in force.
• in February 8, 1904, two members of the Atlantic
Coast Seamen's Union were arrested by the police
of Boston, charged with "enticing and persuading a
seaman to leave his vessel before the expiration of
his contract," also, with "aiding and assisting a
seaman to leave his vessel before the expiration of his
contract," both of which acts constitute crimes un-
der the Massachusetts Statutes. They were convicted
in the Municipal Court, the case was appealed by the
Union to the Superior Court, and they were again
convicted by a jury. The case was again appealed to
the Massachusetts Supreme Court on exceptions made
by our counsel, to the charge of the jury by the
judge, and also on the constitutionality of the Mass-
achusetts Act, which was passed in 1857, and an
in ls74. Since that time the case has been hanging
fire on account of the Judge in the Superior Court not
wishing to allow the exceptions taken at the trial by
the attorneys for the defense. This however was ar-
ranged for on September 25, 1905. The case came up
in the .Massachusetts Supreme Court for argument
on November 20, 1905, and a decision has not
been handed down.
This is a very important case to the si amen on the
Atlantic Coast, as they are endeavoring to ascertain
if any one has the right to assist a seaman to do what
Congress has said the seaman himself has a perfect
right to do. The case should be carried to the highest
tribunal in the land. There tire similar laws in nearly
all of our seaboard States and one decision in the
United States Supreme Court would decide them all.
no doubt that when these laws were passed they
were in perfect accord with the Federal Statutes, but
since their passage the policy of Congress (..ward the
seaman has undergone a change, and he is no longer
considered a serf while in tin American port, and
it is no longer criminal for him to leave his vessel.
The Atlantic Coast Seamen 's Union has not the
funds to carry the case further, should the decision of
the Massachusetts Supreme Court be against us, and I
would therefore recommend that the International take
hold of the case and determine once for all, if a State
has the right to make legislation that will continue
the seaman in bondage.
The organizer appointed to work among the Fisher-
men of the Pacific Coast has accomplished much good,
especially in securing the defeat of detrimental legis-
lation, and securing beneficial legislation and much of
his time has been taken up in getting it enforced.
No real effort has as yet been made to organize the
deck-crews of the steamers on the Atlantic Coast. The
policy of the past has been to organize the fireroom,
and through the fireroom to organize the deck. This
has proven a failure. For four years we have followed
this policy, and are no further along than we were
when we started. T would therefore recommend that
the coming year all our efforts be concentrated toward
the organizing the deck-crews of the steamers, and
would further recommend that at least six organizers
be appointed for this work — one in Boston, three in
New York, one in Philadelphia, and one in Baltimore.
New York being the largest paving off port, it n eds
the largest force.
These organizers should he under the undivided
control of the Secretary-Treasurer, or a general or-
ganizer, who should have full authority to appoint or
lav off at will. Experience has taught us that only
under this system can anything be accomplished.
The International Long: i Association has
continued to do business during the past year under
tin- name of "International Longshoremen, .Marine
and Transportworkers' Association," in defiance of
the American Federation of Labor. We have continued
to refuse to recognize any local of the "International
Longshoremen. Marine and Transportworkers Associa-
tion," following, of course, the policy of the American
Federation of Labor as expressed in three conventions,
but we are willing at all times to recognize any body
of longshoremen doing business under the name of
longshoremen.
This refusal on our part has caused many com-
plaints to be made to the American Federation of La-
bor, especially against the action of the Sailors' Un-
ion of the Pacific. Many of these complaints wen re-
ceived by me only a few days before the meeting of
the Executive Council of the American Federation of
Labor, with the request that I answer in time for it to
be considered at the next meeting of the Executive
Council. The impossibility of my answering in a
manner to do justice to the Union or myself is ap-
parent to all.
This matter was thoroughly thrashed out at the
last convention of the American federation of Labor
held in Pittsburg, Pa., and the following decision was
rendered by the convention:
"Thai each organization shall select two persons,
and that the four so selected shall meet within sixty
days from the adjournment of this convention to select
the fifth person, and in the event of.failui
upon such fifth person within ten days, the President
of the American Federation of Labor, with the ap-
proval of the Executive Council, shall select the fifth
person.
"The five persons so selected shall constitute an
arbitration board, whose decision shall be final and
binding on both parties.
' ' Pending decision of this board all hostilities be-
tween tin- two organizations shall cease.
"And we further recommend that this convention
instruct the Longshoremen's Association to discon-
tinue the use of the name of 'International
shoremen, Marine and Transportworkers' Association,'
and that no change in tic title be granted, .-.
or maintai 1 except in accordance with the findings
of the arbitration board."
This was bitterly fought by the Longshoremen's
delegates. They said that it was "compulsory arbi-
■ ration." and that the delegates representing the
Longshoremen were not clothed with power to agree
to change the name, and that it was a matter that
would have to be submitted to their organization.
At the ninth annual convention of the International
Seamen's Union a resolution was introduced provid-
ing for affiliation with the International Transport-
workers' Federation. The convention decided that the
question should be referred to a referendum vote of all
affiliated organizations. I herewith on,,

The U. S. Merchant Marine.
In this era of agitation for the public own-
ership and operation of all sorts of public
utilities, it is rather strange that no one has
so far come forward to advocate the Govern-
ment ownership and operation of our mer-
chant marine. The merchant marine is as
much of a public utility as the railroad sys-
tem, and every argument advanced in favor
of the public ownership and operation of the
railroads applies with equal force in favor of
the public ownership and operation of our
merchant marine. Here is a platform where
all the exponents of the various schemes pro-
posed for the rehabilitation of our merchant
marine may come together for a compromise
of the whole difficulty. "With Government
ownership and operation of our merchant ma-
rine, all these vexatious and antiquated no-
tions about ship subsidies, free ships and dif-
ferential bottom duties would be relegated to
that historically interesting realm where be-
long so many ideas and institutions which
were once thought to be indispensable to the
well-being of mankind. With Government
ownership and operation of our merchant ma-
rine, there would be no more worrying over
those $150,000,000 which we now annually
pay to foreign shipowners for carrying our
goods in their ships to our customers abroad.
With Government ownership and operation
of our merchant marine, the service of the lat-
ter would be carried on just like the Post-
office service is now carried on; that is, re-
gardless of whether it paid for itself or not.
If the service did not pay for itself, we could
console ourselves with the reflection that
neither does a subsidized merchant marine
pay for itself. If, on the other hand, it paid
for itself, we might use the surplus in pro-
viding accommodations on board the ships
for, and paying wages to, the seamen which
would induce American citizens to man them
instead of Mongolians, as is now the case on
several steamship lines subsidized by the
Government. Finally, with Government own-
ership and operation of our merchant marine,
we would, of course, realize in short order the
ambition of every patriotic American citizen
to have the Stars and Stripes flung to the
breeze in every seaport in the world, for the
Government would be after those $150,000,-
000 which we now annually pay to foreign
shipowners, like an insurance president after
easy policy-holders' money. What's the mat-
ter with Government ownership and opera-
tion of our merchant marine, anyway? Re-
spectfully referred to the subsidy grabbers
who are now laying the wires for capturing
the "pork-barrel vote" in Congress.
The Man Behind the Gun.
The Atlantic Coast Seamen's Unions de-
sire to acknowledge the receipt of Volume
XVIII of the Coast Seamen's Journal. Its
handsome binding is a credit to the publishers,
and its contents will prove of great value for
reference purposes, and as a means for ob-
taining the most accurate information re-
garding the progress of the American Sea-
men's Union during the twelve months cov-
ered by the volume.
A few weeks ago General Ainsworth of the
U. S. Army appealed to the public to assist the
authorities in checking desertions from the
Army by ostracizing the deserters. Judging
from the many complaints by privates in the
service about poor and insufficient food, small
pay, miserable quarters, and "graft" in the
commissariat department, which appears in the
newspapers, it would seem that the remedy
against desertions woidd be in the direction
of redressing grievances complained of, rather
than inviting the public to co-operate with the
authorities in forcing enlisted men to bear with
conditions which are notoriously bad. The
following letter to the New York Herald from
a private in the Marine Corps makes interest-
ing reading in connection with this subject :
If the army officers who are trying to decide why so
many men desert the service would only look into the
mess they would be able to locate the whole trouble.
What discourages a man more than to get up from the
table hungry? By regulations a marine is entitled to
$7.50 a month for rations, but he only gets about
three-fourths of that which he is entitled to. Coffee is
like rain water, with seldom enough condensed milk
to color it, and sweetened so you cannot notice it. We
never get any butter, but get plenty of good, thick
flour gravy and potatoes with the jackets on. Here is
the nature of a dinner we receive twice a week: Boiled
bacon and cabbage, potatoes with the skin on and
bread. No coffee for dinner. Friday nights we get
fish, bread and coffee. We have one consolation, how-
ever, for there is a post exchange for the hungry man
to go to if he fails to satisfy his appetite in the mess
hall. Pies, ham sandwiches and good coffee are sold
there, but a man has to pay for these out of his little
$12.80 a month. How is a man going to save any
money if he is kept hungry?
This letter is typical of others written to the
newspapers from time to time by enlisted men
both in the Army and Navy, and their fre-
quency suggests that there is something radi-
cally wrong with the commissariat depart-
ments of both services. And, so long as these
conditions continue, the public will be much
more inclined to ostracize the young man who
enlists in the Army and Navy than the one who
deserts. Also, this is a subject which should
be investigated by the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, for nothing so quickly
creates a craving for alcoholic stimulants as
a diet of badly cooked and unseasonable food.
If the good ladies of that society desire to see
the Army canteen stay abolished, they had
better bestir themselves getting some law
through Congress increasing the ration money
of soldiers and sailors, and making "graft"
in the commissariat departments a misdemea-
nor punishable with imprisonment and dis-
missal from the service. The way to make
men anywhere contented with their lot is to
treat them justly, and make them feel that
they are regarded as human beings like our-
selves, and not as mere machines.
New YorK Labor Troubles.
Demand the union label on all products.
The New York Bricklayers' Unions and the
Mason Builders' Association have renewed
for two years the agreement now existing be-
tween them, and which expires on December
31. This agreement provides that the brick-
layers shall be paid 70 cents an hour, and
double for all time over eight hours a day and
for all work done on Sundays and legal holi-
days. The new trade agreement affects about
11,000 bricklayers and carries with it the "fire-
proofing provision," to-wit, that the install-
ation of the fireproofing arches and part i lions,
which now constitute 65 per cent of the work
of the bricklayers, can not be sublet or done
by any but mason builders.
Several branches of organized labor in
New York are in a state of more or less fer-
ment because of disagreements with the em-
ployers. The Teamsters are skirmishing
right along with individual truck owners for
recognition of their union, and the situation
in their bailiwick threatens to reach a climax
around the Christmas holidays. As yet the
lines between the Teamsters' Union and the
truck- owners are not sufficiently well defined
to indicate where the dispute will end. But
that the truck owners are apprehensive of
coming trouble is shown by the fact Chat they
have sent a notice to the railroads that con-
ditions may arise at any moment which will
make it impossible for them to take care of
incoming freight, and that, in consequence,
the railroads must look elsewhere for prompt
delivery.
The Iron Workers in New York City are
also having trouble with the firm of Post &
McCord and others, and are preparing for a
strike which may spread all over the country.
The bosses have called in the assistance of
the notorious Farley, who has taken complete
charge of all the arrangements for massing
an army of strike-breakers in and around
New York in readiness for the expected strike
of the Iron Workers. This strike also is ex-
pected to come to a head before the New Year
sets in.
Finally there are the Printers. Most of
them have agreements with the employers
which expire on January 1, when the eight-
hour workday will be demanded everywhere.
Most of those who had no agreements with
the employers have already begun the fight
for an eight-hour day, while some have ob-
tained that concession without any fight.
Meanwhile the Printers have been assessing
every working member ten per cent of his
wages for a defense fund, and by New Year
they will have a treasury that will just make
the bosses think twice or more times before
they make up their minds to invite a fight to
a finish.
At the recent election in the State of New
York an amendment to the constitution of the
State, known as "the labor amendment," was
voted upon and carried by a good majority.
This amendment empowers the Legislature to
enact laws regulating the number of hours to
be worked by, and the amount of wages to be
paid to, all employes of the Stale. This pow-
er of the Legislature has hitherto been chal-
lenged by the courts of the State, as well as
by the United States Supreme Court, with the
result that many labor measures enacted by
the Legislature were subsequently declared by
the courts to be unconstitutional. Organized
labor of the State now proposes to have all
these laws re-enacted, and is besides prepar-
ing a few new bills of importance to labor in
general to be introduced at the next session of
the Legislature.
When they voted for a constitutional mon
archy as the lesser evil, the Norwegians prob-
ably had in mind the United States as a " h
rible example" of how easy it is to "f - I the
people all the time" with the pomp of spread-
eagle republicanism,

OF THE

OF N. A.
When you are buying a FUR HAT, either soft or
stiff, see to it that the Genuine Union Label is sewed
in it. The Genuine Union Label is perforated on the
four edges exactly the same as a postage stamp. If a retailer has loose labels
in his possession and offers to put one in a hat for you, do not patronize him.
Loose labels in retail stores are counterfeits. Unprincipled manufacturers are
using them in order to get rid of their scab-made hats. The John B. Stetson
Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., is a non-union concern.

It is reported that the establishment of a line of
French steamers designed to encircle the globe, and
with San Francisco as an important port of call, lias
been effected.
The lighthouse built on Southampton shoals by W.
Concannon has been completed, and on December 6
S. R. Haunsell, the keeper of the light, began his
duties at the station.
L. F. Ayson, Commissioner of Fisheries of the New
Zealand Government, is at San Francisco to obtain
from the United States Fish Commission a large con-
signment of salmon and white fish eggs, which he will
take to New Zealand a few weeks hence, or as soon
as the eggs arc in a condition to be shipped safely.
The British steamer Pounslow will commence a
coasting service on the Mexican Coast in conection
with the recently built Tehuantepec Kailway. The
Nippon Yusen Knisha line of Tokio, which runs a line
of steamers to Seattle, will establish a line between
China, Japan and Peru, with a fleet of chartered
steamers.
The steamer Lakme is again in service, and has
been registered at the Custom-house, with Cap-
tain Kamcselius in command. The Lakme used to
be a well-known steam-schooner on this Coast, but for
some reason or other she was converted a few months
ago into a lumber-carying barge. Now she again
appears as a steamer.
Captain I. N. Hibberd, of the Barneson-Hibberd
Company, is en route to Vladivostok to investigate
the condition of the steamer Dumbarton, which re-
cently went ashore on the Siberian Coast, and which,
at last accounts was high and dry and deserted by her
crew in the Gulf of Tartary. She was laden with a
valuable cargo for Nicolaefsk.
The American steamer Watson, under command of
Captain Bartlett, has arrived at San Francisco, sixty-
five days from New York, by way of St. Lucia, Coronel
and Clipperton Island. The Watson, like the steamer
Buckman, arriving a few days ago, is a recent pur-
chase of the Barneson-Hibberd Company, and is de-
signed for service on this Coast.
A new steel vessel, to be known as Barge No. 4, is
under construction at Point Richmond, Cal., and is to
be launched in about two weeks. It will have a capa
city for 2000 barrels of oil in bulk. The boat is to
be furnished with a motive power of two gas engines
of 125 horse-power each. It will be used for trans-
porting oil to up-river points.
The hospital ship Relief is to be placed in commis-
sion shortly and pressed into active service. This
ship has been remodeled into a floating hospital, and
is receiving minor repairs at the Mare Island Navy
Yard. The ship will be stationed at the Panama Canal
zone, to be used as a hospital for sick and injured
employes, bluejackets and marines at that station.
Eight fishermen who were arrested recently for il-
legal fishing by Deputy Commissioner George Neale of
Sacramento, have been convicted in the Superior
Court, and fined $2o0 each. One of the eight was
also sentenced to 100 days in jail for illegally catch-
ing salmon while out on bail for the Cache slough
offense. It is understood that the cases will be ap-
pealed.
Second of the whaling barks to sail again for a
cruise in the sperm grounds of the South Pacific, the
Andrew Hicks left San Francisco on December 6, with
Captain Church in command. Church is a good whaler
and thoughtful of his men, and if experience and good
treatment to the crew count for anything the Andrew
Hicks will return here the coming year with a good
account of herself, and incidentally a good catch of
bone and oil.
From a proud position in Uncle Sam 's Navy as a
cruiser to a prison-ship in the same service, is the in-
glorious end planned for the Nipsie, now out of com-
mission in the Puget Sound Navy Yard at Bremerton.
The old vessel will enter upon her new mission the day
before Christmas eve, according to orders just receiv-
ed from the Navy Department. The Nipsie is the sole
survivor of the great Samoan hurricane, with the ex-
ception of one British vessel.
Before the close of another year it is announced
that the Mexican and Oriental Steamship Company,
a Mexican corporation, with headquarters at Topolo-
bampo, will have a line of steamers running between
the Mexican Coast and the Orient, with San Diego as
the one port of call in the United States. The com-
pany has the backing of the Kansas City, Mexico and
Orient Company, which is the Stilwell line, now build-
ing toward Topolobampo.
An auxiliary power schooner, with a capacity of
300,000 feet of lumber, is being built by Kruse of
San Francisco for the Wendling Lumber Company of
Coos Bay. The boat will be named Wascalore, and is
to be fitted with two engines of 125 horse-power each,
with another engine of eight horse -power for electric
lighting purposes. The schooner will have twin pro-
pellers. A launch for the United States lighthouse
service is also being built by Kruse. It will be 42
feet long and of forty horse-power.
Following is the reinsurance list as posted at San
Francisco on December 11: German bark Suzanna,
184 days from Port Talbot for Caleta Buena, 80 per
cent. French bark McMahon, 206 days from Swan-
sea for San Francisco, 25 per cent. Italian bark Giu-
seppe d'Abundo, 184 days from Newcastle, Australia,
for Valparaiso, 25 per cent. British bark River
Indus, 161 days from Port Talbot for Tquique, 30 per
cent. British ship Mooltan, 116 days from Newcastle,
Australia, for Mauritius, 20 per cent.
The annual report of the life-saving service for the
year ending June 30th shows operations in the thir-
teenth lighthouse district, comprising the Pacific
Coast, as follows: Number of disasters, 55; value of
vessels, $815,900; value of cargoes, $48,230; total
value of property, $864,130; number of persons on
board vessels, 410; number of persons lost, 5; num-
ber of shipwrecked persons succored at stations, 15;
value of property saved, $802,160; value of property
lost, $61,970; number of disasters involving loss of
vessels, 3.
The new steamer Bessie Dollar, recently launched
from a Glasgow yard for the Robert Dollar Steam-
ship Company of San Francisco, sailed on December
10 from Antwerp with a full general cargo, under
command of Captain Gow. The Bessie Dollar is a
sister ship of the Hazel Dollar, which arrived at San
Francisco a few months ago from Glasgow, and is
now engaged in trade across the Pacific. The Bessie
Dollar will be employed, like her, in transporting lum-
ber and freight between San Francisco and Puget
Sound ports to the Asiatic coast.
The Navy Department has decided to sell the Zafiro,
now at the Puget Sound Naval Station, where the ves-
sel was recently surveyed. It would cost more to put
the vessel in condition for active service than the sit-
uation warrants, anil it is not deemed worth while to
place the ship in ordinary against the time when she
might be of value to the Government. This country
paid about $80,000 for the vessel in 1898, and she has
been of some use as a transport. Orders have been
given to have the vessel appraised, with a view to
sale at public auction. It is roughly estimated the
ship should be valued at $25,000.
Sweeping reductions in freight rates between Ta-
coma and Portland, effective upon all traffic going
through to or from San Francisco, have been an-
nounced by the Northern Pacific Railway. It is
stated that the road is compelled to meet competition
on the part of the steamship lines which have lately
been making extensive cuts in freight rates. The
new rates, which are effective at once, will decrease
the cost of freight transportation between Portland
and Taeoma on San Francisco business 25 per cent or
more, and will also apply from Seattle.
It is stated that the Bureau of Equipment of the
Navy Department has signed a contract with Snare &
Triest of New York for the construction of a wharf
at California City for the new coaling station. The
contract calls for the expenditure of $160,000. The
bureau is preparing to let a contract for sheds and
buildings to cost about $200,000. These plans con-
template storage at first of 10,000 tons of coal. Ulti-
mately it is proposed to enlarge the capacity of the
station to 100,000 tons, making it the largest coaling
station on the Pacific Coast. The Demayo Coaling
Company 's coaling machines will be installed.
The Shipowners' Association of the Pacific Coast
takes issue vigorously with the commercial bodies of
the East and other interests which are asking the
Government to delay, beyond the date appointed in
1906, the application to the Philippine Islands of the
United States coastwise navigation laws. The basis
of the request for this extension of present condi-
tions is the statement that there is not now and will
not in 1906 be sufficient American tonnage to handle
the commerce between the Philippines and the United
States and among the islands — a statement which the
Shipowners' Association declares to be unfounded in
fact.
Another expedition is being fitted out at Victoria,
B. O, to search for pirates' hidden treasure on Cocos
Island, the barren rock on the Central American Coast
that is already pockmarked as a result of the many
attempts of treasure-hunters to find the doubloons and
pieces-of -eight supposed to have been cached there
200 or 300 years ago. This time the searchers will
use hydraulic methods, and expect to blow the whole
island out of the water, if need be, in order to settle
this question about pirates, treasure. At the head
of the newly organized company is Captain Fred
Hackett, who has been on Cocos before. He has in-
terested men of money in the enterprise.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country
than all other diseases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis-
ease and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hun-
dred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

AX OPEN-SHOP DREAM.
The current issue of World's Work, a maga-
zine published in New York, contains an ar-
ticle entitled "The Fight for the Open Shop."
written by one Isaac F. Marcosson. The em-
ployers' fights for the Open-Shop in various
large cities have all been successful, says Isaac,
and organized labor is now on the defensive
id of 'the offensive. The situation on
the water front of San Francisco receives some
attention and is herewith reproduced for the
edification of our readers:
A vast business is done on the water front. Ships
come and go from a hundred ports. One day a big
ship came in from Tacoma, where there was a big
strike among the stevedores. Its cargo had been
loaded by non-union men. The San Francisco steve-
dores refused to unload it. Then, the shipowners said:
' ' We will have it anyhow. ' ' They drove the union
men from the docks and guarded the non-union men
who went to work. This uprising resulted in the
Water Front Association, composed of every employer
with interests in a ship or shipping. To-day they
maintain on open shop.
Now, what do you think of that? The Open-
Shop maintained or the water front of San
Francisco and the thousands of good union
men who work there entirely unaware of it.
Tf all of Isaac's statements are so utterly
devoid of truth as his assertions relating to
in Francisco water front, he is certainly
deserving of special mention in the Munchau-
sen class of authors. In no other port on this
or any other continent is the Closed-Shop
maintained as effectively as on the water front
of San Francisco. More than four years' ago
the Allied Employers' Associations made their
last desperate but unsuccessful fight for the
Open-Shop in San Francisco, and since that
time Closed Shop conditions have prevailed in
the various trades and callings employed on
the water front.
As a whole, the article by Isaac F. Marcos-
son is a fair sample of the average Open-
Shop literature. The only thing really re-
markable about it is the fact that the article
found its way into a magazine which claims to
give its readei-s an unbiased review of the
world's work rather than silly stories which
are manufactured out of whole cloth.
"EIGHT HOURS," HERE AND THERE.
While the International Typographical
Union is in a contest to establish the
eight-hour workday in every union of-
fice of the trade throughout the land,
and while our Parrys. Posts, and others
of the same stripe are endeavoring to convince
the public that the country will go to the dogs
unless the labor unions are restrained in their
pernicious activity to reduce the daily hours
of labor to eight, the people in far away Aus-
tralia are wondering whether the workers in
the United States of America are really as far
advanced and as progressive as usually de-
scribed. And they have every reason to seri-
ously doubt our much vaunted progressive-
ness. at least as far as the introduction of the
shorter workday is concerned. According to
the best authority the Australian eight-hour
movement was first started by Scottish set-
tlers in Otago, New Zealand, in 1848-9. It
was adopted in Sydney. New South Wales.
on Augusl 18, 1855; in Melbourne, on April
21, 1856; in Queensland in 1865; in South-
Australia in 1870; in Tasmania in 1874; and
in West-Australia in 1896.
But while the eight-hour day in Australia
has been firmly established for many years,
and is recognized by all as just and fair, there
are associations of employers in America, in
the year of our Lord 1905, who contend that
they can not continue in business unless their
employes work nine, and in some instances
ten and eleven hours, a day. It is true, the
same contentions were made when the hours
of labor were reduced from ten to nine, and
it is likely that similar arguments will be
made in the future whenever and wherever
the workingraen demand a reduction in the
daily hours of toil.
The movement for the eight-hour workday
has grown from year 1o year through-
out the civilized world and no intelli-
gent person will deny that sooner or later the
eight-hour day is destined to become uni-
versal. The files of this paper contain numer-
ous examples of the beneficient results which
have always followed the adoption of the
eight-hour day. The case of the battleship
Connecticut, constructed under the eight-hour
plan, as against the battleship Louisiana, built
in a ten-hour plant, is one of the very recent
evidences of the advantage and practicability
of the eight-hour day in modern industries.
The facts in the matter are as well known
to employers as to employes, and it does seem
strange that American workingmen must
struggle and strike for the eight-hour day
while the workers of Australia celebrate an
eight-hour jubilee — the beginning of the sec-
ond half-century since the inauguration of the
shorter workday. We are living in the much
praised land of the free and the home of the
brave and we are inclined to boast of our
great achievements and our enthusiastic citi-
zens are prone to place this nation upon the
pedestal of fame, as having reached the acme
of prosperity. To those, however, who
are inclined to extol the prosperity and
comfort of our workers above those of
every other land we would respectfully
Si to look across to Australia, when'
the workers have for many years en-
joyed the shorter workday, for which one
of America's largest and strongest trade-
unions is at present straggling.
We learn with regret that two of our bro-
ther scribes in Germany have been sentenced
to terms of imprisonment for having offended
the powers that be. Mr. II. Jochade, the edi-
tor of the official organ of the International
Transport workers' Federation is serving three
months for daring to criticize a Govern nt
official. The editor of the 1 Ial'enarbeitor
i Doekworker), Mr. II. Doring, musl go to jail
for two months for having committed a similar
crime. German statesmen will some day real-
ize that the forcible suppression of honest
criticism is of far more danger to the Empire
than the occasional publication of unjust or
unfair comment. Publicity was ever the great-
est ally of safety and secrecy will ever remain
its greatest menace.
Judging by the attitude of a number of
"class-conscious" editors the article entitled
"Socialistic Fallacies" which appeared recent-
ly in the Atlantic Department of the Journal,
has evidently touched upon a weak spot in
the fine spun web of "scientific" or "dream-
land" Socialism. By way of reply several
"alleged" Socialist editors have, as usual,
taken the opportunity to discharge their mud
batteries. Of course, scurrilous attack from
that quarter is and has always been regarded
as highly complimentary -more so than the
bombastic denunciations which emanate peri-
odically from the advertising agency of Mr.
Post of Battle Creek.
The California Child Labor Law enacted al
the last session of the Legislature has been
declared unconstitutional by an Oakland Po-
lice Judge on the grounds that the statute
"discriminates between children who have
parents and those who have not, and those
who have parents and have been abandoned,
and orphans. State Labor Commissioner
Stafford says he will immediately appeal to
the higher court and if necessary take the
matter to the next Legislature. We are in-
clined to think that the Oakland Judge will
have another guess coming ere long.
Now comes Secretary Shaw of the Treasury
Department and says that the investigation
of the Marine Hospital Service has revealed
a state of things which is nothing less than
startling. Mr. Shaw refers to gross extrava-
gance and reckless squandering of public
funds in the service and recommends that sev-
eral hospitals be abandoned. Perhaps the
funds are needed, to pay the proposed subsidy
of $4,625,625 annually to our poverty-stricken
shipowners.
Chinese miners in South Africa received
£316,074 in pay from January to June of this
year. This must he a cheerful item of news
for those who fought the Boers in order to
give the British an opportunity to develop
the country. The British capitalists are now
developing the country with Chinese labor
and the men who fought are denied employ-
ment, many of them being home in England
starving.
Demand the union label on all products!
A brand of strictly non-union tobacco under
the deceptive name of "Union Leader" is very
extensively advertised in Pacific Coast States.
Organized labor and friends should insist up-
on the little blue label of the Tobacco Work-
ers' International Union (see facsimile on
page 16) when purchasing tobacco of any
kind and thus assist the tobacco workers in
their fight against the American Tobacco
Trust.

Seamen's Convention.
(Continued from. Page 2.)
accepted and the recommendations concurred in. The
following were elected on the National Committee :
P. Scharrenberg, Win. H. Frazier, Daniel Sullivan, L.
Fitzpatrick and William Curry.
The members of your National Committee have en-
deavored to comply with the recommendations con-
tained in the report of the original committee. Owing
to the fact that two members of the committee are
from the Atlantic District, two from the Lakes and
one from the Pacific District, it has been impossible
to hold meetings at which more than two members
could attend. Hence, all the business of the committee
has been transacted through the mails. The mem-
bers of your committee, with the exception of com-
rade Fitzpatrick, have frequently exchanged views and
are pleased to be able to submit a practically unani-
mous report. Comrade Fitzpatrick was corresponded
with but failed to reply.
Your committee favors the establishment of a Na-
tional Home for aged and disabled members. We
fully realize that it will not only require the raising
of a large fund to build the Home but it will be neces-
sary for the membership of our International to con-
tribute a certain amount year after year in order to
maintain the Home. We realize also that the Home,
while it will necessarily have to be supported by all
members, will be of no benefit to members having a
family and not wishing to be separated from same.
After giving this phase of the question every consid-
eration, we have come to the conclusion that the pro-
posed Home would do the greatest amount of good
to the greatest number and is to be preferred to any
system of cash benefits that may be devised.
It is the opinion of your committee that the estab-
lishment of a Home for our old and incapacitated
members will help to bring into still closer fraternal
relations the various bodies of maritime workers of
America. We will be one long step nearer the Broth-
erhood of the Sea when our old and disabled comrades
will no longer be subject to charity, but will be taken
care of in a Home which they themselves have helped
to build and sustain while they were yet able to earn
a livelihood. It will be necessary of course to adopt
certain reasonable restrictions regarding admission to
the Home, but this question can be better dealt with
after the project is well under way.
Your committee has given the subject matter every
consideration and many points have been raised which
are after all matters of detail and should not be raised
until the building qf a Home has been definitely de-
cided upon. We deem it our duty, however, to call
attention to the fact that a home could not be success-
fully conducted without a Hospital- Annex ; for the old
and disabled have their share of sickness and the
Marine Hospital service does not provide for the medi-
cal attendance of aged and disabled seamen after they
have quit sailing. Another, no doubt large item of ex-
pense in connection with the Home will be the cost
of transporting members who are to become inmates.
In order to give a general idea of the cost and the
responsibility to be assumed by our International, if
it should be decided to build a Home, we quote from
the last yearly report of the Secretary-Treasurer of
the International Typographical Union relating to the
Union Printers ' Home.
"The total Home receipts for the year (June 1,
1904, to May 31, 1905), collected from the member-
ship at ten cents per capita, per month, were $69,-
202.62. The expenditure for the same period amounts
to $60,732.69. The average number of inmates for
the year was 134. The total cost per inmate of con-
ducting the Home during the same year was $435.22. ' '
The Printers ' Home is conducted on a very elabor-
ate scale and your committee is of the opinion that a
Home could be maintained for considerable less than
the figures quoted above.
Your committee recommends that the following
proposition be submitted to a referendum vote of the
locals; said vote to be taken during the year and of-
ficial results to be in the hands of the International
Secretary not later than four weeks prior to the next
convention :
For the purpose of raising a fund to be used in
building and establishing a Home for aged and dis-
abled members, each organization affiliated with the
International Seamen 's Union of America and by
virtue of such affiliation being a part and parcel of
the said International Seamen 's Union of America
shall contribute a sum equal to ten per cent, of its
total funds -on hand, in banks or otherwise invested at
the close of the fourth quarter of 1906. The amount
payable may be raised by assessing each member or
taken out of the Unions ' funds at the option, of
the various organizations.
Beginning with the month of January, 1907, each
member of the International Seamen's Union of
America shall be assessed ten cents per month, payable
monthly, quarterly or semi-annually at the option of
the various organizations, into the hands of the Board
of Trustees of the Seamen's Home Fund. The assess-
ment of ten cents per month to be continued indefi-
nitely, provided however, if after the establishment of
the Home the said monthly assessment is found more
than adequate or inadequate to maintain the Home,
the monthly assessment may be increased or decreased
at any Convention of the International Seamen's Un-
ion of America.
If the foregoing propositions are adopted by the
referendum vote a Board of Trustees to consist of
five members of the International Seamen 's Union of
America shall be elected at the Eleventh Convention
of our International. Said Trustees shall be known as
the Trustees of the Seamen's Home Fund, and they
shall be held responsible for the safe keeping and in-
vestment of all sums paid into the said Seamen's
Home Fund. Provision shall be made at the above
named Eleventh Convention for the bonding of said
Trustees with reliable Surety Companies.
Your committee estimates that approximately $25,-
000 will be obtained from the ten per cent, assess-
ment of Unions. The yearly income from the month-
ly assessment of members will of course depend on
the growth of our International. Your committee esti-
mates that in three of four years approximately, $75,-
000 will have been accumulated. The foregoing
amount we believe to be sufficient for the building of
a Home. We also believe that tracts of land will
be offered free of charge to the International Sea-
men's Union of America, provided the Union agrees to
erect thereon in a certain specified time a Home for
old and disabled seamen, said Home to cost not less
than a certain specified amount.
We have considered the question of voluntary con-
tributions and while we realize that they cannot be
depended upon, we think that voluntary contributions,
without any strings or provisos attached thereto, ought
to be accepted.
In conclusion we recommend that a Committee on
Seamen 's Home be again elected at this convention
for the purpose of attending to details and report
upon such other Home matters as may be brought up
during the convention. We also recommend that the
incoming President and Secretary be made members
of the committee.

Mr. Jas. O'Connell, Secretary of the International
Machinists' Association and Third Vice-President of
the American Federation of Labor was introduced.
Mr. O'Connell delivered a fine address which was
warmly, received by the convention.
The following resolutions were introduced and re-
ferred to the appropriate committees:
For organizers among Cooks and Stewards on the
Atlantic Coast.
For a load-line on American vessels.
Against local unions retaining members properly be-
longing under the jurisdiction of other locals.
For an increase in the per capita tax.
Amending Constitution in matter of referendum
system.
Amending Constitution in matter of assessment sys-
tem.
The delegates to the convention of the American
Federation of Labor submitted a report covering the
general condition of that body and the work of its
convention. The convention adopted several resolu-
tions introduced by the delegates from the Internation-
al Seamen's Union of America, dealing with the fol-
lowing subjects: To prohibit the towing of log-rafts
and barges; protesting against the insufficient manning
of vessels; to amend the treaties so as to insure the
personal liberty of foreign seamen leaving their ves-
sels in American ports; protesting against the employ-
ment of Chinese labor on American vessels; for the
establishment of a Marine Hospital in Alaska; to ex-
tend the provisions of the Chinese Exclusion Act so
as to exclude Japanese and Korean labor ; to guarantee
the personal rights of public and quasi-public em-
ployes. In the matter of the dispute between the so-
called "International Longshoremen, Marine and
Transportworkers ' Association," the delegates report-
ed the following recommendation:
"Inasmuch as the action of the American Federa-
tion of Labor, as herein noted, constitutes a definite
declaration in support of our contention for full and
exclusive jurisdiction over all workers in the maritime
industry, and a specific instruction to the International
Longshoremen's Association to discontinue the use
of the title, "International Longshoremen, Marine
and Transportworkers' Association" and to cease ex-
ercising, or attempting to exercise, the claims implied
by that title, your delegates recommend that every pos-
sible step be taken to bring the proposed arbitration
proceedings to a successful issue. We further recom-
mend that this convention elect two representatives
on the arbitration board, and that the Executive
Board be authorized to expend such moneys as may be
necessary for the purpose in view. Wo further recom-
mend that the representatives herein provided for
shall be subject at all times to the instructions of the
Executive Board and that the latter shall have author-
ity to enter into such arrangements as may be pro-
posed by the arbitration board and as may be mutual-
ly acceptable to the parties in interest."
The report was referred to the Committee on Reso-
lutions, and later adopted as a whole.
The following resolutions were introduced:
To dispense with all organizers during the coming
year.
To inspect watertanks on vessels.

Many Lives Lost.
Public Opinion.
The worst storm that has visited the Lakes
during the past, thirty years, struck Lake Su-
perior mi November 28. Ten of the big
freighters of the Pittsburg Steamship Com-
pany vent ashore. They are the Isaac L.
Ellwood, Mataafa, Crescent City. Edenborn,
Maderia, La Payette, Coralia, Manilla, .Mai;t.
and the big 569-foot queen of the Lakes, Win.
E. Corey. Besides the above Hie following
are wrecked: The C. H. Elphiek, tug Sidon-
ica, steamer Appomattox, Mary Mitchell,
st. Alcona and Consort, Geo. Herbert* steam-
er City of Holland stranded, schooner J.
M. Spaulding, schooner Harvey Bissell,
steamer Jim Sheriff, schooner Vruland,
schooner Judd, steamer D. C. Whitney,
steamer J. H. Onthwaite, steamer Chas. M.
Warner, schooner V. A. Georger dismasted
on Lake Michigan, and last the Ira II. Owen.
which foundered on Lake Superior and
drowned all hands. Nine lives were "iven up
in the wreck of the Mataafa, and one man,
Jas. Morley, mate, was drowned off the Ma-
deria. Win. Sturdevant was washed over-
board from the Harold B. Nye and lust, one
fireman. Pat Wade, was lost with the La
Fayette, and Frank Seeley, John Van Busoon,
first and second mates: Thos. Smith, wheels-
man; Ernest Hensel, ordinary seaman, and
Walter Kennedy, oiler of the La Fayette, are
in the Budd Hospital at Two Harbors with
their feet frozen. The Schlesinger went on
at false Presque Isle and was released. The
Western Star was also ashore and released.
According to figures compiled recently the
death list on the Great Lakes during the season
now closing has been the heaviest of any year
since big steel vessels began to he used on the
Lakes. A total of 215 lives were lost. Of
these 116 were lost during the three great
storms this fall.
Nationality of Seamen.
The nationality of seamen employed on
British vessels is shown by the following par-
agraph from a London newspaper:
Last year 259,489 persons were employed
on British vessels engaged in the h< ■ and
foreign trades. Of these only 176,975 were
British. Of the remainder, 39,832 were for-
eigners, while 42,682 were Lascars and Asi-
atic. The proportion of foreigners to every
100 British persons employed has risen from
14.05 in the year 1888 to 22.50 last year. The
actual numbers of foreigners on British ships
have increased in the period named Erom 25,-
277 to 39,832. The Lascars and Asiatics em-
ployed on British -vessels numbered last year
42,682, as against only 18,427 in the year 1888.
Toward the end of the year 1907 the port
of Hamburg will have the biggest drydock in
the world. It is to have a lifting power of
35,500 tons; the largest dock, at present, lifts
17,500 tons. The largest ships of the mercan-
tile marine can be docked in it. In building
this dock care is taken that, if necessary, it
can be transported to the lower Elbe, near
Brunshausen, which, in the event of war,
would be important.
A writer in "Charities and The Commons"
(the new name for "Charities'') quotes a
woman organizer of the garment workers who
makes a plaint against public opinion. She
had seen public opinion fast asleep while her
union was fighting a lockout peacefully, hut
instantaneously wide awake and howling when
the Chicago teamsters went on strike and hurt
something.
The superstition in public opinion dies hard
anion- the working classes. They have seen
it held up to their awestricken gaze as a fetich
for so long a time by so many good folk that
most of them have a pain when public opinion
is scoffed at Vet it ought to be hooted out of
court in every labor organization when it is
in the wrong.
Public opinion, the world over, is more of-
ten wrong than right. That it is universally
wrong in China on most questions settled by
our own civilization to our own satisfaction,
we white-skins will insist. That it is belated
in all monarchical countries on the fundament-
al matter of sovereignty, we Americans stout-
ly declare. That it is absurdly in error in
prohibition communities, the majority in our
various Stati s decides at the polls. That it
is prevalently ignorant, mistaken, sluggish
and selfish among the non-wage working class-
es in America with respect to the labor move-
ment must be the verdict of every observer
capable of reading large facts and deriving
from them his own convictions.
Professor Bascom long ago said in effect,
that the unorganized workers in a commun-
ity may struggle alone- near the starvation
point and be overlooked by the community —
that is. by public opinion. The unorganized
are dumb, being without a leader, a spokes-
man, a newspaper organ, a committee, a char-
after, a form, a class opinion of their own.
Few labor unions have been much nurtured
in their growth by public opinion. They have
taken on their strength in spite of it. In the
last twenty years the typographical union
has quintupled its membership. Mighty few
have been the molders of public opinion to
help it along. The glass-workers have regu-
lations and an agreement with the employers
that give public opinion chills and fever when
it turns its dull gaze on that trade, hut which
persist, in spite of the supposed effectiveness
of public opinion. The building trades in
every city of this country have put up their
scale of wages year after year while public
opinon has been screeching blue ruin for
business and capital.
What hindrance has alleged public opinion
been to Standard Oil success? What has been
thus far the general effect of public opinion
on the various forms of monopoly that have
given birth to our great American million-
aires? What has public opinion done to abol-
ish economic privilege in our great republic!
The fact is. public opinion does not carry
on ;i very effective business. It is thought
stuff in the raw material stage. Its judg-
ments are too extensively multitudinous and
universal. It, is animated in general by no
more than a selfish sentiment. It seldom says
"Do." On occasions it howls "Don't!"
During strikes it is not public opinion that
keeps violence down. It is labor opinion. The
garment workers in their big strikes of the last
two years exhibited less violence than ten
years ago was seen in many of the "season"
strikes of the trade in New York. The three
thousand printers in strike for the last two
months in forty to fifty cities of tli nintry
have created no disorder. Take up a list of
the 120 internatonal unions, look it over, and
yon will see that many of them, perhaps two-
thirds of them, carry on their strikes with
but the slightesl street disturbances. Note
that nearly all the picturesquely violent strik-
ers, the pet aversion of the sensational press,
are workers in a comparatively few occupa-
tions in which it is popularly considered
healthy to receive an occasional knock out.
Public opinion? We have been awaiting
an analysis of it I'm- a long time. Not a gen-
eral analysis, for that would be a description
of man's oncivilization to-day; but of that
particular phase which has to deal with la-
bor unions.
To rouse a healthy and just public opinion
is a huge task. A common experience with a
union on strike is to have public opinion at
the outset sicked on it like a fussy, barking
cur by its opponents— the supposed opinion
being voiced by a press reflecting patronage.
By the time that the union has won or lost
its strike public opinion is looking at some-
thing else. The unionists may have a per-
fectly defensible case, which in the course of
time will be recognzed as good by the govern-
ment's special agents and the universities'
amateur historians -but at that stage public
opinion lias forgotten all about the union it
had been barking at long ago. — The Weekly

Aluminum Paper.
Aluminum paper is now manufactured in
Germany and recommended as a substitute
for tin foil. It is not the so-called leaf alumi-
num, but real paper coated with powdered
aluminum, and is said to possess very favor-
able qualities for preserving articles of food,
for which it is used as a covering. Chemical
analysis has proven that aluminum paper con-
tains but few foreign substances; occasionally
it may contain up to 2 per cent of iron, but
never any arsenic or other poisonous metals.
Hence it appears that the powdered alumi-
num used for Hie manufacture of aluminum
paper is relatively pure. The paper used is a
sort of artificial parchment, obtained through
the action of sulphuric acid upon ordinary
paper. The sheets are spread out ami covered
upon one side wilh a thin coating of a solution
of resin in alcohol or ether. Evaporation is
precipitated through a current of air and the
paper is then warmed until the resin has
again become soft. Then powdered aluminum
is sprinkled upon it and the paper subjected
to strong pressure to fasten the powder there-
on. The metallic covering so obtained is
neither affected by the air nor by fatty sub-
stances. Aluminum paper is much cheaper
than tin foil and will, so it is thought, be-
come a stron- competitor thereof.

Australian Notes.
(For the Coast Seamen's Journal.)
Labor Day at Sydney was a huge success;
45,000 persons were on the sports ground,
Moore Park, and the weather could not have
been better, and everything went off without
a bitch.
There is a widespread dislike to the
recent decisions of the Arbitration Court. I
may say that it is just now of no benefit to
any one but lawyers, barristers, solicitors or
the members on the bench. When a, union
takes a case before the Court, the witnesses
are expected to explain how they live and
the cost of the same ; how many are in the
family, and what members of the family are
helping to keep the home.
I may say, without egotism, that our laws
in Australia are the best in the universe, but
it is the rotten administration of our laws
which make us in Australia the laughing
stock of the world. For example, the Old
Age Pension Act; every person so entitled
shall receive 10 shillings per week, but if the
person be married and the wife also be enti-
tled to 10 shillings, and if they are living to-
gether as such they are reduced 5 shillings.
So you will observe there is a premium for
separation, or an incentive for divorce.
Work is brisk here at present as this is the
height of the wool season, and the majority
of the trades are working full time. Never-
theless, there are still a great many unem-
ployed amongst the laboring class. Owing
to the want of immigration to the farming-
districts the employers say the country is
going to the bad, and they and their press
lay all the blame at the door of the labor
party, as our party is opposed to contract
labor from elsewhere.
The labor political conference is to take
place here on January 26, 1906, and up to
November 25 the unions and labor leagues
are requested to send in suggestions for dis-
cussion.
Some of our Government officials are now
awakening to the necessity of irrigation.
What a time it takes for a sleepy Ministry to
know they are alive. There are large tracts
of this colony that is simply a waste, and mil-
lions of gallons of water running into the sea.
Now one of the Ministers has taken the mat-
ter up, and is trying to shake his colleagues
up. Shipping is very brisk here at present,
especially deepwater tonnage. One steamship
line is running here direct from Boston, U.
S. A.
The Union Steamship Company, with head-
quarters at New Zealand, has just had an-
other addition to their fleet of a new turbine
steamer, to run on the coast and probably to
Vancouver, B. C. The Union Steamship
Company also have another turbiner running
from Melbourne to New Zealand.

A decree has been promulgated by the
President of the Venezuelan Republic, order-
ing the construction of a dock and dockyard
at Puerto Cabello. The construction of the
works will be under the general commander
of the Navy. The sum of $96,500 has been ap-
propriated for the building of the dock and

More Jap Competition.
Editor Coast Seamen's Journal:
I am writing you these few lines about
times down here. Two ships left here during
the month manned with Japs: the W. IT.
Smith and C. S. Carolton. There were fifty
or sixty men on shore ready to go to work and
willing to do a day's work for a fair day's
pay, but, of course, white men cannot compete
with the little brown men, as a white man's
standard of living cannot be lowered to that
of a Jap.
It is too bad that, we have owners who do
not care what kind of men they carry as long
as the ship gets away from port, and if she
is lost, why the insurance will cover it. But
in time of war, will the little brown man take
the place of the white? Those very men who
to-day favor the Japs would arise and make
long patriotic speeches. They will pat the
sailor on the back and tell him: "You are all
right, Jack." But if these things go on, it
will drive the few men who are still going in
our foreign trade back to the Coast and from
there ashore.
The Merchant Marine is the nursing ground
for the Navy, and if there are no white men
in our Merchant Marine, where will Uncle
Sam get his sailors in the future.

Universal Suffrage.
The eagerness with which the peoples of
Russia and Austria are a1 presenl striving
for universal manhood suffrage, and the apa-
thy manifested toward that institution by
many citizens in this country, has been made
the basis by the New York Times for com-
ments calculated to impress an unsophisti-
cated person as showing that universal man-
hood suffrage is not all it has been cracked
up to be. As bearing on the principle in-
volved in a discussion of that kind, the fol-
lowing "yarn" is rather apropos:
"Poor -lack'" was "homeward bound," and
had a three sheets in the wind jag on. At
supper time in the boarding-house where he
stayed, his glims— his "tarry toplights." as
a magazine writer of the neuter gender would
call them— were observed to rake the table
fore and aft as if in search of something
which they missed. Presently he roared out:
"Wash a matta the cheese?" Whereupon
(so the yarn runs) the landlady whispered to
the slavey: "<!o out in the backyard, Mary.
and bring in the grindstone and place it on
the table in front, of Jack." Mary did as she
was hid. and when Jack beheld the grind-
stone in front of him he emitted a grunt of
satisfaction, saying, "Thash right (hie). Not
that, (hie) T want any cheese, (hie) but I
wanna see it (hie) on V table when T (hie
pay for my hoard."
And so with the apathetic citizen and uni-
versal manhood suffrage. He thinks he is en-
titled to have it around handy whether he
makes any use of his privilege or not, ami
the probability is that if it were taken away
from him he would, like "Poor Jack." want
to know. "Wash a matta?"
"With all the hullabaloo and fuss that was
raised by the trust organs over the recent
Chinese boycott, it now appears that instead
of decreasing our trade with that, country, the
boycott had exactly the opposite effect. Ac-
cording to Government statistics our sales to
China during the first ten months of this year
amounted to *r>0.n00.000. more than half of
which is represented by manufactures of
cotton, as against $20,500,000 for the same
ten months of last year; thai is, an increase
of nearly 150 per cent. This would seem to
put an effectual kibosh on the arguments of
those who think that our exports to China
depend for their stability and increase on our
conciliating the Chinese Government by
grafting a lot of "modifications" on to our
Chinese Exclusion laws. Trade, far more
than labor, is regulated by the law of supply
and demand, and its channels cannot be di-
verted by any political apparatus or specu-
lative "reciprocity" hocus pocus. Therefore,
the Chinese will trade with us so long as they
get from us what they want cheaper than
anvwhere else.
Since the last election there has been a
gratifying increase in New York of the sen-
timent in favor of Direct Legislation and the
11, and direct nominations. Even Mr.
Hearst's papers are now seemingly in "favor
of the reform, judging from the tentative
comments thereon timidly ventured upon by
the labor editor of the New York Journal. It
is a rattier tardy acknowledgment by Mr.
Hearst of the virtues of Direct Legislation,
but — well, better late than never, as the old
saw has it.
"Capital" Denned.
Most of this so-called war between labor
and capital is really war between labor and
monopoly, for there is both a difference and
a distinction between capital and monopoly.
Webster defines capital as "a stock in trade,
in manufactures, or in any business requiring
the expenditure of money with a view to
profit." The monopoly of natural resources,
on the other hand — such as the monopoly of
land containing coal or other valuable min-
erals means primarily power granted by
law to exclude labor from access to such nat-
ural resources except upon terms fixed by the
monopolist Tt is well to bear this distinction
in mind next spring when the present agree
ment between the anthracite miners and the
coal monopolists expires. If there should be
a strike before another agreement is i
eluded between the two parties, it will be her-
alded by the newspapers throughout the
length and breadth of the land as "another
deplorable war between capital and labor."
It is extremely difficult, however, to under-
stand by what kind id' reasoning it can be
proved that the coal which Nature placed in
the bowels of the earth millions of years ago,
when man had not yet been conceived in the
womb of Time, can to-day be the legitimate
"capital" of any one man or set of men.
Legitimate capital, in the final analysis, is
that form of wealth produced by labor ap-
plied to natural resources, and the monopoly
of such resources is. therefore, a crime against
labor.
.Much is said and more written nowadays
in condemnation of the massacres of Jews in
Russia, All good men, irrespective of creed
or race, are in accord with that sentiment, for
every human being is by all the laws of God
entitled to the protection of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. At the same time
it must be remembered that even here in the
United States, although we do not. discrim-
inate against him politically, the orthodox
Hebrew is hardly anywhere persona grata.
This fact is not attributable to his qualities
as a man or citizen, or even to his supposed
Shylockian temperament, as much as to his
disinclination to assimilate with the people
among whom he lives. It is human nature to
dislike those who hold aloof from us in a
spirit which plainly indicates that they think
us beneath them either socially, ethically or
ethnological ly. Therefore, so long as the He-
brews insist on maintaining the purity of
their race by refusing to intermarry with
Gentiles, so long will they be more or less
contemned by the rest of us.
The delegate from the Pattern Makers'
Union to the Central Labor Union of Brook-
lyn, N. Y., recently reported to that body
that one of the locals of his organization,
composed wholly of Socialists, had been
guilty of various acts the general tendency of
which was to disrupt organized labor. In
consequence, the Executive Board of the Pat-
tern Makers' Union had expelled the local.
The Street Railway Men's Local No. 283,
of Brooklyn, N. Y., report their organization
to be in fine shape, financially and otherwise.
Through the power of organization they have
succeeded, in getting the platforms of the
Brooklyn street cars vestibuled, whereas the
New York street railway men, who are un-
organized, have to face the wintry blasts from
exposed platforms.

men 's Union :
"TO-MORROW IS ALSO A DAY."
The Day Star is proudly ascending,
Resplendent, bright herald of .Morn;
His rays, in her draperies blending,
Are lost in the glories of dawn.
And a murmur comes over the ocean,
As our gallant ship furrows her way,
And it swells to a mighty commotion:
"Convention assembles to-day!"
Many voices in unison blending,
.Many hearts that beat gladsome and gay;
Many tongues in one language ascending:
"Convention assembles to-day!"
Then hurrah for our annual n union'
Success to our delegates I i u< '
rm our needs shall command their attention,
Though We bide far away o'er the blue.
I', mil the Great Lakes and oceans and rivers,
Prom each harbor, and inlet, and Da} .
Comes the chorus of organized seamen:
"Convention assembles to-day I "
From the East, where the rising sun glistens
On sea-horses fearsome and bold ;
From the West, where the dying sun pictures
The sea in bright crimson and gold ;
From the South, 'mong the shimmering islands,
Where the morning dew silently falls;
From the storm-beaten crags of the Northland,
Where the fisherman toils at his trawls :
' ' Three cheers for our annual reunion,
And three rousing cheers for the day,
And 'three times three and a tiger'
For our great I. S. U. of A. "
There 's the song of the sweltering fireman,
Borne upward on sulphurous clouds,
By the wind through the resonant rigging,
Rings high in the vibrating shrouds.
From galley and stokehole and crosstree
Each seaman and mariner calls;
'Tis caught by the trundling windlass,
And rings in the song of the pawls.
Then fear not those arrogant powers
That would scatter despair in our way,
For, "the seafarer's cause, it is ours,"
And "To-morrow is Also a Day! "
So, here's to our annual reunion!
Success to our delegates true !
May they meet in fraternal communion,
Though we toil far away o 'er the blue !

To the Tenth Annual Convention of the Interna-

and Fellow Delegates — Your Committee on Organiza-
tion, after the most careful consideration of the mat-
ters submitted to it in the reports of the President
and Secretary-Treasurer, and resolutions Nos. 2, J3,
It, 20, 21, 22, 25, 31, and letter from Reginald E.
Hall, Baltimore Agent of Marine Cooks' and Stew-
ards' Association, recommends as follows:
First — Atlantic Coast.
That the great work of organizing be con-
tinued on the Atlantic Coast during the ensuing
year, or such part of the years as may be deemed
3Sary by the Executive Board, and that an officer
or organizer of the I. S. U. of A. be placed in full
charge (subject to the direction of the Executive
hoard), of a corps of five organizers on the Atlantic
and Golf < 'oasts, with New York as headquarters, who
shall devote his entire time to duties pertaining di-
rectly to organizing. Said officer or organizer shall
be empowered to visit the different ports whenever he
shall deem it necessary, subject to the approval of the
Executive Board. Such organizers as may be em-
ployed shall submit weekly reports to said officer or
organizer, using a report sheet similar to the one al-
ready approved by the Executive Board, and said
officer or organizer shall in turn compile these reports
into monthly reports, as nearly as possible, a copy of
which shall be sent to each member of the Executive
Board and to the secretaries of all affiliated organiza-
tions. Said officer or organizer shall be paid a monthly
salary to be determined by the convention.
Second — Great Lakes.
We recommend that one organizer be appointed to
aid this spring in the organization of the Cooks of the
Great Lakes and Rivers, cost not to exceed $450.00.
We further recommend that four organizers be im-
mediately commissioned to assist in the organization of
the Mates on the Great Lakes, expense of such work
to be defrayed by the I. S. U. of A., up to the action
on this matter by the Lake Conference of the Lake
Seamen's Union; then, the Executive Board of the I.
S. U. of A. to decide whether to continue with said
organizing, the understanding of your committee be-
ing that the conference of the Lake Seamen 's Union
to be held in January, 1906, will take up the further
expense of this work.
Third— Pacific Coast.
On request for organizer for Pnget Sound made by
the Marine Cooks and Stewards' Union of the Pacific
Coast, we report non-concurrence.
We recommend that the organizer for the Fisher-
men's Protective Union of the Pacific Coast and
Alaska be continued for the ensuing six months.
We further recommend that if International funds
are available, upon recommendation for additional or-
ganizers by the Secretary-Treasurer, or the General
Organizer, or a member of the Executive Board, the
Secretary-Treasurer, to whom such recommendation
shall be sent, shall immediately forward such recom-
mendation to the vote of the Executive Board, the ma-
jority vote to decide whether such additional organ-
izing work shall be carried on.
On motion, Article VI, Section 2, of the Constitu-
tion was amended by striking out the words: "He
shall also act as the general organizer of the Union
and direct and supervise the work of the local organ-
izers. Jointly with the District members of the Ex-
ecutive Board, he shall have power to appoint and re-
move local organizers."
The following officers were elected for the ensuing
term :

Convention City. Boston, Mass.
The Committee on Legislation, reporting upon the
subject of a ''National Seamen's Home," recom-
mended that the report be adopted, and that the finan-
cial propositions involved in the committee's plana be
submitted to a referendum vote, the results of which
shall be forwarded to the Secretary-Treasurer at hast
four weks before the meeting of the next convention.
The same committee in favor of keeping in
touch with the Transport Workers' Federation of the
World, but recommended that the question of affilia-
tion be deferred for the present; report adopted.
After the adoption of resolutions thanking the Lake
Seamen's Union, the Marine Cooks' and Stewards' As-
sociation of the Great Lakes, and the management of
the American House, the convention adjourned, to
mi it in Boston, Mass., on the first Monday in Decem-
ber, 1906.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
The following resolutions on matters of general im-
port were adopted during the sessions of the conven-
tion:
Protection of Fishei
Resolution No. 19, by A. Brandt and I. N. Hylen,
of the Fishermen 's Protective Union of the Pacific
Coast and Alaska:
Whereas, The fishermen of the present time are sub-
jected to many acts of injustice, among these being
the crimping system, the withholding of pay for an
unreasonable time, and denial of the right to share
in salvage money, owing to the fact that they are
exempted from all statutes which protect the seamen
in these rights; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the tenth annual convention of the
International Seamen's Union of America, in regular
session assembled, instructs the Legislative Committee
to draft and use all honorable means to have passed
by the United States Congress a bill whereby fisher-
men will be given the same protection from the evils
before mentioned as other seamen now enjoy.
Prevention of Overloading.
Resolution No. 3, by F. Benson, of the Lake Sea-
men 's Union:
Whereas, During the last few years, and especially
year 1905, an unusually large number of vessels
have foundered at sea, causing not only the total loss
of ships and cargo, but also, in many cases, all hands
sing their crews have perished; and
Whereas, It is an unfortunate fact that the habit
of overloading exists to an alarming extent, especially
among the small carriers on the Great Lakes, and
many disasters can be traced directly to this growing
evil ; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the International Seamen's Union
of America, in convention assembled, instructs its
Legislative Committee at Washington to support any
proper measure for the prevention of overloading.
Seamen 's Legal Rights.
Resolution No. 29, by Wm. H. Frazier, at the At-
lantic Coast Seamen's Union:
Wlnieas, There is a case now in the Massachusetts
courts testing the constitutionality of the Massachu-
setts statutes affecting the seaman's freedom; and
Whereas, There are several statutes of a similar na-
ture in several States; and
Whereas, The Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union has
not the means to carry the case further; therefore, be
it
Resolved, That the International Seamen's Union of
America assume charge of the matter and carry the
ins. up to tne highest courts in the land.
Equipment of Barges.
Resolution No. 30, by Wm. Shaw, of the Lake Sea-
men 's Union:
Whereas, Owing to lack of Government inspection
of sailing vessels and barges, it has become the cus-
tom on the Great Lakes to allow schooners and barges
to sail without sufficient life-saving appliances, and
in some cases without boats of any kind; and
Whereas, Such practices may, if continued, be the
cause of great loss of life ; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the International Seamen's Union of
America, in convention assembled, that legislation for
the remedying of this great evil be secured if possible.
Inspection of Water Tanks.
Resolution No. 9, by N. N. Peterson, of the Marine
Coolra ' and Stewards ' Union of the Great Lakes :
Whereas, A large number of typhoid fever eases
< urred on board Lake steamers during the past
season; and
Whereas, The cause is traceable to the construction
of the water tanks, which construction is such as to
make the proper cleaning of the same impossible;
therefore, be it
Resolved, By the International Seamen's Union of
America, in convention assembled, that we hereby call
the attention of the Surgeon-General of the Marine
Hospital Service to this evil, respectfully requesting
that the matter be investigated, that such steps be
taken as shall result in proper construction and in-
spection of such water tanks.
"Government by Injunction."
Resolution No. 18, by Andrew Furuseth, of the Sail-
ors' Union of the Pacific:
Whereas, The Writ of Injunction was adopted into
our judicial system by the granting of equity power
to the Judiciary in the same way as was the Writ of
Habeas Corpus; and
Whereas, It came to us as it then existed in Eng-
land— that is, for the protection of property where
there was no other adequate remedy at law; and
Whereas, It had ceased for more than a hundred
years to interfere in any way with personal rights;
and
Whereas, Quitting work individually or in unison
with others, or refusing to patronize certain establish-
ments or to purchase certain manufactured articles,
are personal rights inhering in and inalienable from
or by the individual freeman; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the International Seamen's Union of
America, in convention asembled, that we hereby pro-
test against any use of the Writ of Injunction that
will in any way interfere with the right to quit work,
the right to peacefully induce others to refrain from
going to work or to in any way, individually or col-
lectively, buy or refuse to buy any article the maker
or vendor of which is using his industrial jiower to de-
stroy personal liberty; further
Resolved, That we protest against any law being SO
acted which shall authorize the Writ of Injunction
being used after hearing before a court in any mat-
ter involving individual liberty; further
Resolved, That such law would vest in the Judiciary
the power of an irresponsible arbitrator, with the Writ
of Injunction to enforce .his decree.
Improvement of Forecastles.
Resolution No. 16, by Charles Morrissey, of the
Lake Seamen 's Union :
Whereas, The accommodations for crews, especially
in small vessels on the Great Lakes, are insufficient in
size and unhealthy in location and of insufficient ven-
tilation; and
Whereas, Sickness, especially consumption and
rheumatism, is very largely increased by such c li-
tions; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the International Seamen's Union of
America, in convention assembled, that we condemn
the present described conditions, and that we appeal to
Congress to so amend the laws that the size, location
and ventilation of crews' quarters be as far as pos-
sible in accordance with reasonable conditions of
health ; and further
Resolved, That we appeal to our employers and to
the public in general to join with us in this one re-
quest.
Subsidies — Seamen 's Rights.
Resolution No. 17, by John M. Lyons, of the Pacific
Coast Marine Firemen 's Union :
Whereas, There will come before Congress again a
measure known as the Ship Subsidy Bill; and
Whereas, The claims for the necessity of such meas-
ure are, first, that American vessels sailing in the
foreign trade carry a greater number of seamen than
vessels of corresponding size and in the same trade,
sailing under some other flag; secondly, that vessels
under our (lag pay a higher rate of wages; thirdly,
that they furnish a more expensive and better class
of food; fourthly, that such measure is necessary in
order to induce native boys to become seamen and to
train a sufficient number of them for the Navy; and
Whereas, The first three claims are not based upon
facts, it being known to all men at all acquainted
with maritime conditions, that wages depend upon
the port and trade, not upon the flag; and
Whereas, American boys do not seek and remain in
the coastwise trade, owing to conditions therein exist-
ing; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this convention of the International
Seamen 's Union of America hereby protests against
the reasons above given, declaring that from our
knowledge any measure that fails to remedy the evils,
in so far as it can be done, of the daily life of men
at sea will utterly fail in the purpose of bringing the
American boy to sea and of inducing him to remain
there as a man ; further
Resolved, That we urge upon Congress the enact-
ment of some measure which shall remedy these evils
prior to the adoption of any measure which shall
grant a subsidy to any vessels in our Merchant Marine
with the exception of such as carry the mail under
contract with our Government.
Shanghaiing Oystermen.
Resolution No. 27, by Win. Robertson, of the Ma-
rine Firemen's Union of the Atlantic Coast:
Whereas, For many years past the seamen of the
Atlantic Coast have known of and protested against
the continued kidnaping (shanghaiing) going on about
the borders of Chesapeake Bay, and the cruelty prac-
ticed upon helpless victims after they are on board
of those oyster vessels; and
Whereas, We have repeatedly urged that proper leg-
islation be enacted to safeguard the liberty, to protect
the body and the wages earned, of all men going on
whaling and fishing vessels; and
Whereas, Our appeals, so far, have been almost en-
tirely in vain; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we are not at all surprised at the
awful exposures which now, at last, have come before
the public ; and further
Resolved, That we reiterate our prayer that all men
employed at sea be placed under the maritime law —
that is, that all advance of wages be strictly prohibit-
ed; that all garnishment of wages be absolutely abol-
ished; that no deep-sea or bay fishing vessel be per-
mitted to proceed to sea until her crew have been
properly signed before a Shipping Commissioner and
that the payment of any remuneration, by anybody to
anybody, for procuring men for such vessels be pro-
hibited under penalty of fine or imprisonment, or
both; further
Resolved, That these resolutions be sent to the
Committee on Fisheries of the United States Senate,
the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries of
the House of Representatives, and a copy given to the
press.

Our Immigration Problem.
The recent national conference on immigra-
tion held in the Madison Square Garden Con-
cert Hall, New York, under the auspices of
the National Civic Federation, brought to-
gether all sorts and conditions of men having
formed views, pronounced or otherwise, on
the immigration question. As was to be ex-
pected, the opinions enunciated by the various
speakers ranged in scope and nature from the
purely academic to the concrete and ex-
pedient. It was also but natural, perhaps,
that Samuel Gompers, President of the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor, and President Eliot
of Harvard should be diametrically opposed
on all but one phase of the subject under dis-
cussion. This phase was the exclusion by the
Federal authorities of the criminal, the in-
sane and those suffering from contagious dis-
eases, and upon this point the delegates to the
conference were unanimous to a man. It is
reasonably certain, however, that beyond
venting their personal opinions on the issues
growing out of our present policy of prac-
tically unrestricted Caucasion immigration,
the delegates to the conference left the whole
question as unsettled as ever. This, of course,
was due to the great divergence of opinion
prevailing among the delegates, caused in
turn by the fact that though the immigration
question is national in its bearings upon our
social life, yet the viewpoint of each delegate
is more or less affected by his home environ-
ments and social position. Undoubtedly,
therefore, the fairest and most decisive way to
ascertain the will of the majority of the peo-
ple of this country in regard to the immigra-
tion question would be to submit all the pro-
posed solutions of that question to a referen-
dum vote of the whole people. As we are not
civilized enough yet to make use of that means
for expressing the popular will on any given
subject, the next best thing is to pass the
whole immigration question up to Congress
without any further parleys or conferences.
In that way the people's representatives will
be afforded an excellent opportunity to show
just who and what interests they really repre-
sent, cheap labor seeking capital or the great
wage-earning class, which desire to preserve
the standard of living which they have been
at such pains to establish from being under-
mined by the deteriorating influences inci-
dental to a senseless and vicious immigration
policy.
That the question of stopping the tremen-
dous flood of alien immigrants pouring in
upon us is not an easy one to solve is made
plain, perhaps, by nothing so well as by the
failure of our otherwise so strenuous and re-
sourceful President to make any recommenda-
tions in the direction of its solution in his mes
sage to Congress, though what he says on th"
subject indicates that he fully realizes its
grave import to the country. Yet it is becom-
ing more evident to thinking citizens with
eveiy passing year that our immigration pol-
icy must be radically changed if we are to
continue as a nation under present economic
conditions. Last year 1,026,000 immigrants
arrived here, exclusive of those from Canada
and Mexico. Although it is claimed by the
spokesmen for the Administration that our
laws for excluding "undesirable and objec-
tionable foreigners," as Cardinal Gibbons
calls them, are rigorously enforced, only 1,200
men, women and children were deported last
year. Opinions may differ, of course, but no
sane citizen having observed the ethnological
characteristics of the immigrants we have been
admitting of late years can have any doubt
that those 1,200 were only an insignificant
fraction of the number which should have
been deported for the good of the country.
And yet, what is to be the remedy? Restric-
tion based upon creed or nationality is mani-
festly out of the question. Property qualifi-
cations and educational tests, though prac-
ticable, would be unjust to a large class of im-
migrants, among whom are to be found in
abundance the characteristics needed for the
making of good citizens. Restriction merely
of numbers would not insure us against the
admission of undesirable persons, but rather
the reverse; as with the quantity limited,
those European countries who favor emigra-
tion to this country would, of course, encour-
age the departure of their least desirable citi-
zens first.
Something, however, can and should be
done. A head tax, say of thirty or forty dol-
lars, would act as a salutary check, and would
be quite in accordance with our national pro-
tectionist policy. Then, too, the Government
should have competent inspectors placed at
the principal distributing points of emigrants
in Europe to watch that no persons unable to
meet the requirements of our immigration
laws would be shipped to this country. Fi-
nally, the Government should establish, some
sort of system for distributing the newly-
arrived immigrants where they would be most
needed. Commissioner-General of Immigra-
tion Sargent reports that 76 per cent of the
1,026,000 immigrants landed last year remain-
ed in six States — New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey and Ohio.
In other words, under our present immigra-
tion policy — or lack of policy, rather — our
already over-congested cities are being still
more congested, while the parts of the country
which could absorb the major portion of the
flood of immigration with great advantage to
themselves are in many instances actually re-
ceding in point of population. It will be
seen, therefore, that an intelligent distribu-
tion of the immigrants upon their arrival here
would do a great deal in the way of solving
some of the difficulties connected with our im-
migration problem.
But, whatever is to be done in connection
with this matter must be done quickly, before
the inevitable reaction from the present arti-
ficial "prosperity" sets in. The reasons for
promptitude may not be obvious to those
smug, well-fed citizens whose lot in life is as-
sured, come what may, but those who depend
— literally — upon daily work for their daily
bread "view with alarm" the prospect of an
era of "hard times." That this alarm is well
justified must be admitted by those who re-
member the sufferings endured by great num
bers of our wage-earners during former sea-
sons of "hard times" when they reflect thai
in the event of another such season, by reason
of the tremendous immigration of recent
years, Hi'- number of unemployed would be
still greater.
Union Items.
The New York Truck Owners' Association
on Dec. 2, signed an agreement with the
New York Teamsters' Union for 1906, conced-
ing all demands of the Union. This came as
the sequel to an unsuccessful lock-out, which
the Truck Owners had ordered against the
Teamsters. Only thirty-three of the three
hundred Truck Owners, however, obeyed the
order of their Association to lock out the
Teamsters, and they soon weakened when
their customers threatened to withdraw their
custom. The lock-out was badly timed, more-
over, for with the coming on of the holidays,
beginning with Thanks-jiving and ending
with New Year, the trucking done is always
greatly in excess of the amount done at other
seasons of the year. The New York Team-
sters also seem to have level-headed leaders,
for their negotions with the Truck Owners
have been conducting with skill and an entire
absence of that unpleasant acrimoniousness
which is usually inseparable from such affairs.
They have now established the Union Shop in
their industry all over the city of Greater
New York, and their victory has given con-
siderable pain to one C. W. Post, who edits a
monthly called the "Square Deal" devoted to
the interests of a little coterie of eminently
respectable gentlemen, who think that trade-
unions are very wicked institutions indeed.
The Marine Firemen on the Atlantic Coast
some time ago imposed a fine on those mem-
bers who went scabbing during the lockout
by the United Fruit Company in Boston. Re-
cently one of that company's steamers, the
Esparta, arrived at New Orleans with ten of
these backsliders on board who had not as
yet paid the fine. As the vessel needed more
firemen, Organizer Lars Jensen told the mas-
ter that the members on shore would not ship
on the vessel until the ten backsliders had
paid the fine imposed upon them by the Fire-
men's Union. The backsliders were advised
by the master to pay the fine, but refused to
do so, whereupon the master fired them and
shipped a full complement of union men.
Organizer Jensen also reports that he expects
a busy winter season, as several new boats and
lines are expected to make New Orleans their
permanent terminal or port of call.
Organizer Lars Jensen has been denied a
seat in the Central Trade and Labor Council
of New Orleans because, forsooth, he does not
know the "password of the American Feder-
ation of Labor"! Comrade Jensen is the
duly accredited delegate to that body from
the Atlantic Coast Marine Firemen's Union,
and thinks that the refusal to seal him is the
result of underhanded machinations by the
local representatives of the so-called I. L., M.
& T. A. The latter organization, having been
defeated on the Pacific Coast in its efforts to
gain trade jurisdiction over the organized
seamen in that section, is now seeking to re-
venge itself upon the weaker organizations of
seamen on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts by
met hods which should be severely rebuked by
organized labor in general.

The new steam-schooner Bavalli, built for the Ham-
mond Lumber Company, was launched at Eureka, Cal.
The steamer Roanoke, lately damaged by striking
on the Humboldt bar, is at the Union Iron Works for
repairs.
The French bark Admiral Courbet, after a long
voyage of 197 days, arrived at San Francisco on De-
cember 17, with a cargo of Welsh coal from Cardiff.
The United States training-ship Intrepid was plac-
ed in the Mare Island drydock to receive some minor
repairs. It is expected that she will be placed in
commission shortly.
Secretary of War Taft has recommended that Con-
gress appropriate $83,000 for enlarging the channel
from Humboldt bar to Eureka, Cal.
The Pacific Mail 's old steamer Barracouta, captur-
ed on the way to the Siberian Coast from San Fran-
cisco, was recently released and has sailed from Yoko-
hama for San Francisco.
Newspapers published aboard transpacific steamers,
as is done on the Atlantic, are assured for the near fu-
ture by the Marine Publishing Company, in co-opera-
tion with the Occidental Wireless Telegraph Company
of Chicago.
A new German trading schooner named Eanijen
Rakijen was launched from Stone's shipyard at Har-
bor View, San Francisco, on December 15, and taken
to a berth at Greenwich-street wharf to be fitted out
for service in the South Seas.
The Army transport Buford sailed from San Fran-
cisco on December 15 for Honolulu, Guam and Ma-
nila, with a full list of passengers in the cabin, and
the men of the Third Cavalry in the quarters below
decks. Colonel J. H. Dorst is in command of the reg-
iment.
The steamer Humboldt, which has been running on
the route connecting Seattle and Skagway for the
past few months, returned to San Francisco on De-
cember 15, to be overhauled. Among the passengers
arriving on the Humboldt was Max Kalish, her man-
aging owner, accompanied by his wife.
It is reported that the British steamer Plympton,
which towed the French bark Anne de Bretagne in to
Montevideo while the vessel was bound from Swansea
for San Francisco, has put in a claim for 100,000
francs. The Plympton towed the Anne de Bretagne a
week before reaching Montevideo.
It is reported that the steamer Umatilla, from San
Francisco, has been in collision with the schooner
George F. Billings during a dense fog at Tacoma,
Wash. The resultant damage to the steamer was
slight, but the schooner was seriously damaged, and
she will have to be discharged before repairs can be
made.
The steam-schooner Mayfair was launched from the
Lindstrom Shipyards at Aberdeen on December 14.
She was built for Beadle Brothers of San Francisco,
and is 189 feet long, 138 feet beam, and 12y2 feet
hold. Her capacity is 700,000 feet of lumber. This
i3 the third vessel to be launched from this plant with-
in two months.
It was officially announced at the Pacific Mail of-
fices that Chief Officer Arthur O'Neill of the Siberia
would be in command of the liner oi her homeward
passage, but that her future commander had not yet
been decided upon. It is generally believed, however,
that Captain Adrian Zeeder will be given command of
the Siberia upon her arrival.
The whaling steamer Orion, which returned to Vic-
toria, B. C, from the new whaling station on Barkley
Sound on December 14, reports that thirteen whales
have been taken to date, and shipments of bone, oil
and fertilizer to England and Japan will be com-
menced at once. It is expected, when the machinery
is complete, to handle three whales daily, the station
being the largest on this continent.
The members of the Steamship Owners' Association
held their annual banquet on December 16, at an up-
town restaurant in San Francisco, thirty-two members
being present. It has been customary for the associa-
tion to have its annual dinner some time in January,
but on account of the expected departure of the presi-
dent, Robert Dollar, for the Orient, the event was
celebrated earlier than usual.
Following is the reinsurance list as posted at San
Francisco, on December 18: German bark Suzanna,
191 days from Port Talbot for Caleta Buena, 80 per
cent. British bark River Indus, 168 days from Port
Talbot for Iquique, 30 per cent. British ship Mooltan,
123 days from Newcastle, Australia, for Mauritius, 20
per cent. British ship Dumfricshire, 178 days from
Leith for Honolulu, 10 per cent.
The steam-schooner John B. Stetson was launched
on December 15 from a yard at Winslow, Wash.
The Stetson is owned by Ira J. Harmon and asso-
ciates, of whom John B. Stetson is one, and has a
capacity for 800,000 feet of lumber. She will be en-
gined by the Risdon Iron Works, and is to have oil-
burning machinery. The vessel is 87.4 feet long, 32.6
feet breadth and 13.4 feet deep.
Word has been received at San Francisco from
Eagle City, Alaska, by Superintendent of the Railway
Mail A. H. Stephens that mail for the icebound
whalers at Herschel Island will leave Eagle City on
January 15. It will be carried by Captain Amund-
sen, the discoverer of the Northwest passage, who, on
the date mentioned, leaves Eagle City for Herschel
Island, where his ship, the G.joa, is in winter quarters.
The Secretary of the Treasury has, upon request of
Secretary Metcalf, sent to Congress an estimate of
$1,100 to be placed in the urgenl deficiency bill for
the rent of the office of the Shipping Commissioner at
San Francisco. An appropriation of $2,100 will be
required for the next fiscal year for the same purpose,
the Commissioner being compelled to vacate liis old
quarters on account of the razing of the old Custom-
house.
Representative Kahn has introduced a bill in Con-
gress enabling American scalers to apply to the
United States courts for relief in their claims against
the United States for the seizure and destruction of
schooners and other property engaged in sealing in
Bering Sea. Russian, British and Japanese sealers
whose vessels were confiscated have been granted re-
lief, but American sealers have been unable to enter
suit. Several of these parties are San Franciscans.
J. J. Richards, who lias been chief steward of the
Oceanic liner Sierra for many voyages, and who was
lately reappointed to one of the Japanese liners, was
given a farewell reception at Honolulu when he left
the Sierra to take passage on the China for Japan
that would have been flattering to a commanding
officer. After having been presented with a purse
containing $300 in gold, from everybody on the Sierra
from the captain down, he was given three hearty
cheers as he left the ship.
According to the annual report of the Superintendent
of Mails, it cost the Government during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1905, $421,630 more for ocean mail
service under the contract system than it would had
the mails been transported and paid for by weight.
The most disproportionate cases the report shows are
those embracing the routes between San Francisco and
Tahiti and New York and Havana. In the former in-
stance the cost was $42,120 for carrying mails, which,
if paid for by weight, would have been but $1,153.
It is reported that Robert Dollar, head of the Dol-
lar Steamship Company, is to sail for the Orient on
the steamer Hazel Dollar for the purpose of investi-
gating the case of the steamer M. S. Dollar, which
was captured by the Japanese some months ago while
she was en route to Vladivostok with a cargo of
freight. It was announced some time ago that the
M. S. Dollar had been confiscated and would be sold
at auction along with other vessels captured by the
Japanese, and Robert Dollar will be present at the
sale to bid on his steamer.
The French bark McMahon, while lying off Meiggs
wharf, San Francisco, was the scene of what was
officially termed a mutiny, although ashore it would
have passed as nothing more than a drunken row. A
seaman named Olivier, rendered savage by the liquor
he had imbibed, swung a heavy capstan bar for the
captain 's face, connecting with the mark and laying
the captain up for repairs. Olivier was bound and
thrown into the brig immediately after the bloody as-
sault. The captain was hurried to the Harbor Emer-
gency Hospital, where his sole injury, barring a bruised
arm and shoulder, was found to be a deep cut above
the cheekbone on the left side of the face.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country
than all other diseases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a, constitution,']! dis-
ease and therefore requires constitutional treatment.

"Fort McPherson Postoffice, Arctic Circle."
The idea of addressing a letter in such a way
and having it delivered by agents of the Post-
office Department would have been deemed
absurd and impracticable at one time. Today
it has become an establised fact. A few years
ago Edmonton was the remotest, point in the
Northwest Territories reached by the Canadian
postoffice. Beyond, no attempt had been made
to extend postal facilities. Nevertheless there
was a scattered population throughout the vast
area between Edmonton and the Arctic re-
gions wholly unserved by the postoffice. Quietv
ly but steadily, however, the postoffice is em-
braeing this great expanse of territory in the
postal area, and has now in successful opera-
tion, a postoffice at Fort McPherson, a point
on the Mackenzie River, not far from Beau-
fort Sea, situated in latitude 148 north, dis-
tance more than 2000 miles northerly from
Edmonton and nearly 5000 miles from Ottawa.
Between Fort McPherson and Edmonton the
department has been gradually establishing
other postoffices, but owing to their great dis-
tance from each other has supplemented their
work by arranging with the couriers to deliver
mail matter to settlers on the way between the
various offices.
Fancy rural delivery in the Arctic regions!
Yet that is practically what is happening. It
is less than four years since the department
inaugurated its policy of having mail services
and postoffices north of Edmonton. It began
by establishing a mail service between Edmon-
ton and Athabasca Landing, a point on the
Athabasca Kiver about 100 miles from the for-
mer place. This service having been success-
fully carried out, the department in the fol-
lowing year established a mail service between
Athabasca Landing and Peace River Crossing
and Spirit River, a distance of seventy-five
miles; also a service from Peace River Cross-
ing to Fort Vermillion, a distance of about
260 miles. In 1903 successful efforts were
adopted to reach Fort Chipewyan, a point on
Lake Athabasca, distant 400 miles farther
north. Apart from the very great expense in-
volved in these services, the question was
whether they could be successfully performed
throughout the winter. The country being
without roads of any kind, and covered with
ice and snow, the only practicable means of
transportation are dog teams. But three
years' experience in the shorter distance be-
tween Edmonton and Fort Chipewyan having
shown the practicability of this system, last
fall it was determined to make the bold at-
tempt to send his Majesty's mails throughout
I ho winter practically as far north as the Arc-
lie Sea. The experiment carried out through-
out last winter has proved successful, and now
a. permanent postoffice is in operation at Fort
McPherson, served during the winter by dog
teams. — Toronto Globe.

NAVAL AUTHORITIES DISAGREE.
The personnel of our Navy is receiving a
great deal of attention these days, indeed, it
is quite fashionable for men of affairs to air
their views upon this very important subject.
Several of our recognized naval authorities
have also had their say and it appears that
there is a more or less pronounced difference
of opinion as to value of seamanship in mod-
ern naval warfare. For an instance, Admiral
Dewey, the hero of Manila Bay, disagrees
with Congressman Grosvenor, Chairman of
the House Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries. Admiral Dewey, at a banquet
given in Chicago recently, is reported as hav-
ing said :
In these days seamanship does not count so greatly.
The persons who complain of the lack of material for
our growing Navy do not look beyond the fishermen
of the Maine coast. But the day of the New England
fisherman is passing. What the Navy wants now is
men who can handle a machine; wideawake young
Americans, and the establishment of the training sta-
1 ion in the vicinity of Chicago is but an illustration
of where the Government expects to secure the best
men for the service.
Mi-. Grosvenor, in a statement given to the
press recently, said:
We nre building B big Navy, and appropriate some-
thing like $100,000,000 a year for it. But to-day we
cannot effectively man one-half of our warships be-
cause we have not the men trained to the 3ea in suf-
ficient numbers. There never was a nation formidable
upon the sea that was not strong in her Merchant
Marine. Russia had a most formidable Navy on paper
— any nation that has money can build a Navy — but
Russia found that when she went to fight she had no
fighting material. And it is more than likely that
when the next great war comes— and it will come —
the American people will find themselves where Russia
did.
Here we have the views of two authorities,
and we can take our choice. Admiral Dewey
Bays: "Seamanship does not count," and
''what the Navy wants is men who can handle
a machine." In other words, Mr. Dewey
thinks that all this talk about the lack of
material for our Navy is nonsense. Admiral
Dewey also intimates where the Government
expects to secure the "best men" for the ser-
vice. According to this authority the "best
men" are no longer found among the trained
seamen of the New England fishing fleet or
of our Merchant Marine ; far from it, the best
men are to be secured from our inland States.
What is really wanted, says our first-men-
tioned authority, is the wide-awake young
x\merican, who can handle a machine ! All
these beautiful old theories (?) about "the
man before the mast in peace being the man
behind the gun in time of war" have been
completely upset and the day when seamen
and seamanship were factors in naval warfare
lias passed.
Let us, however, consider the statements of
our second authority, before arriving at con-
clusions. Congressman Grosvenor says: "To-
day we cannot effectively man one-half of
our warships because we have not the men
trained in sufficient numbers." Alas, we fear
Mr. Grosvenor is one of those persons who
do not look inland when in need of seamen.
But the Congressman clings to other ancient
notions ; lie says : ' ' There never was a nation
formidable upon the sea that was not strong
in her Merchant Marine." Fudge! Mr.
Grosvenor, that day has passed, or to be cor-
rect, is passing. Has not our own Admiral
Dewey said that OUT Navy wants young Amer-
ican machinists rather than seamen !
Captain Mahan, Lord Brassey and other
eminent naval authorities, who have all agreed
upon the one point that "there can be no
naval effectiveness without skilled seaman-
ship," must take a. back seat if we accept Ad-
miral Dewey's contentions. Yet with all due
respect to that gentleman, who ought to
know whereo he speaks, we cannot and
will not subscribe to his ideas. For
once Congressman 1 1 rosvenor's views meet with
our approval, and though he has, in his official
capacity, opposed every measure which would
improve the condition of the men in the Mer-
chant Marine and has done his very best to
drive American men and boys from the sea,
we endorse every word of his statement here-
in quoted. In this connection, we take the
opportunity to remind Mr. Grosvenor of that
old maxim, which has been handed down from
generation to generation and is as true to-day
as it has ever been: "That the nation that
would be well served on the sea in time of war
must serve her seamen well, not with empty
glorification immediately before and after the
battle, but with substantial justice in time of
peace."
As a reply to Admiral Dewey no words
can be found more fitting than the following
excerpt from the Appendix, entitled "The
American Seaman," which was submitted to
Congress by former Representative Livernash
of California:
Sea power is not necessarily a matter of ships of
war only, even though at the moment they be ade-
quately manned. No nation can afford to maintain in
times of peace a trained naval force in the regular
service sufficiently extensive for the requirements of a
long, exhausting war. Dependence must be on the
Merchant Marine to recruit the broken complements;
and in that stage where two warring nations have re-
sort to such recruiting it may fare ill with the one
whose Merchant Marine is the less skilled.
It is reported in the press that the authori-
ties of Maryland will appeal to Congress dur-
ing this session to enact a law which will pre-
vent the wanton sacrifice of human life aboard
the oyster boats of Chesapeake Bay. The res-
olution relating to the subject which was
adopted at the Seamen's Convention, and is
published elsewhere in this issue, states in con-
cise language what is wanted. The Federal
Government must exercise absolute super-
vision over the oyster fleets in all waters of
the State and the shanghaiing and cruelties
practiced in that industry will soon be a thing
of the past.
EXCLUDE THE JAPS AT HOME !
The San Francisco Labor Council at a recent
meeting, after fully discussing the evils conse-
quent upon unrestricted immigration of cheap
Asiatic labor to this country, unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, Notwithstanding the efforts of organized
labor during the past year to create among the people
of the Western Coast a Bentiment favorable to enforc-
ing of Japanea 1 Korean exclusion; and, whereas,
from the present indication our efforts are being
crowned with success and are now having the desired
effect upon our Eastern co-workers; and, whereas,
Japanese and Koreans are arriving in increased mim-
bers at the Pacific ports of this country, particularly
in Ban Francisco, where a large proportion of them
remain, filling positions formerly held by white people;
and. whereas, we know from past experience that all
legislative bodies have been very slow to act on such
measures and we believe that considerable time will
be wasted unless more enthusiasm is shown by the
masses; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the San Francisco Labor Council
again calls upon its affiliated unions to take such steps
as they deem advisable to check this impending evil;
and, be it further
I ;< solved, That a committee of twelve or more be
appointed to visit all unions in this city and vicinity
for the purpose of appealing to them to cease patron-
izing any firm, store or employer who continues to
employ cheap Asiatic labor; and, be it further
Resolved, That all mercantile, political and fraternal
organizations be requested to lend all possible assist-
ance toward accomplishing the results aimed at by the
exclusion bill which was adopted by the Japanese and
Korean Exclusion League and is about to be place, 1
before Congress; and, be it further
Resolved, That the central labor unions of this Coast
be urged to take similar action.
The Council's action is timely. The people
of the Western States must be consistent if
they desire to impress the nation with their
seriousness of purpose. The most effective
way to show the Japanese, and incidently our
own people who know nothing of the condi-
tions existing on this Coast, that no Asiatic
labor is wanted is to begin a strict exclusion
policy at home as suggested in the above reso-
lution. If the Japs are unable to find employ-
ment in Western cities they may possibly
travel eastward and thus help to arouse in the
East, that healthy sentiment in favor of ex-
clusion which is so sadly lacking at present.
But after all, the brunt of the battle for Jap-
anese exclusion must be borne by Westerners,
for here is the dumping ground of the new
arrivals. California and other Western
States forced this nation to adopt the Chinese
Exclusion Aet and history will doubtless re-
peat itself in the fight for the enactment of
a Japanese and Korean Exclusion Law.
President Roosevelt may swing his big stick
and call the proposal exclusion of Japs pre-
posterous, but if the people of the Pacific slope
are true to themselves the little brown men
will be excluded, sooner or later, regardless
of the President's personal views of the mat-
ter.
Let us all lend a hand in this fight for pre-
serving the purity of our race and thereby
maintain and improve our superior standard
of living. An ounce of practice is worth more
than a pound of protest, therefore let us be-
gin by excluding the Jap at home and in our
immediate vicinity and therein- hasten the ex-
elusion from all America.
And now "Herb." George, President of the
defunct local Citizens' Alliance, has decided
to leave California and look for new and
richer pastures in the East. George is a
fraud : he came to San Francisco as the great,
though self-styled, "Union Buster of Colo-
rado"; now he intends to leave us, but he
never busted anything in San Francisco save
his own reputation as a buster.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
One of San Francisco's daylies is boycotted
by the local Building Trades Council because,
it is alleged, that paper has "repeatedly and
willfully slandered and libeled" and "lied
about" the mechanics and laborers affiliated
with the said Council. All that is said against
the paper in question is probably true ; in fact,
the boycotted paper has not only slandered
and libeled and lied about men, but it has
committed similar crimes against women. Yet
the Journal deems it a duty to protest against
this boycott as we would protest against boy-
cotting any publication that employs union
labor in all its mechanical departments and
lives up to all rules and regulations of the or-
ganizations whose members it employs.
If organized labor would attempt to place
on the boycott list every paper which has at
one time or another slandered and libeled and
lied about its members, there would scarcely
be a strictly "fair" publication in the coun-
try. The American Federation of Labor has
on several occasions discountenanced boycotts
of this nature. At the San Francisco conven-
tion of that body a similar case was disposed
of by instructing the Executive Council to re-
voke the charter of the New Orleans Central
Labor Council unless that body refrained from
officially boycotting a certain paper which
lived up to all rules and regulations of the
local printing trades. The report of the
American Federation of Labor Executive
Council relating to the New Orleans boycott
is applicable to the present case in San Fran-
cisco, as it clearly defines the position of or-
ganized labor in the matter of newspaper
boycotts. Following is the principal part of
the report in question :
While we all reserve to ourselves the right of pat-
ronizing or refusing to patronize any publication, be-
cause of the views and judgment expressed in its col-
umns, yet, as trade-unionists, we have not the moral
right to ' ' boycott ' ' any publication because of the
expression of opinion through its columns.
We do not undertake to say that the statements
complained of, as published by the editor, are justified
or otherwise; we are not in a position to know, but
whatever the expressions may have been, the untram-
meled freedom of the press is so important to the
well-being, not only of organized labor, but to human,
civilized life, that no conceivable circumstance could
arise that would warrant trade unionists, in their or-
ganized capacity, in placing publications upon a ' ' boy-
cott ' ' list for the expression of opinion.
In a recent newspaper interview Mr. Lloyd
C. Griscom, United States Minister to Japan,
is accredited with the following statement :
There is no question but that the travel of Japanese
to the States has fallen off completely since the ob-
jection was raised by the papers on the Coast some
months ago. The Government has taken the matter
up and will only issue so many passports to a certain
number of countrymen each month. In this way the
number to leave their own land is less than before in
years.
This is almost too good to be true. Let us
hope that the Chinese Government will take
similar action and issue "only so many"
passports to the seemingly unlimited number
of business men, professional men, students
and travelers who desire to ' ' visit ' ' America.
To our readers, advertisers and friends we
extend the compliments of the season!
Seamen's Convention.
(Continued from Page 2.)
of one President, six Vice-Presidents and one Secre-
tary-Treasurer. They shall be elected at the annual
convention for the term of one year, and each shall
hold office until his sucessor qualifies.
ARTICLE XII.
Amendments.
Section 1. This Constitution can be amended in
the following manner: By the Convention in regular
session, in which case a two-thirds majority shall be
required to carry such amendment. »
Sec. 2. The Convention may by a two-thirds ma-
jority refer any amendment to a referendum vote.
All propositions submitted to referendum by the Con-
vention or the Executive Board shall be voted upon in
the manner prescribed, as follows:
1. The Secretary-Treasurer shall issue a notice of
referendum vote in the official paper, stating the ques-
tion to be voted upon and the limit that has been
fixed to the time in which such vote shall be taken and
the results returned.
2. He shall prepare and cause to be printed and
distributed to local unions and the branches thereof
a sufficient number of ballots containing the subject-
matter to be voted upon. Such ballots shall be ar-
ranged with voting squares for ' ' Yes ' ' and ' ' No, ' '
and members shall signify their choice by marking
a cross (X) in either square. The ballots shall bear
the seal of the International Seamen 's Union of
America, and none but such official ballots shall be
used by local unions for this purpose.
3. Members shall be qualified to vote (a) if they
are in good financial standing in their local union,
and (b) if their local union is in good financial stand-
ing with the International Seamen 's Union of
America.
4. The Convention or the Executive Board may
order the polls kept open during any number of con-
secutive meetings, not exceeding four, or any num-
ber of consecutive days, not exceeding seven. Local
unions may regulate the manner of voting and of can-
vassing the vote, but shall permit no member to vote
more than once on the same proposition.
5. Within twenty-four (24) hours after the vote
has been counted secretaries of local unions shall re-
turn all used ballots to the Secretary-Treasurer, to-
gether with a report of the results obtained in head-
quarters and the branches. Such report shall bear the
seal of the local union and shall be certified to by
the chairman of the meeting in which such report is
made.
6. The Secretary-Treasurer shall deliver said re-
turns to the Ballot Committee, which shall be compos-
ed of three members of a local union to be designated
by the Executive Board, and who shall be elected for
this purpose by the said local union. Such committee
shall canvass the returns and make a transcript thereof
to the Secretary-Treasurer, who shall cause the same
to be printed in the official paper.
7. If the proposition has received a majority of all
the votes cast by local unions in good standing, the
Secretary-Treasurer shall declare the same carried.
ARTICLE XIII.
Assessments.
1. The following rules must be closely observed by
local unions contemplating a strike or in danger of
being locked out. Failure on the part of any local
union to comply therewith shall work a forfeiture of
all claim to financial assistance.
2. In ease a disagreement occurs between any local
union and its employers, which may result in a strike
or lockout, the matter in dispute shall first be submit-
ted to the local District Grievance Committee for ad-
justment. Should such committee fail to reach a set-
tlement, the Secretary-Treasurer shall immediately be
communicated with. He shall at once proceed to the
seat of trouble or appoint some member, preferably a
member of the Executive Board, to act as his deputy
there. Together with the District Grievance Commit-
tee, or a sub-committee thereof, he shall use all honor-
able means to reach a peaceable settlement. If his
efforts shall prove futile, he shall order a vote to be
taken by all the local unions represented in the Dis-
trict Grievance Committee on the question of indors-
ing the proposed strike and of calling a strike of all
members employed on the vessels belonging to the em-
ployers involved.
3. Should such vote be decided in the affirmative
by a two-thirds majority, the Secretary-Treasurer
shall at once make a report to the members of the
Executive Board, giving a full statement of the diffi-
culty, the efforts at settlement, the number of men
involved, or liable to become involved, and also his
recommendations as to the course to be pursued, and
the Executive Board shall have the power to submit
to a vote of the membership the proposition of levy-
ing an assessment for the support of such strike.
4. Such vote shall be taken in accordance with the
provisions of Article XII; provided, that the Execu-
tive Board may, in case of urgency, order the results
obtained in local unions transmitted by telegraph.
5. Assessments shall not be levied in excess of one
dollar ($1.00) per month per member, nor for more
than three (3) months in any one fiscal year.
6. Assessments shall be payable to the Secretary-
Treasurer from the treasuries of local unions upon the
basis of the average number of members in good
standing during the preceding year.
7. If any local union is financially unable to meet
the assessment, such local union shall file a statement
of its financial statement with the Executive B<
which sh;ill have the power to release such local union
from payment of assessment in whole or in part.
8. The Secretary-Treasurer shall supervise the dis-
tribution of the defense fund thus raised. Ben
shall be payable therefrom only to members after
they have reported daily for watch and picket duty
for two weeks, then at the rate of three dollars (*:: 00)
pel- week, ami such pay shall continue until the strike
or lockout is declared off, or until the member obi
employment.
9. During the progress of the strike or lockout the
secretaries of local unions affected shall make weekly
reports to the Secretary- Treasurer, showing the
amount of money paid oul for benefits.
10. The Executive Board shall have the power,

Compared with previous years, the list of
dead in 1896 was 66 in 1807 if was SS : 95 in
1898; an even hundred in 1899; 110 in 1900;
122 in 1901; 140 in 1902; 94 in 1903, and 49
m 1904. Last year bul 2 sailors lost their lives
in what might be called shipwrecks. This
year the number lost in storms was 124.
Lake Erie, which led the list of dead for a
number of years, the past season gave place
to Lake Superior, where ninety-five sailors
were lost, as compared with forty for Lake
Erie, thirty-eight for Lake Huron, fifteen for
Lake Michigan, ten for Lake Ontario, eleven
for the Detroit-St. Clair River passage and six
for the Soo passage.
Thirty-nine fell overboard and were drown-
ed and twenty met death by falling in the hold.
Fifteen were killed by accidents to machinery
cither on shipboard or on docks, ana the loss
of nine lives was due to collision. Four were
killed by explosions and four committed sui-
cide. Four died on shipboard from exposure
or natural causes.
Of the millions of passengers carried on
Lake boats, but two were lost. One was a sui-
cide, and the other passenger simply disap-
peared.
As soon as the statistics can be compiled, a
detailed account of the exact number of deaths
of members belonging to the Lake Seamen's
Union and the amount of benefits paid, indi-
vidually and collectively, will be published.
The world's largest steamship, the Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria, 684 feet long, 25,000 tons,
was launched on August 24, at the Vulcan
yards, Stettin. The new boat belongs to the
Hamburg- American Line and will have a net
tonnage of 21,000. The engines indicate 17,200
horsepower; the speed will be 17 knots an
hour, so that the trip from Europe to New
York will be made in seven and one-half days.
In addition to the regular dining room, the
ship will be supplied with a restaurant a la
carte and with electric elevators and an elec-
trically lighted bathroom.
A tigress in Bunnah that had a record of
having killed more than 800 persons was kill-
ed lately by two English engineers.

Lunacy in London.
London has 26,739 persons on its lists of
lunatics. Of these, 24,282 are supported by
the rates. The county council is at its wits'
end trying to devise accommodations for the
rapidly increasing numbers of the city's in-
sane. January 1, 1904, England and Wales,
with about 32,000,000 inhabitants, had 117,-
199 insane persons — an increase of 3,234 over
1903. The ratio of the insane to every 10,000
of the population went up from 34.14 to 3471
in twelve months. This almost incredible and
dangerous increase is far beyond the recorded
increase in the Kingdom's population. In-
deed, the decade 1894-1904 shows that the
number of the insane was as 1 to 327 in 1894
and as 1 to 288 in 1904. At this rate of in-
crease the end of England's supremacy in
many lines is in sight. Luckily, before it is
too late, legislation may devise methods of
meeting the matter and securing a remedy.
Up to date all efforts at a successful ex-
planation have been unavailing. The expense
of fitting up quarters for these people has
forced London and other places to a serious
consideration and investigation of the whole
problem and all points connected therewith. —

United States Vice and Deputy Consul John

torpedo boat) flying a large red danger flag,
Ships should give this tender a wide berth.

The Panama Canal
The cost of the sea level canal is estimated
by the Engineers at about $230,000,000. Al-
though this amount seems much larger than
the amount necessary for the construction of
the lock canal, it is said by the advocates of the
sea level plan to be in reality only compara-
tively slightly higher. It was pointed out in a
neeiit meeting of the Board of Con-
sulting Engineers that a lock canal would
jessitate between $30,000,000 and $40,-
000,000 as payment for the private grounds
and the lands belonging to the Repub-
lic of Panama, which would be inundat-
ed by the construction of the lock system.
This item, in the view of the majority of the
Board, is entirely done away with by the
adoption of the sea level canal.
As for the time it will tafce to construct the
sea level canal several members of the Board
have expressed the opinion that the construc-
tion of the sea level canal will not in reality
take so very much more time than that of the
lock canal, and if no unexpected difficulties
are met with it should not require more than
two or three years addition. The locks would
have been so large, in their view, that even the
drawing of the plans for them would have
taken considerably more than a year, and the
building of cement construction calls for a
higher class of wrorkmen than the ordinary
laborers used for the digging of the canal.
The tropical conditions of the Isthmus, the
sea level advocates contend, also militates
nuie against this class of labor. The. majority
of the engineers take the position that the
building of the sea level canal should not take
more than fifteen years.
It is expected that ships will be able to go
through the canal under their own power.
When two ships will have to pass each other
in the canal one will have to stop and wait to
allow freer navigable conditions for the indi-
vidual ship in the restricted space.
Railway Accidents.
Recent disastrous railway accidents in Cer-
many will probably lead to the general intro-
duction and use of wireless telegraphy on all
the State railways. Two years ago exhaustive
practical experiments were commenced and
continued until recently on the military rail-
way leading from Berlin to Zossen. The tele-
graph stations on the route were each fitted
up with a transmitter and receiver, while the
trains were equipped with the same appara-
tus. The ordinary telegraph wires along the
track were also used to facilitate the work.
The experiments proved conclusively that the
different stations could at any time communi-
cate with a train running at full speed and
warn it of impending danger. The use of
wireless telegraphy in this connection would
especially safeguard trains on one-track rail-
ways from danger. It is not expected that the
expense of supplying stations and passenger
trains with the necessary apparatus will be
much beyond the budget allowed each year
for the purpose of repairing old signals and
introducing new appliances and inventions
which have for their aim the protection of life
and limb in railway travel.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
A Growl from the Galley.
During the past year there has been much
"caloric" wasted in discussing the alleged
derelictions of duty on the part of members of
the Marine Cooks' and Stewards' Association.
The Seamen's Journal being the only
medium by which the various units compos-
ing the I. S. U. A. can exchange their views
we desire the privilege of talking back.
One of the maxims of war is that the "best
defense" is to take up a "strong offensive."
We are therefore desirious of calling attention
to some of the derelictions on the "other side."
We have no desire to create ill-feeling, where
nothing but kindly feelings exist— for the
Lord knows that the Cooks have few friends
enough — but we write for the purpose of call-
ing attention to the narrow, unreasonable, and
ungenerous tone of comment adopted by a
few of the owners, agents and masters of ves-
sels in their dealings with the authorized
agents of the Marine Cooks and Stewards.
After many years "hash pounding,"
"scraping and contriving," we have come to
the conclusion that shipping men — owners,
agents, and masters — are to be divided into
three classes. 1st. Those who are honest and hon-
orable gentlemen, and there are many of them
who have the interest of the seamen at heart,
and endeavor to treat them as they would wish
to be treated themselves. 2d. Those who desire
to be called honest and honorable, but who
really don't care a "tinker's dam" if their
men are well-fed, well-housed, and consider-
ately treated, or not, so long as the work is
done and dividends are declared, acting upon
the old principle, "When Jack is dead Bill will
take his place. ' ' 3d. Those who are not hon-
est nor honorable, and make no pretense to be
so, who associate and do business through
the crimp and boarding master, endeavor to
keep the "Doctor" in a condition of serfdom,
causing friction between him and the sailor at
every opportunity by furnishing an insuffici-
ent amount of supplies and those of the poor-
est quality ; virtually placing the galley at a
disadvantage. Again, this class of men treat
"Doc" with inconsiderate harshness at every
opportunity, causing him to become careless
in his duties, which, of course, leads to drunk-
enness in port, causing him to leave his vessel
before the expiration of the period shipped
for, thus creating a class of men who are op-
probiously called "one trippers," men who
are the prey of butchers, grocerymen, whisky
sharks and cigar peddlers.
Another evil contended with is that our
worst element, the discouraged, the discontent-
ed, the union scab, can count with confidence
upon the material support of the crimps who
are employed by the "other side." They do
not hesitate to promote corruption and chican-
ery among our dissatisfied members and do
not shrink from aiding and abetting any in-
iquity that is contemplated, so long as it will
hit the Union in the neck.
It is not too much to say that the class of
owners, etc., to which we refer, wish us to do
wrong, wish us to be injured by our "bad
actors," exult when they do wrong, and ill
conceal their vexation when anything is done
by the Union for the promotion of concord,
peace and good will.
Wise and beneficent measures have been pro-
posed by the Union which have been met with
captious criticism and contempt and rejected
for no other purpose but to cause disagree-
ments and ill-feeling. Those who rejoice over
our mistakes — and we make mistakes be-
cause we are men and not angels —
and who place obstacles in the way of
our improvement have, of course, a reason
for doing so. They desire to monopolize all
the virtues of the "water-front." the pimp,
the crimp, and the bucko, all embryonic an-
gels; put up jobs are unknown, and from their
point of view the "Doctor" is a drunk, a bum,
and incapable; all rascality and discrimina-
tion is born at the foot of Mission street and
the resort at East street is the place whore each
and every man employed ought to be wearing
a white robe and a golden crown, singing,
"We are too good to live."
At the very best then, the men of whom we
complain are encouraging evil that good may
come of it — to them — and this puts them in
a class, concerning whom we have high author-
ity for saying, "Their damnation is just."

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
Walter Macarthur, of the Sailors' Union
of the Pacific, spent the time intervening be-
tween the conventions of the American Fed-
eration of Labor and the International Sea-
men's Union of America in New York City.
During his stay there the various seamen's or-
ganizations took advantage of his allocution-
ary powers to have him address several mass-
meetings. Besides the mass-meeting held
under the auspices of the Atlantic Coast Sea-
men's Union, Comrade Macarthur also ad-
dressed the Cooks and Stewards and the Ma-
rine Firemen at their respective meeting halls.
The other speakers on these occasions were
Comrades William Robertson and Daniel Sul-
livan of the Marine Firemen, and Henry P.
Griffin of the Cooks and Stewards' Associa-
tion. All the mass-meetings were duly an-
nounced by the local press, and were well at-
tended. A noticeable feature connected with
them was the interest with which the men
listened to Comrade Macarthur 's recital of
the history of the formation and subsequent
progress of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific,
and its share in bringing about the passage of
the several laws which have done so much to
improve the lot of American merchant sea-
men.
The Sailors on the Atlantic Coast also re-
port conditions fair, and, as a matter of fact,
are doing more shipping than all those people
put together, who had so much to say a couple
of years ago about breaking the Sailors'
Union up "inside of six months." The
"American Seamen's Federation," which be-
gan its career with such an "up-and-at- 'em-
boys" slap-dashery a couple of years ago, is
now reduced to the status of the ordinary
coastwise shipping master with desk room in
the rear of some gin mill. That is to say, the
men in charge have to ship enough scrubs to
pay all the expenses incurred in running their
offices, including their salaries, for the At-
lantic Carriers' Association is not doing busi-
ness any longer on the same side of the street.
The result is that they have a hard time mak-
ing a living owing to the sharp competition of
the other shipping masters, and their plight
may be judged from the fact that they are
hustling for the shipping of cattle tenders,
the lowest branch of the whole business.
The "new woman" will not be denied even
though she may not vote or grow whiskers.
The latest census returns show that more than
5,000,000 women are employed in our indus-
trial life, and that there are now three times as
many women stenographers as there were ten
years ago, while the number of women book-
keepers and accountants has doubled. The
number of women engaged in other occupa-
tions also shows a corresponding increase.
With so many charming bread-winners to
choose from, it is small wonder that the aver-
age young man prefers marriage to a
"career."
There is one consolation in being a poor
man nowadays, anyway. No one is sufficient-
ly interested in him to ask: "Where did he
get it?"
The great need of the age is men who will
preach less Christianity and practice more
humanity.
Fag Ends.
A merry Christmas to everybody!
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall !
One stayer in a good cause is worth a hun-
dred quitters.
A life entirely free from care would not
he worth the living.
The political boss comes high, but free-bom
American citizens we must have him.
This is the time to lay in a supply of New
Year resolutions.
Few strive so hard yet harvest less of last-
ing joys and happiness as he who leads an
idle life devoid of cares and gainful strife.
It is the same old Congress that the coun-
try has on its hands again, making believe
thai there is the devil to pay and "nothing
doing."
"The political boss must go," is the latest
slogan of the percmnial reformer, which inter-
preted, means that some one one is looking for
the boss's job.
In polities it is particularly true, as every
member of the Grand Army of Defeated Of-
fice-Seekers can testify, that "many are called
but few are chosen."
After four years' "work" on the Panama
Canal no one knows yet whether it is going
to be a sea level canal, or a lock canal, or just
an ordinary engineering fiasco. It is to
laugh!
The displacement of the battleships in our
Navy has been almost doubled in the last fif-
teen years, but the ration money of the blue-
jackets has had its purchasing power reduced
thirty-three per cent in the same time.
It is now that the shivering fancies of
the dungaree-clad sailorman on the Banks of
Newfoundland interpret every moaning blast
of the icy nor 'wester as saying: "What have
you done with last, summer's earnings?"
President Roosevelt's message to Congress
this year was so long that the newspapers had
to print it in installments. Mr. Roosevelt has
evidently "got wise" to the philosophy that
"language was given to man to conceal his
thoughts with."
"The beautiful snow" is with us again,
likewise Santa Claus, Tom and Jerry, La
Grippe, Old Boreas, the coal man, and other
camp-followers of bleak December. All in
favor of an early spring please hold up their
right hand.
A zephyr fanned the placid sea. The cres-
cent moon rose on our lee, and threw her pal-
lid rays upon the scene. The starry beacons
of the night diffused their faint and twink-
ling light, and decked each wavelet wTith a
glimmering sheen. (Extract from the

Revenge.")

of the Tobacco Trust resulted imsat is
t'actorily, and that they will now seek a
conference with the management of that
monopolistic concern.
The Sydney Laundry Employes' Union
unanimously decided to federate with the
Victorian and Southtralian kindred or-
ganizations, also to take the necessary
steps to bring about the organization.
Queensland laundry employes are unor-
ganized, and will therefore not partici-
pate in the benefits to be derived by this
federation.
The lockout in the engineering trades
in Sweden, which began on June 10, and
by which some 17,000 workmen were af-
fected, has terminated. Work was re-
sumed on November 13. The settlement
was brought about by a committee, in-
cluding representatives of employers and
workpeople, the formation of which was
due to the initiative of the Ministers of
Finance and of the Interior.
Of the 162,030 members of 929 Trade
Unions, which made returns to the
French Labor Department as to the state
of employment of their members during
September, 12,407, or 7.7 per cent were
out of work in the month, as compared
with 8.6 per cent in the previous month,
and 10.5 per cent in September, 1904.
The foregoing figures are exclusive of
the unions of miners in the Nord and
I 'as- de-Calais departments.
Forty-one disputes (one described as a
lock-out) were reported to the Italian
Labor Department as having begun in
September, as compared with sixty in
August. The number of workpeople
directly affected by thirty-four of the
September disputes was 10,959, as com-
pared with 11,129 affected by fifty of the
disputes of August. Agriculture and the
transport trades were chiefly affected by
labor disputes in September.
Thirty-five disputes were reported to
the Austrian Labor Department as hav-
ing begun in September, the number of
workpeople taking part in thirty of these
being 2,237. The trades in which dis-
putes were most frequent were building
and wood-working, in each of which
there were eight in September. The re-
sults were reported in the case of twenty-
five disputes, seven of which terminated
in favor of the workpeople, five in favor
of the employers and thirteen in a com-
promise.
Five instances of recourse to the Law
on Conciliation and Arbitration were re-
ported to the French Labor Department
as having taken place during September,
the Justice of the Peace having taken
the initiative in four cases, and the
workpeople in one. In two cases the
proffered mediation was declined by the
employers. In two of the remaining
three cases conciliation committees were
formed, and one dispute was settled. In
the remaining case the dispute was set-
tled by the Justice of the Peace in per-
son.
Forty-five disputes were reported to
the French Labor Department as having
occurred during September, the same
number as in the previous month ; the
number occurring in September, 1904,
was fifty-three. The number of work-
people taking part in thirty-seven of the
new disputes was 15,057, as compared
with 7,538 who took part in forty-four
of the disputes of the previous month,
and 17,341 who took part in the disputes
of September, 1904. The trades in which
disputes were most frequent in Septem-
ber were the metal, textile and trans-
port, with ten, seven and six disputes re-
spectively.
Letters are advertised for six months
and kept at the Sailors' Union Office for
twelve months, all told. If not called
for at the expiration of one year letters
will lie returned to the Postoffice.

THE "RED RECORD" UP-TO-DATE.
Brutality on Maryland Oyster Vessels.
Newspaper Exposures of Methods in Vogue.
THE investigation of the death of three men on
an oyster dredge near Deal Island, Md., under
circumstances which indicate to newspaper ob-
servers that they had been foully dealt with by their
masters, has brought to light the startling fact that
a veritable system of "white slavery" prevails in the
oyster business in the upper waters of Chesapeake
Bay, says the Literary Digest. The newspapers, and
particularly the Philadelphia Press, have adduced
volumes of evidence showing that the oyster-boat cap-
tains have not only treated their men with great
brutality and injustice, but that they also recruit their
crews by ' ' shanghaiing, ' ' through unscrupulous char-
acters under the guise of shipping agents, the out-
casts and unfortunates who haunt the river fronts of
Philadelphia and New York. This nefarious trade
and outrageous practise are spoken of as having been
going on for a long time. The Philadelphia Tele-
graph says that ' ' the tales of brutal coercion and even
murder which are now being told are simply repeti-
tious of what has been told for years. ' ' Gov. Edwin
Warfield, of Maryland, who is now taking steps to put
an end to the evil, speaks of "the wholesale taking of
life, aud inhuman and almost barbarous treatment of
men regularly enrolled as seamen aboard oyster-boats ' '
as a common practice of long standing which has cost
"more than three thousand lives;" and the Phila-
delphia Inquirer remarks :
There i3 really nothing unique about the stories of
brutality that come out of Chesapeake Bay. Some in-
stances where men have been shanghaied and driven
to their deaths on the Baltimore oyster-boats have
just come to light in such a manner as to hold the at-
tention of the public, that is all. As a matter of fact
this sort of thing has been going on for many years.
Outrageous treatment of the men, cruelties almost
beyond belief, murders that have been common enough
—this constitutes the normal life aboard a Chesapeake
oyster-dredger.
All this has been known to the authorities, and
yet nothing has been done. It is the shame of Mary-
land. The old sea tales of the period when the
oceans were plowed by sailing-vessels and steamships
were unknown were always filled with the horrors of
life before the mast under brutal captains, but even
buccaneering days could not furnish examples of
cruelties more atrocious than to-day accompany the
search for oysters in the Chesapeake. .So difficult has
it become to secure crews that men are lured to Balti-
more from Philadelphia; that ravi immigrants just
landed on the docks are drugged and thrown aboard
an oysterman and driven to work under blows.
This inhuman, this barbarous system lms never been
broken up. Under the noses of the authorities in
Baltimore shanghaiing has been going on. The stories
of cruelty brought back by half-starved and badly
battered crews have gone for naught. Baltimore has
been content to let matters alone. The State of Mary-
land can maintain an oyster navy to drive boats from
forbidden grounds and to prevent Virginia dredgers
from encroaching on Maryland territory, but there is
never any time to search out the brutes who commit
crimes and carry on in so high-handed a manner.
The oyster dredging business is now at its height;
and Marshal Langhammer, of Baltimore, reports that
large numbers of impressed and maltreated seamen
have escaped and come to him asking for assistance,
justice, and revenge. ' ' The stories I have heard from
the lips of these poor wretches," says the marshal,
' ' have been heartrending ' ' ; and they convince him
that the rumors of "brutality aboard the oyster fleet
are not exaggerated." The wrongs which seem to be
most commonly perpetrated by these "iron-hearted,
hard-fisted sea wolves of the Chesapeake" upon their
employes are to underfeed, overwork, threaten, beat,
and whip them, and finally to cast them ashore with-
out paying them the wages agreed upon. The methods
resorted to by the shipping agents to lure the shang-
haied seamen aboard are graphically illustrated by
the following story related by a man named Grim,
who was "crimped" by an agent in Philadelphia.
Says this victim, as quoted in the- Press of that city:
I was engaged by a runner in the shipping office in
Front street, below Walnut. There were about twelve
of us who were taken out to the Baltimore & Ohio
station. Before going there they gave us some rum —
that was the worst stuff I ever tasted. On the way to
Baltimore half the men were drunk. When we reach-
ed Baltimore we were hustled into a wagon and taken
to an office, where tin cups of rum were again given
us. Then we were taken aboard a small launch and
brought to the oyster-boat. We were no sooner on the
boat before the captain and his two sons began their
brutal treatment. The captain had a double-barreled
shotgun, and day after day he threatened to throw
us overboard. William Merz, who came from this
city, was on the boat, and was sick from the first.
He would have died in the hold of the vessel if we
had not made a determined stand to have; him sent
ashore. They gave him water to drink in which cab-
bage had been boiled two days before. Another man
was sick, when the captain dragged him across a pile
.of oysters by the neck. He declared that if he didn't
stop playing sick he would send him win - tie I id. In 'I.
see daylight. A negro on board was assaulted by the
captain's son and was brutally beaten and kicked.
The Philadelphia Press declares in its report on the
situation that it is openly charged in Maryland that
political influence is largely responsible for the long
toleration of the Chesapeake Bay outrages. "In
,ii;i„v instances, " says The I'm--:. "State officials b
shielded the guilty captains." Othei papers are also
inclined to take this view, and furthermore Been to
think that on account of the great political power
which is pi 1 - ■::'"',l "' ll"' oyster-
dredging busini thi of Maryland will bi
able single handed to suppi the I rouble, Hi n»
a call has been made upon the t deral Government
for assistance, which Governor Warfield has heartily
endorsed in the following v. in
As Governor of the State of Maryland I will wel
come an opportunity to confer with President Koose-
velt, Governor Pennypacker, and any other State or
Federal officials who wish to see eliminated a despic-
able system, unparalleled for brutality.
The Philadelphia Dispatch discusses the subject
matter editorially, as follows:
The tragedies that have been and no doubt arc
still being enacted on the oyster boats of the Chesa-
peake Bay, with which the news columns of the daily
papers are now rife show that men can be virtually
kidnapped from the streets of Philadelphia and sent
into slavery on the Chesapeake oyster boats, most of
them to be put ashore penniless after months of bit-
ter toil, some of them even to be murdered and flung
'overboard. Such a condition of affairs seems incredible
in this civilized community so well protected by the
Courts and the police, and yet that it actually exists
there can be no shadow of a doubt.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the
atrocious system is the audacity of those who profit
by it. Men are lured into low water-front resorts,
plied with dosed liquor until they are helpless and
shipped in squads to Baltimore, where they are guard-
ed until distributed among the wretched craft that
work the oyster beds. Once aboard, there is no
escape for them, for the boats remain down the bay
for months at a time.
It is no excuse that the men so entrapped and lured
into slavery are drunkards and often members of the
class known as wharf rats, for no matter hew abject
and fallen they may be, such a system is a bold strike
against universal liberty, and what effects and en
dangers the life and liberties of these besotted drunk-
ards, would, if continued, endanger the life and liberty
of the most respectable citizen. To entrap free men
on the streets and drag them into slavery savors too
much of the press gang methods in England a century
ago.
The Baltimore authorities plead thai Hey are un-
able to cheek the system. If this be tine, it is time
that the Federal Government undertook the task.
The Philadelphia Item makes the significani remark
that the charges which are now brought forward were
"threshed out years ago and found to bo true." The
same paper thinks that the present renewal oi
charges "shows thai the authorities have dune nothing
to break up the practice. ' '
The Brooklyn (N. Y.) Eagle says:

ed. One reason for this laxity is th:it the village com-
munities from which the oyster eaptaisa are supplied
hare been used to this kind of thing all their lives,
ami have ceased to regard as cruel or unusual a con-
duct that would stir the wrath of all civilization if it
exhibited in our cities. It is therefore neces-
sary that government, which has made a few feeble
forays into this department of industry from time
to time, should really exert itself and put a stop to
barbarism. The traditions of the sea have always
been severe, but because apprentices were mast-headed
and whaled fifty years ago it is no reason why
abused by crimps and brutes
lay. A month of vigorous work would reform the
people of the Chesapeake.
The Washington, D. C, Star, describes the situation
and condemns the methods in vogue on oyster vessels
in unmeasured terms and concludes with the follow-
ing:
Here, then, is a gang of pirates — for they are no
l,.ss— working within a few miles of the federal capi-
tal, plying their atrocious traffic for months at a
time without molestation. The oyster navies of Vil
ginia and Maryland are absurdly inadequate to cope
with the evil. The forces of the United States alone
are competent to round up the brutes and release their
victims. And when this has been done, and the crim-
inals have been jailed, some provisions should be made
for a regular federal patrol of these waters, to insure,
if possibl. repetitions of such offenses against
the laws of humanity.
Coal in Spitzbergen.
A rding t<> Export, a German publica-
tion, coal mining has been commenced at Ad-
vents Bay, "ii the west coast of Spitsbergen.
The discovery of coal is one of the results
achieved by the Swedish expedition sent out
to study the geology of Spitzbergen. Two
expeditions for mining coal were fitted out,
partly in Norway, with English and Ameri-
can capital. About 200 tons of coal were
mined this summer, of which ninety tons
were taken by a Spitzbei-o'eii whaling com-
pany. The coal burns well, but is liable to
less Erom went her changes, which would pre-
vent its being stored in the open for any
length of time.
The expense of mining is considerable, as
it must include strong bulwarks for protec-
tion against ice. Freights are high, as ships
desiring to carry coal must go in ballast to
Spitsbergen. However, the whaling and
tourist ships which visit Spitsbergen should
-el eoaJ here. The English party will stay
at Spitsbergen this winter, hut the American
expedition will return to Norway. Next year
the American company will continue its work
into I he winter. It may be mentioned that a
eryolith mine has been in operation for some
time at [wigtut, Greenland.
Consul- General Holloway, of Halifax, says
a great many Americans are migrating to
Canada. It appears thai the immigration in-
to Canada from the United Slates during
the year ended June 30, 1905, as compared
with the preceding year shows a decrease of
1.CJS. There was. however, a net increase of
15,935 in the total number of immigrants
into Canada for the year. Of the total en-
tries (1,182) made in Canada during the
month of June by persons from the United
States. 144 were from the Dakotas, 258 from
Minnesota, 04 from the State of Washington,
56 from Kansas, 50 from Wisconsin,
42 from Michigan, 38 from Montana, 29
Erom Illinois. 23 Erom Oregon, and 22
from Idaho. A heavy influx of settlers
Erom the Coiled States into the Nicola and
Similkameen valleys, British Columbia, is re-
ported.

Zenith of Race Reached.
The American race has reached its zenith,
according to at least one man of noted auth-
ority. Prof. Edward Ross, sociologist of the
University of Nebraska, who a few years ago,
was asked to resign from the faculty of Le-
land Stanford University on account of bis
radical socialist views, lectured to University
students recently on the subject, "The
Sources of Americanism." In the course of
bis remarks he declared that the American
race — and he insisted that there is a distinct
American race — had progressed as far as it
is likely to progress.
The loss of the vast frontiers, the equal
distribution of population and the tendency
toward grouping of vast numbers in the large
cities were given as his reason for believing
that the race had run its onward course. The
noted educator explained that he did not
mean by this that the race would begin to
show decline and decay at once. He pro-
claimed the American race the greatest in the
world, but predicted that it would have to
stand still for a long time now and that neith-
er progress nor decline would be noticeable
for years.
There is a distinct American race, contrary
to most opinion, the Professor said. This
race has been most progressive. It is true
that most of our progress has been due to the
natural resources of the country, yet a great
deal of it is due entirely to the peculiar stable
inherent qualities of our people.
If our population in 1880 had been made
up exclusively of English, French, Germans
or any other race of Eui*opean people we
would not have made the great progress thai
has been made. Though we were the dump-
ing ground of Europe in the Colonial days,
we got better people than we left behind. The
immigrants were not better mentally or more
noble, but were superior in strength and en-
ergy. Our frontier life made the nation. The
people met the hard knocks of life and grew
strong from their contact with nature.
Anthropologically speaking, however, the
American race has reached its zenith. We
no longer have any frontier and the loss
of this important element in our progress has
been weakening. The population of the coun-
try is coining to be equally distributed
throughout the country. Our young men are
now going chiefly to the man-stifling cities.
There they have smaller families. There are
more celibates now. The city is a blast fur-
nace in which men are made incandescent
with fervid heat. The next moment they
turn into cinders.
The nation has never recovered fully from
the effects of the Civil War. Half a million
of our best men were sacrificed in that COD
fiict, and now the flower of the South is gone.
In proof of this I call your attention to the
fact that the leaders in statesmanship before
the war came from the South, but not now.
The South was robbed of its statesmen, while
in the North the rot of graft crept in. The
race has been diluted by a stream of unselect-
ed immigrants. In colonial times we got many
of the best of the European people. We are
now tapping a lower strata.
Americans are taller than their European
cousins. We are a tall and a slim race. The
cheek bones show distinctly in the pictures.
Cook at the symbolic pictures of Uncle Sam
and John Bull. Uncle Sam is shown as tall
and slim, while John Bui] is the opposite. The
chief traits of the American race are energy
and will power. Americans always go in for
efficiency and results. They praise the rush
and condemn the poor. The activity of the
American has placed a damper on lust. The
social relations in America are higher than
in Europe as a result.
Americans intend to speak the truth, but
their desire to win leads to a combat between
the desire for truth and the aim to win. The
intense activity of the race has robbed it of
comfort. Willi all its energy and persever-
ance the people have yet to learn how to relax
and enjoy their leisures.
Americans have failed in literature and art
because the men have been busy with world-
building, while the women alone have given
attention to art. Chicago Chronicle.
Canada-Australia Line.
On August 14, the Canadian Minister of
Trade and Commerce entered into an agree-
ment with the Union Steamship Company, of
New Zealand (Limited), as managing agents
of the Canadian- Australian Royal Mail Line,
for the continuance of the Australian steam-
ship contract for a further period of one year
from the first day of August, 1905. This re-
newal contract provides for the same four-
weekly mail service to be furnished for a fur-
ther term of twelve months from the first day
of August, 1906, unless either party gives no-
tice three months before July 31. 1906. The
Canadian Government is to pay a subsidy of
£37,090 18s. 2d. per annum, this being an in-
crease of £3,000 upon the Canadian subsidy
previously paid. A like increase of £3,000 is
to be made to the subsidy paid by the Aus-
tralian Government. The total subsidy under
this new arrangement to be received by the
Canadian-Australian Royal Mail Line from
the different governments is. it is understood,
£(14.500.
Illiteracy in Russia.
Consul Liefield, of Freiburg, Baden, calls
attention to the fact that according to the Rus-
sian census of 1897, published last June, 78.9
per cent of the population can neither read
nor write. He reports that the census shows
that of the 126,586,525. which constitute the
total population of the Empire. 99,070,436, or
78.9 per cent, are illiterate. One hundred and
four thousand three hundred and twenty-one
students attended universities or other higher
institutions of learning. The secondary
schools contained 99,948 pupils; the primary
scl Is. 1,072,977. and the military schools.
77,441. On the basis of social standing the
census shows 96,896,648 peasants, 13,386,392
lower city dwellers, 8,297,965 nomads and
semibarbarous inhabitants, 2,928,842 Cossacks,
1,220,169 hereditary nobles, 630,119 personal
nobles and officials, 588,947 priests and minis-
ters of all denominations. 342,927 hereditary
and personal citizens of honor, and 281,179
merchants.
Speaking the other night at Manchester,
Winston Churchill, who is 34 years old, said:
"In politics a man may be described as a
young man of promise until be is past the age

A Clergyman's Conversion
To see ourselves as others see us is an ex-
perience which may be as pleasant as it is
sometimes embarrassing. As in all other mat-
ters of the kind, much depends upon the point
of view, and more upon the personality and
disposition of the beholder. The Rev. Warren
H. Wilson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has for a year
past been a fraternal delegate to the Brook-
lyn Central Labor Union. Writing to Mr.
Charles Stelzle, secretary of the Presbyterian
Unions, headquarters Chicago, 111., Mr. Wil-
son gives his impressions of his fellow dele-
gates to the Central Labor Union as follows :
It opens the eyes to come into personal contact with
the leaders of labor. It robs one forever of the vision
of the labor leader pictured as a hulking bully, thick-
necked, hard-fisted, arrogant, an agitator preferring
a fight to a job. The membera of the Central Labor
Union of Brooklyn are not trouble-makers, neither
are they bullies. They are a cordially fraternal com-
pany of thinking men, among whom, aside from the
other considerations, it is for a thinking man an
honor to be numbered. From my first appointment
as a fraternal delegate to the Central Labor Union I
was met with intelligent and thoughtful cordiality.
The labor men welcomed the appointment, and one
after another, although it was a new departure, they
assented to it, until in a meeting of the Union it was
greeted with a surprisng unanimity and emphasis.
The meetings of the Union have been to me exper-
iences of surpassing interest. They open up a new
world to a Christian minister. The more is the pity
that it is a world from which Christian ministers
should be shut out. Here arc discussed matters of
vital interest to the poor of this Borough and those
of meagre means — the very people for whom the
Master had the most direct message — and with a fine-
ly intelligent grasp of principles, mutual forbearance
and sincere brotherliness. The word "brother," as
a term of address, lives here with the full force of
John Wesley 's days. So far as one can observe, the
Leaders of labor in Brooklyn are religiously trained
men, more than a majority of them members of
churches; They appreciate, too, an essential agree-
ment in the fundamentals underlying the faiths of the
various churches of this city (Brooklyn). And they
conceive that their Union, being a purely advisory
body, a forum of discussion of interests common to
those who toil with their hands, is an agency for the
carrying out of a religious purpose. That is, they
believe that the war on the sweatshop, the crusade
against child labor, and the agitation for a better
place for the laboring women, are interests which
are, or should be, high in the esteem of religious peo-
ple. They believe, too, that the increase of wages
will introduce into a multitude of homes in Brooklyn
the possibilities of religion and of righteousness. They
believe that the shortening of hours in trades like
that of the bakers, who to-day toil for eleven hours
or twelve in overheated quarters, who recently in
tunny cases had to sleep by the side of their ovens,
will tend to the restoration of these men to their
families, and will be the beginning of religious and
moral life for a multitude of persons. I am frank
tn say that in these things I agree with them.
This word-picture of a typical group of
American labor representatives is in sharp con-
trast with the cantankerous ebullitions on the
subject by the New York Times, in whose edi-
torial lexicon a representative of labor is in-
dexed as a "dead beat"- — all but one, and he
is dead. The contrast is still more apparent
when we turn to the chaste pages of that high-
ly moral publication, The Square Deal, where
the representatives of labor are invariably
pictured as plug-uglies armed with bludgeons
and pistols, and with countenances suggestive
of a cross between Bill Sykes and Sawney
Beans, the man-eater. The Rev. Warren H.
Wilson's unsolicited tribute to the entire re-
spectability and worth of character of his fel-
low-delegates to the Brooklyn Central Labor
Union is all the more significant from the fact
that he is a clergyman, for it is unfortunately
true that the average clergyman, both by tra-
dition and education, regards himself as a
morally and intellectually superior being, in-
stead of a merely ordained exponent of Christ-
ianity. As a rule he is long on "culture" and
proportionately short on that democracy which
is the keynote of the Gospel preached by the
Master Himself. It is this leaning toward the
essence of aristocracy on the part of the clergy
which more than anything else has caused the
present deplorable estrangement between work-
ingmen and the churches. It is a matter for
sincere rejoicing therefore that so many clergy-
men have lately evinced a decided disposition
to emulate the spirit of -democracy which
characterized the Founder of Christianity, and
which permeates all His teachings. Working-
men never had any quarrel with Christianity,
but they have good cause to harden their
hearts against its aristocratic exponents.
Organizer Vindicated.
Mention was made in this department of the
Journal a few weeks ago about organizer
Michael Heffernan of the Atlantic Coast
Marine Firemen having been arrested at New-
port News, Va., at the instance of the local
U. S. Shipping Commissioner on the allegation
that he had violated one of the Revised
Statutes in shipping a crew for a coastwise
vessel. The contention of the Shipping Com-
missioner, it will be remembered, was that as
Organizer Heffernan had no license to act as a
shipping agent he was legally debarred from
acting in that capacity. It will also be re-
membered that this contention by the Shipping
Commissioner was shown to be groundless in-
asmuch as the law on which the Commissioner
based his contention no longer applied to the
coastwise trade. On December 13, Comrade
Heffernan received a letter from Mi*. Riddle-
berger, his counsel, saying among other things :
We have this day had the criminal charges against
you dismissed in the United States Court. After
several consultations with the District Attorney he con-
sented not to ask the Grand Jury for an indictment in
your case, as we demonstrated to him that you had
violated no law in what you did. You are therefore
entirely exonerated of the charges against you, and
your bail has been refunded to your bondsman.
The incident is thus happily closed, and all
that remains to be said in regard to it is that
it now appears that the U. S. Shipping Com-
missioner of Newport News, in causing the ar-
hest of Comrade Heffernan, was actuated by no
altrurian motives begotten by an innate love
of justice, or a desire to protect seamen. The
arrest of Comrade Heffernan was the result of
his interfering with the business of the broth-
er of the Shipping Commissioner, said brother
being the only shipping master in Newport
News duly licensed by the municipality. This
phase of the matter proves the Shipping Com-
missioner to be an "honest grafter" as well
as an incompetent, and should be duly brought
to the attention of the authorities in Washing-
ton.
Japanese Colonization.
The Marine Firemen report shipping in
their line a good deal better than it was last
year at this time. According to Secretary Sul-
livan's report, the ports of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk are all
doing a very fair amount of shipping. Mo-
bile is doing famously, and New Orleans is
picking up right along and promising to excel
the other branches after awhile. The Nor-
folk branch has moved its offices and hall to
No. 18 Nebraska street, where there are much
larger quarters, and the new address of the
Mobile branch is No. 2 Government street.
In view of the efforts by various organiza-
tions throughout the country to have the pro-
visions of the Chinese Exclusion Act extended
so as to apply to Japanese and Korean coolies,
the following special despatch to the New York
Times is more than ordinarily interesting:
Washington, Dec. 14. — A large syndicate in Japan
has entered on the business of colonizing in Texas
and other Southern States Japanese families from
those parts of Japan where the tea and silk industries
lead. The agent of the syndicate, Mr. Akioki, was ;i
visitor at the Department of Agriculture to-day, seek-
ing a great variety of information in regard to the
climate and resources of the Lone Star State. He left
for Tokio to-night to conduct the first colony across
the Pacific to their new home in this country. There
will be 300 families in the party, and Mr. Akioki has
bought for them a solid tract of 10,000 acres in Bee
County. He showed the deeds to the officials at the
Department of Agriculture, and described the tract as
possessing all the natural advantages desired for tea
farming and silk raising. The mulberry tree grows
everywhere in the region to a great size. San Antonio
is the nearest town to the proposed colony, and the
expectation is that the new-comers will make good
citizens and intermarry and coalesce with their Texas
neighbors. Mr. Akioki says that if the first colony
is a success he will buy another tract on which he has
an option, and in this there are 100,000 acres, enough
to make homes for 3,000 families. There is a small
colony of Japanese now in Bee County. They have
devoted themselves to raising tea, and this year sold
their products with a good profit.
This little colonization scheme will undoubt-
edly meet with the approval of those large-
hearted political economists who are in the
habit of writing long communications to the
newspapers containing mathematical equations
to prove that the State of Texas is large
enough and fertile enough to support in com-
fort the entire population of the world. It
would be interesting, however, to know how
these gentlemen reconcile their conclusions
with the undeniable facts presented in connec-
tion with the admitted dangers of unrestricted
European immigration. If the problem of as-
similating the hordes of undesirable Euro-
peans which swarm to this country every year
has already assumed the proportions of a
national menace, why should we further add to
our difficulties in that line by throwing our
doors wide open to a race of people like the
Japanese who are naturally unassimilable with
Caucasians? If we once establish the prin
ciple, either by precedent or legislation, thai
Mongolian immigrants are as welcome to our
shores as Caucasians, the doom of Anglo-Saxon
civilization will have been sealed. The Jap-
anese, once they become domiciled here in
great numbers, will as a matter of economic
evolution swarm into our large cities and so
demoralize the labor market that there will
cither be a revolution or an exodus back to
Europe of our white laboring population. Is
that the fide OUT pro-Mongolian friends desire
for this country?

Lloyd 's agent at Nagasaki has cabled that the
British steamer Oceano, from Portland, Or., has gone
into dock and will undergo a survey to have an esti-
mate made of her damages.
The northern transpacific steamship lines have
decided to maintain the present rate of $4 per ton on
flour to the Orient instead of advancing it to $4.50 as
was intended. The decision is due to tramp steamers
offering for the business at the $4 rate.
The schooner Zampa, which was expected to bring
a cargo of codfish from Sanak, Alaska, returned to
San Francisco on December 22, in ballast, having been
unable, on account of terrific weather, to load a cargo,
though the men and stores taken to Sanak were landed
there.
San Pedro expects the first steamer from the Orient
in conjunction with the Salt Lake railroad to reach
that port in February. J. Flood, general manager of
the line, will return from New York in time to meet
the first steamer. C. J. Lehmann & Co. have been
made agents of the line.
A new steam-achooner, to be named Quinault, is

for the Hart-Wood Lumber Company of San Fran-
cisco. The Quinault will have a capacity of 700,000
feet of lumber, and is to have accommodations for a
score of passengers.
The contract for repairing the Pacific Coast Oil
Company's steamer Asuncion was awarded to the

Vice-President James of the Great Northern Steam-
ship Company, who returned recently from Japan and
China, made the announcement that he is considering

ese and Chinese ports.
Some days ago Senator Perkins of California, at
the request of the seamen 's organizations and pack-

to establish a relief hospital station on Bristol Bay,
Alaska. Surgeon-General Wyman ha3 written to Per-
kins advising that the state of the funds in the serv-
ice would not permit such action.
The American ship Acme, according to a telegram
received from Singapore, has been damaged to the ex-
tent of about $40,000. The Acme was before re-
ported as having met with serious injury in heavy
weather while bound from Baltimore to the Asiatic
coast. Some of the plates, frames and the stern
frame, as well as the rudder, were damaged.
The Department of the Treasury and the Bureau
of Commerce and Labor have refused to have a branch
customs and quarantine office established at Port
Harford, or to allow officials to go from San Fran-
cisco to give vessels leaving or entering that port their
clearance papers, as has been the custom. Hereafter
they will have to call at San Francisco for that pur-
pose.
The breaking of the shaft on the Port Orchard
steamer Athlon on December 22, on its run from Ta-
coma to Seattle resulted in the total destruction of the
engine, and had it not been for the work of the officers
the lives of seventy passengers might have been lost.
The engine was stopped in time to prevent it tearing
the boat to pieces. All the passengers and crew es-
caped injury. The Athlon was towed to port.
Eepresentative Hayes of California has presented
to the House the memorial of the Chamber of Com-
merce of San Francisco asking for appropriations for
the removal of the visible and submerged rocks in
Golden Gate, San Francisco, which are a menace to
navigation. It is pointed out that by the use of
newly discovered high-power explosives these rocks
may be removed at much less cost than was formerly
necessary.

Palmerston Island, Polynesia. All the members of the
crew were saved, but no particulars are at hand con-
cerning their subsequent welfare. The Thistle was
commanded by Captain E. England, and was well
known at San Francisco. She was built in 1891 at
Glasgow, and had a net tonnage of 2192.
Bids for installing an oil-burning plant on the Gov-
ernment tug General Mifflin were opened at San Fran-
cisco on December 20 by Colonel Patten, assistant
quartermaster-general. The lowest bid was made by
the Moore & Scott Iron Works, which offered to do
the work according to its own plans in twelve days,
and while the vessel was running, for the sum of
$1725. Other bids, on different plans, ranged as high
The steamer Bellerophon, the first of the fine new
steamers being built for Alfred Holt & Co. 's service
between Liverpool and Puget Sound, will reach the
coast some time in April. The other four vessels will
be named Tencer, Cyclops, Titan and Antilochus.
There is a rumor that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway Company has made a contract with Holt
& Co., whereby these new steamers will be operated
out of the Sound in conjunction with the Milwaukee
road.
Through the efforts of Admiral McCalla a bronze
tablet has just been placed on the residence of Chap-
Iain McAlistor, at the Mare Island Navy Yard, which
draws the attention of visitors to the house that was
the residence of Admiral Farragut, while he was com-
mandant of Mare Island. The inscription on the tab-
let reads as follows: "Th! . quarter.-! were occupied
by Admiral, Then Commandant, T). G. Farragut, First
Commandant U. S. Navy Yard, Mare Island, 1854-
1858."
The Behring Sea, Copper Island and British Colum-
bia coast catches of Victoria sealers sold in London re-
cently amounted to 13,200 skins, and were sold for
from $23 to $26, some lots goin^ as high ns $27. The
average price last year was $18. The catches of the
Cape Horn schooners were sold for $6 a skin, the aver
age pelt not being a good as the North Pacific skins.
The high prices realized were due to the increasing
scarcity of sealskins and the greatly increased de-
mand. The prices brought are the highest on record.
A Nanaimo fisherman had a unique experience with
a flock of seagulls recently. He reached Nanaimo in
an open boat containing two tons of herring. While
up town the seagulls took possession of the boat. On
his return all but sixty flew away. This number had
so gorged themselves with herring that they could not
fly, but hopped about in a state of helplessness. Tie-
fisherman finally climbed into the boat and lifted them
overboard. They were able to swim with an effort,
and most of them went ashore to recover from the
effects of their feast.
A pole reaching to the height of 210 feet and fitted
with aerial apparatus for the Mare Island wireless
station has just been erected on the Island. This great
height will offset inconveniences which have interfered
with the transmission of messages heretofore. The
stations at the Farralones, Tamalpais and Goat Island
can now be in touch with the yard, and it is hoped,
also, that ships at sea can be communicated with.
This pole is in three sections, and is said to be one of
the biggest in the history of aerial transmission.
Captain R. J. Dunham, of the steamer Roanoke, has
been presented by the marine underwriters with a
gold watch in recognition of his good work in saving
the steamer from serious damage during her recent
trip from Astoria. As will be remembered, the Roan-
oke was damaged and lost her rudder in attempting
to put into Eureka, and later, during a great gale,
was helpless in the sea off the California coast. But
Captain Dunham, allaying the fears of his three-score
passengers, rigged up a jury rudder and finally suc-
ceeded in making San Francisco.
A 16,000-mile cruise of a 91-foot yacht around
Cape Horn, from New York to San Diego, Cal., was
begun at New York on December 14. The little ves-
sel is the Anemone, owned by Charles L. Tutt, of San
Diego. A crew of ten men will sail her. the long
cruise being made for the purpose of delivering the
Anemone to Mr. Tutt, who recently purchased her.
The vessel will rely on her sails, but is also supplied
with auxiliary power. There are provisions aboard
for seven months, although it is expected to make the
voyage in four months.
One of the first motor boats built at San Francisco
was given a trial trip on December 21. This is the
Leif, constructed for the Alaska Packers' Association
for use on the bay, and built after the model of torpedo
boats. Furnished with a twenty-horse-power gasoline
engine of the Peters make, the Leif easily made a
speed of sixteen miles an hour, and showed her ability
to do even better when the machinery shall have been
better adjusted after a little wear. Frank Peters was
in charge of the boat, and made the run from the
Union Iron Works to the Ferry Building in fourteen
minutes. The Leif is 28 feet in length, with a beam
of 5V2 feet.
It is stated that the decision by the Court of Claims
in the ease of the American Packing Company and the
Russian Packing Company, both California corpora-
tions, versus the United States, was affirmed by the
Supreme Court of the United States. These cases in-
volve claims against the Government based on the fact
that the two companies had located salmon packing
plants on Afognak Island, Alaska, previous to the set-
ting aside of that island in 1892 for the purpose of
fish culture by the Government. The Russian com-
pany demanded $144,369 and the American company
$119,045. They based their contention on the fact
that the law of 1884, creating the civil government of
Alaska, provided for the protection of the rights of
persons occupying land at he time, but the court held
that these companies did not come within the scope
of that protection, and decided the case against them.
There is more Catarrh in this section of the country
than all other diseases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronouneed it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis-
ease and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. .1. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. Thi offer one hun-
dred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

The TelemobilosKop
United States Consul Bardel, of Bamberg,
Germany, reports the invention of the tele-
mobiloskop by a resident of Dusseldorf, an
apparatus which merits the attention of all
seafarers, and which is said to have gained
the special attention of German maritime
circles. Describing the telemobiloskop, Con-
sul Bardel writes:
The telemobiloskop is to enable the pilot of
a ship, in foggy weather, to discover the near-
ness of another vessel, even if the pilot of (he
other vessel neglects to give signals by which
he could make himself heard. The apparatus
works automatically, so that after it is once
adjusted nothing whatever lias to be done
until a ship is discovered by it, when, by an
unimportant manual action, the nearness of
the other ship can be disclosed. The inven-
tion is based on the principle that electric
waves, such as are used by wireless teleg-
raphy, are reflected the moment they strike
metallic objects in their course, while other-
wise they continue on their journey.
Railways of the "World.
According to the most recent German sta-
tistics, the length of the railroads of the world
was 537,105 miles on December 31, 1904, of
which 270,386 miles were in America, 187,-
776 in Europe, 46,592 miles in Asia, 15,649
miles in Africa, and 16,702 miles in Austral-
asia. Of the mileage of European railroads
Germany stands first (34,016), followed in
their order by Russia (33,286), France (28,-
266), Austria-Hungary (24,261), the United
Kingdom (22,592), Italy (10,025), Spain
(8,656), Sweden and Norway (7,730). Tho
average cost of construction of the European
railroads per mile is estimated at $107,577,
while for the remainder of the world the esti-
mate is only $59,680. The total value of the
railroads of the world according to these sta-
tistics is $43,000,000,000, of which the Euro-
pean roads figure for $22,000,000,000. The
estimate for rolling stock is as follows in num-
bers : Locomotives, 150,000 ; passenger coaches.
225,000, and freight cars, 3,000,000.
Insurance Against Idleness.
With reference to the beneficent effects of
the insurance association against non-employ-
ment of working people existing in the city of
Berne, the following interesting data are
furnished :
The association has at present 593 members,
of whom 25 are foreigners; 431 are married.
During the last winter 305 members reported
to be out of employment ; they received as day
money, in all, 11,069 francs. With few excep-
tions, these workingmen belonged to the build
ing trades. From 1893 to 1905, the association
received in insurance premiums 31,208.20
francs, the municipality contributed 111,200
francs, and in presents and contributions
from the employers 30,087.70 francs. The
amount paid to those out of work during that
period was 150,285.45 francs. The association
has a large room in which the members find
books and periodicals.
Some very small West Indian fish, locally
known a.s "millions," are thriving in the

the home of this species, and it is s'l'.'trested
that the immunity of thai island from the
malarial mosquito may be due to its presence.

SEAMEN'S WORK IN CONVENTION.
Tlic tenth annual convention of the Inter-
na) ional Seamen's Union of America has be-
eome a matter of history, and the delegates
to thai gathering have returned to their re-
spective localities, there to aid in working out
the plans designed in the council hall. The
value of the convention's work remains to be
tested by practical experience. Only one
thing ia certain, namely, that every act of the
seamen's representatives was dictated by an
honest and earnest desire to further the in-
terests of the craft. In point of ability to
deal with the important questions confront-
ing them, the delegates to the Cleveland con-
vention averaged well in comparison with
those of previous gatherings. All tilings con-
si. I. red. there is every reason for confidence
in the outlook of the coming year. With
whole-souled co-operation on the part of the
membership at large, the assurance of suc-
cess is made doubly sure.
The synopsis of the convention proceedings,
published in the two preceding issues of the
Journal, gives a fairly comprehensive review
of the various measures proposed and
adopted. As usual, the proceedings will be
issued in full from the office of the Secretary-
Treasurer, thus affording every member an
opportunity to study the work of the conven-
tion in detail. In the meantime, a brief re-
view of the convention's work is warranted
by the publication already made in these
columns.
The most important work of the convention
consisted in devising plans for further organ-
ization among the members of the craft in
certain localities. A wide diversity of opin-
ion existed among the delegates on this score,
but the plan ultimately adopted received gen-
eral assent and promises greater success than
has attended previous efforts in the same di-
rection. The main feature of the new plan
consists in the establishment of the office of
General Organizer, an official Avhose duty it
shall be to direct and supervise the work of
the local organizers, thus insuring that con-
centrated and systematic method which has
heretofore been lacking. Comrade Fred Ben-
son, of the Lake Seamen's Union, to whom
the duties of General Organizer have been in-
trusted, is a man of established reputation in
his locality, and he will doubtless render a
good account of his work in the new office.
The system of Referendum and A<
ment, as provided by the Constitution, con-
cerning which some criticism has been in-
dulged on the score of obscurity in Language,
was revised and adopted in practically the
form submitted by the delegates from the
Sailors' Union of the Pacific. These impor-
tant features of the International Constitu-
tion are now in good working shape and
should prove easily available in case of need.
The report on the "National Seamen's
Home," which had been in course of prep-
aration during the preceding year, was
adopted by the convention, and the .proposal
to raise funds for the establishment of that
institution was referred back to the general
membership for their vote. It therefore re-
mains with the latter to determine the only
remaining question in this connection, name-
ly, whether or not they are willing to "put
up" for the realization of their desires.
The delegates from the Internationa] Sea-
men's Union to the Pittsburg convention of
the American Federation of Labor reported
the action of the latter body in the dispute
between the Seamen and Longshoremen and
recommended that the proposal for arbitra-
tion be concurred in. This recommendation
was adopted, and Delegates Macarthur and
Furuseth were elected to represent the Sea-
men in the pending negotiations. This ac-
tion was later communicated to President
Gompers, of the American Federation of
Labor, in whose hands the matter rests at
present. The convention, while satisfied with
the action of the Federation in declaring
against the so-called "long name," earpi
the hope that the representatives of Seamen
and Longshoremen will meet in the near fu-
ture for the purpose of formally declaring
terms of peace between the two organizations.
Much time was devoted to the discussion of
Legislative matters. In addition to action
upon various features of the conditions pre-
vailing on board ship, it was decided to con-
tinue the effort to secure the passage of the
Seamen's bill, which has been before Con-
gress during several sessions. For this pur-
pose Comrade Andrew Furuseth was directed
to proceed to Washington, D. C, to keep
watch on the legislative interests of the sea-
men. Comrade Furuseth is now at the Na-
tional capital, where he will remain for sere
eral weeks at least.
The Executive Board was enlarged by the
addition of two vice-presidents, thus securing
a wider representation of the various branches
of the craft. As now composed, the Execu-
tive Board will doubtless prove competent to
deal effectively with conditions as they arise
in the respective Districts.
These and other features of the conven-
tion's work will be discussed more fully in
these columns from time to time. Sufficient
has already been published to warrant a pre-
diction of success for the plans made by the
Cleveland convention. To this end we be-
speak the loyal and energetic support of
every member of the International Seamen's
Union of America, not as members of this or
that local or District, but as members of the
International Union, sharing in common the
primary hope of advancement for the great
seafaring craft.
IS HAWAII BECOMING JAPANIZED?
Demand the union label on all products!
The Honolulu Independent, under date of
October 17, publishes the following interest-
ing article on the Japanese problem in the
Hawaiian Islands:
In a letter to the New York Independent Secretary
Atkinson dedans that there is no danger of Hawaii
becoming Japanized, I'm- the reason that the Japanese
are and will remain loyal to their own country. In
the course of argument he says:
"The Japanese, however, do not 1 ome expatri-
ated. They will not want American citizenship. They
do not want it now. In the I 1 election here
the Japanese who voted can be counted on the fingers
of one hand, though there are undoubtedly several
hundred who could qualify. The Chinese far more
readily accept American citizenship, or rattier, reach
after it when able, and we have about two hundri
them as voters. The Chinese desire for citizenship,
however, is usually not founded on devotion to Ameri-
canism. It is merely a matter of avoiding the difficul-
ties and inconveniences of the Exclusion Act, for a
Chinese who is an American eitizen may travel to and
from the country as he wills. The Japanese want our
education, our business and mechanical knowledge and
our money, but, far more than the Chinese, they want
to keep their own nationality. This is why they will
never dominate an election in Hawaii and one reason
why I say that the Hawaiian Islands will never be
Japanized. "
So that is it. The Japanese are willing to accept the
protection of the United States and benefits of a resi-
dence in Hawaii, but are too "patriotic" to assume
the responsibilities of citizenship, even if eligible to
become citizens! That is worse than ever. If Secre-
tary Atkinson is right in Ins assumptions, the sooner
a stop is put to Japanese immigration the better.
Hawaii has suffered enough already from people who
come here merely for what they can make out of the
country. We want settlers having a better purpose in
view.
It would be an injustice to the Japs to as-
sume that they would for any length of time
allow themselves to be dominated by a minor-
ity of the population. Recent events in the
world's history have clearly demonstrated
that the Japs are not as docile as their yellow
cousins, the Chinese. The Japanese may not
dominate an election in Hawaii for some time
to come, but they will certainly very soon
dominate everything else in the Islands unless
immediate steps are taken to prevent their
ever-growing increase through immigration.
Half a century ago William H. Sew-
ard said in the United States Senate
that "the Pacific Ocean, with its shores,
its islands and the vast regions be-
yond, will become the chief theatre of events
in the world's great hereafter." The
play in the theatre referred to has just com-
menced; we are still in the first act. The
Hawaiian Islands occupy the center of the stage
and it will require the best of acting, or rather
statesmanship, to solve the racial problem al-
ready existing in those islands. If, however.
the little brown men in Hawaii are permitted
to add to their numbers not only by propa-
gation, but also, and largely so, through a
constant influx of immigrants from their
motherland, Hawaii, well named the Paradise
of the Pacific, will become a Japanese colony,
and though the American flag may proclaim
it American territory, it will not retain Amer-
ican ideals or institutions.
For once the Journal is disposed to be in
the fashion of the day. Therefore it hereby
resolves that its pages shall he cleaner,
brighter and stronger during the coming year
than ever before.
The Journal extends the compliments of
the season to its readers, one and all, ami
wishes them many happy returns of the day.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Australian Labor Press.
The history of the New South Wales Labor
Press is practically identical with that of
Queensland. The same type of men; the same
ideas; the same aspirations dominated the ori-
gin of both. Were it not for the bushwork-
ers, the mineworkers, and those associated in
like industries, the New South Wales Labor
Press had never been. As it is, its progress,
commensurate with the larger population it
is enabled to draw upon, has been less promi-
nent than that of Queensland. However, it
can boast of two weeklies — "The Worker"
and "The Barrier Truth" — which compare
favorably with any of their kind published
in the United States.
"The Worker" is virtually owned by the
A. W. U. (Australian Workers' Union) a
shearers' organization of considerable import-
ance. "The Barrier Truth" may also be said
to owe its existence to the subsidized suuport
it receives from the miners of Broken Hill.
Broken Hill, it may parenthetically be added,
is the largest silver-mining district in Aus-
tralia—probably in the world.
As an instance of the "Worker's" growth,
only recently it removed from somewhat for-
bidding quarters in Kent St., Sydney, to a
better and more enticing environment, and
into its own premises. Here it has installed
an up-to-date plant, which appears to be a
credit to its proprietors — the A. W. U. — and
to all associated in the production of the pa-
per. A captious critic, might, however, sug-
gest improvement in the literary output. To
me, it seems to devote too much space to un-
interesting political occurrences, which are of
no vital importance to anybody but the petty,
self-opinionated person, who thinks the coun-
try would go to the dogs if his name and his
inanities were omitted. Again, its para-
graphic items are far from brilliant. They
suggest forcibly a strong application of scis-
sors and paste. Anyhow, they unquestion-
ably lack originality — a fault almost univer-
sal among Australian, as well as other La-
bor newspapers.
When I left Australia some seven months
ago, the editor of "The Worker" was an
Irish-Australian, named E. J. Brady. Brady
is a poet of local reputation. He has written
considerable verse anent the men who go
down to the sea in ships. And some of that
verse is unquestionably good. As a prose-
writer, however, he strikes me as being from
fair to mediocre.
A really estimable and enthusiastic friend
of mine has been editing New South Wales'
other Labor weekly — "The Barrier Truth"
— for the past two or three years. R. S. Ross
(Bob Ross as he is best known) is one of those
people who now and again advocate the cause
of the masses — an enthusiastic and sincere
man. During the time he has occupied "Bar-
rier Truth's" editorial chair, the paper has
grown; and it, too, has shifted into a brand-
new building of its own. "Truth" has a cir-
culation of about 5,000 per week — I am un-
certain of the "Worker's" weekly output —
and 5,000 per week is a respectable number
for an outback Australian town, such as Brok-
en Hill. In course of time Mr. Ross antici-
pates turning his little weekly into a daily.
That proposition is a large one at present.
Yet it has within its bounds practicability.
From Broken Hill (N. S. W.) to Adelaide
(S. A.) is a comparatively brief railroad
journey. Adelaide is the capital and largest
city in the State of South Australia — a terri-
tory approximately as big as three Californias.
Its population, however, is very sparse — the
whole State containing less than 400,000 in-
habitants. To this State one Labor weekly —
"The Herald" — caters. For many years it
has maintained its position. In typographi-
cal get-up it is a creditable production; in
literary, it is rather heavy and far from bril-
liant. Like ali Australian Labor papers it
devotes too much space to politics and too
little to industrial affairs. However, it com-
pares favorably with papers of its class, and
as South Australia's only Labor weekly is in
little danger of a rival.
The West — as we Australians term the State
of Westralia — at a very recent period ran two
Labor weeklies — one of which is published at
Kalgoorlie, and the other was published at
Perth. The former — ' ' Westralian Worker ' ' —
has been in existence for some considerable
time. It is a subsidized sheet, very poor both
in typographical and literary get-up. The
mere fact that it is subsidized largely ac-
counts for its continued existence in its pres-
ent shape. It is a credit to nobody — least of
all to the men who run it.
New Zealand can scarcely be said to possess
a Labor press. That favored land, we may
add, hardly needs such. However, there is
a small weekly in Dunedin — "The Otago Lib-
eral ' ' — which in a sort of way can come under
the heading of a Labor paper. Its influence
is purely local; its character rather that of a
suburban, or small country sheet, which ekes
out an existence by the aid of the proprietor,
the "devil" and the office cat.
Tasmania, the "Flyspeck" State of the Aus-
tralias, rejoices in, or laments over, one La-
bor weekly — "The Clipper." Judging it by
its name, the budding Mark Twain may read
into "The Clipper" any meaning he pleases.
Probably he would rashly jump to the con-
clusion that its editorial genius was addicted
to plenty of scissors and paste. However, he
would be a little surprised to know that now
and again our friend "The Clipper" belies
its name, and does print an original item or
two. Altogether, though, it seems to suit the
drowsy inhabitants of the Flyspeck — at least
that particular section which can be found
more than ordinarily desirous of reading a
Labor Weekly.
This sketch of the Australian Labor Press
is necessarily scant. But scant though it may
be, it will give an idea of the part played by
workingmen papers in the Antipodes. Wheth-
er their influence will wane as time goes on
is yet to be determined. The fact, however,
is that at present they exercise no immaterial
sway on the legislation of the Australian
Commonwealth, and incidentally on the Aus-
tralian people.

Arrangements have been perfected for the
building by a Clyde (Scotland) company, of
two large and powerful steamers to conduct
mail service between Ardrossan and Belfast.
The steamers will be delivered early in 1906
and will replace those now in service. They
are to be larger than the present steamers and
will be equipped with all modern improve-
ments for the accommodation of travel. The
old vessels are to be remodeled and trans-
ferred to the Glasgow service.
In England, where fads and fashions
change slowly and the roads are good, bicycle
manufacturers are still doing a good business.

Our Life Savers.
It is probable that the full extent of the
heroism and suffering of the crews of the ves-
sels lost during the November gale on Lake
Superior will never be made public. The man
who is really brave and who really suffers sel
dom confides his thoughts to the world. The
terrible death of nine of the members of the
ill-fated Mataafa crew, the fearful suffering
of the survivors, have to be endured to be real-
ized. II is not my purpose to censure the Life
Saving crews of Duluth Station, yel here was
a vessel broadside on to the beach, forming a
breakwater for the protection of a boat put-
ting out from shore and the crew of that ves-
sel slowly freezing to death, holding out their
hands to the people in plain view on shore,
and the life saving crew standing on the beach
saying that they could do nothing, not even
make an attempt. On officer of the Mataafa
informs me that the Life Saving crew could
have reached them if they had not been afraid
to try. The La Fayette's and Manila's crews
suffered untold privation, but were fortunately
thrown ashore so near the bluffs that with our
exception, Patrick Wade, they were saved ; but
they saved themselves. After untold tortures
from icy waters and frozen limbs, starvation
and privation they are safe in harbor. In
direct comparison with the conduct of the men
of the Duluth Life Saving Station, whom our
Government pays to risk their lives in the at-
tempt to save, is the conduct of the brave fish-
ermen who took the crews off the steamer Geo.
Spencer, and barge Amboy, ashore, forty
miles north of Two Harbors, at Thomasville,
a little fishing village. The following taken
from the Duluth News Tribune, will give some
idea of the brave act :
Not a man of us would have escaped, said Captain
Frank Conlin of the George Spencer, but for the
bravery and ability of the fishermen at Thomasville,
aided by some of the lumbermen from a nearby
logging camp.
When the day broke we realized that our position
was desperate in the extreme, as the wreck was -
idly going to pieces and we were more than 200 yards
m the shore. The suffering of the crew during the
had been terrible.
We at once fastened a rope to the plank, hoping
that it would drift ashore. In the fury of the storm
we could dimly see some figures on the beach watch-
ing. Som i understanding what we
would naturally try to do, fastened lines around their
bodies and waded breast deep in the surf to find the
plank or the line while their comrades held the rope
and drew them back when they lost their feet in the
waves.
Finally they found the line and carried it ashore.
A block and tackle was secured and fastened to a
tree. The same thing was done on the wreck and we
had a double line to shore. We fastened a seat to the
lower line and on this the fifteen men from the Spencer
were carried safely to land.
The same thing was done by Captain Watson and
the seven men on the Amboy were likewise saved.
Capt. Fred Watson, of Buffalo, commander of the
Amboy, said that the bravery of the fishermen and the
intelligence shown in knowing what to do under the
circumstances could not be too highly applauded.
Our boat was a total wreck, he said, and we
weTe in great danger of being washed overboard at
any moment. The surf was Tunning high, and the coast
there is rough and had we struck 200 yards on either
side nothing could have saved us from being dashed
to pieces almost instantly.
The fishermen rushed into the surf almost te> their
necks to secure the line we floated in and had it not
for them we would have been utterly helpless.
After tremendous difficulty and repeated failures they
found the line and fastened her on shore. Through
the blinding surf we worked our way along and not a
man was !

Six Hours at the Wheel.
It has evidently not occurred to the majority
of the Lake sailors that the custom of puf1in<jr
in six hours at the helm is not practiced on any
other waters. Of course it is acquiesced to by
the masses of men sailing the Lakes but that
dues not change its inconsistency with things
appropriate. Chattel slavery, before its aboli-
tion, was also countenanced by the people, and
protected by law, but it was. nevertheless,
barbarous and degrading from to-day's point
of view. The fact that old customs become the
rule and habits of long standing, a second na-
ture, ought not to close all avenues to re-
form, nor prevent sound reasoning from scru-
tinizing its character. We are informed by
the Masters and Pilots, who represent the Lake
Carriers, that to steer a boat on the Lakes re-
quires a man skilled in thai particular work,
and who should do nothing else while run-
ning, for he might forget how to -
but any one with sound reason knows that
such an assertion is nothing more than
a lame excuse, intended to blind the eyes
of the men in order to perpetuate the old cus-
tom. As the aforesaid fashion is one of the
sinister evils in the maritime conditions on the
inland seas it should be obvious that the time
has arrived when such an anomaly be abrogat-
ed. There is nothing which necessitates that
the members of the Lake Seamen's Union
should stand and wear out their eyes, and
otherwise impair their health, for no other ob-
ject than to uphold the modes of a silly idea.
It is the duty of all to advocate that measures
be taken without delay, to have this evil once
and for all abolished. The social and industri-
al status in the world to-day is what people
ha vi' made it; so, also, in the evolution of
organized labor, unity of action is all that is
required and any reasonable undertaking must
eventually succeed.

Marine Notes.
W. If. Becker, who recently contracted with
the American Shipbuilding Company for a
new modern freighter, announced that the boat
will be named after William G. Pollock, who
is Secretary and Treasurer of the Pittsburg
and Lake Angeline Iron Company. Mr. Pol-
lock is prominent in the iron trade and resides
in Pittsburg.
The car ferry which is being built for the
Canadian Pacific Railway, by the Great Lakes
Engineering Works, of Detroit, Mich., to be
used for carrying coal to Port Burwell, on
Lake Erie, will cost about $375,000. The ferry
is to be 350 feet over all and will carry thirty
cars of fifty tons capacity, together with 200
tons of fuel coal.
Receipts of lumber at the Tonawandas by
vessels during last month amounted to a trifle
over 51,000,000 feet, 13,000,000 feet less than
was received during the corresponding period
of last season. Since the opening of naviga-
tion a total of 440,000,000 feet of lumber have
been received at the Tonawandas by vessel, as
againsrl a total of 402,000,000 feet for the cor-
responding period of last season. This is a
gain of 38,000,000 fed in favor of the currenl
season.
New Lahe Freighters.
The two 600-fool steamers for the Pittsburg
Steamship Co., contracts Eor which wen- -
with the American Shipbuilding Co. at Duluth.
recently, will be built at South Chicago ami
they will come out An?. 15 and Sept. 15.
Keels for the new steamers will be laid as soon
as the first two vessels of that class that were
ordered by the Pittsburg Steamship Co. some
time ago, are launched.
The new boats will have more power than
any of the steamers that have been built dur-
ing the past few years. The triple expansion
engines will have cylinders 25, :i!> ami 65 inch-
es with 42 inch stroke. The high pressure cyl-
inder of the engines of the Big Four steamers
and the first of the 600-foot class is 24 inches
and some of the 10,000-ton steamers ha
power.
The new trust boats will have Scotch boilers
15 feet 5 inches in diameter and 11 1-2 feet
long, to be allowed 170 pounds pressure. The
boilers will be fitted with the Ellis & Eaves
draft.
Six of the twenty-nine freight steamers that
the American Shipbuilding Co. closed con-
tracts for this year are 600-footers, and they
will carry 12.000 tons. Four of the \
of that class are for the Pittsburg Steamship
Co. and two were ordered by the Cambria
Co. Two of the steel trusl boats will be ready
at the opening of navigation, 1906, but the
other four will not come out until next sum-
mer. It has not been decided when the boats
for the Cambria Steel Co. will be built.
An idea of the great wave motion at the
mouth of Duluth harbor during the big gale
which wrecked the Mataafa and Ellwood at
that point was gained by measurements taken
by the United States engineer. He found that
on the day of the storm the water at the en-
trance to Duluth ship canal was 25 feet deep.
When the Ellwood entered port that day she
was drawing but eighteen feet. Despite this
shallow draft the steamer struck both forward
and aft when tossed by the waves as she was
entering, showing a drop of seven feet.
The Midland Navigation Company has
closed a contract with the Collingwood Ship-
building Company for the construction of the
largest Canadian vessel on the Great Lakes.
The vessel will be 450 feet long and 55 feet
with a capacity of over 300,000 bushels
of grain, and is to be completed in time for
next year's grain business, early in October.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Seamen Demand Protection.
President Roosevelt, in a speech delivered
recently at Atlanta, Ga., said :
It is our clear duty, in the interest of our own
wage-workers to forbid all Chinese of the coolie class
— that is, laborers, skilled or unskilled — from coming
here. The greatest of all duties is national self-pre-
servation, and the most important step in national self-
preservation is to preserve in every way the well-
being of the wage-worker.
I am convinced that the well-being of our wage-
workers demands the exclusion of the Chinese coolie,
and it is therefore our duty to exclude them.
Nothing could be plainer or more satisfac-
tory than the language of the President, if we
could bring ourself to believe that it means
anything to the American seaman. "We do not
forget that when last December the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor was informed of the
employment of Chinese on Government vessels
in violation of the law, he replied that the At-
torney-General had ruled that the Chinese ex-
clusion laws and alien contract labor laws did
not apply to seamen. Where, then, is the
boasted protection to American labor? or, per-
haps the seaman is not a laborer, skilled or
unskilled, but is a bloated millionaire.
"We have read so much of late years relative
to the building up of our merchant marine
by aid of subsidies and otherwise mainly, as is
contended, that the merchant fleet shall act as
a nursery for the men to man our warships,
that we are almost ready to believe that Con-
gress and the powers at "Washington are in
earnest; but — we are confronted with the fact
that here on the Pacific Coast every steamer
in the Oriental trade is manned with Chinese
seamen. The Pacific Mail steamers "China,"
"Siberia," "Korea," "Mongolia" and "Man-
churia"; the Great Northern liners "Minne-
sota" and "Dakota," all carry a full crew of
Chinese on deck, in fireroom and stewards ' de-
partment, and all of them ship their crews in
the Orient, consequently there are no avail-
able records from which we can ascertain the
number so employed, but comparing them
vith the large vessels of the Spreckels' line,
we may safely estimate the number of Chinese
seamen on American vessels in the trans-
Pacific trade at 3500.
From the report of the Commissioner of
Navigation for 1904, we ascertain that there
were 400 Mongolians employed on American
sailing vessels. On the Pacific Coast there are
about 400 sailing vessels, twenty-five per cent.
of which carry Japs in the stewards' depart-
ment. Notwithstanding the yeoman service
done by the sailors in aiding their less fortu-
nate comrades in the stewards' department,
the "old man" usually finds some method of
circumventing their efforts to get rid of the
Jap.
The sole reason for the employment of these
Asiatics is their cheapness, accompanied with
their subserviency and obsequiousness, and yet
these companies have the consummate gall to
demand that the American people shall help
them to run their vessels.
To-day, owing to the lack of the fostering
care with which other nations regard their
seamen, our Navy is thousands of men short
of a complement sufficient to man the vessels
already afloat. What in God's name are they
going to do for men when the vessels under
construction are ready for commission 1 We
recollect the time when Uncle Sam had a fleet
manned with 50,000 "Seamen," and not a
Mongolian among them! Our population has
nearly doubled since then, but I doubt very
much if that number of "Seamen" could be
procured at the present time and under exist-
ing conditions.
Extend, Mr. President, the same measure of
protection to the American "seaman" that
you advocate for his fellow-workmen on land,
and when your "big stick" needs to be used
you will have the men to wield it.

Heligoland Disappearing'.
Recent news from Heligoland, according to
the London Standard, speaks of further en-
croachments by the sea on Heligoland, in the
North Sea. Since the island was ceded to
Germany, in 1890, in exchange for Zanzibar,
it has lost a considerable area, not alone
through the collapse of the sandy cliffs which
surround its shores, but also through a defin-
ite sinking on its south side. Engineers have
been at work since the cession in a continuous
endeavor to safeguard the island from dem-
olition, and considerable work has been per-
formed in filling crevices in the rocks, while
breakwaters have been built to break the.
force of the sea. It has been found, however,
that the very sea floor on which these are con-
structed is without stability, and it is believed
that the work can only serve to delay the en-
croachment of the sea on the friable cliffs.
It has now a circumference of a little less
than three miles, as against three and three-
fourths in 1890. The island has little import-
ance and is known chiefly as a watering place.
Its population numbers about 2,000, and the
natives of Heligoland are creditably known
among the North Sea and Baltic pilots.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
Secretary Metcalf's views on Chinese Ex-
clusion are precisely those of every American
citizen whose regard for the future of his
country is not measured by the standard of
dollars and cuts. Profitable trade relations
with China are, of course, highly desirable,
but. not important enough to offset the evils
which would befall this country from any
further modifications of the Chinese Exclu-
sion Act in the direction of making it easier
for Chinese coolies to enter the country.
That strenuous attempts will be made by in-
terested parties to induce Congress to assent
to such modifications is a foregone conclu-
sion from the attitudes of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft on the subject. Indeed,
the President's language in bis message fore-
shadows pro-Mongolian concessions by Con-
gress, seeing that the Administration has an
overwhelming working majority in that body.
It all goes to show how little of a representa-
tive government ours is, when the interests of
the wage-earners of the country are always
the last to be considered by their representa-
tives. Looking at the attitude of our Chief
Executive on the Chinese Exclusion question,
and his undisguised attempts to arrogate to
himself powers which will make him a verit-
able Caesar, one can not help but think that
the democracy bequeathed to us by the
rounders of this Republic will pretty soon
have to Bghl for its life. Democracy and
coolie labor will not mix. and no greater dan-
ger could happen to our social and political
institutions than would follow a relaxation of
our present Chinese Exclusion policy.
Captain Van Horn, of the bark Frances S.
Hampshire, is one of the most notorious
buckoe on the Atlantic Coast. As master of
the schooner Eagle Wing and other vessels,
he is known and hated by sailors from the
Penobscot to the Rio Grande for his ungov-
ernable temper and tyrannical disposition.
The only thing that has kept him in check
some has been his fear of the Sailors' Union,
for on two or three occasions when he com-
mitted mayhem assaults on seamen, the Sail-
ors' Union was instrumental in having him
punished in the courts. Recently he shipped
a crew of greenhorn scabs in New York to
proceed in the bark Frances S. Hampshire to
Sabine Pass, Tex., for lumber. On the pas-
down he treated them so brutally that on
their arrival in Sabine Pass every member of
the crew ran away, leaving their money be-
hind. When he was ready to leave for New
York he shipped a new crew, paying them $60
for the run up. Coming up the coast he
again began his bucko tactics, and was espe-
cially cruel to a young, green lad, assaulting
him brutally several times. After arriving in
New York, Captain Van Horn even tried to
cheat the young fellow out of his wages, but
through the efforts of the Sailors' Union, he
sompelled to settle on time. At a re-
cent meeting of the New York branch
of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union the
agent was instructed to engage counsel to
prosecute Captain Van Horn for assaulting
members of his crew on the passage from Sa-
bine Pass to New York.
Those Panama judges with their common
law wives are presumably in favor of easy
divorces and no alimony.

the man whose money and newspaper-manu-
factured fame harmonize with the snob vote.
This is the age of "smartness," and may the
devil fly away with old-fashioned goodness.
"Why, the average man of to-day is prouder of
nothing more than the fact that he is always
keeping abreast of the devil— and is sometimes
a day ahead of him.
One out and out sinner is worth a score
of hypocrites. The hypocrisy of the world
cloaks more vileness than all its outcast sin-
ners wrere ever guilty of since the world first
threw its front door open to vice and kicked
virtue out in the backyard.
So long as men are animated by souls more
responsive to the calls of self interest and
sentiment than to the calls of justice and rea-
son, so long will there be strikes and lockouts,
wars and rumors of war, and a civilization
fundamentally based upon force.
The cutting off of the pay of the crew of the
Nantucket Shoals Lightship from the day he
foundered, and giving them "waiting orders"
is another of those little straws that show that
those who have no pull with the Government
need not expect to have the law stretched in
their favor. Moral: Get a "pull" and you
won't get left.

Fraternal Delegate Mosses' Address to A. F. of L.
IT is with extreme difficulty that I realize that I am
in a foreign country as a foreigner. Since our so-
journ with you we have been the recipients of so
much kindness, courtesy and hospitality thai we feel
as though we were in the house of our friends. The
fact that we owe allegiance to the Union .lack, and
that our hosts owe allegiance to the Stars and Stripes,
is discounted by the knowledge that, so far as our
aims, our objects and our principles are concerned, we
are in absolute accord, although our methods and pro-
cedure may vary to some slight extent. Since coining
to this country we have been living the strenuous life,
and we have been doing our very best to acquire as
much knowledge of American affairs as possible.
Whether by acident or design, I do not. know, but for
the greater part of our sojourn here we have been un-
der the beneficent tutelage of the brightest star in the
American firmament. It is needless to say that 1 re-
fer to our friend, Thomas I. Kidd. Under his tutelage
we have formed an acquaintanceship with American
institutions of a sort I did not think could be acquired
by any two men in the short space of time we have
been associated with that gentleman. We have also
had the privilege of visiting in New York and Wash-
ington some of your noblest institutions and monu-
ments, and have had the distinguished honor of being
received in special conference by the esteemed Presi-
dent of your Republic. Not the least interesting of
our investigations has been our penetration of the
slums of New York. We have also glanced at your
slumdom in Washington, and I personally have as-
cended Mount Washington here for the express [impose
of studying those smoke effects in Pittsburg for which
you, Mr. President, were so devoutly thankful a few
yens ago.
The problems which confront you are similar to the
problems which confront organized labor in every
part of the civilized globe. You have, however, one
problem, which we, in Britain, are almost wholly ex-
empt from. 1 refer to the racial problem. During
my sojourn in America I have seen more types of
racial characteristics than I have ever seen in my life
before. It seems that the whole world, from (Inn;, to
Peru and from the Arctic to the Antarctic has poured
its surplus population into this country. They all go
into Nature's crucible, from which in a generation or
two they come out as I hat most marvelous product of
the century — the American workingman.
Some problems you have to contend with, however,
are common to every industrial nation. The great
problem you have to Contend with, and that we have
to contend with, is the problem of poverty, induced
by unemployed and by the unequal distribution of the
products of labor. This inequitable distribution of the
fruit of the toilers has been a fruitful source of con
tention since we have been an industrial nation. I
often think the distribution of wealth is Vi rj much en
a par with our campaign in tin' Netherlands. I dan'
Bay every one in this building is sufficiently conversant
With industrial history to know that in the reign of
good Queen Anne— win. is now defunct, Mr. Chairman
—we undertook a series of campaigns in the l„u c I
tries of Europe. I am not quite sure what tl bjeel
of those campaigns was, bul I do knovi they wer n
ducted under the celebrated Duke of Marlborough
that lie was uniformly successful ami secured a huge
accumulation of loot. What he did not keep for him-
self he divided among his army. Their manner of di-
viding was to get a gun carriage wheel and put the
whole of the loot through that wheel. What stuck to
the spokes was divided among the soldiers; what went
through to the ground was divided among the officers.
I have always believed that was the true reason why
our army swore so dreadfully in Flanders. I think
that is the way in which the fruits of the toiler are di-
vided at the present time.
You have also the problem create, I by the unfair and
unnecessary competition of women and children with
the men workers. On all hands we see in Europe and
America large numbers of men who are thrown out of
work because their wives, their sisters and their daugh-
ters are taking the places in the workshop that should
rightfully belong to men. I take it it is the function
of the American Federation of Labor, as it is the
function of the British Trade-Union Congress, to try
and so adjust the social balance that men can work
without the competition of their wives and sisters. 1
take it it is the function of both to relegate to their
proper spheres, the home, the school and the play-
ground, the women and the children, and eventually to
secure the greatest good to the greatest number.
I tunc already said we cannot adopt the same
methods ami policy on this side of the water as we do
on the other side. We recognize that you must work
out your own industrial salvation, in your own way.
Neither my friend, Mr. Gilmour, nor myself, are here
to offer advice or to criticise. We are here to tell you
something of what we are doing in Great Britain, ami
if you can transplant any of our methods and policy
to your shores, then we will feel we have not nunc over
here in vain. On the other hand, we will bo close and
diligent students during this convention of your
methods and policy, and it would be strange, indeed,
if we do not take home something which will be of in-
estimable value to our work on tin' el her side of the
Herring Pond.
In speaking of the trade-union movement of Great
Britain, 1 do not intend to take you back to medieval
times, to the time of the domestic work shop, where
the apprentice lived with Ins master and sold in the
afternoon the goods he manufactured in the morning,
and who, nlxii he had fulfilled the orthodox routine,
Succeeded his master in business, and having married
his master's daughter, ultimately became Lord Mayor
of London. .Neither shall I take you back to the early

able to present a i bicb reads like a romance.
I may say we are m the happy position in Britain
of being able to give up-to-date ami at infor
mation with regard to the industrial movemenl in that
country. There is a Labor Department in connection
with our Board of Trade, whose sole object it is to
collect statistics and to issue them to all whom it
may concern. We have also a system of registration
in Britain which most of our societies have taken ad-
vantage of. The statistics are all carefully compiled,
and the result is issued through the Labor Department
of the Board of Trade. At the end of 1903, the latest
date for which statistics are available, there were in
Great Britain 1,666 trade-unions, representing I.
902,308 members, a decrease of 55 unions and an in-
crease of half a million members during the last ten
years. T regard this decrease in the number of trade-
unions as one of the most encouraging signs of the
times. I believe that one of the greatest curses with
which modern trade-unions have to contend is
the undue and unnecessary multiplication of trade
unions. I know of one trade .in my country, a trade
which represents a minor and a collateral industry,
which has no fewer than 19 separate and distinct trade-
unions connected with thai industry. Each one of
these unions has its own general secretary, its own gen-
eral officers, its own staff, ami is a separate and dis-
tinct organization. You might think that in the gen-
eral interests these unions would combine for one com-
mon object, but unfortunately they do nothing of tin'
kind, and they spend their energies, their money and
their time fighting the one with the other, instead of
combining for the common good. As an official of
twenty-two years' experience, 1 say there is no separ
ate trade in our country, however gnat and important
it may be, which is capable of sustaining more than
one 'single trade-union. My ideal of industrial com-
bination is that every trade should have its own trade-
union; that for general purposes, such as over-time re
strictions and hours, every contemporary trade should
be affiliated together in a federation, and thai lor po
litical and legislative purposes the whole of the trade
unions should be affiliated either in a federation mI
this description or of the Congress of which we are the
representatives. What we want is fewer trade-unions
ami more trade-unionism, and. as I have already said,
I hail with pleasure the fact that during the last ten
years the number of trade unions has diminished by
no less than fifty.
It is impossible to give statistics relating to thi
whole of the L,666 trade in s of our country. The
Board of Trade compilations of figures relate to the
hundred principal trade unions of our c itr\. I find
Hint at the end of L903 the membership of these hun-
dred trade-unions amounted to 1,643,640, and the
aggregate income of these hundred I rade unions
amounted to $10,368,000, or nine dollars per member.
Their expenditures amounted to $9,475,000, while their
total aggregate funds amounted to the sum of $22,-
753,000, or twenty dollars per nieinbi r. This, ill brief,
is the numerical and financial position of the trade
unions of the United Kingdom at the present time.

the engineering trade. It is our proud boast that we
provide for every contingency in a man's condition
of employment, and we give benefits which provide
for the whole of these contingencies. We pay out-of-
work, sick, funeral, superannuation benefits; we give
mce in connection with employers' liability
and workmen's compensation, and in addition we
have a special fund which seeks to provide houses for
our own members intended for their own occupation.
We do all these things upon a contribution of twenty-
four cents per week per member. You may well ask
how it is we can do so. I can scarcely tell myself.
unless it is that practically the whole of this twenty-
cents per week goes either to the payment of
benefits or to accumulate funds as a guarantee that
benefits will be duly and punctually met. Our
management practically costs the society nothing. We
have been most fortunate with regard to the accumu-
lation of funds, and we were at the beginning of this
year in the very satisfactory position of being the
third wealthiest national organization in the universe.
We havi able to so invest our money that the
interest derived from our investments has been suffi-
cient to pay the whole cost of management. We have
able to organize our trade so that out of
7,000 pattern makers in the Kingdom we have 6,000
in our association, and we are now the best organized
trade in connection with the engineering industry in
( treat Britain.
1 attribute the great success we have met with to
the tart that we provide the scale of benefits to which
I have already referred.
The members are bound to their organizations by
hooks of steel, and there is no sacrifice they are not
prepared to undertake rather than sever their eon-
nection with an organization which is prepared to do
so much for them. Only a few months ago we em-
barked in the greatest strike we were ever involved
in. For six months eight hundred of our members
were out on strike throughout the Clyde district.
The whole of our membership outside of the strike
area considered the strike absolutely hopeless. At the
same time we were willing to give our men in the
fighting line a fair field and every favor and we had
no difficulty in raising our twenty-four cents a week
by 125 per cent. The mental and financial strain upon
the members was a great one, but the strike was suc-
cessful and we did not lose twenty members. I at-
tribute that happy ending to a serious struggle to the
tact that, we have anticipated the advice you have
given, Mr. Chairman, to this Federation. We have
bound our members to their organization by the
1 have already referred to.
I have to apologize for interpolating these remarks
in relation to my own Association, but I simply do it
to clinch the arguments your chairman made, and
with which 1 am in full accord. The policy of the
trade-union movement can be summed up in half a
dozen words. It is to maintain by every legitimate
means the workmen's standard of living; to improve
by every legitimate means that standard, and, above
and beyond all, to demand and insist upon the recogni-
tion of the principle of the living wage.
Turning from this brief resume of the general
trade-union movement and referring to the more par-
ticular question of the Trade-Union Congress we are
representing, I propose in a very few words to give
a brief account of the institution, the constitution
an. I work done and the work projected by that body.
I may say the Trade-Union Congress was founded
in L867, about thirty -eight years ago. Less than fifty
delegates took part in the first Congress, but they in-
cluded the industrial giants of the time — George Al-
len, who did such magnificent work in connection
with the establishment of our premier organization,
the Amalgamated Society of Engineers; John Kane,
of the Iron Workers; McDonald and Burke, of the
Miners. Burke is still with us, and was a delegate
at the recent meeting at Hanley.
(At this point in Mr. Mosses' address a flag in the
hall tuck tire. After the fire had been extinguished,
.Mr. Musses continued:)
i have to present my most abject apologies for hav-
the flag on fire. I can assure you that your
incendiarism was much more serious than mini', be-
I remember distinctly at the Bristol Trade-
Union Congress the fiery speeches of your delegates,
instead of setting a flag on fire, burned down the
hall, so you still have the bulge on the British
unionists.
I have already mentioned Allen and Kane and Mc-
Donald and Burke. Besides there were Odger, of the
Shoemakers; Dan (iinle, of the Mulders, ami last,
but nut least, George Howell, who, as the first Secre-
tary uf the Parliamentary Committee, has done mure
in mold the Constitution of the Trade-Union Congress
than any other man. From that small beginning the
Trade-Union Congress has grown to its present di-
mensions. At tin- last Trade-Union Congress at Han-
ley there were 206 societies represented by about 500
tes, who, in their turn, represented 1,000,000
trade-unionists.
Many changes have taken place in the Constitu-
tion of the Trade-Union Congress. At one time one
of its chief features was that we should have some
eminent political celebrity come to our meetings to
lecture us. However, we have now so many budding
orators in our ranks that we have had to discard that
practice, and we now have difficulty in providing five
minutes for each member of the Congress to address
it. We have had to amend the Constitution to pro-
vide that only men who are actually working at their
i i:u|us, or who are permanent officials of the societies,
shall be delegates to the Congress. That has cleared
the Congress of many men good enough in them-
selves but who could not be regarded as bona fide
trade-unionists. We are very careful in the compila-
tion of the agenda of business. Six months before
the Congress meets notices are sent out inviting res-
olutions. 'i lotions are earefuly compiled and
wiiii another invitation to send in amendments.
All of this is carefully compiled and sent to the dele-
gates in ample time for them to bring the whole busi-
ness before their own meetings if they so desire. We
i Parliamentary Committee of representatives
of the different trades connected with the Congress.
They receive no pay from the Congress, except their
I. an- expenses, and I suppose they get the meed of
thanks usually accorded to men who work voluntarily
in the trade-union movement.
It is impossible to recapitulate the whole of the
work which has been done during the thirty-eight
years the Congress has existed; but we claim that no
representative gathering of the British people has had
more practical results than has the work of the Brit-
ish Trade-Union Congress. Its first principle was
the repeal of the laws against trade-union combina-
tions, the legalizing of trade unions and the protec-
tion of their funds, as well as providing for the is-
suance of statistical information with regard to the
trade-union movement in Great Britain. They have
also been the means of securing innumerable amend-
ments to the Factory Acts. The hours of women and
children have been reduced at the instance of Con-
gress. Overtime has been reduced to the smallest pos-
sible limit, and a large and fairly efficient but still
inadequate number of male and female factory in-
spectors have been appointed to see that the provi-
sions of the Factory Acts have been carried out.
There have also been more amendments to the Coal
Mines Legislation Act than I am competent to deal
with. Dangerous trades have been classified and ren-
dered as innocuous as it is possible to render them.
From the beginning the Congress has insisted that
employers should be made responsible for the acci-
dents which occur to the workmen in their employ-
ment, and it is owing to this that the Employers'
Liability Ait and the Workmen's Compensation Act
have been brought into existence. So far back as
1869 the question of elementary education was be-
fore the Congress, and it is largely owing to its in-
fluence that our present Elementary Education Act
has been passed and is in existence. It was owing
to the influence of the Congress that the late Mr.
I'limsoll began and carried out his crusade against
what was commonly known as the "coffin ship."
With regard to the present work and the future
prospects of the Trade-Union Congress. 1 may say-
that at Hanley fifty-five resolutions and amendments
were submitted for the consideration of the Congress.
The most important was that connected with the
Trades' Dispute bill, to which Mr. Moffit has re-
ferred. The reason for this bill was because of the
Ta If -Vale Railway judgment. It has always been one
of the most valued provisions of the Trade-Union Act
that a member of a trade-union had no power under
the law to sue his organization for benefits which
were withheld, and per contra, a trade-union has never
hitherto been able to sue a member for dues withheld.
I am not aware of a single instance in which a trade-
union has voluntarily disputed its just liabilities.
We have also held that this provision exempted us
from litigation in other ways. The main object was
that the funds of the trade-union should be kept for
the purpose for which they were contributed. How-
ever, we have found we have been living in a fool's
paradise for the last thirty-eight years. A few years
ago the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants
came out on strike in TaflNVale in South Wales.
These men undoubtedly violated the law. They were
under a contract with their employers to give and
take a fortnight's notice. Unfortunately the Execu-
tive Council of this association took this action, and
the railway company determined to strike out in an en-
tirely new direction. Tney thought it was very little
use going for an ordinary railway man for a breach of
contract. I have never yet met the railway man that
was worth powder and shot from a legal standpoint.
They determined to go for the organization, and, to
tic Consternation am! amazement of the whole trade
union world they succeeded in getting a verdict. That
verdict was reversed on appeal, but ultimately it came
before the Bouse of Lords, and there it was held that
a society possessing property, having a general staff,
permanent officials and possessing plenary powers must
lie held as responsible as an ordinary corporation, ami
found them liable in damages and costs to the extent
of $135,000. This decision has been followed by liti-
gation throughout the length and breadth of the
country, and the net results have been to very seriously
cripple tin- effectiveness of trade-unions in Great
Britain as fighting machines.
Needless to say, the Parliamentary Committee of
the Trade-Union Congress at once realized the re-
sponsibility of this position and drafted a bill called
the Trades' Dispute bill. Then they endeavored by
every means in their power to stir up a strong national
feeling in behalf of that bill. Meetings were held in
our chief industrial centers, and the whole political
machine was put into operation to 'secure its pa
The bill passed its second reading by an overwhelm-
ing majority, and the result was received with accla-
mation throughout the length and breadth of the land,
which has had no parallel since the passage of the Re-
form bill. The bill itself was referred to a commit-
tee and was so emasculated that if it was passed the
position of the trade-unionist would be as uncertain
i [lore. As a matter of fact the labor and progres-
sive members of that committee withdrew and allowed
the remaining members to do as they liked with the
bill. When it came before the House of I 'ominous, at
the request of the labor members the bill was with-
drawn, and we are now, in respect to the Taff-Vale de-
cision, exactly where we have been for the last five
y< ars.
Another question that requires attention is the
Workmen 's Compensation Act. The Act contains
some very excellent provisions, and it also contains
sonic striking anomalies. We don't know for exam-
ple, whether a well ten feet is a building thirty feet
high or not ; but the object of the whole of the trade-
union amendments to that Act is to make employers
responsible for all and every accident, which takes
place whilst workmen are in the course of their em-
ployment.
The question of physical deterioration also occupies
considerable attention in the Congress. We feel it is
little use asking children who are underfed to imbibe
the ordinary elementary education, and we are seek-
ing from the Imperial Exchequer provision for at
least one full meal a day for all school children, to-
gether with free medical inspection, and that without
rendering the parents of these children liable to the
action of the Poor Law. Large areas in our large
towns are being continually cleared of undesirable
houses, but this reform will be useless if we allow the
jerry builder and the slum builder to erect undesir-
able houses on these cleared spaces. The Trade-
Union Congress is seeking to encourage 1 1
of better houses by allowing the people to get loans
on easier terms than at the present time. We are
also seeking as a collateral to this movement to have
the (heap Trains Amendment, so that houses mav
be built in the suburbs that workingmen may have
fresh air in their homes, something which is often
denied them in their workshops and factories.
There is also the question of the hours of labor.
That used to be, perhaps, the most important ques-
tion brought before the Trade-Union Congress, and
used to produce some of the most interesting d
A large section of the delegates resented any inter-
ference by the Government with adult male labor.
However, we are almost all converted, and now we
think we should have an eight-hour day by legal en-
act meat. At the same time, I am very sorry to say
the question has passed largely to the academic stage,
and we have the same resolutions coming up year after
year regarding an eight-hour day, with very little ex-
pectation of our doing anything towards securing the
passage of such an Act, In the industry I represent
we have a nine-hour day. We did not get that by
legal enactment; we got it by trade-union efforts.
I have here a note with respect to compulsory in-
dustrial arbitration, upon which I should like to say
a few words, because I understand the question is one
of great importance here. It is a question which has
been before the Congress for the last four or live
years. Curiously enough, at the second annual Con-
gress held in Birmingham thirty-seven years ago, tie
question of State arbitration was brought forward
and was debated for a day and a half, but we
know with what results. During the last few years the
Dockers ' representatives have brought up the ques-
tion of compulsory State arbitration, and it has been
invariably defeated by an overwhelming majority.
Last year it was brought up and there was a consid-
erable change in the opinion of the delegates who
were present, and by a small majority only was the
resolution in favor of compulsory and State arbitra-
tion defeated. Personally, 1 am against compulsory
State arbitration. I am also against strikes, but I
would rather be defeated in the open field than I
would be gerrymandered around the conference table.
This arbitration means an equal number of workmen
and employers sitting in conference about a table.
The chairman shall be some one appointed by tie-
Board of Trade, and that some one we know will be
an eminent barrister or a derelict judge. 1. for one,
refuse to subscribe to State arbitration when those
we are inten sted in and i i ill lie plai
the mercy of one whose sentiments are entirely I
to the sentiments of those we represi nt. I shall not
favor this sort of arbitration until I can lie assured
the chairman shall be a bona fide representative of
tabor. D is true that in our colony of New Zealand
they have compulsory State arbitration, and il is said
to work exceedingly well there. New Zealand has
been described as a country without a strike, but at
the same time what may suit New Zealand will not
suit Great Britain. There is as great a difference be-
tween tin- two countries as possibly can be imagined.
Great Britain is an industrial country. New Zealand
is an agrarian country. Great Britain has free trade;
New Zealand has a high tariff. Great Britain lives
by its manufactured products; New Zealand imports
most of its manufactured products. Cue country is
old and fully developed; the other is new and in its
primary stage, and the conditions which apply to an
old ami developed country cannot be, with advantage,
applied to a new and untried country.
The New Zealand arbitration courts so far have
only dealt with one industry — the building industry.
As I have already said, the data we have with regard
to the operation of these courts dues not, in my opin-
ion, favor their adoption by th from which

A Dead-Letter Law.
The State of New York has on its statute
books a law limiting the hours of labor in fac-
tories of boys between sixteen and eighteen
and, of women over sixteen years of age. As
is frequently the case with excellent laws of
this kind, its makers, for reasons best known
to themselves, made this law practically in-
operative by failing to provide adequate means
for its enforcement. Hence, of course, the
law is being violated openly, and with impu-
nity, by the manufacturers of the State, to
the lasting injury of the persons whom it was
ostensibly enacted to protect. Commissioner
Sherman, of the State Department of Labor,
believes in consequence that it may yet be nec-
essary to pass another law, amendatory and
complemental of the present one. Speaking
on this subject in Albany, Mr. Sherman is re-
ported as having said :
The Bureau of Factory Inspection is now giving
much attention, particularly in New York City, to the
laws which limit the hours of labor in factories of
boys between sixteen and eighteen and of women over
sixteen. Night inspections, to ascertain the prevalence
and character of violations of this law, are now being-
made. The investigations have not proceeded far
enough to establish any definite conclusions, but they
indicate that the law in these respects is violated.
That this law has never been fully and strictly en-
forced, but has stood upon our statute books to a
great extent as a mere expression of a moral aspira-
tion, is indisputable. Almost equally indisputable is
the proposition that its strict and general enforce-
ment would radically change the course of industry in
this State. Under the circumstances the officers of
this department feel that it is well worth while to in-
vestigate the subject deliberately and carefully, with
the hope that after we have learned the actual con-
ditions it may prove to be possible to draw a law with
provisions so adapted to conditions in different indus-
tries that they will not radically interfere with them,
and yet will shorten or tend to shorten the hours of
labor of the women and boys employed in them.
It will be observed that Commissioner Sher-
man treats the subject very gingerly, and
carefully refrains from hurting anybody's
feelings. Mr. Sherman is unfortunately in
such a position that he can not well afford to
be outspoken on the enforcement of certain
labor laws, for he is the appointee of Gover-
nor Higgins, the putative owner and part
owner of a number of factories, the revenue
from which would be considerably lessened
were the laws of the State governing the em-
ployment of women and children in factories
strictly enforced. This is no doubt what Mr.
Sherman had in mind when he said that the
strict and general enforcement of these laws
"would radically change the course of indus-
try in the State." This whole thing is espe-
cially instructive as tending to show what a
pitiable farce our so-called " representative
government" is, viewed from the standpoint
of one of the governed. Governor Higgins
was nominated by the Republican State ma-
chine, not because he had ever done anything
for the citizens of the State entitling him to
the least recognition from them, but because
he was a representative business man, of the
"safe, sane and conservative" type, who
could be trusted to look after the "industries"
of the State — child labor, woman labor, and
all. His election was a foregone conclusion,
for every manufacturer in the State who had
a pecuniary interest in the non-enforcement
of its labor laws — that is, every manufacturer
in the State — contributed heavily to the cam-
paign fund of the "business men's party."
Between a Governor of that stripe, and courts
whose judges owe their appointments to their
willingness to serve the interests that control
the "machine," it may reasonably be sur-
mised that the State Commissioner of Labor
has a difficult task on his hands when he tries
to enforce the laws that come within the scope
of his department, But, so long as the people
allow themselves to be governed by their
"public servants," they are entitled to no bet-
ter government than they are getting.
Eugene V. Debs addressed a large meeting
of workingmen at the Grand Central Palace
in New York on Dec. 10, on the mission in
the world of the Industrial AVorkers of the
World. Mr. Debs declared in brief that "the
old form of unionism" had outlived its useful-
ness, that the hour for a change had come, and
that the Industrial Workers were going to ef-
fect the change, etc. The National Civic Fed-
eration he characterized as "a harmony band"
run by a "trinity" representing capitalists,
the working class, and the public. ' ' The cap-
italist class," he said, "is represented by that
good and true union man, August Belmont;
the working class by Samuel Gompers, and the
public by Grover Cleveland." Hisses greeted
the mention of each of the three names. Mr.
Debs was in good voice and better spirits, and
spoke for the greater part of two hours. The
gist of his remarks was that all capitalists were
robbers and oppressors, that the proletariat
was whiter than snow, and that he, personally,
was opposed to everything and everybody ex-
cept the Industrial Workers of the World.
Brother C. W. Post is greatly agitated over
a report spread by the wicked Coffee Trust,
to the effect that his "Postum" is a combina-
tion of chicory, horse livers, bootlegs, saw-
dust and damaged grain ground and roasted
into a semblance of real coffee. In an ad-
vertisement he offers $100,000 for proof that
will show that "Postum" is not as immacu-
late in its makeup as the ambrosia and nectar
of the gods. He is particularly wroth over
the uncharitable assertion that the exhilarat-
ing effects of "Postum" are due to opium in-
stead of to any inherent tonic properties of
its constituent parts. Of course, it may all be
a wicked conspiracy of the Coffee Trust to
ruin Brother Post's business, but until it has
been proven so it will be the part of wisdom
for every man who values his health to ab-
stain from the use of "Postum."
Four delegates of the New York Bricklay-
ers' and Bricklayers' Helpers' Unions were
arrested recently, charged with attempted ex-
tortion, on the complaint of a contractor. The
particulars of the case, brought out at their
trial, showed that they had simply told the
contractor that work upon his contracts would
be stopped until he had paid their respective
unions some money which he owed them for
work done on previous contracts. The counsel
for the defendants thereupon showed I he courl
that a decision of Justice Giegerich, rendered
in relation to the Gotham Building Const rue
tion Company, gave the Bricklayers' Union
the right to refuse to go ahead with a. new eon-
tract until old contracts on which tiny had
worked had been fully paid for. All the de-
fendants were discharged by the court.
Mis cellaneous.
That the much-contemned and distrusted
"mob" is really the most, "safe, sane and con-
servative" element in the community is abun-
dantly proven by the fact that wherever the
suffrage is most nearly universal, and the
popular representation in the government
most nearly direct, there the government is
always the most, stable. This is so because
"the mob" is the natural custodian of all
those national traditions, customs and prece-
dents of civic and social mediocrity which im-
part to the "voice of the plain people" that
authoritative ring which has been euphoni-
ously compared to the "voice of God." There-
fore, if we want the best government and most
stable social institutions of which human na-
ture is capable, give the "mob" the Initiative
and Referendum and the Recall, and direct
nominations and elections of all public offi-
cials, judges and representatives. With the
"mob" in control of the government, the
"eminent citizen" grafters who now so con-
descendingly patronize honest men would find
their occupation too unprofitable to be longer
followed.
The New York Herald thinks that "the
moral sense of the country has been shocked"
by the importation to Colon of a couple of
shiploads of "wives" for the laborers on the
Panama Canal. On the same day that the
Herald bethought itself— in type— of the sin-
fulness of that transaction, a prominent New
York clergyman complained to the police of
that city that while walking the length of one
block only he had been accosted and solicited
by no less than four women, although he was
dressed in clerical garb. The preaching of
that parable about the mote in our neighbor's
eye and the beam in our own seems to have
gone for naught in this age of pharisaical cant
and humbug. The Jamaica negroes on the
Isthmus, with their un-churched wives, cannot
at any rate be charged with leading "double
lives," that highly moral and domestic custom
of our own "holier-than-thou" civilization.
The Rev. Madison C. Peters, of New York-,
speaking of our immigration problem, says:
Ninety per cent of the immigrants are common
laborers, who enter into direct compel it ion with tin-
laborers already in this country. The mm who as-
sist the oppressed who come here are not grieving be-
cause the workmen in Europe are starving. They
bring them here to get their services at European
wages.
If a trade-unionist had said that, t>'\wy
anarchist capitalist in the land would have
been out for him with a hammer of the I',,si
"Square Deal" pattern, not to mention the
college professors and those other estimable
gentlemen, clerical and otherwise, who would
rather ride soulful hobbies than worry their
esthetic minds with uncongenial and common-
place facts. As it happened to be a clergy-
man who said it, it will be put down to the
well-known proneness of fashionable clergj
men to say something shocking and original
once in a while so as to lend color to the
theory that they are modern disciples of the
"lowly \a/,arenc. "
As the individual citizen is trained so tic |

It is not on record that the discussion on
"tainted money" has turned a single "promi-
nent citizen" from his beloved pursuit of the
mephitic stuff.

The three-masted schooner Advance, from Ban Fran-
cis.o for Coquille River, Or., was reported ashore in
the vicinity of the latter port on December 29th and
likely to be a total wreck.
Captain P. M. Johnson of the steamer Breakwater
has reported to the Branch Hydrographic office that
the North Spit Jetty buoy, No. 1, at Coos Bay, Or.,
has disappeared.
The British ship Senator, previously reported as
having put into East London, South Africa, while
bound from Puget Sound, is to be repaired at an es-
timated cost of £795.
Captain E. V. Gates, late of the American ship S.
P. Hitchcock, died on December 20 at Liverpool, Eng.
He was one of the old-time shipmasters well known
on the Coast by the present generation.
The British four-masted ship Pass of Melfort,
from Panama for Puget Sound, was totally wrecked,
with the loss of all hands, on Vancouver Island on
December 26. A heavy southwest gale prevailed at
the time.
The British ship Dumfriesshire, 186 days out from
Leith for Honolulu, arrived at her destination on De-
cember 26, and was crossed from the list of overdues.
For some time previously the ship had been posted,
with a rate of 10 per cent quoted.
A world 's record for loading lumber was estab-
lished on December 22 • at Port Gamble, Wash., by
stevedores loading tht British steamer Henley. In
eleven hours 503,000 feet of lumber were stowed away
through four hatches, twelve men being engaged at
each hatch.
The steamer Miowera, at Victoria, B. G, from Aus-
tralia, brought news of the arrival of the American
five-masted schooner Kineo at Brisbane with Captain
Patten, his wife and the rest of the crew suffering
from beri-beri. The master's eight-year-old daughter
was the only one to escape.
Mariners are notified that on or about December 25,
1905, the United States drydoek Dewey will leave
Solomons Island, Chesapeake Bay, in tow for the Phil-
ippine Islands, via Suez Canal. Mariners are requested,
in view of the length and unwieldiness of this tow, to
use every precaution in approaching and passing it.
Lightship No. 83, Captain Quinton, sailed again
from San Francisco on December 28 for her station
off Blunt 's Reef, near Cape Mendocino, after having
been overhauled and equipped with new mooring chains
and anchors.
With 100,000 feet of her deckload of lumber gone
and badly battered and torn from a strenuous three
days ' conflict with a heavy gale, the barkentine Tropic
Bird, Captain Wickman, fourteen days from Columbia
River, arrived at San Pedro, Cal., on December 29.
The American bark Hecla, from Manila, P. 1., for
Port Townsend, Wash., put into San Francisco on De-
cember 27 in a leaky condition, as a result of bad
weather experienced shortly after leaving the former
port. The Hecla will be repaired before proceeding
North.
Dispatches from Skagway state that the steamer
Portland will be a total loss. The steamer Amur
passed the vessel on the trip North and Captain Me-
Leod says that the vessel is fast breaking up. The
Portland went ashore on Spire Island, nine miles from
Ketchikan, on December 21.
The steam-schooner Charles Nelson, in the lumber
and passenger trade between Tacoma and San Fran-
cisco, put into Port Townsend, Wash., in distress on
December 27, having run into a heavy gale off Cape
Flattery. Her deck cargo had shifted, her fresh-water
supply was exhausted and the engine room was half
full of water.
.John K. Bulger and O. F. Bolles, Local Inspectors
of Hulls and Boilers, at San Francisco, have suspended
the licenses of Henry Weber and James Spencer, mas-
ter and chief engineer, respectively, of the steamer
Despatch, for ninety days each on account of the fire
on that vessel on December 8, which caused the death
of ten-year-old James Mitchell.
Captain George Calhoun, late master of the ship
George Curtis, died on December 23 at his Alameda
home of pneumonia after a brief illness. Captain
Calhoun was a well-known and well-liked mariner, and
was the son of the late Captain Calhoun, who in years-
past commanded the barkentine Archer, the bark Cey-
lon and other vessels familiar to San Francisco.
The steamers Buckman and Watson, recently arriv-
ing on the Coast to enter the service of the Barneson-
Hibberd Company, will be converted into oil-burners
within the next few weeks. Both steamers have lost
no time in getting into the Coast trade, and the pros-
pect of enjoying a profitable trade is good. But
both of these steamers are in the meantime to be
laid up.
Bids for the steam freight and passenger schooner,
which the Pacific. Coast Steamship Company intended
to place on the Seattle-San Francisco run, have been
opened at Seattle, Wash., and found to be far in ex-
cess of the estimates made by the company. J. C.
Ford, President of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com-
pany, stated that the company would now attempt to
buy a schooner.
The fact that she is equipped with twin propellers
saved the steamer Homer on December 28. The
Homer, bound for San Francisco, snapped her rudder
when on the Columbia River bar, rendering the steer-
ing gear helpless. Great seas broke over the vessel,
but Captain Donaldson, by working the twin propel-
lers, kept away from the breakers and returned safely
to Astoria.
The French steamship company known as the Com-
pagnie des Chargeurs-Reunis, which has recently b
gurated a round-the-world service, with San Franci co
.•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•"^•'^ ^^^^5^5^5?^
as a principal port of call, appears to be a prosperous
concern. It is reported that the company lias just de-
clared a dividend of 20 francs per share for the pafll
working year. The profits for the past year amounted
to 6,199,181 francs.
A telegram was received at San Francisco on De-
cember 28 reporting that the American bark Challen-
ger, Captain Peterson, had arrived a! Kobe, Japan,
from Killisnoo, British Columbia, with her cargo on
fire. The Challenger carried a cargo of fertilize!-. No
particulars are at hand, but the owners of the Chal-
lenger, Hind, Rolph & Co., believe that the cargo had
no more than heated during the passage across the
Pacific.
The agreement dividing the Oriental flour trade be-
tween the large transpacific steamship companies ended
recently as a result of the Great Northern Steamship
Company refusing to confine itself to Oregon and
Washington. The Harriman lines, it is said, will es-
tablish agencies at Portland, Seattle and Tacoma, and
the Boston Steamship Company, operating the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha Lines, and the Northern Pacific will en-
ter California.
The schooner Jennie Stella, owned by Thomas II.
Sellers of San Francisco, is a wreck near Navidad, on
the Mexican coast. A telegram received on December
26 reported that the vessel had gone ashore while
bound from Fort Bragg, via La Paz, to Navidad,
where she was to have taken aboard a cargo of valu-
able logs. The crew were saved. The Jennie Stella
was commanded by Captain O. Anderson, and was
built in 1876 at Coos Bay.
Only one vessel is left on the lis! of overdue ships
po_sted at San Francisco. This is the German ship
Alsternixe. out 191 days on the passage from Ham-
burg for Santa Rosalia. For some time past the Al-
sternixe has been quoted on the board at 10 per cent
for reinsurance. The only other overdue posted recent-
ly— the British ship Craigmore, 167 days out from
Cardiff for Honolulu — arrived on December 28 at her
destination, after having been posted for some days
at a rate of 10 per cent.
Robert Dollar, the veteran shipbuilder ai d Presi-
dent of the Dollar Steamship Company, will take a
large amount of Washington and California fruit to
China as presents to high Chinese officials. His in-
tention is to furnish Chinese officials with a practical
illustration of what the Coast produces, and endeavor
to stimulate trade between the two countries and
modify the severity of the boycott which exists in the
southern part of the Empire." He has purchased 150
boxes of the choicest, Washington apples, ten boxes of
choice Washington potatoes and fifty boxes of Cali-
fornia oranges.
The lightkeeper at Carmauah Point, B. C, reports
finding considerable wreckage, indicating a disaster
has befallen a schooner, if not another vessel also, on
the rocks of Vancouver Island. Five miles east of
Carmanah two sealing boats, painted lead color out-
side, and oak stained inside, were found, together with
a. schooner's mast with part of the rigging attached
and part of a life buoy, which evidently had not been
long in the water and seemed fresh painted, with the
letters "P. O., " followed by a space where there had
evidently been three other letters, and then the letters
"I. U. " Three miles west of Carmanah part of an-
other life buoy was found, with the letters " Po. O. "
and the words "of Newcastle." Captain Grant, man-
ager of the Victoria Sealing Company, states that the
description of the sealing boats washed on Vancouver
Island coast is similar to that of the boats of the
schooner Fawn, which left Bering Sea. with 502 seal-
skins on October 4, and never reached port.

Selves without the assistance id' the society. We
trying to get an old society together again. Others
have left the society and want me to communicate
with the Eastern States for recognition. The recenl
awards will shake a lot of the societies up, and 1 can
see every day my views and opinions of the Act ami
its evils coming true. Even with preference to union-
ists, it is bad. * * *
"Those who are agitating in favor of the Arbitra-
tion Act are those who an' seeking billets through the
Act and whom the societies will have to keep in idle-
ness for weeks to save their fines. 1 am very much
cut up over our society. Previous to the registration
we held a strong position and were looked up to as a
tower of strength. Now we have disappeared ami
spent all our funds. If is draining the funds of all
the societies, and some cannot, pay their way. It is
also terribly expensive."
This, gentlemen, is the testimony of a man who
has had practical experience of the working of these
Acts in Western Australia, and I think that forms a
very satisfactory oll'set to the experience gained in
New Zealand.
I shall refer very briefly to the work of the Con
ciliation Act, passed with great pomp and circum-
stance nine years ago. The object of this Act was to
obtain conciliation in all industrial disputes, and it
was hailed by those who did not know any better as
a means of permanently scotching any strike move-
ment undertaken by either employer or workman in
the future. So far as I can find out, if is the most
melancholy instance of misdirected energy on the
statute books of Great Britain. During the nine years
it has been in existence, 181 cases have- been settled
under the Act, an average of twenty per annum, and
they have mostly been of a most trumpery character.
Since the passing of the Act we have had 5,673
strikes, involving 1,687,555 men, and lasting for more
days than I could say in a single breath. Out of
nearly 6,000 strikes only 121 have been settled under
the Conciliation Act. I should like to say further
that the number of strikes is diminishing in our
country. Last year we had 334 strikes, averaging
seventeen days for every one who was on strike. In
1896, we had 906 strikes. The diminution during the
last ten years in the number of strikes has gradually
continued, and I am glad to see it. I think the
strike is the poorest commercial venture a society ever
embarked on. The results have not been by any
means of a nature to encourage the strike policy.
Seventeen per cent of these strikes were successful,
31 partially successful, ami 41 went entirely in favor
of the employers. I think there is abundant reason
for going slow in the matter of conciliation. The
opinion of the delegates to the Trade-Union Con
gress is certainly changing, however, and I should not
be surprised if it gains more rapidly in the future.
In conclusion, I should like, as one of the delegates
of the British Trade-Union Congress, to reciprocate
the fraternal greetings which have been presented to
the British Trade-Union Congress from time to time
by the delegates you have sent over. Personally, I
have experienced a kindness, a courtesy, a hospitality
and a forbearance since coming to this country which
I shall never forget, and which I have never experi-
enced before. I shall never, as long as I live, forget
the reception I have met with at the hands of the
American trade-unionists. But at the same time, if
our intercourse has to be restricted to these fraternal
greetings, I am rather inclined to think we are wast
ing a good deal of time ami a good deal of money.
I think you will agree with me that the main reason
for these delegates from America to England and
from England to America is to promote international
solidarity, goodwill and amity. After all, it should
not be difficult to do this. Our methods may be some
what different, but our fundamental principles are
identical. Our object is to secure to the worker the
full fruit of his toiling. We wish to abolish the
loafer; not only the poor, human derelict whom we see
infesting our slums and our alleys, but the loafer at.
the other end of the social ladder, the gilded youth
who toils not, neither does he spin, who fares sumptu-
ously every day and who never did an lamest day's
work in his life. We want to abolish the millionaire,
ise wherever we find the millionaire we find his
natural sequence, the pauper. We wish to give equal
opportunities to every working man and working
woman ami to every child to develop all that is high-
est and noblest ami best in their characters. I'.evoml
all, we wish to reform ourselves. We condemn trusts
and combinations, but is there not a tendenC} to <■
our trade-unions something iii the nature 'of trusts
and combinations by raising up perpendiculai rail-
ings against each other? I for one will never be sat-
isfied until I see the fully paid up card of a. bona fide
trade-unionist secure for its holder a warm we]
in any country in the world in which he mav lind him
self. This may be a stupendous program, but if ue
are true to ourselves, if we are true to each other and
to the principles we prea h, i see nothing extraordi
nan in the fulfillment of mi ideals.
i often ask myself whether we are on right lines. I
B I i"> Of whether those who come after us will not
profit by our experience and gain wisdom from our
failures and lie, I an . t,, social and . | onomic
n forms than we have been able to do. i have studied
every " ism " which has ben brought forward from
time to time as a panacea for the industrial ills which
flesh is heir to, and, so far as inv personal' opinion is

turn can be effected. Only by that form of indus-

SAVE THE HOSPITALS!
Whereas, The Secretary of the Treasury has recom-
mended the abolition of the United States Marine
Hospitals now located at Portland, Me., Vineyan
Haven, Wilmington, Del., Key West, Fla., Louisville,
Kv. Evansville, Ind.. St. Louis. Mo.. Memphis Tenn.,
Cairo, 111., Cleveland, O., Detroit, Mich., and Port
Townsend, Wash.; and
Whereas, The recommendation for the abolition ot
these establishments is based upon the sole ground
of economy; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, in
regular meeting assembled at Headquarters, San Fran-
cisco Cal., that we protest against the recommenda-
tions herein referred to, upon the following grounds,
to wit- That the expenditure involved in the main-
tenance of the Marine Hospitals is small in comparison
to the service rendered; that such service is necessary
for the care of those engaged in the maritime indus-
try that the abolition of these establishments would
involve the "farming out" of sick and disabled sea-
men a custom now prevalent in certain localities and
one that leads to great abuses, both in neglect of the
patients and in imposition upon the Government; that
such a system creates. a feeling of degradation on the
part of the seamen thus treated ; further, be it
Resolved, That we respectfully urge upon the Gov-
ernment the need of maintaining, and as far as pos-
sible improving, the existing Marine Hospitals; fur-
ther, be it
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be tor-
warded to the Committee on Appropriations of the
House of Representatives and the Committee on Ap-
propriations of the Senate, with a request for Hie
favorable consideration thereof.
The foregoing resolutions were adopted by
the Sailors' Union of the Pacific on Decem-
ber 26. Similar action will be taken by the
seamen's unions and other maritime bodies
throughout the country. When the recomm di-
ctation of the Treasury Department is under-
stood by the public at large the protest of the
seamen will doubtless receive general support
/hroughout the country. The public will, of
course, be glad to learn that the Government
has put about on the retrenchment tack, but it
will be likely to decide that retrenchment may
fie better undertaken in directions other than
that implied by the proposal to save a few
thousand dollars at the cost of suffering and
death to a large number of the "wards of the
Nation."
To those who take pride in the resources of
the National treasury — and their name is le-
gion— the recommendation of the Secretary of
the Treasury will appear as a humiliating
plea of poverty, the more so as that plea is
entirely without justification in the facts.
Had Secretary Shaw based his recommenda-
tion for the abolition of certain Marine Hos-
pitals upon the ground that these institutions
are no longer needed, the case would be some-
what different. No such claim is made, how-
ever; on the contrary, the Secretary of the
Treasury, by his proposal that sick seamen
sliall in future be "farmed out," clearly ad-
mits the continued need of the Marino Hos-
pitals in question. The latter feature of the
recommendation is particularly repugnant to
seamen and is likely to prove equally so to the
public. Public pride, offended by the implied
charge of poverty, is certain to revolt against
the suggestion that the seamen shall be turned
over to the tender mercies of a set of grafters
unworthy even of the name of quacks. The
experience of the seamen in those localities
in which the "farming-out" process has here-
tofore been practiced proves that the men thus
treated are regarded as paupers, "whom no-
body owns." The consequent sense of degra-
dation on the part of the seamen may be bet-
ter imagined than described. In effect, the
recommendation of the Secretary of the Treas-
ury is a proposal that the Government shall
evade its responsibility for the care of its
"wards." Rather a curious proposition on
the part of a Government which professes
greal solicitude for the future of the seafar-
ing elass!
The Marine Hospital Service was instituted
in view of the constant liability of the seamen
to illness and accident. Conditions in this re-
spect have not altered for the better, but
rather have become aggravated. Whether re-
garded from a humanitarian or from a busi-
ness standpoint, the Marine Hospital Service
is as much a necessity to-day as at any period
(luring its history. That Service, instead of
being "retrenched," should be enlarged. Con-
cerning the charges of extravagance in the
management of the Marine Hospitals, it re-
mains to be said that, however well founded
these may be, they do not touch the "man
lower down," i. e., the man in bed. In fact,
as applied to the latter, the charge of extrav-
agance is the veriest irony. The treatment of
the patients in the Marine Hospitals has al-
ways been, and still is, economical to the last
degree, to a degree bordering upon niggardli-
ness. If any part of the funds appropriated
for the Marine Hospital Service has stuck to
anyone's lingers, no reasonable objection can
be made to rapping the said digits. However,
there is no necessary or even natural connec-
tion between the latter process and that pro-
posed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The
Marine Hospitals shoidd be maintained in
their present numbers and efficiency, and im-
proved upon wherever possible. Above all,
the seaman, temporarily disabled in the pur-
suit of his calling, should not be "farmed out"
as an object of Governmental charity and pub-
lic contempt.
THE MOSSES ADDRESS.
The International Typographical Union is to
be congratxtlated upon the prospects of success
in the movement for the establishment of the
eight-hour day in the printing trade. The or-
ganized seamen, in common with the workers
in all other industries, offer their best wishes
for the complete success of the printers in
their effort to establish a just division of the
day : "Eight hours for work; eight hours for
sleep; eight hours for what you will."
Demand the label of the International Cigar-
makers' Union when buying cigars!
The address of Fraternal Delegate Mosses
to the recent convention of the American Fed-
eration of Labor, which is published in full in
this issue of the Journal, is well worth the
space devoted to it, on account of its compre-
hensive treatment of the labor movement in
Great Britain. In scope of detail, lucidity of
presentation and general instructive n ess, Mr.
Mosses' address is a model of the art of saying
much in few words. The addresses of the fra-
ternal delegates to the American Federation
of Labor conventions have usually been noted
for effusiveness of sentiment, rather than for
anything of value in the study of labor condi-
tions abroad. In contrast with this rule. Fra-
ternal Delegate Mosses has presented an array
of facts which of themselves afford a very
complete understanding of the state of organ-
ized labor, its experiences of the past and its
plans for the future. The observant reader
will note that every topic dealt with is pre-
sented in complete form, "boiled down," as
it were, so that the very essence or meat of
the matter is clearly perceptible. A careful pe-
rusal of the address will afford the reader
more real information on the subject dealt with
than can be obtained from volumes of the stuff
that is dished up in the ordinary channels of
public intelligence. We bespeak a study of Mr.
Mosses' address by our readers and congratu-
late that gentleman upon his very valuable
addition to the labor literature of the limes.
The Journal extends congratulations and
best wishes to the sixth annual convention of
the California State Federation of Labor,
which opened in Oakland on the 1st inst. The
State Federation has realized in a fair degree
the hopes indulged at the time of its establish-
ment and gives promise of continuing upon the
path marked out for it by its founders. That
path is an old one. narrow, thorny and uphill,
but still the only one that leads anywhere. In
every convention of the State Federation, as
in every gathering of organized labor, the
voice of the enthusiast and " progressivist "
is heard, beckoning the hosts of labor into
the pleasant fields of a labor elysium and on
to the "royal road" that, leads no man knows
whither. No doubt the siren chorus will be
heard again ; no doubt, too, the voice of reason
will prevail, as in the past, With trade-union-
ism for its compass and with trade-unionists
on the bridge and at the wheel, the future of
the State Federation is assured. Bon voyage!
Demand the union label on all products!
Evidently someone is reckoning without the
host! Recently the maritime and labor organ-
izations generally of the United States sub-
mitted to Congress a proposal for the estab-
lishment of a Marine Hospital in Alaska, for
the care of the fishermen who annually use the
waters of that locality. Now we learn that
the Treasury Department proposes to abolish
a large number of Marine Hospitals, and thus
to very materially cripple the entire service.
It will be interesting to note whether the
"plain duty" of humanity or the necessities
(?) of "economy" will prevail with the peo-
ple, or rather with their representatives in
Congress.
The most practical measure of Asiatic ex-
clusion is that applied to the products of these
undesirables. To be sure you're right, de-
mand the union label on all purchases. That
little symbol is the surest antidote for all kinds
of degrading labor conditions.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Exclude the Japs.
The Immigration Conference of the Na-
tional Civic Federation has met and adjourn-
ed, and according to local press dispatches
two delegates to the conference, both editors
— one white and one yellow — discussed the
problem of Mongolian immigration. It ap-
pears that the yellow editor was the favorite,
as he expressed the views and sentiments of
the vast majority at that plutocratic gather-
ing.
The sum total of the sentiments expressed
at the Civic Federation conference was un-
doubtedly favorable toward the Chinese, and
admitting that fact, we may as well confess
that there can be no hope for the passage of
the Japanese and Korean bill at this session
of Congress and possibly not for many ses-
sions to come.
The people of the Pacific Coast States
should be acquainted with the aforesaid facts,
not in order to dishearten them, but to urge
upon them the advisability of taking individ-
ual action. It is estimated that from twelve
to fifteen thousand Japanese have landed in
Pacific Coast ports during the past year.
During that time Japan was engaged in the
greatest war of modern times. The war is
over, fully three-quarters of a million of sol-
diers have returned to Japan and have been
discharged or will be discharged within a
short time, and a great many thousands will
find themselves among the unemployed.
Many of the steamers that were used as trans-
ports during the Avar have been put in the
trans-pacific trade, carrying passengers and
merchandise. From these facts we may con-
clude that Japanese emigration will be doubled
and possibly trebled in this year. The future
Japanese immigrants to this country will be
veteran soldiers. And if it takes as long to
pass a Japanese Exclusion law as it did to pass
the law excluding Chinese, we will have an
army of ex-Japanese soldiers in the Pacific
States.
Japanese do not come to the United States
as colonists. They do not cultivate wild and
unreclaimed lands. They come here to be em-
ployed at some work that formerly was done
by someone else. They are coming over here
to be employed. If we do not employ them,
they would not come, and if they did come,
and we did not employ them, they would be
only too glad to go back again. The blame
is at the door of the employers. As the em-
ployer, we will immediately recognize the
man who employs labor, but the fact of the
matter is, that the one who purchases for self
or family consumption is the real employer.
If he did not purchase goods made by Asiatics,
the factory would not turn a wheel.
In San Francisco are several hundred Jap-
anese shoe-repairing shops. Those who own
and operate factories, conduct and own stores
and other kinds of businesses do not get their
shoes repaired by these aforementioned shoe-
repairers.
In San Francisco are also several hundred
Asiatic garment workers, making overalls and
hickory shirts. Now these articles of wear
are not used by any other people but those
who work. The same is true of restaurants.
The same is also true of nearly all places where
Asiatics are employed.
We can exclude all Asiatics without the Act
of Congress by simply refusing to patronize
those who employ and insist in employing
them. Our most effective weapon in this
struggle is the Union Label. That emblem of
fairplay is not, will not, and can not be
found upon any Asiatic product.

Australian Notes.
(For the Coast Seamen's Journal.)
The Trades' Union Label bill is being
fought very strenuously, both by the capital-
ists and their yellow press. One of the bitter-
est opponents to the bill, Joe Cook, was but a
few years ago the secretary of a miners'
union, who climbed into the Legislature on
their backs as a Labor member. He turned
rat, and is now known as the Deputy Leader
of the Opposition.
Work is still brisk on the water-front. The
Coal Lumpers' case has just been finished in
the Arbitration Court, but the judge has not
given his award as yet. It is feared that as
the workers are going to the wall with this
newly-appointed gentleman, the verdict will
be for the sweater or capitalist. I think it is
a true saying that the good people either leave
or die young. This applies to Judge Cohen,
whose decisions in the court were always ac-
cepted by the workers without complaint, be-
cause some unions got the benefit. Now the
capitalists get it.
The investigation of the land frauds is still
dragging along, but I question if we will see
much come out of it, as those concerned are
limbs of the law, or politicians, and it was the
Labor members who brought the matter to
light.
We have had splendid rain for the last
week, and the week before we had abundance
of bush fires, so that you can readily under-
stand things are lovely here — just good
enough to let a person know he is alive.
Our Political and Trade-Union Conference
takes place here next month, and promises to
be the most important one since the establish-
ment of the Labor party.
Motor-boat building is now becoming quite
an industry here, and there is no doubt that
some of the little vessels are a credit to the
builders, not only in appearance but also in
speed.
J. D. Spreckels, it is stated, is about to build
a large sugar refinery here. I hope it is true,
as the concern now doing business in Australia
is a huge monopoly, as bad, if not worse, than
the Tobacco Trust.

Gold in Madagascar.
Consul Hunt, of Tamatave, writes that
there are bright prospects of gold being
found in fairly large quantities in Madagas-
car. He says the exports of gold in 1903 and
1904 amounted to 4,211 and 5,423 pounds,
respectively. The gold output of 1905 was
5,521.5 pounds, valued at $1,477,500. Quite
a large number of persons are prospecting for
gold, but most of them are men who have had
little experience in prospecting. What is
needed is experts. Gold dirt has been found
that yields $34.70 per metric ton (2,200
pounds). Cold-bearing reefs and alluvial de-
posits have been found in various parts of the
island. Some have attracted a great deal of
attention.
More than 10,000 photographs of birds amid
their natural surroundings have been taken
by an English naturalist. Some of them en-
tailed as much as a week of .waiting and
watching.

The American Ship Building Company has
secured orders for twenty-eighl new steel
freighters for 1906 delivery. This sneaks well
for the commerce of the Lakes and the confi-
dence of business men.
Ore Sales for 1900.
Ore sales made by Cleveland companies for
delivery next year reach a valuation of aimed
$115,000,000. This means that fully 96 per
cenl of next season's ore business has already
been transacted, about .".2.51111.(100 of the 34,-
000,000 tons, the limit of production of the
Lake Superior region, being contracted for.
So large an advance sale has not been recorded
here in many years.
The sales made are divided into two classes.
i me includes the sales by the strictly merchant
furnaces. The other comprises the sales to
their own companies by the mines owned by
the various steel-making concerns.
Estimates made by reliable authorities —
members of the ore association are that the
merchant furnaces have sohl 1 5.(101). I KID tons of
ore already, and thai the mines owned by the
big steel companies have arranged to ship be-
tween 17,000,000 Tind 18,000,000 tons. It is
said that the total movement next year will not
I 34,000,000 tons. Of this amount about
32,500,000 tons have already been arranged
for.
There is a demand for more ore than al-
ready lias been shipped, but an investigation
develops the fact that with present facilities
the in i nes in the hake Superior region are pro-
ducing up to the limit of their capacity.
Changes made during the winter will not in-
i rease the output by more than a million tons.
The fmures for i],js year's shipments show that
the total production of the hake Superior ter-
ritory is short of 34,000,000 tons. Next year
the amount may be a little more than that, but
no) much.
The figures show that the United States
steel Corporation is producing about ^~> per
cent of the ore in the hake Superior territory.
Other steel companies, such as Jones & Laugh-
i in and the Cambria Steel Company, produce
about 5 per cent of the total. This leaves to
the merchant furnaces, so called, about 40 per
cent of the ore in the Lake Superior terri-
tory.
The sales of the merchant furnaces, mostly
Cleveland concerns, have already amounted to
about $40,000,000. The value of the ore which
the steel companies are arranging to ship is
upwards of $75,000,000. When all of the ore
is brought down it will have a value at present
market prices of over $115,0(10.(1(10.
W. H. Becker, who recently placed an order
with the American Shipbuilding Company for
a new 7,500-ton steamer, lias signed the con-
Iract for another one. tl id to be a dupli-
cate of the first except as to size, one being
four feet shorter than the other. The capacity
of I In1 second will be from 6,500 to 7,000 tons.
The fact that one order has so closely followed
the other is significant of a new condition in
marine circles. The new boat, which will be
named after Joshua W. Rhodes, of Pittsburg,
one of the country's prominent iron trade men,
will be 436 feet over all, 416 feet keel, 50 feet
beam and 28 feet deep, hike the W. Q-. Pol-
lock, she will be of arch construction, and will
have triple expansion engines 22-35-58x40
inch stroke, with working steam pressure of
170 pounds. She will also be lifted with Ellis
and Eaves induced draft, and she will have
two Scotch boilers 13 feet 2 inches in diameter
and 11 feet 6 inches h i
Shipyards "Will Be Busy.
Reports from Duluth indicate that the re-
cent storm on Lake Superior will keep the
shipyards force at Superior busy for some
time in repairing the boats which were dam-
aged. The steamer Frank Rockefeller, which
went on Isle Royale several weeks ago, is now
in drydock for repairs to sixty plates and 150
frames. She will be followed by the steamer
in Star, which stranded near Ontona-
gon. Her repairs will be confined to the bot-
tom, and it is not thought they will amount
to much, as she went on easy and was out of all
the had weather.
The EawgOod steamer I Iransford. which
struck Isle Royale in crossing the hake to
Duluth. is in the other drydock for repairs to
twenty-one plates. She will he followed by the
steamer R. W. England, which went on the
beach at Minnesota Point. Her damages will
not he definitely known till she is docked, but
they are expected to be extensive.
The steamer Ellwood, one of the Steel Trust
boats, which hit the piers in putting hack to
the Duluth harbor, has been lightered of 2.500
tons of her ore cargo so that her starboard side
is out enough to put on temporary repairs
where ghe was damaged. She will he able to
bring the balance of her cargo, 4,500 tons.
down in the spring.
The steamer W. E. Corey is expected to go
in drydock after the Bransford or England
comes out. Her long rest on (lull Island has
made it certain that her damages will he ex-
tensive, but her bilge tanks are full of water,
and it will be impossible to fully ascertain just
wdiat repairs will he necessary till she is put in
dock. The damaged and broken plates, it is
thought, are confined to her outer bottom.
The Crescent City, on the rocks about, nine
miles from Duluth on the north shore, is sched-
uled for release, and the drydock after the
Corey. Alter she is completed the steamers
Edenborn and Mataafa and the barge Manila
will be brought to Superior for repairs. The
steamer Lafayette and barge Madeira are con-
sidered total losses.
'National Seamen's Home.'
In the issue id' the JOURNAL for December
12 appears the report of the Committee on the
"National Seamen's Home." All members
should study that report in detail, as they will
be required to vote on the question during the
coming year. Members should be thoroughly
posted on the matter of cost. etc. The first
assessment — lo per cent of the treasury of all
affiliated unions — will cost the hake Seamen's
Union somewhere between six and seven thous-
and dollars as our share. Then, on January 1
will begin an assessment of lo cents per mem-
ber per month. In other words, from January
1, 1907, dues will be 70 cents per month. It
will cost that and more to maintain the
"Home," but it is worth it. Comrades, let's
all work for tin establishment of the

Lakes.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Marine Notes.
The steamer Win. A. Paine will winter at
Lorain.
The Harold B. Nye recently unloaded 230,-
000 bushels of flaxseed at Buffalo.
The Bay City (Mich.) shipyards now em-
ploy 700 men, and the payroll foots up $2,000
daily.
The steamer Raleigh was the last vessel up
from Lake Erie. She took coal to Lake Michi-
gan.
Thomas J. McCoy has been temporarily
elected Agent at Ashtabula, O., vice F. Ben-
son, resigned.
President Wallace, General Manager Logan
and General Superintendent Jeffrey inspected
the Bay City shipyards recently, on their way
back from Duluth, where Mr. Wallace closed a
deal with the Pittsburg Steamship Company
and the Cambria Steel Company for four new
steamers.
The new Gilchrist freighters are 534 feet
over all, 514 feet on the keel, 54 feet beam and
31 feet deep. Names have not yet been select-
ed for either one of them. The keel for the
big Mills boat will be laid after the first Gil-
christ boat is launched. It is for May 15,
1 906, delivery.
The first of the two 10,000-ton class freight-
ers building at the American Shipbuilding
Company yards for the Gilchrist Transporta-
tion Company, was launched on December 23.
The second will be launched probably a month
or six weeks later. Work on the 569-footer to
be built for the Mills interests of Tonawanda,
follows the launch of the first Gilchrist boat.
A case has recently been decided before
Judge Holt, in the United States District
Court, in the case of Caesar Gallanzo vs. the
Ward Steamship Company. Gallanzo was in-
jured on the steamer Yucatan, while at work in
the hold, by a boiler rolling against and crush-
ing him. He sued for .$20,000, and was
awarded support for fifteen years, that being
the time estimated for his full recovery.
Fred Benson, Agent of the Lake Seamen's
Union at Ashtabula Harbor, has resigned. He
has been elected General Organizer of the In-
ternational Seamen's Union of America, with
headquarters in New York City. He will have
full charge of organizing the Atlantic Coast.
It is with profound regret that his many
friends see him leave the Lakes, but he carries
with him their heartiest good will and best
wishes for his success.
The whaleback barge Bath (formerly the
Joseph Whitworth), in tow of the steamer
Bayview (formerly the steamer A. D. Thomp-
son), which was sent to salt water by the
Bontel Company, which purchased both from
the Pittsburg Steamship Company, broke
away from her tow-boat off Winter Quarter
Shoal, near Cape Charles, during the terrific
gale that swept the Atlantic Coast on Decem-
ber 19-20. The barge has not been found.
Some idea of the amount of business the
American Shipbuilding Company has on hand
for next year can be found in the statement
of General Manager Logan that the Bay City
shipyards will undoubtedly be kept running
all of next year. In times gone by the yards
have been shut down, for a time at least, when
the busy season was over. As it is now, there
is another boat scheduled for construction
there, in addition to the ones now building.
Coal receipts at Ashland, Wis., during the
season of 1905 were 60,000 tons heavier than
in 1904, amounting to 397,552 tons. Ore ship-
ments reached the second highest point in his-
tory, there being 3,485,344 tons shipped
as against 2,226,000 tons last season. The
record is held by the year 19012 when 3,553,000
tons were shipped. Lumber shipments fell
nearly 20 per cent under last year, a total of
90,500,000 feet being shipped in 1905.
The passenger steamer ArgO, which went
ashore at Holland, Mich., lias not been releas-
ed, and it is probable that she will not be dur-
ing the winter. It will be remembered that Life
Saver Robert Smith proved himself a hero at
this wreck. The Life-Saving crew goi a line
< 'ii board, but none of l he Argo'a crew knew
how to handle the breeches buoy. A line was
thrown from the vessel to the Life-Savers'
boat, and Robert Smith allowed himself to be
dragged through the seas to the vessel, where
he succeeded in rescuing the passengers and
crew.
Hawgood & Son have contracted for an-
other monster freighter. She will be built by
the American Ship Building Company. Her
dimensions will be 552 feet over all, 532 feel
keel, 56 feet beam and 31 feet deep. She will
have triple expansion engines and Scotch boil-
ers, and Avill have a carrying capacity of 11,-
000 tons. This will make two 11,000-ton and
one 10,000-ton steamers which Mr. Hawgood
will bring out next season, making thirty-one
new vessels which the American Shipbuilding
Company has secured contract for during the
last nine months, i. e., twenty-nine hulk
freighters and two Rutland Line package
freighters.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
Our Annual Greeting.
Willi this issue of the Journal the Atlantic
Department enters upon its third year. The
writer thanks those friends whose approval (if
his work has made it even more profitable, in
an educational sense, to himself than to his
readers, and hespeaks their continued good-
will. It goes without saying that he will hon-
estly endeavor, hereafter as in the past, to de-
serve whatever measure of approbation the
readers of this department may vouchsafe
him. In writing, however, even more than in
speaking, it is of course true, as some one has
observed, that one-half of the words we use
are largely for the purpose of toning down
and smoothing the rough edges of the other
half; but our civilization would lie a sorry
thing indeed did we not practice those little
amenities of locution which do so much to pro-
mote good humor and cordiality among men,
without which life would not he worth living.
Union Items.
At the regular weekly meeting of the New
'Voile Central Federated Union, on December
17. a delegate from the "International Long-
shoremen, Marine and Transport Workers'
Association,'' presented his credentials and
requested to be seated. On motion his creden-
tials were referred to the Building Trades
Section of the Federation. At the following
meeting of the Building Trades Section, Au-
gust Gildemeister, agent of the New York
branch of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union,
protested against the seating of the delegate
from the "International Longshoremen, Ma-
rine and Transport AVorkers' Association,"
upon the ground that the American Federa-
tion of Labor has enjoined the said organiza-
tion to discontinue the use of the appellation
'M;i rine and Transport Workers," and to
style itself simply the International Long-
shoremen's Association. On motion the cre-
dentials of the delegate from the "Interna-
tional Longshoremen, Marine and Transport
Workers' Association" were returned to him,
with the information that until his organiza-
tion has complied with the injunction of the
American Federation of Labor to discontinue
the use of the appellation "Marine and Trans-
port Workers," its credentials will not be rec-
ognized by the Building Trades Section.
The New York opera singers and chorus
girls have organized the Opera Singers'
Union, Local No. 14, of the Actors' National
Protective Union. The New York ballet
dancers are also organizing under the auspices
of the American Federation of Labor. Mass
meetings are being held, and the prospect of
having an organization of their own is hailed
with much enthusiasm by the girls.
The higher the average of intelligence
among a given class of men, the readier
they will be to combine for mutual protection
and benefit. Lunatics never combine for any
purpose whatsoever; that is why a great
crowd of them is easily managed by one keep-
er— just like the citizens of a great city are
managed by one boss in control of a well-
organized political machine. Great is the
power of organization, grreater even than was
Diana of Ephesus.

Similes of speech backed up by similes of

The fineness of a man's moral fibre is al-
ways in exact ratio to his ideals of abstract
goodness. Hence, it is that a broadminded
sinner is invariably more lovable than a nar-

About the only "inalienable right" which
most of us have is the right to ' ' growl ' ' about
things in general, and our political bosses in
particular. But, as the Forecastle Philoso-
pher hath it, "growl you may, but go you
must."
Congressman Bourke Cockran recently said
that he did not believe that as society is or-
ganized to-day it would be possible to im-
prison any man who possesses a fortune of
ten million dollars. Considering that this
statement was made right on the floor of the
House of Representatives by one of its own
members, it is, perhaps, the severest arraign-
ment of our bogus civilization yet made.
It is rather perplexing to the plain citizen
to note that those newspapers which most pro-
fess to be the "champions of the plain peo-
ple" do the most deferential gushing over the
sayings and doings of our "prominent citi-
zens." Laura Jean Libbey never idealized an
aristocratic multi-millionaire more than do
some of these "champions of the plain peo-
ple."
If the present insurance investigations have
made any one point clearer than another, it is
that the presidents of the great insurance
companies receive such tremendous salaries,
not because of their skill in serving the policy-
holders, but because of their skill in swindling
the latter for the benefit of a few of our most
highly respected citizens. And yet we rate
ourselves the most moral people on earth !

tions to be sent to Congress protesting

Atherton Brownell, in a magazine ar-
ticle, criticises the alleged shortcomings
of American rule in the Philippines, de-
claring that much work of the Govern-
ment is superfluous, that practical edu-
cation is lacking, that friendly natives

The Conestoga Traction Company,
which owns or controls the entire trolley

clare, means that every big building in
course of construction in New York and

pervising Inspector General of the Steam-
boat Inspection Service, George Uhler ex-
presses considerable anxiety regarding
present practices of carrying crude pe-
troleum in passenger steamers in quanti
ties winch jeopardize the safety of the
ship and passengers. Much of this oil,
ho said, is so highly inflammable that it
will flash at the ordinary summer tem-
perature of the atmosphere. Uhler sug-
gests that prohibition lie placed on the
use of oil which will flash at less than
140 degrees.

plants, which to the outsider seems a
healthy sign.

New York City on December 27, a final

A protest is to be made by the Cigar-
makers' Unions to Congress against a
hill now before the House to change the
tariff law in reference to exports from the
Philippines. Among other things, the bill
provides that 25 per cent of the duties,
now imposed on cigars brought from the
Philippines, shall prevail until 1909, when
tie- tariff shall be altogether abolished.
At a recent meeting of the Labor Conn

in his annual report, made public on
December 28, first. Assistant Postmaster-
General Hitchcock says that the low sal-
aries paid clerks in first and second
class postoffices is decreasing the stand-
ard of efficiency. It is impossible, he
says, to induce efficient men to enter this
branch of the service when the salary, to
begin with, is but $600 a year, with no
certainty of promotion for perhaps

THE SPEECH THAT WAS HISSED.
Address To Immigration Conference.
By W. Macartlwir, at New YorR, December 8, 1905.
THE CHAIRMAN: The next speaker is the rep-
resentative of the Japanese and Korean Exclu-
sion League of the Pacific Coast, and is also, I
understand, the representative of organized labor in
that section of the country.
Mr. Walter Macarthur: Mr. President and Gen-
tlemen of the Conference — What may not be an im-
portant correction, but I will make it at any rate,
is that, in addition to the long list of titles append-
ed to my name and noted by the presiding officer
in introducing me, I am also a representative of the
State of California, delegated along with others by
the Governor of that State to represent it upon this
platform at this time.
As far as the question of Chinese exclusion or
Asiatic immigration is concerned, there are ne
"labor" men nor "capital" men in the State of
California. We are all exclusionists, without excep-
tion. This subject is an interesting one to those
who hear of it for the first time. You like to de-
bate it, and it may be called a debatable question in
New York City, and possibly in other sections of the
East. But as far as the Western section of the
United States is concerned, it has ceased to be a de-
batable proposition. The question has been debated
there for twenty or thirty years, debated not only
with the weapons of logic and reason but with weap-
ons of a more forcible character. And it has been
settled for good. Chinese exclusion is a fact, and it
is a fact that has come to stay.
We are glad to be with you, to discuss this ques-
tion with vou, to hear your views and to present our
own, and we feel confident that in the summing up
vou gentlemen will agree with us. If we can not con-
vince you by the force of our example and the force
of our reasoning power that our attitude upon the
question of Asiatic immigration is the correct one,
then we are confident that you will be convinced by
other means, if, peradventure, the sentiment in the
East should favor Asiatic immigration. Should you
determine that Asiatic immigration in a modified
form is a good tiling, then it is only a question of
time when you will have enough of it here to con-
vince you of the error of your ways, so that ulti-
mately you will be bound to agree with us on this
question.
I presume that, as intelligent men, you will pre-
fer to take time by the forelock, to anticipate any
evil results that m*ight flow from Asiatic immigra-
tion, to take the word of the people of the West tw-
it, and agree with its to stand solidly and immovably
for the maintenance of Chinese exclusion and tor the
extension of that policy, so far as the same may be
necessary, to protect the people of the West from the
people of the Orient .
Mr. President, I am not going to read you a
speech, but I desire to have something inserted in
the records of the conference, which will convey the
sentiments of the people whom I represen more com
prehenshely than it is possible for me to do upon
this platform, and I would therefore request the
privilege of submitting these documents for inclu-
sion in the records of this conference. (So saying,
Mr Macarthur produced some papers.)
The Chairman: Gentlemen of the Conference, you
hear the request of Mr. Macarthur that he be per-
mitted to have published in the proceedings of the
conference certain papers here which he submits.
Is there any objection to the request? The chair
hears none.
(Cries of "Objection" were heard from all parts
of the house.)
A Voice: Let us know what they are.
Lieutenant-Governor West (Georgia) : Mr. Chair-
man, the great trouble about the insertion of that
in any record here would be that the conference does
not know what it is.
The Chairman: Mr. Macarthur prefers to with-
draw the request.
Mr. Macarthur: I was under the impression, gen-
tlemen, that that course would be permissible, that
it would be acceptable as a matter of course. I have
not been attending these sessions during the last two
days. I just arrived in New York City this morn-
ing, and am unacquainted with the method of pro-
cedure of the conference. Had I known there was
likely to be any objection, I certainly should not
have made the proposal. I am just as well satisfied
to withhold the matter, and to content myself with
such presentation of the subject as I am able to make
at this time.
The discussion of the subject up to this time has
been confined, so far as I can learn, to the Chinese
phase of the question. There is another phase of
that question which is equally and in fact more im-
portant than the Chinese phase, and that is the Jap-
anese and Korean question. The people of the West,
stand not only for the literal, strict maintenance of
the Chinese Exclusion Act, but for the extension of
the provisions of that Act so as to exclude Japanese
and Korean labor. We take that position because
all that may be said against Chinese labor, all the
objections that may be raised to Chinese labor, apply
with equal and with added force in the case of the
Japanese and Koreans. We object to these classes
of labor upon three general grounds, upon the racial
ground, the economic ground and the political ground.
We object to the Asiatic laborer, whether Chinese
or Japanese, because he comes from a different and
an unassimilable race, because he comes from the
Mongolian as opposed to the Caucasian race. We
regard this problem as a problem of race preserva-
tion. We object to these classes of labor upon the
economic ground, because they tend to undermine, and
do, as a matter of fact, undermine the standard of
living to which the American laborer is accustomed,
and which he desires to maintain.
We object to the Asiatic upon the political ground,
Upon the main ground that, being incapable of be-
coming a citizen of the United States, he is a stand-
ing menace to the perpetuity of our political insti-
tutions. We can not afford to have in the United
States a class of labor permanently proscribed, per-
manently denied political rights, berause, after all,
gentlemen, it is upon the laborer and upon the e\or-
,-ise by the laborer of political freedom that the
whole superstructure of our Government rests. To
the extent that the laborer is denied the right to
participate in t ly> political affairs of the nation you
endanger and undermine the political institutions of
the nation. (Applause.)
In the .State of California and other Slates of the
Onion on the Pacific Coast, the Chinese and the Jap-
anese have driven the white man oil' the soil. Thej
have driven the white man out of certain industries,
not only the laboring man bid the business man.
Tn some sections of California they are establishing
banks and driving the bankers out of business. It
is not simply a question of protecting labor, gentle-
men; it is a question of protecting all classes of men.
Just as sure as the Japanese are permitted to come
in here without let or hindrance, they will drive us
all across the Rocky Mountains.
Now, I desire to answer some of the statements
that have been made by the previous speakers. One
gentleman, in speaking of the inception of the agita-
tion against the Chinese, said that it was brought,
about by Denis Kearny and the ' ' sandlotters. ' ' Now,
that is a familiar expression. We have all heard
it before. It is customary when one lacks a good
argument in favor of permitting Chinese immigra-
tion to ascribe the hostility to the Chinese to the
"sandlotters." It may be that at one time in tin-
State of California the sentiment against the Chinese
was confined to certain classes, and it may be that
certain men made use of that sentiment to further
their own peculiar and personal interests. But at.
the present time all of the people of California are
"sandlotters," and I have the honor of being one of
them myself. Tn the State of California, in the
Japanese and Korean Exclusion League and in other
associated bodies and fraternal organizations, men
of all political complexions and in all spheres of
society are represented in the exclusion movement.
So that it is no longer a matter of prejudice on the
part of a certain class of people.
It was said by the same gentleman that the Asiatic
does not intend to become a citizen. He is desirous
of returning to his own country. Then he asks: "Do
we wish him (the Asiatic) to do the work which we
ourselves do not wish to do?" Now, gentlemen, let
me suggest seriously to your minds that that is the
most vicious, most dangerous proposition that could
possibly be made in this connection. I contend
that the idea that we should sit here, a body of in-
telligent men, American citizens, standing hero for
equality of all classes, and seriously consider a prop-
osition of bringing into this country men who are to
be confined to certain so-called menial classes of
labor, is repugnant to a proper spirit of manhood
and opposed to a proper conception of American
institutions.
For my own part, I do not wish any man to come
into this country to do any work that I myself am
not prepared to do. For my own part, 1 regard all
classes of work as equally honorable. The man who
drives the pick in a trench is equally honorable with
the gentleman who drives the quill in a counting-
room. I trust, gentlemen, that you will not consider
that demagogy. That, in my judgment, is good
Americanism, nothing more nor less. The idea that,
we should invite a coolie race here, to come and do
certain work, conveys the impression that certain
classes of labor are to be enslaved in this count ry
and that certain (lasses of labor are undesirable.
Now, if you are going to accept that II ry, you
must moilify your views concerning our entire insti-
tutions, the institutions upon which the American
nation is founded.
The gentleman BdyB that this nation must be a
missionary nation. That is to say, ire must invite
the Chinese over here to Convert them. Well, that
would be all right, but the trouble is that the boot
is on the other lee/. The Chinaman comes here and
Converts us. It is the Chinaman who is doing tin-
missionary work, and not fin- American. And just.
ill proportion as the Chinese and Japanese ami
Koreans come i"i" this country they demoralize
American sentiment and destroy the ideals of Ameri-
can manhoo I and \ mei ican womanhood.
Nov,, I come to note a t> w of the expressions
male by my friend, Mr. Chew, of California. I am
pleased to n t Ihe gentleman. I have had the honor
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
of meeting him in California, and 1 am pleased to
■ him here and to congratulate him upon the fact
that as the editor of a Chinese newspaper lie seems
to be able to do more than most editors of American
newspapers in California can do, namely, travel from
one end of the country to the other for the express
purpose of explaining his views on this ques-
tion. If we eould get all of the California editors
here they would make a very bold array, but, fortu-
|y ilr unfortunately, as the ease may be, they
lire all busy at home attending to their business.
(At this point the speaker was interrupted by
hisses from all parts of the room.)
Air. (hew Bays: ' Who dares to say that China will
not be able to protect her rights in the future?" Tt
lias been assumed in certain quarters that we were
rn forcing the Chinese Exclusion Act because China
was not able to insist upon a recognition of her
equality with the other nations. It is now hinted
that that time and that condition are passing, and
thai the day is mar when China will be able to pro-
tect herself, will tie able to compel the United States
to throw down the bars and admit the Chinaman
upon the basis of equality with other nations.
Now, you can clearly see the suggestion. I am a
man of peace. The men of the West are men of peace.
We are pursuing a peaceful policy. \fe are pursuing
a peaceful policy in demanding the enforcement and
maintenance of the Chinese Exclusion Act and the
extension of that Act to the .laps and Koreans. We
are pursuing in that respect a policy designed to pre-
serve the peace between ourselves and other nations.
Unless that policy be .adopted, the peace will be
broken. It is a moral certainty, gentlemen, that the
time will eome, unless some restrictions are placed in
the way, when the people of the West will lie forced
to take a stand in defense of their birthright. When
that time comes they will take that stand, regardless
of the consequences to themselves or others. The
responsibility for whatever may follow will rest with
these who now occupy, or who may hereafter occupy,
an equivocal position upon this great question.
The question of enforcing and preserving the
right of the American upon American soil has been
id by arms in the past. There are certain sec-
tions on the Pacific Coast, Mr. Chairman and gen-
tlemen, in which there is not a single Chinaman. In
those sections, notably in Humboldt county, Cali-
fornia, and in Pierce county, Washington, large
areas of territory in those sections, some years ago
the white men. driven to desperate resort by the en-
croachments of the Chinese, simply eoralled the Chi-
nese in their respective localities, hired a ship and
shipped them off to other ports, telling them not to
come back agnin. And they haven't come back
again. (Here the gavel fell.)
Scandinavian Water Power.
According to Export, the organ of the Cen-
tral Union for Commercial Geography of Ger-

of water now going to waste over her falls
and in her rivers for electricity. Engineers
are in the hills making surveys, and capital is
getting ready for the call that is sure to come
just as soon as the surveys are completed.
The same may be said of Norway, where the
waters have shorter distances to run, but
often of tremendous volume. In Sweden the
power will be put to work in all manner of
mills; in Norway in the mines — iron and cop-
per. The movement in Norway is being back-
ed by foreign capitalists, particularly Ameri-
cans.

Bill StoKes, His Poem.
Looking over a file of the Coast Seamen's
JOURNAL, the writer came across an article
concerning the tribulations of the men who
wear the Army and Navy blue — the enlisted
men— the writer of the article says:
There are lots of saloons and restaurants where an
enlisted man can not get anything to eat or drink, his
uniform instead of commanding respect, is a bodge
of disgrace, and yet these are the men who in time of
war bear the brunt of the fighting.
'Tis true, and pity 'tis, 'tis true."
No one knows the truth better than he who
submits the following poem. Sixteen years
and a half he served his country, or imagines
he did, and for a reward was refused admis-
sion to the hall of a fraternal organization in
San Francisco because he was in uniform —
that was "way back" in 1868. A year or two
ago ;i sailor on the United States cruiser Bal-
timore was denied admission to Koster and
Bial's music hall, in New York City, because
he was dressed in his country's livery. The
incident called forth the following screed,
from a friend of the writer, by name Bill
Stokes.
The words have been slightly changed to
adapt it to the present conditions:
( >h what 's the use of mincing things, it 's plain
enough to as,
A sojer or a sailor now. ain't worth a Gol-
darned cuss;
An' when he jines the service, be it plainly
understood.
His name is most emphatically. Mud! Mud!
Mud !
For when the cannon's silent, and the eagle
is at rest,
And Dhole Sam's dominions with the sweets
o' peace are blessed ;
The slippered, smug civilian, sit t in " cosily to
hum,
Believes a sailor's oothin' but a Bum! Bum!
Bum !
Let Mary Ellen's mummer ketch you speakin'
with the lass,
An' Holy Moses! what a stream of insolence
and sass
She'll pelt you with an' welt you with, before
you can decamp.
The mildest name she gives you being Scamp!
Scamp ! Scamp!
We do not claim admission to the Patriarch-
angels' ball,
But when they bar an entrance to a bloomin'
music hall —
« > tempore ! I ) mores, it is time to make a kick ;
Such un-American treatment makes me Sick!
Sick! Sick!
But when the guns arc roar in' and the rock-
ets flash in air.
The enemy advancing and the midnight sky
aglare,
They quickly change the tune and shout, as to
the hills they scoot:
"Our battleships and boys in blue, let 'em
Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
When battle's waves are shattered by our sail-
or boys so true.
With turrets, guns and upper deck, adrip with
bloody dew :
Oh, then, we're valiant heroes, and they shake
us by the hand;
Thermopylae ain't in it. hoys: we're Grand!
< irand ! Grand !
To doubt their patriotic boasts, may seem a
grave affront,
But yet I can't help thinkin', taking all into
account,
Their "Hail Columbia!" "Boys in Blue!"
and all that other stuff,
An' love for poor old shell-backs, is but (iuff !
Guff! Guff!
An' furthermore, I lay it down as an estab-
lished fact,
Such treatment shows a woeful want o' hon-
esty an' tact;
An' leaves us sadly to infer, with all the fuss
they make,
The gnat American people is a Fake! Fake!

WrecKs of the Year.
A chart of the United Kingdom has been
compiled by the Royal National Lifeboat In-
stitution from statistics issued by the Board
of Trade in their latest Blue Book on tin sub-
ject, which contains the information and fig-
ures for the year ending June 3, 1903. On
the chart the spot where every serious ship-
ping casualty occurred is shown by a black
dot. and the precise position is also indicated
of each of the 285 lifeboats belonging to the
Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
The number of shipping casualties which
occurred on or near the coasts of Great Brit-
ain and Ireland during the year 1902-1903
was 4357 — an increase of 233 as compared
with the previous twelvemonth. Collisions-
alone were responsible for 1452 casualties,
and the number of cases of total loss and seri-
ous casualties reached 1290, an increase of 81
as compared with 1901-02. Of the 4357 cas-
ualties, 3906 befell British and Colonial ves-
sels and 451 foreign vessels, the former show-
bag an increase of 246, while the latter de-
creased by 13 as against the previous year.
As usual, the east coast of England had the
largest share of casualties — the total being
682. The numbers for other localities were
as follows: South coast 414; west coast of
England and Scotland and east coast of Ire-
land, 1216; north coast of Scotland. 147: cast
coast of Scotland. 157; and other parts. 289.
The number of lives lost as a result of the
casualties numbered 339, being a decrease of
288 as compared with the corresponding fig-
ures of the preceding year. Out of the total
of 4357 casualties life was lost in only 94
cases, a falling off of 35 as compared with
1901-02. Of the 339 lives lost, 232 were from
British and Colonial vessels and 107 from for-
eign vessels. The number lost in foundered
vessels was 78, in collisions 65, in stranded
vessels 114, in missing vessels 57, and in ex-
plosions, washed overboard, etc., 25. It is
noteworthy that during the year in question
only 9 passengers were lost, the remaining 330
consisting of officers and members of the crews
of the vessels.
During the last half-century no fewer than
31,160 persons perished from shipwreck on our
coasts, but this number, appalling though it
seems, would have been more than doubled
were it not for the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution, whose lifeboats during that peri-
ed rescued 34,547 lives. — London Graphic.

On the Atlantic Coast.

BreaKers Ahead.
A cable dispatch informs us that in London,
Eng., the ratio of paupers per 1,000 of popu-
lation has been higher in most of the months
of this year than in any previous year since
1874. Not only has there been a remarkable
increase in outdoor relief, but the increase in
the numbers entering workhouses has steadily
continued. In no year of the history of Lon-
don's Poor Law has the population in the
Avorkhouses been greater than during last De-
cember.
The London Express further informs us
that in the last few weeks hundreds of Rus-
sian Jews have landed penniless in London,
and that every steamer from the Continent
brings from twenty to thirty more of these
victims of Muscovite persecution. The more
fortunate among them usually find work in
some sweatshop, where they earn about five
shillings a week, which enables them to get
a lodging in some filthy, overcrowded garret
or cellar, where, may be, eight or ten men
sleep on old gunny sacks spread on the floor.
Black bread, a bit of pickled herring, and a
cup of bad tea is their food, "with a piece of
gherkin or cucumber as an occasional lux-
ury." The unlucky ones, who can find no
work, are going without food often for days
together. At night they roam the streets of
Whitechapel and Spitalfields, sleeping on
staircases and in doorways until they are
moved on by the police. Were it not for the
odd pennies which they receive from their
compatriots once in a while they would sore-
ly starve to death, for the world's metropolis
just now can not provide for its own paupers.
After centuries of so-called "civilization"
this is what England and most of the other
countries in Europe have come to, and it is
what must inevitably happen to this country
if we continue our present fatuous policy of
allowing our economic problems to "work
themselves out." At the present rate of in-
crease our population will by the middle of
this century be as dense as the population of
Europe now is, and as our economic institu-
tions are exactly the same as those in force
over there, it follows as surely as like causes
produce like effects that unless we change our
economic institutions so as to bring about a
more equitable distribution of wealth we must
inevitably gravitate toward the social condi-
tions now prevailing in Europe. The pauper-
ism of Europe to-day is clearly the fruit of
laws making the private monopoly of land the
foundation of society. Hence, if we desire to
escape the ghastly penury and pauperism of
European "civilization" we must reconstruct
our land laws so as to make private monopoly
of land impossible. The fairest and most
natural way to effect this reconstruction
would undoubtedly be along Single Tax lines.
Already we perceive the need for such recon-
struction, for much of the best land in the
United States is owned by syndicates and
multi-millionaires, who even now balk at pay-
ing the wages demanded by negroes and white
agricultural laborers. Instead, they openly
encourage the immigration of Japanese, and
secretly work for the modification or repeal of
the Chinese Exclusion Act, so that their land
may be cultivated by coolies. Although ours
is yet a young nation, as nations go, we al-
ready feel the results of this transplanted
"landlordism." Our cities are overcrowded
with men and women, forced to work for star-
vation wages, a considerable percentage of
these even being reduced to beggary and
prostitution. And all this because the "in-
exhaustible natural resources of the country,"
which our friends, the smug trust editors, are
wont to harp so much upon, have been monop-
olized by men and corporations who pay
wages on which it is impossible for human be-
ings to live and maintain a decent standard
of civilization! As the years roll by and our
population increases, it must be plain to even
the most dull-witted that as we are now pro-
gressing it is only a question of a relatively
short time when we must either revise our
land laws or enact poor laws similar to those
in Europe for the benefit of our paupers.
As bearing upon Shakespeare's dictum that
"consistency is a jewel," it is rather curious
to note that those highly moral people who
frown most severely upon gambling in all its
forms are usually the most strenuous expo-
nents of the theories of life that "there is
plenty of room at the top," and that "every
poor boy has a chance to become President of
the United States." With all due deference
to these superior persons, it would be inter-
esting to the "man with the hoe" to find out
how a state of society can benefit workingmen
as a class in which, as in a lottery, only an
odd man here and there can ever win the
"grand prize," and all the rest must from the
very nature of the game play the role of losers
all their lives. Does not the very chance of
the odd man to reach the top under present
conditions depend mainly upon the contin-
gency of the other players being forced out of
the game?
At the last regular meeting of the Central
Federated Union of New York, a committee of
five was appointed to co-operate with a well-
known firm of lawyers in drafting labor laws
to be submitted to the Legislature of the
State. Since the constitution of the State
has been amended to that effect, any labor
laws which the Legislature may enact here-
after can not be annulled by the courts on the
ground that they are "unconstitutional,"
which has been the usual fate of labor laws in
the State of New York in the past. The said
amendment was carried at the last election,
thanks to the unremitting persistency of or-
ganized labor throughout the State during
the campaign.
All the New York locals of the Bricklayers'
and Masons' International Union, with the ex-
ception of Local No. 37, have been suspended by
the International body for disobeying its or-
der requiring all members to work for any sub-
contractor who installs fire-proofing brick so
long as he pays union wages. The suspension
edict affects in all about 9,000 men, who arc
thereby debarred from all privileges depend-
ing upon their affiliation with the Internation-
al Union. This means that they can only worfc
in New York as their union cards will not be
recognized by the locals in other cities. It is
said to be the first time in twenty-four years
that the New York union bricklayers have beer
unconnected with the International body.
Strikes Analyzed.
The annual convention of the Economic and
Poitical Science Association opened at Balti-
more. Md., on December 28. To trade-union-
ists the most interesting address was that of
T. S. Adams, of the University of Wisconsin,
dealing with "strike violence." Mr. Adams'
address was in part as follows:
In thirty months 180 persons were killed, 1051 in-
jured and 5,533 arrested in strikes in the United
States. This showing is distressing enough — a single
innocent man beaten to death in the course of one
hundred years is an infinite outrage. But, compara-
tively speaking, strike violence is insignificant. More
lives are taken in lynching bees than in strikes, and in
an average year there are probably four times as many
arrests in Greater New York alone for assault anil
battery as in the whole United States for similar vio-
lence in strikes. The importance of strike violence is
the intimidation and coercion whose existence it re-
veals, and which almost invariably accompany strikes.
The law against intimidation and wrongful coercion
however, is not enforced, and this is largely due to
the fact that the law of conspiracy is unequal weigh-
ing more heavily upon the trade-unions than upon
employers, and penalizing acts which are easily dis-
covered when performed by large combinations of
workmen, but are utterly beyond detection when per-
formed by employers. This situation is intolerable
*or obvious reasons it can not be remedied by repeal
ing the law against boycotting, sympathetic strikes
and strikes against non-union men. It can not be
cured by the rigid enforcement of existing law be-
cause that would make the workingmen 's position un-
bearably unequal, and it can not be remedied by the
joint conference system, which is still in the experi-
mental stage, and must confirm, if introduced without
important modifications, the Closed Shop and other
monopolistic policies of trade-unionism. In the end
this may mean compulsory arbitration— arbitration
through methods and machinery which shall be con-
stitutional, American, and adapted to our general
social structure. As a people we have failed to realize
the possibilities of compulsory arbitration, largely be-
cause we have confined our attention too exclusively
to the New Zealand system.
Mr. Adams' quoted remarks are unusually
liberal in their tenor, considering their source;
but they are chiefly interesting to trade-un-
ionists as showing the workings of the academ-
ic mind upon a subject which it must neces-
sarily analyze at long range. As for Mr.
Adams' contention that "as a people we have
failed to realize the possibilities of compul-
sory arbitration," it is probably the other
way. It is just because as a people we realize
that compulsory arbitration can never become
"adapted to our general social structure" that
the advocates of that method of settling labor
disputes are in a hopeless minority. The la-
bor problem, like all other problems, can only
be intelligently solved by those who are most
interested in its solution ; that is, by those who
labor.
The New York Herald has just emerged
from the last throes of a fierce controversy
among its readers and contributors over the
merits and demerits of tea as a beverage. The
points established by the controversy beyond
dispute are, first, that tea is the most fragrant,
delicious and healthful of all the beverages
consumed by mankind; second, that ten is a
bum drink, only fit for old maids and China-
men; third, that tea is the most injurious
beverage in common use to-day, and the prime
cause of two-thirds of all the ills which flesh
is heir to. So there you are. fellow citizens and
tea-drinkers; pay your money and take your
choice.
If it were not, for the unquenchable tend-
ency of many persons to draw general con-
clusions from particular premises, the world
would lie too much matter of fact for the rest
of us to live in.

The vessel is being pumped out and it is expected that
she will be able to proceed ten- Osaka in a few days.
Latest news from the Orient regarding the recent
death of Captain .). Tremaine Smith, of the Pacific
Mail liner Siberia, is to Hie effect that Captain Smith
Committed suicide by cutting his throat witli a razor.
Despondency is ascribed as Hie cause.
The British steamer Restorer, in use by the Pacific
Commercial Cable Company as a repair ship, arrived
at San Francisco on Jan. 6, nine days from Honolulu,
where she had been since April 24. The Restorer will
be drydocked and repaired before sailing again.

of her class, with a capacity for carrying 750,000 feet
of lumber, and is the property of the Hammond Lum-
ber Company.
Short of provisions and with a foul bottom, the
schooner Metha Nelson put into San Francisco on

dividend, it is not believed that the total dividend
will be in excess of Hi per cent.
There is still no news from the overdue fishing
schooner Nellie Coleman, now sixty days out from
Unga Island. She is thought to have either gone down
or been blown far out, of her course in a gale on No-
vember 19. She had on board Captain Andrew John-
son and six others. She is owned by the Seattle and
Alaska Fish Company.
Captain Genereaux, marine underwriter, at Seattle,
Wash., states that tic wrecked steamer Portland can

that with the exception of one hole abaft the fore-
mast, the hull was practically uninjured. All the ore
has been taken out and everything of any value re-
ed. At low water the Portland is almost dry.
The American ship Charles E. Moody, Captain Ras-
Fresh Water at Sea.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn
that there is at least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Ball's Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it tails to (aire. Send for list of testimonials.

That copious springs of fresh water occur
in the ocean is proved by the evidence of
travelers in the Pacific and the Wesl Indies,
ax well as in out- own Southern Slates. That
such springs are probably of more frequenl
occurrence than is generally supposed, is
argued front geological and other evidence lis
Prof. C. I). Hitchcock, of Dartmouth College.
who writes on the subject in the Popular Sci-
ence Monthly. He says:
The facts are not numerous, but are stated upon
the best authority. Prof. Joseph He Conic, in his
"Geology," says that fresh-water springs arise in the
ocean in the Hawaiian Islands. In reply to my inquiry
as to details, he wrote that he had not preserved the
memoranda relating to these phenomena, and that they
had escaped his memory. No one can doubt the cor-
rectness of the statement in view of the existence of
the proved underground waters. Powerful streams
discharge millions of gallons of water through the ar-
tificial openings very near the seashore. If not in-
tercepted, they must continue a considerable distance
out to sea, and hence must well up to the surface amid
saline billows.
Inquiry about these springs during the past summer
in the territory of Hawaii has resulted in the dis-
covery of several upon Oahu ; there is one off Diamond
Head, a second off Wailae. At the east end of Maui,
in Hana, there was a fortress named Kaimuke, occu-
pied by soldiers in the ancient times. As it was almost
an island, communication with the mainland was not
feasible in the time of siege, and for the lack of water
it could not have been held except for the presence of
submarine springs. The natives would dive down to
collect water in their calabashes, which supplied all the
wants of the garrison. Other springs were known in
the harbor of Hana, and at low tide at Lahaina. [Jpon
Hawadi I found there were fresh-water springs oil'
Kawadahae and Punaluu. Further inquiry would
doubtless discover many other examples.
That similar springs occur off the coast of
the Southern United States, both in the At-
lantic and the Gulf, appears from the follow-
ing facts, given by Professor Hitchcock fur-
ther on :
Statements made by residents claim the existence of
fresh-water springs miles away from the land opposite
St. Augustine, Matanzas, and Ormond. The first of
these is also mentioned by T. C. Mendenhall, formerly
superintendent of the United States Coast Survey, in
a letter to J. W. Gregory, in charge of Artesian Wells
Investigations, Department of Agriculture.
Mr. M. L. Fuller furnishes me with the following
additional localities. Dr. Mendenhall mentions the re-
ported occurrence of fr-esh-water springs off the mouth
of the Mississippi River. In "The Island of Cuba,"
by Lieut. A. S. Rowan and M. M. Ramsey (Henry Holt
& Co., 1896), page 18, it is stated that the water is
often forced by hydrostatic pressure to the surface
far out at sea. Elisee Reclus remarked that "in the
Jardines (east of the Isle of Pinos), so named from
the verdure-clad islets strewn like gardens amid the
blue waters, springs of fresh water bubble up from
the deep, tlowing probably in subterranean galleries
from the mainland."
Mr. Fuller also adds the following quotation from a
paper by himself upon the "Hydrology of Cuba," in
the Water Supply Paper No. 110, page 93: the springs
"issue at all altitudes, from the higher portions of the
hills down to the lowland border, or even at sea-level.
. . . Not all the water comes to the surface as
springs, but some passes outward and emerges from
the sea bottom along the coast, where in many in-
stances the fresh water can be seen bubbling up
through the salt water. Such springs occur in Havana
Harbor and at many other points. The fresh water
which surges as copious springs on some id' the keys is
probably of the same origin, coming from the main-
land through subterranean passages in the limestone.
Professor Hitchcock concludes that the
necessary conditions for the occurrence of
these sub-oceanic springs seem to He those
which will permit the existence of under-
ground streams flowing toward the sea ; such
its will render the boring of artesian wells
successful, lie says:
Evidently there must be strata whether id' the
later fossiliferous rocks or igneous sheets — dipping
gently seaward; and the springs can not appear \rr\
tar away from the coast. We should, therefore, look
for these phenomena adjacent to islands and all
coasts bordered by tertiary ami basaltic rocks. ThOJ
may be seen oil nearly the .nine eastern coast of the
United states — from (ape (oil to the Rio Grande.
Possibly also fresh water may be able to accumulate
beneath the submarine belt of tertiary between Nan
tucket and the Great Hanks of Newf Hand. If is
Conceivable that they might be utilized for the supply
of steamships in places tirhere tie' local supply is either
defective or unwholesome. — Literary Digest.

.THE HISSING EPISODE.
The editor of this paper is not addicted to
the vice of printing his own speeches, recog-
nizing as he does many weighty objections to
that course, one of which is that the said effu-
sions are not worth the space, as compared
with the results obtainable from a carefully
written presentation of the given subject. The
departure from this rule, made in the present
issue of the Journal, by the publication of
the "Speech That AVas Hissed," seems to be
justified by the peculiar circumstances of the
case. Judged by the rule previously referred
to, the speech in question, delivered to the
National Conference on Immigration, at Mad-
ison Square Garden, New York City, on De-
cember 8, is open to the general objection to
printing purely extempore matter. It isn't
much of a speech; on the contrary, we freely
admit that, considered from the oratorical
standpoint, it is a very crude and disjointed
utterance. The utmost that may be claimed
for the "Speech That Was Hissed" is that it
gives a fairly clear and definite idea of the
speaker's views, that, it is an honest and blunt
statement of the subject under discussion and
that it is couched in language that affords no
reasonable ground for a charge of impro-
priety. "Whatever else the speech may indi-
cate we leave to the judgment of its hearers
and readers.
The present publication of the speech is
due primarily to the fact that it is a bad
one, or at any rate was so regarded by the
audience to whom it was addressed, as evi-
denced by the fact that it was greeted by
''hisses from all parts of the room." The
press dispatches of December 9 informed the
country of the latter fact, without giving any
explanation other than to attribute to the
speaker language which he did not use, which
false reports were entirely unjustified by any-
thing that was actually said.' The "Speech
That Was Hissed" is now printed for the
benefit of those who desire to be correctly in-
formed concerning the episode. In passing it
may be said that the publication now made is
a literal copy of the official stenographer's
notes, neither "toned down*' nor "fixed up,"
but warm from the heart and raw from the
tongue — just as the reader might himself
have spoken, provided he is on the same side
as the speaker, and provided he isn't an ora-
tor and. is therefore unschooled in the art of
disguising the thought in words that may
mean anything or nothing, according to the
requirements of the case.
No extenuation or explanation of the speech
is here offered. The speech speaks I'm- itself
and must stand as its own defense. It is
up to the readers of the Journal to det er-
mine for themselves the justification, or other-
wise, of the hissing episode, to determine
whether the speaker exceeded the limits of
debate, or whether the audience exceeded the
limits of decency. That question should not
be difficult of solution. It is merely a ques-
tion of a speaker's right to be straightfor-
ward, rather than evasive or "diplomatic," if
he so chooses. In other words, it is a ques-
tion of the hearers' right to cry down a
speaker with whose views or manner they do
not agr< e.
We do not propose at this time to enter
upon a discussion of the attitude assumed by
the National Conference on Immigration on
the subject of Asiatic or other phase of the
immigration problem. The hissing episode,
of itself, affords a sufficient commentary upon
the action of the Conference, as indicating
the animus of the pro-Chinese resolutions
adopted by that gathering. A single ob-
servation will suffice for the present, namely,
that the man who was hissed by the New York
meeting while advocating the cause of the
American people, isn 't the first one who has
received similar treatment, in a similar cause
by a similar audience and in the same local-
ity. And he won't be the last.
Mr. Will J. French, President of the San
Francisco Labor Council, and until recently
President of San Francisco Typographical
Union No. 21 and of the Allied Printing
Trades Council of that city, will shortly cease
active participation in the labor movement, to
engage in business at Sacramento, Cal.
Brother French has rendered distinguished
service to organized labor, particularly as
President of the Labor Council, his conduct
of that office having been almost faultless and
a source of great admiration among the dele-
gates to that body. The regret of his asso-
ciates upon the loss of so valuable a co-worker
but increases the depth of their regard for
his future success. The Journal extends its
best wishes to Brother French. May he live
long and prosper!
Eecent important victories in the printers'
strike for the eight-hour day indicate the
early and complete success of that movement.
The employing printers are evidently mind-
ful of the Scriptural adage : ' ' He gives twice
who gives quickly." The more quickly the
employers concede the eight-hour day the less
money they will lose and the less hard feeling
they will engender. As the victor and the
vanquished shake hands and go to work the
labor movement utters a heartfelt, "Bless
you, my children!"
The Union Labor News, of Los Angeles,
Cal., announces the completion of its fifth
year of publication. The Journal congratu-
lates its contemporary upon the success
achieved by it and wishes it a long career of
prosperity in the cause which it so ably ad-
vocates.
THE FISHEiniHXS HOSPITAL.
The appeal of the organized fishermen and
other representatives of the fishing industry
for the establishment of a hospital in the
Bristol Bay region of Alaska has borne fruit
in the introduction of a bill in Congress, pro-
viding for such an institution, to he main-
tained out of the tax levied upon the Alaska
fisheries. That the need of a hospital for the
care of the Alaska fishermen during the sen-
son is widely recognized by those familiar
with the conditions of the industry is proved
by the general approval given the fishermen's
petition. The petition itself reads as follows:
PETITION
OF THE
SALMON PACKERS OF ALASKA, THE FISHER-
MEN S PROTECTIVE UNION OF THE PACIFIC
COAST AND ALASKA, AND OTHER AFFILI-
ATED ORGANIZATIONS.
'I'd the Secretary of the Interior,
Ethan- Ai.en Hitchcock,
Washington, D. < '.
Sir: — We, the undersigned, salmon packers and fish-
ermen engaged in the salmon fisheries of the Bristol
Bay region, Alaska, respectfully petition yon to unite
with us in the effort to obtain the establishment .if a
Government Hospital in the Bristol Bay region, in the
vicinity of the month of the Nuahagak River, ami we
submit the following facts to you for your considera-
tion:
First: That there are upwards of eight thousand
men employed in the business of salmon fishing and
canning each year, in the Bristol Bay region, and
there are nearly five hundred men, women and children
residing near the mouth of the Nushagak the year
round.
Second: During the season a great many of the men
employed receive injuries of a serious nature, which
require the attention of skilled physicians and sur-
geons. Even trifling cuts and scratches often be-
come infected in the handling of the fish, and death
from blood poisoning has too frequently ensued from
lack of proper treatment in such cases, and more
serious accidents are of almost every day incurrence.
For the treatment of all such accidents and other sick-
ness the men have had to rely in past years upon the
' ' rough and ready ' ' care of unskilled persons, except in
the case of certain fishing companies who provide for
proper medical attendance by the employment of phy-
sicians at their own expense.
The expense of maintaining a proper hospital could
not very well be borne by any one of the canning com-
panies, and even if one of the canneries were to estab-
lish a hospital, the difficulty of communication be-
tween the various plants would pi-event many of the
men at other places from receiving proper rare
The only feasible proposition for a Hospital is the
establishment of a Government Hospital at some cen-
tral point, such as at the mouth of the Nushagak, and
the maintenance of a Government launch service to
make the rounds of the various canneries at stated in-
tervals, tn take the sick and wounded men to the hos-
pital.
Third: As to the cost of building and maintaining
such a hospital, it is difficult at this time to make an
estimate. There should be a Chief Surgeon in charge,
an assistant, and several men nurses during the fishing
season, and at least one doctor and a nurse throughout
the year. After the initial expense of building, the
expense should not be more than ten thousand dollars
a year at most, and in this connection, it might not be
amiss to point out that this sum is a very small pro-
portion of the revenue obtained by the Government
from the tax on the salmon pack, which exceeds
seventy- five thousand dollars each year.
As it is extremely important for the welfare of all
who are engaged in the Alaska salmon business that
Such a hospital should be established before the be-
ginning of the next fishing season, and that the matter
should be presented to the coming session of Congress,
we address this somewhat brief memorandum of the
matter to you at the present time and earnestly request
that you give the matter your careful consideration,
and join with us in presenting the matter to the Con-
gress and the authorities at Washington this winter.
Any of the undersigned will be only too glad to sup-
plement this petition with any further information that
you may wish to have in regard to the matter.
This petition has received the signatures of
every canning company on the Pacific Coast.
Thus it may be said that the demand for the
establishment of a hospital is unanimous
among those acquainted with the conditions
of life on the fishing grounds. It is to be
hoped that the Kahn bill, now before Con-
gress, will be passed at an early date, so that
the hospital may be opened in time to be of
use during the coming season.
Asiatic Exclusion, like charity and a lot of
other things, should begin at home. Suppose
you, dear reader, begin by excluding the
Asiatic product from your list of purchases!

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Although the word "subsidy" has been en-
tirely eliminated from the latest Ship Subsidy
bill it is practically the same old bill under
a different name. The bill as introduced in
the Senate bears the following title:
"To promote the national defense, to cre-
ate a force of naval volunteers, to establish
American ocean mail liners to foreign mar-
kets, to promote commerce, and to provide rev-
enue from tonnage." That feature of the pro-
posed law in which seamen are particularly
interested is the one relating to naval volun-
teers. It is claimed that the bill in question,
if enacted into law, will create a force of
naval volunteers. Section 1 of the bill ex-
plains, in part, how that force is to be created.
The plan is to pay annually a stipulated
amount, varying from $15 to $100, to Amer-
ican seamen of all grades, from master down,
who are capable and willing to render service
as naval volunteers in time of war. Section
I reads as follows :
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States of America in Congress
assembled, that the Secretary of the Navy and the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor shall cause to be
made an enrollment of officers and men now and here-
after employed in the merchant marine and deep-sea
fisheries of the United States who may be capable of
rendering service as naval volunteers in time of war
and who are willing to undertake such service. No
man shall be thus enrolled who is not a citizen of the
United States or who has not declared his intention to
become a citizen. Any naval volunteer who, having
declared his intention to become a citizen, fails to
complete his naturalization, according to the provisions
of title thirty of the Revised Statutes, shall be stricken
from the rolls. These naval volunteers shall be en-
rolled for a period of three years, during which period
they shall be subject to render service on call of the
President in time of war. They shall also possess
such qualifications, receive such instruction, and be
subject to such regulations as the Secretary of the
Navy may prescribe. The Secretary of the Treasury
is hereby authorized and directed, upon proper audit,
to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not other-
wise appropriated, to each officer or seaman thus en-
rolled and employed in the merchant marine or in the
deep-sea fisheries, as hereinafter provided, an annual
retainer as follows: Tor each master or chief engineer
of a vessel of the United States of five thousand gross
tons or over, one hundred dollars ; for each master or
chief engineer of a vessel of the United States of one
thousand gross tons or over, but of less than five thou-
sand gross tons, eighty-five dollars ; for each master
or chief engineer of a vessel of the United States un-
der one thousand gross tons, seventy dollars; for each
mate or assistant engineer of a vessel of the United
States of five thousand gross tons or over, seventy
dollars; for each mate or assistant engineer of a ves-
sel of the United States of one thousand gross tons or
over, but of less than five thousand gross tons, fifty-
five dollars; for each mate or assistant engineer of a
vessel of the United States under one thousand gross
tons, forty dollars; for each seaman, twenty-five dol-
lars; for each boy, fifteen dollars. Such retainer shall
be paid at the end of each year of service on certifi-
cate by an officer, to be designated by the Secretary of
the Navy, that the naval volunteer has satisfactorily
complied with the regulations, and on certificate by the
Commissioner of Navigation that such volunteer has
served satisfactorily for at least six months of the
preceding twelve months on vessels of the United
States in the merchant marine or in the deep-sea
fisheries.
Section 2 provides for the payment of a
direct subsidy to American ships in the for-
eign trade or the deep-sea fisheries.
Section 3 states that no vessel shall re-
ceive the subsidy provided for in Section 2
unless the owners agree to fulfill various ob-
ligations, of which the following are the more
important :
Each vessel subsidized may be taken and used by the
United States in time of war upon payment to the
owner of the fair value of the vessel at the time of
the taking.
The vessel must also carry free of charge the mails
of the United States when required.
Upon each departure of the vessel from the United
States at least one-sixth of the crew shall be citizens
of the United States, or men who have declared their
intentions to become citizens, and of the deck force,
excluding licensed officers, at least one-half shall bo
able seamen, who are hereby defined to be men who
have had two years' or more experience at sea on
deck.
A vessel shall not be entitled to the subvention above
provided for, unless during the period of employment
in the foreign trade or deep-sea fisheries the following
proportions of the crew of the vessel after the dates
specified shall have been enrolled in the naval volun-
teers: After July first, nineteen hundred and eight,
one-eighth ; after July first, nineteen hundred and
twelve, one-sixth ; after July first, nineteen hundred
and seventeen, one-fourth: Provided, That if the fore-
going stated proportions of naval volunteers can not be
obtained at a foreign port with reasonable effort, as
certified by the consul, other persons may be substi-
tuted until the first return of said vessel to the United
States, without forfeiture of the subvention.
The remaining part of the bill deals with
additional subsidies to certain regular lines
of ocean mail steamers. The stipulations con-
tained in Section 3 of the bill apply also to
the vessels in the latter class. There is, how-
ever, one more section which is intended to
persuade American shipowners to carry boys
on their vessels. The section in question reads
as follows :
Sec. 9. That on proof to the satisfaction of the
Commissioner of Navigation that a vessel of the United
States has on any foreign voyage carried a boy or
boys, a citizen or citizens of the United States, under
twenty-one years of age, suitablj' trained during that
voyage in seamanship or engineering, in the proportion
of one for such vessel, and in addition one for each
one thousand tons of her net registered tonnage, there
shall be paid to the owner or owners of the vessel, out
of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropri-
ated, an allowance equivalent to eighty per centum of
the tonnage duties paid in respect of the entry in the
United States of that vessel from that voyage: Pro-
vided, That such payment shall not be made after .July
first, nineteen hundred and eight, except in respect of
any boy who is enrolled in the naval volunteers, or is
an apprentice indentured in accordance with law.
-As a whole, the proposed bill differs but
little from the previous subsidy schemes. The
advocates of a Ship Subsidy bill have at last
come to the conclusion that in order to have
their pet measure enacted into law they must
make it appear that the seamen themselves
will be part beneficiaries of the millions to be
distributed.
The "eminent statesmen" who are spon-
sors for the bill evidently have faith in that
old maxim: "Mundus vult decipi" (The
world wishes to be deceived).
It is needless to state that the organized
seamen of America can not be fooled with a
sugar-coated Subsidy bill. The recent con-
vention of the International Seamen's Union
of America, at Cleveland, O., reiterated the
stand taken by the organized seamen and or-
ganized labor generally in reference to ship
subsidies. The seamen of America do not ask
for special favors in the shape of retainers.
All that is asked by the seamen of this coun-
try is simple justice.
Mr. George Keeling and Mr. .Joseph Bred-
steen, of Eureka, Cal., were conspicuous
among the delegates to the recent convention
of the California State Federation of Labor.
Both gentlemen are noted for their valuable
services to the labor movement of Eureka,
Mr. Keeling being Secretary of the Federated
Trades Council, and Mr. Bredsteen editor of
the Labor News. In their respective ca-
pacities Brothers Keeling and Bredsteen are
closely associated with the members of the
Sailors' Union in the thriving northern sea-
port and have greatly aided the Sailors in
their work in that locality. The Journal
avails itself of the opportunity and pleasure
of personal acquaintance with these gentle-
men to thank them for the good offices ex-
tended, to bespeak a continuance thereof and
to assure them that the favor will be recipro-
cated whenever occasion offers.

The Death Roll.
One hundred and nineteen comrades died
during 1905, up to December 23rd. The
Journal correspondent lias endeavored to
give as nearly as possible the cause and place
of death, but this is not on record in all eases.
The unusually large, number of deaths from
shipwrecks (hiring the great storms of Sep-
tember, October and November will be noted.
A list of the comrades who lost their effects
will be forwarded later, also a statement of
benefits paid, etc. The moral of this long
list of deaths is easy to read : Keep your dues
paid up; insure for yourself at leasl a Christ-
ian burial, or, if shipwrecked, assure yourself
that you are in good standing and can obtain
the Shipwreck Benefit, so that you may again
provide yourself with the clothing which it is
imperative that you have if you would sail on
the Lakes. W. II. Jenkins.

Big Repair Bills.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer
the repairs on the steamers Wm. E. Corey, R.
W. England and Charles M. Warner, will be
the largest repair bills ever paid on the Lakes,
with the exception of the J. T. Hutchison.
The latter vessel, it will be remembered, went
ashore in Lake Superior in the late fall of
1903. Her repair bill was upward of one
hundred thousand dollars.
The Corey, now in drydock at Superior,
shows about sixty per cent, of her bottom
plates damaged, or between eighty and ninety
plates, a large number of broken frames, and
her tank top is thought to be punctured.
The steamer England has about 150 feet of
her bottom damaged, and many of her plates
can not be again used.
The Warner, which went ashore at the
Straits of Mackinac, has 130 damaged plates
and a number of broken plates. The Ellwood
is partly loaded and may be taken to Lake
Erie for repairs. The Crescent City, Mataafa,
Edenborn, and Barge Manila will be left on
the beach until next spring. It will probably
be late in the summer of 1906 before some of
these craft are again in commission.
The steamer Penobscot of the Shaw-Eddy
line will be lengthened ninety -two feet, at the
yards of the Toledo Ship Building Company
this winter. This will make her 447 feet long.
Evidently the work of lengthening the smaller
vessels is to continue. Last winter the steam-
ers Castalia, Curry, City of Bangor, L. C.
Waldo, Sevona and Victory and the barge
Constitution were lengthened seventy-two feet
each. With the wreck and breaking in two of
the Sevona, it was thought in some quarters
that the lengthening of vessels would stop, but
this is evidently not to be the case.
The first two 10,000-ton steamers building
for Captain Mitchell are to be named the
Joseph Sellwood and the Loftus Cuddy. The
Sellwood was scheduled to be launched at
Lorain on January 6th and the Cuddy some
time in February.
Alexander McKechnie has been elected
agent of Superior branch of Lake Seamen's
Union and will begin his duties at once.

Ore Men Building Boats.
The fact that Mr. Becker has ordered two
new boats in such a short time is said to indi-
cate the growing tendency of iron ore men, in-
dependent or otherwise, to build their own
boats to carry their own ore. As some explain
it. it is not so much a question of economy as
a business proposition — where the ore men fig-
ure they might just as well make the money they
pay out to individual vesselowners. One man
who has given the subject serious thought,
looks forward to the time when all ore will be
carried by strictly ore fleets.
Opposed to the arguments of the men who
expect ore interests to eventually own their
own Lake fleets is the reasoning of hard-
headed vesselmen, who assert that the develop-
ment of the country, and particularly the
Lake commerce, is beyond the conception of a
human mind — too vast even to attempt figur-
ing out. Such men reiterate that the same cry
has been raised for the last ten years— that
there will not be enough business for all the
new boats. While their talk is slightly tinged
with optimism, there is no question but that
the increasing prosperity of the country is too
great to estimate even six months ahead.
Marine Notes.
It is estimated that the sum of $162,798.76
was paid to lumber handlers of the Tonawanda
during the season of 1905.
The new 10,000 ton steamer building at
Detroit Engineering works for the Shenango
Steamship Company will be named the Wm.
P. Snyder.
An ordinance will probably be passed in
Milwaukee, compelling vessels to take at least
one tug when backing through bridges, thus
preventing accidents.

The schooner Helvetia brought the last
cargo of lumber to Tonawanda this season. It
is estimated that vessels in the lumber trade
between upper Lake ports and Tonawanda
lost about seven million feet during the last
two months of navigation.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
A news dispatcb informs us thai the old
side-wheel steamer Olympia has been bought
in the "bone-yard" of the Oregon Steam
Navigation Company, at Portland, Or., to be
towed 1" New York, for use as an excursion
steamer. As it is only eighteen months since
the General Slocum was burned, this bringing
of another condemned floating tinderbox to
ply with passengers in the waters of New Fork
shows how much our grasping shipmongers
eare for public opinion. It is likewise pretty
good evidence that they must have managed
to suitably "square" our "public servants."'
in- they would never go to the greal expense
of towing an old hulk like the Olympia all the
way around Cape Horn. Finally, the incident
is a good proof that the terrible lessons
taught by the General Slocum calamity have
not at all been heeded by the general public.
But, what else can be expected from a public
that will meekly stand for evils against which
the untutored savages of Darkest Africa
wi uld rebel .'
A debate on "Strikes and Boycotts" be-
tween Herbert X. Casson, the noted writer and
lecturer on economics, and James A. Emery.
el' California. Secretary of the Citizens' In-
dustrial Association of America, was held on
December IT at the People's Forum, in New
Rochelle. Mr. Casson defended the use of the
strike and the boycott, saying that they were
American institutions used by the founders of
the Republic. Mr. Emery graciously ad-
mitted thai workingmen had a righl to strike,
provided they violated no contract. His main
objection to strikes was that they were so fre-
quently accompanied by violence, and this he
blamed on the "labor leaders." To this, Mr.
Casson replied that we might as well blame
George Washington for the accidents which
happen en the Fourth of July.
Martin Littleton, Borough President of
Brooklyn, who receives a yearly salary of
$7,500, says it is utterly impossible for a man
to live on that salary in the way demanded of
a public official. This statement would seem
to substantiate the contention of trade-union-
ists and others that the increase in wages of
late years has not kept pace with the increase
in the cost of living. If the trusts keep on
boosting the prices of luxuries, public officials
may yet have to organize and strike for bigger
salaries and longer vacations.
Union Items.
Two of the largest publishing firms in New
York, Collier's and J. J. Little & Co., have
agreed to the demands of the Typographical
Union for an eight-hour workday. Both of
these linns were originally in the Typothetae,
but dropped out of it some time ago. It is
now certain that other large independent pub-
lishing firms will follow the lead of these two
houses, as, of course, the loss of the Typothe-
tae will be their gain.
The employes of . the New York Street
Cleaning Department have prepared a Dis-
ability bill, to be introduced in the Legislat-
ure. It provides for the creation of a pension
fund consisting of all the money received from
tines imposed upon sweepers and drivers, and
half the proceeds from the sales of unredeem-
ed encumbrances, condemned earls, ashes and
garba '_re- trim m ing privileges.
Fag Ends.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall!
If reforms harmed nobody and pleased
everybody they would be the most popular
diversions of the day.
Humbugs thrive because of the disposition
of human nature to put the greatest faith in
what it least understands.
The wise man draws wisdom from the same
source whence the fool but adds to his follies,
for the worth of anything is measured not by
what it is but by the use we make of it.
If a man who holds such amazingly lopsided
views on the plainest of current industrial
questions as does President Eliot, id' Harvard,
is "an intellectual giant," our standard of in-
tellectuality must have been reduced to that
level of conventional make-believes in which
"intellect" and "understanding" are svnony-
im us only in a Pickwickian sense.
The New York press proudly proclaimed
that on Christmas Day several thousand of
the city's poor — over one hundred thousand,
it is estimated — were fed by charitable per-
sons and organizations. The pride in this in-
stance was no doubt due to the fact that here
indeed was proof positive of our much-adver-
tised "national prosperity."
John Bums' labeling of the pro-Mongolian
policy of the British Government in Smith
Africa as "Orientalized Imperialism" ought
to remind us that if our Eliots and other "first
citizens" had their way we would soon be
wrestling with the problem of "Orientalized
Republicanism'' in this "land of the free and
home of the brave."
The Bev. Thomas Dixon, author of "The
Clansman" and "The Leopard's Spots," pre-
dicts that inside of fifty years we will come
to a pass as a nation where we will either have
to exterminate the negroes in this country or
deport them. With the "black peril." and
the "yellow peril," and the "no discrimina-
tion" "white peril" in our midst, we seem
indeed to be headed toward perilous times.
The aristocratic residents on Riverside
Drive, New- York, have complained to the au-
thorities that life is made unbearable for them
by the constant tooting of the whistles of the
harbor Graft, and have requested that the
"nuisance" be stopped. The authorities have
promised to "look into the matter," and it is
said that a bill will shortly be introduced in
the Legislature, permitting the tooting of tug
whistles at night only on the East River side,
where only poor people live.
District Attorney Jerome, of New York,
claims to have proof that some of the million-
aire life-insurance presidents are just com-
mon, "low-down door-mat thieves," who have
been in the habit for years of ordering
all sorts of things sent to their private resi-
dences and charging the cost for same up to
the policy-holders. There is not the least dan-
ger, however, of any of these gentlemen go-
ing to jail. As society is now organized, re-
spectable "door-mat theft" will be quite Safe
for any one who controls an insurance com-
pany or two.

UNION LABEL
OF THE
UNITED HATTERS
OF N. A.
When you are buying a FUR HAT, either soft or
stiff, see to it that the Genuine Union Label is sewed
in it. The Genuine Union Label Is perforated on the
four edges exactly the same as a postage stamp. If a retailer has loose labels
in his possession and offers to put one in a hat for you, do not patronize him.
Loose labels in retail stores are counterfeits. Unprincipled manufacturers are
using them in order to get rid of their scab-made hats. The John B. Stetson
Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., is a non-union concern.

BRITISH MERCHANT SEAMEN.
Decline of Native-Born Element.
Hides of Ebony Displacing Hearts of OaK.
FROM a return issued recently by the British Board
of Trade, dealing with the progress of merchant
shipping in the United Kingdom and the prin-
cipal maritime countries, the following significant par-
ticulars regarding numbers of seamen employed, and
wages of seamen, have been extracted:
Numbers of Seamen Employed.
Apprentices. — In 1870 there were 18,303 indentures
of apprentices in existence, and since 1877, when the
total number was 16,721, a decline occurred in each
year except 1892, and in 1904 the number had fallen to
5,179.
British and Foreign Persons. — The number of British
persons (not including Lascars) employed in 1904 was
176,975, and the number of foreign persons 39,832, a
proportion of 225 foreigners to every 1,000 British
persons. Since 1886, when statistics of Lascars and
Asiatics were first recorded, the total number employed
rose from 204,470 in that year to 259,489 in 1904. The
increase, however, was confined to the Lascars and
Asiatics, (who numbered 16,673 in 1886, and 42,682 in
1904), and foreigners (of whom 25,183 were employed
in 1886, and 39,382 in 1904).
Proportion Employed to Tonnage.
The proportion of persons employed to 100 tons
steadily decreased, from 2.95 in 1891 to 2.52 in 1904.
In the foreign trade in which 188,048 persons were em-
ployed in 1904, it was 2.44 in 1891, and 2.05 in 1904;
in the home trade, however, employing 65,415 persons,
it increased from 6.78 to 7.55.
Rates of Wages.
Able Seamen. — The predominant rates of wages paid
per month (in addition to food) on sailing vessels dur-
ing 1895-1904 showed an upward direction. In 1895 it
was 55s.; in 1897-8, 55s. to 60s.; in 1899-1904, 60s. In
1890, however, the predominant rates were 60s. to 70s.
Rates of wages on foreign-going steamships have
risen generally since 1895, and in 1904 were above the
predominant rates of the former year. A fall in wages
took place, however, in 1902 at certain ports, and the
general level of wages in 1903 and 1904 remained
slightly lower than in the years immediately preceding
1902. Figures are given for 1880 and 1890 where avail
able, and show that in 1880 rates of wages were much
lower than in 1895, but in 1890 they ruled higher than
in any of the years 1895-1904.
The predominant rate in 1904 at ports on the East
Coast was 90s., except at Hull, where it was 82s. 6d.
and 85s. At ports in the Bristol Channel rates on the
principal voyages were as follows: — 70s. at Bristol,
85s. at Swansea and Avonmouth, 80s. at Barry and
Newport, and 75c. at Cardiff and Penarth. At Liver-
pool and London they varied according to voyage, at
the former port being 80s. and 90s. to the East Coast
of North America, 80s. to the East Indies and China,
70s. to South America and West Indies, the West
Coast of America, and the Mediterranean, and 60s. to
the West coast of Africa, while at London rates were
90s. to the East Coast of North America, 80s. and 85s.
to the East Indies and China, and the Mediterranean,
and 80s. to South America and the West Indies,
Australia and New Zealand, and the Cape, Natal and
East Coast of Africa. Rates at Southampton were
80s., at Glasgow 80s., and at Dublin and Belfast 853.
and 90s. respectively.
Firemen. — Wages of firemen remained practically
unchanged during 1900-1904, except at ports in the
British Channel, where predominant rates fell in
1902-3, and in 1904 were generally 5s. below the level
of 1900.
On the East Coast, rates for firemen in 1904 were
the same as for able seamen, except at Hull, where
they were 5s. higher. Rates at- most ports in the Bris-
tol Channel were the same as for able -seamen, but at
Swansea, Bristol and Avonmouth they were 5s. higher.
Wages of firemen from Liverpool and London were
generally 10s. higher, but to the East Indies and
China from Liverpool they were the same, and to the
Mediterranean from London they were 5s. higher.
From Southampton rates were 15s. higher. From
Glasgow they were the same, and from Dublin and
Belfast they were 5s. higher.
A careful perusal of the foregoing will suggest to
the reader a number of questions. It seems that
Great Britain lias nearly as many problems to dispose
of in regard to the personnel of her merchant marine
as has the United States.
It will be seen by the figures quoted that the num-
ber of Lascars (natives of East India), is constantly
increasing. On the other hand, the number of appn n
tices on British ships has decreased from year to year.
How long will Britannia continue to rale the waves
when Asiatics are beinn; trained in her merchant
marine in ever-increasing numbers, while the suns of
the native land are driven from the sea to such alarm
ing extent as is revealed by the yearly decline in mini
bers of apprentices! In this connection it should be
noted that all statements issue.l bj the British Board
of Trade are absolutely reliable and based upon statis
ties gathered by the officials who are stationed
throughout the United Kingdom as well as nearby for-
eign port3.
Another significant feature of the Board of Trade's
statistics is the mention of the fact that the propor-
tion of persons employed to every 100 tons is steadily
decreasing. New ships are constantly built larger, but
no corresponding increase is made in the ship's crew.
Each ton added to the modern-built vessel means ad-
ditional income to the shipowner, but wages have re-
mained practically stationary.
Trade-unionism among British seamen is not strong
enough to assert itself by at least maintaining a
minimum wage. As a result the rates of wages fluctu-
ate slightly according to supply and demand at differ-
ent ports. At present the general rates of wages paid
are lower than they were a few years ago, but still
somewhat higher than in 1895. Tt is, indeed, de-
plorable that the seafaring people of Great Britain
cannot or will not follow the lead of their fellow work-
ers ashore, who are recognized as the pioneers of the
trade-union movement and have taught the workers of
the world the value of organization in the industrial
field.
Altogether the figures quoted speak eloquently of
the need of organization among Great Britain's sea-
farers.
The British as a nation have become accus-
tomed to boast that their strength lies upon the sea,
but the facts as given in the foregoing statistics indi-
cate that the British merchant marine is no longer
as it once was, the nursery of the navy. It has been
truly said that a failure of the supply of native sea-
men on the merchant vessels of the country means not
only the end of memorable traditions, but threa
the very foundation of national power. If the lessons
taught by history are entirely ignored by a powerful
nation, there will come a day of reckoning, and when
the next war comes— and come it will— Great Britain's
yellow and brown subjects, so useful to the shipowner
in times of peace, will be found wanting in more
than one respect. Nor will Great Britain's chestnuts
be hauled out of the fire by that new-born Mongolian
power which has so recently defeated a powerful
"white" navy, manned by brave men who were not
seamen I
However, John Hull is not the only one who is sac-
rificing his "all" in order that shipowners may h
cheap labor ami "compete" successfully. Uncle Sam
has followed in his footsteps and many of his proud
ships are manned by Asiatics, while the recruits for
the Navy are secured, under ever increasing difficulties,
from the woods, the held and the farm. American
seamen have asked for protection against Mongolian
competition, but our statesmen • ..,.. our ships must
"compete" with the ships of other lands, and wi
not Compete unless we li:i\e cheap labor!
Thus the years roll by and the British and the
American Sags wave more oi less proudly from coolie
manned ships and when china and oilier Asiatic
countries begin to build their navies and pn
war, they will have trained seamen to choose from.
The tune will come when both great English
in- nations Will be forced, by the first law of nature —
self-preservation to adopt measures which will bring
back to the sea the natives of the [and. The first
Step in that direction will be the strict exclusion of
Asiatics from every ship that tie, the British Union
.lack or our own Stan and Stripes! Other mea
which must and will be adopted me a manning scale,
and last, but not least, a law which will provide f..i B
stami- rd of i ii. I j \ idual efficiency.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Union Shop Affirmed.
We have been very disrespectful to those
noble and virtuous patriots, the sweaters, and
those who, in the name of Liberty, American-
ism, the Constitution, and the Golden Rule,
have declared war on the union shop. We
have treated in these columns the whole anti-
union campaign as a farce and a bit of pluto-
cratic hypocrisy as far as the appeals to
"sacred principles" were concerned.
Nay, we have done more ; we have had the
hardihood to criticise, and some say to ridi-
cule, certain decisions of solemn, ill-informed,
or unconsciously prejudiced judges who had
permitted sophistical attorneys to mislead
them into condemning agreements voluntar-
ily made, providing for the union shop ; that
is, for the exclusive employment of union men
in certain establishments for certain periods.
How rash all that was ! How could we con-
tradict learned judges in whose opinion any
"closed shop contract is an illegal and wrong-
ful contract, a contract opposed to public pol-
icy, because designed to create a monopoly?"
How could Ave continue to advocate the union
shop and swear at the attempts of short-
sighted employers and their obliging attor-
neys to outlaw all union shop contracts?
Well, we could — we did. "We were guilty
of those unheard-of things, as are the Typo-
graphical unions that even now, regardless of
grotesque injunctions and silly dicta, are
fighting for the union shop and the eight-
hour day.
And, strange as it will seem to our friend,
the enemy, one of the greatest courts in the
country, the New York Court of Appeals, has
just completely justified our attitude.
That great court, to which, by the way, or-
ganized labor is indebted for several admira-
ble, sound, progressive decisions, has upheld a
typical case, a union shop contract, declaring
it perfectly legal and in no sense incom-
patible with public policy and industrial lib-
erty.
More than that, it has treated the argu-
ments of the grave counsel of the employers,
party of the second part in the case, with a
degree of disrespect that is akin to contempt.
This is "the unkindcst cut of all." Finally,
the virtuous and patriotic champions of "lib-
erty," in the form of sweat-shops and anti-
union shops, have not even the consolation of
one or more dissenting opinions. The court
was unanimous !
Will the foundations of American liberty
and American government withstand this
shock ?
We shall see. Meantime, let us briefly give
the facts of the New York case, which we
commend to the study of thoughtful employ-
ers and honest lawyers, as well as to the at-
tention of organized labor.
The New York local of the Protective Coat
Tailors and Pressers' Union had entered into
an agreement with a clothing firm, whereby
the latter, for a sufficient consideration,
bound itself to employ none hut good stand-
ing members of that union. The firm had
violated the contract, and the union had
brought suit to recover damages for the
breach.
In the trial court the union won, but the
favorable decision was later reversed by the
appellate division. Two questions were in-
volved: First, was the contract a good, legal
contract? Second, was the defense sufficient
on its face? The defense was that the con-
tract was not enforceable in a court of law
because it was opposed to public policy, in
that it operated to restrain trade and estab-
lish monopoly in labor.
This, it will be remembered, was precisely
the ground upon which some two years ago a
high Illinois court declared a "Closed Shop"
contract void and unlawful.
But the New York Court of Appeals de-
clined to take that view. It held that the
gannent workers' union shop contract was
perfectly valid, lawful and proper, and that
the employers were bound by it.
By implication, the court rejected the con-
tention that union shop contracts tend to
create monopolies and as such are injurious
to the public. We have shown how absurd
and hollow the contention is. how it logically
leads to the repudiation of all contracts, and
how employers have always had the right to
make contracts in regard to raw material,
machinery and things of the kind that the
hypocritical and pseudo-patriotic employers
have attempted to deny to organized labor.
The New York decision completely vindi-
cates the union shop, and covers it? rabid,
fanatical, or vicious enemies with confusion
and ridicule. We almost pity the plutocratic
lawyers and the prejudiced, gullible judges
who have been betrayed into making silly,
farcical decisions against the right of contract
in the name of the right of contract.
The union shop rests on the right of eon-
tract and the right of property and the right
to dispose of one's labor. — American Federa-
tionist.
Bookbinders in Saxony.
For some time past the workmen in the
bookbinding and paper-box making establish-
ments in Saxony have been working to secure
higher wages. On November 25 a mass meet-
bag was held ;n the hall of a hotel in Chem-
nitz, and a long debate ensued as to the ac-
tion the workmen should take in regard to the
matter. Some time ago the bookbinders'
union worked out a wage tariff, a copy of
which was sent to every bookbinding and
paper-box making establishment or firm in
Saxony, with the demand that an answer
should be given not later than November 22.
That day came and passed without an answer.
and a crisis in the whole industry is now
threatened. There are 165 firms involved in
what may eventually prove to be a strike of
serious dimensions.
The workmen demand a minimum wage of
from $4.28 to +5.71 per week for male skilled
workmanship, and $1.90 to $3.57 for the
women. Especially skilled workmanship of
both sexes should by all means receive a high-
er rate of wages. They also demand nine and
one-half hours for a week day. including the
noonday hour and vesper pauses. Resolu-
tions were passed at the meeting in Chemnitz
to the effect that the bookbinders' union as an
organization was not yet sufficiently strong to
order a general strike with any favorable
prospects of success. It was decided, there-
fore, that the workmen in each bookbinding
establishment should take whatever independ-
ent action they thought fit in order to secure
the wage tariff set up by the union.
According to a Royal Decree published in
the Official Gazette at Madrid, Spain, the con-
ditions or terms specified on a bill of lading
as between shipper or receiver and the owner
of the vessel are not to be considered as bind-
ing in a court of law if such clauses are not
in agreement with the "Codigo de Comercio,"
or Code of Spanish law.
Day Lost or Gained.
The following explanation (if the loss or
gain of a day in traveling around the world
was written by the late Captain J. Tivmainc
Smith, of the Pacific Mail liner Siberia:
All time is reckoned from Greenwich, which
is sometimes called the primer, or first me-
ridian—longitude, 0. Places on the earth are
either behind or ahead of Greenwich time,
according as they are in east or west longi-
tude. For example, when it is noon at Green-
wich, it is 7 a. m. in New York the same day.
New York is in 75 west, and as each 15 de.
grees of longitude is one hour of time, New
York is therefore five hours behind Green-
wich. When it is 8 a. m. in San Francisco,
it is 4 p. m. in Greenwich of the same day.
San Francisco is 120 degrees west from
Greenwich, or eight hours of time later, of
course. Places east of Greenwich have their
time earlier by the difference of longitude, or
the distance from Greenwich. Example: Ma-
nila is in longitude 120 degrees from Green-
wich, or eight hours of time; therefore when
it is 4 p. m. in Manila, it is S a. m. of the
same day in Greenwich. In Japan, standard
time is reckoned from the 135th meridian, or
9 hours ahead of Greenwich time. Noon at
any place on the earth is marked by the ad-
vent of the sun across the meridian of that
place. If the traveler is Bailing from east to
west, or from San Francisco towards Japan,
and say, around the world on the same west-
erly course, he and the sun are moving in the
same direction, and the instant the sun ar-
rives at his meridian, it must be past noon at
the place he left yesterday, and is not yet
men at the place be hopes to reach to-mor-
row. . . . The opposite condition holds,
of course, it' he is going eastward around the
world; or, instead of the sun overtaking him.
as it did in going westward, he dow advances
to meet the sun. and therefore shortens his
day by the length of his distance made each
day, instead of lengthening it; or his day will
probably be 23C. hours, instead of 2C L. hours.
. . . By the time the traveler has reached
the meridian of 180 degrees, going westward,
he has lengthened his life by 12 hours of
time, and if he continues to travel in the same
direction until he reaches Greenwich (from
which all lime is reckoned) he will have added
2-1 hours t<> his life probably without being
conscious of the fact. If traveling in the op-
posite direction (eastward), he will have
shortened his life by the same time, but in-
stead of dropping a day. as we have done
here, he adds a day at the 180th meridian and
evens uj) what he had lest on the ourney. To
put the problem more plainly: Suppose two
men, A and 15. started on the same instant on
a journey around the world, the first going
east, and the other west, neither making any
alteration in their date from the time of
starting until their return together on the
same day. This is what would happen: A
would believe that he had arrived say on
Sunday, while B would persist in the belief
that it was Friday. There would be a differ-
ence of two whole days in their reckoning;
but no one would seriously entertain the idea
that on this account A had lived forty-eight
hours longer than 15. The actual day of the
week would of course be Saturday, and the
actual tin Dsumed by cadi on the journey
would be precisely the same. A going west.
should have dropped a day: I? going east,
should have added a day.

New Ship Canal.
Representative W. H. Wiley, of Orange,
N. J., has introduced a concurrent resolution
in Congress, providing for a survey of a ship
canal from Newark to New York Bay, to he
cut through the peninsula of New Jersey, ly-
ing between the Hackensack and the Hudson
rivers. Steps have also been taken to have
the New Jersey Legislature authorize the pur-
chase or condemnation of the land needed
for the project. The plan, as now matured,
is to begin with the digging early in the
spring. With the State of New Jersey and
private capital both interested, the promoters
of the undertaking — chief of whom is the
Pennsylvania Railroad — anticipate no diffi-
culty in acquiring the necessary land, as
nearly all the rights of way involved have
long since lapsed. A canvass of the New Jer-
sey Legislature has already been made and
the sentiment found to be almost unanimous
in its favor. Active efforts are also being
made in Washington, D. C, to have the mat-
ter placed, without the usual delays, before
the River and Harbor Committee.
The new canal, when completed, will add
seven and one-half miles to the harbor front-
age of New York, and form an almost direct
water connection between that port and. New-
ark. The main part of the digging will have
to be done between Jersey City and Bayonne,
and the specifications will probably call for
a width of two hundred feet and depth
enough to accommodate the largest ocean-
going steamers — thirty-five feet or so. As
now planned, the terminals will be construct-
ed so that they may be used for dock pur-
poses, but this feature is subject to future re-
vision, depending upon what deals, if any,
affecting traffic through the canal may be en-
tered into between the State and the rail-
roads. It is also calculated that it is going
to be the cheapest canal of its kind in the
world, as the soil in that section is peculiarly
easy to excavate. Hence, the cost of the en-
gineering work has been estimated to be not
more than $350,000.
Tlic Pennsylvania Railroad recently stopped
the custom of giving fire passes to newspaper-
men and others. Shortly afterward the Pitts-
burg Newspaper Pnblishers' Association met
in session and passed a resolution to bar from
the respective newspapers all complimentary
notices relating to the Pennsylvania Railroad
or its officers. Also all railroad wrecks on
that system are to be reported in detail here-
after, care to be taken that the railroads are
not favored. This incident reveals one of the
backyard features of that "great moral en-
gine," the daily press, which has brought that
institution into deserved distrust and con-
tempt among the thinking part of the public.
If this resolution of the Pittsburg Newspaper
Publishers' Association proves anything at
all, it proves that the average newspaper pub-
lisher is morally a blackmailer who for a con-
sideration is willing in n nnive at violations of
the law, but who tin- momenl the considera-
tion is withdrawn will turn and "inform" on
those with whom ho was previously in moral
collusion.
The Shorter WorKday.
The New York Times, semi-official or-
gan of the National Citizens' Industrial As-
sociation, ingenuously suspects that it has
discovered an infallible counteractive to the
"shorter workday" agitation. "The issue,"
it says with ex-cathedra solemnity, "would be
plainer if in all the trades the men worked
by the hour. Then they would be striking for
longer days, not for shorter." It is just pos-
sible, however, that if workingmen generally
worked by the hour they would in some way
contrive to have the hourly pay harmonize
with their ideas of what constitutes a fair
day's pay for a fair day's work. In fact,
that is exactly what they are doing now
wherever wages are contracted for upon an
hourly basis, for the very principle of over-
time pay rests upon the incontrovertible
proposition that a "day's work" must of ne-
cessity be accomplished within the duration
of time understood by the term "day," as dis-
tinct from the term "night." It is also a
matter of record that all intelligent work-
ingmen are more or less opposed to what is
known as working overtime, and generally
consent to do so only because they must, or
quit their jobs. It is quite the fashion in many
establishments for the foremen to tell the men
going home for supper that if they do not
come back and work after supper they need
not report for work next morning. Overtime
does more to destroy the health of working-
men than any other single evil with which
they have to contend, and as our civilization
progresses the destructive nature of this evil
will become more and more patent. It is
safe to say that if the abolition of "overtime
work" lay solely with workingmen the sys-
tem would be abolished at once. The average
workingman is quite satisfied to make a liv-
ing by working six days in the week and eight
hours a day.
Commissioner Watchorn, of the Depart-
ment of Immigration, complains -that the traf-
fic in "undesirable females," brought to this
country from Europe, is increasing, and that
his department is unable to stop it. When the
Panama Canal Commission imported a few
hundred "wives" to Colon to cheer the lone-
someness of the laborers on the Canal some
of our reverend Pecksniffs almost went into
hysterics over the "infamy," but not one of
them has thrown anything like a moral fit over
the steady stream of "undesirable females"
which has been pouring into this country via
Ellis Island these many years past. And it
is notable, too, that among our clergymen are
found some of the most strenuous advocates of
the "no discrimination" policy in the matter
of Mongolian immigration, well knowing, as
they must, that if we can not keep the "unde-
sirable females" of Europe from coming here,
we could not possibly hope, with our Chinese
Exclusion laws repealed or "modified, "to keep
out the "undesirable females" of a country
where, as in Japan, prostitution is sanctioned
by hoary social usage.

"Class Legislation."
The recent decision handed down by the
Appellate Division of the New York Supreme
Court, declaring that the law which prohibits
the insertion in a contract between an em-
ployer and an employe of a clause forbidding
the latter to join a trade-union is unconstitu-
tional, was as usual based upon the broad as-
sumption that such laws are in the nature of
"class legislation." This assumption is prob-
ably well founded; but if the principle in-
volved in the decision of the court were ap-
plied to all the laws in existence, none but the
Ten Commandments and their immediate off.
shoots on the statute books would stand the
test of constitutionality. As civilized society
is now organized, and doubtless will be for
ages to come, men will always be divided into
classes. Hence the great majority of laws en-
acted by our Congress and Legislatures must
of necessity be in the nature of "class legisla-
tion," seeing that the interests of the various
social classes are nearly always at variance,
and that therefore but few laws will be ac-
cepted as just to all classes. If the classes
into which human society is divided were of
equal strength and social prestige and influ-
ence, the problem of human government
would, of course, be greatly simplified. But
as society now stands, any law enacted for
the protection of the socially weak against
the socially strong is foredoomed to a trouble-
some and precarious existence. This is so be-
cause, of the co-ordinate branches of our Gov-
ernment, the Judicial has always been, and
still is, the least under the control of the
plain people, i. e., the weaker classes of so-
ciety. The results of this are seen in the fre-
quency with which labor laws have been out-
lawed by the courts, while laws favoring the
trusts enjoy the proverbial longevity of the
cat.
Andrew Carnegie is now deferentially re-
ferred to by the lackeys of the press as "the
famous ironmaster," their sense of the infer-
nal unfitness of things no doubt restraining
them from referring to him as "the famous
steelmaster." When some of the other Tariff-
protected trust pirates begin to whack up
from their plunder as handsomely as does the
little Laird o' Skibo, we may yet have the
edifying pleasure of reading "the speech of
the famous beef and pork master was greeted
with ringing cheers by the assembled guests";
or that "the famous life-insurance master was
visibly touched by the spirit of forbearance
shown by the defrauded policy holders"; or
that "the famous kerosene master had donned
his favorite wig for the occasion"; etc., etc.
otber times, other manners. When people
were rude enough to call a spade a spade, a
man who took more than one sniff of anything

moon Bay, Cal., has been introduced by Representative
Hayes.
The ship Aginor, which was more than a month
overdue from Saginaw Bay, Alaska, arrived at Yoko-
hama, Japan, on January 8.
The schooner Advance, previously reported ashore
near the lighthouse at Bandon, Or., is still in the
same position, but is expected to be floated shortly.
Representative Kahn, of California, has introduced
a bill in Congress granting unqualified American regis-
ter to the bark Homeward Bound, of San Francisco.
The British ship Silberhorn has been ordered to
proceed from San Francisco to Puget Sound for or-
ders, after having been laid up in the former port for
four years.
A telegram from London received at San Francisco
on January 8 reported that the British ship Banga-
lore, from Philadelphia for Honolulu, has put into
Valparaiso with her cargo on fire.
The barkentine Kohala, owned by Hind, Rolph &
Co., is reported to have reached Champerico, Guate-
mala, after a fast run of twenty-eight days from San
Francisco with a cargo of merchandise.
The American ship Siutram arrived in San Francisco
on January 14, after a passage of 89 days from Hako-
date, Japan. Heavy weather was encountered, neces-
sitating the jettisoning of 2,000 bags of sulphur.
The steamer Pennsylvania, purchased some time ago
by a Seattle company for use on the northern coast,
sailed from Philadelphia, Pa., on January 10, and will
call at San Francisco on the way to the Sound.
On the way from Caspar, on her sixteen-hour run,
the steam-schooner South Coast lost part of her deck-
load of lumber in the southeast gale and high sea. The
vessel fared badly in the storm, but is reported to have
suffered no serious damage.
The German ship Alsternixe, long on the overdue
list, arrived on January 8 at Santa Rosalia, her des-
tination, after a passage of 196 days from Ham-
burg. The master and second-mate died during the
passage and many of the crew were laid up with
scurvy.
Further advices received at San Francisco on Janu-
ary 12, from Kobe, Japan, state that the bark Chal-
lenger, before reported as a total loss, broke up during
a storm. The cargo of fertilizer from Alaska is
washing ashore, and there will probably be some sal-
vage.
The steam-schooner W. H. Kruger, from Fort Bragg
for San Francisco, was abandoned in a leaking condi-
tion on January 12. The Kruger 's passengers and
crew were landed at the latter port on the 15th by the
steam-schooner Sea Foam. It is feared that the Kruger
has become a total loss.
The Utah-Pacific Coal and Navigation Company, or-
ganized recently to open up new coal fields in Southern

ern steamers to connect with the Salt Lake route at
San Pedro and to ply between San Pedro harbor and
the Hawaiian Islands.
The steam-dredger San Francisco and two barges
broke adrift from the towboat while on the way from
San Francisco to San Pedro on January 11 and went
ashore near Bolinas, Cal. A heavy southeast gale pre-
vailed at the time. The men ou board the dredger
and barges were rescued with much difficulty.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's steamer
State of California, which arrived at Santa Barbara,
Cal., on January 12, from San Francisco, reported the
drowning of Boatswain M. Maguirc off Monterey on
the 11th. He was washed from the deck by a heavy
sea, and all efforts to rescue him proved futile. His
homo was in San Francisco.
James Jansen, a seaman, who wrote from Washing-
ton confessing that he had fraudulent naturalization
papers and had obtained a mate's license thereby,
and who pleaded guilty before Judge De Haven at
San Francisco on January 11, was sentenced on the
12th to pay a fine of $3000 or to remain in the Ala-
meda County Jail until the fine is paid.
The schooner Jennie Wand, bound from Astoria for
La Paz, Lower California, has gone ashore two miles
from La Paz, and probably will be a total loss, ac-
cording to information received at San Francisco on
January 10. The crew were saved. The Jennie Wand
was owned by Hickman & Masterson of Han Francisco
and was 124 feet long, with a net tonnage of 163.
A statement has been made public by the' Spreckels
Brothers Commercial Company, agents of the Ameri-
can-Hawaiian Steamship Company, to controvert the
report that the steamers of that line would hereafter
omit the stop at San Diego, Cal. it is denied em-
phatically that the Southern I alifornia harbor is to
be abandoned as a port of call or that any change is
contemplated.
The Senate Committee on Commerce on January 11
favorably reported Senator Perkins' lolls appropriat-
ing $135,000 for a lighthouse tender for the Twelfth
District; $75,000 for a revenue cutter for San Frnn-
eisco Bay; 225,000 for a revenue-cutter for Hawaii;
$130,000for a tender tor the Inspector of the Twelfth
Lighthouse District, and establishing a Life-Saving
station at Halfmoon Bay.
Bids have been opened for dry-docking the steamer
City of Puebla and the removing of her propeller and
shaft, in order that a thorough inspection may be made.
The bids were as follows: Moore & Scott Iron Works,
$998; Union Iron Works, 799; Fulton Iron Works,
$1950; Risdon Iron Works, $1195; United Engineer-
ing Works, $1400. Bids were also opened for furnish-
ing a new low-pressure cylinder, but no award has yet
been made.
Henry Weber, master, and James Spencer, engineer,
of the steamer Despatch, whose licenses were suspend-
ed for ninety days on account of the fire on their boat
at San Francisco on December 8, by which ten-year-
old .lames Mitchell lost his life, appealed from the
decision of the Local Inspectors who imposed the pen-
alty, ami have secured from Captain John Berming-
ham, Supervising Inspector, a one-half reduction in
their sentence.
It is reported that the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company plans, on the completion of the North Hank
Road into Portland, Or., to put on two large passenger
and freight steamers between that city and San Fran-
cisco. The steamers will carry 500 passengers, and
will have an average speed of twenty-two knots. The
company is considering the advisability of having the
vessels constructed in San Francisco in preference to
having them built in the East.
The first steamer of the line established between
Japan and South America by the Toyo Kisen Kaisha
is now on the southern coast, and the result of her
mission is awaited with interest. The steamer is the
British freighter Glenfarg, which was chartered for
the occasion, and sailed from Japan with a rather light
cargo, but with numerous Japanese and Chinese
laborers in the steerage, bound for the southern con-
tinent to engage in contract work.
The immense sand bar which had formed at, the
mouth of Russian River, Cal., and which prevented
salmon getting into that stream, has been blown open
with dynamite. After the explosive had been used
men and youths took shovels and opened the bar wide
to permit all the fish to enter, and in consequence great
quantities of the large and toothsome fish are running
in the river. So large and plentiful are the fish the
men and boys are catching them with pitchforks in lieu
of the usual gaffs. The run of fish is reported to be
the heaviest in more than eleven years, and the fish
are larger as a rule.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on January 14: British ship Drumcraig, 115
days from Astoria for Manila, 35 per cent. British
bark Ednyfed, 108 days from Trapani for Gloucester,
10 per cent. British bark St. Mary's Bay, 58 days
from London for New York, 10 per cent. British ship
Cumberland, 138 days from Iquique for Hamburg, 5
per cent. British ship King David, 108 days from
Salina Cruz for Puget Sound, 65 per cent. British
bark Mobile Bay, 190 days from New York for For-
mosa, 10 per cent.
A company known as the Independent Steamship
Ticket Company was organized at Portland, Or., on
January 10, to sell tickets on all the independent lines
running out of Portland to San Francisco, Seattle,
Tacoma, Los Angeles, Coos Bay, Eureka and other
Coast points, and to provide for freight contracts to
those points. It is said that the new company is really
a combination of the independent steamship lines on
the Coast to fight the San Francisco and Pacific Steam-
ship Company, which has connections with various
Coast points. The latter company is a Harriman en-
terprise. The Independent Steamship Company will
also sell tickets from Seattle to Alaska.
For the first time in years there are no vessels on
Puget Sound awaiting charters. Last, year nearly
every Sound port had vessels tied up awaiting more
prosperous times in shipping. The revival in the lum-
ber trade, together with the large wheat crop, have
created a demand for every wind-jammer that the
Sound shippers have been able to secure. The ship
Elwell, chartered on January 13 by a San Francisco
firm to carry lumber to Lahaina, was the last remain-
ing vessel on the Sound unchartered. During the last
three years the number of ships loaded at Sound ports
has increased 70 per cent. During the next thirty
days eight sailing vessels, now loading at Tacoma, Port
Blakeley, Port Gamble and Ballard, will carry to for-
eign porta over 12,000,000 feet of lumber. Shipping
men say that during the past month there has been a
greater demand for lumber charters than ever.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn
that there is at least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a constitution;! I
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Canadian Fishing Industry.
Pishing ranks among the most interesting
and importanl of Canadian industries. It
furnishes employment to a greal many poo-
pie, supplies (he world with a large share of
that form of food, and yields to (he soil in
its by-products splendid fertilizing- material.
No one need ho surprised, therefore, to find
it the object of a groat deal of care and so-
licitude to Canadian statesmen and econo-
mists. In this connection Consul-General
Holloway says:
There has boon considerable disappoint-
ment in the fish business, which lias boon dull.
Still, prices have been higher. Bait has boon
scarce, owing- largely to the ravages of the
dogfish. Those, if permitted to increase, would
have destroyed fishing in j]1(. maritime prov-
inces within a few years, hut the work of ex-
termination is being prosecuted with vigor.
'flte Dominion Government has established a
dogfish reduction plant at Canso as well as at
Shippegan, which are grinding from 5 to 10
tons per hour, fishing schooners keeping them
in good supply, the government paying fair
prices for the fish. It has not, been ascer-
tained whether the. oil can he marketed as yet,
hut. there seems to be no question as to the
value of the ground carcasses as fertilizers.
The fishermen of Kings County recently held
a meeting- and asked the department of ma-
rine and fisheries to establish a reduction
plant at that place. The dogfish are easily
caught, and the fishermen are reported to be
earning satisfactory wages by furnishing the
same to the Government.
The United States is interested in clearing
the Atlantic coast, of the sea pests and has
sent two representatives, Doctor Field and
Doctor Delano, of the Massachusetts fisheries
commission, to examine the Canadian plants.
These gentlemen have visited the plant at
Canso, as well as the establishment of Mr.
Baker at Fourchu, which is canning the fish
l'»v food. They are satisfied that they can be
introduced into foreign markets, as the food
is reported as palatahle and good. A corre-
spondent, of the Halifax Chronicle, in refer-
ring to the canning of dogfish, says: "Th«
much-abused dogfish are coming to be as well
spoken of as cod, haddock, and other varieties
of fish. This is not because of its food quali-
ties, but because of their money value to fish-
ermen. "
Owing Id unusual scarcity of bait, cod fish-
ing in Canadian waters has been very poor
and the fishermen turned their attention to
dogfish and have made fair wages. A ton of
this fish, hitherto useless except as a fertilizer,
is landed by two men in a short, time. The
present reduction works can not. begin to take
care of all the fish which are delivered daily.
The consequence is that the fishermen can
"iil.v fish a Few days of the week. In addition
I" i he deliveries of local fishermen at the re-
duction works, several schooner loads have
been sent from Porl Hood, Harbor au Bouche,
Whitehead, and farther west. The man.!
has had his hands more than full in trying to
handle all the fish thai nave been delivered.
The Governmenl is id' the opinion that, a mar-
ket, will be found for the canned dogfish, but
will erect nn more reduction plants until that

LABOR SOLID FOR EXCLUSION.
The work of the Japanese and Korean Ex-
clusion League has recently been formally in-
dorsed by organized labor throughout Cali-
fornia. Although never in doubt, the attitude
of the State labor movement on the subject of
Japanese and Korean Exclusion has been em-
phasized and its sentiments crystallized in prac-
tical form by the action of the State conven-
tions of the Federation of Labor and Build-
ing Trades Council, both of which bodies have
declared themselves during the past two weeks.
In addition to the indorsement of the League's
work, these conventions recommended that
their respective affiliated bodies contribute to
the funds of the League upon the basis origin-
ally adopted, namely, one cent per member per
month. This action will greatly increase the
resources available for prosecuting the cam-
paign, thus materially improving the prospects
of ultimate success. At the same time, it may
be said that the action taken in this connec-
tion will go far to insure the success of the re-
spective conventions themselves.
The success or failure of the work of these
conventions, as of any similar gathering, can
not be determined immediately and as a mat-
ter of personal opinion, but must be left to
the test of time and practical experience. In
this view it is probable that the action taken
upon the Exclusion question will prove to be
the most important feature of the conventions'
work.
The question which organized labor of the
State must decide is: Shall the State of Cali-
fornia be preserved to the white race, the
American race, or shall it be abandoned to the
yellow race for purposes of Asiatic coloniza-
tion?
There will be no dissent from the judgment
of the recent conventions upon that question.
When the American people at large are awak-
ened to the full import of Asiatic immigra-
tion there will be no material difference of
opinion regarding the proposition that Asiatic
labor must be wholly and effectually exclud-
ed from the United States.
Doubtless there are, and always will be, cer-
tain elements of the people — those who have
sacrificed patriotism to commercialism and
those who indulge a mistaken conception of the
Divine purpose — who will oppose Exclusion.
But these elements do not count in the mass of
American sentiment, except to make that senti-
ment more pronounced. The American peo-
ple may be depended upon to protect them-
selves in any crisis that threatens them. All
that need be feared in the present instance is
that the crisis may occur before we are ready
to deal with it in the way it should be deall
with, namely, by legislative means. In any
event, the American people may be depended
upon to resolve the question in their own fa-
vor, to defend and conquer in the cans.' of
America for the Americans.
Upon organized labor of California devolves
the duty of arousing and centralizing public
opinion throughout the State and throughout
the West. Experience in such matters justi-
fies the prediction that as California goes so
will go the whole territory of the Pacific Slope,
if not of the entire Inter-Mountain section. As
the central bodies of organized labor in Cali-
fornia, the voice of the Slate Federation of La-
bor and the State Building Trades Council will
be heard and heeded with respect by organ-
ized labor everywhere and by the friends of
that institution throughout the world.
The question of Asiatic immigration is a
labor question only in the sense that labor
comes first in contact with it. In its broader
aspects that question, like many another, is a
public, a national, one. In the present, as in
many other instances, organized labor stands
in the vanguard and bears the brunt of the
battle, not because the interests of labor, as
such, are alone affected, but because organ-
ized labor is, and ever has been, the first and
last promoter, defender and conservator of
the public interests.
The voice of California has now been heard
in emphatic and unmistakable tones. But one
feature of the question remains to be acted up-
on, namely, the self-help feature.
Possibly the most effective, or at any rati-
the most immediate and practical measure of
Exclusion consists in the refusal to patronize
the products of the undesirable classes. The
trade-unionist or other friend of National prog-
ress who patronizes the products of Asiatic la-
bor can not be regarded as a sincere Exclusion-
ist. Let us assure ourselves that no charge of
insincerity may be made against us in this
connection. If the Chinese and Japs can not
be persuaded to "go" by legislative means,
they can be forced to "go" by lack of employ-
ment. For once the trade-unionists may feel
how it is to stand in the employer's boots.
They are the real employers of Asiatic labor.
Let them discharge that help, and thus vindi-
cate their right to "run their own business."
That attitude, generally adopted and firmly
adhered to, will do much to solve the Exclu-
sion question. Indeed, if we may venture a
private opinion, the question will never be final-
ly solved until that attitude is adopted. The
legislation that is effective is, after all, but a
reflex, an expression, of the public will. If
the people of California will that Asiatics
shall come to these shores, as evidenced by the
purchase of Asiatic products, the Asiatics will
"come," and no amount of legislation, how-
ever solemnly enacted, will make them "go."
Exclusion, like charity, should begin at
home. Let us begin the work of excluding
Asiatic labor by excluding the products of that
labor from our daily uses. "We may rest as-
sured that to the extent that we pursue that
policy the work of securing the enactment of
a Japanese and Korean Exclusion Act will be-
come easier, until it shall be consummated in
a final declaration by the Congress of the
United States that the welfare of our people
shall no longer be menaced by the cheap coolie
labor of the Orient.
DEFEAT OF THE POLITICIANS.
The California State Federation of Labor
concluded an interesting week's session on the
6th inst. As had been expected, tin' chief
feature of the convention's proceedings con-
sisted in the struggle between those who
would use the Federation for political pur-
I" sea and those who would hold it to the
purely trade-union line. The issue was raised
upon a proposal to amend the Constitution so
as to debar public office-holders from office in
the Federation. After a lengthy debate the
matter was tabled. A two-thirds vote being
necessary, the politically inclined delegates
were enabled to prevent the adoption of the
proposed amendment. However, a substantial
majority of the delegates st 1 firmly against
the effort to capture the Federation for po-
litical purposes. The question will now be
referred to a vote of the membership at large,
and there is little doubt that it will be car-
ried by a large majority. It is safe to infer that
the Federation has passed the crucial stage of
its existence. From now on there will be less
politics and more trade-unionism in the de-
liberations of that body. For all of which let
us be truly thankful !
Thi' character and conduct of those dele-
gates who opposed the amendment in ques-
tion affords the best possible proof of the
necessity of that measure. Almost without ex-
ception, certainly in every conspicuous in-
stance, the delegates who were opposed to
barring the public office-holder from office in
the Federation were themselves office-holders,
State or municipal. These men went to the
convention as politicians, not as trade-union-
ists; their voices and votes were aimed to se-
cure political, not trade-union, ends. The
shameless hoodlumism which marked the pro-
ceedings for hours and days on end constitutes
a sufficient commentary upon the motives in-
spiring the attempt to capture the Federation.
\s in the moral character of the men who led
the fight for political control — well, it is just
what might be expected of such men, that is,
bad. in fact rotten. The least that can be
said about these individuals is that they arc
not trade-unionists at all, but adventurers pos-
ing in the guise of trade-unionism. The lat-
ter institution,, like every prosperous move-
ment, has its parasites — individuals who fasten
themselves upon it for blood-sucking purposes,
and who will desert it the moment it ceases to
afford them ample nourishment. Of course,
the parasite seeks and secures election to that
office in which he can best serve his selfish and
nefarious ends. The politicians "higher up,"
the officials who dispense "patronage" among
the groundlings, should take warning that they
are being injured rather than aided by the
conduct of their . respective stool-pigeons in
the labor movement. As for the State Federa-
tion itself, it is to be congratulated upon the
demonstration of its ability to put up a
"stand-off" fight against its enemies, which,
under the circumstances, is almost as signifi-
cant as a positive victory. At any rate, it has
1 n demonstrated in black and white that a
great majority of the Federation's member-
ship stands firmly for trade-unionism and
againsi so-called labor politics.

THE LABEL IN AUSTRALIA.
Score another victory for the union label !
The Union Label bill has been passed by the
Australian Federal Parliament, and is now the
law of that great commonwealth. Hooraw for
the Australian trade-unionists and their
friends in Parliament! Hooraw for the little
symbol of industrial fairplay, the "In Hoc
Signo Vinces" of the crusade against the
sweatshop and child labor !
The Union Label bill was introduced in the
Federal Parliament as a feature of the Trade
Marks bill, a measure dealing with the rights
of registration and protection in the case of
trade marks generally. The opportunity pre-
sented by the discussion of the Trade Marks
bill was taken advantage of by the Labor mem-
bers to introduce a clause granting the right
to trade-unions to register their labels and
thus secure legal protection for that particu-
lar species of "trade mark." The debate that
ensued was long — the longest in the history
of the Parliament — and warm, not to say acri-
monious. The opponents of the Union Label
clause stonewalled (i. e., filibustered) for
weeks in the effort to wear out the Labor mem-
bers, but without success. Labor Leader Wat-
son, ably defended the clause by arguments
and citations in proof of the absolute fairness
of tbe label as a business proposition and its
necessity as an industrial safeguard. Mr.
Watson referred freely to American prece-
dents in support of his contention, and in re-
turn presented many original points which are
destined to become part of the gospel of union-
label agitation throughout the world. The
division was taken in the House of Representa-
tives on December 5, the vote being 26 to 22
in favor of the Union Label clause. The
Senate voted on the following day, the major-
ity in favor of the proposition being the same
as in the lower house, namely, 15 to 11. The
Trade Marks bill goes into effect four months
from the date of its passage. While extend-
ing congratulations to the Australian trade-
unionists upon their victory in this connec-
tion, we may be excused a feeling of self-satis-
faction based upon the fact that the union
label is an American device — a San Francisco
device, in fact — and that the American trade-
unionists were first to recognize the invincible
powers of that weapon. Hooraw for the Unit-
ed States!
President David Starr Jordan, of Stanford
Jr. University, declares that the passage of a
Japanese and Korean Exclusion Act would re-
sult in a war with Japan. Dr. Jordan must
have it in for the Japs. Certainly the Doctor
knows that his talk is calculated to augment
Exclusion sentiment. The Doctor must also
know that if there is one thing any self-re-
specting man or nation is bound to do it is
that thing which some other man or nation
suggests that he or it is afraid to do. If, per-
chance, Doctor Jordan doesn't know these
things, he is more of a college professor and
less of a common-sense man than we had
thought.
When making purchases of clothing see that
the goods bear the label of the United Gar-
ment Workers of North America.
Now that the union label is the law in Aus-
tralia, let's make it more the practice in the
United States.

MOKE PAY FOR LIFE-SAVERS.
The California State Federation of Labor,
at its recent convention in Oakland, adopted a
resolution, introduced by Delegate Erickson, of
the Sailors' Union, urging an increase of pay
for the men employed in the Life-Saving Serv-
ice. The resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, The efficiency of the Life-Saving Service
is impaired by its most proficient surfmen leaving,
owing to the small compensation for their hazardous
services; and
"Whereas, In their places are necessarily substituted
untried men, unused to concerted action, the lack of
which often leads to failure in their life-saving opera-
tions ; and
Whereas, Sound public policy demands that a serv-
ice so valuable to human life and commerce shall not
be deteriorated by the saving of a few dollars; there-
fore, be it
Resolved, By the California State Federation of
Labor, in convention assembled, that we request Con-
gress to increase the compensation of surfmen and
keepers sufficient to retain the efficient men in the
Service and secure a better class of recruits ; further,
be it
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be for-
warded to each member of the House of Representa-
tives and the Senate from this State.
The subject here, dealt with is an important
one and should receive the prompt attention of
Congress. The Life-Saving Service is one of the
most valuable features of the Government's
work, and as such has been the object of more
or less solicitude. As a means of inducing the
experienced men of the Service to remain at
their posts the pension plan has been suggest-
ed, a plan good enough in itself, but lacking
the element of immediate interest for the men
concerned. An increase of pay, as proposed
by the resolution here quoted, would provide
a greater incentive to continued service than
would a mere promise of reward, the realization
of which must in the nature of things be re-
garded as a remote contingency. Besides, an in-
crease of pay would be more in line with the
requirements of justice to the Life-Savers.
Those who appreciate the valuable and heroic
work performed by the Life-Saving Service
can find no better means of expressing them-
selves than by supporting the proposition for
an increase of pay to the members of that
Service.
Judging by the number of papers which
have reprinted the "Speech That Was
Hissed," with indignant comment thereon
(that is, on the hissing episode), the gentle-
men who indulged themselves in a display of
their temper are in for a salutary lesson — the
lesson that the only way to silence an oppon-
ent is to treat him silently, that to hiss or
howl at a man is simply to make him heard.
The chief wonder in the circumstances is that
these gentlemen should need to be taught that
lesson.

Harbor of Refuge.
That the projecl to establish a harbor of
refuge on Keweenaw Point is impracticable
is the substance of a report made to the
United Stales Government by Major Charles
L. Potter, engineer in char'-:'' of the Duluth
district. After a thorough investigation in
which forty-one steamship, railway and in-
surance companies were requested for opinions
the result is that the proposal has aol mel
with the necessary favor of the persons m< st
directly interested.
The insurance companies were unanimous-
ly against the harbor project, declaring thai
it would cause more wrecks by reason of ves-
sels trying to make the entrance in a storm
than it' there were no harbor close to offer
refuge to vessels in distress.
The following is from the official report
of General .Mackenzie. Chief of Engineers,
who thus refers to .Major Potter's report:
"Major Potter reports that of the three
possible harbors that could be utilized Eor
the purpose in question, namely. Eagle har-
bor, Copper harbor and Lac La Belle, with
the hay at its entrance, the firsl named is too
small and the entrance too shallow to be con-
sidered: the second could be so improved as
to make it available for small vessels, and
could be made available for the large modern
lake steamers, while the third can now be
used for vessels drawing fourteen feet or less,
and if improved could be used for larger
ones, the bay at its entrance, namely. Bete
Grise Bay, could not be improved as a harbor
of refuge except at a cost out of proportion
to the benefits.
"It appeal's also from .Major Potter's re-
port that the sentiment among those interest-
ed is not united in favor of the establishment
of a harbor of refuge at the locality na d,
and that of two marine insurance companies
consulted by him. both strongly recommended
against such a harbor, one saying that ves-
sels should keep away from Keweenaw Point,
and the other that the presence of such a har-
bor would cause more wrecks in trying to
make it than would occur without it.
".Major Poller states that in the fall id' the
year and spring, when storms may be fre-
quently expected, almost all steamers take the
Portage Canal instead of attempting to pass
around Keweenaw Point, and that many use
the canal throughout Ihe season, while all
local freight and all passenger steamers use
that waterway. At the upper end of tin'
canal a harbor which serves the purpose of a
harbor of refuge has been established, and
in Major Potter's report the necessity for a
similar harbor at the lower end is urged.
"In forwarding Major Potter's report the
division engineer. Lieutenant-Colonel W. II.
Bixby, corps of engineers, says that he con-
siders a useful harbor of refuge close to the
end of Keweenaw Point impracticable at the
present time, costing many times as much as
it would be worth, and that he believes a har-
bor of refuge in the Portage Canal, near its
Keweenaw end, as suggested by .Major Pot-
ter, to be practicable, to lie well worth its cost,
and to be rapidly becoming an absolute ne-
cessity to navigation using the south shore of
Pake Superior in the vicinity of Keweenaw
Point, and enough to already justify and de-
mand its immediate construction."

the oldest shipmasters in active service on the
Lakes, died at Muskegon, Mich., recently.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Marine Notes.
Extensive repairs are being made on the
D. & C. passenger steamer City of Detroit at
Detroit. Her old main decks and bulwarks
have been ripped out and are being replaced
with new ones.
The Reid Wrecking Company has taken a
contract to release the steamer Argo, which
has been ashore at Holland, Mich., for a
month. The tugs Salvor and Diver have
gone to the stranded boat.
The crew of the steamer Jesse Spalding,
which came safely through the big Lake Su-
perior gale, were remembered at Buffalo by
Santa Claus. Captain, mates and engineer
received $20 each, and other members of the
crew $10 apiece.
The following officers have been elected by
the Tug Firemen and Seamen's Association
at Buffalo: President, Thomas Brunner; vice-
president, Thomas Nolan; secretary-treasur-
er, E. T. Fontaine; recording secretary,
James McLain; sergeant-at-arms, Ernest
Flenckner. The board of trustees will be
composed of the following: Thomas T. Mana-
man, George Hoefle and Charles Nash.
The old steamer Oregon is to be converted
into a tow-barge. The Oregon was built in
West Bay City, Mich., in 1882, and was a
double-decker. The Gilchrist Company
bought her, and after some years she was cut
down and sold for a lumber hooker. She is
now to be again cut down to a tow-barge.
She was 779 gross tons burden, 197 feet long,
33 feet beam, 13 feet 9 inches deep, and 400
horse-power. She carried a crew of twelve
men.
Comrades! Are you absolutely certain that
you have the correct number in your union
book? Drop into the nearest union office,
and ask the agent to look you up in the rec-
ord. The correct number is very necessary
for at least two reasons; you pay dues to the
wrong number and cause confusion, and you
may not get credit for it, thereby losing your
benefit in case of death or shipwreck. Look
this up !
One of the largest lumber deals in the his-
tory of the Northwest is on the eve of con-
summation, if it has not already been con-
cluded. Rumors that the Alger-Smith Lum-
ber Company, one of the largest operators in
the northern Minnesota timber country and
which employs hundreds of men in that State,
is about to dispose of all its extensive hold-
ings to the Hines Lumber Company are rife
among the officers of the various companies
and in the great logging camps in the woods.
The transfer of the property, which includes
contracts and deeds for thousands of acres of
land and millions of feet of timber, besides
all the logging and shipping equipment and
a private railroad line forty-five miles in
length, would involve a consideration of $7,-
000,000.

Unions and Efficiency.
Commenting editorially upon the efforts of
the Typographical unions to enforce their de-
mands for an eight-hour workday and the
"Closed Shop," the New York Times says:
If the unions insisted on a high standard of skill,
fidelity, and efficiency, and undertook to organize
all those who could and would conform to this stand-
ard, their case would be different. They would then
enjoy a certain natural monopoly, which would not be
complete, but would bo effective within large limits
and would justify itself. That, wo regret to say, is
not the principle on which most of the unions are con-
ducted.
Whatever may he said against the New
York Times on the score of its anti-trade-
onion sentiments, no one can justly accuse its
editorial writers of being either dense or more
than ordinarily ignorant. Hence it is as
justifiable as moral certainty can make it to
assume that in .stating the position of trade-
unions in general on the issue of membership
morale to be such as quoted above, the writer
has deliberately misrepresented the situation
by resorting to the simple ruse of the average
journalistic trickster — palming off a half-
truth. Every intelligent student of the labor
problem knows that the trade-unions would
be only too glad to establish "a high standard
of skill, fidelity and efficiency," and "to or-
ganize all those who could and would con-
form to this standard," but that they can
not do so without the co-operation of the em-
ployers. It is the latter, however, and not
the trade-unions, who are responsible for the
alleged low standard of skill and efficiency
which prevails in many trades at the present
time, since in their efforts to crush the trade-
unions the employers hire all the incompe-
tents which the trade-unions have so far bar-
red from membership. This, ' f course, is
well known to the New York Tiroes, but that
paper evidently does not deem it • \ecessary to
be just or truthful when discussing the affairs
of trade-unions.
At the regular weekly meeting of the At-
lantic Coast Marine Firemen's Union, held at
Headquarters, Brooklyn, N. Y., on December
27th, the following resolutions were read and
adopted :
Whereas, It is reported that all but five of the
United States Marine Hospitals are to be closed, and
the patients placed under contract in private institu-
tions, with no supervision by any regular surgeon of
the. United States Marine Hospital Service ; and
Whereas, Previous experience has taught us that we
are looked upon as paupers by a large number of pri-
vate institutions, and treated by them as such, and
made to feel that we are charity patients; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the Atlantic
Coast Marine Firemen's Union, respectfully, yet earn-
estly, protest against the proposed change, which we
understand is to be made in the interest of economy,
in our opinion already practiced to too great an ex-
tent in the Marine Hospital Service; and be it further
Resolved, That on behalf of seamen who are sick or
injured we petition Congress to continue to improve
t lie present United States Marine Hospital Service.
The trial of Captain "William Van Schaick,
formerly commander of the ill-fated steamer
General Slocum, began before Judge Thomas,
in the Federal Circuit Court, New York, on
January 10. Captain Van Schaick is charged
by the Government with negligence in the
performance of his duties as commander of
the Slocum, and a strong attempt will be made
by the District Attorney to obtain a convic-
tion. Indictments in connection with the
Slocum disaster are still pending against
Frank II. Barnaby, President of the Knicker-
bocker Steamship Company, and the directors
of that concern.
Fag Ends.
The duly "knowing chap" is he who can't
i'i nl himself.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall !
Giving a fair day's work for a fair day's
pay is a good brand of trade-unionism.
The proverbial "step from the sublime to
the ridiculous" is generally a cynicism born
of "the blues."
If every man had to practice all he preach-
es, preaching would soon be numbered among
the "lost arts."
It is usually the man who has been "done
good and plenty" who complains that there
is "nothin' doin'."
.Man will never be truly civilized until he
Learns to make his sentiments and prejudices
subservient to reason and justice.
The only law that is really "majestic" is
one that "plays no favorites." The other
kind are only solemn caricatures.
The latest platform of the Chinese reform
party, "China for the Chinese." is one which
all good Americans will cheerfully subscribe
to.
"Put. money in thy purse," said wise Ben
Franklin; but, like the good business man he
was, he discreetly refrained from telling us
whose money!
With all this unpleasant howling about
"graft," there is one supreme consolation in
being a multi-millionaire grafter; no power
in the land can put him in jail.
Nothing, perhaps, proves so well the prog-
ress we have made in civilization as the fact
that if a man can not acquire renown by
deeds he can purchase it with cash!
The popularity of the sport known as
"chasing the almighty dollar" is largely due
to the excitement created by the ever-present
danger of "getting caught" before "getting
there."
Any beast in the field will give the young
of his species an even chance in life, but it
lakes a man "created in the image of God"
to grow fat off the sweat of little children and
their mothers.
Nothing so weakens a poor man's faith in
Christianity as having it preached to him by
men who, if Christ is to be believed, can no
mi re enter into the Kingdom of God than a
camel can pass through the eye of a needle.
Out fitness as a people for self-government
is abundantly attested by our amenability to
reason whenever money "talks," and by our
patriotic faith in the venerable dictum, "The
voice of Mammon is the voice of God."
The Ocean Steamship Company, of Savan-
nah, Ga., has contracted with the Roach ship-
yard, Chester, Penn., for a new 6000-ton
steamer, to be completed next December.
She will be 396 feet over all, 49 feet beam,
and 35 feet deep ; and will be the largest ves-
sel trading on the Atlantic Coast.

NEW THOUGHT IN A. F. OF L.
Significant Suggestions and Rulings.
Is the Convention Supreme, or Merely Advisory?
IN certain important respects the Pittsburg conven-
tion of the American Federation of Labor was an
improvement upon its more immediate predecessors.
The "jurisdiction" question, for instance, was dealt
with in a manner that promises, if not a final settle-
ment, at least a material lessening of the acuteness
that has recently developed in that connection, which
result must of itself make for calm discussion and ul-
timate peace between the contending organizations.
The action of the convention in the three most import-
ant "jurisdiction" disputes — i. e., Seamen and Long-
shoremen, Plumbers and Steamfitters, and Carpenters
and Woodworkers — is not only more definite, but also
more in keeping with the generally accepted principles
of trade-unionism than any steps previously taken by
the Federation in these and other similar cases.
While the record of the Pittsburg convention in this
respect 13 gratifying and will go far to prove the suc-
cess of that gathering as a whole, certain incidents of
the occasion demand attention, as suggesting a new
trend of thought in the higher councils of organized
labor, one that may lead to important and possibly
harmful results. To specify: We are told that much
of the time expended by the American Federation of
Labor, its conventions and executive officers, in the
effort to settle the "jurisdiction" question is time
wasted; that, as to certain matters, the convention has
no power to instruct the Executive Council, and that
a requirement that the parties to a dispute must agree
to abide by the decision of the arbitrators is "com-
pulsory arbitration" and therefore contrary to the at-
titude of the Federation on the subject of arbitration
in general. It is quite clear that if these views shall
prevail as the confirmed judgment of the American
Federation of Labor, the general conception and plan
of that institution will have been changed. The Fed-
eration, from being a body designed to facilitate the
workings of its constituent parts, will have become a
body whose main function is to attitudinize before the
public, its conventions will have become mere ratifica-
tion meetings, and its "decisions" will haw In-come
so much diatribe which no one will be morally bound to
pay the slightest deference to. Before accepting these
views, it is well that the rank and file of the Federa-
tion should consider what they mean and whither they
lead.
First, as to the waste of time, or otherwise, in the
treatment of the "jurisdiction" question. The Ex-
ecutive Council, in its report, stated that much of its
time is now devoted to the effort at adjustment of
"jurisdiction" disputes, "which could be devoted to
other subjects calculated to be of greater advantage to
our fellow-workers and to our movement." The ques-
tion arises: What "other subjects" has the Execu-
tive Council in mind? We can conceive of no subject
of greater importance to the Federation and its officers
than that of the relations existing between the re-
spective affiliated bodies. We recognize no duty more
imperative than that of maintaining or restoring good
relations between the unions. We commonly hear
much talk on the part of delegates whose organizations
are happily enjoying peace with their fellow-workers,
derogatory of the delegates who are forced to fight on
the floor of the conventions for what they conceive to
be their rights — as though the latter were themselves
talking for the fun of the thing! The jurisdiction
"squabblers" are told that they should "go outside
and settle it, ' ' that they should ' ' wash their dirty linen
in private," and so forth. This sort of advice is not
only impracticable, but it implies either a serious mis-
understanding of the purposes and duties of the
American Federation of Labor or a desire to evade the
latter. "Jurisdiction" disputes are painful tilings —
as much so to the immediate participants as to thos^
who are called upon to act as jurymen — but they must
be squarely met. Undoubtedly the conventions of the
Federation would be more harmonious if their delib-
erations were confined to public affairs, say to the dis-
cussion of resolutions on this, that and the other topic
of general interest. There are many things of more
general importance, but there is no thing of more im-
mediate importance than this thing of settling, or
trying to settle, the disputes that arise between the or-
ganizations in the Federation. This, indeed, is what
the Federation was designed for and what it is main-
tained for. At any rate, the continued usefulness
of the Federation will depend upon the degree of its
loyalty to that object. Should the Federation decide
that organizations now or hereafter involved in "jur-
isdiction" disputes must "go outside and settle it,"
the organizations in question, having settled it, will
probably remain outside. Further, those delegates who
now so loudly deprecate the injection of "jurisdic-
tion" disputes in the conventions of the American
Federation of Labor should be warned that in any such
process of settlement "outside," they are likely to
find their own organizations settled "inside "—that
is, inside of some other organization.
The question as to the power of the convention to
instruct the Executive Council arose in connection witli
the recommendation of the Committee on Organiza-
tion, that a charter be granted to the Steamfitters. A
point of order was raised, that the Constitution (Art.
XIV, Sec. 1) vests in the Executive Council the sole
power to grant charters. The point was sustained by
President Compere. An appeal was taken from the
latter 'a decision, and he was upheld by a. vote of 118
to 50. On the face of things this action supersedes
the time-honored belief that, the convention is the su-
preme body iif He Federation. If the ruling of Presi-
dent Gompers in this matter be sound, there remains
ion as I., how far the powers of the con
vention are limited in other matters. Does the conven-
tion retain any power at all — that B, any power that is
worth the time and expense inclined in its exercise?
Judged bj ordinary conceptions, the ruling made by
President Gompers is remarkable, to say the least,
ntes the Executive Council, not the con-
vention, the chief authority in Federation affairs.
Judged by the Constitution itself, that ruling is even
more remarkable. The language of the Article in
question is clear, but no more so than its intent. That
Article reads as follows: "Certificates of affiliation
shall be granted by the President of the Federation,
by and with the consent of the Executive Council, to
all national and international unions and local bodies
affiliated with this Federation. ' '
Obviously this is a necessary grant of power to be
used between conventions, not, as President Compere
has ruled, to be used as against the express will of the
convention itself. To construe the Constitution in any
other light is to make the convention ridiculous, to
make it, in fact, a mere advisory body. If the general
membership of the Federation be satisfied to accept
this view of the situation, it is in order to suggest that
its advice may be conveyed to the Executive Council
by some means less expensive in time, temper and
money than that involved in the annual pilgrimage of
several hundred delegates.
As to the alleged implication of "compulsion" in
the proposal that organizations shall bind themselves
to abide by the decision of an arbitrator, the objection
based upon the ground that such a proposal i3 "com-
pulsory arbitration" seems rather far-fetched. Com-
pulsory arbitration is a well-understood institution
that is opposed, and rightly so, for many reasons, not
one of which has the slightest bearing upon the pro-
posal of the Federation. In the view of the latter,
arbitration, to be worthy the name, must be voluntary.
Of course. But of what use is an arbitration tribunal
unless it be understood that its decisions shall be re-
spected? Assuming the arbitration board to he rightly
composed and its judgment justly determined, what
fear need any organization have concerning the re-
sults? Moreover, assuming that, should the judgment
prove to be contrary to the evidence adduced, the or-
ganization aggrieved retains the right of appeal to
the convention, wherein lies the risk of injustice? It,
is precisely because compulsory arbitration, as
commonly understood, proceeds contrary to these as-
sumptions that organized labor is opposed to that in-
stitution. In a word, the difference between the ar-
bitration to which the organizations in the Federation
are asked to pledge themselves and compulsory arbi-
tration is that in the former instance the contestants
reserve the right of appeal upon moral grounds, (that
is, they are only morally, not, legally, bound to obedi-
ence), while in the latter instance the contestants are
bound to submit upon physical grounds. On the whole,
it seems likely that those who are responsible for rais
ing the compulsory arbitration bugaboo in the conven-
tion of the American Federation of Labor have per
mitted their fears of that institution to becloud their
power of discrimination between that which the labor
movement may do by and with its own advice and con-
sent and that which its enemies would force it to do
against its own judgment and for its own destruction.
It is significant that these expressions of new thought
in the American federal ion of Labor emanate from
the older and most conservative, doI to say authoritat-
ive, element of that body. The point of order against
the right of the convention in instruct the Executive
Council was raised by a member of the latter and re-
ceived the support of othei memberi of the Council
The charge thai the time Spent in the "jurisdiction"
matter is time wasted was made by the Executive
Council in its official capacity, while the objections to
the alleged system of "<■■ arbitration" were
also raise, 1 by members of the Council. To mention
another instance of the same tendency, Hie Pittsburg
Convention was informed upon Die same authority that
the charters of offending unions will not be revoked by
Hie Executive Council, notwithstanding any instruc-
tions by the convention, unless such instructions con
form to the judgment of the Council itself. The posi-
tion thus assumed by the Executive Council and by the
members thereof may or may not be right and proper.
The important point at present is that that position is
• 0 entirely new one and should therefore be thoroughly
understood before being taken for granted.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
Casson on Chinese.
Herbert N. Casson states, more succinctly
than they have ever been stated before, the
reasons why the Chinese should continue to be
excluded He numbers them and has twenty
such reasons to print. Any one of them would
itself be final, as the following list will show:
1. They do not come here to be American
citizens, but to form Chinese colonies.
2. They do not come to America to escape
from oppressive governments, but to make
money and go hack again.
3. The greater part of them come here as
the chattels of a Chinese emigration company.
and are slaves of that company while they
remain here.
4. They refuse to adopt American customs
or to live up to the American standard of
morality.
5. They outnumber us five or six to .me.
and might overrun the United States just as
they have overrun several of the countries of
Asia.
6. They have room enough in China which
has only ninety-seven to the square mile, while
New York State has 126.
7. Their main endeavor is to get u ey
to send back to China. In four and a half
years they sent $50,000,000 out of the country.
8. In California, where Chinese immigra-
tion has been fairly tried, it has proved a
failure. "Chinatown is the rankest growth
of human degradation in America.'* said the
Government Commission of 1885.
9. When Chinatown, in San Francisco.
was officially investigated it was found to con-
tain thirteen joss houses. 150 barricaded
gambling dens and 10G disorderly houses. All
this in a population of 30,000.
10. Repeated failures have proved that it
is impossible to teach the Chinese to obey
sanitary regulations.
11. As a citizen, the Chinaman is the worst
possible. At a time when the Chinese were
one-sixth of the population in California they
paid only one four-hundredth of the taxa-
tion.
12. The expense of maintaining order in
San Francisco's Chinatown in 1885 cost $12.-
000, more than the total amount it paid in
taxes.
13. It is impossible to admit the Chinaman
and keep out the opium joint. This reason
alone would he sufficient to justify exclusion.
14. The Chinaman lowers the standard of
wages and of living in every trade he enters.
15. Where the Chinese are numerous they
refuse to work with Americans and seek to
intimidate and terrorize them.
16. The Chinese never assimilate. "I
have lived in California for thirty years and
I have seen no change in the Chinaman." said
a witness before the Government Commission.
17. "When a vote was taken in California
in 1879, 154,638 voted for exclusion and only
883 against
18. The Chinese might prove as destruct-
ive to our republic as the Goths and I Inns
and Vandals were to the Roman empire.
19. It is too -teat a leap for the Chinese.
who are the most backward of all peoples, to
come at once to the United States, the mist
progressive of all countries. If the Chi
must come here, let them do so via Russia.
Austria, Germany and England, spending at
least 1,000 years in each of these countries.
20. The highest duty of man is to preserve
and develop what is highest in the world.
From the American point of view, nothing is
higher than our twentieth century civilization.
based on science, commerce, invention and
rudimentary democracy. To throw the doors
wide open to 420,000,000 people who hale and
despise this civilization would greatly hamper
us in working out the still greater problems
of the future and perhaps destroy the val-
uable results of the past 2,000 years.
Vancouver Asiatic Schools.
United States Consul Dudley, of Vancou-
ver, B. C, reports thai a movement has been
started by the Japanese to provide schools in
which their own language shall be taught.
There are several hundred Japanese employed
in and about the city, many of whom have
families. As many of these people expect to
return to Japan, they are anxious that their
children shall acquire a knowledge of their
own language. The Consul writes:
The Japanese here are engaged in raising
funds to establish a school in which their
children shall be taught by teachers id' their
own race. Something more than $3000 has
already been subscribed, and a lot of land is
to lie secured and a suitable building will be
erected as soon as the fund becomes sufficient.
'I'he Japanese laboring man seems to he a
eheerful and liberal giver in proportion to his
means. During the Russo-Japanese war the
Japanese laboring here in saw mills, togging
camps, and at other employments for small
pay, contributed many thousands of dollars
to the cause to which they stood ready to give
their lives should they be called to return
home and enter the army. These poor labor-
ing men seid $10,000 as a contribution to the
war fund by the first steamship that lefl here
after war was declared.
There is little doubt that the funds re-
quired to establish the school will soon be ac-
cumulated; a lirst-class Japanese scl 1 will
then be opened in this city. Many Japanese
children attend the public schools and show
meat aptitude in acquiring the English lan-
guage and in their studies generally. Whether
these children will remain in the public
schools, attending the Japanese school at
night, or whether they will give up the pub-
lic school in favor of their own, remains to
be Seen.
The Consul further reports that the exec-
utive "f Chinese Umpire Reform Association,
at a meeting recently held in Vancouver, de-
cided that Chinese schools should be estab-
lished in all the large cities of Canada and,
that Chinese children shall be trained in their
own language, as well as to its history and
mythology. To this end it is proposed ti
maintain a number of Chinese teachers in
each of the large cities.
Trade Schools in Saxony.
During the past five years the number of
trade-continuation schools in Saxony has been
increased by 10, so that now tin- total num-
ber is 46. 'I'he number of pupils attending
these schools is 9139. Twenty-six of the
schools were founded by different associa-
tions, 15 by school organizations, 4 by trade-
unions, and 1 by a private person. The
school in Chemnitz has the largesl attendance,
namely. 14G0 pupils. Five hundred teachers
in these schools have other occupations, such
as teaching in the public schools, etc. The
contingent expenses in 1904 amounted to
$52,000. Of this sum $18,000 was raised
through tuition and matriculation fees, $11.-
000 from differenl cities, and $8,860 from the
Slate.
New Ocean Line.
United states Consul-General A. I,. M.
Gottschalk, of Callao, reports facts, in addi-
tion to these previously reported by him. re-
garding the establishment of a Peruvian line
of mail and passenger steamships between
Callao and the Canal Zone. A meeting was
held on November 15 in the private office ol
the President of the Republic, the ministers
of treasury and marine being in attendance,
at which a Peruvian company for merchant
marine traffic on the coast, between Guayaquil
and Valparaiso, which will also establish a
fortnightly direct, mail service between Callao
and Panama (by means of a 20-knol vessel),
was duly organized. The company will also
construct a 12,000-tOH floating dock at Callao.
where the present Boating dock is both anti-
quated and inadequate to the needs of the
port. It is to have a capital of 500,000 lihras
($2,435,000 United States currency), of which
one-half is subscribed in cash and the other
in bonds.
'fie company will enjoy a Governmenl sub-
sidy of 30,000 Libras annually ($146,100
United States currency), which is guaran-
teed by a mortgage on certain internal-reve-
nue taxes. It is understood that the new
company enjoys no monopoly rights on the
eeast. lull will work in conjunction with
i iher steamship lines at present existing.
is. however, every reasion to suppose
thai its operations will cause an appreciable
lowering in the exorbitant passenger and
Ereighl rates at present in vogue on this
coast. The uew company will have in its serv-
ice four modern and up-to-date cargo and
passenger ships of 2.000 tons burden each.
The Governmenl also places at its disposal
the Peruvian transports Iquitos and Const i-
tucion 'the former is a 2083-ton steamer de-
scribed in my dispatch, unnumbered, of
March 24, 1905; the latter, an older vessel of
ill,- Peruvian navy), with the proviso that at
any moment nl' public need these two ships
must be returned to the Government.
The Peruvian Congress has still to pass
upon the contrael between the Governmenl
and the new company, whose terms, further
than the abstract given above, have not been
made public; but no congressional opposition
is expected, as the new venture fills a long-
fell want.
'I'he Stale Department was also advised of
fhe organization of the Peruvian National
Steamship Company by Mr. Richard R. .Will.
lary of legation at Lima.
The textile workmen arc the most poi rly
paid in Germany. Since 1899 the wages have
risen somewhat, but it is doubtful if the ad-
vance lias kepi pace with the ever-increasum
price of foodstuffs, especially meat. 'Hie
strikes of recent years have caused manufac-
turers to organize for mutual protection, as
they saw their interests threatened by the
growing power of labor organizations. Or-
ganized labor in Germany to-day comprises
1.250.iK)0 members : 1,052,000 at tin'
of 1904, an increase ( f is. 5 per cent
since last year. Since 1894 the organization
jrown to five times its size. Adding to
the above other labor unii us. the total num-
ber was l.5()o.(:oo in 1904, i r 13 per cent
more than in 1903.
It is said that 800,000 domestic animals.
valued at $6,000,000, arc slain by wolves every
year in the Russian empire.

A Jtist Decision.
A decision of much importance to seamen
was rendered on January 6, by the United
States District Court, Eastern District of New
York, in the case of Fred Belzer vs. The
Schooner Percis A. Colwell. The particulars
are in "brief, as follows:
Fred Belzer, the libelant, who is a member
of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union, ship-
ped as an able seaman on the Colwell, on Feb-
ruary 11, 1905, to make a trip from New York
to Gulfport, Miss., via Tampa, Fla., and re-
turn to New York, at the rate of $2;") per
month. On the way to Tampa he was, without
any fault either on his part or the vessel's,
injured by a fall.
Upon the arrival of the vessel at Tampa he
was sent to a hospital, where he remained five
days, after which he returned on board to his
work and proceeded on the voyage to Gulf-
port. At Gulfport he was again disabled by
his previous injuries. He thereupon entered
into negotiations with the master of the vessel
for his discharge, and payment of wages earn-
ed up to that time. The master agreed to dis-
charge him, whereupon the two parties went
before the Shipping Commissioner at Gulf-
port to sign clear according to law. At the
office of the Commissioner the master refused
to allow Belzer wages for the five days he had
been in the hospital at Tampa. Instead, he
paid Belzer $5 on account, and deposited with
the Commissioner $19.16, the remainder of
his wages to that date, March 24th, less the
time lost through sickness at Tampa. Belzer
was too sick to make an effectual remonstrance
against this injustice, so he took the $5 offered
by the master on account and paid his own
fare to New Orleans, where he entered a hos-
pital to have his injuries attended to. lie
remained in the hospital at New Orleans until
April 20th, when he returned to Gulfport,
where he learned that the Colwell had sailed
for New York. As he was still too sick to
go to sea, and was destitute of funds, he ac-
cepted, under protest, the sum deposited with
the Commissioner by the master of the Col-
well. Belzer thereupon returned to New Or-
leans, re-entered the hospital, and was finally
discharged as "cured" on May 8th. On the
same day he paid his passage on a steamer go-
ing to New York, where he arrived on May
15th. There he told his story to the local
agent of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union,
with the result that a libel on his behalf was
brought against the schooner Percis A. Col-
well to recover wages and extra moneys due
the seaman.
In its decision the Court, after reviewing
the facts above recited, sums up as follows:
The libelant did give the (Shipping) Commissioner
a receipt in full, but the receipt recited thai it was
for wages up to a certain date, to-wit, April 10, L905,
which, in fact, was untrue, as it did not include wages
for the five days at Tampa, which the libelant was
entitled to receive. The master was trying to coerce
the seaman to take less than his legal due, and intend
ed to make his receipt of the $19.16 dependent upon
a renunciation of rights. But his plan failed in the
legal effect intended. Hence the libelant may recover
his maintenance and wages for the entire voyage, the
balance being $38.34; also expenses incident to reach
ing the hospital and expenses of cure (The Osceola,
189 U. S., 158). This would cover fare from Gulf
port to New Orleans, $2.03, and maintenance at New
Orleans. He may also recover expenses of transports
tion to New York, which were $20.00; maintenance
awaiting departure for New York, ^2.50, and en
route, $2.50. (Brnnent vs. Taber, 1 Sprague, 243;
Callon vs. Williams, 2 Lowell, 1; The Centennial, lo
Fed., 397; The W. L. White, 2.') Fed., 503; The
Natchez, 73 Fed., 207; Harvey vs. Smith, 35 Fed., 3(57;
Worth vs. Steamboat Lioness No. 2, 3 Fed., 928.)
The proctors for the libelant were Abbott
and Coyne, and for the owners of the Colwell,
Pierre M. Brown. A check for the amount of
damages awarded Comrade Belzer by the
Court has already been forwarded to Abbott
and Coyne by the owners of the Colwell, and
is now awaiting his arrival from sea. Aside
from the importance to seamen of this de-
cision, the case of Comrade Belzer is partic-
ularly interesting and instructive, as showing
the kind of "protection" seamen may expect
from Shipping Commissioners in ports where
the Seamen's Union has no representative to
compel these officials to do their sworn duty.
It is not contended here that all Shipping
Commissioners are as remiss in their duties
and indifferent to the rights of seamen as the
Commissioner at Gulfport evidently is; but
it is a rather curious fact, although well
known to seamen, that about the only ports
where seamen can get fair play in their deal-
ings with the local Shipping Commissioners
are those where the Seamen's Union main-
tains agencies. But, as we are gradually drift-
ing toward a bureaucratic form of govern-
ment, reform of this particular evil need hard-
ly be expected by seamen.
According to the last quarterly bulletin of
the New York State Commissioner of Labor,
the first nine months of 1905, were more than
ordinarily prosperous for labor in nearly all
the important industries of that State. At
the end of September, the ratio of unemploy-
ed to employed wage-earners was smaller than
at any corresponding date in the last five
years. The number of wage-earners who were
reported idle on account of "slack trade" was
only 11,525 as against 21,718 in 1904, while
the number reported -idle on account of labor
disputes was 1,876 as contrasted with 10,593
a year ago. The favorable showing indicated
by these figures is mainly due to the unprec-
edented activity in the building industries of
the State. For instance, the estimated cost of
projected buildings in New York City in the
third quarter of 1905, was $81,140,245 as
against $43,006,547 for the corresponding
quarter of 1904. The significance of these fig-
ures may be comprehended when it is known
that the aggregate cost of buildings author-
ized in New York City never has exceeded
$170,000,000 in an entire year.
There are to-day in Southern mills some
(ill, (KH) children under the age of fourteen
years, working from ten to fourteen hours a
day, besides being compelled to work over-
time on alternate nights. Four years ago the
number of children thus employed in that
■■eel inn was only 24,000. These figures will
no doubt he pointed to "with pride" by some
of our patriotic trust dailies, as affording ir-
refutable proof that the South is "making
great industrial progress," and is annexing
;i lair share of our on-tap-for-all "national
prosperity." But, then, as a people, we no
longer seem to have any intelligence to he
insulted.
With the railroads cutting oil' Eree posses,
and the insurance companies abolishing lob-
bies, it will hardly pay an industrious citizen
to be a legislator.
The Subsidy Grab.
The longer one lives and studies human
nature the more undecided he becomes in his
estimates of the progress which the race is
generally supposed to have made in historical
times. It is now nineteen hundred years since
Christ said that there are none so blind as
those who will not see, and that dictum is as
true to-day as it was then. Take the matter
of ship subsidies, for instance. Every pro-
subsidy organ in the land sees it in but one
light — that although the ocean offers a great
and productive field for the investment of our
surplus capital, we can not take advantage of
it unless we fight our maritime rivals with
their own weapons: that is, with Government
subventions. It never by any possibility oc-
curs to these patriotic sheets that, our Protect-
ive tariff places the Steel Trust in a position
to say to our shipowners and shipbuilders:
"No subventions, no ships." And that is
practically what the Steel Trust is saying —
and doing — and that man must be destitute of
reasoning powers who can not see that the
Government subventions asked by our ship-
owners will be essentially in the nature of a
tax paid by the people to the Steel Trust for
permission to own and operate a foreign-go-
ing merchant marine. Of course, all this and
much more of the same kind has been thresh-
ed out in the press and elsewhere over and
over again. But, now that the agents of the
Steel Trust shipyards are more than usually
busy trying to sneak the Gallinger subvention
measure through Congress, the self -same old
arguments are trotted out and arrayed in its
support with as much nonchalance as though
none of them had ever been refuted. In fact,
the unwavering persistency of the Steel
Trust ship-subsidy hunters brings to mind
the old copybook precept, "if at first you
don't succeed, try, try again." They are no
doubt aware of the dangerous weakness of
human nature, owing to which every scheme,
however villainous, borrows respectability
from age and financial associations. Therefore,
it is one of the three best bets of this decade
that we will soon be paying tribute to the
Steel Trust in the form of ship subventions.
The transatlantic steamship companies
have for years been threatening to divert the
greater part of their business from New York
to Staten Island or Jersey City, because of the
unreasonably high dock z-entals in New York.
The first company to carry out its threats is
the French line, which the other day purchas-
ed a waterfront property on Staten Island
having a frontage of 1,500 feet, on which a
large freight station and piers will be erected.
This transaction is viewed with considerable
apprehension by those who are pecuniarily or
otherwise interested in the supremacy of New
York as a. maritime center, ;is it undoubtedly
foreshadows a general movement of shipping
toward Staten Island and New Jersey.
Chairman Shouts, of the Panama Canal
Commission, tearfully testified before the Sen-
ate Appropriation Committee that, the Labor-
ers on the canal "'work just when tiny please,
and can not he made to clo otherwise." Mr.
Shonls is evidently a hard boss to please.

The Japanese Steamship Company (Nippon Yusen
Kaisha) is ready to resume fortnightly service across
the Pacific with the steamers Kanagawa and Shinano.
The French ship Biarritz arrived at San Francisco
on January 18, 170 days from Cardiff, Eng. Four
members of the crew were stricken with scurvy during
the passage.
The schooner Falcon, from Ventura, Cal., for Gray 'a
Harbor, Wash., put into San Francisco on January 15
to land Captain Sanberg, who was stricken with blind-
ness on the passage.
The schooner Roy Somers, Captain Silem, which ar-
rived at Aberdeen, Wash., on January 14, reports the
loss of Mate D. Jacobsen by drowning on the 11th.
Jacobsen was 32 years of age.
The schooner Advance, which recently went ashore
near Bandon, Or., has been floated and after tempo-
rary repairs at the latter port, will sail for San Fran-
cisco with a cargo of lumber.
An increase of over 500 per cent on the average and
from 400 to 1000 per cent in individual cases, has been
made in the Provincial tax levies for 1906 against sal-
mon canneries on the Frazer River, B. C.
The steam-schooners Brooklyn and Phoenix arrived
at San Francisco on January 17, towing the disabled
steam-schooner Brunswick. The Brunswick was dis-
abled in a heavy gale off the Mendocino coast.
The schooner Matthew Turner of San Francisco was
towed into Klannich Harbor, on Vancouver Island, on
January 18, by the steamer Queen City, having been
picked up by the. latter in a distressed condition.
The tug Tatoosh, Captain Charles Bailey, left As-
toria, Or., on January 19, with the French bark David
d 'Angers in tow for Port Townsend, Wash., where the
latter was due by midnight of the 20th to save her
charter.
The owners of the Danish ship Copley have filed
suit in the United States District Court at San Fran-
cisco to recover from the G. W. McNear Company $307
for delay in loading the Copley and $1,165 for freight
charges.
The whaling schooner Gotama is about to be fitted
out for a cruise to Okhotsk Sea after the right whale.
The Gotama is now in Oakland Creek, San Francisco
Bay, but will be able to sail by the middle of the
coming month.
The Senate Committee on Commerce has favorably
reported the Perkins bill providing for light and fog
signal stations at Carquinez Straits, Red Rock and
Point Cabrillo, a light-keeper's house at Point Bonita
and a lighthouse tender for Hawaiian waters.
The Oceanic liner Zealandia, which was recently
sold to an Eastern steamboatman, who will use her to
tow the steamer Olympia to Boston, was brought to
San Francisco from Martinez on January 10. The
Zealandia will be used in the Atlantic Coast trade.
The Senate Committee on Commerce has reported a
substitute for the bill making San Luis Obispo and
Monterey, Cal., subports of entry. The substitute pro-
vides for an official at each port with authority to en-
ter and clear vessels under the jurisdiction of the San
Francisco Collector of Customs.
Advices have been received of an attempted raid
made upon the seal rookeries of Copper Island, now
guarded by Japanese patrols, by a Japanese scaling
schooner, with several American sealers in her crew.
William Dewett, formerly of San Francisco, was shot
three times by the guards on shore.
The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company has
libeled the French bark Jean Baptiste for towage into
Astoria. Her consignees, Samuel Elmore & Co., filed
a general average bond to cover the claim. The Jean
Baptiste was towed from a dangerous position by the
libelant's tugs on December 29.
A telegram received at San Francisco on January IS
reported that the German ship Kalliope, from Ham-
burg for Sydney, had put into Funchal, Madeira, on
January 17, and landed the crew of tin- Norwegian
ship Servia, bound from Newport for Pensacola, which
had been abandoned at sea on January U.
The E. K. Wood Lumber Company, the Holmes In-
vestment Company and fifty others, owners of the

disabled condition by the Shasta.
The American ship W. H. Mary, from Tacoma,
Wash., for Vancouver, B. C, has put into Port An-
geles on Puget Sound, with her jib-boom carried away
and her stem split, acording to a telegram received at
San Francisco on January ID. The Macy was in colli-
sion with a tugboat, but her injuries did not result in
United States District Judge J. J. de Haven, at San
Francisco on January 18, denn d the petition of United
States Attorney Devlin to h;< a pecial venire of
iurymen impaneled for the trial of 1.'. H. Tyson, W. J.
Woodside and W. J. Wood, shipping men. indicted on
the charge of helping i:mu a... I equip Captain Alex
McLean's vessel, the Carmencita, for illegal sealing in
northern waters.
The oil steamer Whitticr, after delivering a cargo
at Vancouver, B. C, went to Port Townsend, Wash.,
on January 5, and, after changing her register, pro-
ceeded on her way to Port Harford by way of ban
Francisco. Although the stop there was materially
out of her course and consumed nearly a day, Captain
Dixon felt that it, would be more economical to pro-
ceed this way, as through papers he now sails under
he will avoid the necessity of paying pilotage demands
The Commercial Assurance Company of London has
filed in the United States District Court at San Fran-
cisco, a libel against the Pacific Mail Steamship Com-
pany on account of cargo lost in the wreck of the
steamer Rio de Janeiro, in this harbor on February 22,
1901. The cargo belonged to Ames & Harris, and was
insured for $18,500, which sum the plaintiff was com-
pelled to pay, and which is asked for, with interest
from time of payment.
It is reported that another steamship line, and one
of the largest in the world, will be running directly
from San Pedro and Los Angeles, and a battle royal
between the transcontinental railroads and this com-
pany will be waged for the control of the freight
traffic between the East and West when the contract
between the Hawaii-American Steamship Company and
the Tehuantepec National Railway goes into effect on
July 1 of this year.
Master Electrician George E. Hanseome of the
Mare Island Navy Yard ha.s gone to install the new
wireless station at Point Arguello, which is situated
in Santa Barbara county. This is the first of the new
stations to be completed which were authorized by the
Navy Department last year. Eventually stations will
be established at intervals of 200 miles from Point
Loma, at San Diego, the extreme southern point on
the California coast, to Puget Sound and Bremerton
Navy Yard.
Searching investigation into the reported ill-treat-
ment of whaling seamen by ships ' officers was begun
at San Francisco on January is before United Slates
Shipping-Commissioner C. F. Bassett at the instance
of President Roosevelt. While the present inquiry is
directed against the whaling bark John and Winthrop,
Captain W. T. Shorey, and the officers of that vessel,
it will be far-reaching in scope if the charges made by
a member of the crew of that vessel are sustained. In
such case wholesale prosecutions by the Government
will probably result.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on January 21 : British ship Drumeraig, 122
days from Astoria for Manila, 50 per cent. British
bark Ednyfed, 115 days from Trapani for Gloucester,
20 per cent. British ship St. Mary 's Bay, sixty-five
days from London for New York, 10 per cent. British
ship Cumberland, 145 days from Iquique for Hamburg,
5 per cent. British ship Mobile Bay, 192 days from
New York for Formosa, 10 per cent. British ship Pass
of Balmaha, 144 days from Montevideo for Salina
Cruz, 20 per cent.
The long overdue British ship King David, which
was 116 days out of Salina Cruz for Puget Sound, and
which was given up long ago for lost by insurance
people, went ashore on the Vancouver Island coast at
Bajo Point on December 13. Eighteen of the survi-
vors were picked up by the steamer Queen City on
January 15. Donald McLeod, the sailmaker, died from
exposure on the day following the rescue. First-Mate
A. Wallstrom and six men, who went to Cape Beale
for assistance, have not since been heard of, and it is
feared that they have been lost.
The old steamer Barracouta, owned by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, arrived at San Francisco on
January 17, after an eventful voyage to the North
and the Siberian coast, under command of Captain
Curtis. The Barracouta was chartered by the Barne-
son-Hibberd Company some months ago to take a
cargo of merchandise to the Siberian coast, but before
making a landing was captured by the Japanese scouts
and taken to a Japanese port. Later the Barracouta
was released, the war with Russia having been prac-
tically ended at the time of the steamer 's capture.
In the United States District Court at San Fran-
cisco on January 5, Sudden & Christenson, owners of
the steamer Chehalis, filed a libel against the steamer
City of Puebla for the sum of $100,000, claimed as
salvage for picking up the Puebla on December 31 at
a point twenty miles west of Tillamook Rock, Oregon,
and towing the disabled vessel to San Francisco. The
complaint states that the Norwood, also owned by the
libelant, assisted in the tow and that the hawsers were
cut so that a new hold could be taken, at which time
I he tugboat Relief came in between the Puebla and
the vessels towing her, and, making fast to the Puebla,
brought her into port. The value of the City of
Puebla is stated by the libelants to be $500,000, and
her cargo and passenger and freight money $95,000.

United States Consul-General Guenther, of
Frankfort, furnishes the following interesting
report on the condition of the labor market in
Germany compared with the preceding year:
The condition of the German labor market
during October, 1905, shows a strong improve-
ment over October, 1904, and also over Sep-
tember of the present year. In October, 1904,
the unfavorable situation in the coal-mining
districts and in the iron industry depressed the
labor market. Business in many textile dis-
tricts was also unsatisfactory and traffic at the
seaports was dull. These unfavorable condi-
tions do not exist now. While last year there
were 130.9 applicants for each 100 vacancies,
the number in October, 1905, was only 112.2.
The favorable condition of the labor market in
the great industrial centers is mainly due to
the market improvement in the iron and steel
and in the metal and machinery branches.
The number of employes during the year has
increased in these from month to month and
the fall business has received orders which
guarantee a continuation of these conditions
for a longer time.
In all the establishments which manufacture
material for the army and navy work is plen-
tiful. The Krupp works at Essen has received
orders which require many of the working-
men to work overtime, although the force has
been greatly increased. The shipbuilding
yards are also very busy and the number of
workmen had to be increased, especially at
the Imperial shipyards at Kiel. In the cen-
ters of the machinery factories in Rhenish
Westphalia, as well as in Saxony, business is
satisfactory.
The small ironware industry has seldom
seen such good times as last October. The
building trade continues to be well employed,
which was not the case last year at this time.
In many places there was even a lack of work-
men in the building branch. A strong demand
for unskilled labor was especially noticeable
at Hamburg, Berlin, Charlottenburg, Leipzig,
Ludwigshafen, etc., and although the wages
ruled high many foreigners had to be em-
ployed. The conditions in the textile branches
at Bielefeld, Barmen, Munchen-Gladbach, and
Aix-la-Chapelle were much improved over last
year. In the great seaports the demand for la-
bor has been large, and at Hamburg the sup-
ply was frequently inadequate to the demand.
( ■nmplaints as to the lack of domestic servants
are heard everywhere, even in the small cities.

the United States Navy, is now practicing marine law

A new million-dollar steamship line for
Toronto is one of the developments of the big
grain crop in the Northwest. The promoters
have accepted bids for two steamers al a cost
each of $150,000 and advertised For bids for
two more. The company will be known as
the Mathews Steamship Company. The ten-
ders stipulate that two ships shall be ready
to cross the ocean next May. Besides these,
two others are wanted for next season. The
head office of the company will be at Toronto.
The steamers will be of full canal size. They
will carry general freight from Montreal to
Fort William and call a1 Toronto on their
westward (rips.

THE MA XX IXC SCALE.
Whereas, There is now pending in the United States
Senate a bill (S. 27) relating to the complement of
crews of vessels, which bill in substance provides that
"no steamer carrying passengers foe hike shall depart
from any port unless she shall have in Iter service a
full complement of licensed officers ami crew, ONI-
I1A1.F OP WHICH SHALL BE ABLE SEAMEN sufficient at
all times to manage the vessel, including the proper
number of watchmen"; and
Whereas. The said bill is radically defective tot- the
reasons, first, that it does not specify the qualifications
of the able-seaman, lacking which specification the
measure would be of no force or effect : secondly, it
would practically authorize the mantling of vessels with
landsmen to the extent of one-half of their deck crews,
thus actually lowering the present inefficient standard;
thirdly, it would place upon the Local Inspectors of
Steam Vessels the responsibility for the manning of
vessels, thus absolving the shipowner from all liability
for damages caused by inefficient manning; therefore,
be it
Resolved, By the Sailors' Union of (he Pacific, that
we disapprove said bill (S. 27) and urge that it be not
passed; further
Resolved, That we renew our request lot- the enact-
ment of the amendment passed by the Semite .luting
the last session of the 58th Congress, to wit:
"Provided that, except in the case of steamers navi-
gating rivers exclusively, at least 75 per cent, of the
deck crew, exclusive of licensed officers, shall be in.li
vidunlly effective hands — that is, of a rating not less
than able-seaman; and no one shall be signed as an
able-seaman unless he shall be nineteen or more years
of age and shall have served at least three years on
deck at sea or on the Croat Lakes."
The bill referred to by these resolutions is
ostensibly designed to improve the character
of steamers' crews. In practice it would de-
stroy whatever value may exist in the present
system of manning. To say that those re-
sponsible for the bill do not realize this would
be to flatter their morals at the expense of
their intelligence. The terms of the bill are
so ridiculous, so simple, as to be beyond com-
prehension except upon the hypothesis that its
authors are absolutely lacking in the sense of
humor. When it is declared that one-half of
a vessel's crew shall be able-seamen it is in-
ferred, of course, that the other half may be
tinkers, tailors or anything else. Thus the
moral, and in some instances legal effect of
the bill would be to reduce the number of able-
seamen now employed. But that is not the
worst of it. The trouble is not so much that
the bill provides that crews shall be only one-
hall' able-seamen, but that it doesn't provide
i or any able-Seamen at all. What is an able-
seaman? What are the qualifications of the
able-seaman as to age, experience, etc.? The
bill in question is silent upon the subject: so
Ear as that subject is concerned the qualifica-
tions of able-seaman and ploughman may bo
exactly the same! The bill puts it up In the
Local Inspectors to judge the requirements as
to manning. Every one knows what that
means. It means that the Local Inspectors, act-
ing partly from choice ami partly from com-
pulsion, will agree to whatever terms may be
dictated by the shipowners. Local Inspectors
are but human, and their jobs are none ton se
cure in these days of the Big Stick and the
Sharp Axe.
It were the supreinest folly to look for firm
and conscientious, not to say intelligent, ac-
tion on the part of the Local Inspectors in
their dealings with the powers that control the
maritime industry, since even the maritime
authorities in the United States Senate seem
unable to stand up for a law that will say
what it means and mean what it says.
Senate Bill 27 contains other defects which
indicate clearly the intention that it shall be
absolutely nugatory. For instance, it says
that one-half of the "crew" shall be able-
seamen. Now, the "crew" is specified in law
as "every person" employed on board a ves-
sel, master and apprentices excepted. A lit-
eral construction of the bill would require
that one-half of all the persons composing the
crew of a vessel carrying 100 men all told
shall be able-seamen. In such a complement
as is here suggested only twenty-five or thirty
men are employed as deck crew — that is, as
sailors. Senate Bill 27, literally construed,
would increase that number to fifty or sixty.
Such an increase might not be unreasonable.
but every practical man knows that it is im-
possible. The mere statement of the case
from a practical point of view reduces the
terms of the bill to an absurdity. The bill
should be voted down as a very bad joke on
a very grewsome subject.
Senate Bill 27 is a survival of the legisla-
tive, judicial and executive panic that fol-
lowed the burning of the steamer ( feneral Slo-
cum, with the loss of 1000 lives. That catas-
trophe was caused, as every one now realizes,
mainly by inefficient manning. The bill in
question is intended to calm the public fears
by a pretense at obviating the chief contribu-
tory cause of the Slocum horror, while at the
same time calming the shipowner's fears that
he may be compelled to employ seamen in-
stead of roustabouts. Of course, it's a good
juke mi the public — that is, as long as the pub-
lic fails to see the point. Should the latter
become visible it is more than likely that the
Senators who are responsible for the little
play will realize the force of the adage that
"he laughs best who laughs last."
The only practical means of securing an im-
provement in the manning scale of steamers
are contained in the amendment offered dur-
ing the last Congress, as set forth in the fore-
going resolutions. That amendment was
passed by the Senate and would undoubtedly
have become law but for the refusal of Rep-
resentative Grosvenor to call it up in the
House. That amendment should be adopted
by the present Congress. At any rate, the
least that body can do is to reject the propo-
sition contained in Senate Bill 27. as a clumsy
and absurd attempt to fool the people. Bet-

CHILI) LABOK LAW VALID.
It now looks as though California were se-
cure in the possession of a Child Labor law
which, while affording material protection to
children, will stand the test of the courts.
For this hopeful outlook we are indebted to a
"His, Mentions Legislature, an industrious
and intelligent Labor Cm issioner and
a just judge. Recent developments in the
matter of Child-Labor legislation in Cali-
fornia have arisen as a result of a fatal
explosion on board the steamer Despatch.
at San Francisco, which caused the death
of a thirteen-year-old boy named "Jim-
mie" Mitchell and the serious injury of sev-
eral other minors, who were employed in
cleaning the vessel's oil tanks. Mitchell having
been under the minimum age prescribed by
the Child Labor law. Labor Commissioner
Stafford caused the arrest of Captain Henry
Weber and Chief-Engineer J. M. Spencer on
a charge of violating the law. The defense
made the plea that the Child Labor law is un-
constitutional, on the ground that it "dis-
criminates against certain forms of labor."
Tin' ease for the prosecution was conducted by
Deputy Labor Commissioner Eshleman. The
case was decided by Judge Carroll C. Cook,
in the Superior Court, at San Francisco, on
■ Ian nary If), who sustained the law as a jus-
tifiable measure of protection to children. The
substance of Judge Cook's important decision
is herewith reproduced, as follows:
The questions involved in this proceeding arc of far-
reaching and vital importance to the State and its
people, especially its future population. Just as the
twig is bent the tree's inclined, and the future of the
State and nation depends more on the rearing of its
children than on any other matter.
The argument made by respondent 's counsel in one
of the best briefs that has ever been submitted for my
consideration, is fully justified and well put. The
question presented for determination is of great and
lasting importance. With the opposition from certain
interested quarters it is with much labor that measures
such as those here involved are placed upon our statute
books, and when once they arc there it should lie but
for the weightiest constitutional reasons that they be
declared void.
Mo one at all t until ir with the he.tofv of l lull 1 iboi
legislation can fail to see at a glance the similarity of
the provisions of these measures ami the laws of all
progreseivt and of the nations of the old world
as well, touching the subjects involved. Always it has
been customary to seleet certain industries wherein it
appeared to the legislatures there was most need of
such legislation, and always such classification was up-
held. Always have there been special classes of chil-
dren made, which classes, in the minds of the legisla-
tors, were laboring under special disabilities, such as
Orphanhood or illiteracy, and no court has seen lit to
question the validity of such classification.
The salutary effect of theae laws is unquestionable.
All are interested in the care of those who cannot i
I'm- themselves, and especially in the protection tin. I
it ion of children, in whom the future hope of our
lies.
I 'u. I. i these circumstances do trivial objection should
avail to invalidate so salutary a law.
Legislatures generally, Biace the passage of the
first factory Act in England in 1802 to the present,
have considered that a valid exercise of the health ami
police power would warrant them in passing laws for
the protection of children. Counsel — although exhaus-
tive briefs have been filed — have failed to find one
single instance wherein the principle has been called
the least in question. Courts have universally held
that such laws an- a valid exercise of this power as
looking to the general welfare.
In the exercise of the police power it is necessary
always for the Legislature to set the limits of the
class, .ami it is always presumed that the legislative
part of the Government has made a valid classification
until the contrary is proved beyond a doubt.
The age of the child is of no more significance than
would be the fact of his having blue eyes, if it could be
shown that people having blue ey. s as a .lass were easi-
ly imposed on ami easily injured morally, intellectu-
ally or physically. In this latter case the state would
have the right to throw its protection around all blue-
eyed people, saving them from their more fortunate
fellows. It would not be the color of the eyes or the
age that would make the classification valid.
The whole history of Child-Labor legislation shows
an evolution. First those occupations are made the
object of legislative restriction, in which it appears
to the legislature there is most abuse of children ami
most children employed. Gradually other occupations
are included ami the restrictions ben. me more general
until finally the whole evil is eradicated. But to ask
courts to interfere on the ground of discrimination
when the discriminations are between evils, is presum-
ably too much.
Notice has been given that the case will be

appealed to the State Supreme Court, but
there seems to be little doubt that the verdict
of the lower court will be finally approved.
The vindication of the Child Labor law is due
in great measure, if not entirely, to the vigor-
ous steps taken by Labor Commissioner Staf-
ford, whose efforts were ably seconded by
Deputy John M. Eshleman. The brief sub-
mitted by the latter elicited the very rare
honor of a compliment from the bench, a gra-
cious act on the part of Judge Cook which en-
titles that gentleman to a large share of the
public congratulations upon the outcome of
the case.
The decision in the present instance is the
more gratifying by contrast with that pre-
viously rendered by a Police Judge in Oak-
land, Cal., in a case similar to that just de-
cided by Superior Judge Cook. In the for-
mer instance the Child Labor law was de-
clared unconstitutional. Those who may have
been disposed to regard the Oakland decision
as warranting a defiance of the Child Labor
law will do well to "pause and reflect." Un-
less the unexpected shall happen, it may safe-
ly be assumed that the present California
Child Labor law has come to stay until super-
seded by a better one.
'LAMBKIN" ELIOT.
The American people, and not least among
these, the American trade-unionists, have re-
cently been seriously worried over the mental
condition of one who had previously occupied
a high place in intellectual circles, to-wit,
President Eliot, of Harvard University.
That gentleman's fall from the position of a
leader of thought to that of a mere ranter has
grieved his friends, the more because they have
been unable to account for it. President
Eliot's symptoms are uncommon — quite pecu-
liar, in fact. Next to the trust question, the
labor question, and other "burning issues,"
the question as to where President Eliot "is
at" is the warmest proposition now before the
public. Fortunately, the light begins to dawn.
Our able contemporary, the Weekly Bulletin
of the Clothing Trades, offers a fairly reason-
able diagnosis of the case. Under the cap-
tion: "Lines Up With the Coolies," the
Weekly Bulletin says:
President Eliot, of Harvard, as a defender of Hie
non-unionist, was a man that the union men had to
look to with respectful attention. He stood for a big
institution of learning and for a scattered class of
professional men animated with a desire to correct
what, they believed to be excesses or weak develop-
ments in unionism. President Eliot's name brought
up to the mindvs of union leaders possibilities of
learned argument, ethical principles and unusual in-
sight into the intricacies of social relations. Unionists
might sincerely believe they were in large things right,
but President Eliot, it was possible, might enable
them to see wherein regarding lesser points they might
improve their unions and lead the members to better
citizenship and higher levels of civilization.
But President Eliot as a champion of Chinese immi-
gration! What a fall, good countrymen! The man
has revealed his unfortunate lopsided mentality. Just
as a certain percentage of mankind is color blind, or
deaf and dumb, or humpbacked, a certain proportion
of college professors are idiots with freakish gifts.
One may be an old squaw who is a chatterbox in seven
living and three dead languages; another, a mathe-
matical wonder, fit as a dime museum demonstrator;
a third, a speeehmaker, with a surplus of words over
the dictionary; a fourth, a lambkin, sweet in every
domestic sentiment and wrong in every sociological
principle. There is accumulating evidence that Presi-
dent Eliot is fitting himself for membership in the
last-named class. True it is that hereafter America's
millions will hesitate to give any of his opinions much
weight, recalling him as the blundering duffer who
lifted his voice for giving our country to the coolie.
Thus it appears that President Eliot is be-
coming sheepish, that the broadsides which
we have mistaken for the thunders of Jove are
merely so much bleating in the pastures of
Cambridge. Lambkinitis is doubtless a very-
painful thing for the person immediately
concerned, but quite harmless to others once
it is recognized and understood by them. The
Weekly Bulletin of the Clothing Trades has
rendered a great service to the country by its
investigations in this mailer and by the im-
portant, results accruing therefrom.
The San Francisco Labor Council lias is-
sued a Union Label Calendar, containing col-
ored fac-similes of thirty-three labels, but I mis,
shop cards, etc. The calendar proper is em-
bellished by numerous pithy statements of the
powers and purposes of the label, the whole
constituting a very appropriate and useful
article of household, workshop or office furni-
ture. By the issuance of the Calendar the
Labor Council has rendered another valuable
service to the cause of union label agitation.
Much credit is due that body, and particu-
larly to its Label Committee, for the energy
and enterprise displayed in the publication of
the Calendar.
A Cry From Manila.
The following communication is published
for the information of those who "want to
know" what is doing in "our island posses-
sions." Those who know all about the said
possessions but who want ship subsidies as a
means of "encouraging Americans to go to
sea" will kindly turn to the next page in
order to avoid personal injury in collision
with some facts. Here's the communication
aforesaid:
Editor Coast Seamen's Journal: Sir
Will you please give me space for a few re-
marks on behalf of the sailor in the Philippine
Islands? I wish to call attention to two of
our American ships and their captains. The
first is Captain Graham, of the Erskine M.
Phelps. Captain Graham discharged his crew
and replaced part of them with Japanese
sailors when there were sufficient American
sailors, not only to man his ship but to man
any sailing ship that floats, and then leave a
surplus in the Sailors' Home. The next ship
was the Acme, Captain McKay, who signed
a full crew of Japanese from this port, and
left his own sailors on the beach here without
a cent. Such conduct from the so-called
American captains can not be prevented by
the officials here, as there is no law to prohibit
captains from shipping whom they please. I
have incurred the displeasure of some of the
local "shipping agents" by holding ships and
seeing that the sailors are given justice. This
I believe has caused some further injustice in
the absence of a law to cover same in this port,
as it has been ruled to be not an American
port. Again, the American consuls are send-
ing sailors from China and neighboring ports
to Manila to be put on American ships. What
can I do? Captains are shipping Japs from
this port. What is the American sailor going
to do? Contributions from private sources
do not exceed forty five dollars per month,
and if the Seamen's Friend Society (76 Wall
street, New York) had not aided us we could
not have survived. Thanking you in advance,
I remain, Very respectfully,
R. J. Sharp,
Superintendent Sailors' Home.

New LaKe Tonnage.
The carrying capacity of the new vessels
thai were ordered for 1906 delivery for a full
season is about 6,000.000 tons. The new
boats, however, will not be able to move that
much freight next year as it will be late in
tin1 season when many of the large carriers
will come out. Most of the vessels thai were
ordered for late delivery are of the largest
elass and it will be late in the summer before
some of the 600-footers are ready for busi-
ness. A few of the big freighters thai were
ordered recently will not come out until Sep-
tember and that, of course, will greatly reduce
the capacity of the new tonnage for 1906.
On accounl of the late deliveries, the capac-
ity of the tonnage that will come will be
reduced about a third and some of the ore
men figure that the new boats will nol be able
to make more than 4,000,000 tons of freight
next season. The capacity of the vessels that
passed out of existence during the past sea-
son was about 2,000,000 tons. The figures
show that there will be about 2,000,000 tons
more tonnage in 1906 than there was this
year.
The addition to the capacity of the fleet,
the vesselmen say, will not any more than
take care of the increase in the movement of
ore, as they are quite confident that 36,000,-
000 tons will be shipped in 1906. That will
be a gain of about 2.500,000 over this sea-
son, when the movement was about 33,500,-
000 tons.
It is impossible to gel any line on the grain
trade, but the vessel owners feel satisfied that
that branch of the business will take care of
as much tonnage as it did this year. With
labor troubles out of the way, it is certain
the coal shipments will show a good increase
over 1905. A large number of big carriers
have 1 n chartered to load coal at Laki Brie
ports, and all the leading shippers will do
some business during the winter. There has
been some inquiry for storage capacity in the
grain trade and a numrer of steel steamers
have been placed at Chicago and the head of
Lake Superior.
According to reports there will be little
change in the condition of the freight mar-
ket next year, compared with the pasl sea-
son. Most, of the vessels were kept busy dur-
ing the season just closed, although some of
the wild carriers had trouble getting ca
at times during the summer months. It is
not likely that there will be any more wild
tonnage on tin1 market than there was this
year, as the season chartering will he done
on about the same basis il was a yeai

Record for LaKe Yards.
The annual report of the Commissioner of
Navigation for the fiscal year ended June 30
last shows that construction of vessels on the
Great Lakes during that year was greater
than ever before. It employed an immense
amount of capital and upward of 7,000 men.
It made a showing of forty-one steel steam-
ers of over 1,000 tons each completed, or an
aggregate tonnage of 158,631, and twenty-
seven steel ships building on July 1. 1905,
with a tonnage of 104,067, as compared to
thirty-seven steel ships and two schooners,
with a tonnage of 136,709, built in the fiscal
year 1904. These same yards also had under
construction four Government vessels.
The merchant capacity of the yards was
sixty-four vessels, aggregating 208,361 tons
displacement. Lake Michigan, Lake Huron,
Lake Erie and Lake Superior each had its
share of the shipbuilding work.
The Lorain yard made the best record for
the year as seven of the big steamers that
came out in 1906 were turned out there. The
boats that were built at Lorain were the
steamers Ball Brothers, James ('. Wallace, S.
M. Clement, Philip Minch. John Stanton, Jo-
seph Butler and "William A. Rogers. Pour
steamers were completed at the local yard
during the year and another big freighter for
1906 delivery was launched. One of the boats
that was built there was a package freighter.
The Bay City and Wyandotte yards each turn-
ed out three vessels. Two of the "Big Four"
steamers of the Steel Trust fleet were built
at South Chicago and one was built at Supe-
rior. During the year the company length-
ened six vessels. The Great Lakes Engineer-
ing Works, of Detroit, in 1905, launched
eight steamers, but two ,,f these will not come
out until next spring.
In addition to tie- large amount of work
completed in 1905 the Lake shipbuilders
booked orders for forty-one vessels. All the
berths at the yards for summer delivery have
been taken and some of the vessels will not
com,, on! until next, fall. The officials of the
American Shipbuilding Company closed con-
tracts for thirty-one bulk freight steamers,
'lb. Great Lakes Engineering Works has
orders for eight ships and the Toledo Ship-
building Company will build a freighter and
a passenger steami r.
Little work will be done by the Government
ibis winter at Lake Portage and the connect-
ing canals and channels. A large sum of
money will be spent in the spring in minor im-
provements to piers, revetments, docks and
waterways. A force of men is now at work-
clearing away the wreckage caused by the
steamer Saxon when it struck the pier at Lily
Pond, head on, tearing a gap sixty-four feet,
in length
It will take six weeks more of work to finish
up the dredging which is being done in the
lower canals and river. Soundings will he
made through the ice of Portage Lake and the
river during the latter part of January lo t\
the depth of the channi Is dredged oul during
the past season. This will necessitate the bor-
ing of hundreds of hobs through the ice in
order to get the soundings. For this work a
boring machine is used which can force a hole
through twenty - ti inches of ice in I wo sec-
onds.
Ore on Erie DocKs.
The figures complied from the returns sent
in by the various dock companies show that
iron ore receipts at Lake Erie ports during
the season of 1905 were 28,479,056 tons. Out
of the total movement of ore by lake of 33,-
476,904 tons on December 1, Lake Eric docks
hold a balance of 6,438,967 tons. During
1904 the total output by lake was 21.226.591,
of which Lake Erie docks received 17.932,814
tons and held a balance on dock December 1
of 5,763,399 tons. In 1903 they received a
balance of 19,681,731 tons and held a balance
on dock December 1 of that year of 6,371,085
tons. While practically 10,000,000 more ions
were received at Lake Erie docks during inn.")
than were received during 1904, the docks
held less than 1.000,000 tons more than they
did in 1904. showing a proportionately greater
movement from vessels to cars. In fact, 80 per
cent, of the ore was handled direct, not touch-
ing the dock at all. The reserve of 6.438.967
tons on Lake Erie docks December 1 is ample.
Never in the history of the trade has so large
an amount as 5,000,000 tons gone forward
from dock to furnaces during the winter sea-
son, though it should be stated that the open
weather has contributed to a steady forward-
ing of ore from dock to furnace. Then' arc,
of course, no definite figures as to the amount
of ore in the stock piles at the various fur-
naces, but of course it must be abundant.
The shipments to furnaces between May 1
and December 1 of the present year aggregate
24,311,720 tons, compared with 16,658.806
tons in 1904; with 16,903,013 tons in L903,
with 18,423.r-!64 tons in 1902 and 14,204,596
tons in 1901. The shipments to furnaces dur-
ing the navigation season as referred to arc
determined in this way. First we have the
amount of ore on Lake Erie docks before the
opening of navigation. May 1 last, 2,271.631
tons: add to this the receipts of the -
just closed. 28,479,056 tons, and the total is
30,750,687 tons; deduct the amount on dock
December 1, 6,438,967 tons and we have 24.-
311,720 tons as the amount that was for-
warded cither direct, or from dock to furnad
yards.
It is understood, of course, that the dilfer-
ence between the output of f!3,476.fi04 Ions
which was shipped from the mines during
1905 and the receipts of 28,479.05i; tons at
Lake Erie ports, is ore that went to plaecs
other than Lake Erie ports, such as fui
at Detroit and South Chicago.— Marine Re-

New Steamer Launched.
The steamer Joseph Sell wood was launched
from the yards of the American Shipbuilding
Company at Lorain, 0., on January 6. De-
spite the wind which was blowing a gale, the
Sellwood's initial dip into water was a success
in every way. Owing to the fact that there
were no tugs in commission in the harbor a
line was run across from the bow of the Sell-
wood to the steamer William Reis, which lay
across the river. These lines served to save
the Sellwood from being blown against the
south side of the slip by the wind after she
struck the water.
The Sellwood is practically a duplicate of
the steamer Joseph Butler, which was recently
launched at the local yards. The Sellwood
will be ready for service early in the spring,
and will make her first trip as soon as the
weather permits. She will be in command of
Capt. R. C. Jackson, and C. J. Love will be
chief-engineer. Capt. Jackson commanded
the steamer "William H. Gratwick last season.
and Mr. Love was the Gratwick 's chief-engi-
neer.
The Sellwood is the second steamer building
for Captain John Mitchell by the American
Shipbuilding Company for 1906 to be launch-
ed. The Penclennis White was dropped into
the water at the local yard about a month
ago. The steamer Loftus Cuddy, which will
be a duplicate of the Sellwood, will be launch-
ed at Lorain next month.
The Sellwood will have a carrying capacity
of 10,000 tons. She will be 545 feet over all,
525 feet keel, 55 feet beam and 31 feet deep.
She will have triple expansion engines with
cylinders 23 1-2, 38 and 63 inches, with 42-
inch stroke. Steam will be furnished by two
Scotch boilers 14 1-2 feet in diameter and 11
1-2 feet long.
Plans For New Steamer.
The Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Com-
pany directors have accepted Frank E.
Kirby's designs for a new million-dollar pas-
senger boat, to be built in time for the season
of 1907. The total cost will be about $1,250,-
000.
The new craft will be notable for many rea-
sons. She will be the finest boat on the Lakes,
as well as the beamiest, and she will have sev-
eral new features in her construction, which
will put her in a class by herself. Among
these will be passenger elevators and a com-
plete sprinkler system to prevent fires. She
will also have a 100-ton water bottom. The
big steamer will have four decks and will have
;! ninety-one foot beam, with ninety-three feet
between the fender strakes. She will be 410
Feel over all, twenty feet six incbes deep, and
will have 335 staterooms, including twenty-two
pailors. The engines will be three cylinder
compound with 7,000 horse-power, capable of
propelling the vessel twenty miles an bom'.
She will have eight cylindrical boilers.
The plans for the new boat are to be snb-
mitted to all the shipbuilding companies on
the Lakes, but the fact that Kirby drew the
plans has given rise to a rumor at Detroit that
the new Toledo Shipbuilding Company will
build her. Whoever gets the contract, Kirl
will have supervision of the construction. On.'
of the features of the boat will be plenty of
i: room fore and aft. the staterooms bcin"
constructed with 1 his cud in view. Another
feature will be shower baths in connection
with some of the staterooms.

(OAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
Naval Dress Reform.
Comments have been made once or twice
in this department of the Journal upon the
antiquated appearance and general unfitness
of tlic uniform worn by th<> seamen of the
United States Navy. News now comes from
Europe that the seamen of the British Navy,
after long agitation have at last induced the
Admiralty to granl them a new uniform more
in accord with the prevailing fashions in
dress among landsmen, as well as more serv-
iceable. The new uniform is described by the
London Mail as consisting of "a jacket loose-
ly fitting, comfortable around the neck, with
a turned-down collar and five buttons; a
peaked cap, light, ventilated, with broad, flat
top and. for use in hot weather, a cover to
protect the hack of the neck: trousers mod-
erately loose." This description is rather
meagre, but it is evident that the new uniform
is a decided improvement upon the old. sev-
enteenth-century to^s which it replaces. Now
that Greal Britain, the bellwether naval na-
tion of the world, has taken the lead in naval
dress reform, it may reasonably be expected
that our own Navy Department will pay somi
heed to the many complaints on the subject
which in one way or another reach the public
from the seamen of our Navy. Every little
concession by the Department to the reason-
able demands of the enlisted men will do just
so much to put a stop to the desertions from
a service which, to be of real value to the
country, should be brought up 1" ;l standard
of dignity which would attract, rather than
repel, self-respecting young men. It is cer-
tain that no worth-while young man will en-
list in either the Army or the Navy under
present conditions, except under stress of
temporary "hard luck."
The fifth annual report id' the New York
State Commissioner of Labor, which was
made public on New Year's Day, calls atten-
tion to the difficulties of enforcing the laws
governing the employment of women and
children. Among others, the law prohibiting
night work in the employment of women is
openly violated, but the Department has fear-
ed to test this particular law because its pro-
visions "are so closely joined with the provi-
sions of the law- prohibiting night work by
male and female minors that, in case of an
adverse d< eision by the courts, both laws
might fall together. The Commissioner,
fore, recommends that these laws be re-
drawn and amended so as to contain separate
provisions applying to all minors, and to fe-
males of whatever age. lie also recommends
several amendments, calculated to make the
labor laws of the State less theoretical and
more easily enforced. Finally, lie strongly
advises the abolition of the Stale's free em-
ployment bureau in New York City, and
urges an increase in the number of factory
inspectors.
The plea of the Panama Canal Commission
that the eight-hour law should not be made
operative on the Isthmus because the major-
ity of the laborers are aliens is largely in the
nature of hedging the question, inasmuch as
it assumes a continuance of the employment
of aliens. What is the matter with employ-
ing the great army of unemployed negroes in
the United St.- I
Fag Ends.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall !
.Many a simulated virtue has lived to plague
the simulator.
Xo secret has more cocksure solvers than
the mocking secret of success.
If genius could be emulated, then, indeed.
'twere folly to be merely wise.
Well-deserved praise always pleases the re-
ceiver and never hurts the giver.
All great reforms are the culminations of
world-old longings and aspirations.
Many a man who sin^s the praises of anoth-
er does so just to call attention to himself.
No man is fitted to command who lacks the
power to put himself in another man's place.
The most serviceable knowledge to any man
is that which makes him dissatisfied with him-
self.
The nature evidenced by man's first breath
remains unchanged in bent and kind till
death.
'Tis their relation to the point of view
that makes the mind's impressions falsi- or
true.
That which degrades the coward aud t la-
slave degrades still more the manly and the
brave.
The fool sayeth in his heart. "Riches have
wings," but the wise man adviseth thus:
"Clip the wings."
If the veracity of the Panama Canal Com-
mission assays up to the average at all the
historic advice of Horace Greeley should be
revised to read, "Go to Panama, young man."
It is the way of most philosophers that they
would rather speculate on the unknowable and
immaterial than set their faculties to work on
something useful and within the limits of the
attainable.
Dr. Parkhurst says that a man who swears
is no gentleman. Considering the many dam-
nable shams of our civilization it would
that a man is no gentleman who would not
swear at them.
When Sir Charles Dilke wrote his seven-
word electoral address he must have read
of the things our newspapers said about Pres-
ident Roosevelt's twenty-six-thousand-word
Message to Congress.
The fellow who started all this agitation
about abolishing the franking privileges of
Congressmen must have a grudge against the
Wastepaper Dealers' Association. Greal
movements sometimes have trivial inceptions.
It's a strange happening, indeed, that
brings no grist to the mill of some newspaper.
"I'wixt the weaknesses of the flesh and the
ways of the world and the devil, the daily
press will always be assured of the means for
turning an honest penny.

When you are buying a FUR HAT, either soft or

*G/8TEft*' in it. The Genuine Union Label Is perforated on the
four edges exactly the same as a postage stamp. If a retailer has loose labels
in his possession and offers to put one in a hat for you, do not patronize him.

Members of the House of Representa-
tives p;iid a tribute to the United States
frigate ('(institution on January 18, and
ordered an investigation in order to as-
certain the annual amount necessary to
preserve the historic ship.
President Roosevelt is preparing to
send to Congress a Message which will
favor a lock canal, on the ground that
it is in the interest of the present gen-
eration and not for posterity, and that
it can be built at less cost of time and
money.
The passengers and crew, sixty in all,
of the Clyde liner Cherokee, bound from
San Domingo for New York, which went
aground on the Brigantine Shoals on
January 12, were rescued on the 14th and
landed at Atlantic City, N. J., after be-
ing twenty-four hours on the wreck.
The American liner St. Paul, which ar-
rived at New York on January 14 from
Southampton and Cherbourg, brought
Captain Shepard and crew of nine men
of the bark Edward Mayberry, which was
abandoned at sea on December 15 when
150 miles east of Cape Hatteras. The
Mayberry 's crew were rescued by the
American bark Stalia, and were landed at
Havre.
After being adrift on a gangplank for
nearly thirty hours without food or
water, Carl Sumner, the only known sur-
vivor of a party of thirteen people
aboard the four-masted schooner Robert
H. Stevenson, was picked up by the Ger-
man steamer Europa, bound from Phila-
delphia for Savannah, on January 15, in
lat. 34.58 deg. north, longitude 35.54
deg. west, and landed at Savannah, Ga.,
on the 17th.
The Ocean Steamship Company, of
Savannah, Ga., has placed a contract for
the construction of a new ship, to be
built at Roach 's shipyard, at Chester,
Pa. The vessel will be 370 feet long on
the waterline and 396 feet over all. Her
beam will be 49 feet and depth from the
hurricane deck 35 feet. She will register
6,000 tons gross, and will have accom-
modations for 120 first-class passengers,
36 intermediate and 66 steerage passen-
gers.
Recent dispatches from Genoa an-
nounce an invention by Rear-Admiral
Guimarez, of the Brazilian navy, which
will, it is said, render it possible for ves-
sels to cross the seas in the most tem-
pestuous weather. The invention consists
of an ordinary cannon placed on the bow
of a vessel to discharge at five-minute
intervals or oftener, a projectile filled
with sawdust heavily impregnated with
oil, to calm the waters in front of the
vessel. Experiments made in the rough-
est sea's have been surprisingly successful.
The German Imperial Marine Office
has issued a Statement, showing an in-
crease in the commercial marine of Qer
many in ten years from 1,387,000 net
registered tons, valued at $81,750,000, to
2,533,000 tons, valued at $ L'02,500,000.
The gain was almost wholly in steam ton-
nage, which increased from a value of
$63,250,000 to $188,250,000. The ton-
nage of Bailing vessels decreased in value
from $18,500,000 to $14,250,000. 'the
greatest increase in the \ah 1' Steam
tonnage was a1 Hamburg, from $31,-
250,000 to $Hio,000,000.
A remarkable contrast i* shown by the
reports of four leading transatlantic
steamship Companies Of the arrivals and
departures el' their vessels at New York
in L905-. The arrivals on the Canard,
White Star, Hamburg and North Got
man Lloyd ships numbered 992,065, in-
cluding 133,04] United States citizens.
The. departure figures for the fall year
are ant available, but from .lamia ry 1 to
July 1 only 71,896 persons sailed from
New Vurk mi these lines, a decrease from
95,192 for 1904. If the total of de
partures be doubled, it will correspond
roughly with the Americans arriving.

SUBSIDIES AND SENATE BILL 27.
Seamen's Loss and Shipowners' Gain.
Furuseth Compares Old And New Laws.
THE seaman has for a very long time been con-
sidered as belonging to the vessel on which he
sails. This was not always so, especially as
compared with other workingmen. The seaman must
at some time have been freer than others, because there
is a saying in Europe : ' ' The free sailor. ' ' If we com-
pare the laws of Wisby or of Oleron, there remains no
doubt that at that time he was among the freest of
workingmen. There was no such thing as any owner-
ship of the seaman by the vessel. He could not leave
the vessel in a foreign port. He was bound to the ves-
sel by the common hazard, the common danger to him-
self and his shipmates if he left — that is, in a strange
place or land. But there was no such thing as any
penalty for desertion in a home port.
England adopted drastic laws regarding seamen
about 1740. It was stated then that those laws would
cause the seamen to quit the sea or country if they
could. It seems that during the American War of In-
dependence they did quit and go over to the Colonies
in very large numbers. It seems that during the fol-
lowing years they continued to desert from their own
vessels and went into those of this country, in spite of
the fact that our Congress on July 20, 1790, adopted
a law, which treated the seaman as belonging to, in
the sense of being owned by, the vessel.
That law provided that any seaman having agreed to
serve in a vessel, and then absented himself, might be
arrested on warrant issued by a justice, kept in prison
until the master should call for him, and then be de-
livered up to such master, who could compel him to
work against his will. This law became known as
Section 4598, R. S., and was repealed on December 21,
1898. Another section of the law of March 3, 1790,
provided that if the seaman had signed on a vessel and
had received some money on account, and had worked
long enough to find that in his opinion the vessel was
unseaworthy and a survey had determined that the ves-
sel was fit to go to sea, then, if the seaman should re-
fuse, he could be sent to prison until he had paid back
to the owner such costs as the Justice might determine.
One section provided that any person who should har-
bor or secrete any seaman, knowing him to belong to
any vessel, should be subject to a fine, part of which
should go to the informer. These two sections became,
respectively, Sec. 4558 and Sec. 4601, R. S., both of
which were repealed on December 21, 1898. If the
man was found before the vessel went away he could
be compelled to fulfill his contract, and this was, I
think, the law in other employments in several States
at the same period, so that the seaman was not discrim-
inated against. If he succeeded in keeping out of the
way until the vessel had departed, he was free. The
law remained in this form until after the adoption of
the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, and then it was made more drastic.
When the laws were revised after the adoption of
the Thirteenth Amendment, all the statutes en forcing
involuntary servitude were retained, and on June 7,
1872, these slave sections of the law were so extended
that the seaman could lie taken on board a vessel with
out the intervention of any judicial authority, and if
a mistake was made a slight damage might be re-
covered by the seaman (Section 4599, R. S. ; repealed
December 21, 1898), and three months' imprisonment
was provided for any one who was not found before
the vessel departed. The same Act had one section
(Sec. 7), which provided that if several of the crew
combined to impede the navigation of the vessel or
the progress of the voyage they might be imprisoned
not to exceed twelve months. This was Subsection 7
of Section 4590, R. S., and was repealed on December
21, 1898. Section 4596 itself was amended so as to
abolish all penal punishment for desertion in any port
in the United States or in near-by foreign countries;
but left one month 's imprisonment, at the discretion
of the court, for desertion in any foreign port in the
foreign trade.
Section 4600, R. S., makes it the duty of consuls to
reclaim deserters, and Section 5286, R. S., provides
how a foreign seaman, who has deserted in this coun-
try may be arrested, held in prison at the option of the
representative of the foreign government and be sent
back to the vessel, there to work against his will, or
to the country from whose jurisdiction he has en-
deavored to withdraw himself.
A seaman who refuses to fulfill a contract to labor
for a private individual upon a private vessel is by
these sections of our law and by treaties with foreign
nations, put on equality with ordinary criminals and
made extraditable. The seaman is, under the law, a
slave, compelled to remain with his master. And yet
it is expected that an American boy, taught in an
American school, will seek a calling. so dishonored as
that of the seaman, in which to do his life-work.
It is true that Congress, on December 21, 1898, re-
pealed some of 'these laws in the coastwise trade, but
the seaman is still the property of the vessel. The only
crime he commits against person or property by de-
serting is to withdraw his body from the authority of
the master. It seems to follow that that body is the
property of the master.
That the seamen know and appreciate the discrim-
ination which the shipowner insists upon and which
the country allows, is apparent from the fact that they
have used their hard-earned money to have the law
tested by an appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States, in the case of Robertson, et al, vs. Harry
Baldwin. The court held that the seamen were not
under the protection of the Thirteenth Amendment;
that, in fact, a citizen by becoming a seaman volun-
tarily surrendered his right to personal liberty.
The present law may be further illustrated by an
incident which took place in a Brooklyn boarding-
house, just after the latter decision and just before the
war with Spain. A recruiting officer came into the
house and appealed to the men to enlist in the Navy.
An old salt, sitting quietly listening, asked this ques-
tion: "What is the matter with Uncle Sam now? Is
he in such hard straits that he must put arms in the
hands of his slaves?"
It is said that the country wants seamen for the
merchant marine and the Navy. It is said thai there
is a, desire to have the American boy go to sen. and
that the American man shall remain there. If there
be any sincerity in this desire, the very first thing to 'I"
is to restore to the seaman his rights as a citizen. No
man worthy of the name of American will remain in a
calling when to do so stamps him as one satisfied to be
a slave.
Lord Chatham once said in the House of Commons,
when a bill relating to seamen w.-is under discussion:
"Sir, the two honorable and learned gentlemen who
spoke in favor of this clause were pleased to show that
our seamen are half slaves already, anil now they
modestly desire that you shall make them wholly so.
Will this increase your number of seamen, or will it
make those you have more willing to serve you? Can
you expect that any man will make himself a slave if
he can avoid it? Can you expect that any man will
breed his child to be a slave? Can you expect that sea-
men will venture their lives or their limbs for a coun-
try that has made them slaves? Or can you expect that
any seaman will stay in the country if he can by any
means make his escape? Sir, if you pass this law you
must, in my opinion, do with your seamen as they do
with their galley-slaves in France— you must chain
them to their ships or chain them in couples when they
go ashore. ' '
That Chatham was right has been shown by the in-
cidental laws which it became necessary to adopt. Im-
prisonment and extradition were needed to enforce the
law. The American people know that the seaman is a
slave.
Shipowners Evade Responsibility.
The custom of the calling and the interest of the
owners of vessels made any laws upon the subject of
skill unnecessary in the early part of the last century.
The boy went to sea to learn, and the learning period
was never less than four years. Any seaman signing
shipping-articles as an able-seaman and who was found
insufficient in skill was reduced to such rating as his
skill would entitle him to. This is made part of the
contract prescribed by Congress, where it says: "And
if any person enters himself as qualified for a duty
which he proves himself incompetent to perform, his
wages shall be reduced in proportion to his incompe-
tency." (Page 88, Navigation Laws.)
Until insurance had so developed that the risk aris-
ing from incompetent seamen was borne by the insurer,
it was the owner's interest to see that the men were
competent, and this he did. But since the risk is now
borne by others, he can easily persuade himself that
skill is not an indispensable quality in men who go to
sea. The owner's immediate interest is in a cheap
crew, and the shipmaster will, of course, take his or-
ders from the owner as to the kind of crew to be hired.
To get the cheapest possible crew became a matter of
serious importance to the owner, and such legislation
as was against this was sought to lie repealed and later
on resisted. The owner found that the law of March
3, 1813, provided that all of the crew and officers must
be citizens. In the Act of May 31, 1830, he succeeded
in having this reduced to the officers and two-thirds of
the crew, and in the Act of June 28, 1 S(J4, he suc-
ceeded in having all regulations about the crew, ex-
clusive of the officers, stricken out, so that he would
have the whole world to draw from.
Being now unfettered as to citizenship, nationality
or race, and being careless as to skill, he could cut
wages or resist effectually any increase, especially with
the help of the laws providing imprisonment for de-
sertion mid giving the right to reclaim deserters, which
had been provided for in all the treaties entered into,
eh her- of extradition or of commerce. Even these laws
proved insufficienl because of the constantly in<
ing wages on shore and the unwillingness of the \ i,,. ,
can citizen to go into a calling in which he was Looked
upon and treated as a slave, and in which wages (thai
is, what these will buy in the market) had been so re-
duced that he COUld no longer support a family. The
owner then depended upon foreigners exclusively, and
ceased to carry boys, lie encouraged crimping and I'd
all he could to prevent any ell, •dive legislation ag
Lt, and in the Ait of June 28, 1884, (Sec. 20), lie
Obtained permission to sign his crews in a foreign port
to go back to a foreign port, without reshipment in
t hi' I 'idled States.
Native seamen had by this time become so scarce
that the small \:i\v w:is Idled by foreigners, and a Cry
was raised against the danger in which this state of
things placed the country. Tin- shipowner promptly
catiie forward with a remedy: "dive us a subsidy; you
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
will thus have more ships, and hence more seamen."
in most cases where a subsidy is now paid upon con-
dition that a per-centage of seamen employed shall be
citizens, the owner hires citizen waiters enough to fill
up the number outside of the officers, who must be citi-
zens anyway, and thus he gets the money. But the
country does not get the seamen.
Citizen seamen are now so scarce that to insist upon
a high number of citizens in all vessels would be equiv-
alent to asking that the vessel be laid up. But a
standard of efficiency high enough to secure reason-
able safety would give to the seaman the reasonable
linty that the men who are to do the work at sea
will be able to do it, while it would raise his wages
gradually, or help to do so, to a point where he might
assume the responsibility of married life. Again, if
the owners were compelled to .any a number of boys
in proportion to the number of men there would be an
opening for tin boys and a possibility of creating a
body of native ami naturalized seamen.
It' laws such as are here suggested were adopted for
the coasting trade, where the owner has no competition
and they all are on the same level, a body of such sea-
men might be developed without any extra cost to the
Treasury. The steady drift from the sea on the part
of the population of all civilized countries would com-
pel them to follow, or else turn the sen over to the
Yellow Race.
Measured by any Occidental standard, the wages of
the seamen have gone below any possibility of repro-
duction, care when sick, provision for old age or for
any accidental misforl one.
When sick the seaman goes to a Marine Hospital,
kept by the Federal Government out of the general
taxes from the general public (like any other pauper
hospital). The training of the young in so far as there
is any training is by the public, through training
sels. When dead, if he dies on shore, his burial is by
the public.
Ibre we have an industry that has succeeded in put-
ting the training of the young, the care for the sick
and injured and the burial of the dead off its own
shoulders and on to those of the general public, while
the wages paid to men in the prime of life are such as
to make ordinary human life impossible.
Long ago the shipowners ceased to find men from
their own people willing to labor for them. They
then sought men from other nationalities, but of the
same rare, and, finally, they are seeking, and for the
present obtaining, men from alien races to furnish the
labor in an industry which they claim to lie of such
national importance that to continue this business the
nation must assist. But the nation must not enforce
such rules as would bring the native back to the sea!
That, of course, would be injurious to the business,
.although the subsidy may, as in some eases it now does,
amount to more than the entire wages paid to the
whole crew of all the vessels of the entire line.
Why the American Boy Doesn't Go to Sea.
1. He knows, or soon finds out, that a seaman is a
slave. (See Sections 4596, 4600 ami 5280 of the Revised
Statutes and treaties of extradition and commerce.)
2. He is compelled to live in a place six feet long,
six feet high, and two feet wide. This is the legal
forecastle space, except in the sailing vessels built or
rebuilt after June 30, 1898. (See Act of May 3, 1887.)
This space, in which men must Bleep, live, eat and keep
their clothing, has been described as "too large for a
coffin, but too small for a grave '.
:;. He is compelled to sign away, in the foreign
le, a certain sum of the wages to be earned in order
to get employment This is known as "allotment to
original creditor" and is permitted by Section 24 of
the Act of December 21, 1898; but is made mandatory
by the crimps (marine employment ag' tits) and to sur-
render his right to part payment of wages in ports
of call. (See Section 4530, R. S„ as amended Decem-
ber 21, 1898.) The proviso: "Unless the contrary be
expressly stipulated in the contract" is made a con-
dition upon which employment is obtained.
4. He must obey any order from the master or other
officer, or go to prison, but if crippled for life by in-
jury thereby received he litis no remedy, because under
late decisions the officers are "fellow-servants."
5. He must, in obtaining employment, compete with
the unskilled and destitute, not only in this country,
but from all -nations and races, because the law as to
citizenship was repealed in 1SG4, and the custom wdiich
enforced skill has been destroyed by abolishing the
owner's risk and liability, and no law has taken its
place. No standard of skill has been adopted.
6. He must do this unskilled man's work at sea,
because the work must be done, and there is nobody
else to do it.
7. He knows that vessels are generally under-
manned, both as to skill and as to number of men em-
ployed.
8. He knows, or he soon finds out, that the calling
will not, except in rare eases, growing rarer as vessels
grow larger, be able to earn sufficient m y to marry
ami keep a family.
9. He knows that he can get employment on shore
that is more lucrative and more honorable, or at least
is so considered by men on shore.
Those who continue do so either bemuse they have
dentally got into this employment and have not the
energy to get out. They are, in many instances, men
who have fought life's battle— have lost ami accepted
defeat — or they still have hope that the civilized na-
tions will realize their need of seamen and will, for
those reasons, change the laws so that sea life shall
again be honorable and furnish sufficient income upon
which a family may be kept.
Legal Relief Won by Shipowner.
Shipowners have been relieved of:
Bisks, arising from acts of God or .lungers ot
the sea, through the system of insurance; arising from
piracy through the present perfect policing of the seas;
from those arising from popular local disturbances
through damages paid by such localities or States.
2. Liabilities to the shipper, passenger or seaman
through limited liability, as to the shipper or passen-
ger, i providing he has a competent master and crew) ;
as to the seaman through decisions making the master
and other officers "fellow-servants" of the seaman.
3. Taxes on floating property by a large number of
States and others about to follow in this policy.
4. Fees to be paid for the enforcement of Naviga-
tion Laws, (see Acts of June 19, 1886, and June 10,
1890), by which fees theretofore paid by the owner are
now paid from the general treasury. Some small fees
only are left.
5. Care and cure of sick seamen, which has been
assumed by the United States, through the Marine
Hospital Service, the expenses of which were placed
against the general treasury by the last Congress, and
from the burial of dead seamen, who are handed over
to the coroner and then buried by the community.
6. The duty to carry a certain number of citizens in
the crews of vessels. (See Act June 2s, 1864.)
7. The duty of training men for the sea service.
This is now done by foreigners, or at public expense
by training ships. Too often they are not trained at
all. Although the owner is supposed to provide a com-
petent master and crew, yet there is no legal standard
as to the seamen, and this law only comes into opera-
tion when some one is damaged and the plaint ill
proves that the crew were inefficient, in which case
limited liability ceases to operate.
8. If the Subsidy bill passes, the Tonnage Taxes,
which he now pays will be returned, with more added
as a payment for running his vessel.
9. If Senate Bill 27 passes as it now reads his re-
sponsibility as to the crew will cease, he being covered
by having obeyed the rules as to number of men pre-
scribed by the Local Inspectors.
In addition to these exemptions passed and pro-
posed, the American owner may carry such number
of men as he shall please, there being no regulations
at present under which he may be compelled to carry
any given number. Of course, if Senate Bill 27 passes
there will be such a regulation in vessels which carry
passengers for hire, but he may carry any amount of
cargo that he shall think safe, on deck. lie may load
his vessel as deeply as he shall think proper. There
are no regulations on these subjects.
He may hire, ami in a foreign port in the foreign
trade, by assistance of the police, keep, the cheapest
men that can be found in any part of the world.
Under Admiralty law, as it came to this country,
the owmr was liable to the full extent of his property
for any loss or damage caused to the shipper or pas-
senger through his own carelessness, or the careless-
ness or lack of skill of master or crew. He was fur-
ther liable to the seamen employed for injuries caused
by defective gear or for injuries received through
any lack of skill on the part of the master or other
officer.
Section 4283 R. S. (Act of March 3, 1851) relieved
him of part of his liability by enacting that where
the loss or damage were caused by neglect of master
or crow the owner should not be liable beyond his in-
terest in the vessel and freight pending. In constru-
ing this law the courts have held that it was the duty
of the owner to provide a competent master and crew.
(Matter of Wright, 10 Ben. U. S. 14.)
Section 18, Act of June 26, 1884, extends this to all
debts and liabilities, except in case of those employed
by the vessel. That Act reads: "The individual lia-
bility of a shipowner shall be limited to the propor-
tion of any or all debts and liabilities that his indi-
vidual share of the vessel bears to the whole; and the
aggregate liabilities of all the owners of a vessel on
account of the same shall not exceed the value of such
vessel and freight pending."
The owner was still in duty bound to furnish a com-
petent master anil crew. In the case of the Pacific
Mail S. S. Comp., 130 Fed. Bep., 76, the Court of
Appeals held, and the Supreme Court of the United
States later on concurred, as follows :
"It is the duty of the owner of the vessel to pro-
vide a crew, not merely competent for the ordinary
duties of an uneventful voyage, but for any emergency
that is likely to happen and which calls for instant
action to save lives of passengers and crew. A ship is
not sufficiently manned when the sailors can only re-
ceive orders through the boatswain. ' '
If Senate Bill 27 passes, as reported, the responsi-
bility of the owner for an inefficient crew will pass
away. The owners liability for injuries sustained by
the seamen are now assumed by accident insurance
Companies for a practically nominal premium, and the
courts have lately held that the master is a "fellow-
servant" of the seaman, so that the recovery of any
damages has become practically impossible.
Captain Joseph P. Cattarinich, formerly master of
different Pacific Mail liners, committed suicide by in-
haling gas at San Francisco on January 28. Captain
Cattarinich 'a license had recently been revoked as a
result of t he wreck of the steamer San Bias, while
he was in command of that vessel. At the time of his
death Cattarinich was serving as quartermaster on the
United States Army transport Meade. Deceased was
a native of Austria, aged 52 years.
President Roosevelt and Secretary Metcalf of the
mm nt of Commerce and Labor have ordered an
investigation of the fish and fisheries of Japan and
Saghalien Island during next summer. The work will
be nude] the general direction of President Jordan, of
rd (Cal.) University, and Dr. Barton W. Ever-
mann, director of the division of scientific inquiry in
the Bureau of Fisheries.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Company's steamer
Empress of Ireland was launched at Glasgow, Boot-
land, on January 27. The Empress of Ireland is a
twin-screw steamer of 14,500 tons and 18,000 horse-
power. Her length between perpendiculars is 550 feet,
breadth 65 feet. She is expected to develop a speed of
twenty knots.
Importance of Seaweed.
Along the shores of Jaderen, on the south-
west, coast of Norway, the seaweed grows in
veritable forests; not the common grass va-
riety, but actual trees from 5 to 6 feet in
height, with stems like ropes and leaves as
tough as leather. It begins to sprout in March
and April, and gradually covers the ocean
bed with a dense, impenetrable brush. In the
fall the stems become tender, the roots release
their suction-like grip on the rocky bottom,
and the autumn winds wash it ashore in such
great quantities that it looks like a huge brown
wall along the entire coast. The fall crop is
of comparatively small value. The only use
that can be made of it is for fertilizing pur-
poses, because it is only in the spring that it
can be successfully burned, and at this time
there is such a demand for it that every stalk
and leaf is gathered as if it were pure coin.
The weed-burning season is the busiest of
the year, and every member of tne household
is drafted to assist in gathering, drying, and
burning. At the close of each clear day the
whole coast seems to be aflame from the thous-
ands of bonfires that are kept burning far into
the night. This is one of the many natural re-
sources that are unexpectedly developed in Nor-
way, and no one ever dreamed twenty years
ago that this seemingly worthless weed would
in a few years, as a source of income, surpass
the fisheries, which have been the mainstay of
the people for ages, nor rival that of agricult-
ure in one of the leadinc; agricultural districts
in Norway. Yet such is the case to-day, and
those who are fortunate enough to own land
abutting the seashore can reap the most prof-
itable crop of the year. Owners of farms
located where the weed seems to have a pre-
dilection to drift can burn as much as 3,000
kilos a year.
During this time the carrying capacity of
the Stavanger and Jaderen Railway is taxed
to the utmost, as many tram loads a day, col-
lected at the different stations, are shipped to
Stavanger, whence from two to three ship-
loads a week are sent to Great Britain. The
subsequent uses and treatment of the ashes is
veiled in scientific mystery, and the good pen-
pie of Jaderen are not concerned about it as
long as there is an increasing demand, and the
English agents at Stavanger are willing to
pay good prices for their wares. These ashes
contain many valuable chemical properties,
among which iodine is the most important.
This relatively large supply of money has
wrought great changes in the economic con-
ditions of the district. Old debts have been
paid off, small farms that were isolated and
surrounded by unproductive land have had
their boundaries extended by the draining of
marshes and clearing of rocky waste that have
not been utilized since the stone age, and this
very land, which has been considered worth-
less and unfit for cultivation, has by this
evolution become productive. Not mure than
twenty years ago there was not a mowing ma-
chine in the entire district, while now there
are mowers, hayrakes, harrows, and other mod-
ern machinery on nearly every farm. Artificial
manures and fertilizing matter unknown be-
fore are now used in enormous quantities.
Modern dwellings and barns for grain and
stock have replaced the ancient hut. The
transformation has been so great that farming
in this particular locality may be said to have
acquired an almost American character, only
on a much smaller scale.

Poor, Poor JacK!
The justice of the reproach implied by the
current expression, "the ignorant rich and
well-to-do, ' ' is never so apparent to a working-
man as when he reads one of the many con-
tributions to the magazines and daily press,
purporting to be a faithful picture of "how
the other half lives," and written by some
nice, la-dee-da person who would "feel real
bad, you know," for a week if a little stray
grime should happen to affix itself to his im-
maculate hands and daintily manicured nails.
A contribution of that kind was one of the
leading features of the New York Sun, in
the Sunday issue of January 14. It is a
nearly full-page "write-up" on "The Sail-
or's Life of Hardships," profusely illustrated
with landsmannishly appropriate pictures of
"Jack Writing Home," "The Sea-Lawyer,"
' ' Praying For Those On the Sea, ' ' etc. ; and
is so evidently the handiwork of a dilettante,
"ship-ahoy, shiver-me-tarry-toplights" writer
that an able-seaman on reading it almost hears
the rustling of skirts and smells the patchouli.
The tale is also well trimmed with the dainty
platitudes affected by feminine amateur wri-
ters on "The Hardships of Poor Jack," and
that luckless individual's supposed character-
istics are analyzed with all the gusto and mi-
nuteness of a learned entomologist discours-
ing on the vermiform appendix of a bug.
After a rather "featured," ten-cent-maga-
zine description of the floating bethel moored
in East River, New York, the reader is kindly
introduced to the chaplain of the bethel, the
Right Reverend Mister A. R. Mansfield, who,
of course, is pictured as being just too lovely
for anything. The reverend gentleman is also
credited with knowing "more about this class
of people (sailors) than any one else in New
York." Now, wouldn't that jar the Sphinx,
let alone a superannuated shellback ! To be
sure, the Right Reverend gentleman is an ex-
ceedingly good-looking chap, of the mature
age of thirty-six. But, he has never been a
sailor; and it's a king's ransom to a plugged
nickle that what he doesn't know about sailors
bears pretty much the same quantitative rela-
tion to what he knows about them that the
proverbial mountain bears to the ditto mole-
hill. With all due deference to the cloth of
the Right Reverend, it may also be said that
there are at all times in the port of New
York thousands of men to be found who, in
packet rat lingo, "can pull him through a
ring-bolt and show him his work" in the line
of knowing all about sailors. The docks and
rigging-lofts swarm with them, the Seamen's
Union has a choice assortment of them, and
the Sailor's Snug Harbor has hundreds of
patriarchal "old whales," all of whom are
willing to take oath that every hair on their
heads is a rope-yarn and every drop of blood
in their veins pure Stockholm tar.
Much of "The Sailor's Life of Hardships"
is in the conventional form of an "inter-
view." The reverend hero, for instance, after
getting off some dolorous laments anent the
Deeds of "Poor Jack" and the grievous
wrongs he suffers, etc., is quoted as saying:
The conditions I refer to are those of the seamen 's
unions, the crimes of the crimps, the robberies that
take place in establishments known as sailors' board-
ing-houses, the brutality of officials (officers f) and
the advantage taken of his (Poor Jack's) inexperience
of financial methods.
The classification of the seamen's unions
with crimps, sailors' boarding-house sharks,
and bucko mates is just what might be expect-
ed from a gentleman who "knows more about
this class of people (sailors) than any one else
in New York." If his general fund of infor-
mation is on the same extensive scale he is
certainly eligible to membership in the An-
cient Order of Sciolists. But, wonderful as
his knowledge of seamen and seamen's unions
evidently is, it isn't a marker compared to that
possessed by his chief mate and first assistant,
a certain Mr. Wood. This gentleman spins
the fair interviewer a two-column yarn, which
he prefaces by saying that he hasn't "much
sympathy for the man in the fo'c'sle" be-
cause, "as a general thing, he's a bad lot and
has got to be helped in spite of himself." Then
he goes on to tell all he knows about "Poor
Jack" — which, by the way, may be classified
as mostly "things that ain't so" — and in the
course of his narrative runs amuck, among
those convenient bete noirs of the floating-
bethel man, the crimps. After unmercifully
lambasting these loathsome sinners, he tacks
ship and heads up as follows :
After he (the crimp) has got through with them
(the sailors) they fall into the hands of the union
(sic), which ships them after exacting about a half a
year 's pay for the work, and they sail without a cent,
hardly a rag to their backs, and in debt.
Mr. Wood further solemnly avers that the
traps set by those "robbers' roosts" (sailors'
boardinghouses) and seamen's unions for the
undoing of the poor, hapless seamen 's missions
would furnish material for several stirring
Conan Doyle stories. But, enough has already
been quoted to show the crass ignorance of
Mr. Mansfield and his esteemed assistant of
the ways of seamen, and more especially of the
ways of the seamen's unions. It could not
very well be otherwise, however. The genuine,
worth-while seaman never fetches tip within
hailing distance even of a seamen's mission if
he can help it. It isn't that he is bashful or
an irreligious cuss; but he resents being look-
ed upon as a childish, irresponsible, pitiable
sort of amphibious hobo, such as Mr. Mans-
field and his colleagues are in the habit of
picturing him. As for the undisguised hatred
of the seamen's unions manifested by these
right reverend gentlemen, it is probably a case
of envy ; the small-souled envy of the unsuc-
cessful. The International Seamen's Union
of America has succeeded in remedying and
abolishing most of the evils against which the
Seamen's Friend Society only feebly protest-
ed, when it did not actually connive at them.
In short, while the Seamen's Union has ac-
complished things, the Seamen's Friend So-
ciety has at most only indulged in those good
intentions that make such excellent paving
material for the road that leads to the place
whence our reverend friends would fain save
the soul of "Poor Jack."
The New York Branch of the United Ty-
pothetae of America has opened a "technical
school," where scabs are instructed in the
operation of linotype, monotype and simplex
typesetting machines, so that they may take
the places of union operators striking for an
eight-hour day. It is understood, however,
that the "school" is more of a bluff than any-
thing else, as up to date it has not turned out
enough "scholars" even to man one of the big
metropolitan job printing offices.
Labor and Reform.
A good deal of surprise, amounting almost
to consternation, has been expressed by our
"safe, sane and conservative" press at the
great gains made by the "Laborites" in the
last election in England. To a merely "sane"
observer of current events there is nothing
particularly surprising in the present political
upheaval in that country, unless it be the
lateness of its advent. The contest now being
waged in England is simply an acute phase
of the world-old struggle and antagonism be-
tween the House of Have and the House of
Want, brought to its present acuteness by
conditions common to all countries whose so-
cial structures are founded on the principle
that the monopoly by private individuals of
natural resources is fundamentally and eco-
nomically right. These conditions, by reason
of increasing population and waning indus-
tries, have now reached a crisis in the nation-
al life of England, where their inherent dan-
ger to society at large can no longer be ignor-
ed even by their own beneficiaries. Our turn
will come some day. We are pursuing the
same fatuous national policies, although in
slightly different form, that our British cous-
ins have so long pursued, and the results must
therefore in the end be the same. In the
meantime those of our friends who are addict-
ed to the harmless habit of drawing general
conclusions from particular premises will be
busy conjuring up "analogies," etc. There can
be no analogy, however, between the present
unrest among the "lower stratum" in Eng-
land and its effect on British politics, and the
corresponding elements in this country. In
the first place, we lack the centralization and
homogeneity as a nation which distinguish the
British, and also their comparative freedom
from State and Church schisms. In the next
place, the pressure of our population upon our
natural resources has not yet reached the
point where men begin to realize that neces-
sity knows no law, and the instinct of revolu-
tion manifests itself in such political up-
heavals as that now taking place in England.
However, we are slowly but surely tending
toward that point. Much can be done, and
perhaps will be done, to avert many of the
evils that are bound to come to us as a nation.
And, among the beginnings toward that end,
the modern trade-union movement undoubted-
ly ranks first.
From the way the press all over the country
is pricking up its ears over the mutterings
growing out of our go-as-you-please immigra-
tion policy, it is clear that the powers behind
the press are getting concerned about the
matter. Unfortunately our immigration prob-
lems are of the kind which harass and vex
those among us least able and lifted to cope
with them. For that reason it is much I" be
feared that bad as the conditions connected
with our practically indiscriminate and unre-
stricted admission of aliens now are, they are
likely to become a great deal worse before they
become any better. The old saying that
"what is everybody's business is nobody's
business" acquires all the force of an axiom
when "everybody" simply stands Tor every-
body who is nobody.

Nineteen bodies from the wreck of the Valencia had
been recovered up to January 28, only five of which
were identified.
James P. Taylor, a coal dealer of Oakland, has filed
a libel against 'the steamer Dimond at San Francisco
for coal alleged to have been furnished to the extent
of $1164.79.
The steam dredger San Francisco, which was taken
out to sea a week ago by the tugboat Sea Eover, bound
for San Pedro, and stranded in the gale prevailing at
the time, was floated and towed back to San Francisco
on January 21.
The Local Inspectors of Steam Vessels at San Fran-
cisco have exonerated Captain John Norberg, of the
steam-schooner W. H. Kruger, which sprang a leak off
the Mendocino coast on January 12, and had to be
towed to the former port.
The steam-schooner Santa Barbara, from Puget
Sound, arrived at San Francisco on January 26, with
freight and passengers after a long trip, some diffi-
culty having been experienced in combating the rough
seas and high winds.
The river steamer J. D. Peters and the scow-
schooner Alaska collided in San Francisco Bay on
January 28. Robert Hanlon, a deckhand on the
Peters," was killed, and C. W. Denny, another deck-
hand, was seriously injured.
The barkentine Northwest put into San Francisco on
January 19, sixteen days out from Portland, Or., for
San Pedro, Cal., with a cargo of lumber. The North-
west suffered severely in the prevailing heavy weather
and was leaking badly upon her arrivel.
A favorable report was made on January 25 by the
Senate Committee on Commerce on the Perkins' bills
to establish a fog signal on the jetty at the entrance
to Humboldt Bay and making Monterey and Port Har-
ford each a sub-port of entry in the district of San
Francisco.
The Caroline and Marshall islands suffered great
damage from another hurricane, lasting from Novem-
ber 3 to 5. The damage was not as great as that suf-
fered from the hurricane last April. It was, neverthe-
less, severe, destroying many plantations and houses,
though no lives were lost.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on January 28: British ship Drumcraig, 129
days from Astoria for Manila, 70 per cent. British
ship Mobile Bay, 204 days from New York for For-
mosa, 10 per cent. British ship Pass of Balmaha, 151
<lavs from Montevideo for Salina Cruz, 20 per cent.
The case of the Government against Bobert J. Ty-
son, Alexander McLean, S. E. R. de Smidt, W. J.
Woodside and W. J. Wood, charged with conspiring
to equip McLean's schooner, the Carmencita, for seal
poaching in Northern waters, was begun in the United
States District Court, at San Francisco on January 26.
The contract for a new steamer for the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company will shortly be awarded to an
Eastern firm. The new vessel will resemble the City of
Puebla in appearance, but will be larger and more
modern in equipment. There will be accommodations
for 300 first-class and 150 second-class passengers.
The bark Harry Morse, 1242 tons net register, now
on the Pacific Coast, has been sold by C. E. Plummer,
of San Francisco, to New York parties, who will con-
vert her into a barge and use her in the Atlantic coast-
wise coal trade. The Morse was built at Bath, Me., in
1871 by J. P. Morse and has been engaged in Pacific
Coast trade many years.
Captain Gaudin, agent of marine, at "Victoria, B. C,
received a telegram on January 23 from Lightkeeper
Dakin at Carmanah, that the name board of the
sealing schooner Fawn had been found in the surf
near there. The Fawn left Behring Sea for Victoria
last October with 502 sealskins. Her crew consisted
of six white men and twenty-one Indians.
The Humboldt Steamship Company, operating the
steamer Humboldt has declared a dividend of 25 per
cent at a meeting recently held, and has elected the
following officers: President, Richard Sweasey; vice-
president and general manager, Max Kalish; secretary,
F. R. Sweasey. The Humboldt has been long on the
run between Seattle, Wash., and Skagway, Alaska.
A schooner which was recently sighted bottom up in
the Strait of Juan de Fuca proves to be the little hali-
but vessel Ella G. of Victoria, B. C. She left that
port on her third trip with Captain Alexander McLean
of "Sea Wolf" fame at the helm. She carried a
crew of five men, but their names are not available,
the only one known being a half-breed named Forrest.
George H. Whitney and Frank Newhall, temporary
Inspectors of Steam Vessels at San Francisco, deliver-
ed their decision in the case of the steam-schooner
Gualala, which struck a reef, though without any dam-
age being done, off the Mendocino coast on January 6.
M. Kulnin, master of the Gualala, and Bernard John-
son, second-mate, were suspended for one year and
two years, respectively.
The tugboat Pioneer, at Port Townscnd, Wash., on
January 25, from San Francisco, reported that she was
compelled to drop the French ship Admiral Courbet
outside Cape Flattery on account of the rough weath-
er. The Admiral Courbet, as has already been re-
ported, lost her charter by not arriving on the Sound
in time. The Pioneer also reported that off the upper
Washington coast she had sighted a schooner bottom-
side-up and a schooner with her deckload shifted.
George W. Dickie, late of the Union Iron Works, of
San Francisco, has been selected by Manager Pearce
of .the Pacific Coast Steamship Company as the
owners' superintendent of construction of the new
steamer that is to be built for the company at Cam-
den, N. J., by the New York Shipbuilding Company.
Bid's for the steamer, which is designed to ply between
San Francisco and Puget Sound ports, were received
from Pacific Coast firms as well as Eastern concerns,
At a meeting in Portland, Or., on January 22, be-
tween the wholesale dealers of that city, representa-
tives of the Harriman system and John E. Ballaine,
representing the Alaska Central Railroad, which is con-
structing a road to the interior of Alaska from Se-
ward, arrangements were made whereby the Harriman
system is to establish a steamship line from Port-
land to Seward. The first sailing is scheduled for two
months hence.
The American wooden ship Elwell has been sold by
the California Shipping Company, of San Francisco,
to the Seattle Shipping Company for $10,000. The
Elwell is an old vessel, and along with others, like the
Nicholas Thayer, and the schooners Martha W. Tuft
and Vega, has passed into the hands of Puget Sound
firms, who are alive to the bargains that are offered by
shipowners. The future movements of the Elwell and
the others of the old-time fleet are not known.
The new steamer Bessie Dollar, under command of
Captain Gow, left Coronel, Chile, on January 21, en
route to San Francisco from Glasgow, Scotland, where
she was recently launched, and other European ports,
where she took in cargo for the coast. The vessel is
the latest addition to the extensive fleet of the Robert
Dollar Steamship Company, and, like her sister-ship,
the Hazel Dollar, was constructed upon the most mod-
ern ideas. She will be used in the lumber and freight
trade between the coast and the Orient.
At a conference between wholesale merchants and
shipping men of San Francisco and John E. Ballaine
of Seattle, representing the Alaska Central Railway Co.,
to be held in the former city during the preesnt week,
the question of a line of steamers to ply between San
Francisco and Seward, the new city on the south coast
of Alaska, will be discussed. It is understood that if
the local wholesale dealers will agree to send repre-
sentatives North to work for business in the new dis-
trict that is being opened up by the railroad company
a local shipping company will at once put on one
steamer.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company 's steamer
Valencia, from San Francisco for Puget Sound ports,
went ashore about ten miles east of Cape Beale, on the
coast of Vancouver Island, B. O, at midnight on Jan-
uary 22. A heavy southwest gale and dense fog pre-
vailed at the time. The Valencia carried a crew of
sixty and about 100 passengers. Of these only thirty-
seven were saved, some having landed in boats, and
others being picked up on rafts. Of those saved,
thirteen were passengers and twenty-four members of
the crew. There were many women and children on
board. A number of these were drowned by the
swamping of the boats, and the remainder refused to
go on the rafts, but remained by the ship until she
broke up. All efforts at rescue proved unavailing ow-
ing to the rocky nature of the coast and the heavy
seas that prevailed.
The report of C. W. Dorr, Secretary of the Alaska
Packers ' Association, recently made public, shows that
sixteen canneries were operated during the season,
and the pack of salmon amounted to 1,139,721 cases,
an average of over 70,000 cases per cannery, by far
the highest average ever attained. Of salt salmon,
5,257 barrels were packed. Artificial hatching of sal-
mon was prosecuted most diligently, about 108,000,000
eggs having been taken. Bonds in the sum of $2,-
000,000 were issued, yielding $1,900,000 net, the pro-
ceeds being applied in the discharge of outstanding
obligations. Although a substantial loss had to be
charged against the year 's business, this, the secre-
tary states, was attributable to the abnormal market
conditions and to disturbed industrial conditions in
the United Kingdom. The current indebtedness had
been reduced from $4,536,061.02 to $1,624,493.87.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn
that there is at least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall 's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Vigorit, New Explosive.
A new explosive has been invented by Dr.
G. Schulz, of Munich, and Mr. Fritz Gehre,
an engineer, of Pullach, Bavaria, which has
been given the name " Vigorit. "
The inventors claim that the new explo-
sive is absolutely safe against friction or con-
cussion ; that it can only be fired by an elec-
tric current; it can not be affected by water,
and is therefore safe for transportation on
land as well as by water. Fire does not ex-
plode vigorit; it simply burns it up. Vigorit
is free of poisonous gases after the discharge,
and therefore well adapted for mining pur-
poses. The new explosive can be made in
different grades, and it is further claimed to
be particularly well adapted for the filling of
charges for heavy guns. For this latter pur-
pose the inventors claim the cost of produc-
tion will be 110 marks ($26.18) for 100 kilo-
grams (220.46 pounds) while picric acid,
which up to now has almost exclusively .been
used for this purpose, costs 300 marks
($71.40) for 100 kilograms. For other pur-
poses vigorit can be produced at 70 marks
($16.66) for 100 kilograms, including all ex-
penses, at the same time offering the advan-
tage of being lighter than all other similar ex-
plosives. To demonstrate the merits of the
new explosive different experiments have been
made under the supervision of men of expe-
rience, such as mining engineers, officers of
the army, and other experts, and the result
was pronounced to be highly successfid.
Arrangements are now under way for per-
mits to transport vigorit on the railroads.
Until these are completed the component parts
of the explosive have to be shipped separate-
ly. Pending the adjustment of all similar
obstacles the manufacture of vigorit is being
conducted in a small way at Pullach. It is
proposed, however, later to erect large plants
for the manufacture of the new explosive in
the northern part of Bavaria, where better
waterways for the transportation of raw ma-
terial and coal will cheapen the cost of pro-
duction. The inventors expect to be able to
do heavy business with the United States or
else to dispose to some American enterprising
company their patent rights at a satisfactory
figure.
The organization of manufacturers in Ger-
many has resulted in a large increase of lock-
outs. In 1901 they numbered 35; in 1902.
46 ; in 1903, 70 ; and in 1904, 120. This shows
an increase of 70 per cent from 1903 to 1904,
whereas the number of strikes only increased
by 36 per cent. In the period of 1901 to
1904, about 53 per cent of the strikes proved
more or less successful, against 71 per cent
of the lockouts. It would seem, therefore,
that the associated manufacturers were hold-
ing their own against the labor unions. The
recent strike in the textile districts of Saxony
and Thuringia, which lasted four weeks, cost
the labor organization the sum of $347,000.
Consul Masterson, of Aden, writes that one
of the most important feeders of the great
Cape to Cairo railway has almost been com-
pleted in the building of a line from the Su-
dan country across Egypt to the east, and hav-
ing for its outlet a point on the Red Sea just
north of Suakim. The name of the terminus
point of the road on the Red Sea has been
called Port Sudan, and it is hoped to make
this new port not only a railroad point but a
great distributing center for the Red Sea
coast and across on the Arabian shore.

SUBSIDIES AND SENATE BILL 27.
The digest of American maritime law pub-
lished in this issue has been compiled by An-
drew Furuseth, the Seamen's legislative rep-
resentative at Washington, D. C. The imme-
diate purpose of the compilation is to facili-
tate the judgment of Senators and Represen-
tatives upon the maritime legislation now-
pending in Congress. Mr. Furuseth 's work in
this connection will prove invaluable, being
the result of long experience and conscien-
tious investigation of the subject. The Ship
Subsidy bill and Senate Bill 27 are designed
ostensibly to improve the personnel of the
American merchant marine. Intelligent ac-
tion upon these measures can only be assured
by a knowledge of the tendency and effect of
previous legislation enacted upon the same
ostensible basis and at the instance of the
same interests. The digest of such legislation
herewith presented indicates, and indeed
proves, a tendency and effect directly con-
trary to those assumed in the case of the meas-
ures now under consideration. It is shown
that much of the legislation heretofore enact-
ed for the purpose of "aiding" the merchant
marine has resulted merely in relieving the
shipowner from responsibilities which it is to
the best interests of the merchant marine that
he should carry. Again, it is shown that such
legislation has placed burdens upon the sea-
man which the latter will not and can not
carry, with the residt that the seaman— that
is, the experienced and efficient seaman — has
become an almost extinct species. The Ship
Subsidy bill and Senate Bill 27, as these now
stand, promise nothing more than a repetition
and accentuation of these experiences. What-
ever Congress may do in the present circum-
stances, it can not plead lack of information
on the subject.
The Fishermen's Protective Union of the
ic Coast and Alaska will meet in Sailors'
Union Hall, corner of East and Mission
streets, San Francisco, on Friday, February
2, at 7:30 p. m. Nominations for officers will
be made and other important business will be
transacted. All members in port are urged
to attend.
THE POST AND THE SEAMEN.
The horror of the Valencia disaster is intensified by
palpable indication that a craven crew seized at least
two of the boats and deserted the Bhip, leaving the
igers to perish. It does not lessen the dastardly
character of the conduct of these men to know that
the remainder of the erew were drowned. Either the
other seamen were brave men or they were less for-
tunate than these poltroons; either they staved by the
ship, endeavoring to save the helpless passengers, or
they seized the boats as these men did and were
swamped in the tempestuous waters. There is so little
of the heroic in this tragedy that we would prefer to
think of those drowned sailors ns of the dead who sac-
rificed themselves to save those who could not save
themselves. » » *
As for the crew that descried these helpless, terror-
crazed passengers, taking away their boats and per-
haps destroying lives to save their own worthless lives
—as for these cowards, perhaps there is no punishment
the contempt and hatred of their fellow-men.—
Evening Post.
The newspapers of San Francisco, generally
speaking, have displayed unusual good sense
in the matter of placing the blame for the
wreck of the steamer Valencia; that is, they
have as yet said nothing on the point. The
exceptions to this rule are noteworthy, not
only by cunt rast with the reserved attitude of
their contemporaries, but also by the extreme,
not to say absurd, tone which they have
adopted. The foregoing reprint from the edi-
torial columns of the Evening Post, of Janu-
ary 2."), is an example in point.
Before considering the Post's charges of
cowardice on the part of the Valencia's crew,
let us look at the facts, so far as these have
been made public. The Valencia went ashore
about midnight on Monday, January 22. On
Tuesday a boat containing six volunteers,
mostly members of the crew, commanded by
Boatswain McCarthy, put off from the wreck,
under orders from Captain Johnson to make
a landing and seek assistance. This object
was accomplished, McCarthy being, in fact,
the first man to convey news of the wreck,
which news was forwarded from Cape Beale
lighthouse on Tuesday afternoon. In the
meantime, several boats had been launched
from the Valencia, into which a number of
passengers, including several women and chil-
dren, were put. These boats were swamped
alongside and their occupants drowned, with
the exception of one or two men, who man-
aged to clamber on board the wreck again.
Later several rafts were launched, containing
a number of men, including both passengers
and crew. The women and children still re-
maining on board were urged to jump for the
rafts, but refused to do so, preferring to take
the chance of being rescued from the wreck
by some other and apparently less risky
means. On Wednesday a number of steamers
and tugs appeared on the scene, but, beyond
picking up a raft, these vessels were unable to
render any assistance owing to the conditions
of the weather and the nature of the coast.
While the relief vessels were still cruising in
the vicinity the Valencia went to pieces, and
those on board were drowned.
Such, in brief, are the facts, so far as known
at the present writing. These facts may not
be sufficient to justify the acquittal of all
parties concerned of any blame for the loss of
life, but they certainly are sufficient to war-
rant, and indeed compel, a suspension of
judgment. The tenor of the Post's remarks
shows doubt concerning the particulars of the
case. On one point, however, the Post is quite
clear; it is certain that the crew were cowards.
Of course, no particulars are needed to prove
that assumption !
Now, as to the Post's charge of cowardice.
In what circumstance of the affair does that
paper find a "palpable indication" of coward-
ice? In the fact that a boat containing men
exclusively reached land in safety? That fact
has been explained as a circumstance indicat-
ing bravery rather than cowardice. In the
fact that the rafts which were picked up con-
tained men rxclusiveiy? That fact has been
explained as a circumstance indicating fear
on the part of the women to risk their lives on
the rafts. The "palpable indication" of cow-
ardice, in the judgmenl of the Post, consists
in the fact that a number of men were saved,
while all the women and children were
drowned! Evidently the only thing for a
shipwrecked seaman to do, if he would escape
condemnation at the bands of the Post, is to
"go down with the ship" — and stay down.
Even the latter course won't insure fair fame
in the columns of the Post unless the victims
of the new code shall take the precaution to
notify that paper that they went down be-
cause they wanted to, not merely because they
were "less fortunate" than their "poltroon"
shipmates. Seamen will take notice that there
must be no doubt in the matter; they must
certify to their own courage, otherwise the
Post will give them no credit on that score!
The Bulletin, also an evening paper, joins
iis contemporary, but with less directness, in
a charge, or at any rate a pretty broad hint.
of cowardice against the crew of the Valencia.
The Bulletin says :
Iii connection with the disastrous wreck of the Va-
lencia the fact excites comment and calls for Investiga-
tion that the thirty-two persons who were saved are all
men, and that of these nineteen were members of the
erew and only thirteen were passengers. There were
fourteen women and four children aboard the ship, and
all of them perished. It is hoped, for the honor of
our merchant marine, thai this result is purely for-
tuitous and that the rule, ••women and children first,"
was observed iii filling the boats and rafts. If the
had been composed of Chinese or Frenchmen, or
members of any race which is classed n.s excitable in
the traditions of the "Anglo-Saxons," the fact of so
many of the crew, so few of the men passengers and
none of the women and children being saved would be
seized upon at once for flattering comparison with our
own stern, high courage on occasions of supreme peril
at sen.
The Bulletin may console itself with tb
(lection that the "honor of our merchant ma-
rine" and the •'traditions of the 'Anglo-
Saxons' " are quite safe. The facts show
that efforts were made to save the ••women
and children first," which efforts failed owing
to the "purely fortuitous" circumstance thai
the boats were swamped.
As usual in the case of every shipwreck in-
volving the loss of lives — that is, of passen-
gers' lives — a great deal of premature and
hysterica] talk has followed the wreck of the
Valencia. Charges, many of which are ab-
surd and most of which are imaginative, are
hurled at all and sundry responsible in any
way for the navigation of the vessel. The
surviving passenger who has smelt, or at any
rate tasted, salt water for the first time in
his life gives his version of the affair and the
causes leading thereto. If the narrator has
lost his wife and children in the wreck, that
circumstance adds value to his story — at least
for newspaper purposes— as it undoubtedly
increases his capacity for impartial judgment !
We do not pretend to pass upon the merit of
the charges made in the present instance. On
the contrary, the writer is free to acknowl-
edge that an experience of thirty years" active
participation in maritime affairs unfits him
for debate with the gentlemen of the press,
who know so much about shipwrecks ami
other things maritime that can not possibly
be known to the practical seaman.
After all is said and done, there may be
something in the Post's charges of cowardice.
That subject — the subject of cowardice; — is
one that the Post is familiar with in a per-
sonal way. The editor of that paper himself
knows how it feels to be called a coward.
Judging from that individual's attitude, he
)
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
rather admires the soft impeachment and
takes pride in it. Perhaps he intended to
compliment the Valencia's crew by character-
izing them as "cowards," "cravens" and
"poltroons." Possibly, cowardice is a matter
of the point of view ; in some minds it may be
fear to do right, in others it may be fear to do
wrong. Editor Garrett, of the Post, probably
views the matter from the latter standpoint,
since he is evidently not afraid to openly af-
front the public sense of right. To the man
who has sold himself times without number,
and who upon each occasion has displayed
equal glory in his degradation, the charge of
cowardice must seem mild, if not actually
complimentary. If Editor Garrett really de-
sires to express disesteem for the Valencia's
crew, he must characterize them by some term
of opprobrium that has not yet been applied
to himself — if he can find one.
We have dealt thus at length with the
charges made by the Post, as much with a
view to common justice toward the Valencia's
seamen as to rebuking their foolish and un-
principled slanderer. That the crew of the
Valencia did their duty, that they did all that
could possibly be done to save the lives of all
on board is evidenced by all the facts that
have come to hand, whatever may be the evi-
dence of the imagination, inspired by a sensa-
tional press. In this respect the seamen — sail-
ors, firemen, cooks, waiters and officers — of
the Valencia have simply maintained the tra-
ditions of the Pacific Coast; they have done
what their comrades, the real seamen of all
coasts and of all waters, have always done and
are still doing. The seamen of the Pacific
Coast have no reason to fear the dirty libels
of Garrett and his prostituted sheet, since
slander from that source is an evidence of vir-
tue in the object or person attacked.
JENKS ON THE CHINESE.
Of course, all sensible men are in accord
with President Roosevelt in his effort to make
things pleasant for the Imperial Chinese
Commissioners now visiting the United States.
But it is one thing to express the sentiments
of international courtesy, and quite another
thing to express contempt for or defiance of
the laws of the country. With the former at-
titude we have no fault to find; with the lat-
ter we entirely and emphatically disagree.
The language of Professor Jenks with refer-
ence to the classes of Chinese who shall be
welcomed to the United States is entirely
without warrant and, in fact, conveys an in-
ference contrary to the express terms of the
Jaw on the subject.
In order to correct the misapprehension
likely to be created by the language of Pro-
fessor Jenks the Japanese and Korean Exclu-
sion League, at a recent meeting, adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, Professor J. W. Jenks of Cornell Uni-
versity, special representative of President Roosevelt
and of the United States Government to receive the
representatives of the Chinese Government, now visit-
ing this country, is reported by the press of San Fran-
cisco as having used the following language in his
address of welcome to the Chinese Commissioners at
San Francisco on January 12, 1906, to wit:
"You know, of course, the President said that while
for good and sufficient reasons, well understood by the
governments of both nations, it is and will be the pol-
icy of this country to exclude Chinese laborers, mem-
bers of other classes, such as business men, and es-
pecially students and scholars and the officials who are
shaping your governmental policy, we are very glad to
welcome. Those persons who represent as well on the
one hand the energy and the upright business methods
of your wonderful people and on the other exemplify
the worth and dignity of your scholarship and the re-
fined culture handed down from remote antiquity, ren-
der both countries by their coming the greatest serv-
ices, and we trust that we shall have the privilege of
welcoming all such in increasing numbers ; ' ' and,
Whereas, this statement of the President's views
concerning the admission of Chinese to the United
States implies a complete reversal of the present policy
of Chinese Exclusion as set forth by the Chinese Exclu-
sion Act, which includes ' ' all classes of Chinese persons
or persons of Chinese descent, ' ' other than members of
those classes expressly excepted, i. e., "officials of the
Government, merchants, students and travelers for
pleasure and curiosity;" and,
Whereas, the suggested policy of admitting all
classes of Chinese except Chinese laborers, would
effectually destroy the Chinese Exclusion Act, by
reason of the impossibility of detecting the Chinese
laborer, or proving his identity as such, in the mass
of immigration that would certainly follow the adop-
tion of that policy; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Executive Board of the Japanese
and Korean Exclusion League, that we disapprove the
expressions of Professor Jenks in this connection, as
being without warrant in law, contrary to public policy
and dangerous to the public welfare ; further
Resolved, that we reiterate our insistence upon the
strict maintenance of the Chinese Exclusion Act, in ac-
cordance with the will of the American people and with
a view primarily to the protection of the American
people from contact with the repugnant peoples and
institutions of the Orient.
Judged by the mere letter of Professor
Jenks' address to the Chinese Commissioners,
the attitude of the Japanese and Korean Ex-
clusion League may seem hypercritical. But,
judged by the circumstances leading up to
and surrounding the reception of the distin-
guished visitors, the attitude of the League is
fully justified as a simple measure of precau-
tion. Professor Jenks was the personal rep-
resentative of President Roosevelt, and his
speech was undoubtedly conned over, if not
dictated, in the White House, with a view to
its effect upon the Chinese people in general.
Another significant circumstance of the occa-
sion is contained in the fact that Professor
Jenks is a radical anti-Exclusionist. During
the recent National Conference on Immigra-
tion, held in New York City, that gentleman
held out for a resolution extending a general
invitation to the people of China, maintaining
his position on this point even after his pro-
Chinese colleagues had abandoned it as an
altogether too outspoken renunciation of the
Exclusion policy.
The entire performance in San Francisco
during the stay in that city of the Chinese
Commissioners savored of obsequiousness
rather than of dignified hospitality. The
Commissioners were given plainly to under-
stand that we — that is, the commercial and
diplomatic element — are afraid of something
and anxious to run away from that something,
regardless of the humiliating spectacle pre-
sented to the world. The country owes a debt
of gratitude to the Japanese and Korean Ex-
clusion League for having covered the retreat
of John P. Irish and his fellow-windjammers.
A course of University Extension Lectures
will be delivered at the South Park Settle-
ment, 86 South Park, San Francisco, begin-
ning Wednesday, February 7, and continuing
on each succeeding Wednesday for twelve
weeks. The general subject of the lectures is
entitled, "The Histoiy of Trade-Unionism,"
and each meeting will be devoted to a partic-
ular phase of that subject. The lecturer,
Carleton Parker, B. S., formerly a member of
the Western Federation of Miners, has made
a lengthy study of the subject, and his views
will undoubtedly prove interesting and in-
structive. The admission fee to each lecture
will be 10 cents ; tickets admitting to the whole
course, $1.
The Japanese and Korean Exclusion League
will meet in Unity Hall, 927 Mission street,
San Francisco, on Sunday, February 4, at 2
p. m. Upon that occasion the Executive
Board will report upon its work since the pre-
vious meeting of the League, and many ques-
tions of importance will be discussed. A full
attendance of delegates is urgently requested.
Regular meetings of the League will hereafter
be held on the first Sunday of the month.

Better Fit-Otit for Boats.
Vesselmen arc giving the question of hatch
fasteners much attention and many changes
will be made along that line in new steamers
that will come out this year. The ideas of the
owners differ on that point but they are all
working with the same end in view and that
is to provide their boats with the best and saf-
est device. That question was discussed at the
recent conference of the officials of the Pitts-
burg Steamship Company and the masters of
the steamers of the fleet, and the officials of
the Company will take the matter up with ex-
perts before they will decide on which system
will be adopted.
Other changes will probably be made in the
fit outs of the boats and everything possible
will be done to make the boats safe in all
kinds of weather.
John D. Sloane, Supervising Inspector for
the Fifth District of the steamboat inspection
service. Eavors rigid rules for the inspection of
vessels which will tend toward the saving of
life in cases where vessels strand as they did
in the storm of November 28. He has for-
warded his recommendations to the Super-
vising Inspector I ieneral.
It is said that the department of Commerce
and Labor is very much interested in the big
storm of November and wishes to learn what
it can do to help prevent a repetition of the
loss of life which occurred at that time.
The first recommendation which he makes is
that "hatches should be better secured. Com-
bings of same should be higher and stronger.
They are often injured by unloading devices,
and left in such condition until winter."
This is a recommendation which almost
everybody connected with the vessel business
has already expressed himself as favoring.
With the hatching gone a ship stands a poor
chance to weather heavy seas. On the ocean
they have what is called a "true sea" while
in a storm on the Great Lakes the seas are
erratic, which makes the danger greater. The
other recommendations follow :
"Decks and supports to hatches should be
more substantial.
"Deck houses and pilot houses should be
built stronger and more securely fastened to
decks.
"Load lines should be established.
"Stronger and belter steering gear should
be provided.
"Line carrying projectiles should be re-
quired.
"A passage way under the upper main deck
or spar deck should be provided on each side
of the vessel, so that persons could go from
one end of the ship to the other in safety
when the vessel is in a seaway.
"Long vessels should have a stay lead from
one mast to the other, with block and tackle
with breeches buoy attached, so that persons
could be transferred from one end of the ship
to the other in case of vessel stranding.
"The true meaning of the word 'life-boat'
should be defined in the rules. There are boats
not having air tight tanks in either end or
along the sides that are classed as lifeboats by
the inspectors."
These suggestions are very timely. If
there had been such rules in effect there is
small doubt that the crew of the Mataafa
could have been saved. If all vessels were
provided with a passage under the deck the
crews of the Mataafa and the Sevona might be
alive today. Another thing might be added,
namely, a chock, or rowlock in the stern of
all lifeboats for a steering oar.
To Explore for Iron.
The coming season promises to witness a
greater amount of exploratory work in pro-
gress in the Crystal Falls and Iron River-
Stambaugh districts of Iron county than has
been conducted heretofore in the history of
thai portion of the Menominee range. Inde-
pendent interests which, in the matter of ore
supplies, are nol so well fortified for the future
as is the steel corporation are in active quest
of mineral properties, and some important
deals have recently been closed.
Ores that were sneered a1 five years ago are
being eagerly snapped up today. In the
western portion of the Mesaba range, where
the immense deposits of ore are badly mixed
with sand, the steel corporation is putting in
an expensive plant to remove by a washing
process the waste material from the mineral.
Low grade ores thai were a drug on the mar-
ket are being sought these days, and their
value is constantly increasing.
Iron county, with its large acreage of min-
eral bearing lands, has been overlooked dur-
ing the scramble for the more cheaply mined
deposits on the Mesaba. but after many years,
attention has again been turned its way and
during the last few months a number of prop-
erties have passed into the hands of iron
makers. Those first on the ground long be-
fore the present boom set in, the Corrigan-
McKinney company of Cleveland, are well
fortified in this portion of the Menominee and
have large land holdings which they are ex-
ploring at their leisure. But there are other
promising tracts and these are steadily be-
ing absorbed.
Among the newer interests in Iron county,
Pickands, Mather & Co., and the Mineral
Mining Co., affiliated with the Pewabic, are
opening up mines. Others are the ShenangQ
Iron Co., the Consumers' Ore Co., and the
Buffalo & Susquehanna Iron Co., a corpora-
tion in which the well known pig iron firm of
Rogers, Brown & Co. is paramount All these
latter have men in the field investigating the
merits of various tracts, and a number of
transfers are in process of consummation.
Two deals of importance closed recently
were negotiated by the Buffalo & Susquehan-
na company. In one case an option was taken
for a lease of the Hiawatha mine, in the
Stambaugh district, and in the other the so-
called D. M. & M. lands, north of the village
of Iron River were taken over. Diamond drills
will at once be put into commission on the
wist Hiawatha and D. M. & M. lands and
both tracts given a test.
Lumber from Duluth.
"William S. Cleaves, proprietor of the Port-
age Lake Foundry & Machine Works, is at the
head of a movement to build a drydock at
Hancock to cost $500,000. Mr. Cleaves' plan
is to build a dock large enough to accommo-
date the largest Lake steamers, and he pro-
poses to build it with local capital.
I'. M. Shaw. dr.. & Co.. lumber brokers of
Duluth, have compiled some interesting sta-
tistics of the lumber industry at the head of
the Lakes and vicinity for 1905, together with
comparisons for preceding years. The total
amount of lumber shipped from the Duluth-
Superior harbor for the year is given at 299,-
000,000 feet, as compared with 294,000,000
feel in 1904. In addition to this there was
received at Duluth-Superior K>9.000,000 feet
of lumber for shipment in vessels from the
interior mills, and also 7,000,000 feet of fir
consigned to Lake Erie, making a grand total
of lumber shipments from the harbor of 475,-
000,000 feet as compared with total shipments
in 1904 of 417,000,000 feet.
The shipments through Duluth harbor from
interior mills last year amounted to 123.000,-
000 feet, The amount of lumber shipped this
year from Two Harbors was 56,000,000 feet as
compared with 57,000,000 feet in 1904.
Lumber manufactured on the Duluth-Su-
perior harbor this year amounted to 292.000,-
000 feet, as compared with 2S5.000.000 feet
in 1904. Total amount of lumber on dock De-
cember 1. last year, was 89.000.000 feet, of
which 33,000,000 feet was unsold. The
amount unsold on the same date in 1904 was
51,000,000 feet, and the total on dock was 96,-
000,000 feet. The average freighl rate last
year was $2.15 per thousand feet, as compar-
ed with $2.26 in 1904. and the last cargo left
on December 7.

"Want Marine Hospital.
The Buffalo lodge of the Shipmasters' As-
sociation has appointed a committee to collect
data relative to the Marine Hospital Service
preliminary to the demand to be made for the
establishment of a hospital at Buffalo.
The shipmasters are strongly in favor of
a Marine Hospital. They object to the con-
tract system. The chairman of the committee
has explained the financial side of the Marine
Hospital Service. At one time an assessment
was levied on all sailors from the captain
down. The amount was 20 cents a month.
Theis scheme began many years ago and con-
tinued in force until 1884, since when the
Service has been maintained by a tax on for-
eign tonnage. It is not generally known how
much was raised by the monthly assessments
or whether any of it is still in the Government
vaults.
All the associations of Lakemen arc inter-
ested in the hospital question. The announce-
ment a fortnight ago that the contract system
was to be introduced at Chicago, Detroit, and
Cleveland aroused them to the need of imme-
diate action. The International Seamen's
Union acted first, sending the chairman of its
legislative committee to Washington, D. C.
The opposition to the proposed economical
projects of Secretary Shaw is growing daily.
The shipmasters, the marine engineers and
the Lake pilots will each take action to induce
Congress to grant their wishes.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast.
(Continued from page 3.)
The Canal Muddle.
Poultaey Bigelow's account, in the New
Turk Independent, of the chaotic conditions
on the Isthmus of Panama, and particularly
in Colon, seems to have touched the Adminis-
tration in a more than usually sensitive spot.
Unfortunately, or otherwise, Mr, Bigelow is
not a journalistic "declassee," whose state-
ments can be dismiss. m1 as the output of an
"irresponsible investigator of a sensational
habit of mind" who is "desirous of obtaining
notoriety by widespread slander," to quote
the President's Panama Canal Message. Curi-
ously enough, Mr. Bigelow's description of the
filthy and unsanitary state of Colon coincides
exactly with the present writer's personal
observations of that place, made during a resi-
dence of three months in 1880. It is there-
fore apparent that the Administration's
claims of progress on the Isthmus must be ac-
cepted with the proverbial grain of salt, for
it is hardly conceivable that Mr. Bigelow's
description of present conditions in Colon
should tally so exactly with the known condi-
tions in 1880 if there had been any improve-
ment at all in the meantime. Prom this it
may fairly be deduced that the Administra-
tive fiasco in the Canal Zone is due to that
modern get-results-quick spirit which impels
us as a people to do everything superficially
and nothing thoroughly. As some one has
sarcastically observed, things nowadays are
made to sell, not to wear. This is a bad spirit-
for any nation to cultivate, for it is exactly
the kind of spirit which drives short-sighted
individuals into balancing financial and other
pyramids on their apexes for no other reason
than to make a temporary showing of a de-
ceptively solid front. Also, the muddle of the
Panama Canal enterprise is a first-class ex-
emplification of the truth of the old saw that
too many cooks spoil the broth. If our pub-
lic-service corporations needed any additional
arguments against the policy of Government
construction, operation and control of public
utilities, they would be amply supplied by
the dismal failure of the Government to
"make good" its promises anent the Panama
Canal.
The Kev. Owen R. Lovejoy, secretary of
the National Child-Labor Committee, recently
said:
This country is making the same mistake that Eng-
land made 'luring the last century. We are spinning
ml girls into cotton, or wearing
them out in glass factories, sweatshops and coal mines.
We are sacrificing them to the great American idea
of turning out the largest output of goods at the least
expense, without weighing the moral consequences.
We are making them into mere machines Lnsti
intelligent citizens.
Yes, and the "eminent citizens" who grow
fat and prosper on this child-labor abomina-
tion are among the foremost in that little class
of silk-hat patriots who take nearly all the
credit to themselves for "our national great-
ness and prosperity." When one contem-
plates the monumental egotism of these self-
sufficient scoundrels one begins to understand
why the doctrine of total depravity is so hard
to upset.
Since the railroads abolished free p
General Grosvenor, of Ohio, has suddenly dis-
covered that the Government is paying the
railroads at least $10,000,000 a year too much
for carrying the mails. It beats the devil how
circumstances do alter cases.
Fag Ends.
The greatest truths were first conceived in
doubt.
Work for the Initiative and Referendum
and the Recall !
Doubt is the friend of knowledge and the
foe of superstition.
The one mistake in Nature's plan is surely
that poor fool called "Man."
Revere the truth, her language speak; for
truth is mighty, falsehood weak.
Those whom toil and poverty repel are
seldom shocked by tainted wealth.
Forbear to quibble or equivocate, no truth
impresses like a truth told straight
'Tis only those who fear toil's honesl -rime
who envy the prosperity of crime.
Great wealth in spots and wide-spread pov-
erty, when mixed, make "national prosper-
ity."
If Providence were willing to settle men's
dissensions 'twould be just like us humans to
doubt her good intentions.
From all specious creeds and dogmaB let lis
hold our minds aloof; circumstantial evi-
dence is not equivalent to proof.
That ancient and lofty maxim. "Noblesse
oblige," is evidently out of date with our
"best citizens" judging from the examples
they are setting the rest of us in civic and
domestic virtues and financial honesty.
It seems rather paradoxical that the favor-
ite slogan of most "progressive" reformers
should be "back to the — " something or other.
But, then, most modern reforms are in a sense
retrogressive in character in that their achieve-
ment implies going back to some principle or
principles previously abandoned.
So far it has been widely assumed that the
only way in which a man can "perjure him-
self like a gentleman" is in the defense of
a woman's honor, but the case with which
our multi-millionaire aristocrats annually
"swear off" their taxes would seem to suggest
that in the estimation of this generation money
is even as sacred as a woman's honor.
Leading educators of the State of New
Jersey have come to the conclusion that wo-
men school-teachers make boys effeminate,
and have started a movement to oust them
from the public schools and install men in
their places. If this craze for reforms holds
out, we may yet see the persuasive rod rein-
stated in the public schools. As a transmuter
of bad boys into good citizens nothing quite
equals the old-fashioned birch of "the fa-
thers."
It is now said, upon apparently reliable au-
thority, that the only way in which Brother
C. W. Post can get his "Square Deal" scat-
tered around a bit is to present a copy gratia
with each package of "Postum". This puts
it in the class of those inexpensive almanacs
and chromo-lithographs that are "given away
with a pound of tea. ' '

When you are buying a FUR HAT, either soft or
stiff, see to It that the Genuine Union Label Is sewed
in it. The Genuine Union Label Is perforated on the
four edges exactly the same as a postage stamp. If a retailer has loose labels
in his possession and offers to put one in a hat for you, do not patronize him.
Loose labels in retail stores are counterfeits. Unprincipled manufacturers are
using them in order to get rid of their scab-made hats. The John B. Stetson
Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., Is a non-union concern.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
World's WorKers.
During 1904 the registered trade-
unions in Queensland, Australia, expend-
ed ti338 in benefits to members, £o45
going in sick, superannuation, and fu-
neral par, and £730 for unemployed.
The Amending Arbitration Bill which
threatened to obliterate the New South
Wales Arbitration Act, was dropped by
the Carruthers' "Reform" Government
at the end of the session recently eon-
eluded.
The Victorian (Australia) Government
has promised to ''further consider" the
question of reinstating the engine driv-
n ho were members of the strikers '
executive committee during the recent
railway strike in that State.
An industrial award, amicably arrang-
ed by the New South Wales Wire-netting
Workers' pnion and .Messrs. Lysaght
Bros. & Co., has been signed by the
President of the State Arbitration
Court, and comes into force on Febru-
ary 12.
The Australian Federal Parliament
has adopted the union label clause of
the Trade Marks bill, under which trade-
unions may secure the protection of
their labels. The debate on the proposi-
tion was the longest in the history of the
Parliament.
The Sydney (Australia) Wharf LaboT
era' Union is greatly dissatisfied with a
recent decision of the New South Wales
Compulsory Arbitration Court, which, it
is charged, lias lowered rather than im-
proved their conditions. "The result of
the Wharf Laborers' appeal," sa>-s the
Waterside Workers' Gazette, "can only
be regarded as supremely ridiculous and
manifestly unfair."
Returns received from certain selected
ports (at which 80 per cent, of the total
British tonnage in the foreign trade is
entered and cleared) showed that, during
November, 33,535 separate shipments of
seamen were recorded on foreign-going
Is, an increase of 964 on the number
shipped in November, L904, The prin-
cipal increases were at Glasgow and Lon-
don, while the principal decreases oc
curred at Cardiff and Newport.
During the eleven completed months of
1905, 408,194 seamen were shipped on
British vessels at certain stated ports in
the United Kingdom, of whom .17,087 (or
14.1 per cent.) were foreigners. Com-
pared with the corresponding period of
1904, the total number shipped shows an
increase of 7,445. The greatest increases
occurred at Liverpool, Glasgow, and Lon-
don, and the greatest decreases at South-
ampton, Bristol, and Belfast.
A British Royal Commission has been
appointed to inquire into the working of
the laws relating to the relief of poor per-
sons in the United Kingdom, and the
various means which have been adopted
outside of the Poor-Laws for me
distress arising from want of employ-
ment, particularly during periods of se-
vere industrial depression, and to con-
sider and report whether any, and if so,
what, mollification of the Poor-Laws or
changes in their administration or fresh
legislation for dealing with distress, are
advisable.
No one may enter the Transvaal, South
\ f ri a without a permit no permit is
granted to any one unless he possesses
E20 on arrival, or has secured bona fide
employment beforehand. Letters written
there at the close of the year state that
affairs in Johannesburg and the Trans-
vaal generally show no signs of improve-
ment ; almost every trade complains of
stagnation, notwithstanding that usually
at this time of the year (December), ow-
ing to the approach of Christmas, trade is
fairly good. Distress in Johannesburg is
just as acute now as it was three months
ago, and a considerable number of per-
sons are receiving relief. Trade in Pre-
toria is reported to be "terribly dull,"
and labor to be plentiful.
San Francisco Letter List.

Sir Thomas Lipton has offered a $500
trophy for an ocean race among small
American yachts from New York to Ber-
muda, 500 miles.
Shipbuilding figures for the six
months ending December 31, show that
542 sail and steam vessels of 136,097
gross tons were built in the United
States. The figures for the correspond-
ing period of 1904 were 542 vessels, of
92,592 gross tons.
The four-masted schooner Helen B.
Crosby, the eleventh and I hr largest four-
master in the Crosby fleet, of Bath, Me.,
was launched on January 10. The
schooner was built for the general coast-
wise trade. She has a capacity of 2,700
tons and cost about $90,000.
The schooner Fannie Palmer went
ashore three-quarters of a mile north of
Little Island (Va.) Life-Saving Station
on January 9. Captain Nash and the
crew of eleven men were rescued in the
breeches buoy by surfmen from the Little
Island Life-Saving Station.
An iceberg, about 300 feet long and 70
feet high, was passed by the British
steamer Farringford at Philadelphia, Pa.,
from Sunderland, in latitude 45.57 north,
longitude 43.07 west. The same berg was
also passed by the British steamer Buenos
Ayrean at the same port from Glasgow.
The petition against the destruction of
the old frigate Constitution, signed by
30,000 residents of Massachusetts, was
presented to President Roosevelt on Janu-
ary 20. The President indicated that the
vessel ought to be preserved. He sug-
gested that she be rebuilt and sent to
Annapolis.
The bark Octavia has been wrecked off
the coast of the Province of Bu aos
Ayres, between Puerto Medanos and
Punta Megotes. The American Vice-
Consul of Bahia Blanca, Daniel Meyer,
was on board the vessel. The details are
unknown, but it is feared that all on
board were lost.
The Bureau of Navigation reports
that sixty-seven sail and steam vessels,
of 15,352 gross tons, were built in the
United States during December. The
largest steel steam vessel included in
these figures is the Eugene Zimmerman,
of 5,630 gross tons, built at Toledo, O.,
for the Craig Shipbuilding Company.
The steamer Olaf Kyrre, from Shields,
Eng., arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., on
January 15, with the crew of the bark
Cordillera, from St. John, N. B., for
Buenos Ayres. They were taken off the
bark on January 5. The Cordillera was
abandoned, water-logged and dismasted,
in latitude 24.41 N., longitude 41.56 W.
The Wildwood (N. Y.) Board of Trade
will make Washington's Birthday the oc-
casion of a big celebration, a feature of
which will lie the presentation of a gold
medal to Captain John Leonard. The
medal was voted to Captain Leonard by
Congress for saving the lives of ten of
the crew of the tugboat Spartan, which
foundered off the Delaware Breakwater,
on September 14, 1903. The rescue was
made in the face of grave danger to Cap-
tain Leonard's smack and all on board.

TOW-BARGEvS CONDEMNED.
Playing' Euchre WitK God Almighty.
Getting Bluffed in the Game.
AMONG the "dangers of the deep'' the tow-
barge still holds a foremost place. By way of
indicating the drift of sentiment on the sub-
jeet among the press and seamen, we reprint the fid-
lowing views. The Brockton (Mass.) Enterprise says:
"The coal barges are going to sea, and going to
the bottom with men and cargoes, in the same old way.
It is wonderful what men will do in -the interests of
business. Barges, as people know, are oftentimes
merely old ships or schooners or barks, with shortened
or chopped off masts and with the only motive power,
as a rule, furnished by the tow ing tug ahead. 1 f a
storm comes up, and the hawser breaks, and the tug
gets away from her charges in a gale or in a fog or
has to fly for her own life to some near-by pint, God
help the men left on the barge that remains tossing in
the gale like a chip, liable to be overwhelmed al anj
moment. In what are known as the 'coffins,' which
arc merely almost square boxes with no rudder, masts
or chance to make sail, the danger is of course the
greatest. They are absolutely dependent on the tug
and its crew.
But in the roughest times, in cold and sleet anil
fog these semi-helpless vessels go creeping behind
tugs through the heavy weather around the coasts,
making port here and there and discharging their coal,
and then going back empty to be filled again; and
i\'i', \:nr there is loss of life, imminent danger to
those who may escape, and suffering untold due to
some of the wrecks and to the fact that barges some-
times float in storms for days before they are picked
up and properly towed t" some port. Vet, there being
money in it, men continue to send them to sen, and
men continue to go with them, just as they go to mine
coal and make powder and high explosives."
Writing to similar purpose, the Virginian Pilot, of
Norfolk, Va., says:
"The setting adrift last week of the barge Bath by
the whaleback steamer Bayview serves to again direct
attention to the evil of deep-sea barge towing. I he
practice is one fraught with great danger, as has been,
unfortunately, only too well illustrated. The Atlantic
Coast Seamen's Union has time and again inveighed
against it and has made effort after effort to induce
Congress to break it up, but as yet its efforts have
been of no avail.
The practice is an extremely hazardous one even
under the best of conditions, but it becomes especially
so when, as it is claimed, is only too often the case,
the barges are not staunch and properly seaworthy.
These barges are towed a mile or a mile and a hall
astern, and in heavy weather, in case of an accident, it
is well nigh impossible for the tug to be signalled or,
if signalled, to render assistance. It also often hap-
pens that in a storm the strain on the towing vessel
becomes so great that, in order to save itself from
foundering, it has to cast its tow adrift to the mercy
of the wind and the waves. In this event, unless the
barge is perfectly seaworthy and staunch, the chances
are that it will founder and the entire crew be lost.'
Only too often has this happened, neither barge nor
crew being heard of again.
Barges are used extensively in the coal-carrying
trade between Norfolk and Newport News and New-
England ports. The seamen claim that many of the
barges used in this trade are by no means seaworthy,
that they are old wooden schooners and other sailing
vessels or steel hulls of steamers converted into coal
carriers when they are no longer able to pass inspec-
tion. If this be true, and it seems to be, to send such
barges to sea is to invite if not to insure disaster.
While the Virginian-Pilot is not prepared to say
that deep-sea towing of barges should be prohibited
altogether, it does say that Congress should enact leg-
islation prohibiting the sending to sea of any barge
which is not in every respect perfectly seaworthy and
so equipped that its crew can navigate it easily and
safely in the event it is parted from or is cast adrift
by the towing vessel. This much is demanded in the
interest of common humanity, if by no other consider-
ation. ' '
The following comment on the Virginian-Pilot 's
views was written for and published in that paper by
.lames II. Williams, a member of the Atlantic Coast
Seamen's Union and a well-known correspondent of
the Journal:
"The timely and pertinent article which appeared in
today's issue of the Virgi n ian- 1 'ilot anent the prob-
able loss of the iou barge Bath, with all on board,
calls attention again, for the thousandth time, to a
grave and growing maritime danger which has long
been a source of appalling disaster; a widespread

It has often been claimed i,\ the criminal owners of
these Moating collins and their advocates, in Congress
and elsewhere, that the protests of the organized
men and others, urged against this continuance, have
been inspired solely by motives of self -interest.
lie that as it may, but the I'act still remains that
no men either ashore or afloat, except the miserable
wretches who annually perish in theii miserable hulks
— helples-s sacrifices to the cupidity of the consolidated
barge-owners of the Atlantic Coast — realize so well as
we do the constant menace to human life and floating
property beside their own which the 'barge evil' con
stitutes.
There exists on this coast to-day a large and con-
stantly growing aggregation of unwieldy ballahoos,
euphoniously called barges, which constitute by far
the most 'serious source of danger with which the sailor
has to contend.
The natural dangers of his calling the sailor accepts
as a matter of course, and with these, in a well-found
vessel, he is ever ready to contend.
But the 'barge evil' in itself presents an unnatural
— an artificial — danger with which under certain con-
ditions he is totally unable to cope.
These barges — or, at hast, a large proportion of
them — are dismantled derelicts of our old condemned
merchant fleet, that have been bought in the marine
pawnshop and should long since have been consigned
to 'rottonrow. '
Those that have been built to order are no better
either in material or design. They are usually built of
Nova Scotia mahogany and stuck together with putty
and tenpenny nails.
The whole miserable fleet is overloaded with coal,
undermanned by the veriest hoboes and sent to sea
consigned to 'Davy Jones.' His locker is full of
them.
When once they clear the Capes they at once be-
come a menace to every thing else afloat that happens
across their track.
Unable to get out of their own way, they are still
more incapable of avoiding a passing vessel.
As from three to five barges are often carried in one
tow — and in Long Island Sound we have sometimes
noticed seven — and they are always separated from
each other and from the tug by 250 fathoms of hawser,
it will readily be seen that they often obstruct a mile
and more of latitude.
Depending entirely for locomotion on the panting
exertions of a lone tug or a heavily laden steam col-
lier, their progress is necessarily very slow, and in
thick weather or snow this lengthy marine caravan
can not he seen in time to be avoided.
So it happens thai cases of collision with these tows
are not infrequent and it all depends on luck whether
we strike one of the barges broadside on or breast the
hawser bel ween I wo of them.
In heavy weather when the tug is hard beset to care
for herself the captain is constrained — reluctantly
though, let us hope — to cut his low adrift in order to
save his ow n craft.
In such a case the fate of the barge is well nigh
sealed. for. not being built or rigged for successful
maneuvering, tiny CI ither wear nor lack lo gel off

If it is protested thai the use ..I' barges has cheap
cued the transportation of coal in the coastwise trade,
we retort that in no known instance has it cheapened

If it is urged thai we are jealous of barges, wi
pi] thai we are jealous of anything floating or sub

and ji opardizes life ami property.

tie- unusual loss of life in their floating Coffins to the

and operate well-found and Beaworthy ships, but who
can restore a human life?
What difference in kind is there between murder
for revenge and murder for aggrandizement t
There may be a difference in degree, certainly, but
that is largely against the heinous crime of the crim-
inal barge-owner who wantonly sacrifices human life
to increase his dividends.
Of course, we can not, by statutory law, punish the
barge-owner commensurate]; with his crime. But the
highest law — the innate sense of right and wrong-
recognizes no difference in kind between murder for
revenge and murder for aggrandizement.
In ease of disaster the crafty barge-owners may be
able to console themselves with their well secured in-
surance policies, but the dead men never return to
haggle over their paltry wages.
In death they trust!
The fight of the Seamen's Union against this great
aquatic juggernaut has thus far been conducted along
purely humanitarian and progressive lines. We have
petitioned the Congress to limit the number of barges
in any single tow and to submit them to the annual
Government inspection which all merchant vessels are
required to undergo to ascertain their seaworthiness.
The men who 'sail' in barges are not sailors, nor
are they members of t lie Seamen's Union, but they are
fellow-creatures and human beings, and as such they
are entitled to human sympathy in spite of their mis-
fortunes.
Here is a question in which all are concerned. Ship-
owners, sailors, travelers and others at the shore end
of the business who may be interested in over-sea ven-
tures, can well afford to join issue and show a united
front, .hist so long as this important question is ig-
nored by the commercial and traveling portions of the
public, just so long will these floating coffins menace
our seaboard and the bones of unfortunate victims
continue to strew the whitened sands of Jersey Beach
and the rocky shores of New England.
For, whatever the weather and whatever the risk, the
Bong of the 'coffin-ship' sailor is ever the same:

Meant to founder — we

Statistics of Ireland.
Some valuable and interesting figures are
given in the annual report of the Registrar-
General of Ireland, just issued, covering the
fiscal year 1904. According to this report the
estimated population of Ireland had fallen,
in the middle of the year 1905, to 4,402,192.
It appears that during 1904 the marriages
registered in Ireland numbered 22,961, the
births 103.811, and the deaths 79,513. The
marriage rate, which is 5.22 per 1000 of the
estimated population, shows an increase of
0.01 as compared with that for the year 1903,
and is 21 per cent, above the average rate for
the ten years from 1894 to 1903, and the
highest rate for any of these years. As to the
birth rate (23.5 per 1000), it shows an in-
crease of 0.5 as compared with that for the
preceding year, and is also 0.5 above the aver-
age rate for the ten years— 1894-1903. The
death rate (18.1 per 1000) is 0.6 above the
rate for the preceding year, and 0.1 above the
average rate for the ten years from 1894 to
1903. The natural incease of population re-
corded, or excess of births over deaths, was
24,298; the loss by emigration amounted to
36,902; a decrease of 12,604 in the population
would thus appear to have taken place during
the year; but againsl this decrease there is a
set-off in immigration, of which no official
record has been obtained.
Horseflesh consumption increases in Mu-
nich, reports Mr. Wright, owing to the Gov-
ernment restrictions upon beef imports. The
odd annual average number of horses slaugh-
tered for human food a decade ago increased,
in 1905, to 3000. Beef of the poorest quality
now costs 20 to 25 cents per pound, while
horseflesh is 7 and 8 cents.
The new census of the German Empire,
taken on November 30, shows that Berlin has
increased 8 per cent, in five years to 2,034,000
people, from statistics furnished by Consul -
General Wright, of Munich. The largest in-
crease took place in industrial centers, which
shows the activity of German industry.
Ocean Turbine Engines.
United States Consul Griffiths reports
progress in the turbine engines. He says
their success has been so satisfactorily
demonstrated that the Cunard line is going
to build boats with 60,000 to 70,000 horse-
power and a speed of 25 knots, thus rev-
olutionizing the world's transportation meth-
ods. He writes: Is it probable that the
turbine engine will become in the near future
the propelling power of our great ocean-
going steamers? Have the efficiency, prac-
ticability, and economy of turbine engines
been sufficiently demonstrated to justify the
belief that they are destined to displace in a
large measure reciprocating engines in ocean
transit? These questions are exciting the
widest interest at this port in consequence of
the recent sailing of the Carmania for Amer-
ica. The steam turbine is not, of course, a
thing of yesterday. It was invented many
years ago, but it is only quite recently that it
has been seriously considered in connection
with ocean traffic, and its use has been almost
exclusively confined to comparatively small
Is until the Cunard Steamship Company
decided to equip its latest steamer with tur-
bine engines.
The importance of this step will be appre-
cited when it is remembered that the Carma-
nia has a displacement of 30,000 tons and
23,000 indicated horsepower, and that her tur-
bines are four times as large as any hereto-
fore used on an ocean steamer. The first ves-
sel to be equipped with this new form of mo-
tive power was the Turbinia. This experi-
ment, which proved very satisfactoiy, was fol-
lowed by the building of two torpedo destroy-
ers, the Viper and Cobra. They attracted
much attention because of the extraordinary
speed they attained, but the loss of these ves-
sels soon after their official tests and while
they were still in commission brought the tur-
bine engine into temporary disfavor with ship-
builders and shipowners. It was not until
1901 that the first mercantile turbine was
launched. Since that time vessels so equipped
have been used in the cross-channel traffic
between England and France, between Liver-
pool and the Isle of Man, by the Allan Com-
pany in its Canadian sailings and by other
steamship companies. The use of the turbine
for ocean liners and war ships was strongly
advocated by one of the greatest marine engi-
neers of England as long ago as 1897.
The weight of the engines of the Carmania
is as great, perhaps slightly greater, than the
weighl of tin; quadruple-expansion piston en-
gines used on her companion ship the Caronia.
The boilers and auxiliaries are about equal in
weight A writer who is not wholly favorable
to the turbine, or who, at least, is inclined to
withhold judgment for the present on several
material points, contributes an article to The
Engineer of December 1, 1905, in which he
states, referring to the Carmania, that "a
great advantage is gained by the absence of
crank shafts, always very heavy and very
costly, easily broken, and replaced with diffi-
culty. The propellers again are less in diam
eter than they would have been, even if three
screw-crank engines had been used. The
stresses are practically quite uniform with the
turbine ; with piston engines they are not, and
the shafts must be strong enough to deal with
the maximum turning moment, or torque,
which is much in excess of such an average as
the turbine develops. The engines set up no
vibration; there is neither pounding nor
knocking. But the engines in a ship can not
be studied alone; they must be taken with the
propellers. The Carmania has three, and the
centra] propeller is the weak spot. That there
is vibration quite limited in its range, but
very considerable in amount, is certain; and
it appears to be due to the 'thrash' of the
blades past the sternpost and rudder.
' ' Whether it will be found possible to use
only two propeller shafts in other ships, or to
improve matters by moving the central pro-
peller further forward and away from the
sternpost, remains to be seen. As matters
stand, however, forward of a short distance
from the stern there is really no vibration
whatever."
Several distinct advantages are claimed for
turbine engines. These advantages, briefly
stated, are absence of vibration, economy of
fuel, and greater speed. The turbine boats
which ply between Dover and Calais are said
to have attained two knots greater speed with
25 per cent less coal per passenger than sim-
ilar boats equipped with reciprocating en-
gines. The officials of the Allan Company
claim to be entirely satisfied with the superior-
ity of their turbine steamers, which have been
in use since last summer, over steamers using
other motive power. The absence of vibration
is probably the principal advantage of the
turbine which has been thus far completely
established. "This means more," as a recent
writer has said, "than the mere comfort of
the passengers, because all vibration is detri-
mental to the hull and fittings of all kinds and
to the machinery great and small." It is only
after the Carmania has made a number of
trips under varying conditions that it can be
definitely stated whether or not in a vessel of
such huge dimensions the use of turbine en-
gines will appreciably lessen the cost of oper-
ation through economy in the use of fuel and
less wear and tear of machinery. The experi-
ments already made with the turbine would
seem to indicate that greater speed can be se-
cured at less cost than with reciprocating en-
gines.
The fear, however, is expressed by some that
there is one very serious drawback to the use
of the turbine engines which must be over-
come before they can be widely accepted, and
that is the disadvantage vessels so equipped
must experience in reversing. This disadvan-
tage arises from the fact that one-third of the
power of the engines is lost, as the center
screw remains stationary, while the remaining
two screws are reversing. There is a feeling,
nevertheless, among many engaged in the
shipping industry at Liverpool that this dis-
advantage will be removed, and the efficiency
of the turbine so thoroughly demonstrated
that it will be generally used in preference
to any other propelling power in ocean steam-
ers which are built from this time on. If this
should prove to be the fact, the Carmania
marks an epoch in shipbuilding the import-
ance of which can not be overestimated in
view of the increasing number of ocean trav-
elers from year to year, and the growing de-
mand for greater comfort and higher speed.
In this connection it is interesting to note that
the Cunard Company shows its entire faith in
the turbine by building two more turbine
steamers which are to be of 60,000 or 70,000
horsepower, and to have a speed of 25 knots.
By a decree issued by the Government of
Costa Rica on November 16, the Government's
pearl fisheries on the Pacific Coast are again
open for exploitation by divers, but the use of
machinery is strictly prohibited. These fisher-
ies have been closed for some time.

Trial of ^locum's Master.
The evidence brought out at the trial of
Captain Van Schaick, master of the ill-fated
steamer Slocum, is in the main a recapitula-
tion of the points brought out at the various
investigations made shortly after the disas-
ter. Whatever new evidence has been ad-
duced has been rather favorable than other-
wise to Captain Van Schaick. In a way,
also, he has benefited by the absence of many
important witnesses who were available im-
mediately after the disaster, but who now are
either dead or pursuing happiness in parts
unknown to the authorities. Public sympa-
thy is undoubtedly on his side, too; for it is
recognized that he is the victim of circum-
stances over which he had but an imperfect
control, in that they were mainly the crea-
tion of his employers and a corrupt system
of Steamboat Inspection. Captain Van Schaick
is only a poor man, depending upon his earn-
ings as a shipmaster for the support of him-
self and family. Hence he was virtually
forced to take certain chances well known to
shipmasters, who have to keep the income of
their employers up to a certain notch by keep-
ing the expenditures of the vessel down to
the irreducible minimum, or "get out." The
taking of these chances is, of course, morally
indefensible ; but it must be remembered that
such a course has in a large measure been
sanctioned by custom, and herein lies, per-
haps, the greatest insidiousness of the prac-
tice.
AYhen the responsibility for the Slocum dis-
aster is placed where it really belongs, how-
ever, it will be found that Captain Van
Schaick 's share of it could well be dispensed
with without materially reducing the sum
total. The knowledge of this has caused the
general public to sympathize with, rather than
condemn, the Slocum 's master, just as it did
with Inspector Lundberg. And it must be
confessed that the public is well justified in
regarding the trial of Captain Van Schaick
as merely going through the motions of the
law, seeing that the conditions which were
really responsible for the appalling loss of
life are still practically unchanged. Thereby
hangs a tale, which will probably be as ter-
ribly emphasized again some day as it was in
the case of the Slocum.
Union Items.
On January 17, State Senator Quinn, of
New York City, introduced a bill in the Legis-
lature, at Albany, providing that no city of
the first class, having a population of two mil-
lions or over, shall hereafter grant any fran-
chise, or enter into any contract, unless under
the express conditions that all labor performed
in connection therewith shall be paid for at a
rate equal to or exceeding the rate prescribed
by law as the minimum wage for such work.
In case of neglect to comply with the pro-
visions of the bill, it is provided that the con-
tract or franchise shall be forfeited. The bill
is the outcome of agitation by organized labor
in New York City, where in the next ten
years there will be an enormous amount of
municipal work done by private contractors.
President Roosevelt's anxious query: "Is
my popularity waning''' is almost as pathetic
as the eternal feminine query: "Is my hat
on straight?"
The New York branch of the Protestant
Episcopal Society for Seamen has purchased
a site on which will be erected a new head-
quarters. The Society declines, however, to
give the location of the site, as it is still nego-
tiating for more land.
The New York locals of the Bricklayers
and Masons' International Union which were
suspended in December for refusing to do
away with the fire-proofing clause in their
trade agreements with the Mason Builders'
Association, have been reinstated by the Na-
tional body.
The Atlantic Coast Marine Firemen have
no less than fifteen Shipwreck Benefits to pay
out as the result of recent disasters at sea.
The ocean-going tug Gypsum King, with six
of their members on board, ran on the Murr
Ledges, off the coast of Maine, on January
22, and became a total wreck. The steamer
Trojan, of the Boston and Philadelphia line,
with nine members of the Marine Firemen
aboard, was rammed while leaving her slip
in Boston by the steamer Nachoochee, of the
Savannah line, and sank in a few minutes.
Happily no lives were lost in either instance.
The Brooklyn Central Labor Union has
pledged itself to co-operate with the local
health bodies in raising a fund with which to
build a sanitarium for consumptives. A plot
of land for the purpose has already been
bought on Long Island, and the plan is to
make the institution self-supporting by charg-
ing each patient a fee of $4 or $5 per week.
This, it is calculated, will enable a great num-
ber of patients to patronize the sanitarium
who are ordinarily too poor to go to the more
expensive health resorts.
Assemblyman Hackett, of New York City,
has introduced a bill in the State Legislature
to abolish the "white wings," as the uniforms
of the New York street-sweepers are face-
tiously called, and to substitute a uniform of
drab or blue. The "white wings" were in-
stituted in 1895 by Colonel Waring, who be-
came famous as the only man who ever really
did clean the streets of New York. The street-
sweepers, however, have been kicking ever
since against the wearing of white uniforms,
as their laundering costs each man on an
average three dollars a month, which is more
than five per cent, of their pay for the same
period.
The funeral drivers of New York city have
organized a branch of the Greater New York
Council of the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, and their organization will lie
known as the "Greater New York Funeral
Drivers' Union." There are about 1,500 of
these drivers in the city, of which number
1,200 have already enrolled themselves in the
new union. Recognition of the union, the
"Closed Shop," and higher wages, are their
chief demands, and no trouble is expected in
securing these, as the undertakers are unor-
ganized, while their business has received
quite a boom from the present unseasonably
mild winter.

Curacao.
Anxiety for the British ship Drumcraig is becom-
ing more acute, and there is a growing fear that she
met with disaster in the terrific South Sea hurricane
that raged in the vicinity of the Marshall and Caroline
Islands a few weeks ago, while bound from Astoria,

is usually made by the steamer Enterprise of the same
line. The best time ever made between the Golden
Gate and Hilo was a few hours over eight days, when
Captain Matson, now at the head of the Matson Navi-
gation Company, was master of the vessel.
Captain William Matson, owner of the steamer En-
terprise, running between San Francisco, Hilo and

New York for a cargo of general merchandise, and
Teach the Coast in fifty or sixty days after sailing.
The new vessel will be put on the same run as the En-
terprise. She has a tonnage of 4000. Captain Matson
intends building a new steamer for the Honolulu run.

Chinese in New YorK.
Taylor's Nautical School is now located on the fifth
floor in the new liiiilding on the corner of Sec, mi and
Natoma streets, 158-160 Second street,, San Francisco.
Recent agitation on the part of some of
our fellow-citizens in the Eastern States for
the modification or total repeal of the Chi-
nese Exclusion Act brings to mind the fad
that the dangers inherent in the presence of
vast numbers of Chinese in our midst is not
confined to California alone. While the num-
ber of Chinese in California is gradually
diminishing, we find that such is not Hie case
in the East. New York, for instance, in 1880
had only 908; in 1890 they had increased to
293;"); and in 1900 to 7170. Of this latter
number only 142 were females. At the pres-
ent time the estimated number of Chinese in
the state of New York exceeds 12,000.
The Japanese population is also on the in-
crease. In 1880 there were 17 ; in 1890 there
were 148; in 1900, 354. Since then the
Japanese have made their appearance in
nlearly every town of prominence in the
State. So far they are remarkable for their
unobtrusiveness and their apparent fidelity
to the work engaged in. How long they will
be content to remain so is best answered by
the experience of the people of California.
It, appears from items which appear in the
press from time to time that, the Chinese
question of New York is fast becoming a sec-
ond edition of that in San Francisco. High-
binders and Tong wars make it dangerous for
the casual pedestrian on Pell and Molt
streets. Shootings and hatchet fights are of
frequent occurrence, and the debasing effect
of the seductive pipe upon the habitues of
Chinatown is apparent to all observers.
Occasionally we read of the arrest of Chi-
nese Sunday-school students for assaults
upon young white girls, which lias been
strongly commented upon by the New York
American, and brought forth the following
burning words from Magistrate Furlong:
"The public could drive away these laun-
drymen by taking away their trade. Then
(here would be no more of this infamous
business."
Dr. II. H. Kane, writing of the evils of
opium smoking and its rapid increase in New-
York, says that Mott and Pell streets are
filthy and swarm with Chinamen, Malays and
half-breeds; that young girls are induced to
smoke opium that they may become easy
prey to the ghouls who infest Chinatown and
many innocent and over-curious girls have
been thus ruined body and soul.
We recollect some years ago that, here in
San Francisco, when a young girl was missing
from her home, the police first made a thor-
ough search of Chinatown before following
any other clew, and the number of girls thus
found and rescued from a, life of infamous
slavery will never be known.
Ex-Chief of Police Crowley, of San Fran-
cisco, one of the most energetic of officers,
published over his own signature a statement
"that the influence of the Chinese over young
people is great, and particularly so in the di-
rection of immorality, gambling and opium;
(hat I hey have no respect for law and are in
fact the most, persistenl law breakers known
to the police."
Recent developments in the Empire City
lend |o show thai I he Chinese in that Lo-
cality are becoming a menace to the public
morals, and unless the evil is quickly checked
the Chinatown of New York will become a
worse plague-spot than thai of San Fran-
cisco.

FOR MORE EFFICIENT CREWS.
The Journal has already noted the opposi-
tion of the organized seamen 1o Senate Bill
27, which purports to improve the system of
manning passenger steamers, but which, be-
cause of the looseness of its terms, would ac-
tually make matters worse. At the same time
we have noted the substitute proposed by the
International Seamen's Union of America,
through its legislative representative, Mr. An-
drew Furuseth. The latter measure, drafted
mainly with a view to the conditions prevail-
ing in the excursion and general passenger
service in Atlantic waters, proposes that sev-
enty-five per cent of the deck crews (exclu-
sive of officers) of passenger steamers shall
be composed of able-seamen, each of whom
shall be nineteen years of age or over and
shall have had at least two years' experience
on deck at sea or on the Great Lakes. This,
to be sure, is a modest proposal, but immeas-
urably more practical than that contained in
Senate Bill 27. The Seamen's bill has been
introduced in the House of Representatives
by Representative Goulden, of New York, and
is known as House Hill 12472. By way of
furthering the passage of the Goulden bill the
organized seamen in the various maritime sec-
tions of the country have forwarded to Con-
gress numerous resolutions urging favorable
action on the bill. Sentiment in favor of the
Goulden bill is not confined to the seamen —
that is, to the men of the deck crews. On the
contrary, all classes of labor on board ship —
officers as well as men — have indorsed the bill
and are now pressing for its enactment into
law. The Grand Harbor of Masters, Mates
and Pilots, in convention at Washington, D.
C, recently, adopted the following resolution
on the subject:
Whereas, There is not at present known to law any
regulation either as to skill or experience nor as to
number of men to be employed as a deck crew on
board steamers carrying passengers; and
Whereas, This condition has led to audi grave abuses
as to be a positive and constant danger to life and
property, a danger which we are unable to remedy ; and
Whereas, Representative Goulden, of New York, who
was a member of a Coroner's Jury to investigate the
Slocum disaster, has indroduced a bill, H. R. 12472,
to amend Section 4463, R. S., so as to provide a
standard of efficiency and to give Local Inspectors the
power to determine the number of men to be carried;
therefore be it
Resolved, By the Grand Harbor of Masters, Mates
and Pilots, that this bill is timely, necessary and hu-
mane, and that we urge upon Congress to give to this
bill such consideration as the en re of human life and
property has proven to be necessary ; and further
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be submit-
ted to the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisher-
ies, with our respectful request that it be favorably re-
ported.
The Marine Engii is' Benevolent Associa-
tion, also in session at Washington, D. C,
adopted a resolution on the same subject, as
follows :
Whereas, It has been our unfortunate experience to
find passenger vessels undermanned, not only .is to
skill, but as to numbers and knowledge of the Eng-
lish language; and
Whereas, Repeated disasters have brought this dan-
gerous condition to the attention of the public through
these disasters and the reports thereon by commissions
appointed for the purpose of investigating; and
Whereas, We see no possible remedy except in legis-
lation by Congress, under which all vessels carry pas-
sengers ; therefore
Resolved, By the Marine Engineers' Benevolent As-
sociation, that we indorse H. R. 12472, a bill to amend
Section 4463, R. S., relating to the complement of
crews of vessels, and for the better protection of life,
introduced by Representative Goulden, of New York;
and
Resolved, That these resolutions be submitted to the
Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries of the
House, with the request that the Committee gi\< such
consideration and action to this bill as for the safety
of human life it shall think it entitled.
The Central Federated Union, of New York
City, has also indorsed the Goulden bill and
delegated Mr. Herman Robinson to appear
before the committee on behalf of that meas-
ure. So far as the Seamen and their immedi-
ate associates, ashore and afloat, an acerned,
everything possible is being done to secure the
enactment of a law that will accomplish ma-
terial results in the way of safeguarding life
and property at sea. There is here a great op-
portunity for the press to do something prac-
tical toward remedying the conditions which
it deplores so vociferously immediately after
every great maritime disaster. Let the pr.ess
urge the passage of the Goulden bill and by
so doing prove that its solicitude for the safety
of the women and children at sea is not a
mere matter of sensationalism.
SLOCUM'S MASTER A SCAPEGOAT.
Captain Van Schaick, of the excursion steamer
Slocum, burned near Long Island Sound, resulting in
a terrible loss of life, has been sentenced to ten years '
imprisonment. That may be all right; but how about
the United States Inspectors who didn't inspect?
They reported the fire and life-saving apparatus in
perfect condition, when the most cursory investigation
would have shown them that everything was wrong,
particularly the fire hose, which was rotten, and the
so-called life-preservers, which were loaded with iron
and sank the moment they touched water. And how
about the owners of the vessel, and the manufacturers
of the life-preservers, which were evidently intended
for show, not for use? Were they and the Inspectors
in collusion? Shall they, too, go unpunished?
The evidence did not show any criminality on the
part of Captain Van Schaick. It showed that he had
been in command of the vessel but six weeks, during
the busiest season of the year, and that he and his
crew were on duty nineteen hours every day. How
much time was left them for rest, recreation and drill?
Captain Van Schaick may deserve imprisonment, but
not half so much as do the owners and Government
tors of the vessel. — San Francisco Star.
As usual, the Star hits the nail right on the
head and clinches it right on the point. Cap-
tain Van Schaick has been made a scapegoat
for the sins of the "man higher up." The
single redeeming feature of the various trials
(?) that have followed the Slocum disaster
consists in the fact that the pretense of the
whole business is apparent to every one. The
punishment visited upon the agents has but
demonstrated the culpability of the principals.
Seamen and others who use oilskins should
demand the label of the United Garment
Workers of America when making purchases
in that line.
The attention of Pacific Coast Fishermen
is directed to the "Fishermen's Call for
Unity," published on page 10 of this issue.
SEATTLE TIMES AND THE SEAMEN.
Worse, and more of it ! Last week the crew
of the wrecked steamer Valencia were called
"cowards." This week the same men are
called "longshoremen"! More than that, the
entire seafaring craft on the Pacific Const has
been brought under the stigma of the latter
term. We all are "longshoremen"! To what
depths of contempt and obloquy have we
sunk! There is but one consolation remaining
to us. The worst has come to the worst.
Last week the seamen were condemned by a
San Francisco newspaper, the Evening Post;
this week Daniel comes to judgment through
the same medium, but under a different name,
to wit, the Seattle Daily Times. In order thai
the seamen — ahem, "longshoremen" — on the
Pacific Coast may see themselves as the Times
sees them, we reprint the views of that paper,
published in its issue of January 2'.\ as fol-
lows:
Longshoremen without a day's experience in hand-
ling a lifeboat in rough weather compose probably
nine tenths of tin- crews of the alleged sailors ship-
ping on passenger steamships on the Pacific Coast.
It is a well-known fact that crews carried are
freight hustlers and men who load and discharge ships.
On land they are known as longshoremen and at BSB
are called sailors by courtesy.
Any captain coming into this port will declare that
the average sailor on his ship is a man unfit to sen. I
out in a lifeboat when it requires experience and skill
to handle the small craft. The crews are continually
shifting and it is seldom that a sailor makes more
than one or two voyages on the same vessel.
This fact was demonstrated when Second Officer
Bourke, of the steamer City of Topeka, took charge
of the lifeboat sent to the rescue of the Valencia 'a
survivors picked up on the raft last Wednesday after-
noon.
As the boat pulled away from the Topeka Bourke
began to shout his orders, none of which were appar-
ently obeyed by the men. They dropped their oars
overboard and for several minutes it looked as if the
boat would be swamped.
Bourke stood up in the bow of the boat calling to
his men, but they did not appear to understand his
orders.
"They won't do what I tell them," he shouted time
and time again, and almost cried when he saw what a
poor effort the sailors were making to reach the raft.
Bourke is a man of experience and knows how the boat
Should be handled in the storm. The sailors had prob-
ably never been on the sea in a lifeboat before and
were frightened at the thought that they might be
drowned at any minute.
The sailors carried on steamers on the Pacific ('oast,
as a general rule, have never had any experience at
sea further than handling cargo. It is an easy life
and between ports the time is usually spent in spinning
yarns in the forecastle or washing down decks.
A number of captains sailing on Sound and deep-
water ships were questioned this morning regarding
the nature of the crews carried on the ships. Every
master said that the average man representing himself
to be a sailor had little experience in handling a boat.
Once in a while will be found a sailor who has been
before the mast and is not afraid to take to sea in an
open boat.
Steamship men say that it is hard to get an old
sailor to ship on a passenger steamer because he is
compelled to clean ship as well as handle cargo. On
sailing ships they have only to look after the naviga-
tion of the vessel.
In the wreck of the Valencia the waiters were about
the only men who obeyed the rides in case of disaster.
Survivors of the wreck say, however, that tie- waiters
were on hand within a very few minutes after the ves-
sel struck, supplying the passengers with life-preserv-
ers and procuring food and drink for the women.
The steamship companies have been criticised for
not making an effort to procure sailors of experience
and pay them wages which will warrant their remain-
ing on a vessel until they at least witness one fire and
boat drill. It is claimed that there are few
mi the Pacific Coast and that all the captains are
handicapped by having an inexperienced crew to
handle on every voyage.
A careful perusal of the Times views raises
the suspicion that the writer of them has been
"mixing" with somebody who "sticks well to
his desk and never goes to sea," with the
usual result, namely, a yarn that would strain
the proverbial credulity of the marine. To
be charitable it may be assumed that the
Times writer had in mind the fact that the
seamen on the Pacific Coast are accustomed
to handling cargo on board ship, work which
in other localities is sometimes performed
by longshoremen. The basis of the screed in
question, so far as it has any basis at all. con-
sists in the single peculiarity here referred to.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOUENAL.
Because the seaman, in the course of his voca-
tion, performs certain work which, in other in-
stances, is performed by men of another call-
ing, he (the seaman) is called a "longshore-
man," and that without any apology to the
men who claim that designation as their own !
The seaman and the longshoreman are separ-
ate and distinct craftsmen, the former being
employed on the sea, the latter on the shore.
The work of handling cargo on board ship in
port is the seaman's work, precisely as is the
more common — that is, more commonly ob-
served— work of hauling ropes, making sail
and steering. The fact that some seamen com-
monly work cargo, while others do not, does
not constitute the former longshoremen, but,
on the contrary, proves them the better sea-
men. The Times writer sees a seaman and a
longshoreman engaged in the same general
class of labor, and he dubs both "longshore-
men." The Times writer sees well enough,
but he doesn't look far enough. In a word,
the Times writer doesn't know enough about
maritime affairs to distinguish between the
thorough, all-round seaman and the other
kind. Thus it comes about that the Times de-
duces the conclusion of incompetency from a
fact which in itself proves the very contrary!
The fact that certain newspapers have, for
reasons of their own, undertaken to place
upon the crew of the Valencia a large part of
the responsibility for the loss of life attend-
ant upon the wreck of that vessel, and have
questioned the character of the seamen gener-
ally on the Pacific Coast, justifies a word or
two of information on the subject. It is freely
conceded among practical men in the mari-
time world that the seamen on the Pacific
Coast are the peers of their fellows in any
part of the world. If the conditions of sea-
faring in these waters be considered, it may
reasonably be said that these men are the best
of their kind, without exception. The condi-
tions in question consist primarily in organi-
zation among the seamen, and, secondarily, in
the character of the work required of the lat-
ter. By organization the seamen are enabled
to secure comparatively fair terms of employ-
ment, which in turn make for continuity of
service in the trade and thus for higher effi-
ciency. The character of the work on coast-
wise craft, not the least important element of
which is that of handling cargo, makes for,
and indeed compels, the utmost development
of mental and physical manhood. The infer-
ence is clear and the fact is proved that the
Pacific Coast is no place for the weakling or
mere "rope-hauler." The mar who would
make good on a coastwise craft, be she steam-
er, schooner or square-rigger, must prove him-
self a seaman in every sense of that word.
Of course, it is impossible, even were it nec-
essary, to specify every instance of error in
the charges made against the seamen by cer-
tain newspapers. Some of these charges are
so wide of the truth, so inconsistent with the
obvious facts, that simple reference to them
refutes them. For instance, the charge that
the seamen on the Pacific Coast are unfamiliar
with the handling of lifeboats is contradicted
by everyday custom. Owing to the nature of
many harbors on the Coast boat work is a very
frequent necessity to the loading and dis-
charging of cargo. Again, a large number of
seamen on the Coast are practical seagoing
fishermen, who periodically spend much of
their time in boats, under the most dangerous
circumstances and who are recognized as
among the best boatmen in the world. The
charge that seamen do not stay long enough
in a given vessel to become familiar with her
gear is equally at variance with the facts.
Organization among the seamen, as before re-
ferred to, enables them to continue indefinitely
in the service of a certain vessel, which, as a
matter of fact, many of them do. A canvass
of the crews in the vessels of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company would probably show
that the seamen concerned have occupied their
present berths for periods ranging from one
year to twenty years.
The critique of the Seattle Daily Times, so
far as it is not obviously a work of pure imag-
ination, bears strong evidence of inspiration
by the seamen's enemies. Some one in the
northern seaport has it in for the seamen, and
has taken advantage of the Valencia wreck,
with the object of getting even. The Times,
owing to its strong appetite for "news" and
its weak powers of discrimination between
fact and fiction, has fallen an easy victim.
That's all. The Times, and the Coast press
generally, should be warned that it is neither
just nor safe to pick on the seamen as the
scapegoats in case of shipwreck. The seamen
of the Pacific Coast have learned to defend
themselves against their enemies, both ashore
and afloat, and are just as ready to tackle a
newspaper as anything else. Newspapers that
are looking for fight had better go for some-
body or something their own size.
Law of Naturalization.
Mr. Alfred Fuhrman, of San Francisco, at-
torney for Paul Scharrenberg in the recent
case involving the latter 's status as a citizen,
has favored the Journal with a brief state-
ment of the law in such cases. Mr. Fuhrman
says:
Editor Coast Seamen's Journal: — In view of the
importance of the subject and the entirely groundless
apprehension which the acts of Secret Service Agent
Taylor seem to have caused among seafaring men-
resulting, even, as public rumor has it, in the suicide
of Captain Tremaine Smith — I deem it my duty to
state briefly the law on the effect of naturalization.
I am especially prompted to this course because the
speedy and prompt action of the State Supreme Court
in the Scharrenberg case (at San Francisco on Febru-
ary 5) prevented me from touching upon the most
vital part of the entire controversy of naturalization,
nor was this point brought out and explained to the
Court in the Tinn case, the arguments in which pre-
ceded the hearing of the case of my client.
There are abundant authorities for the contention
that after the oath of allegiance has been taken, the
act is, and has become irrevocable as far as the Gov-
ernment is concerned. Upon taking the oath of al-
legiance by the applicant, and the issuance to him of
a certified copy of the judgment of naturalization, the
rights and privileges of citizenship are immediately
vested, and are thereby conferred upon him irrevoc-
ably, which no court has the power to curtail, abridge
or revoke, as the court 's functions are entirely exhaust-
ed as soon as the power of naturalization has been ex-
ercised.
There are direct decisions sustaining this conten-
tion, rendered both in our State Supreme Court, and in
the United States Supreme Court, but neither of these
were touched upon or brought out before the Supreme
Court of California in the Scharrenberg case.
It necessarily follows, that not even the naturalized
citizen can divest himself of his rights and privileges
of citizenship by any act of his own, except when he
himself, voluntarily, either in a foreign country, or
perhaps before the consul or representative of a for-
eign power in this country, does both of the following
acts, to wit:
1. Renounce and abjure all allegiance to the Unit-
ed States of America.
2. Take an oath of fealty to the foreign Power or
State of which he desires to become a member.
Expatriation and de-nationalization depend there-
fore upon the will of the applicant himself, and not
upon the caprice or desire of any Government official.

Charters for the Spring'.
Shippers at ports at the head of Lake
Superior arc in the market, for vessels to load
grain on the tirst trip next, spring. The
.illler Lewis Woodruff of tile (iilelll'ist tleet
was chartered recently for the tirst trip al
two cents on barley from Dulutli to Buffalo.
Local owners were asked for tonnage to take
wheat at 2 1-4 cents at the opening, bul no
charters were reported at that figure. The
rate offered on wheat is equal to eighty-four
cents on ore ami the vesselmen figure thai two
cents on barley is better than ninety-cent ore.
According to reports received from the up-
per Lake ports stocks of grain will be heavy
by the opening of navigation next spring ami
many of the owners are figuring on making a
trip in that trade at the start. The Chicago
shippers have not chartered any vessels for
the tirst trip, but the brokers a1 that port pre-
dict that there will be a good movement of
grain during the early part of the season.
Chartering for winter storage has been light
and no boats have been placed for several
weeks. The steamers W. C. Richardson and
D. M. Whitney arc the only big carries that
are holding grain at Chicago. Tiny are load-
ed with wheat and will get three cents for win-
ter storage and Bpring delivery at Buffalo.
The steamers Sonora, Eeffelfinger, Grammer,
Aurania. Anna C. Minch and Francis Wid-
lar are under charter to hold grain at the head
of the Lakes. All the boats have not been load-
ed.
Coal shippers are still in the market for ves-
- lo hold cargoes and a number of l>i lt car-
riers will load at Cleveland in the near future.
The steel steamer E. X. Saunders is loading
at the Semca St. dock and other boats will
be sent to the dorks to take on cargoes as soon
as they complete repairs. S e figuring is
being done to load vessels at Brie and Ashta-
bula. At. Buffalo there is about 100,000 tons
of coal afloat and mure hard coal will be placed
aboard boats during the winter.
The ore freight market is very quiet and
no business has been done since the Steel Cor-
poration made arrangements for season ton-
nage.
Dangers of Oil Fuel.
In submitting his annual report as Super-
vising Inspector-General of the Steamboat
Inspection Service, George Uhler expresses
considerable anxiety regarding the present
practii f carrying crude petroleum in pas-
senger steamers in quantities which jeopard-
ize the safety of the ship and passengers.
Much of tins oil, he says, is so highly inflam-
mable that it will flash at, the ordinary sum-
mer temperature of the atmosphere. Mr.
(Jhler suggests that prohibition be placed on
the use of oil winch will flash at less than 140
degrees.
Attention is called to the lack of provision
in the law for punishing persons interfering
with the inspectors in the discharge of their
duty. Reference is made to the interference
last summer with Inspector John A. Cotter,
at New Orleans, in lus attempt to restrict to
the legal number the persons who should go
aboard a river boat on which President
Roosevelt was being entertained by the city.
To Inspect Sailing Vessels.
A bill has been introduced in the House of
Representatives in Washington that all ves-
sels, other than steam vessels sailing in the
American coastwise service shall be placed un-
der Government inspection similar to the
Steamboat. Inspection Service. It is repn
eil that there is a tendency to underman and
overload Bailing vessels and barges, especially
in the winter time, and the hill proposes to
provide for the safety of coasting vessels and
barges and their crews, by establishing a. load
line, increasing the number of men COUStitut
ing the crew and requiring gasoline or steam
engines to be installed for such purposes as
hoisting sails, etc. The bill also states that
the Government Inspection Service for schoon-
ers ainl barges shall have power to desig-
nate a load water mark for vessels when first
built, and for those now or hereafter under
the American tlag. The lowering of this load
mark shall be three inches every third year.
beginning from the time such vessel is seven
years old and continuing until it is twenty-
two years old. when the service shall have
power to determine the requirements which
will justify her further seaworthiness. — Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
Watch the fate of this bill! Its early death
may be safely predicted. Why. if that, bill
passed some of the vesselowners would, have
to provide life-preservers, lifeboats, etc.. Eor
the crews of their vessels, and a sailor's life
would be placed on a level with that of a pas
senger, so far as providing for his safety is
concerned, and the owners could no longei
overload their vessels iii a mad effort lo wring
"one more bag of the golden treasure" out of
them before they sink with all hands. Re
quiescat in Pace!
A Scheme that Failed.
David Post, wlie was elected a delegate to the De-
troit convention of the Licensed Pilots' Protective As
BociatioD at a meeting of the local lodge Thursday
night, yesterday said that lie was ant a member of the
organization and that lie would not go to the Detroit
inciting.
The report of the election of officers that was pub-
lished Thursday was given out by Captain Charles A.
Bush, who is Grand President of the Association. Sec-
retary A. A. Btannard of the local lodge yesterday
said that Post «;is not. elected as a delegate and that
the report given out by Captain Bush was not correct.
The foregoing appears in the marine column
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, of January 6,
and is really an expose of the methods used by
Bush and Stannard to get men into their fake
organization of licensed pilots. The only real
Union of licensed pilots is that affiliated with
the International Seamen's Union. The
Longshoremen's branch has other names he-
sides that of Mr. Post on its list of member-
ship, the owners of which names do not he-
long to the fake organization and do not know
their names are being used. The scheme is
that, wherever an influential man like David
Post refuses to have anything to do with the
fakers, they attempt to buy him by electing
him to office. This time it failed, so the laugh
is on Charley and Art.

LaKe ShipwrecK Benefits.
The total amount for Shipwreck Benefits
paid to members by the Lake Seamen's Un-
ion during the year 1905 was $4,291.60. The
amount of Death Benefits paid was +LM7S.00,
making a total of $6,769.60.
It must be borne in mind that there are some
Death Bneefits for 1905 yet to be paid. The
question of whether the seamen shall build
a home for their aged, crippled or disabled
comrades will come before the Pake Seamen's
Union for referendum vote during the month
of July. 1906. The voting will continue dur-
ing one week. There is a resolution now be-
fore the Union asking if the members are will-
ing to increase their dues to seventy-live cents
per month. If the resolution be adopted the
tax for the maintenance of the Seamen's
Home will be paid out of the general treasury,
and the members will not be taxed the ad-
ditional ten cents per month. If the resolu-
tion be defeated, and the vote to build the
•llome" be carried, the members will be
taxed ten cents per month over and above
their regular monthly dues. The dues paid
by the Marine Cooks of the Great Lakes tire
seventy-five cents per month: by the Seamen's
Union of the Atlantic Coast, sever, ,y cents.
It remains for the seamen of the Lakes to de-
cide what is to be done in this matter.

Big Fleet at Duluth.
Fifty steamers and thirteen barges will pass
the winter at Duluth-Superior harbor. This
is the largest fleet which has ever wintered at
the head of the Lakes, and included in the list
of sixty-three vessels are the steamers Eden-
born, Mataafa and Crescent city, and barge
Manila, ashore since the last big gale.
Thirty-eight of the total number are owned
by the Pittsburg Steamship Company, ih
sel division of the Steel Trust.
Following is a list of the boats which will
winter at Duluth :

Frank Coons, of Milwaukee. Wis., shipkeep-
er of the steamer John Lambert, was recently
found dead on board that vessel at the dock
of the Illinois Steel Company at Jones Island.
His body was burned and a broken lamp lying
at the side of the bed is supposed to have been
overturned while die was sleeping and suffoca-
tion followed. His body was charred by the
flames and the bedding was badly burned.
Coons was sixty-five years of age and unmar-
ried.

Marine Notes.
The 10,000-ton steamer building- at the Su-
perior yard of the American Shipbuilding
Company for H. H. Oakes of Detroit will be
named E. J. Earling.
Representative Jenkins has introduced a bill
in Congress, providing for an appropriation
of $20,000 for the establishment of a signal
station on Devils Island, Lake Superior.
The Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company
of Chicago has purchased the property of the
Lake Superior Contracting & Dredging Com-
pany of Duluth, in which Cleveland parties
were interested. The price was not given out.
Civil Engineers are at work at Ashtabula,
0., on preliminary steps for the construction
of a new dock and slip for the car-feriy which
is to ply between that port and Canada. The
actual construction, it is said, will be begun
soon.
Following is the winter fleet at Toledo:
Steamers — Penobscot, W. II. Grativick, Ren-
olds, Warner, D. Rust, Spokane, Oglebay,
Cherokee, Arabia. Barges and Schooners — ■
Maringo, J. Schuelte, Houghton, Judd, City
of Toledo, E. Mason, Oneonta and Chippewa.
The steamer F. B. Squire, owned by the
.Mack Steamship Company, of Cleveland, has
been ordered to Cleveland from Buffalo, to
load coal; she will make the trip under her
own steam, and the estimated cost of bringing
her from Buffalo to Cleveland is about $2000.
With nearly all Lake Erie winter fleet load-
ing coal, and Lake Superior fleet loading
grain the ore trade will apparently not be
heavy in the early Spring.
A large amount of lumber has been sold at
Duluth, Minn., during the last week or two.
It is reported that the Edward Hines Lumber
Company sold 35,000,000 feet and a Duluth
broker has sold 10,000,000 feet to go to Sagi-
naw. The latter bill is to be cut at the. Mul-
lery mill, West Duluth. A large quantity of
product has been sold ahead of the saws for
1906 delivery. The lumber industry in the
Duluth district is being conducted at the top
notch of activity and will continue for this
year at least, or until the demand lessens and
prices decline.
The Great Lakes tugs Fabian and Alva B.
recently towed the big freighter John Stan-
ton from Buffalo to Cleveland, to load coal.
She arrived in Cleveland on January 22, ami
reported a regular summer trip. It is stated
that another large carrier will be brought to
Cleveland from Buffalo to load eon!. There
are eleven Trust vessels in winter quarters at
Conneaut, and all are loading coal for the first
trip up. The same is being done in all the
ports along Lake Erie, and reports from Lake
Superior intimate that most of the vessels
there will bring grain down in the spring. It
would appear from this that the ore move-
ment in the early spring will be light.

Fishermen's Call for Unity.
The Fisher n's Protective Union of the
Pacific Coast and Alaska, desirous of organ-
izing and uniting all fishermen of the Pacific
Coast and Alaska, hereby issues a call for a
meeting of delegates selected by the respective
fishermen's unions of the Pacific Coast, said
meeting to convene at Astoria, Or., on March
12, 1906.
The purpose of this meeting is to draft a
constitution for a general fishermen's union
pf the Pacific Coast and Alaska, which, while
giving full home rule to the respective
branches of our calling and to the respective
localities, will at the same time so unite all
fishermen as to be able to effectively cany on
Legislative work, and more thoroughly organ-
ize the fishermen, many places on this ('nasi
being yel without organization, or only poorly
organized.
Only a general union, with a constitution
as outlined above, can. we believe, unite all
fishermen.
Unity must be accomplished in order to se-
cure laws which will be of lasting benefil to
us. Unless in the very near future laws are
passed to protect the fish and the fishermen
from the greed of unscrupulous corporations,
in a few years there will be but few tisli lefl
Eor the fishermen to catch. The fish-traps, un-
less the law steps in, will not only drive the
purse-seiners and gill-netters from the com-
mon fishing-grounds, hut keep on destroying
all kinds of fish, as they have done in the past
United in a great body of fishermen, such
as we can establish if we are true to ourselves
and our calling, aided by sister-unions, we can
and will secure good laws for the fishing in-
dustry, from Congress and the various State
Legislatures.
We believe the meeting in Astoria will ac-
complish its purpose in two or three days, am!
from one I,, three delegates from each union
or locality will be the cheapest and best, meth-
od to arrive at a mutual understanding. The
constitution agreed upon will then be sub-
mitted to the various unions for ratification.
Only unions ratifying the constitution will
become members of the general union.
The sending of delegates will not commit
any union to become members. That action
will simply express a desire to aid in drafting
a constitution which, it is hoped, will lie sat-
isfactory to all unions sending delegates.
Fraternally yours,
Fishermen's Protective Union of the
Pacific Coast and Alaska.

According to a statement of the Revue
Scientific, of Paris, the Emperor of China has
instructed his minister at Paris, Sueng-Pau-
Ki, before his return to Peking, which will
shortly take place, to study the state of the
electrical industry in France and to make a
report. The minister has commenced inspect-
ing the most important electric establish-
ments in Paris and other places. From this
it would appear that China will follow the
example of Japan and pay more attention to
the industrial sciences.
Emigration from St. Pierre.
Three years of poor fisheries at St. Pierre,
N. F., have not only interfered with business,
but is believed to be responsible for loss of
population. The last census showed a perma-
nent population of about 7000 for these isl-
ands. The poor fisheries have driven many
small owners out of business, the number of
vessels engaged in the bank fisheries having
decreased, as also the people employed. This
lack of employment has started many to seek
for a livelihood elsewhere. M. Menier, owner
of the island of Anticosti in the mouth of the
St. Lawrence River, has taken advantage of
the lack of employment at St. Pierre, intro-
duced agents and secured about 500 emigrants
to settle at Anticosti. It is estimated that
fifty fishermen, with their families, have gone
to (doucester and other fishing ports in the
United States, twenty-five to other parts of
the United States, and ".mi to Canada, princi-
pally Cape Breton. The decrease in popula-
tion for the last three years must be nearly
1000, or one-seventh of the entire population
of the colony. Owners of vessels are com-
plaining of their inability to secure the neces-
sary crews, and the men to be employed are
looking for higher wages. At least one-half
of St. Pierre vessels are manned by men en-
gaged in France. The migration will force
owners to look to that country for the neces
sary fishermen to man their vessels. This
movement of the population will he a loss, as
the resident fishermen are considered more
capable than those of France. Nothing is
being done to induce the people to remain,
and unless some movement is made St. Pierre
will seriously suffer.
The trade guild of Nagahama in Shiga pre-
fecture, Japan, owing to the depressed mar-
kets for silk crepe, has decided to suspend
weaving entirely until trade improves. The
10 per cent, war tax on silk goods practically
ruined the market, according to an Osaka
journal.
Cuban Labor Question.'
A problem of the greatest importance,
which has not escaped the Cuban planter's
attention, and which so far has not been sat-
isfactorily solved, at least to the satisfaction
of the planters and manufacturers, is the
nmeh-talked-of labor question. For the last
two years the scarcity of able field hands has
been a serious drawback to the planter, and
resulted in financial losses, either through the
loss ()r a portion of the crop or through the
long drawn out "winding up" of the season.
Immigrants who have arrived within the last
six months at the different ports of the island
will to a certain extent relieve the general
demand for efficient hands, but. as most of
these laborers are inexperienced in field work-
peculiar to sugar cane or other agricultural
pursuits of the island, the shortage will neces-
sarily continue this season. These new hands
will," however, all find employment at moder-
ate wages in places on the estates where skilled
labor is no1 essential. The general outlook
for the coming season is fair, as compared
with other years, so far as sugar is concerned,
and if the cane keeps in its present good con-
dition and the hopes of the planter as to
prices are realized, there will be no ground
for complaint.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
World's WorKers.
The total membership of unions r<
tered under the Weal Australian Arbitra-
tion Act at the end of 1904 was 16,184,
including 218 female workers and 441
members of employers ' onions.
When sentencing a prisoner recently in
Brisbane, Australia, Judge Real sensibly
remarked: "I can only attribute this
prevalence of crime among our young
men to the want of work."
The report of the Queensland (Austra
lia) Registrar of Trade-Unions says the
year 1904 "was apparently a little bet-
ter than the previous year, which was the
worst on record among trade-unions in
this Slate."
In Perth, West Australia, there are
thirty-four Asiatic- laundries, employing
ninety-six hands, and eight furniture-
making firms of the same breed, em-
ploying 109 hands. The " white" lam:
dries employ seventy hands, and 286
hands are employed by the European
furniture-making firms.
In the Queensland (Australia) A
bly recently Labor Member Pudge pre
ed a petition from the Mackay dis-
trict, signed by 278 persons, praying tor
legislation immediately to cope with the
ever-increasing unemployed evil, and
pointing out that Crown lands on which
to settle them were available.
By a majority vote the Xcw South
Wales (Australia) Arbitration Court has
refused the Sydney Coal Lumpers' Union
the increased pay from the present rates
of Is. 6d. per hour, day or night, to Is.
9d. per hour day work ami L's. (id. per
hour night work. Employes' representa-
tive Riley dissented.
In order to provide a little work at
Christmas for the t mployed the Syd
ney (Australia) City Council instructed
the Town Clerk to report on works in
hand, and if he found it necessary to
employ additional labor temporarily, au-
thorized him to do so to the extent of
E500, married men to have preference.
The South Australian Federated Oper-
ative Bakers' Union recently passed a re-
solution condemning the local Legislative
Council for continually blocking legisla-
tion passed by the Assembly which gave
the bootmakers, bakers, furniture and
tailoring trades wages boards to fix
wages and hours of Labor.
Clothing Manufacturer heat, of South
Brisbane, Australia, was recently
a total of £7 19/6 (including costs) for
two breaches of the Factories and -
Act — employing a female for more than
forty-eight hours in one week, and em-
ploying a female outside the factory on
a day during which she was also employ-
ed in the factory.
On the application of the New South
Wales Hotel, Club, Restaurant and Ca-
' Employes ' Union, Arbi-
tration Court extended the award made
two years ago, and expiring in December
last, for a further period of four months,
when both parties to the award have to
again make application and fight the
matter out. The bosses opposed the ex-
tension.
Six thousand Government employes
held a meeting at Paris, France, on Janu-
ary 28, and adopted a resolution demand-
ing that the Government frame and have
a bill passed permitting its servants to
form unions. All classes of public
vanfs were represented, from schoolmis-
tresses to jailers. Sixty meetings were
held in the provinces, at each of which a
like resolution was adopted.
During the debate on the Railway Es-
timates in the Queensland (Australia)
Parliament, one Labor member de-
nounced the Railway Department as "the
greatest sweating shop in Queensland,"
and other members of the party specified
numerous instances of the sweating com-
plained of, including the disgraceful
that widow gatekeepers are paid as low-
as 4d. per day. /

Take h 1, ye topers, ere too late,

A man may take his ^»]iisky straight,
I Jut not his homeward way.
The selfish man, whose motto fits
Willi "Ego in excelsis,"
Stands up for his own rights and sits
I >n everybody else 's.
Proof Positive. — "So Jones is a pro-
lific writer?' '
" Prolific! Say, I \1 like to have the
money he pays as return posts
The Family 'fill'. — "'['here's no fool
like an old fool,'' she snapped.
"Really, my dear," he responded with
unnatural calm, "you needn't begin to
fret about your age yet.''
A Modem Truth. — "Of course, you
know," said Kwotor, "that a word to
the wise is sufficient."
"Yes," replied Eeadley, "ami if it's
a Russian word the wise man won't at-
tempt to pronounce it. "
Not Appeased.— Seeing that he had in
some way offended the girl, he wanted to
make good.
"Didn't Grace CUl a sorry figure at
the ball last night?" he asked.
She didn't like Urace, and he knew it.
"I didn't notice," replied the girl
languidly; "why, did she cut YOU?"
Soon after he went home.
Sympathetic— "111 give you some-
thing to eat," said the lady, as she
glanced over at the woodpile, "lint I ex-
pert some work — "
"Lady," pleaded Weary Willie. "I
got a splittin' headache. ' '
" i on have? "
"Ves'm. The thought of splittin'
wood always gives me that kind of a
headache. ' '
Sacrifice Imperative.— It was her first
proposal, and, although somewhat rat-
tled, she remembered the proprieties.
"You would give up everything I'm
met" she asked.
ne answered her that he would.
" Even smoking?"
' ' 1 eoiihln 't do that. ' '
"Sir! "
"No; for I never smoked."
Then he had to promise to learn to
smoke so as to have something to sacri-
fice. And in the In art of each the joy
bells rang.

We are one of the pioneers to adopt the union
label of the Garment Workers. We manufacture all our clothing in
our own workshops, and all of it is made by union men. Ours are
the only thoroughly union clothing stores in San Francisco.

THE FOSTER PRO-CHINESE BILE.
Total Repeal of Exclusion Threatened.
American Sovereignty Surrendered to China.
WHEREAS, There is now pending in the Con-
gress of the United States a bill, II. R.
12973 (otherwise known as the Foster bill)
by the terms of which it is proposed to greatly modify
Ihe Chinese Exclusion Act by limiting to certain pre-
scribed classes the number of Chinese persons who may
hereafter be excluded from the United States; and
"Whereas, Said Foster bill, by virtue of its inci-
dental features providing for appeals to the courts
and for the issuance by the Department of Commerce
and Labor of permits to land without any other au-
thority than an oral declaration of eligibility on the
part of those Chinese persons seeking admission to the
United States, would lead to interminable litigation
and the inevitable breakdown of the Exclusion system;
therefore be it
Resolved, By the Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League, in regular session assembled at San Francisco,
February 4, 1906, that we oppose the passage of said
Foster bill as an undesirable, unnecessary and danger-
ous extension of the "exempt class" privileges
granted by the terms of the present law on the subject
of Chinese Exclusion and as calculated to make nuga-
tory all efforts to exclude Chinese persons of any
class; further
Resolved, That we reiterate our insistence upon the
preservation of the present Chinese Exclusion Act,
without any modification or alteration in any respect;
further
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sub-
mitted to the Senators and Representatives in the Con-
gress of the United States and to the press of San
Francisco, with a request for the early and favorable
consideration thereof; further
Resolved, That all affiliated bodies ami our fellow-
citizens in general are hereby requested to express
themselves in similar manner upon the measure herein
referred to.
Resolutions similar to the foregoing have been
adopted by the Labor Council and Building Trades
Council. In all likelihood the same sentiment will be
expressed by every labor organization and other body
of American citizens. The American people are in
favor of Chinese Exclusion; the Foster bill would
abolish Chinese Exclusion; therefore the American
people are opposed to the Foster bill.
The measure under discussion has been expected for
a long time. Ever since Secretary of War Taft de-
livered his famous address at .Miami University it has
been known that steps would be taken to break down
the Exclusion policy. The public was not kept long in
suspense. Within a few days following the Taft. pro-
nunciamento President Roosevelt issued the "Ex-
ecutive order" commanding the discontinuance of
"unnecessary harshness" on the part of tin- Chinese
Inspectors, under pain of "immediate dismissal."
Other incidents have followed, and now the logical se-
quence is maintained in the form of the Poster bill.
It is now apparent to the dullest comprehension that
the Administration is determined to repeal the Chinese
Exclusion Act, in effect if not in form, by indirection
if not by formal declaration. It remains to be Been
whose will shall prevail — that of the people, or that of
the Government, which, in this instance, assumes a
position apart from, against, and above the people.
The question of Chinese Exclusion has long been re-
garded as undebatable among the people of the West,
who have gained their knowledge of that question
from personal experience. In the East, where a
Chinaman is seldom seen, and where, of necessity, the
question of Exclusion is discussed from a theoretical
standpoint, there may still be room for debate. Still,
it would be an insult to the intelligence of the de-
clared theorist to undertake a discussion of the charge
that the Foster bill practically repeals the Exclusion
Act. The proof of that charge is plain on the face of
the bill, so plain that one wonders at the courage or
insincerity, as the case may be, displayed by its terms.
The Foster bill wouldn 't exclude a race of elephants,
much less a race of men possessed of the superhuman
ingenuity common to the Chinese.
Doubtless many persons have honestly felt that a
modification of the Chinese Exclusion Act, in respect
to the manner of dealing with the ' ' exempt classes, ' '
may be possible without lessening the efficiency of the
law as a protection to the American people at large.
These persons must now realize the fact, long apparent
to practical men, that the demand for "modification"
in the matter of the "exempt classes" has been in
reality a demand for free and unrestricted immigra-
tion in the matter of the coolie classes. ' ' Modifica-
tion" has been at best an entering wedge making for
nullification. Those who have sought modification, and
modification alone, have simply raised an issue which
in the nature of things can not be confined within its
original lines. The opponents of Chinese Exclusion,
being for the most part shrewd and unscrupulous, have
joined freely in the cry for "modification," because
that cry assured a maximum of success and a minimum
of risk.
Take, for instance, the following example of "modi-
fication," as provided by the Poster bill:
Sec. 7. That the words "laborer" or "laborers,"
wherever used in this Act, shall be construed to mean
both skilled and unskilled manual laborers, including
Chinese employed in mining, fishing, huckstering,
peddling, laundering, or those engaged in taking, dry-
ing, or otherwise preserving shell or other lish for
home consumption or exportation.
Sec. 8. That all Chinese persons other than laborers
shall be entitled to entrance into and residence in the
United States or any island territory under the juris-
diction thereof upon the presentation, at the port or
place of their arrival in the United States, to the Im-
migration or Customs officer of a passport or certificate
issued by the officer duly authorized therefor by the
Government of China, or if issued outside of China
by the Chinese diplomatic or consular officer, or in the
absence of such representative by any diplomatic or
consular officer of the United States, or by the Gov-
ernment Of the country of which they may be citizens
or subjects. This passport or certificate if in the
Chinese or any other language shall be accompanied
by an English translation thereof, and shall contain
the name of the bolder, his occupation or profession,
and a description of his person. It shall be the duty
of the consular representative of the United States at
the port or place from which the person named in the
passpori or certificate is about to depart, to examine
into the truth of the statements set forth in such pass-
port or certificate, and if they arc found to be correct
he shall certify the same under his signature and
official seal. Such passport or certificate, duly vised
by the diplomatic or consular officer of the United
States, when presented by the person to whom it was
issued to the proper Immigration or Customs official
at the port or place in the United States where the
holder thereof seeks to enter, shall entitle the holder
to admittance into and residence in the United States,
and the said passport or certificate shall remain in the
possession of the person to whom it was issued.
The definition of the words "laborer" or "labor-
ers," read in the light of the general tenor of the bill,
means nothing; it is, in fact, a mere pretense of defin-
ing in a very limited sense words which are generally
understood in a very broad sense. In other words, the
definition lessens whatever force might have inhered
in the use of the term laborer. The gist of the bill is
contained in Section 8. Here the language is plain
and to the point. In so many words, the Foster bill
declares that "all Chinese persons, other than laborers,
shall be entitled to entrance into and residence in the
United States * * * upon the presentation * * *
of a passport or certificate issued by the officer duly
authorized therefor by the Government of China," etc.
Certainly nothing could be plainer. Should the Poster
bill become law, the Chinese Exclusion policy of the
United States will be dictated by the Government of
China!
The Foster bill grants to China the absolute and
final authority to say who shall and who shall not
enter the United States from that country. Practically
the Foster bill says to China: "You are dissatisfied
with our administration of the Chinese Exclusion Act I
Very well; we hereby grant yon the power to adminis-
ter the Act yourself, in your own way and in your
own interests." Surely an obliging nation, desirous of
purchasing peace at any price, could do nothing more.
If the Chinese do not immediately raise that un-Ameri
can, or rather anti-American, boycott, it will be be-
cause we have stooped so low that they (the Chinese)
are unable to grasp the full extent of our self-abase-
ment. The man who lies down altogether has no rea-
son to complain if he is walked over.
The provision that passports and certificates issued
by the Chinese Government shall be vised by diplomatic
or consular officials amounts to nothing. The same
may be said of other features of the bill, providing
for appeals to the courts on the part of Chinese whose
right to admittance is questioned, with all the ad-
vantages (to the Chinese) which that recourse implies.
To discuss these features woidd simply be to amplify
the obvious.
The Poster bill is a plain relinquishment to China
of the sovereignty of the United Stales. The recent
attitude of the Administration, in its anxiety to allay
Chinese displeasure and placate the American com-
mercial spirit, has created ;i profound s> use of humilia-
tion on the part of the American people. The Fnslor
bill caps the climax of national disgrace and makes
the United states- erstwhile the world's criterion of
justice, morality and firmness a spectacle to be con-
sumed by even the weak .-sf governments ami peoples.
Will the American people stand for the consumma-
tion of this disgrace.' \\'< unrss not. We opine, and
in fact confidently declare, that when the Poster bill
comes up for a vote if ii shall reach thai stage of
consideration— the American people, through their rep
resentatives in Congress, will declare Cor the main-
tenance of American sovereignty in the [uet of
A merican affair;.
'Ihe Chinese Inclusion Act must ami shall be main-
tained !
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Australian Notes.
(For the Coast Seamen's Jotjbnal.)
Trade here is still fairly brisk on the water-
front. One of the local shipping companies is
employing scabs to work on the wharves, as
there has been a little friction with the long-
shoremen on account of the award of the Arbi-
tration Court which in no case as yet has given
the preference to unionists, as was intended
should be done when the Arbitration Act came
into force.
The Ferry and Tug Boatmen's Union is the
first to gain anything through the arbitration
Court since the appointment of Judge Hay-
den, which goes to prove that there is a pos-
sibility of the smaller Unions gaining some
concessions as these do not affect the large em-
ployer. This particular Union has only been
brought up to the standard of the seamen, as
far as wages are concerned, but with far
longer hours, and no preference to unionists.
There has been some trouble in Brisbane,
Queensland, through the longshoremen tak-
ing action with an oversea company which is
carrying cargo in its ships along the Coast, to
the detriment of the coastal companies. Our
local shipping firms do not seem to worry
about any foreign company taking away their
trade not only by cheap rates, but also by
having to pay the lowest rates of European
wages to their crews. The Australian ship-
ping companies seem to forget, the other fel-
low all the time, who may in the near future
have all their trade. But they seem to take
a keen enjoyment in fighting the man who
lives in the same country as themselves.
The agreement between the deepsea steve-
dores and the Longshoremen's Union expired
on December 31, 1905, and a conference took
place between the two parties, five from each
side, with the result that everything was set-
tled satisfactorily to all, thus saving the heavy
expenses of the Arbitration Court, and the
Longshoremen gained what no union has se-
cured in this Colony, or State, namely, prefer-
ence to unionists.
Great credit is due to W. M. Hughes, labor
member of Parliament, who conducted the case
for the Union (he is also a member of the Un-
ion), assisted by four other members, against
such able men as Captain Owens, Captain
Petersen, Mr. MacKenzie, Captain Napier and
Mr. Andrews. As these gentlemen represent
the largest firms here you will see that the
I'n ion was up against something hard. It re-
mains to be seen how everything will work.
There will be a standing committee of three
from each side to settle all grievances or to
give the definitions of any clause in the agree-
ment.
Sam Smith's seat in the Arbitration Court
has now been declared vacant, so that there
will now be another election, and I think that
Edward Riley, of the Plasterers' Union, will
again be elected. He was there temporarily
for the last three months, and may safely be
regarded as the winning candidate as it is a
foregone conclusion that he will receive the in-
dorsement of the Labor Council.
The Seamen's Union has about awakened to
the fact that it is time to take Legislative ac-
tion to remove some of the abuses that seamen
ha vi' inherited from their forefathers in this
state. One of these is the abolition of the
"Shipping fee"' which compels every seaman
to pay a tax of two shillings for obtaining em-
ployment and being discharged. Such laws
are obsolete in other countries and why not
among a people who prate of democracy.
Another reform that the seamen require is,
that the Electoral laws be amended so as to
grant a full and complete franchise to seamen;
that the necessary qualifications be six months'
service in an Australian ship signing articles in
any New South Wales port, and that facilities
be made to enable them to note by post or be-
fore a Collector of Customs, and that a ship
trading within the state of New South Wales
be made a place within the meaning of the
Act, and the master of the ship be the return-
ing officer. This in itself will give the seamen
power so that we will be able to bring pressure
to bear on the politicians in this State. We
are also asking the Political Labor League
Conference to discuss the request that Sani-
tary Inspectors under the Health Department
be instructed to visit vessels so as to insure
that perfect cleanliness of forecastles and
sanitary conditions are observed. This does
not appear much, but when you observe that
our Shipping laws would lead a person to
understand that the law would only apply to
deepsea ships you can readily see that our
coasters are very much neglected, and the
sanitary arrangements are in a very bad state,
cattle, fruit and hides being packed and
stowed close to the forecastle door and other
abuses which it is unnecessary to mention in
the Journal. Another, but not the least im-
portant, condition that we require is that the
Employers' Liability Act be amended so as
to extend to seamen while in Colonial waters,
on board, on shore, or in boats, as under the
existing state of things a seaman has no claim
and it is up to the seamen to show that we are
alive.
Circulars are being distributed here with
the heading, "The Coming Labor Union," by
Eugene Debs, being a reprint from the
Miners' Magazine, of October 26, 1905. One
portion of it says: "The way to serve the
working class through the A. F. of L. is to
get out of it and leave the capitalist class and
their henchmen in undisputed control."
As a foot note to this circular is printed
the following: "Investigate. Read. Attend

Chinese Pigtails.
German papers forwarded by United States
Consul-General Guenther, of Frankfort, state
that the importation of Chinese pigtails,
which are imported into Europe in packages
of 1000 pounds each, was recently the subject
of court proceedings in England. A laborer
who was employed in preparing camel's hair,
cheap foreign wool, and human hair, had been
taken sick with fatal inflammation of the
spleen (milzbrand). In order to fix the cause
it was ascertained that the pigtails, after
being cut off the heads of Chinamen, were at
once braided and packed. The possibility
exists that the hair comes from the head of
a Chinaman who suffered from the plague or
some other contagious disease. Two previous
cases of "milzbrand" have occurred among
the workingmen of the English establishment.
It is therefore indicated that, these pigtails
should be closely examined under the miscro-
scope, and the result may be to prohibit their
importation.
The blue-jackets of the British second
cruiser squadron will shortly present the
United States North Atlantic fled with a
handsome silver cup as a souvenir of the re-
cent visit to the United States.
Overloaded Ships.
i taring the recent discussion of a bill to pro-
mote the national defense, etc., commonly call-
ed the Ship Subsidy bill, several astounding
statements were made on the floor of the
United States Senate by the ".salt water ex-
perts" of that body. Senator Perkins com-
placently remarked that when a boy he was
"shipmates with able-seamen who could
neither hand, reef nor steer; who did not
know the foremast from the niizzeiimast, or
the topgallant yard from the spanker."
Senator Mallory said that a short while
ago he was discussing the advisability of es-
tablishing the Plimsoll mark, or something
similar, for American ships, but found that
there was no desire for it; that there was no
demand for it in the foreign trade, and he
did not know of any in the coasting trade:
that while vessels would sometimes overload
and incur risk that way the danger of a ves-
sel being lost through structural weakness was
so rare that he had never heard of it.
We do not know that the adoption of a Plim-
soll mark would be of any value as a factor
for saving valuable lives on a vessel structural-
ly weak or built of poor materials, but as a
prevention against loss of life by overloading
we are inclined to think that there would be
"millions in it" for the seamen.
The following list of vessels lost on the Pa-
cific Coast through overloading — foundering
because unable to rise with the sea — is a start-
ling commentary upon that besetting sin of
the shipowner: Bark Hattie Bessee, 1872 ; bark
Edwin, 1874; bark Cambridge, 1877; ship
( I race Darling, 1878 ; ship Marmion, 1878 ; bark
Thomas R. Foster, 1884; ship Sierra Nevada.
1886; bark Ella S. Thayer, 1886; ship Har-
vey Mills, 1886; bark Eldorado, 1887; bark
Nellie May, 1890 ; ship Ivanhoe, 1894 ; steamer
Montserrat, 1894; steamer Matteawan, 1894;
schooner Jane Grey, 1898.
The foregoing is merely a list of American
vessels foundered through overloading bound
from Puget Sound ports to California. If we
should add to this number the foreign vessels
lost in the same manner and the number of
American vessels engaged in the Australian
trade that have been lost through overloading,
the aggregate number of seamen drowned
through the cupidity of their fellow men
would be something appalling.
Every session of Congress brings with it a
number of bills for the improvement of the
American merchant marine, but we fail to see
any recommendations that will aid the Ameri-
can seaman either financially, physically or
morally.

Shipping congestion continues at the port
of Buenos Ayres, with little prospect of im-
provement until after the coming harvest has
been shipped. The Argentine Congress has
made provisions for building new ports and
docks, which in time will remedy the trouble.
Regular passenger steamers come and go
without difficulty, and it will grealty facili-
tate our business with Argentina when such
a line is running between New York and
Buenos Ayres.
By a vote of S to ") the House Committee
on Merchant Marine and Fisheries has agreed
to make a favorable report on the Littlefield
bill, which docs away with compulsory pilot-
age on sailing vessels engaged in the coast-
wise trade.

On the Atlantic Coast.
(Contributed by the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Unions.)
Told to the Marines.
A New York newspaper recently printed
a long yarn about the rescue of the crew of
the British schooner Kipling-, by the steamer
Maine. The crew of the Kipling, it seems,
had told the intelligent water-front scribe
that during the worst part of the gale that
strained their vessel they had constructed and
launched a sea-anchor to help keep her head
to the wind. Thereupon the "staff artist" of
the paper was commissioned to make a pic-
ture of the sea-anchor "from description,"
which he did. And where, gentlemen of the
sea, do you suppose the staff artist placed the
sea-anchor? Why, towing at the stern of the
vessel, with a drift of hawser about the length
of a yawlboat's painter! The picture was
labeled: "A sketch showing how the crew
improvised a sea-anchor in an effort to assist
in keeping her head." Now, what do you
think of that, you sailormen that brave Old
Briny in his lair? "Keeping her head" (up
to windward, presumably) with a sea-anchor
towing astern ! Wow ! This is quite as good,
if not better, than the yarn told by the pres-
ent United States Deputy Shipping Commis-
sioner at Providence, R. I., when acting as re-
porter on the Providence Journal. It was in
1894, and Mr. Nichols, the gentleman in ques-
tion, was at that time attending to the "Port
Notes," "Harbor Jottings," and kindred
topics in the aforesaid paper. The five-
masted schooner Governor Ames, then the
only craft of her kind, and the largest fore-
and-after in the world, had just arrived in
Providence, after a two-years' cruise around
the world. Mr. Nichols was detailed to
"write up" the Ames. Next day a two-
column story came out, with appropriate
headlines. The old salts in Providence — who
numbered quite a few in those days — then
learned with amazement that the Governor
Ames had "collapsible bilge keels"; that her
fore-topmast was of "African pine," and
measured twenty inches in diameter "at the
bowsprit cap"; that the master's son had
embarked on the vessel at the outset as sec-
ond-mate, but in the course of the voyage had
been promoted to "ship's amanuensis" — and
a few other equally interesting "Harbor Jot-
tings."
The "Independence League," the latest
anti-boss and ultra-democratic aggregation of
"champions of the plain people," is true to
the traditions of its predecessors in the field
of "practical politics," in that it carefully
omits from its platform any reference what-
ever to the Initiative and Referendum and the
Recall. It's queer how all these "champions
of the plain people" think they know what is
good for the people much belter than do the
people themselves — just like the "friends"
of the seamen used to think they knew what
was good for "Poor Jack" much better than
the latter himself did. And the parallel may
be extended by the people doing as the sea-
men did — shaking their "champions" and
paddling their own canoe.
Have any of you two-dollar-a-day men ever
stopped to think what would happen to you if
you were as defiant of the law and the courts
as are our trust magnates and high financiers?
"Stone walls do not a prison make" — What!
Tests in Seamanship.
The introduction in Congress of the Goul-
den Manning bill has been the subject of
some speculation among the seamen on the
Atlantic Coast as to the ultimate workings of
the bill, should it be enacted into law. It is
not the custom on the Atlantic Coast for mas-
ters of vessels to issue documentary discharges
to their seamen when paying them off. In
fact, there are thousands of seamen who have
sailed in the Atlantic coastwise trade during
a number of years past who haven't a scrap
of paper to prove that fact. These men are
apprehensive that if the Goulden bill becomes
law they will find it hard to get a ship, as, of
course, under that bill they must in some way
furnish proof that they are able-seamen be-
fore being permitted to ship as such. There
need be no fear on that point, however. Al-
though the Navigation laws of the United
States have never contained any specific pro-
vision for examining seamen as to their effi-
ciency, there has always been an unwritten
law making full provisions for such contin-
gencies, and recognized as valid by the courts
and the seamen of the country. This is the
immemorial custom of a seaman when his
efficiency has been challenged to present him-
self before the chief boatswain of the near-
est American man-o'-war and request to be
examined in seamanship. If the boatswain
examines the seaman and finds that his sea-
'manship is up to the qualifications usually
exacted from an able-seaman, and gives the
seaman a certificate to that effect, the latter
will be accepted in any court of law as suffi-
cient evidence that the holder is a bona fide
able-seaman, or ordinary seaman, as the case
may be. This custom is not followed so fre-
quently nowadays as it used to be, for the
reason that as an oversea maritime nation we
are at present rather small potatoes and ex-
ceedingly few of them in a hill. But, the
custom is still as good "law" as ever, so there
is no need for seamen to feel apprehensive
over the outcome of the Goulden bill.
President Eliot, of Harvard, is quoted as
saying that democracy is the dominant note
of our civilization, and that in a hundred
years from now this will be the most won-
drously democratic nation the world has ever
seen. This curious view seems to confirm the
current impression among workaday citizens
that President Eliot is a good deal of a vis-
ionary, rather than a man of sound, practi-
cal common sense. If there be any one of our
national virtues which more than any other
has deteriorated in the last forty years, it is
that spirit of democracy and sturdy inde-
pendence which differentiated the old-fash-
ioned American from all the rest of the
world. Instead, we are expanding — contract-
ing would perhaps be the more correct term
— into a nation dominated by the most
despicable kind of snobs, to wit, money-wor-
shipping snobs. It is difficult therefore for a
mail with a merely normal equipment of brains
to understand when; President Eliol derives
the premise upon which the prediction attrib-
uted to him is founded. A man having- regard
for facts rather than for theories would have
said that in A. D. 2000 this will probably be
the most wondrously aristo-snobbocratic nation
the world lias ever seen.

ditions: The world owes every trust a living.
The present winter in the East has so far
been of the kind that maketh the heathen
coalman rage and the wicked iceman imagine
vain things.
When one reads the blackmail revelations
in the Town Topics trial one readily under-
stands how the philosopher figured out that
"the pen is mightier than the sword."
"Ring out the old, ring in the new!" The
regulators of our industrial affairs have with
all due solemnity re-christened the "Open
Shop" as the "Free Shop." The next in
order will be the re-christening of "sweat-
shops" as "industrial sanitariums" — and
there you are. Great virtues oft inhere in
names.
Rear-Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan, in an ad-
dress on "The Navy," delivered before the
Patria Club, at New York, on January 12,
advocated an enlargement of the merchant
marine as an unfailing base for a naval re-
serve, and added:
We have a naval reserve or naval militia, but the
last war taught us that such men lack the stamina of
fighting men, to say nothing of the long experience
necessary on the sea to be useful in a conflict.
Admiral Coghlan has the theory of the thing
all right, and no doubt means well enough.
But, unfortunately for him and others of his
way of thinking, the enlargement of the mer-
chant marine, if it be undertaken at all, will
be in accordance with the wishes of certain
eminent gentlemen whose patriotism is bot-
tomed on cheap labor and big profits. Hence
•the more ships we build the more Asiatic sea-
men will be employed on them, for the Chinese
Exclusion Act does not apply to American
ships. This is a fair deduction from the
makeup of the crews which at present man
our transpacific liners. As, according to all
competent authorities, the bulk of our future
commerce will be carried on the Pacific Ocean
it is hard to see where the "base for a naval
reserve" will come in so long as the Chinese
Exclusion Act does not apply to American
ships. If the many estimable gentlemen who
toast "Our Seamen" at public banquets would
only back their words by deeds — but, that's a
horse of another color, of course, and hardly
relevant to the subject, perhaps, so — "back to
the farm ! ' '
The New York Times thinks that the dila-
toriness shown by the authorities in prosecut-
ing the master of the steamer Slocum and her
owners is calculated "to decrease the public
respect for the law and those who execute it. ' '
A writer more observant of the trend of pub-
lic opinion than the Times man seems to be
would have written that, it was calculated "to
increase the public contempt for the law and
those who execute it." Such a phrase as "re-
spect for the law" is a mere meaningless fig-
ure of speech in a country where, ;is in ours,
there is notoriously one law for the rich and
another for the poor.

Prevention of SeasicKness.
It was stated recently in a metropolitan
(New York) newspaper that on a transatlan-
tic liner which had just come across from
Europe were a number of representatives of a
German company, who brought along with
them "several electrical non-vibrating chairs
which were designed to counteract or prevent
seasickness." Just what electricity has to do
with these chairs was not explained. Perhaps
they are constructed according to the arrange-
ment known by physicists as the Julius sus-
pension, which is employed for hanging deli-
cate apparatus so as to prevent disturbances
due to vibrations of the building. In this re-
spect the chairs seem to have been success-
ful, as it is stated that no bad effects were ex-
perienced while the passengers were seated in
them. Unfortunately, however, as soon as the
occupant vacated his chair, he felt the effects
of the vessel and warnings of coming trouble.
For this reason the new wonder can not be
considered altogether satisfactory.
Considering the matter for a moment, it.
would seem that the designers of this re-
markable piece of apparatus were proceeding
along lines directly opposed to those which
they should follow. If the passenger could
be placed in one of these non- vibrating chairs
and remain seated there during the entire voy-
age, he would possibly avoid the pangs of sea-
sickness; but this being out of the question,
he receives a setback every time he sits in the
chair, since he must re-accommodate himself
to the motion of the vessel whenever he gets
up. What the inventors should do would be
to make a chair which would take a prospective
voyager and shake him up so thoroughly that
he would be over and through with his sea-
sickness in five or ten minutes. A chair of
this kind, we believe, was shown at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, though not in-
tended just for this purpose. Or the steam-
ship companies might arrange to give intend-
ing passengers a preliminary treatment ex-
tending over several days, so that they can
accommodate their systems gradually to living
on a moving vessel. Taking a week's training
on a model ship, so as to have oneself pretty
thoroughly shaken up before starting on the
trip, should make one fairly immune from the
discomforts of ocean travel.
Fortunately, however, there seems to be no
great need for either method of treatment, for
with the increasing length and size of ocean
steamers, the pitching and rolling have been
reduced, so that seasickness is now the excep-
tion rather than the rule. This reminds one
that the new Cunard steamer, Carmania, was
hailed as a vessel upon which one might sail
without much risk of seasickness, this immun-
ity being attributed to the turbine engine. The
turbines, however, do not prevent the motion
of the ship as a whole, they merely do away,
to a large extent, with the vibration which is
caused by the reciprocating engine, and which,
while disagreeable, is not likely to produce
seasickness. — Electrical Review.
Consul Wright sends a new table of Mu-
nich school teachers' salaries. Male teachers
receive $600 the first yrur, increasing ixvi><\-
nually to $1080 for thirty years' service and
over; female teachers one-fourth less. Head
teachers receive $242 additional. Drawing
teachers receive $382 and sewing teachers
$300, which increase to $622 and $426 for
thirty years' service. Official life and sickness
insurance is provided for by a deduction of 3
per cent J'roni salaries of male teachers and
1 1-5 per cent, from female.

SEAMEN AND SUBSIDIES.
Whereas, There is now pending in the Senate of the
United States Congress a bil] designated S. 529, the
purposes of which are: "To promote the national de-
fense, to Create a Force of Naval Volunteers, to
establish American ocean mail lines to foreign mar-
kets, to promote commerce, and to provide revenue
from tonnage, ' ' and
Whereas, Said bill (S. 529) would, if enacted into
law, affect the interests of American seamen, to their
serious injury, by virtue of the provisions contained
in Sections 1, 6 and 7 of said bill (S. 529), inasmuch
as these sections, while purporting to create a force
ni' naval volunteers upon a basis of voluntary enroll-
ment on the part of the seamen, would, in practice,
make such enrollment compulsory, thus creating a
system of conscription, since in order to secure em-
ployment on vessels deriving benefit under the terms
of the said bill (S. 529) the seamen would be com-
pelled to voluntarily (?) enroll themselves in the naval
volunteers; and
Whereas, The general features of the said bill (S.
529) afford no assurance of accomplishing the objects
sought, namely, improvement in the materiel and per-
sonnel of the American merchant marine, but, on the
contrary, are destined to impose upon the public ad-
ditional burdens for the exclusive benefit of certain
classes; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Sailors ' Union of the Pacific, that
we are opposed to the passage of the said bill (S. 529) ;
further
Resolved, That we hereby urge upon the Congress
of the United States the enactment of such legislative
measures, now pending in that body, as are calculated
to remedy the defects in the Navigation laws, par-
ticularly such as bear upon the personnel of the Am-
erican merchant marine, to the end that the objects
sought by Senate Bill 529 may be achieved by legit-
imate and direct means which shall appeal to and meet
with the approval of the American people, reviving
in them a personal interest and pride in maritime
affairs, without which the profession of the sea and
all that appertains thereto must continue in the pres-
ent state of public indifference and contempt; further
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be for-
warded to the proper quarters, with an urgent request
for consideration thereof.
The Ship Subsidy bill will be voted upon
to-day by the United States Senate. If his-
tory repeats itself, the bill will pass the Sen-
ate, go over to "another place"— and there
await the results of the next election. Thus
the gentlemen seeking re-election will be able
to repeat their time-honored stunt of riding
two horses, each galloping full speed in a dif-
ferent direction. In localities having a large
commercial vote the candidate will "point
with pride" to the passage of the bill by the
Senate. In other localities the finger of pride
will be turned in the other direction, namely,
toward the House of Representatives, in which
the bill has been held up. The trick is a sim-
ple one, and usually very successful.
Whatever be the fate of the Ship Subsidy
bill in Congress, it is absolutely certain that
that measure will accomplish nothing for the
American merchant marine, and less than
nothing for the American seaman, merchant
or naval. We say "less than nothing" be-
cause the bill, by pretending to do something
for the seaman, is calculated to satisfy the
public demand for such action, and tbus to
defer the passage of legislation that actually
means something. So far as the seamen's in-
terests are concerned, the Ship Subsidy bill is
not even a pretense; it is a deliberate insult.
When the Congressional Commission was ap-
pointed, some time ago, to investigate the con-
ditions of the American merchant marine, it
was stipulated that the conditions of the sea-
men should be studied with a view to recom-
mending such legislation as might be neces-
sary to make sea life tolerable, if not attract-
ive, to American boys and men. Accordingly,
a large number of seamen were examined by
the Commission. The seamen, through their
regularly authorized representatives, submit-
ted a number of well-matured proposals for
the betterment of their daily lives.
What is the result? Positively nothing.
Had the seamen been overlooked in the inves-
tigation they could not possibly have been
more completely ignored in the Commission's
report. Now the gentlemen of the Commis-
sion ask the votes of Congress and the money
of the people for a proposition that is purely
empirical. The "naval volunteer" scheme
might have been, and in fact probably was,
evolved in a committee room without the
slightest reference to practical conditions; at
any rate, it smells of the lamp. Meanwhile,
all the seamen's proposals, based upon the
practical experience of generations, are given
the contemptuous go by; there is nothing in
them — nothing, that is, to interest the medi-
cine-men to whom the Treasury is the phar-
macopeia and its contents the sovereign cure-
all.
Therefore the resolutions adopted by the
Sailors' Union of the Pacific, as herewith
published. The organized seamen are opposed
on principle to the Ship Subsidy bill, first as
a measure of class privilege; secondly, as an
insult to the seafaring craft. Any measure
which assumes to purchase seamen for a pal-
try consideration in dollars and cents and to
enslave them in the name of "national de-
fense" will be opposed by its prospective vic-
tims at every stage of the game, whether as
a bill or as a law.
"FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU."
Those sterling Australian labor papers,
The Worker, of Brisbane, Queensland, and
The Worker, of Sydney, New South Wales,
issued handsome Christmas numbers, each in
its way being a model of seasonable literature
for sensible men and women. The Workers
are able and valiant champions of labor's
cause and well deserve the success that at-
tends them. May they have lots more of it is
the wish of theirs truly, the Coast Seamen's
Journal.
Eastern pro-Chinese advocates declare that
we in the West are "fanatics." So far as
fanaticism is synonymous with uncompromis-
ing zeal, we plead guilty. So far as fanati-
cism stands for unreasoning prejudice, we —
but we won't argue about that. If our pro-
Chinese friends will submit an argument in
defense of their own position, we shall be
pleased to accommodate them with a complete
answer. Calling names proves nothing.
Demand the union label on all products!
It is to be expected that the Union Labor
government of San Francisco will be made
the butt of all sorts of "reformers." Every-
body with a hobby will insist upon the city
officials getting up behind them, or stand con-
demned— by the hobbyists— as "false to their
pledges." We trust it is not too much to ex-
pect that the city government will be equal to
the occasion, that it will guard against being
misled by the clamor of fakers or the maud-
lin sentiment of theorists. San Francisco
wants honesty, not "reform," in its govern-
ment ; that is what it needs and what it voted
for, and it won't be satisfied with anything
less. If the Union Labor party shall give the
city an honest administration, as we believe it
will, it may rest assured of approval by the
citizens, regardless of any and all criticism at
the hands of self-constituled "champions of
the poor," which criticism is usually regarded
as a compliment to the common sense of those
to whom it is applied.
Of course, the "reformer" is already at
work — that is, at work as a "reformer." He
insists that the city shall establish a "Free
Employment Bureau." In justification of
this demand reference is made to the methods
of the private employment agencies. These
methods arc well understood and widely con-
demned by the public. Every possible effort
has been made by legislative and executive
measures to abolish the evils of the private
employment agency, but without success.
Now, because doubt is expressed regarding
the proposal to abolish the employment shark
at one lick, the doubters are charged with sym-
pathy for the said fish. The "reformer's"
process of reasoning is curious, yet simple.
He is so fully convinced that his notions are
an inspiration from on high that he can not
conceive of any honest difference of opinion ;
whoever differs from him is either a knave or
a fool, or both !
Leaving aside the legal question as to the
power of the Supei-visors to establish a "pub-
lic utility," as the proposed institution is de-
fined, it is quite evident that the "Free Em-
ployment Bureau" would accomplish nothing
in competition with the privately conducted
concerns in the same business. The theory
that the prospective employer and employe
will patronize that institution the services of
which are free, in preference to one in which
payment is required, looks well and may work
well — as a theory. But the cold facts of col-
lusion between the employer and the employ-
ment agent, on the one hand, and the helpless-
ness of the employe, on the other, do not jibe
with that theory. So long as the private em-
ployment agent is permitted to carry on busi-
ness with practically no restraint upon his ra-
pacity, it is certain that the "Free Employ-
ment Bureau" would prove a public orna-
ment rather than a public utility, an object
lesson in municipal impotency and a mark for
every enemy of the government. As the laws
now stand, and as they are likely to remain,
if the recent decision of the State Supreme
Court, in the Dickie case, be any criterion,
there seems little immediate hope of abolish-
ing, or even restricting, the private employ-
ment agency. An effort to accomplish the
latter object, in spite of the almost hopeless
outlook, would be well worth while, and will
doubtless be undertaken; but that is another
story.
The "Free Employment Bureau," honestly
conducted, would do some business, of course.
It would do some, possibly all, of the business
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
now done through the advertising columns of
the press ; but that, we take it, is not the kind
of business which the proposal is aimed at.
Again, the institution in question would prob-
ably do some of the business now done by the
trade-unions, through their respective offices.
No doubt many employers would welcome the
opportunity to free themselves from the
"business agent" and "walking delegate" by
resort to the "Open Shop" establishment
maintained by the city. No doubt, too, the
trade-unions would be placed in a rather em-
barrassing position if forced to place a bau
upon an institution established by themselves,
so to speak. That the trade-unions would act
toward the "Free Employment Bureau" as
their immediate interests dictated, regardless
of the effect upon the city government, is a
foregone conclusion. In a word, the proposed
"public utility" would accomplish nothing
for the ostensible objects of its care, while it
would undoubtedly injure other classes who
are at present able and willing to take care
of themselves.
The Supervisors are told that such institu-
tions are successful in other cities. Whence
comes the information? Why, from the offi-
cials who conduct these institutions ! Evi-
dence of that kind is worth no more than the
paper it is printed on and considerably less
than the evidence of one's own reasoning
powers.
The sympathy of every right-minded citi-
zen is with the men and women who are forced
to seek work through the private employment
agency. But sympathy is one thing and prac-
tical legislation another. All the sympathy
in the world won't run the government for a
single day. Moreover, sympathy won't find
jobs for the unemployed. On the contrary,
sympathy without sense is likely to hurt
rather than help the persons upon whom it is
bestowed. One thing should be kept clearly
in mind. The establishment of the "Free
Employment Bureau" will not make a single
day's work for a single individual — always
excepting the jobs that go with the "Bureau"
itself. The total result of the establishment
of that institution would be to involve the
city government, by a process of reasoning
inexplicable but none the less inevitable, in
responsibility for the lack of work. A co-
related result would be to widen the field and
increase the prestige of those who now declare
themselves the "representatives of the unem-
ployed." Isn't it rather early to begin the
work of raising another Coxey Army in San
Francisco? Wouldn't Mayor Schmitz and
his colleagues be rather foolish to encourage,
and indeed actually start, a movement which
is predestined to make San Francisco the
Mecca of the unemployed and their "repre-
sentatives" in all parts of the country? We
guess yes. Also, we guess that the Mayor
won't do anything of the kind.
If the Union Labor administration would
avail itself of a good opportunity to escape
the snare that is now set before it for the
purpose, chiefly, of ruining its prospects of
success, and at the same time commend itself
to the confidence of the people, it will put a
firm foot down on the "Free Employment
Bureau" scheme and notify the promoters of
that scheme that they have mistaken the
Union Labor party for an easy mark.
You can't judge a man by the coat that he
wears, but if there's a union label in the
pocket of it, you can make a pretty safe guess.
Demand the union label on all products !
"We have won!" Thus the February issue
of the Typographical Journal announces the
result of the national eight-hour-day move-
ment of the printers. Only a remnant of the
Typothetae forces remains in the field, and
that will doubtless be gathered to its fathers
within a few weeks. In a number of cities,
as in San Francisco, the eight-hour day and
union rules have been recognized by many
employers who, prior to the strike, were run-
ning "Open Shops." The victory of the In-
ternational Typographical Union is one of
the most complete in the history of organized
labor, and its results will redound to the ad-
vantage of all trades. Congratulations a
thousand times over !
Certain of the Journal's esteemed contem-
poraries in the labor field have recently
passed the annual milepost in their respective
careers. The Chronicle, of Cincinnati, 0., has
completed its fourteenth year, a fact which
that paper takes justifiable pride in. The
Lancaster Labor Leader, of Lancaster, Pa.,
has also reached the mature age of fourteen
years. These old friends of ours, despite the
dignity of their years, are still as full of fight
as when they made their first assault upon
the vested wrongs of labor. The Portland
Labor Press, of Portland, Or., has completed
its fifth year and is now a well-established
institution. We take pleasure in the success
of our co-workers and wish them an indefinite
continuance of the same.
The trade-union isn't a "trust in labor" or
any other kind of trust! Writers and speak-
ers on the labor question should keep this fact
well in mind, otherwise they are apt to be
'way off in their conclusions. Those writers or
speakers who assume to defend the trade-
union as a trust — "no worse than a trust in
capital" ( !) — should quit the business. Their
views may be well meant, but their methods of
reasoning are repugnant to common sense.
The person who can't see the difference be-
tween the trade-union and the trust can't see
the difference between right and wrong. His
place is in the elementary class in morals.
What ho, hullo ! A consignment of Amer-
ican school-books printed in Japan has been
held up at San Francisco awaiting instruc-
tions from Washington, D. C, as to its status
under the Tariff laws. These books are exact
duplicates of the work turned out by the
American Book Company, the only difference
being one of price. The Jap books wholesale
at ll/z cents, whereas the American price is
57 cents! Now, what d'ye think of that?
This paper thinks, as it always has thought,
that the United States has more to fear from
Japanese books than from Japanese battle-
ships.

LaKe Seamen's Conference.
The most harmonious conference of the
Lake Seamen's Union held in recent years lias
just come to a close. The conference met on
Monday, January 8, and adjourned on the
16th.
The following were named as a Committee
on Rules: Pearce, Slater and Fitzpatrick;
Committee on Constitution, Thos. A. Hanson,
Murphy, Cringle, Buckley, Benson, Ward and
D. C. Hanson; Committee on Resolutions. Mc-
Coy, Olander, Scanlon, Slater, Pearce, Lester
and Keogh; Committee on Agreements, Jen-
kins, Fitzpatrick, Roberts, Farrell, Shaw.
Penje and Cahill.
The proceedings of the conference are now
in each office of the Union and may be read
in detail by any member.
Resolution No. 1, to limit the liability of
the organization for Death Benefit to those
actually dependent upon the deceased for a
living, is a step in the right direction. The
Lake Seamen's Union is a Labor* organization,
m >t an insurance company, and should not be
compelled to pay benefits except to those, who
actually need help. The same may be said of
Resolution No. 2 regarding Shipwreck Bene-
fits. Under the present conditions the organi-
zation is sometimes compelled to pay Ship-
wreck Benefit to members who lost nothing
whatever. Resolution No. 3 and Resolution
No. 5 are very similar, and, in the writer's
opinion, were among the most important of-
fered at the convention. Resolution No. 3
limits the number of elected delegates to Con-
ventions to fourteen, and Resolution No. 5
limits the number to ten and conferences every
two years, instead of each year, as is now the
law. The argument was made for the latter
resolution, that it would save about $1500 per
year. The argument against it was that it
would limit the representation to the Execu-
tive Board. The Conference compromised on
sixteen delegates every year.
A resolution debarring seamen who come
from salt water and who are not members of
any union, was defeated, upon the ground of
class legislation, and the fear that we would
therein- create a lot of scabs who would op-
pose US in ease of a strike.
A resolution preparing a way to trace lost
membership books, to fine or expel any
member who lends or sells his book, and
to punish any member who carelessly loses
his hook, was adopted by the Convention,
and should be adopted by the member-
ship. A resolution to raise the Initiation
Fee for able-seamen to $10.00 was defeat-
ed, upon the grounds that it has been
conclusively proven that high initiation fees
and low dues have proved the rock upon
which hundreds of Labor organizations have
stranded, while a low initiation fee and high
dues have shown results exactly the re-
verse. This brings us to the resolution to
raise the dues to 75 cents per month. I do
not think that the introducer of this resolu-
tion had any idea that it would carry through
the Conference. Certainly few members of
the Conference have any idea that it will be
adopted by the referendum, yet it is only fair
to give the members a chance to vote on the
question. If "t should be adopted, and the
resolution to build the "Seamen's Home" is
also adopted, there will be no 10 cents per
month assessments against our members to
maintain the "Home." The assessments will
be paid out of the General Treasury. Regard-
ing the "Seamen's Home," the members will
have an opportunity to vote on that question
some time in July, and 1 respectfully requesl
every member of the Union to vote. Due no-
tice will be given, and the voting will continue
for one week. The adoption of the ■"Seamen's
Borne" resolution means a lump sum out of
the treasury of ten per cent, of the whole.
At present the Lake Seamen's Union would
pay something over $6,000 and afterward ten
cents per month per member.
A resolution to fine or expel any member
who is found guilty of talking of the affairs or
business of the Union in saloons or any pub-
lic place is good and should he adopted. Al-
though the Union obligation covers the point,
it can not be impressed too strongly upon the
minds of the members that the employers are
always eager for any information regarding
the movements or intentions of the organ ia-
tion. and that the friend (?) whom you meet
casually may be looking for information.
A resolution to cut. down the force of dele-
gates and agents employed by the Union and
thereby reduce expenses, while not adopted by
the Convention, is an opening wedge toward
the correction of a great evil now existing in
the Union. Too many members depend solely
upon the delegate or agent to see that all mem-
bers of the crew are in good standing. Too
many members, who may be running behind
themselves, neglect to drop into the hall when
they are ashore, and depend upon the agent or
dele-ate to hunt them up and dun them for
dues.
The Inspectors' Card, adopted by this Con-
vention, is the natural consequence of this con-
dition of affairs. The Inspector, if the resolu-
tion be adopted, will be empowered by the Un-
ion to inspect all books and see that all mem-
bers of the crew are in good standing, and re-
port those who are not. This is strictly the
limit of his authority. He cannot collect dues,
settle disputes, and in fact, outside of the
duties mentioned, has no more authority than
any other member of the crew. The idea of
the Convention being simply to encourage the
members to go to the hall to pay dues, and
take more interest in the welfare of their or-
ganization.
A resolution to employ three organizers to
help organize the Licensed Pilots of the Lakes,
and to give our moral and financial support
to them, should be adopted without a dissent-
ing vote. This is a matter of self-preservation.
We are not giving any money away, simply
lending it. and simply protect inir ourselves. I
think we should go further and refuse to sail
with any mate or pilot not a member of the
Union affiliated with the Seamen. This is
simply a question of whether you are willing
to allow yourselves to be placed in the position
of a grain of wheat between two mill stones.
Let us, each and every one, give his best ef-
forts toward our own cause, and help the
Pilots to their feet, that some day they may
help us. Since our convention, a dual body
of pilots lias obtained a charter from the
American Federation of Labor by misrepre-
senting that tiny were not affiliated with the
International Longshoremen's Association, or
so-called "I. L. M. & T. A." The charter was
issued contrary to the ethics of Unionism and
contrary to the usages of the American Fed-
eration of Labor which when a charter is ap-
plied for, usually consults any other organiza-
tion already chartered upon whose jurisdiction
the new body may encroach. This was not
done in the Pilots' case, and it remains to be
seen whether the Seamen will accept the worst
of it from shore organizations all the time.
or whether they will emphatically demand
that they be given the same justice as is ac-
corded organizations on shore.
A protest was entered upon Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw's recommendation to abolish
the United States Marine Hospital at Port-
land. Me., Wilmington, Del., Louisville, Ky.,
St. Louis, Mo., Cairo, 111., Detroit. .Mich.,
Vineyard Haven, Key West. Evansville, Ind..
Memphis, Tenn., Cleveland, Ohio, and Port
Townsend, Wash. This recommendation of
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw is not surpris-
ing and should open the eyes of every Seaman
in the world to the opinion in which they are
held by landsmen in every walk of life, and
should teach them that upon themselves, and
upon themselves alone, they must depend for
emancipation, and that there should be noth-
ing but harmony and a family feeling among
all seamen.
Upon the work of the Committee on Agree-
ments nothing can be made public at present
for obvious reasons. In conclusion I wish to
say that the whole interest of every member of
the convention was centered upon the better-
ment of the condition of seamen in general
and the Lakes Seamen's Union in particular.

Trade-Union "Homes.1
The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen is going to
build an international home, and $75,000 has been set
aside to start with, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The business organizations of Colorado Springs recent-
ly held a meeting and decided to make an offer to the
trainmen of ■ trad oi land and such other induce-
ments as will practically insure the location of the in-
stitution in that city. In this connection it may be of
intmst to know that the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen has been in existence twenty-three years,
that it has 7L\S lodges, with 7S,(Min members. $1,560,000
in its treasury, pays out $140,000 every thirty days in
claims, has over $87,000,000 insurance in force and has
paid out $11,512,636.13 in benefits.
The foregoing appeared in the Union Lead-
er, of Chicago, 111. Colorado Springs is a
beautiful place, e manding a splendid view
of Pike's Peak, the Garden of the Cods, Ute
Pass, Manitou, and the Rockies, with a health-
giving climate and fertile land. The Printers
Home is located in this place and id most sure-
ly the home of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen will be built there. But I fear that
it is not the place for the National Seamen's
Home, I think our old comrades would rath-
er be near the water, somewhere along the
Gulf Coast, I should think, where there is no
severe cold and no very severe heat.

Marine Notes.
The Indiana Steamship Company will name
the new steamer now building for it at the
yard of the Toledo Shipbuilding Company,
Toledo, Theodore Roosevelt. The president
has given his consent to the use of his name.
The 11,000-ton steamer building at the Wy-
andotte yard of the American Shipbuilding
Company for the L. C. Smith Transportation
Company will be named for Harry Coulby,
President and General Manager of the Pitts-
burg Steamship Company. The new boat will
be a duplicate of the steamers Gary, Corey.
Perkins and Frick, which came out last. She
will be 569 feet over all, 549 feet keel, 56 feet
beam and 31 feet deep. The Coulby will come
out at the opening of navigation next spring.
The owners of the new boat own the 10,000-
ton steamer, Lyman C. Smith.
Captain G. W. Homier, of Grand Haven,
Mich., who was master of the iron ore carrier
Fleetwood, of the Tonawanda Iron & Steel
Co.'s fleet, of North Tonawanda, last season
has been appointed master of the freighter
William A. Rogers, to succeed Captain F.
Derringer, of North Tonawanda. Captain
Derringer will continue in the employ of the
Niagara Transit Company and will supervise
the construction of the mammoth freighter
building by the American Shipbuilding Com-
pany, which will be known as the Charles
Weston, of North Tonawanda.
Bids for dredging the southern portion of
Black Rock harbor were opened recently at
Buffalo and of the eight bidders the Empire
Engineering corporation of New York, was the
lowest at $603,154.20. Some time ago money
for this improvement was appropriated by the
Government, but the Secretary of War, under
whose jurisdiction such work is done, declined
to sanction the expenditure of money appro-
priated until the 1,000-ton barge canal was
assured. The improved channel will connect
with the barge canal at the mouth of Tona-
wanda Creek.
There is an enormous amount of coal dock
work under way at the head of the Lakes this
winter. The biggest job is that of the Pitts-
burg Coal Company at Port Arthur, where a
part of what will ultimately be the largest
dock in the world is well along toward comple-
tion. At Washburn the old Ohio & North-
western fuel docks will be enlarged by an ex-
tension of 200 feet with an additional clam-
shell machine for the Northwestern dock, which
will thus be given a considerably increased
unloading capacity. The Northwestern Coal
Company's big dock on the bay front at Su-
perior, which was partly built two years ago,
will be completed this year and the present
unloading and storage space will thereby be
doubled. This work is expected to cost in the
neighborhood of $600,000. The Philadelphia
& Reading Coal Company, which now uses
some Great Northern dock space for its coal
business, has acquired a site for a large re-
ceiving dock on Conner's Point and will build
there the coming year.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Insurance by WorKingmen.
The recent public expose of the wretched
condition of the unemployed in England, and
the sufferings even in this country of aged,
infirm, or unemployed laboring men, have
roused 1 ho attention of the world to the ef-
forts of the German Government to compel
the German working classes to make provis-
ion for themselves against a rainy day. The
employers are taxed for the maintenance of
the fund, to which the Government also eon-
tributes. The workingmen are compelled by
law to allow so much, pro rata, to be taken
out of their wages every pay day and handed
over to the government. The money thus
amassed ensures to the employe, in case of
sickness, accident, disablement, or old age, a
permanent means of support. But the
growth of the movement has been gradual.
According to Mr. \V. Morgenroth, librarian
of the City Commercial College of Cologne, it
was suggested by William L's message of
1881. Writing in Ueber Land und Meer
(Stuttgart). Mr. Morgenroth describes the
success of the movement at some length and
says:
"It is now twenty years since the introduc-
tion of State insurance for workingmen in
Germany. From December 1, 1884, dates
sickness insurance; from October 1, 1885, in-
dustrial accident insurance; from January
1, 1891, disablement and old age insurance.
And yet it has already covered so much
ground and produced such many-sided and
comprehensive results, that it touches almost
the whole of the life of our people in its
social and economic bearing. Its useful and
beneficent results are so apparent, and the
disadvantages feared have proved so slight in
comparison, that no one in Germany longer
thinks of setting it aside, and every one every-
where is anxious to extend and improve it."
The insurance, we are told, provides for the
whole lower order of workingmen, and since
its establishment (1895-1904) about $1,500,-
000,000 have been capitalized for this pur-
pose. The employers and the government
contribute some 63 per cent, of the sum raised.
To quote:
"German insurance for workingmen em-
braces to-day the whole of the lower stratum
of the laboring population. In round num-
bers 10,500,000 laborers are secured by it
against sickness, 18,000,000 against accidents,
and the want of old age. Year by year, it
now demands an ever-increasing expenditure
of more than a half milliard of marks (about
* 125,000,000), and altogether since its estab-
lishment (i. e., from 1885 to 1904) much more
than six milliards of marks (about $1,500,-
000,000) have been raised for it— considera-
bly more than the indemnity paid by France
in 1871. For its administration a fund of one
and a half milliards of marks has been col-
lected. Of these expenditures, in 1901 the in-
sured workingmen had to raise by their cur-
rent contributions only 37.6 per cent, (against
46.4 per cent, in 1891), while the balance was
covered by the contributions of the employers,
the government auxiliary appropriation, and
the interest on the entire capital. Yet, apart
from the cost of administration and outlay
for property, they directly benefited the whole
working class by the most manifold aid. Last
year alone, over 400,000,000 marks were paid
out to workmen and workwomen needing help
—to over 4,000,000 sick, about 800,000 injured
by accidents, almost 600,000 disabled, and to
more than 200,000 old-age pensioners."
Between Germany and other countries the
following comparison is drawn:
"No other civilized people expends to-day
such sums for working men and the economic-
ally weak as is spent in German social insur-
ance. They are gradually beginning in other
countries also hesitatingly to follow German
pioneering in this field. In Austria. Hungary,
Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, Swe-
den, Norway. Finland and Russia, there are
being introduced some parts of the social in-
surance, especially of the accident insurance,
and in part also of the sickness insurance, in
imitation of the German model. But they are
everywhere still far behind the German exem-
plar in significance. Still less elaborate is the
care of workingmen in those States that, like
Greal Britain and France, wholly lack com-
pulsory insurance for workingmen. By the
economic self-help of voluntary organizations
of workingmen i upon which all there de-
pends), experience shows that merely a very
small part of the wage-earners generally
merely the elite of the Laboring class, already
raised in itself — is to be won. Precisely to
those workingmen who need help most, it of-
fers oothing. "—Literary Digest.
British Fishing Industry.
United States Consul Stephens, of Ply-
mouth, Eng., furnishes the following regard-
ing the fishing industry of Great Britain: It
is reported that the shellfish season throughout
the entire district came to an end earlier than
usual. There are a few fishing on the south
coast, with satisfactory results. The season
for 1905 has been a most productive one. es-
pecially in crabs and lobsters. The pilchard
fishery, which commenced unusually early.
was attended with much success in the matter
of numbers during July, but the subsequent
months were not so successful. About 50,-
000 casks (half hogsheads) were cured in the
district in addition to a large number during
the season disposed of fresh. Altogether, the
season, particularly during the summer, was a
record one, yet in consequence of low juices.
it has not been remunerative. The American
market grows very slowly and is not encourag-
ing to the English shippers. The Italian mar-
ket has been bad. Herring fishing oil' the
Irish coast during the early summer was not
a success. The Kinsale mackerel season was
a failure, many boats failing to pay expenses.
The autumn herring fishery commenced early,
with so far little success. Though this fish is
at present plentiful, there does not seem to
be any regular run ; the fluctuation is very
great from year to year.
As a result of a recent conference which
continued three days between the secretary
of the railway ministry and representatives
of the employes of the State railways, the
"passive-resistance" strike in Austria has
been settled. The strikers accepted the pro-
posals of the Government. Nearly all the
grievances complained of by the workmen
were remedied, and the assurance given that
no one would be called to account for par-
ticipating in the strike. The Government also
promised to assume the part of mediator in
the case of trouble between the workmen and
boards of directors of private railways. The
total mileage of railways in Austria is 12,382
miles, and the total population 26,000,000.
The total mileage of railways in Bohemia U3
3,830 miles, and the total population 6,300,-
000.

Loose labels in retail stores are counterfeits. Unprincipled manufacturers are

ama.
Commissioners have been appointed by
the Russian Government to examine the
projects of two American promoters for
the development of two Asian railroads,
one to run from Taskend to Tomsk, and
the other to extend from Chita to Behr-
ing Sea.
The demands of the colored inhabitants
of the Transvaal and Orange River col-
onies for full political rights are becom-
ing more insistent. The African Colored
Political Association, representing all
South Africa, is preparing a monster pe-
tition to King Edward asking for all the
political rights enjoyed by the whites.
Between 15,000 and 25,000 homeseek-
ers started for the West and Southwest
on February 5, through the gateways of
Chicago, Memphis, St. Louis, Kansas

tions by passenger men who have been

Advices have been received by the New
York office of the Manchester Ship Canal
Company of a joint fortnightly service
between Manchester and the River Plate
by the Leyland Steamship Company, of
the International Mercantile Marine
Company, and the Manchester Liners,
Limited. The service, it is said, will be
equal to any existing between Great
Britain and tic River Plate, and its de-
velopment will place Manchester among
the commercial ports of England. The
Manchester Ship Canal Company's devel-
opments are especially interesting at
pi csent in view of what is being done by
this country in Panama in connection
with Canal work.

World's WorKers.
President Palma of Cuba has vetoed a
measure passed by Congress prohibiting
the importation of foreigners to work in
the ports during strikes.
The Emperor of Japan has donated
$25,000 for the relief of the famine suf-
ferers. According to the latest returns
nearly a million persons in Japan are on
the verge of starvation.
The weekly wage of more than half of
the male workers of sixteen years and
over in Hungary average from $2.08 to
$4.16. Over forty per cent of the fe-
male workers receive leea than $1.25 per
week. The workday averages from nine
to ten hours.
The great increase in the cost of liv-
ing and the rise in rents in Buenos
Ayres is causing great inconvenience and
discontent among the working classes.
The price of meat in that city at tin lie
ginning of December was higher than
that of Argentine frozen meat of the
first quality sold in London.
Out of 178,059 members of 1054
French trade-unions which made returns
to the French Labor Department, as to
the state of employment, 1.8,536, or 10.4
per cent, were out of work in November,
as compared with 8.9 per cent in the pre-
vious month and 11.0 per cent in No-
vember, 1904. These figures are exclu-
sive of the miners' unions in the I'as de-
Calais and Nord departments.
By an order of the Prussian Ministry
of Public Works, dated December 27,
1905, a nine-hour working day was in-
troduced on January 1, 1900, in the
State Railway workshops in the Berlin,
l'rankfort-on-Main, Magdeburg and Pos-
en Railway districts, and time l
were increased so that no decrease in the
workmen's wages should result from the
(eduction in working hours.
In the 270 British trade unions, with
a total membership of 581,630, making
returns, 28,734 (or 4.9 per cent) were
unemployed at the end of December, as
compared with 4.7 per cent at the end
of the previous month, and 7.6 per cent
at the end of December, 1904. The
slight increase in the percentage unem-
ployed at the end of December, as com-
pared with November, was largely due
to the Christmas holidays.
The Queensland (Australia) trade-
unions registered under the Act had a
total membership of 5278 at the end of
1904. This does not represent anything
like the full numerical strength, as many
anions are not registered. The numbers
for this year ought to be considerably
larger, considering that the sugar work-
ers have formed a union, and that there
is a big increase in the Australian Work-
ers' Union membership in the Western
districts and at Charters Towers.
A number of Chinese and a few white
men held a meeting in Melbourne, Aus-
tralia, recently to protest against the
]ins<ing of the bill to amend the Vic-
torian Factories and Shops Act. They
passed a resolution to the effect that as
an angry feeling exists in China and
Japan regarding Australian immigra-
tion laws, "it would be unwise" to pass
the proposed humane legislation, which
they condemned as "a measure of perse-
cution. "
The strike, affecting about 4,000 oper-
ative? in the wool and cotton weaving
industry throughout Denmark, which
commenced on July 1, 1905, terminated
on December 5. By the terms of the
agreement, which is to remain in force
till January 1, 1911, subject to three
months' notice before that date, or be-
fore any succeeding 1st of January, the
working time in those factories in which
the daily hours of labor are ten or over
is to be reduced by half an hour per
day during four months of 1906 and
1907, and during six months of succeed-
ing years. Some increases in wages are
also provided for.

The collieries throughout the anthra-

capacity until next April. A number of
washeries in the Schuylkill field that have
been closed down resumed operations on
February 5 on full time. The companies
expect to add 3,000,000 tons of coal to
their storage stock in the next few wicks.
Five hundred members of Typograph-

As they are on strike, they estimated they
might save the $1000 fine assessed against
the Union by Judge Iloldom if they were
permitted to work out the amount in
prison. The plan was found to be legally
impracticable.

Domestic and Naval,
Stephen Decatur, greatgrandson of
Commodore Decatur, was recently dis-
missed from the Naval Academy for
hazing.
The United States armored cruiser
Tennessee left Cramps' shipyards, at
Philadelphia, Pa., on February 1, for the
Government trial trip off the coast of
Maine.
The five-masted Boston schooner Fan-
nie Palmer, ashore on the Virginia coast,
is a total loss. She went ashore on the
site of a former forest and old tree
stumps drove holes in her bottom.
The steamer named the Merida, built
for the New York and Cuban Mail
Steamship Company was launched from
Cramps' shipyard at Philadelphia. Pa.,
on January 25.
Seven buildings connected with the
Pnited States naval training station at
Coastop Harbor Island, Newport, R. I.,
were destroyed by fire on January 28,
causing an estimated loss of $100,000.
The Board of Construction of the
United States Navy lias almost decided
to recommend the installation of turbine
engines on board the South Carolina and
the .Michigan, the two new battleships
now being designed.
George Blackburn, of the Brigantine
Life-Saving crew, has made public his
logbook account of the rescue of the pas-
sengers and crew of the steamer Cher-
okee, asking for the credit due him and
his mates, "without taking any praise
from Captain Casto and his men of the
Alberta. ' '
The three-masted schooner Abbie Bow-
ker, 182 tons net register, owned by H.
J. Bradley, of Philadelphia, Pa., has
been sold to the Dunn & Elliott Com-
pany, of Thomaston, Me., and will be
placed in the general coastwise trade.
The Bowker was built in 1890 at Phipps-
burg., Me., by T. Bowker, and is 104.7
feet long, 29.0 feet beam and 8.6 feet
draft.
The steamer Parthian, of the Boston
and Philadelphia, Pa., line, which has
been plying between Philadelphia and
Providence, sailed from the latter port re-
cently for Boston to replace the lost
steamer Trojan, sunk in collision by the
steamer Nacoochee. The Aries, which
has been tied up at Philadelphia, will
probably replace the Parthian on the
Providence route.
The new lighthouse at the entrance to
Bahia Blanca estuary, with a light of
the third order, was inaugurated on Jan-
uary 1. The tower of the lighthouse is
of steel, 66.55 metres in height. The
lamp, which is petroleum incandescent,
gives a flashing white light every five
seconds, visible all around the horizon for
twenty-four miles, and in ordinary
weather for forty-five miles.
Sir Thomas Lipton will not discuss at
present his plans to challenge for the
America's Cup in 1907. lie points out
that under the rules it is not necessary
lo challenge until the fall of this year,
and until then he will probably not say
what his proposals are. It is understood,
however, that Alfred Milne, of Glasgow,
Scotland, will design the challenger, and
that the Dennvs, of Dumbarton, will build
the yacht.
At the suggestion of the Shipping
Federation a committee, composed of
masters of the largest steamers visiting
the poll of Antwerp and of pilots, has
l)i-( n carefully examining the question of
the lighting of the River Scheldt, and
proposed seventeen new gas buoys, which
would enable the ships of the Red Star,
North German Lloyd and Hamburg-
American lines to navigate after dark.
The proposed improvement has been sub-
mitted to the higher authorities, and it
is expected it will be carried out. At
night time vessels of from 500 to 600 feet
in length and with a draught of more
than '!') feet can not come up in safety
owing to inefficient lighting.

THREATENED REPEAL OF CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
A BILL, introduced in Congress on January 24, 1906, by Representative Foster, of Vermont, and known as "H. R. 12973,"
proposes the practical repeal of the CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT, besides placing the United States in the position of grant-
ing to the CHINESE GOVERNMENT the absolute and exclusive authority to direct the admission to the United States of
all Chinese persons.
We are opposed to the passage of the Foster bill, upon the following grounds :
1.— It reverses the present policy of Chinese Exclusion by admitting "ALL CHINESE PERSONS OTHER THAN
LABORERS."
2. — It defines the words "laborer" or "laborers" in such a way as to embrace only certain classes of labor, thus admit-
ting all other classes of labor.
3.— It provides that "ALL PERSONS OTHER THAN LABORERS shall be entitled to entrance into and residence in
the United States upon the presentation of a passport or certificate ISSUED BY THE OFFICER DULY AUTHORIZED
THEREFOR BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CHINA."
4. — It provides for appeals to the courts and releases on bail, with the consequent certainty that many ineligible Chinese
will escape deportation.
5. — It provides for the issuance by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor of permits to land upon a mere oral statement
on the part of the Chinese person seeking admittance to the United States.
6.— IT IS A DISTINCT RELINQUISHMENT OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE UNITED STATES, THUS HU-
MILIATING THE NATION IN THE EYES OF ITS OWN PEOPLE AND OF THE WHOLE WORLD.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
French Ship Subsidies.
The French Chamber of Deputies has been
discussing for some months the decadence of
the French shipping trade, and, according to
Biard d'Aunet in L'Economiste Francais
(Paris), legislative measures are to be taken
to encourage ship-building and the foreign
trade of France. Since 1881 subsidies have
been paid by the Government to French ship-
builders and shipowners, and the system of
subsidies was remodeled in 1893 and 1902, we
are told, but it has not proved successful in
producing the desired result. Sine. 1SS1,
$76,000,000 have been spent on these bonuses.
The writer says that a commission has been
appointed to inquire into the cause of this
decline in French shipping. To quote:
"The detailed, report passed in by Mr.
Pierre Baudin, in the name of the commission,
gives very precise information on the sub-
ject. For a long time the French merchant
marine held the second place among the pow-
ers of Europe — that is to say, after England.
In 1886 we became third on the list, and now
we are fifth, and the development of Italian
shipping threatens to thrust us down very
soon to the sixth place. It appears that only
18 per cent of the ships which sail from
French harbors for foreign ports fly the
French flag; 82 per cent belong to other na-
tions. Yet when the bonuses were firsl granted
French vessels formed 33 per cent of the mer-
cantile marine in our harbors. The decrease
seems to have gone on rapidly as the bonuses
were increased. We may notice that in Ger-
man ports the national flag is flown by 51 per
cent of the foreign going ships, and in English
harbors 73 per cent of the ships fly the Onion
Jack. The ocean traffic of our harbors has
increased within the last twenty years by from
12,000,000 to 18,000,000 of tonnage, yet for-
eign shipping agents have alone been bene-
fited by this increase. French commerce,
moreover, pays annually $50,00(1.000 in freight
charges to foreign vessels."
He proceeds to consider the causes of this
rapid decline in French shipping. One of
them is that French harbors are, fur the most
part, ill adapted to the large ships required in
modern commerce; secondly, shipbuilding is
more expensive in France than in other coun-
tries where coal and iron are more abundant
In his own words:
"These two obstacles — and they are the only
real causes of the condition of things are not
insurmountable. The inferiority of our har-
bors is certainly due to our own want of fore-
sight. We can only, therefore, consider the
second difficulty, that is, the supply of metal
and fuel for the construction and propulsion
of ships. Serious as this difficulty is, it is not
insuperable. Our shipyards produce ships
for foreign countries, and we regularly ex-
port large constructions in steel and iron, as
well as shipping and machinery for the serv-
ice of harbors, canals and rivers."
He does not advocate cutting off the sub-
sidies, but would regulate them in such a way
that they would encourage the building and
operation of sufficient French merchant ships
to supply the needs of the French colonies,
as well as the importing business for French
trade, such as is carried on at present by for-
eign vessels.
While quoting a French statesman who says
that the use of subsidies in encouraging trade
and manufactures is like morphine injections,
which in order to give relief require an in-
creased dose every time, he illustrates this by
commenting on Mr. Baudin 's report as fol-
lows:
"In 1881 the treasury paid $160,000 in
bonuses to merchant marine; ten years later.
in 1891, it paid $2,000,000; ten years subse-
quently, in 1901, the annual expenditure rose
to $5,200,000; in 1904 it reached $8,000,000.
A remedy so costly is not desirable unless it
removes the evil against which it is directed.
The experience of 25 years proved that the
bonus as at present distributed has acted just
contrary to the end aimed at."
.Mr. d'Aunet points out as follows the best
way in which bonuses may be given or < i
muted so as to put the shipbuilding and sail-
ing business of the country on a more flour-
ishing basis:
""Two rules ought to be observed by the
State when it employs the resources of the
Budget for the subvention of any particular
industry. The first requisite is thai encour-
agement thus given should promise to be ef-
ficacious, and the aid be as far as possible
proportionate to the services rendered. The
second requisite is that the Governmenl aid be
accorded in a shape most likely to give satis
faction to the most important interests con-
cerned. The distribution of bonuses so far.
and as it is proposed to continue them in the
future, has not been in accordance with these
two rules. Experience has shown that marine
bonuses have been ineffectual. It is plainly
sen from the laws of 1881, 1893 and L902
that no account is taken of the services ren-
dered by the vessels receiving the premium.
They may have carried French or foreign
freights, or carried none, yet each receives a
bonus and the same bonus, which is made
proportionate to their tonnage. Even when
the tonnage is not used, the bonus is paid in
accordance with the number of miles sailed in
ballast."
He considers that this anomaly ought to be
corrected, and in answering the question
whether the present law "gives satisfaction
to the most important interests concerned."
he dwells upon the necessity of using the
bonus as a means of promoting Franch com-
merce, and not the commerce of other coun-
tries. He observes:
"From what we have said above we are
forced to the conclusion that the bonus laws
so far existing have lost, Bight of the most im-
portant interests at stake. The promotion of
French commerce has been practically over-
looked by them. It seems as if the lawmakers
considered shipbuilding and freight-carrying
as industries utterly independent of com-
merce, while as a matter of fact they are
merely its instruments. A law to foster the
merchant marine by bonuses, by favorable
taxation, ought to be a law for the promotion
of commerce, and should be justified and dic-
tated by considerations primarily commercial.
It is probably because these considerations
have been lost siuhl of in Ihe laws so far made
in this matter that such poor results have
been produced by them. . . . What
we particularly need to raise our merchant
marine promptly is Government dockyards
for the use of private enterprise, and a bonus
on the transport of merchandise, in proportion
to the value of the cargo and the distance it
is carried, with an extra bonus when a vessel
carries goods from or to a French port."

Germany, reports that according to a r<
article in a German newspaper the Japanese
Government has recently granted a subsidy to
a Japanese-South American steamship line,
which plies between Japan and Buenos Ayres,
Argentina. The object of this is to increase
the imports of wool, flour, and wheat from
Argentina, which products are chiefly needed
and desired for Japan's army and marines.
An English newspaper also reports on a sim-
ilar matter, and remarks: "The scheme,
which has been under consideration for some
time, for the immigration of Japanese work-
men to Brazil and the creation for that pur-
pose of a direct Japanese steamship service to
Santos and Rio de Janeiro is about to be real-
ized. Two special commissioners of the Jap-
anese Government are now examining, on
the spot, the proposal of establishing a Japan-
ese bank at Bio de Janeiro." The same Eng-
lish newspaper also reports that "a syndicate
of several banks and commercial firms in Bre-
men has, in connection with the shipping firm
Horn, of Schleswig and Lubeck, formed a new
steamship company under the name of the
Roland Line, to carry on a direct service be-
tween Bremen and the west coast id' South
America The formal constitution of the new
company will take place in the course of this
month."
United States Consul-General Guenther, of
Frankfort, writes that it is reported from
Bremen that two new steamship companies
have been formed at Bremen, with an aggre-
gate capital of 15,000,000 marks. One of the
companies, the Roland Line, whose capital is
9,000,000 marks, will run directly to Chile
and Peru and will be of great importance to
Bremen, as heretofore that port had no regu-
lar steamer service to the west coast id' Amer-
ica. The other company. Midgard, will have
docks at Mondenham, where it has purchased
dock facilities from the government of Olden-
bin- for $300,000.
A private telegram from Hamburg to the
Frankfurter Zeitung states that the result of
the conferences of the Hamburg shippers for
the purpose of meeting competition of Bremen
are just being published. Systematic efforts
in competition by Bremen are shown in the es-
tablishment, by the North-German* Lloyd, of
the Australian and Java line to compete with
the Hamburg-Australian line, also in the Bre-
men Atlas line in competition with the Ham-
bur- Levant line and "in the establishment of
the Bremen Roland line to compete with the
Cosmos line. The latter retaliates now with
lines from Bremen to New York and Balti-
more, and has petitioned the Chancellor of the
Empire for a concession 1<> carry on an emi-

On the Atlantic Coast.

Growth of the Windjammer.
News comes from Europe that the "biggest
sailing ship in the world" was launched at
Bremerhaven, Germany, on February 8. The
new vessel, according to the cabled descrip-
tion, is a square-rigged, five-master, 438 feet
length over all, 54 feet beam, and of 8,000 tons
burden.
This news brings to mind the fact that the
genesis of the modern-built leviathan wind-
jammer of many sticks and kites dates hack
only a little over two decades. Thirty years
ago the largest sailing vessel in the world was
the three-masted, square-rigged, American
wooden ship, The Three Brothers, a flush-
decked vessel, about 340 feet length over all,
and registering a little more than 2,800 tons.
To-day there are hundreds of schooner-rigged
sailing vessels in our coastwise and Lake trades
which, to use an old forecastle hyperbole,
could carry The Three Brothers on their davits.
This phenomenal growth in the size of sailing
vessels, and also in the number of their masts,
in such a comparatively short space of time,
impresses no one so forcibly as the seaman
who began his career before, or just as, the
change to the multi-masted, overgrown wind-
jammers of this generation took place. The
present writer well remembers the first square-
rigged, four-masted sailing ship he ever saw.
It was in the early Eighties, on board the old
Rio packet Newlight, then on a voyage from
Baltimore to Rio Janeiro with a cargo of flour,
and chartered to carry coffee back to Balti-
more. We had just got inside the Northeast
Trade belt, and were going along on the port
tack with the wind just about a point or so
free, everything set that would draw, making
nine or ten knots an hour. Shortly aftei
two-bells in the forenoon watch, just as we
of the watch below were preparing to turn
into our bunks after having eaten breakfast,
a chap on deck came running to the forecastle
door and hollered :
"Hey, there; come up on deck, boys, and-
take a look at this four-master coming up on
the lee bow."
Four-master ! If he had reported the Sea
Serpent he could hardly have startled us more.
Sleep was forgotten as all hands jumped out
on deck, helter-skelter, barefooted and in their
underwear. And there she was, sure enough,,
about two points on our lee bow, a four-mast-
ed, square-rigger, standing on the starboard
tack, with everything set the same as our-
selves, but seemingly making worse weather
of it. As the stranger had the right of way
we kept off just a little to allow her to
pass just to windward of us, and as she did
so she came close enough for us to make out
that she was the John O 'Gaunt, of Glasgow.
The consensus of opinion among the crowd
was, however, that she did not look nearly as
shipshape as the general run of three-masted
ships, and this opinion is probably shared to
this day by every sailorman who remembers
the stately packets that sailed the seas thirty
years ago.
About the time that we sighted the John
O 'Gaunt, the shipyards on the Clyde got busy
turning out an enormous number of large sail-
ing vessels, and in the years that followed the
four-masters became quite common.
Most of those were square-rigged only on
the fore, main and mizzen masts, and I'ore-and
aft rigged on the jigger mast. This class of
vessels was listed at Lloyd's as a "shipen-
tine," but the name, for some reason, never
found a place in the vocabulary of seamen.
It was not until the Nineties, however, that the
five-masted square-rigger made her appear-
ance. Among the first in that class were the
German ships Potosi and Preussen, two mon-
sters which greatly exceeded in size and sail
area anything then or since afloat. These ships
were built for the saltpeter trade between
Hamburg and Iquique, and on account of
their tremendous size could be driven in a
strong breeze at a speed which only an "ocean
greyhound" can attain. Both the Potosi and
the Preussen have made the passage from
Hamburg to Iquique in fifty-seven days, an
average of 197 miles a day.
Curiously enough, the first four-masted
schooner was launched about the time that the
first four-masted square-rigger slid off the
stocks, and the advent of the first five-masted
schooner also corresponded with the advent of
the first five-masted square rigger. But, here
the parallel ceases; for while the square-
rigger has never advanced beyond the five-
masted stage, the schooner has already reach-
ed the seven-stick class in the Thomas W. Law-
son. It is hardly likely that the number of
masts now in vogue will be increased, either
on schooners or square-riggers. For one thing,
even with their steam donkeys, the modern
multi-masters are almost unmanageable in bad
weather. For another thing, their great draft
prevents them from entering any but the larg-
est ports, and as few ports in the world can
accommodate vessels drawing so much water
as do these craft, it is not probable that any
increase in their size will be attempted.
A private in the second regiment of the
United States Marine Corps has written all
the way from Olongapo, P. I., to the New York
Herald to register a kick against the abuses
connected with the service in general, and his
own regiment in particular. After enumerat-
ing the various grievances of himself and his
mates, he puts a large part of the blame on
the better halves of the officers in command.
These ladies, he avers, just to drive dull care
away and to amuse their babies, induce their
husbands to drill the marines at unseasonable
hours and to put them through fancy man-
euvers and the latest pas de militaire. Final-
ly he quotes verbatim a great portion of an
article which appeared in this department of
the Journal some months ago, under the cap-
tion, "The Man Behind the Gun," in which
the present writer commented upon the mark-
ed reluctance of young men to enlist, in the
Marine Corps. Tins serves to show the exten-
sive circulation, geographically considered,
which the Journal enjoys, a circulation ex-
ceeded by but few publications in the world,
and certainly not equalled by any other labor
paper. Every shot fired in these columns is
"heard 'round the world."
The insurance investigation may now safe-
ly be added to that long list of investigations,
each of which for the time being contributed
to the gayety of the nation and furnished an
abundance of copy for the newspapers bu1
was as barren of results as an average "re-
form administration" is of reforms. But,
"mundus vult decipi"!
Fag Ends.
Discretion is certainly the better part of
valor when contemplating a trip on one of
our modern flimsy, inflammable excursion
steamers. As a worthy successor to the now
defunct slogan, "Remember the Maine!"
nothing could be more apropos than "He-
member the Slocum!"
True to the mania, for dress and fashion
characteristic of the age, the admirers of
Colonel W. J. Bryan are already anticipating
the pleasure of beholding their hero dressed
in a Datto uniform. If he should ever ap-
pear in public in that uniform Mr. Comstock
will surely get busy, for (unless the fashions
have changed since the present writer was a
beachcomber in that part of the world) the
Datto uniform on state occasions consists
chiefly of a rather abbreviated ratskin apron
in front, and a bunch of spears behind. On
ordinary occasions the uniform — well, er,
really, there is nothing to it.
A facetious comment was made in this de-
partment of the Journal some months ago on
the incongruity between the name of Bona-
parte and things naval in general. Now
comes news from Washington that Secretary
Bonaparte, of the Navy Department, will be
transferred to the post of Attorney-General
because he "has not been considered a suc-
cessful Secretary of the Navy," and it is sig-
nificantly added that "comment in this con-
nection is made on the fact that Napoleon
Bonaparte's failures prior to Waterloo were
made almost exclusively in connection with
the French navy." All of which brings to
mind the old topsail-halyard chanty :
Old Bonny was a warrior —
To me way — heigh — ho ;
But we licked him at Trafalgar —
John Francois.
"One Cantonese coolie is worth two Ja-
maica negroes working on the Isthmus," s;iys
Chief Engineer Stevens, of the Panama Canal
Commission. Why, yes; Jamaica negroes can
not be forced to work thirteen hours a day, or
be driven with a stick, or fed on rice and
salt fish, or be chained up like wild animals
in a bullpen at night when the day's work is
done, as are the Cantonese coolies employed
in South Africa. These facts constitute the
real "nigger in the woodpile" in the Panama
Canal Commission's labor problem.
Now that the British have an "Aliens
Act" and are enforcing it in earnest, it will
be interesting to learn what the Eliots and
Carnegies among us have to say about the
"inhumanity" of our "kin across the sea" in
thus "shutting the door of opportunity"
against "the oppressed citizens of nations less
favored than ours," etc. At the outset, thej
are estopped from charging it up to "irre-
sponsible demagogy," for Great Britain is
admitted upon all hands to have a much
more "safe, sane and conservative" govern-
ment than we have. Perhaps they will take
the Hon. Joseph Chamberlain's view id' it.
and blame our Protective tariff.
The "insurance scandal" is now, in the lan-
guage of the corps diplomatique, "a closed
incident." Next!

Tlio bill for ;i Life-Saving Station at Halfmoon
Bay, Cal., has passed the United States Senate.
The steamer Pennsylvania, recently purchased for
service on the Coast, arrived at Rio de la flat a on
February 1-'!, en route from Philadelphia.
The British ship Sierra Lucena, out 111 days from
Blakeley, 'Wash., for Melbourne, Australia, and quoted
the past few days in the reinsurance market at 10 per
cent., is reported to have arrived at her destination.
News comes from Boston that the American ship
Henry B. Hyde, which went ashore on the New Eng-
land coast some months ago, is to be blown up by
dynamite to secure her masts, which are intact.
The revenue cutter Rush, which was sent out to
search for the lost steamer Dora, has wired tin- Seattle
Custom-house from Seaward that the officers of the
cutter had been unable to obtain news of the lost
vessel.
The schooner David Evans, of San Francisco, which
put into Hongkong on February 5, with her chronome-
ter out of order, while bound from Puget Sound to
Manila, P. I., resumed her voyage on the following
day.
The new steam-schooner Yoscmitc arrived at San
Francisco on February ll from Eureka in tow of the
tug Dauntless, and will have her engines installed at
the formei port. The Yosemite will be operated by C.
R. McCormick.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on February IS: British bark Drumciaig,
150 days from Astoria for Manila, 90 per cent. Brit-
ish bark Daylight, 17i* days from New York for Yok-
kuichi, Japan, 8 per cent.
Superintendent Kimball of the Life-Saving Service,
lias notified Senator Perkins, of California, that as
soon as funds are on hand telephonic connection will
be provided between Willapa and Gray's Harbor Life-
Saving Station and the mainland.
The overdue British ship Pass of P.almaha, 1(53 days
nut from Montevideo for Salinas Cruz, was reported
on February 15 as having arrived at her destination.
A rate of 40 per cent was quoted upon the vessel, but
there was little or no speculation.
Having advanced to a rate of 90 per cent on the
overdue list, the four-masted British ship Drunicraig
is generallv supposed to have been lost. The Druni-
craig sailed from Portland, Or., on September 2'J for
Manila, P. I., and has not since been heard of.
The president of the Union Iron Works, of San
Francisco, recently appeared before the House Claims
Committee in favor of the bill carrying $2,500,000 to
reimburse shipyards for losses sustained by building
torpedo vessels, including the San Francisco firm.
The Dominion Marine Department lias ordered a
lifeboat to be shipped to Victoria, P. C., for the equip-
ment of a life-saving station for the Vancouver Island
coast. Another lifeboat will be built, ami arrange-
ments will be made to have the wrecking steamer
Salvor carry modern lifeboats.
After a fast trip of sixty days from Antwerp, the
new freight steamer Bessie Uoliar, built at Port Glas-
gow for the Dollar Steamship Company of San Fran-
Cisco, arrived at the latter port on February 14, under
command of Captain Cow, and laden with a cargo of
5,975 tons of freight, of which more than 5,UUU tons
is cement.
The steamer Roanoke, under command of Captain
B. J. Dunham, sailed from San Francisco on February
1U for Eureka, Coos Pay and Portland, alter having
been repaired, following the loss of rudder and ruu-
der-post as a result of striking on Humboldt bar on
.November 27. The Roanoke was converted into an
oil-burner during her enforced idleness in port.
A persistent rumor is being circulated in railroad
and steamship circles to the effect that James J. Hill,
of the Great Northern Railroad, has it in mind to
place a line of steamers in service very shortly be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu, entering into com-
petition with the Pacific Mail and the Oceanic steam-
ship companies.
The British ship Pardowie, Captain Suiter, lately on
the overdue list, arrived at San Francisco on Febru-
ary 15, olil days from Newcastle, Eng., and 178 days
from Cape Town, with a cargo of merchandise. The
Bardowio put into I lie latter port in distress and re-
mained there for a month making repairs.
Fortj one ,,i the Valencia victims nave now been re-
covered from the sea. L'wo more bodies, both badly
decomposed and unidentified, were picked up on Feb-
ruary 9 at the scene of the wreck. 1 hey were I ed
where they were found. Eight unidentified bodies were
buried at Victoria, B. C, on the same day. Bishop
Perriu of the Anglican Cathedral read the burial serv-
ice.
After an overland journey of six months, Corporal
Monroe, of the Northwest Mounted Police, has arrived
at Edmonton, having made the trip from Eerschel
Island, on the Arctic ocean. Monroe says there are
ten ships imprisoned in the ice at Point Harrow, with
44b' persons, including several women, aboard, and thai
there is grave danger of serious mortality among these
people.
Favorable reports were made on February 14 by the
House Committees on Needham's bill making Monte
rey and San Luis Obispo BubportS Of entry and Kahn 's
bills providing for the hearing of claims of
the American sealers bj the Court of Appeals
of the Ninth Circuit and authorizing bonded and
manufacturing warehouses to sell supplies to foreign
war vessels.
News was received at San Francisco on February 9
that tlie American ship General Fairchild had reached
the Isthmus of Panama, her destination, after a long
passage of ninety-seven days from Puget Sound. It
was feared that the old vessel, which carried a cargo
of lumber, had perhaps been lost in storms oil' the
Coasl a month or more ago. The cargo of lumber is
intended for use in Canal construction at the Isthmus.
Japanese fishermen arc the special target at which
I lie ( ashman bill to prevent aliens from fishing in
Alaskan waters is aimed. Representative Cushman ap-
peared before the House Committee on Territories on
February 12 in support of this bill, and stated thai
the Japanese are so near to Alaskan waters, and so
extensively engaged in fishing, that some law to check
their activity is required.
The steamer Centennial is reported to have arrived
at Hakodate, Japan, from "Vladivostok, on her way
back to San Francisco. The Centennial, under com-
mand of Captain Gilboy, sailed from the latter port
some months ago with a cargo of merchandise for the
Siberian coast, and reached her destination without mis-
hap. Later, however, the steamer was caught in the
ice at Vladivostok, and she remained there until re-
cently.
Upon the conclusion of the diplomatic exchanges
between Great Britain and the United States with re-
spect to the Newfoundland fisheries case, which are
proceeding slowly, it is probable that negotiations will
be opened looking to a more satisfactory settlement of
the Pacific sealing question. When the seals again
become the subject of formal negotiations Japan will
be one of the parties, and Russia also will probably
participate. As on previous occasions, the Canadian
pelagic sealers will be the chief obstacle to a self le-
nient, but the diplomats hope for a solution.
A new overdue was listed at San Francisco on Feb-
ruary 16, the British bark Daylight of the Standard
Oil Company's fleet being posted as overdue on the
way from New York for Yokkaichi, Japan, with a
cargo of oil. The vessel, a very large and modern one
of her rig, is now out 180 days, and a rate of 8 per
cent is quoted for reinsurance. Speculators, knowing
the fine equipment of the Standard Oil vessels for fire-
fighting, and their generally good condition, believe
that the Daylight will arrive safely at her destination.
The Occidental and Oriental liaer Coptic, now at
Hongkong, is to make two more trips to the Orient
before being sent back to the White Star Company at
Liverpool. For years past the Coptic litis been operat-
ed between San Francisco and Hongkong, under char-
ter, along with the Gaelic and Doric, also of the White
Star fleet. The Gaelic was sent home to Liverpool a
year ago, having outlived her usefulness, and now the
Coptic is to follow her, leaving San Francisco on dune
19. She will be turned over to the White Star Steam-
ship Company at Hongkong upon her arrival there on
July 21.
The steamer George W. Elder, which Wrecking Mas-
ter H. W. Baker, of Djtroit, Mich., will raise from the
Columbia River, about forty miles from Portland, Or.,
is resting on a rock, which sticks up s'x or seven feet
through her bottom. For a distance of seventy-four
feet forward there is sixty-five feet of water under the
vessel. The Elder was owned by the O. R. & N. Com-
pany when she was wrecked, a little more than a year
ago. .She has a very sharp list, and the insurance peo-
ple, to whom she was abandoned, are said to have spent
$51,000 trying to get her off. She is now owned by
J. II. Peterson. Captain Baker will give his carload
of material ten days' start and will then leave Detroit
with three divers and I luce tenders. He expects to
deliver the steamer at the Portland drydock in about
three weeks after actual work begins.

With the termination of the Amsterdam
diamond workers' strike of 1904, and the rid-
dance of all the unpleasant factors to which
it gave birth, the year 1905 started in tinder
very promising conditions. The new sched-
ules of the workmen's wages, which went into
effect at the beginning of the*presen1 year, are
almost forgotten and simply exist in word
only, as since that time manufacturers have
been compelled to raise their employees'
wages again and again in order to get their
goods out as fast as possible. It no longer
seems to be a question of wages, but a ques-
tion of production of goods, which have be-
come a very scarce article indeed.
With the beginning of the new year buyers
from every part of the globe have come here
in order to supply their demands, and this in-
flux has kept up to the present time. From
every country orders are received daily, which
cannot receive any attention until previous
orders have been filled. All the factories are
working to their utmost capacity in order to
supply their clients, as invariably the goods
are bought up in the rough long before they
are finished. Especially in small goods have
the workmen's wages brought about such a
change during the last eight months that the
goods deserve extra mention, prices in some
instances having increased as much as 40 per
cent. Strange as it may seem, even these
goods are conspicuous by their absence, and
are readily bought tip at higher figures when-
ever shown.
The steady demand for the rough as well
as the cut material finally culminated in the
advance of all rough goods of about 5 per
cent toward the end of August by the London
syndicate, but even this advance failed to
stop the tide of the ever-increasing amount of
orders which came pouring into Amsterdam.
Today there are again rumors in the air of
prospective rises, but only the future will tell
whether these reports are well founded or
not.

The development of the people generally
and the consequences of increased trade have
brought about substantial increases in the mat-
ter of wages, and the whole empire today is
enjoying a prosperity in this line greater
than it has ever known, lint even with the
material advances that have been noted dur-
ing the past few years, the pay of the average
workingman is but a small percentage of what
their more fortunate American brothers re-
ceive. The simpler mode of living, the few
necessities, and the relative cheapness of
foodstuffs and clothing are the principal fac-
tors in this equation. Following is a table
giving the daily average wage (in United
States currency) :

PROTEST AC A INST FOSTER BILL!
I'he matter printed on page 1 of this issue
is a reproduction of the circular issued by the
Japanese and Korean Exclusion League, of
San Francisco, with the object of affording
every individual citizen a simple means of reg-
istering his protest against the Foster bill.
The Journal requests its readers to fill out
the blank and forward it to Washington,
D. C. Thus, with the co-operation of the labor
movement and the labor press of the country,
and with a very small personal effort on the
part of the individual, a protest may be regis-
tered in sufficient volume to compel respect
and, wherever necessary, inspire fear. The
personally-signed protests, personally received
by the Representatives and Senators in the
form of so many "letters from home," should
have more weight than would an equal num-
ber of signatures presented in the usual style
of petition, with the added advantage of being
more quickly and more directly available to
those interested in learning the sentiments of
the people. The distribution already given
the Exclusion League's circular affords assur-
ance that the largest protest ever made
against any measure will be registered againsl
the Poster bill within the next few weeks.
Again we urge our readers to do their individ-
ual best to bring about this desirable result.
Fill out the blank on page 1, and do it now,
not to-morrow or next day; then mail in a
sealed envelope. Two minutes time and two
cents postage will suffice for the purpose im-
mediately in view.
We are convinced that our readers will con-
sider it a pleasure as well as a duty to register
themselves against the threatened repeal of
the Chinese Exclusion Act and all that that
fatal step would mean to the people of the
West and, indeed, to the people of the whole
country. The Chinese Exclusion Act alone
has made it possible for the white race to re-
main in California; without that Act, the glor-
ious Golden State, by nature the richest and
most beautiful State in the Union, would to-
day be a province or colony of China. If the
Foster bill be passed, the American people
may as well change the color of one star — nay,
of several stars — in the galaxy of States, for
California and her sisters to the north, south
and east will become yellow States in fact. It
may be said that there is little danger that the
Foster bill will pass. This view may be cor-
rect, but it actually suggests a still greater
danger, namely, that certain "modifications"
will be passed, which, in effect, will accom-
plish all the harm that the Foster bill itself
could work. Indeed, it is more than likely
that the latter is designed merely as a diver-
sion, a scheme to cover the real objective of
the pro-Chinese advocates. It is therefore ab-
solutely necessary that, in addition to protest-
ing against the Foster bill, an imperative de-
mand shall be made for the maintenance of
the present Chinese Exclusion Act. The coun-
try is now confronted with a great crisis. It
is up to the American people to declare them-
selves in tones that will be heard and heeded.
ATLANTIC SEAMEN ACT ON BILLS.
The Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union, in its
meeting at headquarters. Boston, Mass., on
February ">. adopted resolutions urging the
passage by Congress of the Goulden bill (IT.
R. 12472), providing for the better manning
of passenger steamers. The resolutions are as
follows :
Whereas, The Commission appointed l>y the Presi-
dent of the United states to leek into the causes of
the Slocum disaster reported that it was caused by the
facl that the vessel's crew was inefficient and insuffi-
cient in numbers; and
Whereas, Since then there lias 1 a no improvement
in the crews of passenger steamers, or any legislation
to compel such improvement; and
Whereas, Representative Goulden, of New York, who
was on the Coroner's Jury that sat on the Slocum 's
dead, and therefore had exceptional opportunities to
ascertain the real facts and locate the real causes of
said disaster, has introduced a bill in Congress, known
as H. R. 12472, providing for a standard of skill and
experience in men employed as seamen on passenger
steamers; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union, at
Boston, Mass., that we indorse H. R. 12472, and urge
its speedy passage by Congress; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sent to
the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries of
the House, and to all the Representatives in Congress
from this State.
At the same meeting another set of resolu-
tions was adopted, indorsing the bill (II.
329) now pending in the Massachusetts Leg-
islature, providing for the repeal of the State
law which makes it an offense to "persuade
or assist" a seaman to leave his vessel, said
law being in direct conflict with the Tinted
States law, which guarantees the seaman the
right to leave his vessel in any port of the
United States or near-by foreign country. The
resolutions read as follows:
Whereas. The laws of the United States and of Mas
sachusetts recognize the seamen's right to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness so far as our coastwise
trade is concerned, and only subject seamen to for-
feiture of wages for the violation of a civil contract
to labor; and
Whereas, There is at present on the statute books of
Massachusetts a law that forbids any one, under pen-
alty of imprisonment, to persuade or attempt to per'
suade, or assist or attempt to assist, a seaman to have
his vessel before the expiration of his contract; and
Whereas, There is no similar law affecting other
w.irkingmen; and
Whereas, There has been a bill introduced in the
Legislature of this Commonwealth, known as H. 329,
to repeal the aforesaid antiquated law ; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union, at
Bo3ton, Mass., that we hereby indorse H. 329, and urge
upon the Legislature of Massachusetts to enact the
same into law; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sent
to the Committee on Probate and < hancery and to the
Speaker of the House.
The New York agency of the Atlantic Coast
Seamen's Union, at its meeting on February
5, acted on the Ship Subsidy bill, by the adop-
tion of the following resolutions :
Whereas, The Senate is about to vote on the Sub-
sidy bill; therefore be it
Resolved, That we win. are seeking to make a living
by going to sea do hereby enter our respectful protest
against this measure on the grounds that, .
1. This hill will compel us to join the Naval Re-
serves in order to get employment on one of these sub-
sidized vessels.
2. It establishes a system of industrial passport
which will be used to blacklist those among us who,
as yet, are willing to forego prospects of advancement
by insisting upon better conditions.
3. It makes us subject to being called upon to serve
in war against our will, and tor practically our entire
life as seamen.
4 It makes of us the unwilling dray-horses to carry
away plunder in which we are supposed to participate,
;it least to some extent.
5. It imposes upon us a subvention or bonus which
we never asked for, and against which we protest.
6. We have asked for freedom and reasonable inn
ditions so that we might help ourselves as best we
could to reasonable wages for honest work given to
those who employ us, and not for any bonus to be paid
by the people, who do not employ us.
We especially and respectfully urge that su
tions 3 and 6 of Section 3 be strieken out.
By the adoption of these resolutions the At-
lantic Coast Seamen have placed themselves
squarely on record on the questions involved.
The organized seamen of all classes and sec-
tions have declared themselves in similar
terms. If the practical experience of those
immediately concerned is worth anything in
the judgment of the lawmakers, the latter will
find little difficulty in determining their
course. Lacking, or ignoring, such a guide,
the lawmakers are confronted with a dilemma
each horn of which has its own peculiar dan-
gers. They must either vote for the aggran-
dizement of the shipowner, at the risk of in-
curring public criticism, or they must vote
against the shipowner, with the certainty of
being denounced as "unpatriotic." By voting
in accordance with the experience and judg-
ment of the seamen, the lawmakers will serve
the legitimate interests of all parties — seamen,
shipowners and public — without sacrificing
those of either party.
Secret Service Agent R. H. Taylor, who has
been engaged for some time past in prosecut-
ing cases of Naturalization frauds among sea-
men on the Pacific Coast, has proved himself
over-zealous on more than one occasion, with
the result that he has been "brought up all
standing." The case of Captain John Nor-
berg is an instance of this. When the steam-
schooner W. H. Kruger, commanded by Cap-
tain Norberg, was wrecked on the Mendocino
coast on January 12, Mr. Taylor announced
in the press that the wreck was caused by
Captain Norberg 's incompetency. When the
Local Inspectors acted in the matter a differ-
ent conclusion was arrived at. In short, the
Local Inspectors exonerated Captain Norberg
from all blame in connection with the loss of
the Kruger, upon the showing that the. latter
"used all possible means at his command to
prevent disaster." Secret Service Agent
Taylor should be warned that there is no nec-
essary connection between the questions of
seamanship and citizenship. In his attempt
to discredit the seaman by way of making a
case against the citizen, the Secret Service
man is certain to meet the fate of those who
butt into matters they know nothing about.
It is becoming quite apparent that Mr. Taylor
is more concerned to make a record for him-
self than to find the truth in the matter of
Naturalization frauds.
The Journal is in receipt of Volume XII
(1905) of the American Federationist, neatly
bound in two parts. These books form a valu-
able compilation of labor events of the year.
and as such are highly appreciated by this
office. The Federationist is a standard au-
thority among the American labor pn
position due mainly to the forthright editorial
work of President Gompers. We wish our
contemporary a long life of ever-increasing
power and usefulness.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
THE CANAL "SLAUGHTER-HOUSE."
The National Eight-Hour law is now a
thing of the past, so far as the Panama Canal
job is concerned. In the construction of the
big ditch the United States will leave at homo
its principles of the "dignity of labor" and
go to work on the Isthmus upon the basis of
cheap and servile labor. Just as historians
have told us that the great works of antiquity
were made possible only by slave labor, the
American statesmen of to-day tell us that the
Panama Canal can only be built by the same
means. It is a serious question whether, in
either case, the end justifies the means. Any-
way, the "slaughter-house," to quote the il-
lustration of Senator Patterson, of Colorado,
is now open for business. The laborers on
the Canal will be permitted to work as long
as they please, with the distinct understand-
ing that when they have worked for all they
are worth they shall "pass in their checks"
as quickly and as quietly as possible without
disturbing the equanimity of their benefac-
tors!
The most remarkable, not to say lamentable,
feature of this business consists in the argu-
ment made for the abrogation of the Eight-
Hour law on the Canal. Chairman Shonts,
of the Panama Canal Commission, submitted
that inasmuch as the laborers arc paid "by
the hour,'.' they would be benefited by an in-
crease in the length of the workday ! We have
already heard this contention ; it is, in fact,
the old contention, made against every move-
ment for a reduction in the daily hours of
labor. That contention is everywhere dis-
proved by the fact that the day's pay is low
in proportion as the day's work is long. If
men were really paid by the hour the oppo-
site rule would prevail. In simple truth, men
are everywhere paid by the day. The hourly
rate of wages is merely the daily rate divided
by so and so many for purposes of conveni-
ence in calculating broken time — that is, time
worked less than a day. Chairman Shonts
probably knows all this, and is merely adopt-
ing the sophistical and discreditable device
long ago invented as a means of making it
appear that the shorter workday movement is
an attempt to secure "nine hours' pay for
eight hours' work." In any event, the argu-
ment of Chairman Shonts and his supporters
in and out of Congressional and Administra-
tion circles, by its obvious, or at least im-
plied, ignorance of the commonest economic
law, is one of the most deplorable incidents
in a very deplorable proceeding.
A correspondent draws attention to the dis-
position of the daily press to print sensa-
tional stories concerning the probable fate of'
overdue vessels and of vessels that are not
overdue except in the imagination of the press
writers. The statement is made, backed by
the citation of a particular instance, that such
sensationalism results in much unnecessary
worry on the part of the relatives of those on
board the missirig | 1 1 vessels. There is much
foundation for this criticism. While the pub-
lic is often dependent upon the press for in-

No salaried public officer, professional politician,
lawyer or any one who is not a member of the trade
or calling he represents, and working at that trade or
calling, except those who have been taken from the
trade or calling to fill an official position in the or-
ganization which they represent or an official position
in any labor organization, shall be eligible as a dele-
gate to the Chicago Federation of Labor. No person
not a wage earner, though a member of a bona fide
labor union organization, shall be eligible as a dele-
gate.
The foregoing has been adopted as an
amendment to the Constitution of the Chicago
Federation of Labor. This measure is one of
the methods recently adopted by that body as
a means of rehabilitating it in the esteem and
confidence of the Chicago trade-unionists. The
meaning of the amendment is clear, and the
causes that have inspired it arc equally so.
The experience of the Chicago trade-unionists
in this respect affords a lesson which any and
every labor organization in the United States
may profit by.
The Sailors' Union of the Pacific will cele-
brate its twenty-first anniversary at San Fran-
cisco on March 6 by a torchlight parade and
literary exercises. The Union agencies on the
Coast will also honor the occasion by appro-
priate ceremonies. All the features that have
made the Sixth of March an event in the lives
of the organized seamen and their friends
will be duplicated, and surpassed, at the com-
ing celebration. As usual, Comrade Ed. An-
dersen, the Treasurer and oldest member of
the Union, will act as Grand Marshal of the
parade, thus insuring a good appearance in
line. The complete programme of the event
will be published in the Journal next week.
Meantime, all members in port, either at San
Francisco or at the agencies, shoidd prepare
to get into line for the honor and glory of the
old Union.
As predicted in these columns last week, the
Ship Subsidy bill passed the United States
Senate on February 14, after a lengthy de-
bate. The Seamen's proposals were defeated,
of course; but it is some consolation to know
that these were not entirely ignored. Indeed,
the main contention on the bill seems to have
centered on the question of its effect on the
personnel of the merchant marine. Led by
Senator Spooner, the Seamen's objections and
proposals were thoroughly thrashed out and
the Seamen's representatives duly denounced
with more or less Senatorial discourtesy. Next
week the Journal will print the proceedings
for the instruction and amusement of all con-
cerned.
Captain W. V. Carmichael, a long-time resi-
dent in China, will deliver a lecture in Lyric
Hall, San Francisco, on February 28. All
persons interested in learning the facts con-
cerning the present situation in China and its
bearings upon American affairs should avail
themselves of this opportunity to hear the
truth from the lips of "one who knows."

Superior Shipbuilding.
Tin' second of the two big steamers now un-
der course of construction at Superior, Wis..
the shipyards will be christened the Emil J.
Earling when she is launched this spring. The
steamer is building for H. H. Oakes, of De-
troit, and will be commanded by Captain D.
C. Sullivan of .Milwaukee, who is now in Su-
perior exercising general supervision over her
outfitting. The steamer is named after the
president of the Standard Coal Company,
Emil J. Earling.
The Earling will be almost an exact dupli-
cate of the Abraham Stearns, which it is ex-
pected will be launched this month. Her di-
mensions are: 545 feet over all; 525 feet keel ;
55 feet beam; 31 feet depth and 32 hatches
with 12 feet spaced centers. Her engines will
be 23 1-2x38x63 with 42-inch stroke. She will
have two boilers with a steam pressure of 180
pounds and her gross tonnage will be 10,000.
She is contracted to be launched and ready
for sea at the opening of navigation.
The construction of the Earling has not
gone forward very fast as yet as every effort
has been made at the yards to get the Stearns
ready for an early launching in order to get
the keel of the big 600-footer for the Cambria
Steel Company laid. It has been necessary
to neglect the Earling on this account but
from this time on work on her will be rushed
and she will soon take shape. The Stearns is
rapidly being got into shape for launching
and preparations for that event are already
under way.
The launching will take place some time
during the latter part of this month and as
'soon as the Stearns is off the waj's the keel
blocks for the Cambria Steel Company boat
will be laid and work started on her construc-
tion. A large amount of the material for her
construction is already at the yards and the
big crew of men will lose no time between
boats.
Something over 1,200 men are now employ-
ed at the Superior yards and the monthlj
pay roll amounts to about +50,000. This crew
will be kept busy until late in the summer this
year on account of the large amount of re-
pair work and the third steamer to be built.
The repair jobs now in the dock, the Corey
and England, are coming along nicely al-
though both are bigger jobs than at first esti-
mated.
The Dominion Transportation Commission
has made a report to the Government recom-
mending the naturalization of the Leading
ports of Canada and making them free from
all charges save those for drydoeks and eleva-
tors. The ports to which this applies are:
Port William, Port Arthur and Mission River.
on Lake Superior; Depot Harbor and Mid-
land on Georgian Bay; Port Colborne on Lake
Erie; Kingston, Montreal, Quebec, St. John,
Halifax. Sydney; Vancouver, Victoria, the
Pacific terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific
and the terminus of the Canadian Northern.
The Commission reports in favor of extending
the Intercolonial to Georgian Pay. which would
stimulate the. export trade from the ports of
St. John and Halifax. Important, improve-
ments are suggested in the harbors of Toronto
and Montreal.
Big "Winter Fleet.
Buffalo has a larger winter fleet than any
other port on the Lakes. There are 103
steamers and eleven schooners and barges laid
up there, and most of the vessels are large
steel freighters. Many Cleveland boats are
on the list. A number of large carriers are
still holding grain cargoes and others have
been loaded with coal to hold until spring.
The following boats are tied up at that port:

Winter Ore Shipment.
Samuel J. Mitchell, who has charge of the
exploratory work for Pickands, Mather & Co.,
of Cleveland, has just started a force of men
at work on the stock pile of the old Magnetic
mine, located about eight miles northwest of
Republic. In the neighborhood of 1,000 tons
of the lean ore will be removed from the stock
pile and carted into Republic, whence it will
be shipped by rail to Escanaba, where it will
be held for Lake shipment until the arrival of
the first of the company's boats next season.
The shipment will be used to make a trial
furnace run of the ore, probably with a view
to purchasing the old Magnetic, though Mr.
Mitchell is not committal on this point.
The Magnetic has not been wrought in over
fifteen years, as the ore was of too low a grade.
But it promises to have a new lease of life,
as it belongs in the class with the other lean
ore propositions which have come up for at-
tention of late. Particularly is this true of
many of the old mines in Iron county includ-
ed in the Crystal Falls district, some of which
are now being put in order for resuming ac-
tive operations next season.

Commerce of the Portage Lake canals, the
great waterway through Keweenaw Point,
near its base. Lake Superior, amounted to
2,413,445 freight torts, of a total value of
$79,869,500 in 1905, as compared with 2,295,-
922 tons of a valuation of $59,008,948 in
1904. From 1892 to 1905, inclusive, the total
quantity of freight passing through the can-
als was 21,364,850 tons, of a total valuation
of $625,131,550.
The annual report has just been issued by
Major Charles L. Potter for the Portage Lake
canals. The increase of freight, tonnage
passing up and down the Portage Lake
canals last season over 1895 was 222 per cent,
and the increase over 1904 was 7.72 per
cent. Substantial increases are shown in ce-
ment, hard and soft coal, grain, general
merchandise, copper, iron and manufactured
iron. Lumber shows a decrease. The same
system of assembling statistics of vessel traf-
fic obtains at the canal that is in vogue in
the United States engineer's department in
Duluth.
The average net registered tonnage of the
twenty large boats passing through the canals
was 3566. Loaded vessels of 500 feet in
length and drawing 19 feet passed through
the Portage Lake canals last season without
difficulty.
With the completion of the new draw-
bridge between Houghton and Hancock, with
draw spans of 108 and 118 feet respectively,
it is expected that this waterway will be more
generally used than heretofore.
The total number of vessels up and down
the canals during 1905 was 3,757, and of this
number 2,194 were steam vessels, other than
tugs, and the total tonnage of all boats up
and down was 2,434,145.
The work of wrecking the stranded boats at
the head of the Lakes is a matter that prom-
ises to take all wilder, with the steamer Cres-
cent City for a final wrecking job in the
spring. Woid is now expected any day, pro-
viding the weather remains reasonably calm,
that the barge Manila, on Encampment Isl-
and, is released. Capt. James Reid will then
direct his attention to the steamer Mataafa.
ashore at Duluth. It is said that while the
Mataafa appears in a bad position, she will
prove an easier job than any of the other
boats on shore. She is broken in two, but it
is believed she is on a sandy bottom. The
great obstacle to the release of the Crescent
City and of the Manila has been that the bot-
toms were pierced by bowlders. The Pittsburg
Steamship Company will take the Elwood to
a lower Lake port in the spring and repairs
will be made to her there after her ore cargo
is removed. The shipyard at Superior has all
the repair work it can attend to and has re-
pair work in sight for the greater part of
next summer.
The Graham & Morton steamer ArgO, which
was driven on the beach at Holland, two
months ago and from which passengers and
crew were rescued with breeches buoy with
the greatest difficulty, was towed into the har-
bor recently by the tug Diver of the Reid
AYrecking Company, of Samia, Ont.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Marine Notes.
The steamer building at the Ecorse yards
for the Shenango Steamship Company will be
named Win, P. Snyder.
The four 600-footers now building for the
Pittsburg Steamship Company will be named
as follows: J. Pierpont Morgan, Henry IT.
Rogers, Norman B. Ream, Peter A. B. Wide-
ner.
Negotiations are pending between the Gra-
ham & Morton line and the Pere Marquette
road for the charter of the car-ferry Pere
Marquette No. 5 again the coming season. The
Graham & Morton people operated her last
year on the Lake Michigan-Lake Superior
route.
The name of the Mack Steamship Company,
operating the steamers AY. II. Mack, and F. B.
Squire, has been changed to the Jenkins
Steamship Company. The repairs on the
Squire have been completed and she will be
loaded with coal. It was for this purpose
that she was brought to Cleveland from Buf-
falo early in February.
The work of loading grain into boats at
the head of the Great Lakes continues, and
there are at least two more vessels to be
loaded this winter. These are the steam-
ers Philip Minch and Widlar, which are at
Nye, Jenks & Co's elevator, at Itasca. The
steamer Heffelfiiiger is there also, but she has
received her cargo. It is necessary to cut ice
from around the boats to do the required shift-
ing to get them under the spouts.
The recent reduction in railway rates from
Ashland, placing the city on a direct equality
with Duluth, so far as rates are concerned,
has resulted in an immediate demand for bay
frontage. A coal syndicate headed by Wor-
rell Clarkson, of St. Paul, has purchased a
mile of bay frontage of Ashland, covering 240
acres, and at least one other similar transac-
tion will be announced shortly. The new rates
went into effect February 1.
A Tonawanda dispatch says that William
Hackett & Sons, of Quebec, who recently pur-
chased the schooner Frank D. Ewen, have also
bought the schooners Aberdeen and Zapotec.
The Zapotec is owned by the Marine Trans-
port Company of Marine City, and is winter-
ing at Buffalo, The Aberdeen is owned by
H. J. Pauly, of Milwaukee, and is in ordinary
at Port Huron. Both boats, with the Ewen,
will go into the lumber and pulpwood trade.
W. II. Hill, chief engineer of the fleet of
Lake freighters operated by W. II. Becker, has
announced the appointments of his engineers.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Steamship Enterprise.
There is a general movement among South
American countries to secure an extension of
existing steamship facilities, several of the
countries having made provision for govern-
mental assistance in this direction. A move-
ment has been started in Peru to secure a line
of steamships for direct trade between Callao
and Ancon, which is in the Canal /one. It is
proposed to place six steamers on this line.
The vessels will be commanded by foreigners,
and the consul-general directs attention of
American shipmasters and engineers to this
proposition. He writes:
I have been informed that the establish-
ment of a Peruvian line of mail, freight, and
passenger steamships, to ply directly between
Callao and Ancon, Canal Zone, with a sort of
subsidiary line of smaller vessels to make
shorter coastwise trips, is now an accomplished
fact. The necessary capital, I am told, has
been subscribed in the country itself, and he-
fore long there will probably be six steamers
of about 1600 tons each, making the regular
itinerary above mentioned. These facts will
doubtless cause a profound feeling of gratifi-
cation throughout the country.
The general spirit pervading Peru to-day is
one of extreme modernism — a desire to cast
away tradition and occupy a prominent place
in the arts and industries and business. Since
the termination of the war with Chile there
has been no Peruvian merchant marine, and
the country has had to depend for its comnm-
nicataion with the outside world, as well as
for the interchange of commerce between its
own ports (which, owing to the topography of
the coast, are often difficult of intercommuni-
cation by land), upon, first, a Chilean steam-
ship company, the Cia Sud Americana de
Vapores; second, an Anglo-Chilean company
known as the Pacific Steam Navigation Com-
pany, and, third, upon occasional German
steamers of the Cosmos line, the last-named
being cargo vessels which travel without any
fixed itinerary. There are also numerous small
craft plying between Peruvian ports, but
these are all of reduced tonnage and few of
them propelled by steam. At times. I am
told, the exigencies of the regular steamship
lines have proven very burdensome, and it
was therefore with a feeing of pride and
pleasure that Peru saw the steamship Iquitos
make its first trip under the Peruvian flag,
from Callao to Panama, not long ago. It is
now proposed to form a fleet of some five or
six chartered vessels, which may later be pur-
chased by the Government, and by means of
these and the Peruvian transport Iquitos to
carry on under the Peruvian flag a regular
and rapid service between Callao and Ancon
with an "annex line" of smaller vessels ply-
ing between Peruvian ports.
A point which ought to be of interest to
American shipmasters and engineers is that
these vessels are all to be commanded by for-
eign masters, and to have their engine rooms
put in charge of foreigners. Both masters and
engineers shall have under their orders Peru-
vian first, second, and third officers. The pay
of the msaters will be about sixty Peruvian
pounds gold ($292.20 United States cur-
rency) per month, and they shall naturally be
subjected to no living expenses while aboard
ship. The remuneration of the engineers has
not yet been decided upon. Subject to the de-
sires of the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, the Consulate-General invites the cor-
respondence of properly certificated American
shipmasters and engineers, whose applications
will at the proper time he presented to the per-
son placed in charge of this coming line of
Peruvian steamships.
Shetland Ponies.
In response to inquiries from Hie United
States about Shetland ponies. Consul Big-
gins, of Dundee, furnishes information that
will interest those contemplating investments
in those animals. The facts presented by
Consul Higgins were obtained Erom Consular
Agent Murray, of Aberdeen, in whose district
the Shetland Islands are included. It appears
that the breeding of Shetland ponies is quite
general in Great Britain. Through the per-
sistency of Mr. R. W. lv. Mackenzie, of Earls-
hall, in Fifeshire, what might be called head-
quarters for the breeding and sale of ponies
has been established at that place, and for
three years the most extensive pony sales of
Scotland and northern England have been
held there.
An analysis of the sales shows that mature
ponies of good form bring high prices, ranging
from $200 to $500. For inferior grades the
prices are proportionately lower. For foals
prices arealmost nominal. even when the blood
is of acknowledged merit. It would seem thai
the annual sales at Earlshall could be
profitably used by Americans who wish to es-
tablish in this country a herd of She) lands.
Many of the ponies exhibited at the sales are
models of beauty, and their performances in
the ring show fine trotting action and good
speed for their size.
Mr. Mackenzie, in a letter to Consular
Agent Murray, states that the price of ponies
ranges from £3 ($14.60) to £100 ($486.65)
each. The latter price would he for a very
superior stallion. Orkney and Shetland arc
adjacent islands lying northeast of Scotland.
They arc sterile, treeless and wind-swept, hut
the climate is comparatively mild owing to
the influence of the Gulf Stream. To Consul
Biggins, Mr. Mackenzie writes:
"It seems to me the lesson to he derived
from the Earlshall sales is that there is still
a good demand for ponies of the highest
merit and best blood, whilst for the general
utility pony or commoner the market is di-
minishing. This is partly due to the fact that
many of the thin coal seams in the Durham
district, where these ponies were very largely
used in recent times, have now ceased to be
worked, and larger ponies are employed
where the works are high enough to admit
them. While this is so, my increasing aver-
age encourages me to go on breeding the best.
Experiments I have made in crossing the pure
Shet lander with some of our larger breeds
convinces me that there is a future for the
breed in that direction. Horsemen generally
are more and more realizing the value of pony
blood for crossing purposes, and where can we
get a purer, sounder, or more robust in con-
stitution than the Shetland? The intelligence
of the Shetland pony is proverbial. Abso-
lutely the best animal I ever sat behind in
harness was a thickset, 14-hand cob whose dam
was a Clydesdale mare and sire a pure Shet-
land pony."
Day laborers in Venezuela are paid from 50
to 80 cents per day; domestic servants $3 to
$10 per month with board ; cooks $5 to $10
per month with board; farm laborers $40 to
$G0 per month with hoard; hotel waiters $8 to
$12 per month with hoard: dry-goods clerks,
$20 to $fi0 per month.

Four persona were killed and eleven
seriously injured in a lodging-house fire
at Portland, Or., on February 12.
General Kaulbars, Governor-General oi
Odessa, has issued a proclamation de-
claring that every one attempting to kill
or killing an official by means of explo-
sives, arms or otherwise, or who is found
in possession of deadly implements, will
henceforth be condemned to capital pun-
ishment without inquiry or trial.
The famous Sow and Pigs Reef, at tin'
entrance of Vineyard Sound, Mass.,
claimed another victim on February 11,
when the New York three-masted schoon-
er Joseph Hay, Captain C. B. McLean,
struck on one of the western ledges, and
sank fifteen minutes later in twelve
fathoms of water. The six men on board
who jumped into their yawl without sav-
ing any of their belongings, were landed
by a tug.
President Roosevelt has pardoned Mid
sbipman John Paul Miller, of Kentucky,
recently convicted of hazing. The rea-
sons assigned are that Miller is one of the
best students of his class; that his
academic record is excellent; that dis-
missal would be a harsh punishment for
a single instance of misconduct. Secre-
tary of the Navy Bonaparte had advo
cated that Miller be pardoned.
The House Committee on Insular Af-
fairs has decided to make a favorable re-
port on the Hull bill appropriating $50,-
000 to purchase coal lands in the Island
of Batan, Philippine Islands. It will be
determined later whether the United
States shall develop the coal itself or sub-
let the land for development, with a pro-
vision that coal shall be supplied to the
Government at a fixed price.
The steamers Westernland and Rries-
land, of the American line, which have
been tied up at Liverpool during the win-
ter months, will next month be added to
the fleet plying between Philadelphia and
Liverpool. At present only the Merion,
Haverford and Noordland are being
operated. With the addition of the other
two vessels there will be weekly sailings
between the two ports.
William J. Bryan, writing from Hong-
kong, has sent his resignation as trustee
of Illinois College, and at length declar-
ed that he would not serve a school where
the board of trustees was in favor of ac-
cepting funds from Carnegie or other
trust magnates, who are attempting to
subsidize the colleges of America to pre-
vent teaching of economic truth. The
resignation was accepted on February 12.
The London Times on February 17
published a curious article by its mili-
tary correspondent dealing witli the rea-
sons that led up to Prussia's stupendous
military disaster in 1806, and giving a
parallel between the military conditions
and spirit of the age in Prussia in 1806
and those of Great Britain in 1006. The
correspondent contends that the analogy
is remarkably close and painfully true,
and asks whether it is the will of the
British people to carry on the analogy
to its final and inevitable termination.
The large American steamers Min-
netonka and Winnewaska, which have
been lying idle at New York for a long
time, are reported sold to parties closely
connected with the Union Oil Company,
ul' San Francisco. They will shortly be
taken to Newport News, where they will
be converted into tank oil carriers. The
Minnetonka and Minnewaska were built
at Cleveland, O., by the American Ship
building Company in 1901 and 1902, re
spectively, and cost in the neighbor-
hood of $425,000 each. The selling price
is said to be a little mere than half of
the original cost, or about $250,000 each.
In order to bring the vessels around from
the Great Lakes they had to be cut in

there was a great hush as the Senator

"That's exactly what they did. They
all said 'Hush! ' "
A Compliment. — Miss Planer — "Mr.

Miss Speitz — "Oh! was that what he

Mrs. Krotchet — "What did you sec?"
Mr. Krotchet — "Hats and bonnets."
Touched. — "Hands up!"
The words startled the belated pedes-

"Your allusion to 'hands' is pain-

from a poker party, myself."
Hastily thrusting a dollar upon him,

He explained to friends that he was

SENATE IGNORES SEAMEN'S NEEDS.
Subsidy for Ships, Nothing for Sailors.
Senator Spooner On The "Ftirusetn Incident."
HEREWITH the Joukxal reproduces from the
Congressional Record the principal features
of the debate on the Ship Subsidy bill, in the
United States Senate on February 13 and 14.
On the first-named date Senator Spooner discussed
the Naval Reserve feature of the bill, taking the
ground that the provisions in that connection would
compel the seaman to practically enlist under Naval
regulations, at the same time subjecting him to the
liability of forfeiting his retainer through the whim
or spite of his immediate employer in the merchant
service. Upon this point the following debate oc-
curred :
Mr. GALLINGEE. If the Senator will permit me,
I think he is altogether too technical.
Mr. SPOONER. That is not technical.
Mr. GALLINGR. If the certificate is not satisfac-
tory, the man will not get his pay.
Mr. SPOONER. No.
Mr. GALLINGER. So no harm is done.
Mr. SPONXER. Yes; harm may be done to the
sailor, but what a control, if I am right, it gives the
master of a ship over this member of the Naval Re-
serve. The master of the ship or the shipowner may
reduce the wages which would otherwise be paid to the
sailor by the amount of this bounty proposed to be
taken out of the Treasury, to pay him as a member
of the Naval Reserve.
Mr. GALLINGER. My answer to that is that it is
improbable.
Mr. SPOONER. Mr. President, my answer to that
is that it is entirely probable. So Car us : have been
able to discover, in all of these bills there has been
given tremendous attention to the building of ships,
to the multiplication of ships (and our legislation
generally bears evidence of that), and but very little
attention to the comfort of or justice to the men who
navigate ships.
Mr. FRYE. Mr. President
The VICE-PRESIDENT. Does the Senator from
Wisconsin yield to the Senator from Maine!
Mr. SPOONEE. Certainly.
Mr. PR YE. The Senator from Wisconsin is en-
tirely inaccurate in his statement.
Mr. SPOONER. In what respect*
Mr. PETE. Legislation lias been passed ever Bince
I have been in Congress favoring the sailors. There
have been increased dimensions for them on shipboard
and increased comforts on shipboard. There is a reg-
ular menu established for their provisions, and all
that sort of thing, and the sailors have Dp to this
time made do complaint. Most of the legislation re-
ported from the Committee on Commerce has been in
the interest of the sailors rat In r than of the ship-
owners.
Mr. SPOONER. A year ago, or at the last session,
a bill passed the Senate and was amended in the Sen
ate having reference to the manning of ships and the
efficiency of the deck crew OH ships. That bill died
on the table in the House of Representatives. I be-
lieve it died on the table of the Mouse of Representa-
tives because the Senate had incorporated in it an
amendment which was intended to throw around the
deck crew of the ship safeguards absolutely obvious
to those who have solicitude either tor passengers or
for crew. T will read it :
' ' Provided, That except in the case of steamers
navigating rivers exclusively, at least 75 per cent of
the navigating crew, exclusive of licensed officers,
shall be individually effective hands. ' '
That does not define itself. But the Senate
amendment explained it:
"That is, of a rating not less than able-seaman,
and no one shall be signed as an able-seaman unless
he shall be 19 or more years of age and shall
have served at least three years on deck at sea or on
the Great Lakes. ' '
The provision in this bill, and it contains a defini-
tion, is:
' ' That upon each departure of said vessel from the
United States at least one-sixth of the crew shall be
citizens of the United States, or men who have declar-
ed their intention to become citizens, and of the deck
force ' ' — the deck or navigating force, the men who in
time of stress or danger are the safeguards of the
ship and its human freight — "excluding licensed offi-
cers, at least one-half shall be able-seamen, who are
hereby defined to be men who have had two years or
more experience ,at sea on deck. ' '
This matter of undermanning a ship, of not having
the requisite number of able-seamen — and when I say
able-seamen I mean men who reach' up -to a standard,
which in the world is deemed requisite, in the way
of experience, proved courage, knowledge of naviga-
tion, the dangers which confront a crew on an ocean-
going vessel — is not simply of importance to the own-
er of the ship, nor simply of importance to the pas-
sengers on the ship, to the great mass of waiters on
the ship, to the men who are of no avail in time of
accident, except to make a rush for the boat; but it
is important to the crew, it is important to the men
who are fit to be in the deck crew. They are all in-
terested in that. If they are surrounded by an un-
just proportion of men very much less efficient than
themselves, it involves overwork upon their part, and
not simply overwork, but it involves danger to them
as it does to the ship.
It does not rest simply on the statement of the sea-
men 's unions; it does not rest simply on the state-
ment of those who go down to the sea in ships, and
who have banded together, as all other men who work
have banded together to promote in fair ways the in-
terest, and the safety of their craft. The importance
of this mutter of manning and of absolute efficiency
in the crew on deck has received the attention of Par-
liament in Oreat Britain. It was thoroughly investi-
gated. The reports show that very little testimony
could be secured from the masters of ships or the
owners of ships. The testimony eanie mainly from
mi n who manned the ships.
Senator Spooner proceeded to point out the ab
in the bill under discussion of any provisions for the
better manning of vessels, but was interrupted by
Senator Gallinger with the statement that thai ques-
tion "has nothing to do with the Xuvul Reserve. "
To this Senator S[ ner replied as follows:
Mr. SPOONEE: I am not talking about the Naval
Reserve. I am not through with that, but I passed
from it to this other proposition. T will go buck to
thi' Naval Reserve. If there had been a decent nam
ber »of efficient men on the Genera] Slocum, there
would have been infinitely less loss of life, if any, and
it is not good legislation nor is it good administration
that renders it possible for shipowners to gather in
dollars from men, women, and children without taking
the precautions reasonably to be prescribed by law to
have their ships manned by men who know the sea and
who know what to do in an emergency, and have the
courage to do it. I came across the ocean once on a
great steamship with my family when the crew of
able-bodied seamen had been taken off at night on a
strike and their places filled by men picked from the
slums of Liverpool, and there were not ten able-sea
men on the ship. Happily it was a smooth voyage;
but no ship with hundreds of people ever ought to be
permitted, Mr. President, to leave port to start upon
an ocean voyage unless there are upon that ship the
requisite number of seamen of experience.
Returning to the danger incurred by the Naval Re-
serve man under the certification plan proposed by the
bill, Senator Spooner said :
Mr. SPOONER. The certificate has got to be that
such a person has served satisfactorily — that can only
be determined by some one on board the ship — for at
least six months of the preceding twelve months on
vessels of the United States in the merchant marine
or in the deep-sea fisheries, and if the captain of the
ship does not certify that the person served satisfac-
torily for that period it is incompetent for the officers
of the Government to pay to that man the retainer.
Now, what greater power could be given over a sail-
or's ability — I do not phrase that happily — to secure
this retainer than is provided here as to the evidence
upon which it is to be paid?
Suppose the captain of the ship or the owner in.
ists upon paying less wages because of this payment
by the Government, is it not entirely within his power
under such a procedure as that to enforce it? If a
mean captain, a tyrannical captain, a captain who has
been prejudiced by mates against a sailor or in any-
wise does not see fit to make this certificate, is there
any manner in which justice can be brought about?
Upon the general proposition that a seaman, in
oriler to secure employment on a vessel under the Sub-
sidy system, must enlist in the Naval Reserve, Sen-
ator Spooner spoke as follows:
A man, Mr. President, who is Willing to be put in
that duress, who, in order to secure employment in
his calling on a, ship at sea, will bind himself in time
of peace to serve four years whenever called upon In
time of war, to get this money out of the Treasury, is
not the kind of a man to be relied upon for national
defense in time of war. Good sailors, self-respecting
sailors abhor it. They say that it is an insult. They
say it is a governmental tip, and is predicated upon
the false assumption that they do not love the flag
which floats over the ship upon which they sail out on
the sea; Hint their patriotism is to be bought, by this
bounty from the Treasury, and that the people of the
linited States and its Government, are not looking to
the past and the prompt enlistment of sailors in the
past in time of trouble, willing to trust to their pal
riot ism.
The idea — and some would have to do that in order
to get employment in the merchant marine — that a
man must, enlist, must, take this pay which he does not
earn, perchance simply paid tor the right to call upon
him any time during four years if the exigency dfl
inands it, ami Hint he must enter upon that obligation
in order to obtain service on one of these bounty paid
ships, is repulsive. It is a new way of building up
or making a recruiting establishment for the Navy.
The sailors say it is a governmental press-gang after
a fashion, ami they do not like it.
I will not take the time to read them, for T want to
yield '" the Senator from Iowa (Mr. Allison), but I
COAST SEAMEN'S JOUWNAL.
will ask permission to put in the Record one or two
resolutions of sailors' organizations protesting against
this provision.
The VICE-PRESIDENT. Without objection, it is
so ordered.
The resolutions referred to are as follows:
"Lake Seamen's I'nion Resolution.
"Whereas the United States Senate is about to
vote upon the Subsidy bill; therefore, be it
' ' Resolved, By the Lake Seamen 's Union, in meet-
ing assembled, that we respectfully but earnestly pro-
test against the bill in its present form, and appeal
to the Senate to strike out subsections '■'< and 6 of sec-
tion 3, for the following reasons:
"First, Subsection 3 appears to give some advan-
tage to the seaman, but in reality lowers the standard
of efficiency by authorizing the vessel to go to sea
with but half of the crew able-seamen. They have
clone so in the past, but in violation of the spirit, it
not the letter, of the law.
"Second. Subsection 6 provides that the owner
must have a certain number of naval reserves to get
the subsidy. This means that the seaman must be in
the Reserves in order to get employment. This is con-
scription pure and simple, and we protest against be-
iug selected for this while other men may, under ordi-
nary conditions, choose whether they will enlist or not
until the nation needs all its men.
"Third. It would compel us to be in the military
service from 21 to 47 or quit the sea.
"Fourth. Under such conditions we would rather
quit the sea, since it w:ould be a notice to us that we
must, as seamen, give up any hope of improvement in
our life. We have asked for laws in accord with
American ideas, and we are getting more servitude
and more discriminations against us.
"Fifth. The discrimination is coupled with a
bonus, which places us in the position of receiving,
while in health, money which we have not earned, and
which is therefore in the eyes of honest men dishon-
orable.
"Sixth. The striking out of these tun sections
leaves it to each seaman to choose fur himself whether
he will accept the bonus or not, and this, we respect-
fully suggest, is a privilege granted to all other sen-
ants. As workingmen we ask to be permitted to re-
tain so much of the respect of our fellows and our-
selves as our present status has made it possible for
us to keep.
' ' On behalf of the Lake Seamen 's Union.
"V. A. Olander, Assistant Secretary.
"T. A. Hanson, Chairman.
"Chicago, III., February 9, 1906.
"Washington, D. C, February 10, 1906.
"Dear Senator: On behalf of the seamen I here-
by respectfully and earnestly protest against the
adoption of the Subsidy bill as now before the Sen-
ate. Tile protest is based upon the following reasons:
"1. Section 1 offers to us a bonus, for which we
never asked and against which we most emphatically
protest. When this country needed men we always
volunteered, and Congress has no right to assume that
we will do otherwise in the future.
' ' H. The same section puts us under the absolute
authority of the Secretary of the Navy to 'receive
such instructions and be subject to such regulations
as the Secretary of the Navy may prescribe.' To re-
fuse would mean punishment for desertion under the
Naval regulations.
"3. The bonus shall only be paid on condition
that we have served in some private vessel to the sat-
isfaction of the owner thereof for six months or more
during the previous twelve months. The bonus shall
be paid 'on certificate by the Commissioner of Navi-
gation that such member has served satisfactorily for
at least six months * * * on some merchant vessel
of the United States.' None but the owner of the
vessel can give such certificate.
"4. Subsection 6 of section 3 and section 7 pro-
vide that the owners are not to receive the subsidy
unless they employ in their vessels an increasingly
large number of members of the Naval Reserve. This
makes industrial employment contingent upon enlist-
ment in the Navy, and is a more drastic form of con-
scription than is now practiced by any country.
"5. This bill makes the seamen's bread depend-
ent upon service in the Navy not only during war, but
during peace as well.
"6. The seaman may not, under this bill, choose
for himself whether he shall volunteer; he must, or
else he must leave the sea.
"7. He can not, like an honest man, refuse to ac-
cept money which he has not earned. He must either
so behave himself as to fail in getting a certificate of
good conduct, he must leave the calling, or he must
accept, no matter if what self-reaped he may possess
is thereby wounded or destroyed.
"8. He must at all times be ready to go to war
upon the call of the President against anybody in any
cause for anybody. He may not, like a citizen, re-
fuse to serve until the President shall by the need of
the country deem it proper to call upon all men in the
country's defense.
"9. The industrial employer could, and, as we
know him, we know that he would reduce the present
all too low wages by so much as the Government
would be paying. To dispute his right to determine
the rate of wages would be to fail in getting that
certificate of good conduct necessary to get this
bonus. Real seamen will without doubt fail.
"10. Seamen are too ill paid and poor to live like
other men, but we have yet, in spite of our status
under the law and the pity with which we are consid-
ered, sufficient self-respect to appreciate the true
value of the gift which it is contemplated to force
upon us.
"On behalf of the organized seamen of the United
States, Very truly yours,
' ' A NDRXW FURUBETH,
"Chairman Legislative Committee, International
Seamen *s Union of America.
On February 14, the debate was resumed. Senator
Spooner took up the matter of the efficiency of the
crews provided for by the bill, contending for the
adoption of the proposal offered by the Seamen, name-
ly, "That, except in the case of steamers navigating
rivers exclusively, at least seventy-five per cent of the
navigating crew, exclusive of licensed officers, shall
be individually effective hands — that is, of a rating
not less than able-seaman — and no one shall be signed
as an able-seaman unless he shall be 19 or more years
of age and shall have served at least three years on
deck at sea or on the Great Lakes."
Senator Gallinger, while defending the manning
provisions of the Subsidy bill, was interrupted by
Senator Frye, who sarcastically alluded to Andrew
Furnseth, the Seamen's representative at Washington,
as the source of Senator Spooner 's information. The
following colloquy ensued :
Mr. GALLINGER. I rose simply to say that, as I
recollect, the phraseology in that clause was copied
after a similar phraseology used in other shipping
bills, except that this bill gives a definition requiring
two years' service. The definition may me imperfect,
but I think it greatly strengthens the bill in respect
to the quality of the men.
Mr. FRYE. The Senator did not ask Furuseth?
Mr. GALLINGER. No.
Mr. SPOONER. The Senator from Maine says he
did not ask Furuseth? I know Mr. Furuseth. So
does the Senator. I have found Mr. Furuseth to be
a man of very large intelligence, a man who under-
stands the sea, a man who has spent his whole life
nearly upon it.
Mr. FRYE. He has been twenty years in Washing-
ton, I guess.
Mr. SPOONER. He has spent practically a large
part of his life upon the sea. He became early, before
he had reached the years of manhood, a sailor. He
is a Scandinavian, who has served in almost every
position, except perhaps that of an officer on the ship,
and who has sailed upon every known sea except the
Mediterranean. He has been in Washington. What
•for? To represent the interest of the sailors, his
class, in the industry of the world. Is that a reproach
to him? There is not an industry or a craft in this
country or any other which is not organized for the
protection and for advancing the interests of its mem-
bers.
It is not enough, or it ought not to be enough, to
condemn a proposition in the Senate of the United
States to say that it emanates from one who is her
the delegate of a class of men to be affected by it.
Every great interest in the United States has at
times its agents here in Washington, more or less list-
ened to, permitted to present properly in one way and
another the interests which they are here to represent.
Whether this proposition or any proposition should
be embodied in law, Mr. President, depends not upon
the source whence it comes, but upon the merit of the
proposition itself. In building up a merchant marine
by bounties out of the Treasury raised through taxa-
tion throughout the whole country, to encourage the
construction of ships, the investment of money in
shipyards, why not give some attention to the inter-
est of the men who are to man the ships ?
Mr. FRYE. Mr. President
The VICE-PRESIDENT. Does the Senator from
Wisconsin yield to the Senator from Maine!
Mr. SPOONER. Certainly.
Mr. FKYE. I, without intending to do it, provoked
this oratory of the Senator from Wisconsin.
Mr. SPOONER Not oratory.
Mr. FRYE. I desire to say to the Senator from
Wisconsin that Mr. Furuseth has been known to me a
good many more years than he has to the Senator, and
that he has always had a hearing before the Commit-
tee on Commerce, and a full and fair hearing, on every
proposition that he has made. Many of his proposi-
tions have been accepted and made into law. I have
nothing against Mr. Furuseth at all, except that now
certainly he is no sailor and has not been for quite a
number of years. He represents the Sailors' I'nion on
the Pacific Coast. That union now controls very large-
ly the sailors oil the Pacific < 'oast.
Mr. SPOONER. I presented yesterday a series of
resolutions from the sailors of the Great Lakes, from
Chicago, in which they took the same view precisely
of this compulsory provision as to the employment of
Naval-Reserve men on ships that Mr. Furuseth takes,
representing the Sailors' Unio ' 'he Pacific Coast.
If it was proper to hear Mr. Furuseth as the represen-
tative of the sailors before the Committee on Com-
merce, if any of his propositions be found to be rea-
sonable, of course T am not subject to criticism or cen-
sure that I have permitted him to talk with me. I re-
serve the right to obtain information upon matters
concerning which I am to legislate from any source,
and whatever I urge upon the Senate I urge upon tin-
Senate not because some man has told me this or that,
but because upon reflection I think the proposition is
a reasonable one.
Why should not the Senate of the United States and
the Congress of the United Slates take peculiar care
that there shall be on every steamship which sails un-
der our flag out of a port of the United States a com-
plement of sailors competent by experience on the sea
to meet the exigencies which so often confront a ship
and which so often destroy the ship and its cargo,
human and freight?
Mr. GALLINGER. Mr. President—
The VICE-PRESIDENT. I iocs the Senator from
Wisconsin yield to the Senator from New Hampshire?
Mr. SPOONER. I will yield, but I have not pie-
Bented what I wanted to say.
Mr. GALLINGER I do not wish to interrupt the
Senator.
if the Senator wants t,, ask
Mr. SPOONER No;
me a quesl ion, 1 yield.
Mr. GALLINGER. I do not want to ask a ques-
• - 1 simply wanted to repeat what I think the
Senator did not catch when he became interested in
the Furuseth incident, that those of us who con-
structed this bill had an impression that the require-
ment of two years at sea, making that service the
definition of an able -seaman, improved the hill, an,|
would give the ships a better quality of men
Mr. SPOONER. of course. Mr. President, but it is
not a careful definition.
Mr. GALLINGER. No.
Mr. SPOONER It is not such a definition as the
Hritish commission which dealt with this great subject
of manning ships saw tit to prescribe. They thought
there ought to be some limit as to age; they thought
that a boy of Is or under who had served at sea on
deck— under this proposed Btatute a service on deck at
sea makes a seaman; he might have served in the
cabin of a steamship — should not be regarded as an
able-seaman.
Mr. GALLINGER. Well, Mr. President, on that
point, if the Senator can present a better definition I
think we would be glad to have it.
Mr. SPOONER That is just what I am trving to
do.
Mr. GALLINGER I am glad the Senator is mak-
ing that effort.
Mr. SPOONER I am giving the reason why I
think this is inadequate.
Mr. GALLINGER If the Senator will permit me,
I want to say a single word concerning Mr. Furuseth
Mr. SPOON Kb'. Certainly.
Mr. GALLINGER The Commission listened to Mr.
Furuseth in San Francisco very attentively. In the
hearings he occupies from page 1212 to page 1277, OS
pages, and scattered through the testimony there are a
great many places where Mr. Furuseth appeal
Not only that, but the Commission treated Mr. I'uni-
seth with so much consideration that a portion of the
Commission visited a ship in his company and in-
speeted it. But the Senator will agree with me, I feel
sure, that this is not the bill to correct all the evils
which may exist in reference to seamen on ships.
After debate on the bill had been resumed. Senator
Perkins spoke as follows:
Mr. PERKINS. Mr. President—
The VICE-PRESIDENT. Does the Senator from
Wisconsin yield to the Senator from California?
Mr. SPOONER Certainly.
Mr. PERKINS. If my friend will permit me, I
wish to call his attention to a point which he has not
considered, or at least he has not mentioned it.
Mr. SPOONER Undoubtedly there are many.
Mr. PERKINS. The Senator is a distinguished law-
yer, and has. perhaps, certainly as much influence as
anyone in the Senate and outside of it in framing pub-
lic opinion. I believe he, as a lawyer in admiralty
s, in representing the owners of vessels, will ag
that if tin- owner is not actuated by a higher motive
he desires to protect his own property, his crew, and
i In ise who may take passage on his ship.
In referring to the statute of able seamen, the Sena-
tor from Wisconsin forgets that in the engineering
department id' every ship there is the great motor
power for propelling the ship, while heretofore, when
we were boys following the sea. it was the sails of our
ships, the winds of heaven, and all tin men on the
deck were sailor men who might trim those sails to the
breezes that propelled them through the ocean.
Now. the greatest danger on every steamship, as the
Senator well knows, is that of fire and accident to the
machinery of the ship. The engineer's crew are all
trained and should have fire drill at leasl every week.
That is the regulation of every well organized steam-
ship company. In the engineer's department the chief
engineer takes charge of one of the boat-, one on the
starboard quarter or the port quarter. The firs! as-
sistant engineer takes charge of another boat, and it
is manned by the engineer's crew, who are well dis-
ciplined in the engineer's department. While per-
haps the coal-stokers and the firemen are not classified
as able men. they are sailor men. Only a few weeks
since there was a fire on one of the steamships on the
Pacific Coast, and. in a great measure, for the safety
Of that ship and the lives of the passengers they were
indebted to the coal stokers down beneath the decks in
the hold of the ship, who came to the deck and 1'
manned the whole fire hose and extinguished the lire.
So in the steward's department, while they are not
sailor men, seamen is the word of the statute, the chief-
steward is assigned to one of the boats, and when the
gong rings the alarm for lire each one is at his station
and mans the halyards ami Bwings the davits, if he
does not become rattled and disabled to do his duty.
Therefore. 1 want to say to the Senator from Wis-
consin, we all have the same object in view, to see that
the ships are properly equipped and manned, but the
necessity does not exist that there shall be so many
able-seamen on a steamship as en a sailing ship, I
cause each department of the sin,., as I have said lie-
lore, the engineers, the steward's department, tin'
coal-passers, the firemen, are all disciplined, and when
the tire alarm is struck, if they know their duty and
have been properly disciplined,' they are at their sta-
tions to save life and property.
I am in full accord with the Senator's views; and if
the bill is defective, we ought all of us to unite to-
gether and perfect it. If two veins' experience is
sufficient, let us give them three or four years' experi-
ence. Put there are many who learn more in six
months or a year at sea "than others who have fol-
lowed it all their lives. I have been shipmate on ship
with sailors where there were thirty-six able-seamen
and only four boys or four ordinary-seamen, an 1 it
was only one of us four boys who was permitted to
sleer that ship, to remain at the helm. It was beeausi
those boys had an interest in what they were doing.
They were looking forward, and hoped to rise by
itinued on page 7.)

Chinese Exclusion.
The recent visit to this country by the
Chinese Imperial High Commission in the in-
terests of unrestricted Chinese immigration,
served to rouse the press and the people of
the East to an unwonted pitch of cerebral
activity on the, to that section, usually unin-
teresting subject of Chinese Exclusion. As
might have been expected, the press was al-
most a unit in salaaming editorially to the
"distinguished visitors," and in pouring
broadsides of trust-made wrath at those who
ventured to say that they thought the Chinese
Exclusion a good thing for this coun-
try. AVe were told by these mould-
ers of public opinion that as a nation
we have disgraced ourselves in the eyes
of the civilized world by our treatment
of the Chinese. AVe were furthermore told
that inasmuch as we had failed to give the
Chinese a "square deal," they were morally
justified in boycotting our wares; and we
would be lucky indeed if they stopped at that,
as there were unmistakable signs scattered all
over the political horizon that the "Chinese
Giant" was just beginning to wake up after
his age-long sleep, and will be as likely as not,
when he is fully awakened, to wreak summary
vengeance upon us for our cavalier treatment
of him, etc.
It goes without saying that these amiable
"tribunes of the people" were not over anx-
ious to throw their columns open for discus-
sion of Chinese Exclusion to those on the other
side of that question. And, when one comes
to think of it, one can hardly blame them
either for their attitude in that respect, for
had they encouraged such discussion they
would no doubt have been swamped with com-
munications from anti-Chinese minded people
who are too poor to own or subsidize a news-
paper. Once in a while, however — probably
through an oversight on the part of the man-
agement— a pro-Exclusion communication
finds its way into the columns of some news-
paper. The following, for instance, appeared
in the New York World of February 14:
Some persons are complaining about the ill-treat-
ment of the Chinese. Will they explain in what it
consists, and what line of action should be followed?
Must the common people move up closer, or move out
entirely and make the Chinaman a present of the coun-
try ? Or shall we gather them in and regulate our liv-
ing to a daily ration of a pound of rice and a sip of
tea, and wear only a pair of beautiful gingham trou-
serettes, a shirt and a pair of straw slippers?
There is plenty of room for them in warmer coun-
tries, and all the advantages. No one but capitalists
will be benefited by crowding the country with them.
There are too many now hanging on the straps. There
are thousands of Chinamen here at present, getting
the best possible treatment, and making money rub-
bing holes in shirts.
This country lias proved its friendly interest in
( hina often. In the Boxer troubles our troops did not
do any plundering, and our Government did not exact
any indemnity beyond its expenses.
If the millionaires of America, China and England
are to have their way, the country will be turned into
;i treadmill for all races, grinding out fabulous riches
to be spent in England and on the Continent.
The questions asked by the writer of the
foregoing communication touch the core of
t ho Chinese Exclusion question. Must the
common people move up closer, or move out
entirely and make the Chinese a present of
the country? Or, must we gather them in,
as we are now doing with European immi-
grants and risk the Celestializing of our civ-
ilization? These are questions which our pro-
Chinese friends will find rather bothersome to
answer without rupturing their monopoly of
patriotism. And yet, it must be evident to
any man capable of reasoning from cause to
effect, that unless we adhere strictly to our
present Chinese Exclusion policy, the condi-
tions suggested by the aforesaid questions will
be the only alternatives. But, it may be confi-
dently predicted that, should our pro-Chinese
patriots succeed in their little scheme, the
common people will not move up closer. In-
stead, there is likely to be a war of extermina-
tion that will "stagger humanity," as the
late "Oom Paul" might have said.
According to statistics gathered by life in-
surance companies there were killed or maim-
ed in Allegheny County, Pa., in 1905, 17,700
persons; as follows: In the iron and steel
mills and blast furnaces, 9,000 ; in other mills,
shops, and factories, 4,000 ; in coal mines, 400 ;
on railroads, 4,300. This does not include
thousands of casualties which for one reason
or other were never reported. And now
comes the strangest part of this terrible rec-
ord, which in numbers of killed and wounded
beats the records of many great battles of his-
tory. Of all these casualties met with in
peaceable pursuits only ninety-two cases came
to the notice of the State Factory Inspectors!
AVhat knaves these mortals be — when they are
not fools !
A couple of members of the wealthy Astor
family and some friends went "slumming"
on a recent evening through "Chinatown" in
New York City, and the local Police Depart-
ment considerately sent two detectives to es-
cort the distinguished citizens and see that
no harm came to them. Now, the question
is, Suppose a party of plebeian Smiths or
Browns wanted to go a-slumming somewhere,
how much police protection would they be
likely to to get? Any peaceable "American
sovereign" who has ever been told by a gruff
policeman to "g'wan now, or Oi'll fan ye"
can supply the correct answer to that ques-
tion.
Secretary Taft is said to have gone into
training for the purpose of reducing his rath-
er too generous allowance of embonpoint.
He has no doubt realized that it is pretty hard
to get elected to the Presidency unless one
is nimble enough to get around after grizzlies
and wildcats. Some one who can get his ear
should point out to him that "making the dirt
fly" in a tropical climate has a decided tend-
ency to reduce superfluous flesh.
A movement has been set on foot by the
Central Federated Union, of New York City,
under the auspices of the American Federa-
tion of Labor, to collect a fund for the pur-
chase of a burial plot for the body of the late
John Swinton, and the erection thereon of a
monument in his honor. Since his death, four
years ago, the body of Mr. Swinton has been
lying in a vault in Greenwood Cemetery.
Joseph Fitzpatrick, a member of the Atlan-
tic Coast .Marine Firemen's Union, was
drowned at Philadelphia, Pa., on December 9.
The body was recovered and conveyed to rela-
tives in Boston, and there interred al the ex-
pense of the Union.
Fag Ends.
Work for Direct Legislation and the Re-
call !
Optimists are usually good fair-weather
sailors.
The more politicians, the more "honest
>raft!"
Opportunity seldom waits twice on the
same man.
No people is free that is not master of its
own government.
Fools are guided more by custom than by
sober sense and reason.
Judged by modern standards, Christ and
the Apostles were all failures.
No mind can do its best that is not free
from dreams of wealth or fear of poverty.
When all is said, the business of mankind
relates far more to matter than to mind.
Pope paraphrased up-to-date: AVealth
makes the man, and want of it the fellow.
The man who waits for others to do more
for him than he is willing to do for himself
is booked for a long wait.
Truth is often ambushed and its life
crushed out by those who worship at the shrine
of Doubt, while Falsehood may pass freely
by their doors upon its baneful and destruct-
ive course.
Those grafting statesmen who speak so
reverently and approvingly of Washington,
Jefferson and Lincoln, somehow make one feel
like saying things which are only kept back
because of respect for the maxim, "Com-
parisons are odious."
When we see an old, wornout, overworked
horse drop dead in the street, or behold the
remains of some poor unfortunate sweatshop
consumptive being carted away to their last
resting place, do not let us forget to mumble
something pious about "God's will," or that
this is the twentieth century of "Christian
civilization."
Senator Frye is reported by the Congres-
sional Record as saying that sailors are to-day
earning from $100 to $125 a month — "more
I ban the captains of foreign tramp ships. "
He forgot to add, however, that the captains
of American ships earn a good deal more than
Ihe admirals of many foreign navies. It is
misrepresentation and artful shuffle of this
kind from "eminent citizens" like Senator
Frye that do so much to perpetuate the spirit
of our antediluvian Navigation laws. If the
public were given the plain facts about our
merchant marine, and especially about the
ridiculous legal status of merchant seamen,
reform along lines suggested by the seamen
themselves would be achieved through sheer
weight of public opinion.

A libel for $812, alleged amount of damage to cargo,
has been filed by the Continental Paper Company
against the steamer Watson, at San Francisco.
The Merchants' Exchange, of San Francisco, has es-
tablished a -wireless telegraph apparatus by which com-
munication will be maintained between various points
on the Coast and vessels at sea.
The steamer Dimono, against which several libels
have been filed in the United States District Court,
was sold at auction at San Francisco on February 21,
lor $6000, the purchaser being the California Salt
Company.
C. L. Tutt, of Colorado Spripgs, has entered the
Anemone for the Hawaii Yacht Club's proposed yacht
race from San Francisco to Honolulu. The Anemone
will soon sail from New York for San Francisco
around Cape Horn.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on February 25: British bark Drumcraig,
157 days from Astoria for Manila, 90 per cent; Brit-
ish bark Daylight, 185 days from New York for Yok-
kaichi, 8 per cent.
Reinspection of all vessels in Seattle harbor began
on February 23, in accordance with instructions from
the Secretary of the Navy acting on the suggestion of
the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, made througli
resolutions adopted in that city after the Valencia
disaster.
After having been delayed in port for a day, on
account of rough weather outside, the British ship
Celtic Monarch sailed from San Francisco on Feb-
ruary 25 in tow for Royal Roads, British Columbia,
to load under charter to the Barncson-Hibbcrd Com-
pany for a foreign port.
The Alaskan steamer Dora, of the Northwestern
Steamship Company's line, which had been missing
for fifty-four days, being given up for lost, arrived
at Port Angeles, Wash., on February 23. The Dora
had been driven 2000 miles out of her course, and re-
insurance had been quoted at 90 per cent.
The Valencia inquiry was concluded at Victoria,
B. C, on February 20, when Superintendent Hussey of
the Provincial Police testified to the work of recover-
ing the bodies and submitted a statement showing that
of 164 persons on board thirty-eight were saved and
thirty-two identified and seventeen unidentified bodies
were recovered.
The Barneson-Hibbard Company, owner of the
four-masted ship Drumcraig, which is now out 159
days on the passage from Astoria, Or., for Manila, P.
I., expresses some hope for this vessel, which has been
given up for lost by the shipping men generally. It is
thought that the Drumcraig may be delayed by the
prevailing monsoons.
Wireless communication between Seattle and Cape
flattery and a Life-Saving station on Waadah Island,
near the entrance to the Pacific ocean, will be in-
cluded in the recommendations to be made to Congress
by Commissioners Murray, Smith and Burwell, who
recently returned to Seattle after a, two days' voyage
down the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Two of the overdue vessels were crossed from the
list on February 23, having arrived at their destina-
tions. The American bark Adolph Obrig, 171 days
out from Norfolk, Va., for Manila, reached Cavite, in
Manila harbor, in safety, and the German ship Albert
Riekmers, 172 days out from New York for Hong-
kong, is reported to have ended her passage in safety.
Senator Perkins has reported from the Fisheries
Committee a bill aiding the private salmon hatcheries
in Alaska. Something must be done, the report says,
to prevent the extermination of the salmon. In re-
turn for establishing private hatcheries the bill would
give those responsible the right to catch fish within
three miles from the mouths of the streams on which
the hatcheries are located.
Immediate construction is to be commenced on a
lightship to be established by Canada on Swiftsuxe
Bank, between Carmauah and Cape Beale, about si ■< n
. miles from the coast, and a number of leading light-
houses of the first order will be built on the Vancou-
ver Island coast, between Race Rocks and Cape Cook.
A new light will be established near Sheringham
Point, between Carmanah and Victoria.
Collector of the Port F. S. Stratton, at Han Fran
cisco, has been notified that hereafter Port Earford
and Monterey, Cal., will be Bub-ports of entry. Hen
tofore, before boats could be loaded or unload. . I at
these ports or could receive clearance papers from
them, Customs deputies had to be sent down for thai
purpose. As soon as arrangements can be made, two
deputies will be permanently stationed at each port.
At the request of Senators Perkins and Flint, the
Senate Committee on Territories has postponed until
March 7 the hearing upon the Cushmau bill for the
protection of Alaskan fisheries. California salmon-
packers declare the bill contains provisions which if
enacted into law would ba ruinous to their industry.
They asked for time in which to prepare a protest,
and at the request of the Senators this was granted.
As showing the growing traffic in fuel oil, it was
noted at San Francisco on February 22 that five ca-
pacious ocean carriers were among the vessels going to
sea on that day. They were the steamers Atlas and
Whittier and the barges No. 3 and Santa Paula for
Port Harford and the schooner Santiago for Mon-
terey. Another oil carrier, the Dakotah, arrived oh
the same date from the China coast with her tanks
filled with 4000 tons of merchandise. She will sail in
a few days for the Orient with a full cargo of oil.
The Norwegian steamer Otta, laden with a cargo
of 5112 tons of coal, arrived at San Francisco on
February 25 from Comox, B. C. Captain Linchausen
reported on arrival that, at a point sixty miles north
of the Golden Gate, he sighted a passenger steamer
with her sidelights not showing. The Queen or Uma-
tilla might have been in that vicinity at that time,
but both vessels have since reported, and it is be-
lieved that some other vessel was hove to when the
Otta passed.
Representative Knowland, of Oakland, Cal., has in-
troduced a resolution in Congress, for the relief of the
surviving members of the United States steamer Rod-
gers of the Jeannette relief expedition. By the terms
of the resolution the President is directed and author-
ized to cause these men to be reinstated and reap-
pointed in the Navy with the same rank or rating held
by them at the 'time of their discharge, and to be re-
tired with the pay provided in the act of March 3,
1899. Among the survivors of the Rodgers are: Her-
bert P. De Tracey, George Gardner, Joseph Hodgson,
Patrick Cahill, Frank Berk, Otter Peterson, William
F. Morgan, Frederick Bruch, Frank McShane, Fred-
erick Smith, William H. Deming and William Rhode.
Captain A. C. Peterson, master of the American
bark Challenger, returned to San Francisco on Febru-
ary 9. The story of the loss of the Challenger has
been briefly told. She was carrying a cargo of fer-
tilizer from Killisnoo, Alaska, when in midocean fire
was discovered in the lower hold. Nothing could be
done to extinguish the fire, except battening the
hatches, and extra sail was spread and every effort
made to reach the coast of Japan before the fire broke
out. Fortunately, the Challenger reached the Inland
Sea, a few miles from Osaka, her destination, when
Captain Peterson had the vessel scuttled and took to
the boats with his wife and three children and the
crew. Later a great gale sprang up. and utterly de-
stroyed the vessel.
Collector of the Port Frederick S. Stratton, of San
Francisco, has been advised by the Secretary of the
Treasury that the laws regarding the size and ventila-
tion of passenger apartments on ocean-going steam-
ers will be enforced with the utmost rigidity. lie
has been instructed that, if he discovers the slightest
violation of these laws, he is to report it to the United
States District Attorney and to the authorities at
Washington. The law provides that in steamers there
must be 100 cubic feet of air space for each passenger,
and that the ventilation must be adequate. There must
not be more than three tiers of berths in each state
room. It is said that in the quarters occupied by Chi-
nese on some of the boats there are six tiers of berths.

"Wages and Contraband.
The Gogovale (s.). — King's Bench Divis-
ion, 18th December. — This was an appeal
from the decision of the Stipendiary Magis-
trate at Cardiff. Patrick Connelly, a fireman,
sued Captain Harry Sibery, master of the Go-
govale (s.), for £15 8s. Id., for balance of
wages. On the 8th of April, 1904, plaintiff
signed articles for three years on the Gogo-
vale, commencing at Glasgow, and proceeding
via Cardiff to Hongkong, and thence, as
may be required, at £4 a month. The vessel
loaded a cargo of coal at Cardiff for Sasebo,
in Japan, but the destination was not dis-
closed to plaintiff, and the vessel cleared for
Hongkong. The vessel arrived at Hong-
kong on July 20th, when plaintiff and the
rest of the crew discovered that the destina-
tion of the cargo was Sasebo, and refused to
proceed in the vessel, as she was carrying
contraband of war to the port of a belligerent.
By mutual consent thecrew Avere left at Hong-
kong till the ship returned from Japan, their
wages in the meantime to run on until they
rejoined the ship, the dispute to be settled at
the final port of discharge, and the vessel
proceeding to Sasebo with a Chinese crew.
Plaintiff and the rest of the crew remained at
Hongkong till the return of the vessel on
August 17th, when they rejoined her. The
voyage terminated at Cardiff on the 4th of
March, 1905. Defendant admitted liability
for £9 4s. Id., but disputed plaintiff's right
to £4 for one month's wages, and £2 4s. ex-
penses incurred whilst waiting at Hongkong.
He maintained that the voyage was not ille-
gal, and that as Sasebo was within the limits
prescribed in the articles plaintiff was bound
to proceed there; that there was no evidence
that the cargo was intended for the use of a
belligerent power, or that Sasebo was a block-
aded port; that plaintiff was not justified in
his refusal to proceed with the vessel from
Hongkong; and that, having refused, he was
not entitled to recover the amount claimed.
The Stipendiary Magistrate at Cardiff had
held that the risk which defendant knew and
did not disclose to plaintiff placed the voyage
outside the terms of the contract into which
the parties had entered, and defendant's
omission to disclose such material information
constituted a breach of contract which justi-
fied plaintiff's refusal to proceed from Hong-
kong to Sasebo. He was also of the opinion
that such breach entitled plaintiff to treat it
as an end of the engagement within section
134 oC the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, but
as it had been mutually agreed that the en-
gagement should not be terminated, and this
agreement contained no waiver by plaintiff
of his right to wages and maintenance, the
engagement was not terminated till plaintiff
was discharged at Cardiff, on the 4th of
March, 1905. Judgment was given for plain-
tiff, with costs. Defendant now appealed.
Their lordships dismissed the appeal, with
costs. The Lord Chief Justice, in giving
judgment, said thai when it became known
to the crew at Hongkong that they would
he subjected to the risk' of capture, they could
not be compelled to go on at the same wages
or under the same articles, and in these cir-
cumstances lie held that the crew were justi-
fied in doing what they had done. Leave to
appeal was granted.
The shipping companies at Piume, Hungary,

and work was resumed on February 11 in all
trades.

WEDNESDAY,
FEBRUARY 28, 1906.
VOTE ON SUBSIDY BILL.
The vote on the Ship Subsidy bill, in the
United States Senate on February 14, indi-
cated an almost total disregard of the question
of efficiency as a factor in the manning system
provided by the bill. As originally presented,
the bill provided that on subsidized vessels
"at least one-sixth of the crew shall be citi-
zens of the United States, or men who have
declared their intention to become citizens,
and of the deck force, excluding licensed offi-
cers, at least one-half shall be able-seamen,
who are hereby defined to be men who have
had two years' or more experience at sea on
deck." This feature was amended at the in-
stance of Senator Gallinger, the chief sponsor
of the bill, so as to read as follows :
That upon each departure of said vessel from the
United States at least one-sixth of the crew shall be
citizens of the United States, or men who have de-
clared their intention to become citizens, and of the
navigating force on deck, excluding licensed officers,
at least one-half shall be able-seamen, who are hereby
defined to be men who have had two years' or more
experience on deck at sea or on the Great Lakes.
The defectiveness of this provision (-(insists
in the small proportion of able-seamen (one-
half) in the deck crew, in the short experi-
ence (two years) required as a qualification of
the able-seaman, and in the absence of an age
limit. Senator Spooner offered as an amend-
ment the Seamen's proposal, as follows:
Provided, That except in the case of steamers navi-
gating rivers exclusively at least 75 per cent of the
navigating crew, exclusive of licensed officers, shall
be individually effective hands — that is, of a rating
not less than able-seaman, and no one shall be signed
as an able-seaman unless he shall be 19 or more years
of age and shall have served at least three years on
deck at sea or on the Great Lakes.
This amendment was defeated by an aye
and nay vote. Thus the manning provision of
the Subsidy bill stands as proposed by Sena-
tor Gallinger. Senator Spooner also moved to
amend the bill by striking out those sections
which make it obligatory upon subsidized ves-
sels to carry a certain proportion of Naval
Reserve men in their crews, also providing for
the compulsory service of Naval Reseve men
in the merchant marine. Both of these pro-
posed amendments were defeated by an aye
and nay vote.
As will be noted by the report of the de-
bate, as reprinted in this issue, Senator
Spooner made a particularly vigorous fight
against the provision that men who might not
be able to show any service at sea dining a
given year, but who were otherwise eligible
for the Naval Reserve, would be entitled to
receive one-half of the annual retainer. The
Senator characterized this provision as an
"indefiniteness of generosity,'' comparing un-
favorably with the "tenderness and consider-
ateness" ( !) of the treatment accorded the
merchant seaman in the past, and moved to
strike it out. This amendment was agreed to
by a vote of 34 to 30—25 not voting. Willi
this exception, all the proposals offered by
Senator Spooner on behalf of the seamen were
rejected.
Of the numerous amendments offered just
prior to the final vote, the most important was
that proposed by Senator Patterson, who
moved the addition of a new section, as fol-
lows :
Sec. — . No subvention, compensation, or subsidy
provided for in this Act shall be paid for any steam-
ship or other ship that carries any Chinese as part
of its deck force or crew.
As originally proposed, this amendment
was designed to bar all Mongolians from the
subsidized vessels. Upon the showing that
that term would operate to exclude the Japan-
ese, Senator Patterson agreed to confine his
proposal to the Chinese. After considerable
debate the amendment was put to a vote, and
defeated by 47 to 17 — 25 not voting. Follow-
ing is the detailed vote on the proposal t<> ex-
clude Chinese from the deck crews of subsi-
dized vessels:

lory, Martin, Money, Proctor. Tillman, Warren.
Senator Patterson made a very intelligent
argument in favor of his amendment The
large vote cast against the proposal to exclude
the Chinese was due in part to a repetition of
the old contention that American seamen "can
not stand the climate" on the routes traversed
by Chinese-manned vessels. For instance,
Senator Frye, objecting to Senator Patter-
son's amendment, said: "lie (Patterson)
knows perfectly well that no American can be
hired on a steamship as a stoker"! Senator
Patterson pointed out the mistake of the Sen-
ator from Maine ; but, of course, the facts pro-
duced by the Senator from Colorado could
not be expected to outweigh the prestige of
the Senate's recognized "maritime author-
ity." So the Senate voted that ships subsid-
ized to "promote the National defense" and
to "create a Naval Reserve" may continue to
carry Chinese crews.
Following is the vote cast on the passage of
the bill in the Senate:

lory, Martin, Money, Proctor, Tillman.
A characteristic feature of the debate on the
Subsidy bill was the attitude assumed toward
the seamen by Senators Gallinger and Frye.
Tins.' gentlemen, when forced by Senator
Spooner to defend the fallacies of their pet
measure, betrayed a state of mind entirely out
of sympathy with the present generation of
seamen. In the judgment of the distinguished
Senators the American seamen of to-day are
so many "foreigners," "as wild as hawks."
and so forth. These expressions of contempt
indicate the difficulty of the seamen's ease in
the United States Senate. The "Furuseth in-
cident" is but another straw in the wind. It
is gratifying to know that Senator Spooner
was at all times master of the situation. The
Senator from Wisconsin, by his analysis of
the bill and defense of the proposals to amend
it in the interest of greater efficiency in the
manning system, produced an impression
which is certain to bear fruit in the near fu-
ture. Both the seamen and the public may
congratulate themselves upon the advent of
Senator Spooner in the field of maritime leg-
islation. Assured of the support of those
members of the Senate who by ability and
singleness of purpose have won their way to
intellectual leadership in that body, the sea-
men and their friends may well regard the re-
cent action on the Ship Subsidy bill as a step
in the direction of legislation upon intelligent
lines. The Ship Subsidy bill itself is tin-
purest empiricism, but the debate and vote mi
that measure indicate the dawn of a moral
sentiment that must ultimately triumph.
The Labor Clarion, of San Francisco, with
the beginning of its fifth year, appears in im-
proved dress and enlarged by the addition of
a tastefully-designed cover. The Clarion.
under the able management of Editor O'Neill,
has advanced to the front ranks of the labor
press. Editorially and mechanically the
Clarion is a worthy representative of the great
labor movement of San Francisco and Cali-
fornia. We congratulate our esteemed eon-
temporary upon having justified the confi-
dence and realized the expectations id' its
founders.
The virtual kidnaping of Brothers Mover
and Haywood, of the Western Federation of
Miners, is but another indication of tin- design
of the mine-owning interests to destroy organ-
ization among their employes, even at the cost
of human life. The Journal joins the public
demand that Moyer, Haywood and all other
persons accused of complicity in tin- assassi-
nation of ex-Governor Steunenberg shall be ac-
corded a fair trial.
Our readers should not miss the lecture by
Capain W. V. Carmichael, in Lyric Hall. S.-m
Francisco, to-night (Wednesday). Captain
Carmichael, a long-time resident in China, has
much to say that will interest and instruct all
who desire to increase their information on
the subject of Chinese character and the rela-
tion of that subject to American policy. Ad-
mission 25 cents.
By order of the meeting held at Headquar-
ters on February 26, the members of the Sail-
ors' Union in all ports will vote on March 12
on the question as to whether or not the pres-
ent agreement with the Steamship Association
shall be renewed for another year. This ques-
tion is of great importance, and all members,
especially those sailim.' in steam-schooners.
should make a point of registering their will
in the matter.

6TH OF MARCH PROGRAMME.
The Committee on Arrangements of the 6th
of March celebration has completed the pro-
gramme for the observance of the twenty-first
anniversary of the Sailors' Union of the Paci-
fic. As usual, the leading feature of the day
will be a torchlight parade in uniform, start-
ing from Headquarters at 8 p. m. Treasurer
Ed. Andersen will act as Grand Marshal, with
H. Lundberg as aide. The parade will be
formed into an Advance Guard of twenty-four
men and two companies, each composed of 250
men. The Advance Guard will be captained
by E. A. Erickson. Company A will be cap-
tained by D. M. Paul, and Company B by R.
Tunnell. A band of twelve pieces will head
each company.
The line of march will be from Headquar-
ters, along East street to Folsom Street Dock,
where a halt will be made in honor of the
famous "lumber pile" on which the Union was
formed; Steuart to Market, to O'Farrell, to
Powell, to Eddy, to Lyric Hall. The hall will
be handsomely decorated for the occasion.
Grand Marshal Andersen will introduce the
chairman of the evening, W. Macarthur. The
speakers are: Wm. P. McCabe, Secretary of
the San Francisco Labor Council ; H. W. Hut-
ton, the Union's legal counsel; Alfred Fuhr-
man, a former member of the Union and now
a leading attorney of San Francisco; James H.
Barry, editor of The Star, and one of the
Union's oldest and warmest friends; Hon.
James G. Maguire, former Member of Con-
gess, and author of the Maguire Act; Hon.
Edward J. Livernash, also a former Member
of Congress, and well known for his work in
that body on behalf of the seamen. Miss
Louisa Grossett, of Berkeley, Cal., will ren-
der several vocal numbers during the evening.
A band will be in attendance during the even-
ing, and act as escort back to Headquarters.
Drill will be held in the* Sailors' Union Hall
at 2 o'clock every afternoon during the pres-
ent week. All members in port are urged to
attend drill, in order that the best possible ap-
pearance may be made on the streets. The ar-
rangements assure a very successful celebra-
tion of the Union's birthday. Each member
should do his individual best to "make assur-
ance doubly sure."

faithfulness and by an intelligent understanding of
their duties as sailor men on that ship.
I have been connected for many years with the
transportation business on the Pacific Coast. We had
3,000 sailors at one time in our employ, and there was
not an engineer on a ship who did not come up there
from a water-tender or a fireman. There was not a
captain or a mate or a boatswain on that ship who did
not come through the forecastle and work himself up
to th(! position lie held as an officer. That is the right
kind of spirit to have in the sailor men, and I join the
Senator from Wisconsin and the Senator from Maine
and other Senators in giving a dignity, if T might use
the expression, to the profession of a. seaman, for it
requires great personal courage, skill, and application
if he would rise and excel in his profession.
Mr. PEYE. Mr. President—
The VICE-PBESIDBNT. Does the Senator from
Wisconsin yield to the Senator from Maine?
Mr. SPOONER. Certainly.
Mr. FRYE. I simply wanted to inform the Senator
from Wisconsin that there is a bill now under con-
sideration by the Committee on Commerce and that,
letters have been received from all over the country
asking to be heard on that very bill, and the bill deals
with the very subject the Senator is now talking about.
There will be hearings in the committee lor at least
two or three weeks on the very question which the
Senator is arguing, and I hope the Senator will attend
the hearings and hear the other side, if there is any
other side.
Mr. SPOONER. Mr. President, I am very glad to
have yielded to the distinguished Senator from Cali-
fornia | Mr. PERKINS]. He referred to me and my
knowledge as a distinguished admiralty lawyer. I
never tried an admiralty case in my life.
Mr. PERKINS. The Senator has the ability to try
one, at. any rate.
Mr. SPOONER. I have lived in a region where the
only vessel was a prairie schooner or a Milwaukee
schooner [laughter], and I do not, in what 1 present to
the Senate on this subject, speak from experience or
technical knowledge. But there is one Senator here
who out of large experience could give the Senate
much information, and that is the distinguished Sena-
tor from California, who is not only a distinguished
Senator, but, 1 was about to say, an Ancient Mariner.
I will not say that, however, because that would he a
charge of age which the Senator's appearance success-
fully refutes. But I did not learn from the Senator's
observations whether he is in favor of or opposed to
the amendment which I read in the presence of the
Senate.
Mr. PERKINS. I am in favor of the amendment.
Mr. SPOONER. 1 am profoundly grateful, Mr.
President, that I have been able to bring the distin-
guished Senator from California, and the only mem-
ber of the Senate, so far as 1 know, who has ever
served as a sailor, to the support of this proposition.
1 shall offer it now with sublime faith that it will be
adopted. 1 move to strike out all of subdivision 3, on
page 8, after the word "citizen," in the twenty-first
line, and to insert the following:
Provided, That except in the case of steamers navi-
gating rivers exclusively at least 75 per cent, of the
navigating crew, exclusive of licensed officers, shall be
individually effective hands — that is, of a rating not
less than able-seaman; and no one shall be signed as
an able-seaman unless he shall be lit years or more of
age and shall have served at least three years on deck
at sea or on the Great Lakes.
The Senator from New Hampshire will observe that
L have, by this amendment, attempted to open the
door, which his bill closes and locks, to the sailors of
the Great Lakes, to make it possible tor them to enter
that part of the merchant marine of the United States
which is to draw this bounty during the years which
the Government shall pay it. There is no stormier sea,
no more dangerous navigation, to be found anywhere
than on the Great Lakes. There are men — and they
made their skill and their presence known in the late
war with Spain — in great numbers on the Great Lakes
— men from Wisconsin, from Minnesota, from Michi-
gan, from Ohio, and from »ther States — as competent
to handle ships on the great seas as they are on the
Great Lakes.
There is no reason why any bill should be drawn
upon this subject which with studious care excludes
them, and it surprised me a little that they should be
excluded when we remember not only their fitness and
the splendid character of the school of seamanship in
which they are educated, but the fact that only last
session Congress passed this proposition with that ele-
ment of eligibility service on the Great Lakes in it
and this bill leaves it out. I can not suppose it was
intended to narrow the operation of this bill to the
Atlantic or the Pacific Coast, but certainly a broad
spirit of the legislation ought to seek to bring to the
service of the Government in time of peace and in
time of war sailors from everywhere in the United
States. So I hope that proposition will be adopted.
I wish to offer two more amendments to the bill,
each of which involves the same proposition, and I
shall have finished. I move to strike out subdivision
6, on page 9, and at the top of page 10 ; I also move to
strike out section 7, beginn:ng in line 19, on page 15,
and extending to line 7, on page 16.
Those are sections which require as a condition pre-
cedent to the payment of the bounty or subvention,
that the master of the ship shall employ and have on
the ship one-eighth, one-sixth, and ultimately one-
fourth of the Naval Reserve. It says ' ' one-fourth of
the crew." I believe that would be a very large num-
ber under the statutory definition of ' ' crew ' ' and un-
der the definition of "crew," as given by Judge Story
in 3 Sumner, as comprising ' ' every one employed in
any capacity on a ship."
The master ought to be left free to employ mem-
bers of the Naval Reserve if he can get them and they
satisfy him. He ought to be left free to employ good
American sailors wherever they come from, whether
they have entered into this Naval enlistment or not.
The provision of the bill which proposes to pay
these men a bounty simply for having served six
months at sea, or, not having served a day at sea dur-
ing the year, in consideration of their contract to
serve in war if called upon, and to make their em-
ployment compulsory, is to put the Government in the
attitude of giving to a class not simply the open door
to an employment, but a governmental pressure for
employment to the exclusion of men just as capable
and just as patriotic.
There is a principle in it that is un-American; there
is a principle in it that may well force men to abandon
a career at sea in some measure, unless they shall have
enlisted in the Naval Reserve; and the more successful
this proposition for a Naval Reserve becomes, the
more men who enter into it, the more pronounced and
intensified will be the injustice worked by it or
through it to Americans capable of splendid service
at sea, in time of peace and in time of war, but who
nevertheless do not care to enter the Naval Reserve
ami to collect from the Government this retainer, as
it is called, which they will not earn, and which they
have not nske<! for, and which they do not want. It
ought, to be omitted.

Three Freighters for 1907.
Contracts for three steel freighters to eosl
$1,500,000, in be larger than any of the ves-
sels thai have been ordered for the Lake trade
up to date, w< re booked by the American
Shipbuilding Company recently for 1!)07 de-
livery, or more than a year ahead of time.
The order for the monster carriers was
placed by the Western Transit Company, of
Tonawanda, of which Charles A. Weston is
President; L. S. DeGraf, Vice-President, and
W. N. Mills, Treasurer and General Manager.
The officials of the company are stockholders
in the Tonawanda Iron and Steel Company
and have other interests in the iron trade.
The steamers will he the largest on the
Lakes and, with two exceptions, they will be
the only boats to have lid feet beam. They
Will be (it).") feet over all, 585 feet keel. CO feet
beam and 'V2 feet deep. They will have :{(>
hatches spaced 12 feet centers. The new boats
will have the same power as the big steamers
building for the Pittsburg Steamship Co.
They will have vertical triple expansion en-
gines with cylinders 24.39 and 65 inches, with
42-inch stroke.
Each of the steamers will have two Scotch
boilers 15 feet 4 1-2 inches in diameter and
11 1-2 feet long. The boilers, which will he
allowed 200 pounds pressure, will have Mor-
rison suspension furnaces and will be fitted
with the Ellis & Eaves induced draft.
The big freighters which will be up to date
in every way are expected to carry 13,000
cross tons on nineteen feet. They will be of
arch construction and will have straight sides
in the hold. Their hatch covers, which will
be of steel, will be operated by steam.
The steamers will have steel cabins forward
and aft on the spar deck. They will be fitted
with a main steam steering gear and an auxil-
iary steam steering gear. Their capstans and
windlasses will be operated by steam and they
will have mooring engines. Bach of the boats
will have a double electric plant.
According to the contract, which was signed
at Buffalo, the steamers will be completed and
ready for business on April 1, 1907. The of-
ficers of the Shipbuilding Company Have not
decided where the boats will be built. The
new boats will be owned by practically the
same people that own the steamer William A.
Rogers which came out last season and the 11.-
000-ton steamer Charles A. Weston which is
building at the Bay City yard.
Some more figuring for new ships is being
done and more orders may be placed for the
opening of navigation.

Steamers Sold.
'I'he American Shipbuilding Company has
sold the steel steamers Minnctonka an 1 Min-
newaska to Jerome & Hill, of San Francisco.
The deal was closed in New Fork recently,
but the purchase price was not given out. The
boats will be taken to Newport News, where
they will be converted into oil tankers before
they sail for the Pacific Coast.
'I'he steamers Miunetonka and Minnewaska,
which cost about $450,000 each, were built
at Cleveland, <>.. by the American Ship-
building Company. The boats were ordered
by Eastern parties and the American Naviga-
tion Company was organized to operate them.
The boats were built for transatlantic service
and their cargo capacity is about 7.000 ions
with about Loon tons fuel capacity on 25 feet
draft. They are 450 feel over all. 430 Eee1
keel. 4-'? feet beam and 35 feet deep. They
have four Scotch boilers each and triple ex-
pansion engines capable of developing about
3,000-horse power. After the steamers were
built they were cut in two and towed to
Quebec in sections, where they were put to-
gether and made ready for service on the At-
lantic. Mr. Robert Wallace had charge of the
work of taking the vessels to the coast and he
made the trip on both of the steamers.
The Minnctonka was the first of the steam-
ers to come out and she was taken to the coast
in the fall of 1901. The Minnewaska did mi
come out. until the following year, and she
went to the coast on the opening of navigation
in 1002.
'flic steamers made a number of trips but
they were not successful, and about three
years ago they were offered for sale and were
bought by the officials of the American Ship-
building Company. The boats were sold in
Cleveland.
The Minnctonka and Minnewaska have been
laid up at South Brooklyn for the past two
years. A number of Lake vesselmen were
st< ckholders in the American Navigation Com-
pany.
Big Plans BlocKed.
Anti-StriKe-BreaKers Bill.
Representative Reynolds, of Cuyahoga
County, 0., has introduced a bill at Colum-
bus to compel employers, when advertising for
men to take strikers' places, to state tie' facl
that the men are wanted as strike-breakers,
and to prohibit the importing of armed strike-
breakers into Ohio. As may be readily under-
stood, the Employers' Association of Cleve-
land is fighting the bill. According to the
Cleveland Press. P. H. Frankel. Secretary "(
the Employers' Association, said: "The bill
is the handiwork of a unionist representing
union people only. There is absolutely noth-
ing decent about it." Representative Rey-
nolds asks: "Why should an honest employer
object to letting the men know the actual con-
dition before shipping them away from their
homes T' Mr. Frankel has not answered, and
probably will not. The curions part of this
affair is not the reply of Mr. Frankel. but
that the Employers' Association, or any one
else, should have nerve enough to oppose the
bill. W. H- -T.
Annoying delay to further extensive in-
pTOVe llts of lockage facilities at the Sou will
result if speedy end is not had to the litigation
now in progress between the United States
Government and rival power 'companies oper-
ating in or about the St. Mary's Rapids.
This has been forcefully impressed on the
Lake Carrier's Association by Colonel C. E.
L. B. Davis. United States Engineer, and it is
not improbable that the Association will urge
advancement of the case before the Court of
Appeals at Washington.
There is now available for additional work
the sum of $1,200,000, but this will not be
used until the matter of title to the two islands
out. in the Rapids is settled and the status of
power companies along the bank of the river
is determined. It is planned to double the
width of the canal above the locks, but this has
waited a year and may be delayed another
season if prompt decision is not had. 'I'he
project for a new canal north of the present
Poe lock is also held up. In fact, present lit i-
gation is blocking all improvements at the
So,,.
It was desired to determine title to islands
Nos. 1 and 2 in the St. Marys Rapids, where
the Edison Sault Electric Company holds per-
mits to carry on certain operations and desires
to obtain more permits. Judge Wanty failed
to pass on this point, but decided that the
connecting stream, commonly known as "St.
Marys River," is a river, ami not merely a
connecting link in the chain of Lakes. This, if
upheld, would give owners of land along the
bank rights out to the center of the stream.
This was obviously not satisfactory to the Gov-
ernment, and certainly not to the Lake Car-
riers' Association, which is taking the stand
that all land from the Poe lock north to the
international boundary be acquired by the
Government. It was not altogether pleasing
to the rival power companies, inasmuch as
title to the islands is still clouded.
Demand the union label on all products.
Boats for Canadian Line.
Three new passenger steamers costing about
$1,000,000, are to be added to the fleet of the
Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company, of
Montreal. Tenders for the new steamers will
be let shortly. One of the new steamers will
be asister-ship to the Montreal, to run between
Montreal and Quebec. There will also be a
boat to ply between Brockville and Montreal,
running all the St. Lawrence rapids, and a
boat for the Hamilton-Montreal line. Some of
the leading English shipbuilders will bt in-
vited to make bids. The steamer for the Mon-
treal-Quebec line will be a trifle larger than
the steamer Montreal. Her dimensions are
expected to be 400 feet long and 80 feet over
the guards. She will have about 350 state-
rooms and is expected to be ready for the sea-
son of 1907. The new boat for the rapids will
be full canal size. li-h". feet long. 44 feet beam
and (1 feet draft. It is expected her speed will
be seventeen or eighteen miles per hour. 'I'he
management hopes to have her in commission
by nest July. The new boat of the Hamilton-
Montreal freight and passenger route will also
be full canal size. She will have about 100
staterooms and carry about 1,000 tons ot
freight.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Accidents at Sea.
That accidents at sea are due in some de-
gree to a vicious system, or lack of system.
in the appointment and promotion of officers
on merchant vessels, is charged by Dr. T. Du-
pny, who writes on the subject in the Revue
Scientifique (Paris, December 23). What lie
says applies, of course, wholly to the French
merchant marine, but it is not without inter-
est to other countries where favortism and
incompetence on shipboard are not unknown.
The remedies Dr. Dupuy finds in a marine
civil service, in which each officer shall have
entrusted to him the particular command or
duty that be has been proved most competent
to perform. This involves a certain increase
in State supervision, which the writer justi-
fies. He says:
"One of the most important guaranties "I'
safety at sea is the knowledge and skill of tie'
commander. All sailors, even the greatest
authorities, have not the same conception of
these two qualities; this may easily he ex-
plained by considering the recent rapid de-
velopment of steam navigation, while condi-
tions have been practically stationary for sail-
ing vessels."
For these diverse duties, the author notes,
the candidates for a captain's license must
pass precisely the same examination; experi-
ence counts for more than anything else, yet
one license is supposed to cover all. Once in
command of a vessel, he finds himself hamper-
ed by companies, directors and all sorts of
landsman officials— fruitful sources of acci-
dent, the writer asserts. Favoritism alone.
though it may be rare, may alone bring about
disastrous consequences. 1 Ie says :
"We could cite the career of such a cap-
tain, commanding a passenger steamer on one
of the most crowded lines, who lias in his rec
ord the loss of many vessels. Is that a guar-
anty of safety for the passengers who are en-
trusted in his care? We may be permitted
to doubt whether those familiar with these an-
tecedents would embark without disquietude
on a vessel so commanded.
"This example, amid many others nol less
to the point, leads to the principal conclusion
that I desire to announce, namely, that com-
panies should not be allowed to give the com-
mand of their ships to any captain of their
choice, without other guaranty and other
control than that of his license, as
is now permitted by law. The com-
panies should not plead the right of
individual liberty and of the free dis-
position of their own goods; they are doing a
public service in a public domain, and it is
always understood that when such duties are
in danger of falling into incapable or inap-
preciative hands, the State must step in and
exercise control. Now in the present state of
things the guaranty given to a commander by
his rank of captain alone is shown to be insuf-
ficient; the public authorities recognize this,
since they are talking of reforms; now here,
we think, is how these should be brought
a 1 tout.
"First of all. by suppression, pure and
simple, of captain's and officer's licenses. . . .
By creation of a graded corps beginning al
the foot of the scale with a rank corresponding
to that of the present merchant marine ap-
prentice, and continuing through those of
third, second and first lieutenants, to those of
second captain and commander. Each step
of this grade should be made only after a
stated period of navigation and after a test of
skill by examination. . . .
"The corps should be divided according to
specialties, as, for example, into officers of
steam navigation and officers of sail naviga-
tion. The same person should have access to
both arms of the service. . . .
"There would not be so much innovation and
revolution in such a reform as might at first
lie thought. It would in fact be only the of-
ficial regulation of a state of things that al-
ready exists, and the substitution of State for
corporation control, without the actual sup-
pression of the latter. The companies would
still remain free to choose any officer that had
risen by merit to the proper grade, but they
could not entrust the duties of that grade to
an officer who could not justify his appoint-
ment by ability to pass a corresponding ex-
amination; there would thus be a sort of modi-
fication of the possibility of advancement by
favor or by seniority alone.
"Of course the division of commanders ac-
cording to specialties would be only official
consecration of the present custom of those
companies that employ captains "by preference
in duties that they know the best and where
tiny have the greatest skill."
Under such a regime as ibis, the writer
thinks, commanders would acquire a degree of
independence, which, without prejudice to
the interests of any one, would enable them to
care more systematically for their own safety
and that of their vessels and passengt rs. S
of the results he specifies as follows:
"We should no longer see passenger vessels
take on dynamite with their cargoes and pul-
verize human bodies and goods with a for-
midable explosion only a few miles out. as hap-
pened recently on the Bambara almost in sight
of Marseilles. We should no longer see ships
leave port overloaded, their load-line being
submerged below water, absolutely paralyzed
against the assaults of the sea and engulfed
soon after doubling the first cape, as was the
case with the Lybia, which crossed the Black
Sea overloaded, took on a deck-load of old iron
at Constantinople, and was never heard of
after passing the Dardanelles. We should no
longer see the Mediterranean vessels Leave
.Marseilles with only two officers, who. over-
whelmed with a multiplicity of duties, are
forced to abandon their work to inexperienced
subordinates, and are therefore wrecked on
the nearest islands, like the Libau, whose losv
we are still mourning. We should never find
firemen complaining to the public authorities
that their chief engineers force them to keep
up a pressure above the capacity id' the boil-
ers. AVe should see no more rotten hulls, no
more life-belts iu tatters, taken hastily from
some corner and thrown on the deck whenever
some accident has aroused the attention of the
Inspection officers. With more liberty we
should see less low complaisance, less coward-
ce and less lying; we schould see more justice
and at the same time more Becurity and more
confidence."— Literary Digest.
The New South Wales Arbitration Court
recently awarded the operative plasterers a
minimum wage of Is. 3d. per hour, with l>4d.
an hour extra for tunnel, sewer or shaft work,
and Is. per day for country work. Pro-
vision was also made for the payment of less
than the minimum wage to workers who from
any cause are unable to earn that amount,
thus refuting the allegations that Arbitration
and other industrial legislation prevents old,
infirm or incompetent workers from getting
employment.

the long-debated bill providing for work
ingmen 's pensions.
At Brisbane, Australia, recently the
master of the steamer Hudson was fined
£i) and £2 5s. costs, for allowing a pro
hibited immigrant (a Chinese sailor) to
enter the commonwealth.
The Commercial Court at Widzewo,
Poland, has ordered the Coates thread
factory to pay the wages of 800 em
[.loves during the recent ten weeks' sus-
pension of work. The company
"shortage of coal" as the excuse for the
lav off, but the court found that it was
the high price of coal which induced the
closing of the works, and that this was
not a good reason.
The industrial conference (Paria
ment of Labor) convened by the \.
Zealand Government for February, will
be attended by '.<7 employers' represen
tatives and 37 delegates from the work-
ers' organizations. The Cabinet has de-
cided that the voting power at the eon
ference shall be equal. Tariff reform,
compulsory insurance, and the operation
of the labor laws will be among the sub
jeets to be discussed.
The Merchant Service Guild of Aus-
tralasia (union of steamer officers, from
masters down to fourth mates) has put in
a claim for higher wages, per medium of
the Federal Arbitration Court. The
Shipowners' Association is resisting the
demands upon the ground that they "are
altogether excessive," being an advance
in pay ranging from 20 to 30 per cent.
This probably will be the first industrial
dispute decided under the Federal Arbi-
tration Act.
A telegram from Antofagasta, Chili',
says that the railroad laborers at Oruro,
Bolivia, are on strike and that fifty men
are said to have been killed during riot-
ing there. The authorities are attempt-
ing to pacify the strikers. Cruisers have
betn ordered to Antofagasta with troops.
The strike of ship stokers which be-
gan at Finnic, Hungary, some time
for an increase of wages has now be-
come general in the local shipyards.
Over 7000 men are out. The strikers are
compelling the shops to close, and the
troops are guarding the property. The
Hungarian and Croatian Company has
agreed to make the required advance of
wages, but the men refused to return to
work unless an unpopular foreman was
discharged. Work at Fiume is practical-
ly at a standstill.
A circular letter signed by J. C. Wat-
son and Frank Tudor, leader and
tary of the Australian Federal Labor
party respectively, has been sent to the
Commonwealth Labor Councils, advocat-
ing the adoption of a uniform trade-
union label by the workers of the Com-
monwealth. The Federal members give
reasons in support of the proposal and
point out that early action is necessary
to consider whether the trade councils
will adopt one union label, and agree up-
on the necessary constitution to permit
registration of same.
The trade-unionists of Christinnia,
Norway, after many years of planning
and deliberating to acquire a Labor Tem-
ple, have at last agreed upon a definite
project. A large, modern building,
trally located, has been purchased for the
sum of 200,000 crowns. The alterations
and additions to the building will cost
approximately 1 70,000 crowns. When re
modeled the building will contain a largo
number of offices and halls specially
equipped for union business. The largi st
hall will have a seating capacity of 1400.
It is expected that the new trade-union
home will be ready for occupancy before
August 1, 1907, when the next Scandina-
vian labor convention will be held in
Christiania.

THE SAILORS' ANNIVERSARY.
Twenty-One Years of Stirring' History.
Dreams That Were Dreamed; Deeds That Are Done.
TWENTY-ONE YEARS! A long time to come,
a short time passed! To the survivors of the
men who gathered on Folsom Street Dock, in
San Francisco, on March 6, 1885, the birth
of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific seems like an
event of yesterday.
Yet, when we turn back the pages of memory —
each with its annotations in blood or tears — and note
the history there recorded, we realize that, lightly as
we may salute the Past, we must pay the tribute of
stern and patient labor to every moment of the
Present.
Time deals kindly only with its creditors. The
Sailors' Union rejoices in the record of these twenty-
one years, because it has paid the debt and done the
duty of every day and hour during that period.
The men who gathered around the lumber-pile on
Folsom Street Dock were dreamers in their day. The
vision of liberty was revealed to minds enslaved by
tradition — and it was the brighter on that account.
These men dreamed of a union of seamen, a union
which should embrace the men of their craft in all
capacities, in all waters, and under all flags. A
dream! A vagary! A figment of the imagination!
Be it so. Thank God it is so! These men dream-
ed, and went to work in their dream. If we may
judge by results, the seamen have not yet awakened.
May we hope they never will. Again we say, thank
God for the dream that inspires and enables men to
DO the thing that is impossible of performance, and
even of conception, to the waking mind.
The task of organizing the seamen of the Pacific
Coast was of itself sufficient to discourago any but
the most pronounced enthusiast. Conditions among
the seamen on the Coast were bad, very bad. But
the very badness of the situation was its redeeming
feature. Degraded manhood, like the smoldering
embers of a fire, will flare up before it dies. Thus
it was that the seamen on the Pacific Coast, as they
listened to the gospel of trade-unionism and reflected
upon their lot, felt glow within them the last spark
of self-respect, which, with assiduous fanning, burst
into the strong, clear flame of regeneration.
The Coast Seamen 's Union, as the organization was
first named, had its birth amid the serious misgivings
of its friends and founders. Attempts had previously
been made to organize the seamen, and had failed.
It was feared, and in some quarters predicted, that
the new union would go the way of its predecessors,
that the itching palm would prove too much for the
longing heart, or that the "natural" conditions of
the seamen would prevent them from "sticking to-
gether. ' '
Of course, these predictions were not without justi-
fication in experience. But of what account is ex-
perience to the man who is fired by the "sweet
dream of peace!" Of what account is the ex-
perience of failure in any human endeavor, except to
inspire the hope of success! The Const Seamen's
Union disappointed the fears of its friends and the
hopes of its enemies. From the day of its birth it
took root and flourished like the proverbial green bay.
The seamen, once possessed of their new-found
power, went to work on a large scale. The basic evil
of that time — as of to-day wherever the seamen still
remain unorganized — was the crimping system. The
crimp was attacked with vigor and enthusiasm. With-
in a month after the birth of the Union a shipping-
office was opened, with the object of providing a
means whereby seamen and shipmasters might come
together without the interference of the crimp or any
other third party. Of course, the Union shipping-
office was opposed by the crimp. Of course, too, the
new plan was not entirely favored by shipmaster and
shipowner. The combined opposition of these factors
threatened to wreck the Union 's first venture. To
provide a means of sustenance for the seamen who
were thrown on the streets by the crimps, as part of
the plan to destroy the shipping-office, the Union
started a boarding-house. Thus it was thought that
the Union could control the situation. But the ship-
ping-office that does no shipping and the boarding-
house that does nothing but board must come to an
end. In the three-to-one fight — shipowners, ship-
masters and crimps against the Union — the latter was
forced to acknowledge the defeat of its first attempt
at reform.
Various attempts of the same kind were made at
later periods, but with practically the same results.
In the negative sense, however, much good was achiev-
ed by these failures. The seamen learned ' ' how not to
do it. ' ' They learned after a good many hard knocks
that it is futile to hammer at effect while ignoring
cause. They learned that the crimping system had its
cause in the maritime law of the country, and, con-
sequently, that a victory gained at one point of that
system simply strengthened the institution in general.
Here it was that the seamen indulged another
dream. They dreamed of changing the law so as to
assure themselves the personal freedom necessary to
self-protection. The very idea ! Here was an insti-
tution— the institution of maritime law — as old as the
hills and as immutable as the laws of the Medes and
Persians. True, the maritime law had been altered;
not in the interest of the seamen, however, but in the
interest of the shipowner, as against that (if the sea-
men. So far as the latter were concerned the mari-
time law was a thing to touch which were treason
ami to criticise which were sheer sacrilege.
Yet, the seamen dreamed of making a change in an
institution thus sanctified by time, supported by the
"interests of commerce," and necessitated by the
"peculiar nature of their (the seamen's) calling!"
To many of the seamen's friends the job looked like
another labor of Hercules, like an attempt to amend
the Decalogue or a proposition to revise the Tariff.
But the seamen failed to realize the difficulties in
the way, as was natural in men who were merely
dreaming. The seamen continud to ((ream, and work.
In 1892 the task was begun. Just, three years later
the Maguire Act was signed by President Cleveland.
The dream had come true! That Act abolished im-
prisonment for desertion in the coastwise trade; it also
abolished allotment in the coastwise trade, and made
illegal that, old device of the crimp, the holding of a
seaman's clothing fur debt. Thus at one blow the
legal shackles were struck from the seaman's hands
and fed.
Henceforth the seaman has been free in his person,
free i" bis earnings and free in his tools, i. e., his kit.
Henceforth the crimp has never been as free as
formerly to control the seaman's destiny. Whatever
power the crimp still enjoys is vested in him, \ery
largely at least, by the seaman himself, imt by the
la \x .
Of course, this victory was not achieved without
hard work. The seamen and their representatives at
Washington were confronted with powerful opposi-
tion at every step of the way. More than once that
opposition nearly awakened the seamen to the impos-
sibility (?) of their task. May blessings be upon the
head of Morpheus or whoever it was that kept these
men dreaming until their task was done!
At this point we may appropriately allude to the
establishment of the Coast Seamen 's Journal. That
was another dream — in fact, a sort of delirium. The
seamen saw themselves as others saw them, in the
popular ' ' sea story, ' ' and in that hardly less ex-
aggerated form of fiction, the daily press. The things
that the seamen said on the subject are not fit for
print, so we will pass them over, with the hope and be-
lief that they will be overlooked, or at least extenu-
ated, upon the ground of extreme provocation or justi-
fiable homicide.
Anyway, the seamen bethought them to "start a
paper. ' ' Did ever vaulting ambition so overleap it-
self ! And such a paper ! It was to be a seamen 's
paper, from truck to keel and from stem to stem.
The journalistic mouthpiece of the Union was de-
signed to protest against the wrongs and to champion
the rights of the seafaring craft in "thoughts that
breathe and words that burn." More than this, these
thoughts must be the seaman 's thoughts and these
words the seaman 's words. In brief, the seamen 's
paper must smell of the sea, not of the sanctum.
In 1887 the Coast Seamen's Journal was launched
upon the sea of journalism. The paper came to fill a
long-felt want, and it has been coming every week
ever since. The dream of a publication owned, con
trolled and edited entirely by seamen has become one
of the standing delusions of the age! Every week for
more than eighteen years a couple of "common
sailors" in the Journal office have indulged them-
selves in the fancy that they are getting out a paper.
Every week during the same period a large and appre-
ciative circle of readers imagines that it receives and
peruses the Journal, even being carried away to the
extent of paying a subscription now and then. A num-
ber of exemplary apostles of the "art preservative"
regularly go through the motions of "setting up" the
sheet, occasionally letting fall a purely imaginary ex-
pletive. The printer regularly dreams that he gets his
money, and thus the fiction is maintained from week
to week and from year to year. Where dreams are
deeds 'tis folly to awake !
The legislative work was kept up until, three years
later, another victory was won by the passage of the
White Act, which extended the main provisions of the
Maguire Act to the deep-water trade, besides effect-
ing many other improvements in the maritime law.
So much' for that institution. Now that they are
passed, the obstacles that loomed up like Teneriffe
are but so many points of departure in the wake of
progress. The maritime law has been not only re-
formed but revolutionized!
During the years of the Union's legislative work
many events occurred of equal importance in the his-
tory of the organization. The efforts to increase
wages, to resist reductions, to improve working con-
ditions on board ship and, in brief, to do the numer-
ous things that a trade-union is formed to do, and
which only a trade union can do, involved the Union
in a constant struggle from the day of its birth.
Throughout the varied fortunes of that, struggle, the
Union has kept dearly in view the ideal which was
conceived on the lumber pile twenty-one years ago.
The Brotherhood of the Sea has been the watchword
and inspiration at all times, in peace and in war, in
victory and in defeat. Each 6th of March marks a
lessening of the gulf between the ideal and its real-
ization, first, we aote the organizations of seamen
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
in other Bections of the [Jnited States, on the Great
Lakes and on the Atlantic Coast. With the establish-
ment of the International Seamen's Union of
America, in 1892, was treated a medium of communi-
cation and connection which lias ever since grown
stronger and more expansive, as one by one the sister
bodies — firemen, cooks and stewards, etc.— have been
embraced in its mighty fold.
Looking abroad, we note the growth of organization
among the seamen in all parts of the world. Great
Britain. Germany, Scandinavia, France, the Mediter-
ranean countries, Australia, South America— every-
where the seamen are rallying under the banner of
trade-unionism. Everywhere these kindred organiza-
tions look to the Pacific < 'oast as to the pillar of their
hopes.
The Sailors' Union of the Pacific, by its mere ex-
istence during these twenty-one years of stress and
trial, but more by its really marvellous achievements
in that comparatively short period of time, has more
than justified the 'hopes, more than realized the
dreams, of its founders. Tt has given the lie to that
ancient libel— the taunt of our enemies, the apology
of our friends— that the seamen "can't stick to-
gether." The Sailors' Union has proved that, once
they get together, the seamen can "stick together"
better than any other (lass of workers.
Much has been done; more remains to be done.
Let us keep on hoping, believing, dreaming that it can
be done, and it WTLL be done! Among the survivors
of that little band which tw. nty one years ago charg-
ed upon the battlements of vested wrong— and, thanks
to kind fate, a few of these are still above ground-
not one will be found to say that he then hoped to
stand beneath the Union flag where to-day it floats
bravely from the topmost parapet of the captured
citadel. Yet, there she flies, and here she stands, the
Sailors' Union, "strong and great," a thing
Delved in the almost hopeless longings of a lost race
and now the splendid structure of their hands!
Twenty-one years! How the time has passed!
How the" tale teems with deeds done and deeds begun!
Another like period will pass as quickly. Let the sea-
men of to-day determine that as the years pass thej
shall witness a constant devotion to and realization
of the ideal of a craft united in world-girdling bonds
of fellowship, a craft strong in the development of
manhood, a craft enjoying peace founded upon jus-
tice, a craft commanding the respect due to an honor-
able profession. Thus shall the victories of the future
outshine those of the past. Thus shall the world
awake to the realization that all is not a dream that is
conceived in hope and executed in courage and pa-

(For the Coast Seamen's Jodrkal.)
The annua] political Labor Conference lias
.just finished its yearly harangue to the
Gods of Labor. From my point of view, as
an observer from the outer fringe. I scarcely
believe that as rnueh good work has been
done by conference delegates this year as in
the past. The main speeches flavor too. much
of the theorist, with the result that the prac-
tical things which the average worker re-
quires are almost forgotten or ignored. The
Conference in its wisdom has carried one of
the requests of the Seamen's Union Delegates,
namely, that the Seamen be included in the
Workmen's Compensation Act.
Other subjects are, Franchise to Seamen,
the Abolition of "Shipping Fees," and San-
itary Inspection of Ships. It is peculiar that
no inspection takes place of the Coastal Ship-
ping. The franchise to the Seamen would be
a great boon to us here, as we could then get
decent Legislation. At present we are de-
nied a vote on account of not having the
qualification of residence, and the seamen who
have that vote are generally at sea on elec-
tion day. It would also give Cooks, Stew-
ards and passengers who are at sea an oppor-
tunity to vote. The idea originated and was
first introduced to the Seamen's Onion by
Sam Smith and Allan Cameron.
The Coal Lumpers here decided as a un-
ion to prohibit their members from working
any longer than 10 hours at a spell, so as to
give every member an opportunity of earn-
ing something every week. The result is be-
ing watched very closely by the maritime
workers, and all wish that the effect will be
beneficial to the members of that union.
The wool season is drawing to a ch.s
thai in a very short time there will he more
unemployed. I am free to say there are too
many workless workers here, even in the busy
time of the year. The wheat season will
probably last another two months, as there
has been a little friction with the stevedores
on the question of pay.
Shipping here is fairly brisk at present,
both Coastal and Deep Sea Seamen have
been fortunate in having Havel ock Wilson,
returned to power in England. It is under-
stood here that some of the labor members of
(lieat Britain are coming to Australia, so
that we are in for something good in the near
future.

Byron's First Speech.
From the first speech delivered by Byron,
iu the House of Lords, Keli. 27, 1812. on a hill
to make the destruction of machinery by
workmen punishable by death. The intro-
duction of machinery was then going on, and
thousands of men and women were being
thrown out of employment to starve.)
A iv we aware of our obligations to the
mob? It is the mob that labor in your fields
and serve in your business, that man your
Navy and recruit your Army, that have en-
abled you to defy all the world, and can also
defy you when neglect and calamity have
driven them to despair. I have traversed the
seat of war in the Peninsula. I have been in
some of the most oppressed provinces of Tur-
key, but never under the most despotic of
infidel governments did I behold such squalid
wretchedness as I have seen since my return
in the very heart of a Christian country.
And what are your remedies ? After months
of inaction, and months of action worse than
inactivity, at length comes forth the grand
specific, the never-failing nostrum of all state
physicians, from the days of Draco to the
present time. After feeling the pulse and
shaking the head over the patient, prescrib-
ing the usual course of warm water and bleed-
ing— the warm water of your mawkish police,
and the lancets of your military — these con-
vulsions must terminate in death, the sure,
consummation of the prescription of all po-
litical Sangrados. Are these the remedies for
a starving and desperate populace? Will the
famished wretch who has braved your bay-
onets be appalled by your gibbets?
The framers of such a bill must be content
to inherit the honors of that Athenian con-
queror, whose edicts were said to be written.
not in ink, but in blood. But suppose it pass-
ed, suppose one of these men as I have seen
them, meagre with famine, sullen with de-
spair, careless of a life which your lordships
are about to value at something less than the
price of a stocking frame, — suppose this man,
surrounded by the children for whom he is
unable to procure bread at the hazard of his
existence, about to be torn forever from a
family which he lately supported in peaceful
industry, and which it is not his fault he can
no longer so support, suppose this man — and
there are ten thousand such from whom you
may select victims — dragged into court to he
tried for this new offense, by this new law;
still there are two things wanting to convict
him, and these are. in my opinion, twelve
butchers for a jury, and a Jeffreys for a
judge !

The Spreading Jap.
An ex-resident of Honolulu, T. H., writing
to the New York Times, says:
The United States will have a new form of
the race problem to face if Japanese immi-
gration to Hawaii goes on unhindered. For
all practical purposes the Territory is a Jap-
anese territory, and any visitor will soon be-
come convinced of the truth of this assertion.
The brown men number 70,000 souls, scattered
throughout the entire Territory, with repre-
sentatives in every hamlet and village of the
group. Their appearance in any town, as a
general rule, has been followed within a short
period by the departure to other shores of the
Americans, whose labor was undersold and
standard of living undermined by the new-
comers. Nearly all the skilled labor of the
Islands is now being performed by Japanese,
whereas a few years ago it was all being done
by Hawaiians, Portuguese and Americans.
The second-generation Portuguese, children
of those who were brought over twenty years
ago for plantation-work, make fine citizens,
educated, as they have been, in the public
schools; but since they demand $30 a month
for their services, and the Japs will work
for $14 without board, the Portuguese are no
longer employed on the plantations. Their
work in the cities is also being undermined,
and they are leaving in large numbers by
every steamer for Mexico, Canada, and the
States, where they hope to find a civilization
still free from Asiatic views and still paying
living wages to white men willing to do a
white man's work. Most Americans who have
attempted to make their way in Hawaii since
the American ascendancy there have found it
useless, and have left for other places. In
1897 there were 24,407 Japs in the Islands;
by 1900 they had increased to 61,115, while
the Chinese numbered 25,762, and the Ha-
waiians of all shades and colors 54,141.
To-day there are in round numbers 70,000
Japs, 28,000 Chinese and 30,000 Hawaiians.
As against these 100,000 Asiatics there are
12,74!» white people, including English, Ger-
man, French and till other Europeans. In
1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904 the number of Jap
children in the schools had increased 116 per
cent., the Chinese children 28 per cent, the
Portuguese 14 per cent., and the American,
English, German and other European children
only 12 per cent.
According to the 1900 census there were
9,000 native-born Asiatics, all of whom will
have full rights of citizenship in a few years.
The Merchants' Association demonstrated in
addition thai the Asiatic "invasion" had re-
sulted in competition disastrous to all but
the immediate sugar interests, and that as a
consequence of the surplus labor (which num-
bers nearly f>0,000) those engaged in profes-
sional mechanical, and mercantile pursuits
were being ousted by the cheaper undesirables.
The quest ion involved are thus seen to embrace
the important, one as to who shall populate
and control these islands in the future.
The situation in Hawaii is but one of the
many indications that the time is approach-
ing when the cheap labor of the Asiatics will
make more acute the wage problem all over
the world.
In consequence of the strike of the weavers,
at Dundee, Scot bind, because they did not
share in the recent advance granted to the
spinners, the employers have decided to close
the mills and factories on March 8. The lock-
out will affect 35,000 workmen.

" Euthanasia.'
Some of our wise and unco' guid newspa-
pers seem to think that they have clinched the
argument against "euthanasia" by pointing
out that that custom is practiced by many
savage nations, and that for civilized nations
to adopt the custom would therefore be in the
nature of a reversion to savagery. The plain
inference from this is, of course, that in moral
ethics and principles of right living civilized
men have nothing to learn from savages. It
is nevertheless an easily demonstrable fact
that in many of the fundamentals of life sav-
ages, and even animals, live far more rational-
ly and in accordance with the laws of nature
than do civilized men, and ethics and prin-
ciples of living not founded upon the laws
of nature are certainly not conducive to a
high civilization. It is also an equally demon-
strable fact that all radical social reforms im-
ply in a measure a going back to first prin-
ciples; that is, to principles of living and so-
cial intercourse regarded as right by some
ancient people who, looked at from a modern
point of view, were of course more or less
savage. This is so because where as civilized
men we have failed to advance in those con-
ditions which may justly be qualified by the
adjective "humane," it has usually been
where we have departed the most from that
which was considered good in ancient times.
But, then, it is quite in keeping with the moral
standards and point of view of a nation whose
annual number of homicides, pro rata of pop-
ulation, far exceeds that of any other civilized
nation, and which passively sanctions slow
child-murder under the guise of child labor
and the somewhat slower murder of its adults
from a vicious and unnatural industrial sys-
tem, to snuffle piously about its "Christian
virtues" and roll up the whites of its eyes in
holy horror at the thought of "euthanasia."
At a dinner given at the Metropolitan Club
(New York), on February 6, in honor of the
visiting Chinese Imperial Commission, Gen-
eral Frederick D. Grant spoke on the subject
of Chinese Exclusion, and in part said :
The United States has disgraced itself by exclud-
ing the Chinese. There is no reason why they should
not have the same rights in this country as the na-
tives of any other country. They would make more
desirable citizens than a great many nationalities I
could name. Too much stress has been laid on the sub-
ject of Chinese coolies. The coolies would not affect
our workingmen in any way, except to develop a
healthy competition with them.
These are strange sentiments to come from
the son of a man who was twice honored with
the highest public office in the gift of the peo-
ple of the United States. They also lend ad-
ditional weight to the " degenerate-sons-of-il-
lustrious-fathers" theory. Fortunately for the
country at large, men of General Grant's
stripe are rather more amusing than danger-
ous; and their diatribes serve chiefly the pur-
pose of adding to the gayety of the nations.
Judging from the many attempts being
made in the various Legislatures throughout
the country to secure increases in the salaries
of all sorts of public officials, these gentlemen
must be beginning to feel the pinch of our
trust-made prosperity.
Our Reverend "Friends.'
The poor preachers are all at sea on the
subject of trade-unionism. Just now most of
these, like the scabs on the fence, seem to be
waiting till "the unions get stronger" before
making known to the world that they "have
always been union men in their hearts," etc.
In the meantime those among them who own
enough corporation stock to make them care-
less whether or not school keeps, go on as
unconcernedly as ever, telling the same old
pulpit-worn whoppers about organized labor.
The latest eruption of note happened in New
York where, a few days ago, the Rev. Dr.
Minot J. Savage preached a sermon, in the
Church of the Messiah, on the problem of or-
ganized labor, and among other things said :
There is another thing which trade-unions threaten.
They threaten to put a premium on poor work — in-
competence— by demanding that the poor workman
shall be paid as much as the good, and by interfering
with the freedom of the individual to develop himself
to the highest and finest of which he is capable.
All this is, of course, the musty, nonsensical
Eliot-Hopkins-Thurber trash which has no
more foundation in fact than had the fanciful
tales of Baron Munchausen. Moreover, it has
been so often exploded by men who know
from personal experience as workers what
trade-unionism is and stands for, that any
man who at this late day digs that old trash
up again argues himself either a fool or an
ignoramus — when is he not a knave in the em-
ploy of the men behind the "Open Shop".
For that reason it will be sufficient for the
present to remark that while ministers of the
gospel are addicted to fibbing in the pulpit
they can hardly blame workingmen for stay-
ing away from church.
The Evening Journal, of New York, thinks
that "Furuseth, of the Seamen, ought to sit
in Congress every term while his vigor lasts,
fighting for the men at sea." The esteemed
Evening Journal evidently does not realize,
if it knows, that Mr. Furuseth has been "in
Congress" a good many years now, or that he
has done a great deal more than any regular
member of that house of mirth "for the men
at sea". All of which seems to be corrobora-
tive evidence of the general presumption that
it always pays to let well enough alone — un-
til something better turns up.
To be right where all others are wrong is
to be right indeed.
C. W. Post, cockalorum of the union-busters,
is rendering a service to organized labor which
it would be churlish indeed not to becomingly
acknowledge. His cute little "Square Deal"
and funny little advertisements in the dull
trust papers are doing more in a month to dis-
credit the cause of the ' ' Open Shop ' ' than the
trade-unions with their limited resources could
hope to accomplish in a year. All those in fa-
vor of presenting Brother Post with a loving
cup will please write to the newspapers and
state the reasons for the faith that is in them,
and also suggest a suitable design for the lov-
ing cup.
The defense of Senate bill 27 by its authors
seems to have been framed up on the locus-a-
non-lucendo principle. As a specimen of logic
that affirms much but proves little it is almost
"sui generis," as "Bumboat Mike" used to
say.
Fag Ends.
Optimism and hunger are soon parted.
Work for Direct Legislation and the Re-
call!
There is often but a step from anarchy to
tyranny.
Humanity without pity is like a world with-
out a sun.
No cynic ever yet lacked reverence for un-
sophisticated innocence.
Destroy the soul's most loved illusions and
life would hold but little to admire.
All Nature's blessings were born of strife,
for active change is the law of life.
In the final analysis life is but the never-
ending continuity of cause and effect.
Few men are so good that they are not even
experimentally acquainted with the lures of
the devil.
The obscure citizen of this generation has
at any rate one good reason to congratulate
himself upon his obscurity. His family life
is not accounted of sufficient interest to the
general public to be made the subject of fun-
ny newspaper cartoons, or to be lampooned
by the witty young space-writers of "a free
and enlightened press."
About the only rule the repeal of which ap-
parently was not recommended by the com-
mittee on Chinese Exclusion, appointed by the
Department of Commerce and Labor, is the
rule that all Chinamen coming to this country
must pay their footing "allee samee Melican
man." In all other respects the recommenda-
tions of the committee, as approved by Secre-
tary Metcalf, will no doubt meet with an un-
qualified acceptance by the Chinese Govern-
ment.
Socialism, stripped of its mantle of idealism
and its Mumbo Jumbo economics, is simply
compound bureaucracy dressed in the livery
of popular government. In short, it is one of
those political creeds which men who cherish
the very human and commendable longing for
a better civilization than we of to-day enjoy
would do well to scan carefully before finally
committing themselves irrevocably to its
tenets. Some of these are no doubt good,
while others are, perhaps, harmless; but, as
a whole, Socialism is decidedly an undesirable
substitute for Democracy undefiled.
A new steamship line, the Sloman-Brazil
line, has opened headquarters in New York,
and will shortly begin to operate a monthly
passenger service between that port and vari-
ous points in Brazil. The company's steamer
Siegmund sailed on her maiden trip to Per-
nambuco, Rio Janeiro and Santos on Feb-
ruary 19, to be followed by the Siegliende, the
Gootrune and the Gunther, in the order
named. All these vessels were built specially
for the New York and Brazil passenger serv-
ice.

The British steamer Cambrian King, on the way
from Nanaimo for San Francisco, is to be given orders
off the Heads to proceed to Han Diego with her cargo
of coal.
A dispatch from Umpqna, Or., on February 28 re-
ported that the masts and rigging of the schooner
Sadie had gone by the board. The weather was
squally, and the schooner seemed to be doomed.
The French bark Anne de Bretagne, from Swansea
for Ban Francisco, previously reported as having put
into Montevideo, lias discharged part of her cargo of
coal in order to have repairs made to the rudder.
The Pacific Mail liner Siberia, under command of
Captain Zeeder, gained three days on her last passage
to Hongkong, arriving there only one day behind
schedule time, though leaving here four days behind
time.
Captain William T. Burwell, Commanding the Puget
Sound Navy Yard at Bremerton, Wash., has received
notification from Washington that plans for the pro-
posed $60,000 wharf at the Yard had been approved.
Work will begin at once.
A breakage of the steering gear caused the steam-
schooner Redondo, on the way to Astoria and San
Francisco, to run ashore in the Columbia River on
February 28 opposite St. Helens. Tt was necessary
to unload her cargo to float her.
The steamer Queen City, at Victoria, B. C, on
March 2, brought advices from Nootka that a fur seal
was killed on the beach there, this being the first in-
stance on record where fur seals have landed else-
where than on the Pribylov Islands.
The Hongkong Maru of the Japanese line is under-
going many alterations and improvements, although ar-
riving only on March 1 from the Orient. The liner
is to be placed in first-class condition during her stay
in port. She is to sail again for the Orient on March
17.
The United States Army transport Buford, at San
Francisco on February 28, reported having rescued
the crew — thirty-seven all told — of the sinking Japan-
ese barkentine Tonomotu Morn on February 7, five
days ' steam from the Japanese coast. The shipwreck-
ed men were landed at Honolulu.
A telegram received at San ±- rancisco on February 26
from Blythe, Eng., reported that the French bark
Marthe Roux, from San Francisco, on September 23,
for Leith, has been towed into Blythe, leaking and
with ten feet of water in her hold. The vessel had
been ashore near New Biggin, five miles north of
Blythe.
Seven members of the crew of the American bark
Aider] Besse, formerly owned in San Francisco, ar-
rived at Seattle, Wash., on February 28 on the Great
Northern liner Dakota. The Alden Besse was aban-
doned to the underwriters in Japan, and the crew
were sent home. The vessel is now under the Japan-
ese flag.
The Navy Department has approved the survey of
the Wyoming, which lies at the Mare Island (Gal.)
Navy Yard under repairs. The amount of the ap-
proved survey is $66,000. This includes an estimate of
$41,000 for repairs and alterations to the monitor 's
turrets. The remainder of the amount is to be ex-
pended on the general overhauling of the vessel prior
to her going into commission again.
Registered mail valued at a large amount was lost
when the steamer Clallam went down in the Strait of
San Juan de Fuca, early in 1904, and the legal au-
thorities of the Postoffi.ee Department have just in-
structed United States District Attorney Frye, at
Seattle, Wash., to institute a suit against the Pue-ct
Sound Navigation Company for approximately $1000,
the amount of some of the established losses.
Owners of oil-burning steamers have long been try-
ing to have a change made in the rule adopted by the
San Francisco Harbor Commission providing that the
loading of oil tanks of steamers should take place
in hours of daylight, or before 5 P. M. each clay. At
the last meeting of the Board, Commissioner Crocker
endeavored to have the rule changed, but President
Spear insisted upon its enforcement, realizing the dan-
ger that might result from the loading of'oil tanks at
night.
That there are fears for the safety of the American
schooner W. F. Garms, now overdue on the passage
from Newcastle, Australia, to Honolulu, was evidenced
on March 2, when the rate of reinsurance on that
vessel was advanced from 10 per cent to 30 per cent.
The schooner, one of the best of her class, is out 106
days on the trip, and should have arrived long ago.
There is a possibility that lire broke out in her cargo
of coal, or that she was overcome by storms in the
South Pacific.
The steamer Lehua sailed from Honolulu on Febru-
ary 26 for San Francisco. The vessel has been pur-
chased by S. B. Peterson & Co. from the 1 nterisland
Steamship Company for service between San Fran-
cisco and Bristol Bay canneries, and will make her
first voyage early this season. The Lehua was built
in 1879 by Dickie Bros., of San Francisco, and has
long been a well-known steamer in Hawaiian waters.
She has a length of 112 feet, breadth of 24.1 feet and
depth of 8.1 feet.
Four yachts have been entered so far for the race
next May, from San Francisco to Honolulu, for the
$500 cup offered by the Hawaii Yacht Club. They
are the Nixie, by Fulton (!. Berry of the Corinthian
Yacht Club, San Francisco; Anemone, by C. L. Tutt
of the New York Yacht Club; Lurline, by II. H. Sin-
clair of the South Coast Yacht (tub, San Pedro and
La Paloma, by C W. M.-u-t'arlane of the Hawaii Yacht
Club. There is talk of an entry of a yacht from
"Britishers at Victoria.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on March 4: British bark Drumcraig, 164
days from Astoria for Manila, 90 per cent. British
bark Daylight, 192 days from New York for Yokkaichi,
8 per cent. American schooner W. F. Garms, 104 days
from Newcastle, Australia, for Eleele, 60 per cent.
British bark Drumnmir, 91 days from Newcastle,
Australia, for San Francisco, 15 per cent. British
bark Swansea Castle, (til days from St. Lucia for Table
Bay, 10 per cent.
The two new liners being built for the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha, operating between the Orient and San Fran-
cisco, are to be fitted with turbine machinery, ac-
cording to advices from England, where contracts for
the machinery have been placed. This machinery, ac-
cording to report, will be capable of driving the
steamers at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. The
steamers themselves are being constructed at the Mit-
sui Bishi Kaisha yards, at Nagasaki, and will be
ready for business in about two years.
"It is the feeling of the members of this commis-
sion that the Pacific ('oast has not been treated with
fairness in regard to aids to navigation," said Com-
missioner Smith at Seattle, Wash., on March 1, after
the last witnesses of the Valencia inquiry had com-
pleted their work. Commissioner Smith says that
members of the Commission will do all in their power
for the Pacific Coast, and he hopes that the Senators
and Representatives will work for an appropriation to
give the shipping of the Pacific the same protection
as is afforded by the Government on the Atlantic.
A brief telegram announced on February 27 that
the steamer Indiana, bound from New York to Balti-
more and San Francisco, had gone ashore off the quar-
antine station near Baltimore. But later advices in-
dicated that the Indiana would easily float. Captain
Harry Struve, formerly commander of the transport
Hancock, is in charge of the Indiana, which was re-
cently purchased by the Barneson-Hibberd Company
of San Francisco, and is being brought to the Coast to
run on the Alaskan route. The Indiana was on this
Coast a few years ago, during the Nome excitement,
but later returned to the Atlantic.
Three overdue vessels were added to the reinsurance
list at San Francisco on March 1. These were the
American schooner W. F. Garms, a fine vessel, which
had already consumed 101 days on the passage from
jSJewcastle, Australia, for Eleele, Hawaii, and has not
been reported. She should have arrived more than
a month ago. Ten per cent is quoted for reinsurance.
The British bark Drummuir, also bound from New-
castle, Australia, but with San Francisco as her des-
tination, has been placed on the board, at the same
rate for reinsurance. The Drummuir is owned by the
Barneson-Hibberd Company, of San Francisco, and is
commanded by Captain Armstrong. The other new-
overdue, the Swansea Castle, is a small and rather
ancient bark, 87 days out on the way from St. Lucia
for Table Bay, S. A.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CUBED.
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis-
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Kustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound ur impel
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and i,, is tube restored fo its norma] condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases nut of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
lamed condition of flu- mucous surfaces.

The World's Coal.
The British Board of Trade report known
as "Coal Tables, 1904," has been published
as a Parliamenary paper. It gives the fol-
lowing figures of the production of coal by the.
five principal coal producing countries of the
worjd, in the years 1902, 1903, and 1904, in
gross tons (2,240 pounds) for the United
States and the United Kingdom, and in metric
tons (2,204 pounds) for Germany, France
rnd Belgium :
1902. 1903. 1904.
United States 269,277,000 319,068,000 314,563,000
United Kingdom.. 227,095,000 230,884,000 232,428,000
Germany 107,474,000 116,638,000 120,816,000
France 29,365,000 34,218,000 33,838,000
Belgium 23,877,000 23,797,000 23,507,000
The report claims that the production of
coal in 1904 in the United Kingdom and Ger-
many was greater than in any previous year,
but that neither France, Belgium nor the
United States reached the high figures of
1903. Anyway, the United States production
exceeded that of the United Kingdom by 82,-
135,000 tons, and, what is better, was nearly all
consumed at home, while the United Kingdom
•exported 65,822,000 tons of its product in 1904.
The United States coal exports were only
8,574,000 tons. Further, the United States
production was 8,000,000 tons in excess of
double the combined production of Germany
and France, while Germany exported 21,-
631,000 tons of its production, and imported
7,975,000 tons. Still further, the United
States production was 59,000,000 tons greater
than the combined production of the United
Kingdom and Belgium, and was only 96,026,-
000 short of the combined production of the
United Kingdom, Germany, France and Bel-
gium. The report says that the total known
coal production of the world (exclusive of
brown coal or lignite) is now about 790,000,-
000 tons, of which the United Kingdom pro-
duces less and the United States more than
one-third.
As compared with the populations of each
of the five countries, the United Kingdom
produces 5l/2 tons per head, the United States
4 tons per head, Belgium 3T/2 tons per head,
Germany 2 tons per head, and France less
than one ton per head. The coal production
of India and the other British colonies is
quite small. New South Wales supplies
nearly all the output of the Australian com-
monwealth, and what that commonwealth
• lues export goes chiefly to the Philippines
and Japan, or at least Japan has been getting
it since the commencement of the war with
Russia. Japan will be heard from as a coal
exporting country as soon as she gets the
great Fusan (Manchuria) mines in going
order.
As coal consumers, the order of importance
given in the report is — United States, United
Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, Belgium,
and Austria-Hungary. After giving the fig-
ures, the report admits that "the total con-
sumption of coal in the United Slates is now
nearly twice as greal as that id' any other
country in the world," meaning the United
Kingdom, the next, largest, coal consuming
country. It is also admitted that about half
Canada's consumption is American coal.
Sweden and Spain gel most of 1 licit- coal from
the United Kingdom.

CHINA'S RIGHT TO BOYCOTT.
Whereas, It appears from the general sources of
public information that the National Government is
now preparing to take aggressive measures in China by
the use of the military power against those persons and
classes presumed to be responsible for the hostile senti-
ment reported as existing toward missionaries and
merchants claiming allegiance to and protection of the
United States; and
Whereas, It is alleged in certain quarters that tin-
reported hostility of the Chinese toward Americans and
American interests is attributable to displeasure with
the Chinese Exclusion Act and the consequent attempt
to force the United States Government to repeal or
modify that law; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League, that while we commend the use by our Gov-
ernment of every proper and necessary means to up-
hold the dignity of the United States and to protect
the persons and property of United States citizens in
China or any other country, we deprecate the apparent
assumption that force may be used to suppress dis-
satisfaction on the part of the Chinese on account of
any grievance, real or imaginary, which the latter may
entertain against the United States; further
Resolved, That, in the opinion of this League, the
charge that the alleged hostile state of public feeling
in China is due to displeasure with the Chinese Exclu-
sion Act is largely an invent inn of certain interests
desirous of exploiting the labor both of China and of
the United States, which interests are therefore in-
imical to the welfare of both countries; further
Resolved, That in its attitude toward China the
United States should be governed by proper respect for
the rights of that nation, particularly the right to
trade with, or refuse to trade with, the United States,
for any reason sufficient to itself, and the right to re-
ceive or reject, to admit or expel, the teachers of any
religion or creed; further
Resolved, That in commending the adoption and
maintenance of a firm and strong policy on the part of
the United States Government toward China, we are
convinced that such policy must depend for its success,
first, upon the determination of the former to adopt
and execute such domestic measures, legislative or
otherwise, as may by it be deemed necessary for its
own welfare and that of the American people; and,
secondly, upon a full and frank recognition of the right
of China to prosecute the same course in its own be-
half.
These resolutions were unanimously adopted
by the Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League, of San Francisco, at its regular
monthly meeting on March 4. Briefly stated,
the resolutions deny the claim that the Chi-
nese Exclusion Act is accountable for what-
ever feeling may exist in China against Amer-
icans or other foreigners; recognize the right
of China to boycott the products of the
United Slates, and to receive or reject the
teachings of the missionaries; declare for a
strong policy on the part of the United States
toward China, the prime element of which
shall be the enactment and execution by the
former of such laws as may be necessary for
protection against the latter; and, finally, de-
clare for the right of China to protect itself
against the United States. In a word, the
resolutions recognize the rights of China as
equal with those of the United States.
The action of the Japanese and Korean Ex-
elusion League is timely and necessary. If we
may judge from press reports, the altitude of
the United States Governmenl suggests the
denial of China's rights as a nation and an
attempt to coerce that nation into doing thai
which she may rightly refuse to do. Of course,
no one questions the right, and the duty, of
the United States to protect the persons of
American citizens in China and such Amer-
ican property interests as may have been le-
gally acquired. But underlying the ostensible
purpose of protecting life and property there
exist strong evidences of a determination to
compel the Chinese to recede from their stand
against American products— to "raise the
boycott," in common parlance. That purely
domestic institution, "Government by [njunc-
tion," being unavailable in international af-
fairs, it is proposed to restrain the Chinese
boycotters by the issuance of a writ in gun-
nery! From this proposal every American
who values the honor of his country must un-
equivocally dissent. Certainly, every Amer-
ican citizen who values his individual right to
give or withhold his patronage at his own Eree
will, must stand for the same right in others,
whether acting as individuals or as nations.
Similarly, the talk of protecting the mis-
sions suggests the idea of proselyting at the
point of the bayonet. This is an old story, a
story as old as the so-called "Christian na-
tions" themselves. The idea of converting
the Chinese to the teachings of the meek and
lowly Nazarene is admirable, of course; but
the idea of pointing these teachings with sharp
steel and weighting them with cold lead is re-
pugnant to every one but the zealot. The
American missionary in China is entitled to
share the protection granted his compatriots
by the United States forces, so long as he re-
mains within the protected zone; beyond that
zone, he must trust to the sustaining powers
of his faith. It is stated upon good authority
that China was forced by fraud, committed
in the translation of a treaty, to admit the
missionary, and is therefore practically ab-
solved from responsibility for the safety of
the latter. However that may be, it is clear
that the United States can not make war upon
China, ostensibly for the protection of the
missionary, without creating a strong suspi-
cion of ulterior motive.
The Government and those classes who are
urging it to adopt and prosecute the "gun-
boat policy" in the Orient must bear the full
responsibility for whatever may develop from
that policy. That policy may be strong and
strenuous, but its strength is of the purely
physical variety. The stronger policy, the
policy favored by all right-minded Americans,
the policy set forth in the resolutions of the
Japanese and Korean Exclusion League, is
that of standing firmly for the right of the
United States to enact and enforce such legis-
lation as it may deem necessary for the pro-
tection and welfare of its own people, regard
less of the pleasure or displeasure of other
peoples, or even of its own people in other
countries. This policy is the stronger becau e
it rests upon the soundest moral basis, and be-
cause it will command the respect of other
nations by reason of its justice. The "gun-
boat policy" commands nothing but fear and
vindicates nothing but force. Those who ad-
vise and adopt that policy must bear the con-
sequences.
AMERICAN ON SUBSIDY BILL.
The New York American, of February 27,
under the title, "An Obnoxious and Un-Amer-
ican Conscription," editorially condemned
the Naval Reserve features of the Ship Sub-
sidy bill, which passed the United States Sen-
ate on February 14. The American said:
During Tuesday and Wednesday, the last
two days devoted to the consideration of the
Ship Subsidy bill by the Senate, attention was
strongly drawn to two especially obnoxious
phases of this bill by Senator Spooner, of
AVisconsin. In Section 1, which provides for
the Naval Reserve, is a provision that, the
subvention paid to the Naval Reserve men
shall be so paid upon a certificate by the Sec-
retary of Commerce and Labor that the Naval
Reserve man has served satisfactorily on a
merchant vessel of the United States during
six months of the preceding twelve months.
Sub-section 6 of Section III provides that
cargo vessels, in order to obtain a subsidy,
must have a certain number of Naval Reserve
men on board, the number to increase grad-
ually until it shall be one-fourth of the crew.
Section VII of the bill makes the same pro-
vision with reference to passenger and mail
steamers. These provisions, which make it to
the interest of the shipowner to have the re-
quired number of Naval Reserve men, neces-
sarily make it imperative upon the seaman to
join the Naval Reserve in order that he may
be employed on such vessels.
The Naval Reserve man has to enlist Eor
four years at a time; but if he desires to sail
on any of this kind of vessel he must neces-
sarily continue to re-enlist and re-enlist until
he has reached the age in wdiicb he can re-
enlist no more. He must either do this or lie
can not sail on that kind of vessel.
This is a form of conscription more obnox-
ious, more drastic, than any form of conscrip-
tion used in Europe. Usually the seaman is
called in and serves the Government for one,
two or three years. Having served the allot-
ted time, he obtains civil employment upon
an equality with other men. In this bill the
possibility of the seaman earning his hoard is
made contingent upon having enlisted and re-
maining enlisted in the Navy. The condition
that he must have a certificate from the Sec-
retary of Commerce and Labor of satisfactory
service for six months means that he must
have such a certificate from the shipowner
upon whose vessel he has been serving. If he
shall refuse to give such certificate, then the
seaman will not be able to obtain the subven-
tion. It is easy to see that the shipowner may
use his discretion in this matter to compel the
seaman to transfer his subvention to the
owner for such consideration as the owner
shall be willing to give, and that the owner
will be in a position to reduce the wag*>s on
board of his vessel to the equal amount of
the Government's subvention.
The Senator from Wisconsin characterized
this phase of the bill as un-American, and
urged strongly that it be stricken out from
the bill; but upon vote his motion failed. The
other phase of the bill is found in Sub-section
3 of Section III. There it is provided that
one-sixth of the crew shall be citizens or have
declared their intention to become citizens,
and that at least one-half of the deck crew
shall be able-seamen, "which is hereby de-
fined to be men who have had at least two
years' experience at sea." The utter inade-
quacy of the number of skilled men thus pro-
vided Eor, and the still more inadequate
amount of skill in the individual, was called
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
to the attention of the Senate, and an amend-
ment was offered which provided that at least
seventy-five per cent of the deck crew should
have had at least three years' experience on
deck at sea or on the Great Lakes, and that
they must he at least nineteen years of age.
These are qualifications recommended by the
British Commission that investigated into and
reported upon the manning of British vessels
in 1896. The standard therein reported was
a compromise. Quite a number of the com-
missioners held that the term of three years
was too short to acquire proper experience.
When the amendment was offered by the
Senator from Wisconsin no opposition was
manifested, but when it was put to a vote it
was defeated. From this it would appear that
the purpose of this bill is to give to the ship-
owner the money collected from taxation sim-
ply to run his ships. No conditions for the
improvement of the men; no conditions for
the improvement of the safety of the passen-
gers! The seamen protested against the bill,
protested against the subvention to be given
to them, and stated that they had never asked
for it, they did not want it. They stated fur-
ther that they protested against being used as
a key to open the vaults of the Treasury, or
as a pack mule to carry away the plunder.
These protests did not come only from one
part of the country, but came from every part
of the country where the bill was under-
stood; but no attention was paid to them or
to Senator Spooner's earnest efforts, except
to vote that the system of conscription should
remain in the bill.

Pa., on February 18, will be noted with pro-
found regret by thousands of trade-unionists
in the United States and other countries. In
his prime Brother McGuire ranked with the
biggest minds and most powerful personali-
ties in the American labor movement. As one
of the founders of the American Federation
of Labor, twenty-five years ago, McGuire is
entitled to share, equally with those of his col-
leagues of that day who still survive, in the
credit for the success of that institution. As
Secretary-Treasurer of the United Brother-
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of America,
McGuire did more than any other man to
make possible the growth and power attained
by that organization. Peter J. McGuire was
a giant in his day of active service. Those
leaders in the present generation of the Amer-
ican labor movement who have grown up in
the zone of comparative peace created by the
sweep of that mighty arm may well respect
the life and mourn the loss of a great and gal-
lant leader. May his memory remain as ver-
dant as his life was valorous!
The Proceedings of the Eleventh Annual
Convention of the International Seamen's
Union of America, held at Cleveland, 0., last
December, are now available for the use of
the members of the affiliated unions in the
respective Districts. Every member should
read and study the Proceedings in order to
acquaint himself with the work of the Inter-
national Seamen's Union.
Members of the Sailors' Union of the Pa-
cific should take note that action upon the
question of renewing the present Steam-
Schooner Agreement will be taken at the next
meeting, on March 12. All members in port
at Headquarters and the agencies should be
present at that meeting and record their will
upon this important matter.
Latest reports from Washington, D. C, are
to the effect that the Foster Pro-Chinese bill
stands no show of passage. So far so good.
It remains to be said,, however, that the Foster
bill is capable of important amendment, while
still remaining a very bad bill. We would
warn our readers against being lulled into
fancied security by the assurance that the
Foster bill is dead. The protest of organized
labor and its friends should be renewed, in-
stead of relaxed. Further, that protest should
not be confined to the Foster bill, but should
contain a demand for the maintenance of the
present Chinese Exclusion Act, without alter-
ation or modification of any kind.
Those newspapers and other "mediums of
publicity" which are sincerely concerned to
increase the safety of life and property at
sea can turn their efforts in a practical direc-
tion by urging upon Congress the passage of
the Goulden bill, known as II. R. 12472.
That measure provides for the more efficient
manning of vessels, a question that goes to
the root of the whole subject. At present
there is absolutely no law on the subject, a
fact which, more than any other, is account-
able for the great loss of life in such disasters
as those of the Slocum and Valencia.
Ed. Rosenberg, the well-known member of
the Sailors' Union, has been elected Secretary
of the Washington State Federation of Labor.
Comrade Rosenberg's long and active service
in the labor movement, and particularly his
record as Secretary of the San Francisco
Labor Council, afford a guarantee that he will
render valuable assistance to the trade-union-
ists of the Northern State. Congratulations
to all concerned.
The New York American is to be congratu-
lated upon the soundness of its views on the
Ship Subsidy bill. The sentiments expressed
in the American editorial, reprinted on page
6 of this issue, are precisely those of the sea-
men themselves. Now that the American has
shown the way, it is to be hoped that other
great newspapers will declare themselves
against, the system of conscription proposed
by the Ship Subsidy bill.
A full report of the 6th of March celebra-
tion of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific will
be published in next week's issue of the Jour-
nal. Don't fail to secure and preserve that
issue as a memento of a great event in the his-
tory of a great movement.

Opening of the Season.
It is not likely that the vesselowners will
open navigation this spring by steam, as they
did a year ago, as it proved to be a very costly
experiment. Nearly all the vessels that were
caught in the ice jams a year ago suffered. The
shipbuilders were kept busy for weeks fur-
nishing buckets for wheels, and the damage
done to vessels by the ice made a very large
amount of repair work that was done this
winter necessary. The loss caused by start in<_r
too early was great, as in addition to the dam-
ages suffered by the fleet much time was lost.
Some of the big freighters were in the ice
from a week to ten days.
The steamer Martin Mullen, which was tin
first of the Lake Erie fleet to sail, left Buffalo
April S. and did not reach Duluth until April
20. The steamers J. T. Hutchinson and Sul-
tana sailed from Duluth April 8, with grain
cargoes. They were stuck in the ice above
the Soo for about ten days, and did not reach
Buffalo until April 23, making fifteen days
for the trip. The ice-crusher Algona opened a
channel from the Soo to AVhitefish on April
19, but it was closed the following day. The
steamer Captain Thomas Wilson was the first
boat of the upbound fleet to reach the Soo.
She did not start from Lake Erie until several
days after the boats bad reached Detour. The
Straits were opened on April 1°. although a
number of steamers tried to force a passage
several days before. The steamer C. W. Wat
son of the Gilchrist fleet, was the first boat to
get through.
New LocK at the Soo.
Thi' Lake Carriers' Association has taken
up the fighl against the granting of any
wal'-r power concessions at Sault Ste Marie,
and proposes, if possible, to have a new lock
built for the accommodation of increasing
traffic, particularly for the new class of ves-
sels now coming out. The following, from tin1
Cleveland Plain Dealer of February 25, may
be of interest :
Harvey D. uoulder and Harry Coulby of Cleveland,
with President William Livingston of tin- Lake Oar-
riere' Association, have born acting as a delegation,
making representations in various quarters within the
last few days, "We have urged that the suit to test
the validity of Porterfiohl land grants at he Sen I..
expedited," said President Livingston, "and we l»--
lieve that it will be. Until it is decided whether the
Government or private concerns own the land requir
ed for the widening of the canal to L'OS feel this im-
provement cannot be carried out. The Association is
strongly opposed to further grants of water rights at
the Soo and from what we have learned while hero
we believe there will be no more grants. Should the
demands now made on the Government for this water
power be complied with, there would not be water
enough left to boil in a teapot, to say nothing of float-
ing ships."
A new lock at- the Soo and a straight chan-
nel at the Lime Kilns would certainly im-
prove matters.
On February 17, there were 17,885,706
bushels of grain in the Duluth elevators.
Press Contradictions.
Another contradiction in the daily news-
papers' is the Chinese boycott rot. Judge, of
February 17, contains a front-page cartoon,
Bhowing a giant Chinese soldier educated up
to date, equipped with everything modern.
menacing Uncle Sam, who in a frenzy of
fright is tearing up a paper labeled "Drastic
Anti-Chinese Laws." Other papers contain
lurid accounts of threatened uprisings in
China, of anti-American agitation in China
and Japan, and of the sense of wrong the
Chinese feel against the United States on ac-
count of our Immigration laws. All of which
is carefully prepared testimony to accustom
the people of the United States to the idea of
repealing the Chinese Exclusion Act. The
Cleveland Leader, of February 18, publishes
an interview with Sir Chentung Liang Cheng,
the Chinese Minister at Washington, in which
he states that "'there is no danger whatever
of an uprising in China against foreigners,"
and that the Chinese soldiers would lay waste
a whole community Avhich dared to molest a
foreigner at this time. Lower down in the
same column, offers a copy of a cablegram
from Presbyterian missionaries in China, re-
ceived by their Hoard of Foreign Missions, in
Xew York, on February 17. as follows:
"Missionaries not in peril, everything is en-
couraging."
All of which simply proves that there is
no reason why the United States should mod-
ify the Exclusion laws, or why they should
not strengthen them by including Japanese
in the same class as the Chinese.

'file steamer Lycoming, which has been
wintering in Buffalo harbor, was purchased
recently by James O'Connor, of Tonawanda.
The vessel was owned by the Great Lakes En-
gineering Works and previous to being taken
over by the firm was one of the Anchor line's
fleet of freight carriers. The two big arches
on the steamer will be removed and she will
undergo repairs at the Buffalo drydock. The
Lycoming will later be taken to Tonawanda.
where she will be transfoi-med into a lumber
carrier.
The wooden steamer Saginaw, partially
burned near Fort Huron late last November,
has been sold by her owner, C. W. Kotcher. of
Detroit, to E. \V. Miner, Presidenl of the De-
troit Coal & Coke Company. The steamer will
be operated the coming season in the coal
trade along the rivers and will tow the barge
William Case, also owned by the coal com-
pany.
The Northwestern Fuel Company will
spend $600,000 enlarging its Winter street
dock at Superior. Wis. The new addition will
have a slip on each side, thus enabling \
to unload on cither side. The new dock will
have about 400,000 tons capacity.
There is a probability of another strike of
the Tugmen this spring. They demand a re-
duction of hours from 16 to 11. It remain*
to be seen what good their affiliation with the
"long name" organization will do them.

Marine Notes.
The steamer St. Louis is to be converted in-
to a barge. Her boilers will be put into the
steamer Buell.
The steamer Laughlin is building at the
Great Lakes Engineering Works and the Pol-
lock and Rhodes are building at the American
Shipbuilding Company. It is expected they
will all go in commission during the summer.
The suit of the Marine Cooks' and Stewards'
Union of the Great Lakes against the Km
pire Surety Company, of New York, for $2,-.
110, being the amount of the defalcation of
ex-treasurer, Ed. Walker, has been won and
the money has been paid to the organization.
While lifting his nets near Green Island
recentty, Theodore Goggwart hooked a ship's
lamp. It proved to be one of the lamps from
the steamer Hackley, lost on Green Bay two
years ago with twelve members of the crew
and several passengers.
The proceedings of the Tenth Annual Con-
vention, International Seamen's Union of
America, are now out, copies can be obtained
at any hall. There is a great deal of informa-
tion contained in this pamphlet, and no mem-
ber who wishes to keep in touch with the work-
ings of his organization should fail to obtain
a copy.
The Pittsburg Steamship Company's barge
Manilla, after being jacked seventy-five feet,
was finally floated on February 9. She again
sank in twenty-five feet of water forward. A
bulkhead, built to cover a hole in the for-
ward end, gave way, and she filled. She will
be raised and taken to Superior Ship Yards.
The engine of the La Fayette will be put into
the Manilla, converting her into a steamer.
Secretary of War Taft wants Chinese ad-
mitted to this country. He wants Chinese
coolies worked on the Panama Canal. He
wants the Eight Hour abolished on the Canal.
He wants a war-chest, to be ready to make
war on China. In the meantime China is
boycotting our goods and money, and no white
person is safe. But we allow them to come
here, and they are safer than we. We are
easy.
A number of well known Detroit
men have formed the Detroit River
Company and have purchased the
Desmond from Fritz Reibenach, of
Mich. The steamer will be used largely in
the sand trade, but will also be available for
carrying coal and lumber cargoes. The Des-
mond is now at Cleveland with a load of stor-
age coal for Detroit parties. It was the inten-
tion to bring her here under her own steam to
unload her cargo, a few days ago, but the ex-
tremely cold weather caused a change in the
plans of the new owners. The purchase price
is not given out, but she is understood to have
been knocked down at a reasonable figure. The
Desmond was built at Port Huron in 1892.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
The Gentle Chinese Butcher.
The following extracts from a Letter re-
ceived from South Africa may prove of in-
terest to those individuals who think on "Im-
perial" lines, and to colored labor advocates:
also to the many Australians who losl their
heads during the war fever, and helped to
make a fair and well-governed land the black
hole of brutality and horror it now is:
Murder and outrage by Chinese deserters
is of daily occurrence. As much as p< ssible of
their doings is kept out of the papers, hut
some of it they cannot keep quiet. The South
Africa constabulary are constantly being
called out, and it simply means shooting them
down. A Dutch farmer was murdered thi
other night, and his wife and children nearly
done to death; there was another house with-
in 200 yards, and yet these wretched Chinese
broke into the place in search of food, and
when the farmer, hearing them, came out of
his room, they attacked him with knives and
a pick. The farmer received 50 stabs before
they finally finished him. A little buy of 10
years of age, who fought manfully by his
father's side, was badly stabbed, but managed
to make a dart for the doer, and ran to his
grandfather's house, pursued by a Chinaman.
The child reached the house and gave the
alarm. Two little girls, 13 and 15 years old,
who were in the room, escaped through a win-
dow. Meanwhile, the farmer had dropped,
and his wife, a strong, powerful woman, came
from the bedroom with a baby in her arms.
snatched a knife from a Chinaman, and kept
the brutes at bay; but by the time help ar-
rived she had received a ghastly cut through
the skull and a stab in the groin. Her baby
was also badly injured.
Everybody is arming now. The Dutch arc
terror-stricken and afraid to leave their fam-
ilies and homes. It is all very well for peo-
ple like Lord Selborne and others, who sit
safely at home, to say there is no danger —
they would be the first to ciy out, were they
in the same position that some of these peo-
ple are in. Only those who hear and see as
much as we do can realize the horror of it
all.
At the mines the Chinese are constantly de-
clining to work, and then charging the of-
ficials, driving them before them. The South
African constabulary are then called in, and
after some shooting the mob is cowed. The
trouble with the Chinese is getting very seri-
ous, and letters in the papers are fast and furi-
ous. If this murdering and outrage continues,
I believe the people will rise in a body and
demand that the Chinese be sent back. On
Monday night a white storekeeper was murd-
ered; another seriously injured, and others
hurt. The Chinese attacked them with "jum-
pers" which are easily procured, as they are
thrown all about the mines. This murder was
practically on the mine at Klipfontein. A
woman and her baby have come here to stay
with friends. Her husband works on one of
the mines, and when her husband was on
night shift she walked about all night with
the baby, watching, and slept during the day.
Twenty deserters were brought to the gaol
yesterday. There are about 600 at large.

Diet, and meetings of protest in the country
will he broken up.
Important Discovery.
It is telegraphed from Paris that the civil
engineer, George Claude, informed the soci-
ety of engineers, at its meeting on December
1, that he has succeeded in separating oxygen
and nitrogen in atmospheric air. Mr. Claude
declared that the liquefaction of air had made
the solution of the problem possible. At the
price of two centimes for a cubic meter, it
will be possible to reach unknown tempera-
ture in metallurgy. The Mittag, a Berlin pa-
gays that the invention of George Claude
is of tremendous importance. Several at-
tempts have heretofore been made to solve
'he problem of separating oxygen IV the ni-
trogen of the atmospheric air. Prof. Raoul
Pictet, of Berlin, deserves the credit id' hav-
ing worked on this problem for a series of
years, and having attained great sue-
late.
As far back as L899 Professor Pictel con-
structed a plant in England intended to
separate the two elements. Hut at thai ti
the results were not satisfactory. At the re-
cent congress of naturalists held last Sep-
tember ' Pictet delivered a lecture in which
he stated that be had succeeded in separating
nitrogen from oxygen by liquefying the air
and then allowing the nitrogen to evaporate,
obtaining in this manner a product itain-
ing about 50 per cent of oxygen, and which he
will put on the market as "technical oxygen."
From recent reports it is Learned that Pro-
fessor Pictel has been successful in increasing
the percentage of ogygen still further, and
also cheapening it to a price of about 1 pfen-
nig (about one-fourth cent) per quart. This
statement, however, requires verification. If
it should be true then Professor Pictet will
have done better than ( leorge Claude.
German Labor Insurance.
The lamentable lack of employment which,
during the last year or two. has prevailed at
Munich has brought about the formation of
a municipal insurance against unemployment,
the corporation having decided to contribute
an annual grant of 35,000 marks for three
years. The insurance is on the Geneva sys-
tem, which seems to find admirers in several
countries. In Munich there has been formed
a municipal unemployment fund, under the
management of a municipal committee, which
is elected by the corporation, and consists of
twenty members, ten of whom belong to
workmen's associations. The fund contributes
partly to the unemployment funds of the
trade-unions, and partly to non-organized la-
borers out of work, and who for some time
have paid their weekly contributions to the
municipal fund. Those unemployed through
strikes, lockouts, illness, or incapacity to
work, are excluded from help, and, in order
to obtain aid the applicant must have resided
at least one year in Munich, and either be a
native or have been naturalized. The help
given must not exceed one mark per day, and
not last more than three weeks. An im-
portant branch in the work of the new in-
stitution is the department which finds work
for the applicants, which work the latter are
bound to accept, or they forfeit all assistance.
There is every likelihood of other towns in
Germany following the example of Munich,
the more so as the system for some three or
four years has worked satisfactorily in about
a dozen Belgian towns.

After protracted meetings the Japan-

said that Minister Kato strongly oppos-

Presidenl Roosevelt, on February 28,
issued a proclamation imposing the rates
of duties provided by section 3 of the
Dingley Act upon imports from Ger-
many in return for Germany's conces-
sion of minimum tariff rates on United
States products.
The total amount which has passed
through the hands of the London com-

A remarkable shifting of the New

large building enterprises launched there

The Ramsay County (Minn.) Grand
Jury has returned indictments against.
fhe Dispatch, the Daily News, and the
Pioneer Press, charging a violation of
the law prohibiting the publishing in
newspapers of more than a bare an-
nouncement that a legal execution had
taken place. The indictments grew out
of the hanging of William Williams, who
was executed in St. Paul on February 13.
The law is ten years old, but its enforce-
ment has not been attempted hitherto.
The new British Government, having
little time in which to frame a new
Naval Budget, has practically adopted
its predecessor's estimates, thus contin-
uing the policy of economy already initi-
ated and considered justified by the al-
tered circumstances resulting from the
Russo-Japanese war. In view of the
destruction of the Russia sea power, the
Anglo-Japanese alliance and the Anglo-
French entente, the Government consid-
ers it possible, without detracting from

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
World's Worhers.
The Sydney (Australia) boot repair-
ers have decided to join the ranks of or-
ganized labor, and have formed a union.
The Sydney (Australia) City Council
spent £500 in giving employment to 100
unemployed during the Christmas season.
At the <-nd of last year 17,218 Chi-
"miners" were working in the
Transvaal mines under contracts, and
2000 more were on t heir way.
The Australian Pastoralists ' Review
Bays tl ne feature of the shearing
son (just ended) was the extraordinary
increase in the use of machines, which by
next year will be almost universal in
the larger shells throughout Australia.
Under the New Zealand Arbitration
Court's award, Otago grooms and
coachmen get a minimum wage of C- lis.
per week, and overtime for any time
worked in excess of 280 hours in a
month of four weeks — equal to 70 hours
per wi ek.
Grocery clerks 23 years of age and
over in the otago district, New Zealand,
have been awarded a minimum wage of
£2 5s. per week of 53 hours. Delivery
wagon drivers gel £2 2s. for driving one
horse and £2 lis. for two horses, their
working hours net to 6XC 1 47% per
week, exclusive of meal hours and time
attending upon horses.
The Queensland (Australia) Public
Service Review says that the average
salary paid to letter-carriers in the Com-
monwealth today is £125 per annum,
while the highest salary paid in any
State in 1901 was £120 in Victoria, and
the lowest £89 in Tasmania, thus prov-
ing that public servants under federal
control are infinitely better off than if
they were under State control.
The Sydney (Australia) undertakers
and the employes' union have agreed to
a compromise permitting funerals on
Sunday, Christmas, Good Friday, and
the union's picnic day, on payment of
double wages to employes on those days.
The Arbitration Court has amended the
award in accordance with the compro-
mise.
When asked their opinion as to what
will result from the adoption of the
union label in the New South Wales boot
trade, officers of the employes' union
said: "It is the little sweaters that
will suffer most by the union label. We
will have a chance under t ho new law of
making them compete under fair condi-
tions. At present we cannot approach
them."
No less than 116 employers' unions
and 27l' employes' unions were registered
under the New Zealand Industrial Con-
ciliation and Arbitration Act at the end
of September last. Besides these there
were 16 associations of workers' unions
and three federated employers' organi-
zations registered, making the large
total of 407 unions registered under the
Arbitration Act.
The Sydney (Australia) tugboat em-
ployes have secured the following mini-
mum rates of wages under the State Ar-
bitration Court's award, which came into
force on February 14: Mates, £7 10s.
per month and found; firemen, £8 10s.;
cooks, £5 10s.; deckhands, £6. If the
men find themselves, d 2s. per month
each extra is to be allowed. Unionists
are to get preference of employment.
The Sydney (Australia) WTharf La-
borers and Stevedores' organizations
have fixed up a new agreement for rates
of wages etc., for work in connection
with oversea vessels. Federal .Member
Hughes, Secretary of the Wharf La-
borers, says the members regard the
agreement on the whole as satisfactory.
Latest information, however, states that
the longshoremen working wheat at
Darling Island refuse to work under the
agreement, demanding an increase to 37
cents per hour, with 50 cents per hour
for overtime.

THE SAILORS* SIXTH.
Twenty-First Anniversary Observed.
Great Reunion Of Old Comrades and Friends.
THE SIXTH OF MARCH celebration of the
Sailors ' Union of the Pacific, held at San
Francisco on Tuesday of last week, was in
every way worthy of the twenty-first anniversary ol
the Union 's birth.
As usual, the torchlight parade was the principal
feature of the occasion. Promptly at 7:45 the parade
started from Headquarters and marched along East
street to Folsom-street Dock, where a halt was made
and cheers given in honor of the historic "lumber
pile, ' ' the scene of the meeting at which the Union
was organized on March 6, 1885. The line of march
was then taken up along Steuart to Market, to O 'Far-
rell, to Powell, to Eddy, to Lyric Hall.
The weather was exceptionally fine, and the large
crowds that lined the city's leading thoroughfares
demonstrated the greatest enthusiasm as the Sailors,
rlressed in the familiar uniform of the Union, with
Bags, torches and music, marched past. The Sailors '
f'Jnion has long been regarded as an institution of the
ity, and its annual celebration as an event of public
nterest. On the present occasion the people of San
Francisco lined the sidewalks in large numbers and
greeted the men of the sea with every evidence of
*ood will and encouragement. The Sailors, in turn,
cplied to the greetings of their friends with cheer upon
heer as the long line of parades made its way rhrough
he crowds.
It was an ovation, beginning with the first order to
narch and continuing until the last cheers hail die 1
way upon the return of the parade to Headquarters,
hortly after midnight.
The parade was headed by the Advance Guard of
wenty-four men, drilled and led by Comrade A. E.
..indstrom, whose efficient work in this connection is
veil known to the older members of the Union. This
luty had been intrusted to Comrade E. A. Erickson,
>ut the latter, owing to a serious injury to his arm,
■ as unable to perform the task.
Company A, composed of 250 men, was captained by
omrade D. W. Paul. Company B, also composed of
~>0 men, was captained by Comrade R. Tunnell.
reasurer Ed. Andersen acted as Grand Marshal and
(■quitted himself in his usual splendid manner, calling
orth numerous compliments upon the well-disciplined
ppearance of the men. Comrades II. (i. Lundberg and
am Olsen acted as aides to the Grand Marshal, and
reatly contributed to the success of the parade. Two
ands, each of twelve pieces, under the leadership of
harles Schuppert, himself a familiar feature of such
'•asions, accompanied the parade.
The parade arrived at Lyric Hall about 8:30. The
ill was beautifully decorated under the direction of
■ • Committee on Arrangements, and presented an
inspiring appearance as the great audience took seats.
A very gratifying feature of the evening was the large
number of ' ' old timers ' ' present. Conspicuous among
these may be mentioned Joseph Trewren — "Black
Joe" of the Union's early days; Herman Gutstadt,
whose name is linked with the older associations of the
Union, and W. J. B. Mackay, for many years editor
of the Coast Seamen 's Journal and one of the
Union 's most efficient officers.
Many ladies were present, among these being a num-
ber who have graced the 6th of March celebrations
every year since their infancy. Altogether the Lyric
Hall presented the appearance of a reunion of old
friends and comrades. The Union's "coming of age"
was marked by an assemblage that did full honor to
the occasion.
After a stirring selection by the band, Grand Mar-
shal Andersen, in a brief address that aroused much
enthusiasm, introduced the chairman of the evening,
Comrade Walter Macarthur. The Chairman made a
few opening remarks and then introduced, as the first
speaker of the evening, Mr. Alfred Fuhrman, one of
the Union 's oldest members, and now a leading attor.
ney of San Francisco. Mr. Fuhrman was enthusiastic-
ally received and repeatedly cheered during the
course of his remarks. The gentleman said:
Fuhrman Reviews Old Times.
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Sailors' Union, and
Friends:
That 1 am t he first, and probably the only attorney
in the world that was ever called to the bar from be-
fore the mast, of that fact I am proud, and equally
proud of my connection with your organization, as an
officer and member, during the first eight years of its
existence.
During the past thirteen years of constant practice
before the courts of this State, I have participated in
many legal controversies affecting the property of my
clients as well as my own personal fortunes, — yet, of
many of these legal battles even the names of my
clients and the issues raised and decided, arc dimly
recollect eel and almost forgotten,— but the first eight
years of your history, — antedating my legal practice, —
are indelibly engraven upon the tablets of my memory.
There is no organization that can point with more
pride to its past record than yours, — and yel how
humble and unpromising its beginning! In March,
1885, there were few labor organizations worthy of the
name on the ''oast. Seamen wen- the common prey of
blood-money boarding bouse masters, crimps, clothing-
dealers ami shipowners. Another reduction in wages
to $20.00 per month for the coasting trade was Hie
straw that broke the camel 's back. II was then thai
in sheer desperation, we, the pariahs of society, —
friendless, homeless and moneyless,— assembled on
Folsom-street Dock, under the broad canopy of
beaven, and on thai memorable night, with only the
stars above to give us light, guidance and hope, reas-
serted that never-dying truth, that all men, including
seamen, are created equal, and that seamen of right
ought to be free and independent of crimp, clothing-
dealer and boarding-master.
The significance of this declaration and its far-
reaching effects, though now plainly visible on all
hands, will be even better judged as years roll by, for
it was not only the clarion call for the seamen the
world over to unite in fraternal union, but it marks
the beginning of the modern trade-union movement
on the Pacific Coast.
You men can not possibly imagine what immense
difficulties we had to surmount in the beginning.
Friendless and unaided, the universal objects of con-
tempt,— almost the entire public, and especially the
daily press, ridiculing the very idea of seamen organ-
izing and adopting as their motto "One for all and
all for one," — and aye, worst of all, our own ship-
mates viewing with distrust and suspicion our laud-
able efforts to ameliorate their condition and to
arouse them to united action. But as all great move-
ments are bound to bring forth the right men at the
right hour, so some of your first officers, realizing that
the first requisite to success would be to establish and
insure confidence in the honesty of the intentions of
the leaders, advocated the greatest sacrifices in order
to convince our shipmates that our motives were pure
and unselfish.
It was then that your officers volunteered to labor
for your cause for next to nothing, and from April to
September, 1885, your officers voluntarily accepted in
full payment for their services 50 cents per week, with
hash, such as it was, a clay pipe and a handful of to-
bacco thrown in. True, it was barely enough to keep
body and soul together, but our enthusiasm made up
the deficiency, and undaunted by ridicule, contempt,
and prison bars, gradually winning the confidence of
our shipmates, we kept on until success was assured.
Of all the old officers of that period there are only
two left to my knowledge, namely, my old friend and
shipmate Edward Andersen and myself. Many a time
did old An. and I stand shoulder to shoulder in de-
fense of our principles, and many times did we land in
jail, though more often upon entirely false and
trumped-up charges, brought by our enemies, the
crimps and boarding-masters.
But prison walls could not dampen our spirits; we
were imbued with that enthusiasm which knew not de-
feat, and for the sake of our Union we gladly face I
death.
Vividly do I recall now, and I know friend Andersen
will remember, that evening in September, 1885, when
at the corner of Broadway and Battery I was suddenly
attacked by a band of armed crimps, when I was
stabbed and, stunned by the blow. Bank bleeding to thi
ground, believing Jli.it the end had eoine. I'.ul
had decreed otherwise, for in the nick of time there

and even suffered death, in order that you might en-
joy the fruits of their labors and sacrifii
As I stated in the opening, March 6, 1885, marks the
beginning of the modern trade-union movement on this
Coast. The missionaries from your organization not
merely carried the gospel of unionism to distant lands
and set about establishing the Brotherhood of the
but they invaded and aroused the workers ashore. Sea-
men were mainly instrumental in organizing the local
trade-unions. It was this Union which issued the call
in April, 1886, to all city unions, and which resulted
in the formation of the Federated Trades, and in that
body seamen again played a conspicuous part and
brought it to the very height of prosperity. For two
terms I acted as President of that body, ami my suc-
cessors were again seamen, namely, my old friend and
shipmate W. J. B. Mackay, and after him, your efficient
presiding officer, Walter Macarthur.
But in speaking of the early history of the Union,
the most important event is the establishment of the
Coast Seamen's Journal.
When I first advocated the idea in 1887, even my old
friend An. here, who usually seconded every motion I
made in those days, laughed at the proposition, ami
considered me a fit subject for a lunatic asylum. The
very thought of seamen becoming journalists seemed
too absurd. But happily I persisted, and as I was then
too busy with spreading the gospel of unionism among
the benighted shore-people to do it all alone, I sent
for my dear friend Xavier Leder, then Union agent in
Eureka, to whom I was attached by ties of tenderest
friendship- more closely than to a brother in blood,
and who was entirely in accord with my idea.
Without asking this Union for a single cent we is
sued the first publication — the printers accepting
my word that they would be paid, and they were paid,
— and when success was assured, we turned it over to
the Union, and thus since November 1^, 1887, it has
regularly appeared every week, without interruption,
the first paper in the world ever published and edited
by seamen only, by men who sailed before the mast, —
and it is to-day recognized as the foremost maritime
journal in the world.
I rather enjoy the distinction of being the originator
of the idea and persistent advocate of the establish-
ment of the Coast Seamen's Journal than ha
won the most important legal battle in the Supreme
Court of the United States. My friend Leder was tin
first editor, and he was shortly after ably assisted by
my old shipmate Mackay, who also became his worthy
successor in 1889. And Mackay in turn found an able
helpmate in the early nineties in a young man, who
likewise succeeded to the throne as editor in 1S94, and
who was initiated into the labor movement during the
latter part of the stirring history of this Union, and
therefrom gained that valuable training to which he
owes his present high position in the movement of this
country, — I refer to your presiding officer, Walter
Macarthur.
All these men made great sacrifices for your
Leder, Mackay and Macarthur, as they all slaved and
worked for your good for the mere pittance of $5 per
week for many years. And as you had three editors,
so you had three secretaries, — 1 do not mention the
fourth, because he fill by the wayside, and let his
memory be covered with the charitable mantle of ob-
livion. But of the three, keep green the memory of
Rasmus Nelson, your first secretary, who in 1885 and
1886 did more than any other man to keep you to-
gether, and also the memory of John Ilaist, his worthy
successor, both of whom are now dead, and both are
entitled to your reverent remembrance; and treat with
kindness and affection the successor of Haist, your
present efficient secretary, now working in the interests
of all seamen at the Capitol in Washington.
1 mention all these facts, because 1 am the best
qualified to speak on these subjects, and because my
motives in reciting these events and speaking of these
men, can not be questioned, for I do not speak of my-
self. T am happily so situated that I am independent,
— financially and otherwise, — that I do not need and
have never needed or applied in the past to this Union
for any personal benefit. The only money I ever re-
ceived from your organization were the fifty cents per
week from April to September, 1885, when I was your
officer, and not a cent since, though I have collected for
you and turned over to you hundreds and hundreds of
dollars received from organizations and the public
when pleading your cause during the early battle-;.
And as far as your members are concerned, there is not
one who can boast that he ever paid me one dollar for
legal services.
Bui it is for my old friends and shipmates that I
speak, when I ask you to treat with reverence ami re-
spect the men of 1885, ami those of the following
fighting years ending with 1893, through whose efforts
your present glorious position was achieved. The
period since 1893 I count but little, for since that
time you have continually sailed before the wind with
a free sheet, and in a sea of continual prosperity.
Treat with consideration and respect my old friend
Andersen, the best Treasurer you ever had or possibly
could bave, and especially now, that he has lost his
true helpmate, the wife of his bosom, a good and true
woman, who felt for the wrongs of the seamen, and
whose memory should likewise lie cherished by the
members of your craft. And not alone old An., but
all the old pillars of your Union — Mackay, Macarthur,
Furuseth, and all the others of that time, — ami re
member, that the highest reward that can be bestowed
upon any mortal is not the giving of gold and silver,
but recognition ami appreciation of services an. I duty
well performed.
Remember them all in kindness ami affection, and
also the few friends you had in the days of adversity,
such as my old friend and your faithful counsel,
Brother Button, my old friend and your old champion
Brother Barry, and Judge Maguire. if for no other
reason than that he is the father of the Maguire Act,
and also Mr. Livernash, who, likewise, aided your
cause in Congress. These are not sunshine-friends,
but friends when sorely needed. You need not re-
r me, for I shall always remember you, and even
you can not entirely forget me, for you can not write
a history of your Union without reciting the history of
the best eight years of my life.
I speak thus freely, because it may be tin last time
that 1 shall ever address you in public. It is now nine
years to-night since I last spoke to you, and consider-
ing the uncertainties of human life, ami the fact that
my practice, my business affairs and conditions in
life keep me far removed from your associations and
environments, I may not have another opportunity of
telling you of the glory of the past and the struggles
of the infancy of your organization.
But whatever fate may have in store for me, wher-
ever I may be in years to come, I shall always recall
with pleasure my connection with your organization, —
remember with satisfaction that I was your last Presi-
dent in 1885, and will never be ashamed to own that
I sailed before the mast.
The Chairman, touching upon the legislative work
of the Union, and the prominent part taken in that
work by Judge James G. Maguire, the former Repre-
sentative of the Fourth Congressional District of Cali-
fornia in Congress, introduced Mr. Maguire by his
well-earned title of the "American Plimsoll. "
The distinguished gentleman, who was greeted with
loud applause as he arose to speak, made one of his
usual masterly addresses, in the course of which lie
said:
i. ox the Maguire Act.
It is not my intention to make an extended address,
but simply to offer my congratulations upon this, the
twenty-first anniversary of your splendid organization.
Your Chairman has related the part taken by myself in
the passage of tin- Act with which my name has lie.
identified. As to that, I would say that the Ma-
Act is not the work of my brain, but of your own
Union. When, in 1892, 1 was asked by your Legis-
lative Committee to introduce in Congress a bill for
the improvement of the seamen's conditions, l readily
consented. 1 knew little or nothing of maritime at
fairs, but I did know that the seamen Suffered great
hardships, due in a measure to the defective i lit ion
in the law.
I introduced the bill, ami immediately thereafter dis-
covered that the committee to which it was referred
was composed of men who, as a rule, knew little more
than myself about the subject, of men who did not
know a stempost from a bowsprit, i immediately

then in Chicago, and urged him to come on to Wash-
ington. Furuseth at once responded, and we went to
work, I in looking to the legal questions involved, he in
educating the committee in seamanship.
As a result of our labors we converted many mem
bers of the committee from stubborn opponents to
warm friends. At first we were told that a law such
as we proposed would destroy the shipping of the
country. To that objection I replied that if the ship-
ping of the country could not be carried on excepl at
the cost of the manhood of the seamen, it ought to be
royed. One of our most distinguished and influen-
tial Converts, a man who for many years held a posi-
tion of leadership in the Republican party in Con-
gress, was Nelson L. Dingley, Jr. Mr. Dingley, al-
though at first opposed to us, when he learned the truth
regarding maritime affairs, became a warm supporter,
and to his aid we owe much of the success afterward
achieved.
The passage of the Maguire Act was primarily due
to the Sailors' Union, to its Legislative Committee, ami
its representative at Washington. 1 consider myself
particularly fortunate in having been associated with
you in the earlier period of your Pnion's history, and
thus having been enabled to do whatever lay in my
power to make possible the success that you have won.
I congratulate you and wish you God speed in your
work of improving ami elevating the great seafaring
craft
Button Speaks on the Law.
Mr. II. W. Mutton was then introduced as a gentle-
man who has for many years acted as the Union's
trusted legal counsellor. The gentleman, who was
heartily welcomed, delivered an extended review of the
early experiences of the Union in matters of litigation.
Many episodes which have become part of the history
of the Union were recalled by the speaker, to the great
edification of his hearers. To many of the older mem-
bers present the incidents related by Mr. Mutton were
of particular interest, by reason of their persona] point.
In accordance with his usual custom on the lith id'
March, Mr. Button interspersed his remarks with much
sound advice concerning the conduct of the Union and
its members in their relations with their employers.
The Chairman prefaced his introduction of the next
speaker by an allusion to the fact that the labor move-
ment of San Francisco and of the country at large has
not always been as strong or as popular as at present ;
that that movement hasn't always had as many friends
and champions among the public at large at at present.
Reference was made to the fact that at one time in the
history of the Sailors' Union that organization had
but one friend in the public life of the community, but
one friend in need, and he proved a friend indeed.
When, in L893, in the darkest days of the Union 's ex
istence, when its enemies were conspiring for its life
and the public press was clamoring for the life of its
officials, but one voice was raised in a demand for fair
play ami a calm hearing. That voice was the voice ot
James II. Barry. Upon the public platform and in the
columns of The Star Mr. Barry had insistently and in-
telligently espoused the cause of the Sailors' Union, as
of every other cause that needs assistance. Mr. Barn
was introduced as the Union 's most generous, de-
voted and courageous friend in public life. The gen-
tleman was tendered a well-deserved ovation upon ris-
ing to speak. Mr. Barry in part said:
Jamks II. Barry on Henry George.
You have heard our distinguished and dear friend,
.Judge Maguire, disclaim credit for the Maguire A.-t.
I would follow his example and disclaim the credit so
generously attributed to me by your Chairman, as the
only friend of the seamen in the beginning of their
struggle from the darkness of brutalized conditions
on board ship into the light of godlike manhood.
The seamen had a friend who, more than all others
whose names I now recall, championed their cause. I
can not better utilize the limited time at my disposal
than by recounting one instance of the services ren-
der,,I the seamen by the great man whom I have m
mind.
Many years ago there arrived in San Prancisco an
American ship, bringing with her a more than usually
revolting tale of brutality to seamen. The vessel in
question was an extreme instance of the "hell-ship."
From the beginning of her voyage degradation and
cruelties beyond the power of pen to describe or
tongue to relate had been perpetrated upon the help-
less crew. So frightful and unendurable were the
tortures inflicted upon these victims of "man's in-
humanity to man" that several members of the cren
committed suicide by jumping overboard, as the only
means of escape from their tormentors. Others of the
crew came ashore in a maimed and crippled condi-
tion, and all of them bore evidences of the awful ex-
periences through which they hail passed.
The bloody record of that voyage cried for ven-
geance. The good people of our city were appalled,
their sentiments of humanity outraged by the cos-
graceful, the inhuman, conduct of the bucko mates.
Amid this state of public indignation one man arose
and, with courage equal to his convictions, demand-
ed that the guilty ones should receive their just de-
serts, so far as that were possible, at the hands of
the law. This man's indignation did not expend
itself in mere words; it went further and took the
form of deeds, deeds that struck terror to the hearts
of these evil-minded cowards, who now at last felt
themselves pursued by a Nemesis whose pursuit would
end only as the prison gates closed upon them.
Singe-handed, in the columns of his own paper, at
that period one of the most influential members of
our daily press, and with his own money, our friend
maintained the cause of justice, or at least retribu-
tion, for the seamen, lie offered a reward for the ar-
rest of the fleeing buckos and devoted his entire re-
sources, so far as necessary, to securing their convic-
tion in the courts. As a result of these herculean ef-
forts the men responsible for the deaths of these sea-
men and the sufferings of their shipmates were sen-
tenced to various terms of imprisonment. Inadequate
as was the punishment meted out to these brutes in
human form, the fact that they were punished at all
speaks volumes for the courage and devotion of the
man who made it possible. This was, in fact, the first
instance in which the brutalities to seamen, at that
time so common on board American ships, had ever
received at least a measure of the punishment they so
richly, deserved.
The vessel upon which these cruelties took place
was the American ship Sunrise. The man who ren-
dered such signal service, not only to the stricken
crew of that vessel, but also to the entire seafaring
craft, and not only to that craft but also to every
citizen who loves his fellow man, has since become
world-famous. Bis name is now held in honored mem-
ory oy millions of people in every part of the civil-
ized world by reason of his great work for the Im-
provement of social and industrial conditions, anil
particularly by reason of his masterpiece of the liter-
ature of political economy. The work to which I refer
is "Progress and Poverty"! The man to whom I
refer is Eenry George!
I agree with Judge Maguire, that but for your or-
ganization the Maguire Act would have been impos-
sible. Thus it is with all work for the improvement
of the conditions of labor. Labor will never lack
friends; but its friends will ever be comparative
powerless until it becomes organized, and, through
organization, is enabled to help itself and avail itself
to the fullest extent of the help of its friends. It is
with the greatest pleasure and pride that I join you
this evening, congratulating you upon your success
and wishing you an ever-increasing measure thereof
as the years roll on.
In introducing Brother Win. 1'. McCabe, Secretary
of the San Francisco Labor Council, the Chairman at-
tributed much of the Union's success to its affiliation
with that and other central labor bodies. Owing to
the lateness of the hour, Brother McCabe spoke very
briefly, but to the point, as follows:
McCabe Speaks for the Labor Council.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Much has been said about the birth of this organi-
zation in 18S5 and its mode of gaining concessions at
that time. To-day, however, we are living in a differ
ent age and have other modes of procedure. We have
more modern ideas.
Instead of the employers permitting us to do a
fighting, they are making the conditions modern by

(Contributed by the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Unions.)
The Sailor of Fiction.
One reason why the general public is seem-
ingly so much in the dark concerning the real
needs of the merchant seamen is the fact that
the education of the public on this subject has
been derived mainly from the "fo'csle
yams" turned out by the cheap, trashy
magazines. In these "yarns" the sail-
or hero is parodied in true Gilbert and
Sullivan style, and the thing is done
in such a slick manner that the guile-
less landsman is made to believe that he is
up against the real able-seaman. Mr. Lands-
man's risibility is tickled with the grotesque
antics of a grog-blossomed, rollicking "Jolly
Rover," with a "wife in every port", who
philosophizes in a lingo invented by the ' ' keel-
haul-me-scuttlebut, " writers and approved by
successive generations of comic opera artists.
When this Jack of the Seven Seas is not
busy "stowing away a quid" in his "lar-
board cheek," or "squinting knowingly to
windward over the lee bow" with his "weather
eye," he is usually pictured in the act of spit-
ting on his "flippers," tilting his "tarpaulin
o'er to leeward," hitching up his bell-bottom-
ed trousers and "tripping the light fantastic"
on the "orlop deck booby hatch." When it
begins to blow hard he gets a handspike from
the "arm chest" and ships it in the end of the
windlass, singing the meanwhile: "Yo, heave
ho, me hearties; fifteen men on the dead man's
chest," or something equally "salt." In fine
weather he "lets her go by the wind" with "a
rolling sea and a flowing sheet," and "splices
the mainbrace" at "seven bells in the first
dogwateh. " In short, the sailor of fiction has
Artemus Ward's "amoosin cuss" beaten fifty-
seven different ways as a raiser of the merry
snicker. To represent him as an ordinary hu-
man being, with all the virtues, failings, long-
ings and aspirations of the average man
ashore, or to make him talk and act sanely,
would, of course, be a heinous violation of the
nautical proprieties evolved by syndicated
magazine journalism. Even writers of sea
stories who have served their time at sea, and
know better, are to a great extent forced into
this silly rut of caricature in order to have
their manuscripts accepted by the discerning
publishers. It goes without saying that the
publishers, being intelligent men, know what
they are getting for their money ; but they ex-
cuse themselves by pointing out that people
read magazines to be amused rather than to be
instructed, which is but another way of say-
ing that the world wants to be deceived.
"Mundus vult decipi," as the ancients had it.
Nevertheless, the "fo'csle yarn" brand of
literature has done more, perhaps, to injure
the standing of the merchant seamen with the
general public than any other single agency
operating in that direction. Thanks to the
educational influence exerted by the Seamen's
Union, however, much of the superstitious
nonsense cherished by landsmen in regard to
seamen has been dispelled of late, and in time
it is to be hoped the public will know tin:
seaman as he really is.
.Men who will only rally to one another's
assistance when they have a common grievance
are hardly of the kind that will make greal
sacrifices for the cause of human liberty.
Child Slavery.
The Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman, rabbi of
the Temple Emanu-EI, New York City, in a
recent sermon on "The Abolition of Child
Slavery," spoke of the evil results to mankind
and civilization from a citizenship largely
composed of men and women born of parents
who have been stunted in growth by labor in
childhood, saying :
Of such poor stuff will thousands upon thousands
of our citizens be constituted. They will grow into
men and women without education, minus morals, spir-
ituality, religion, or ideals ; and yet they will have it
in their power to aid in shaping the political, indus-
trial, and social destiny of our country.
This phase of our child-labor problem is
really the most serious of all, yet it is one
which usually receives but little considera-
tion. The majority of men are either unable
or unwilling to look beyond their immediate
sphere of action and forecast the probable
results of their individual or collective sin-
ning against society. Hence the child-labor
evil, when recognized as an evil at all, has
generally received due consideration in its
more immediate aspects; but few of those
who have studied the subject have formed or
expressed any accurate ideas of the misery
and sufferings which the child labor of this
generation is bound to transmit to and inflict
upon the as yet unborn generations of this
country. Yet, there is hardly any law of
Nature so well demonstrated by men them-
selves as the law that the sins of the fathers
shall be visited upon their children even un-
to the third and fourth generation. And
surely it is a sin against Nature for a child
with an immature body and unformed men-
tality to be worked from ten to fourteen hours
a day at some unhealthy, soul and body de-
stroying occupation, such as those in which
two million children in the United States are
to-day engaged. What can be expected from
such a monstrous industrial system but a race
of physical, mental, and moral degenerates?
It is all very nice and soothing for pious
gentlemen to quote Scripture to the effect that
the poor we have always with us, or for smug
scientists to talk learnedly about Nature's
elimination of the unfit. But it must be re-
membered that the power to cope with the
conditions of existence, and with environ-
ment, is itself measured by the nature of the
conditions and environment to be coped with.
Therefore, if as a nation we create artificial
conditions and environments that ruin the
health, minds and morals of two million chil-
dren, we can not consistently fall back upon
Scripture or Nature, to justify our wrongdo-
ing. All who know anything at all know that
under a rational social and industrial system,
based upon a strict observance of the laws of
Nature, the children that are now being ruin-
ed in our mills, factories and mines could be
raised up into citizens with sane minds in
sound bodies, of the kind that arc needed to
"prove the destiny of man." But there is
the trouble. Our social and industrial systems
are based upon the strict observance of the
laws of greed, selfishness and ignorance One
of the results of this is child slavery. I lie ,.f-

D. M. Parry bethought himself of the fine op-

of the soulless trade-unions for the whole
trouble. Any kind of a brush is good enough
for coolie-labor advocates like Parry to paint
the trade unions black, but a pig-tail is even
better in this pro-Celestial age. However, the
trade-unions can console themselves with the
reflection that, if there is any blame attaching
to them in connection with this miserable
Chinese business, it is merely thai they have
done more than any other body id' citizens to
prevent the Orienfaliza! ion of this Republic
which .Mr. Parry and his "Opeu Shop" r-
ger associates have been laboring so assiduous
ly to bring about. And, boycott, or no bos
colt, organized labor will keep righl on agi-
tating and fighting for Chinese Exclusion

The American bark General Fairchild, of San
Francisco, has been purchased by the Seattle Ship-
ping Company.
Erickson F. May, second-assistant engineer of the
steamer Enterprise, was killed by the explosion of an
auixliary condenser on board that vessel at San Fran-
cisco on March 5.
George H. Haudsley, Wesley A. Heflinger and J.
Kupley, with alleged claims for wages amounting to
$334, have libeled the gasoline steamer George H.
Bailey for that amount, at San Francisco.
Captain George Seaman has been appointed master
of the steamer Whittier, of the Union Oil Company's
fleet. Captain George E. Monroe has lately resigned
from the command of the steamer Argyll in the same
fleet.
Telegraphic advices received at San Francisco on
March 8 reported that the British steamer Celestial
Empire, from Liverpool for Vancouver, B. C, had
been ashore at Caravelles, but was floated, and pro-
ceeded to Montevideo, with no apparent damage.
By way of London comes the news that the British
steamer Dumbarton, which sailed from San Fran-
cisco on September 25 last for Nicolaefsk, is still in
the ice, and it is recommended that no measures be
taken for salvage before the middle of April.
The Senate Committee on Commerce has rendered
a favorable report on the amendment to the Sundry
Civil bill appropriating $400,000 for the improvement
of the mouth of the Columbia River. A favorable re-
port has also been ordered on a bill for the same pur-
pose.
Representative Kahn has introduced a bill in Con-
gress providing for filling in a portion of the Hono-
lulu naval station, known as the Reef, at a cost of
$35,000. The material to be used is being dredged
from the harbor. A portion of the reclaimed land is
to be set aside for fortification purposes.
A resolution was introduced in Congress on March 8
by Representative Hayes, directing the Engineer
corps to survey and report the cost of removing the
following rocks in San Francisco Bay: Centisima,
near Bonita channel; two near the Mail Dock; Noon-
day, Anita, Mission, Packard, Invincible, Whiting and
Fifteen-foot.
The long overdue bark Drumcraig has finally been
posted as uninsurable, and was crossed from the rein-
surance board on March 5. The Drumcraig, owned by
the Barneson-Hibberd Company, and commanded by
Captain Neil McCallum, sailed from Astoria 173 days
ago for Manila, P. I., with a cargo of lumber, and
has never been heard from.
The overdue British bark Swansea Castle, ninety
ilays out on the passage from St. Lucia for Table
Bay, S. A., and for several days previously quoted at
10 per cent for reinsurance, was on March 5 report-
ed to have been abandoned at sea by her crew. The
telegram came from London, and contained no details
of the loss of the vessel. The Swansea was a small
bark, thirty years old.
Captain D. Robinson, master of the barkentine
Skagit, died at sea on February 18, presumably from
an attack of appendicitis, while the vessel was bound
from San Pedro to Port Gamble. The Skagit arrived
there on March 6 and reported the death of the
master, who was buried at sea. Captain Robinson
was about 65 years old, and for the past forty years
had been in the employ of Pope & Talbot, owners of
the Skagit.
Representative Knowland has been informed that
the sub-committee of Naval Affairs Committee of
the House has made a favorable report on his bill
to waive the age limit and admit to the pay corps
of the Navy Pay Clerk Walter D. Bollard. When
the Yosemite was wrecked near Guam, on November
16, 1900, Bollard went back to the ship after she had
been abandoned and saved many thousand dollars in
gold and silver.
The steamers Orizaba, Yucatan and Saratoga of
the Ward line, New York, have been purchased by the
Northwestern Steamship Company for use on the
Seattle-Alaska route. They are each of 3000 tons reg-
ister and have a speed of fourteen knots. The Ori-
zaba is due to arrive in Seattle on May 20. She will
leave for Nome on June 1. The Saratoga will arrive
July 1, and will go on the Valdez run, and the Yuca-
tan is due some time this fall.
The four-masted schooner Irene, one of the most
modern of her class on the Coast, has made a record
by sailing from San Francisco to Puget Sound in less
than four days. The Irene, under command of Cap-
tain Mitchell, left the former port at 9:30 o'clock on
the morning of March 2, and, at daylight on the 6th,
passed Tatoosh on her way into the Sound, the actual
time on tiie trip being three days and twenty hours,
or almost as fast as any steamer could have made the
trip.
With her mainmast gone and remaining portion of
her deckload of lumber awry, the steam-schooner
Brooklyn arrived at San Francisco on March 11, six-
teen hours from Caspar, on the Mendocino coast. Cap-
tain Norberg reported that while hauling out from
Caspar on the 9th the steaemr suddenly listed to port
in the heavy sea, carrying away the hornbuckle and
causing the loss of about 50,000 feet of the deckload.
The upper part of the mainmast also went by the
board at the same time.
Officers of the steamer Ning Chow, of the China
Mutual Steam Navigation Company, which arrived at
Seattle, Wash., on March 8, state that the company is
building three new steamers, each with a carrying
capacity of approximately 20,000 tons displacement,
for the Seattle-Liverpool route. Two new ships are
already completed and one will arrive on the Coast
this summer. Her name is the Tucer. The others will
be sent out as soon as they are finished, which will bo
this year.
Two tugboats are under construction at the ship
yard of S. O. Pasquinnuci for the Golden Gate Fish
Company, the frames of the vessels being already in
place. The boats, it is reported, are to be superior
to any others of the kind running out of San Fran-
cisco, having a length of 75 feet, breadth 18 feet and
depth of 8 feet, fitted with oil-burning apparatus and
with every modern equipment. They will be each of
140 horse-power and capable of making twelve knots
an hour. Both boats will be ready for launching in
about four months.
Representatives of Alaskan canners and fishermen
appeared before the House Committee on Territories
on March 7 to oppose the Cushnian bill for the further
regulation of fishing along the Alaskan coast. C. W.
Dorr of San Francisco, Captain D. H. Jarvis, Repre-
sentative Humphreys and Fred Stimson of Seattle ad-
dressed the committee. The Cushman bill gives the
Department of Commerce and Labor practically a free
hand in regulating Alaskan fisheries and the meas-
ure was criticised chiefly on the ground that it cen-
ters too great a power in the Department.
Within the past two weeks contracts have been
awarded on the Coast for the building of five steam-
schooners, all of large carrying capacity, and all ex-
clusively freight vessels, with no accommodations for
passengers. Three of these will be built at Gray 's
Harbor — one for Fred Linderman, one for Beadle
Brothers, and one, to be named the Ben Butler, for
O. J. Olson. The other two are to be built, one at Eu-
reka for George G. Rundle of San Francisco, and the
other at some other Coast shipyard for A. W. Beadle.
The last-named vessel will have a capacity for more
than 1,000,000 feet of lumber.
The codfishing schooner Glen arrived at San Fran-
cisco on March 8, from Schumpan, Alaska, with only
5,000 cod in her hold and leaking badly. The Glen
reports that the codfishing schooner Stanley was
ashore in Pirate Cove on December 2, but was float-
ed again without material damage, and is expected
to arrive soon with a light cargo of fish. The
schooner Fortuna was ashore on January 24 at Eagle
Harbor, and lost her anchor and chain. One of the
crew is reported to have been drowned during the win-
ter. The schooner Marion, a codfisher, was wrecked
by going on a rock at Unga in December. The crew
were saved.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on March 11: British bark Daylight, 199
days from New York for Yokkaichi, 10 per cent.
American schooner W. F. Garms, 111 days from New-
castle, Australia, for Eleele, 60 per cent. British bark
Drummuir, ninety-eight days from Newcastle, Austra-
lia, for San Francisco, 15 per cent. American bark
Pactolus, sixty-nine days from Newcastle, Australia,
for Honolulu, 15 per cent. French bark Pierre An-
tonine, sixty-four days from Newcastle, Australia, for
Honolulu, 15 per cent. American schooner Rosamond,
eighty-three days from Newcastle, Australia, for
Eleele, 20 per cent. American bark Sea King, fifty-
four days from Newcastle, Australia, for San Fran-
cisco, 15 per cent.

eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and tuis tube restored to its normal condition, hear-
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

An Australian just returned from South
Africa tells The Bulletin some startling things
in connection with the Chinese slave-traffic
in that misfortunate land. When the Jewish
plunderers had obtained their cheap Chinese
slaves, the question arose about importing
Chinese women for them. These, however,
could not be obtained; the Viceroys dis-
couraged the idea, and women steadfastly re-
fused to go to Chowth Africa. Then the
Jews proposed to import an Asiatic sisterhood
from Japan, but even the Monkey kicked at
the idea of exporting women for the use of
underground slaves, who were mostly mur-
derers and bandits in their own country.
Cohen then tried to call in the Kaffir girl, but
the Kaffir men greeted him with a meat-axe,
and so much general riot occurred that Cohen
bad to give up that idea also. Yet his Chi-
nese slaves demanded women, and as black
women cost too much bloodshed, and yellow
women were not obtainable, what about
whites? Cohen had no beastly pride of race,
and he was as ready to prostitute white wo-
men to his Chinese scum as he was to murder
white men to get the cheap agony. The slums
of every South African town were scoured,,
and the most degraded women in the land
were given free railway passages and enough
money to get to Jew 'burg. But in all South
Africa there were not enough degraded fe-
males to nearly supply the demand, and
Cohen took off his coat and boldly went in
for recruiting prostitutes in the slums of
English and Continental cities. They were
sent to Africa, and supplied with enough
money to evade the law against destitute per-
sons, and other means were used to get over
the "undesirable" clauses, and the awful
cargo finally landed at Jew 'burg. These im-
migrants had a portion of the town practical-
ly given up to them, and the mining com-
panies deduct so much per month from each
Chinaman's wages for their remuneration.
The women complain that the companies rob
them by paying over only a small percentage
of the money obtained from the Chinamen,
and demand the right to make their own
terms with the individual Chinese. Some of
the companies have granted the right, but
others stick to the original practice, and there
is a chance that the moral sense of the Em-
pire may be outraged by seeing Cohen sued
in the courts by his slaves' prostitutes for
the full price of their degradation. In the
meantime the Yoshiwarra is worked in the
interests of the mines, and the inmates have
to buy all their necessaries from the com-
pany stores, and not only is the Chow who
does insufficient work flogged or otherwise
admonished on Sundays, but he is also pre-
vented from seeing his while Mary. And as
for the prestige of the white race — well, the
Kaffir begins to regard the white race as an
institution which exists to supply degraded
women to the scum of Asia. — The Bulletin,

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1906.
PASS THE HONORS AROUND!
The annual Sailors' Union celebration, like
all affairs of the kind, is an i asion of mutu-
al congratulation on the part of the organized
seamen and their friends. Nice things are
said by the seamen in recognition of the
services rendered by those who have be-
friended them, and the latter, in turn, pay
the seamen the compliment thai is their due.
Tis well ! The path of Life runs in desert
places much of the time, and men's exchanges
t Ft en fake the form of half -bricks. 'Tis
well occasionally that we wander into the
oasis, there to dally over the scented blossoms
and weave garlands of flowers for the neck
that is all too calloused by the everyday yoke.
What though the garden be stripped of its
last bud! What though the seamen's friends
he slightly overladen with floral tributes and
the seamen themselves be perfumed like a
dandy! The flowers will grow as quickly as
they are plucked; the seamen "s friends will
find their load lightening' with the first setting
of the sun, and the seaman himself will find
that the pleasing odors which saluted his nos-
trils overnight stand no show before the first
morning whiff of his accustomed element. 'Tis
well that we load our horse with salt rather
than with sponges, especially when setting out
upon a wet journey. 'Tis well that we speak
the best word possible whenever possible;
otherwise there would be no use of celebrating
at all.
It occurs to the Journal that, after all is
said and done on the 6th of March, something
remains to be said concerning the men who are
"missing but accounted for" upon that occa-
sion. These men constitute the membership
by and large of the Sailors' Union, in-
eluding those who are intrusted with the re-
sponsibilities of office. Naturally, a few names
are singled out by the speakers at the Union 's
anniversary, partly on account of the particu-
lar services rendered by these men in the
work of the Union, but more by reason of
the circumstance or accident that gives them
prominence. It is no depreciation of these
men to say that they do not bear to the Union
the same importance that, they bear in the
speeches on the 6th of March. To say this is
simply to state the patent truth that the Un-
ion does not rest upon the shoulders of any
one man nor upon those of any two or three
men. If there is one thing that, more than
another, has contributed to the substantial
growth of the Sailors' Union it is the fact of
a membership, intelligent, devoted and cour-
ageous to the last man. Some men have dis-
tinguished themselves more than others and
are entitled to due credit therefor, which
credit has always been bestowed. But, after
all. the main credit is due the membership at
large and particularly those who in the vari-
ous offices of janitor, patrolman, agent and
secretary pro tern, have carried on the great
work without public recognition. Let the hon-
ors be passed around! Douse the spot-light,
ami turn the sunlight upon every man who is
entitled to credit for the progress and pros-
perity of the Sailors' Union. Give the flor-
ist an order for forty-five hundred bouquets,
each as big as a head of cabbage. That's flic
Journal's ord?r for the 6th of March !
UNION LABEL CRITICISM.
'flu- editoi of the Lincoln (Neb.) Wageworker, Will
M. Maupin, who is also assistant-editor of Bryan's
Commoner, has investigated the effect among work-
ingmen of the union label. As might have been ex-
pected, the result was disappointing. Workingmen
themselves as a mass were found to have paid little or
no attention to the label, but bought the goods tin v
wanted, label or no label. So long as the union label
is an invitation to buy with reference only to the
union origin of goods and without reference to quality,
the label is not likely to prove of much value to labor
organizations. When the label cornea to mean that the
goods to which it is attached, being union-made goods,
are therefore superior goods, the trade-union label
fight will have been won.— The Public, Chicago, 111.
Presumably, Brother Post, of the Public,
is pleased to note the result, of the investiga-
tion made by Brother Maupin, of the \\ ",
worker and the Commoner. These two bro-
thers having determined the inutility of the
union label, the remainder of mankind will
immediately cease all thought of that device!
Henceforth the union label will be remem-
bered only as enhancing the fame of Broth-
ers Post and Maupin. These brothers, in
turn, will be remembered, not as the twin
prodigies of "democratic Democracy," but as
the men who, by themselves, put an everlast-
ing kibosh on a once popular and dangerous
fallacy. Brother Post's namesake and com-
petitor in the arduous business of restoring the
nation to its reason had better look to his
laurels and issue another ad, right away, ker-
vick !
" When the Label comes to mean — " Whal I
Does not the label mean something now '.'
Does not the union label already mean that
the goods to which it is attached, being union-
made goods, are therefore superior goods?
Does not the fact that goods are union-made
prove their superiority over the sweatshop and
tenement-house varieties? If not, by what
other evidence is superiority to be proved?
At any rate, everything else being equal, the
union label should prove an inducement to
purchasers who care anything for the welfare
of the workers in any given line. Surely the
brothers will not contend that the union label
must "come to mean" cheapness, among other
things !
The result of the investigation into the ef-
fect of the union label may be disappointing
to those who look for such results; but to
those who look for the facts in the case at
large the result is highly encouraging. No
better proof of the growing power of the union
label can be had than the increasing number
of articles to which that symbol is attached —
unless, possibly, the growing antagonism of
certain elements be accepted as evidence for
the defense. It is true that "workingmen
themselves, as a mass," are derelict in their
duty in this regard, but that proves nothing
against the union label. Workingmen and
other men are derelict in many other matters
— in the matter of "democratic Democracy,"
for instance — but the proponents and cham-
pions of such matters do not on that accounl
assume any deficiency in their own ideas and
methods. Not at all; on the contrary, thej
go to work the more enthusiastically to arouse
interest in their ideas and methods. The un-
ion label alone must stand condemned as value-
less by the mere fact that its value isn't as
widely appreciated as it might be! The bro?
thers may well pray that their own ideas
and methods be saved from any such test.
The union label fight is already won. The
only fight still in doubt is that of Brother
Post and the other Post, against the union
label. Even that fisht can hardly be regard-
ed as in doubt. In fact, that fight is lost —
irredeemably lost — and the brothers are now
fighting each other for the chief honors of de-
feat. Merely this, and nothing more.
The San Francisco Chronicle, as becomes
the leading Republican newspaper of the
West, rejoices over the passage of the Ship
Subsidy bill by the United States Senate. But
our contemporary's gladness on account of
the bill as a whole is tempered by sadness mi
account of certain details thereof, as witness
the following:
But the worst objection to the bill is that it .In, s
not provide that crews of subsidized ships shall be
mainly American citizens. Until 1912 it does not re-
quire that the number of American citizens shall be
"increased" to one-fourth of the crew. And it even
permits subsidies to be paid to ships employing Chinese
in the crews. That is not raising up American seamen
tn man the American Navy, which is what the people,
when they understand the matter, will emphatically
demand of subsidized ships.
The Chronicle's point is well taken. Of
course, the people will raise an outcry when
they realize that the public funds are being
expended for purely private purposes. It is
highly probable, too, that the people, "when
they understand the matter," will reject the
whole theory of subsidies as a means of "rais-
ing up American seamen," and turn their
attention to legislation directly in the interest
of the latter, as the more logical way of reach-
ing the desired end.
As the Journal has "frequent remarked."
not least among the virtues of the union label
is the test which that device affords of real,
as distinguished from superficial, friendship
for organized labor. Many a man who has
posed, and been accepted, as a "friend of la-
bor" has been forced to declare his real senti-
ments when confronted with the necessity of
declaring for or against the union label. The
"friend of labor" who denies the union label
resembles the patriot (?) who should deny
his country's flag.
When Senator Frye attempted to discredit
the authority of Andrew Furuseth by saying
that the latter has ceased to be a sailor, the
inference was plain that the only real author-
ity on seamen's affairs is the man who has
never been to sea at all !
The defeat of Representative Grosvenor for
renomination to Congress removes from that
field the chief opponent of legislation on be-
half of the American seamen. One by one tin"
daisies fall !

The Sailors' Sixth.
(Continued from Page 2.)
turning their troubles over to the courts and lawyers,
seeking refuge from the march of progress in injunc-
tions.
The employers have often said that the working peo-
ple do not appreciate concessions granted them, but if
they could see the demonstration here this evening
they would agree that the sailors, like other trade-
unionists, are certainly loyal and grateful. It requires
constant agitation and attention at this present stage
to keep what our forefathers so nobly fought for. It
is only through the advice of the older guard that Ave
are what we are to-day.
Trade-unionism is somewhat changed since the birth
of this organization in many ways, for in their in-
fancy the trade-unions of organized labor did not con-
sider the troubles of the other organizations as they do
to-day through the affiliated central bodies. It is there
that we hear the various complaints and mete out jus-
tice according to the merits of the claims.
It is through this medium that the trade-unionists
render their brothers, especially by asking for the union
label on all goods purchased, store cards, etc., assist-
ance in their struggle for better wages and conditions.
This in return enables such unions to assist others, not
dependent on the union label, in times of financial
trouble.
As to the Sailors ' Union, the records of the Labor
Council have always shown it to be very liberal to its
sister unions at all times, and furthermore, was ever
ready to lend its best material to assist them in what-
ever just cause they were engaged.
Before introducing tne last speaker of the evening,
the Chairman read the following dispatches, each of
which was received with cheers :
Strive on, comrades, until the Brotherhood of the
Sea is an accomplished fact! Best wishes from the
Aberdeen branch of the Sailors' Union of the
Pacific. WM. GOHL, Agent.
The Seattle branch sends greetings and best wishes
for continued welfare of our organization. May
the flag always remain at the masthead!
P. B. GILL, Agent.
As we began and have labored to make men in
our calling free, let us now, on this coming-of-age
birthday of our Union, renew our solemn pledge never
to rest until we shall be free in law and repute !
A. FURUSETH.
In introducing the Hon. Edward J. Livernash,
former Representative of the Fourth Congressional
District of California in Congress, the Chairman made
appreciative reference to that gentleman 's work on
behalf of the seamen during his term in Congress and
paid a compliment to his great ability and untiring
labors. When Mr. Livernash stepped to the front of
the platform he was greeted by an outbrust of cheer-
ing that lasted for some time. Mr. Livernash spoke
eloquently and was listened to with profound atten-
tion. He said:
Livernash Speaks op the Future.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Both Mr. Barry and I joined in a suggestion to the
presiding officer some time ago that we be not asked to
detain this kindly audience, for we felt that the hour
had already grown so late as to make addresses a tax
upon your patience; and were it not that to remain
silent after the touchingly generous remarks with
which I have been introduced would seem ungracious,
I would say no more just now than God speed and
good night.
As it is, I shall keep you only long enough to submit
for your consideration a very few thoughts on matters
not dwelt upon by the earlier speakers — matters hav-
ing to do with unsettled problems rather than the great
results thus far achieved by and through the Union
whose founding we are assembled to celebrate.
Before passing on to this, however, may I be par-
doned for expressing the belief that these results have
sprung very much less from force than some things
said by one of our good friends here to-night might,
standing alone, suggest? The most powerful weapon
of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, as of every other
union, is largely a negative force — concerted refusal
to sell labor on unjust terms; and resort to non-peace-
able means of gaining better and better conditions of
industry has not and should not have the countenance
of the men who are doing most for unionism — notably
that noble champion of right reason applied to toil,
Samuel Gompers.
And now, returning, I would direct your attention
especially to two impressive facts. The first is that
the American merchant marine in the oversea trade
continues to decline, so that our flag has all but van-
ished from the sea; the other is that our country is
unable to man with skilled seamen the great war fleet
the necessities of our colonial policy and the growth of
our mainland interests are giving us.
At so late an hour I can not pause to support these
two declarations by citation of facts. However,
should any here present doubt the accuracy of the
statements, let them study the current reports of those
departments of our Federal Government dealing di-
rectly with the merchant marine and the Navy of
America.
These two conditions deserve the most anxious con-
sideration the American people can bestow; and it
seems to me that whenever we give them the attention
they deserve we will be driven to the conclusion that
both are closely connected with a number of very
definite and very palpable abuses tending to dis-
courage our boys and men from following the sea as
a career, and will continue until those abuses are at
an end. And in this regard let me remind you that no
nation has ever grown great in merchant fleet or naval
power unless possessing a strong and widely diffused
maritime spirit its very own, or has held real sea power,
however gained, save in proportion as it has held
among the men of its own flag genuine skill in sea-
manship. America may build merchantmen and ships
of war as she pleases; but she will never have a truly
formidable navy, she will never have in the world-trade
a truly conquering merchant marine, until Americans
are actively encouraged to turn to the sea by such
alterations in sea life under our flag as shall make that
life consistent with the best ideals of American man-
hood. American capital can build ships; but ships
alone do not constitute a navy or gain or hold world
commerce for any flag. When we shall have made it
worth while for an affectionate and discriminating
father to give his son to seamanship as a calling to be
followed through life with self-respect and profit, we
shall have begun aright the restoration of our merchant
marine and the establishment of an unfailing reserve
for our Navy. Until that day I do not expect to see
much of our marvelous industrial effectiveness di-
verted from land-life to the sea.
It has been said here to-night with justice that a
long step forward was taken when, under the master-
ful leadership of our distinguished friend, Judge Ma-
guire, imprisonment for quitting contract sea-service
without discharge was abolished ; but it should be re-
membered that the abolition did not extend beyond our
coastwise trade and that the infamous fugitive-slave
practice still obtains in our oversea trade — a practice
under which America's most cherished principles of
civil liberty are exiled from ships flying our flag in
foreign jurisdictions — a practice visiting shameful and
brutal conditions of servitude upon our seamen, con-
ditions outgrown as to every other class ; conditions
odious to self-respect and humanity alike. There is not
time to speak of it as I should like to do; but I sub-
mit that no good father would willingly apprentice to
the sea a son subject to the large possibilities of en-
slavement actually threatening all who sail under the
Stars and Stripes beyond the limits of our coastwise
trade. Would you, sir, or you, or you, counsel any
boy you know to take up a career debarring him from
the protection of the Thirteenth Amendment ? Think
it over.
What has been said touches only one of the wrongs
that are crushing seamanship amongst our people.
Another is the toleration by America of horrible in-
sufficiency of forecastles — an insufficiency as to size,
ventilation, comfort, sanitation, everything. Many
of- the forecastles in which American seamen are
housed up, are so foul as that really generous souls
would not condemn swine to inhabit them, much less
workingmen and boys. Is it strange, I ask, that there
is wide-spread shrinking from dirt, discomfort, dis-
ease? Should we wonder that the American boy is
not eager for the sea?
In the case of the Pacific we have the additional hor-
ror of Asiatic seamen under our flag. Who craves to
be shipmate of the yellow scum of Shanghai and
Hongkong? Who but hesitates to send a white boy
into a career that may make his struggle for bread give
him the yellow race for pitiless competitor?
Besides a score of abuses, such as crimping and
undermanning time forbids mentioning, there remains
the cogent further fact that unionism has bettered the
wages of landsmen in America so much faster than it
has bettered the wages of seamen, that the land holds
by a wage-tie even those with strong yearning for the
sea. In our coastwise trade, where unionism has been
able to accomplish most, seamanship has shown corre-
sponding responsiveness ; but in the oversea trade,
where world conditions are encountered, things are
faring badly.
What should be done?
The maritime laws of our country should be changed
in all those respects covered by the International Sea-
men 's bill it was my pleasure to introduce in the
Fifty-eighth Congress. The result of the adoption of
the measure for which the sailors are striving would
be abolition of involuntary servitude in our foreign-
going merchantmen; substitution of wholesome, meas-
ureably comfortable forecastles for the vileness now
so common; cessation of undermanning; improvement
of the food scale; education of boys in seamanship;
and other reforms I have not the time to touch upon.
Then, too, employment of Asiatics under our flag
should be prohibited.
Beyond all this, there should be a conference of the
maritime nations to put down some abuses no one
country can abolish, and there should be prompt, earn-
est spreading of the gospel of unionism wherever sea-
men congregate.
Upon the last suggestion I would I could dwell at
length. It is most important of all. The Brotherhood
of the Sea must become more strong before oppression
of the seamen will very much decrease. World capital,
with the savage competition between nations, must be
met by world-organi/.at inn of toilers. I hope to see
the seamen of America so clearly perceive this that
they will send organizers into Norway, Sweden and
Denmark and keep them there until the North of
Europe is in closest sympathy with San Francisco,
New York, London. I hope to see the Atlantic Coast
of our own country less neglected. I hope to see, in
short, the unionism wc honor to-night spread itself all
over the world among men of the sea.
Go home, then, not only rejoicing for what has been
accomplished, but seriously bent mi pressing forward
to the tremendous work yet unaccomplished. And for
thi.i work you sailors of the Pacific are above most
other toilers blest with able, strong-souled leaders.
Andrew Furuseth, whom I have studied in trying times,
is pure-hearted, singularly unselfish, remarkably clear-
minded, unconquerably earnest. His place could not
be filled by any man I know. Cherish him. Sustain
him. And the (Oast Skamen's Journal is a constant

proof of the sterling worth of another of your notable
figures— Walter Macarthur. His pen has made that
paper the ablest labor organ whereof I have know 1
— sane, cautious, courageous. He is a tower of
strength to all unions, and most of all to those of the
seamen. While such characters as Furuseth and Mai
arthur are given lead by the sailors, there will be
progress — sure, conservative progress.
And now I say to my sailor friends the words with
which, perhaps, I ought to have been content ; In all
your struggles for the right, I wish you Cod speed.
Miss Louisa Grossett, of Berkeley, CaL, rendered
several vocal selections during the evening, which con
tributed greatly to the pleasure of the large audience.
The Chairman, on behalf of the Union, thanked
the speakers and those, friends of the Union who had
honored the occasion by their presence, offering the
assurance that the Union would always strive to prove
worthy of their esteem and assistance. Three hearty
cheers were then given, and the meeting adjourned at
11:30. The members in uniform then fell into line
and marched back to Headquarters, where thi were
disbanded.

Changes in Lights.
A bulletin was senl out recently, announc-
ing the following changes in lights on the
Lakes and rivers:
The bulletin states that the Canadian Gov-
ernment has given notice dial on the opening
of navigation this year, tin1 fog alarms at the
Great Duck Island light station. Lake Huron,
will be strengthened by the substitution of a
diaphone operated by compressed air for the
steam horn now in use. The diaphone during
thick and foggy weather, will give one blast (if
three seeonds' duration, every thirty seconds.
At Georgian Bay the Brebeuf range rear
light has been raised to an altitude of fifty-
five feet above the Lake level. At the Manis-
tee light station, Lake Michigan, the Hash
light at the north side of the river lias been
changed to a fixed white. This is only a tem-
porary arrangemwent, however, as is the simi-
lar change in the character of the light at Pet-
ite Point, Au Sable light station. Lake Michi-
gan.
New light towers are being erected at Grosse
Point, on the Detroit River, and the range is
being changed. The- new tower will differ from
the present structure, in being oc^agoilaT, the
lower part with vertical sides, the upper put
pyramidal and surmounted by an octagonal
lantern. There will be no change in height.
In the north channel of the Blind River,
Lake Huron, changes in the arrangement of
aids have been made (in ; ount of new dan-
gers to navigation since the closing of last sea-
son. Fixed, white electric, lights, visible eleven
miles, have been placed around the new Gov-
ernment wharf at the extremity of Harriette
Point and also around the large wharf. Spar
buoys have been placed at the sides of the
channel leading to the wharves.
A WrecK Recalled.
A Duluth dispatch says that the deal for the
new iron mine on the eastern Mesaba that was
being negotiated for by Pickands, Mather &
Company, of Cleveland, and Joseph Sellwood,
of Duluth, has been completed and the money
paid over. It was a cash transaction and in-
volved the payment of $250,000. The new
mine will be known as the Adriatic. The new
property has a deposit of about 1,500,000 tons
of ore, and it will be operated by the under-
ground system.
A. Angstrom, General Manager of the Ca-
nadian Shipbuilding Company returned from
Montreal recently with an order for a new
passenger and freight steamer for the Canadi-
an Pacific Railway's Upper Lake service. The
steamer will be of the most modern type and
will have a sustained speed of sixteen miles
an hour. She will be 350 feet long and forty-
four feet beam, and is to be ready for service
at the opening of navigation next year.
Captain D. P. Craine, of Milwaukee, who
brought out the Tomlinson steamers Secapa
and Ball Brothers, is scheduled to bring out
the new steamer Frank C. Ball, according to a
Milwaukee report.
Captain J. T. Weaver, who was mate for the
past two years with Captain Craine, of the
Tomlinson fleet, goes on the steamer Sonora
this season as master.
Some interesting points in admiralty law will be
brought out in the suit of the Graham & Morton
Transportation Company against the insurance com-
panies holding policies on the steamer Argo, recently
released from the beacfa at Holland. Just previous to
tin release of the Argo the owners of the boat started
suit against the insurance companies for the face of
the policies, $90,000. The insurance people demur and
insist that Graham & Morton accept the Argo as soon
as she is repaired in lieu of the amount for which
the ship was insured.
It is thought that the repairs on the Argo, together
witli the cost of pulling her off, will amount to $30,000.
The steamboat company will also have the point de-
cided if an insurance company under the terms of its
contract can deprive the owners of the use of their
boat for a long time without being subject to dam-
ages.
When the case is finished there will be some law
precedents established which will be of interest and
benefit to every steamboat owner.
The foregoing article, from the Cleveland
Plain Dealer of February 23, will recall the
wreck of the Argo, which went on near Hol-
land. Mich., last fall, and furnished good evi-
dence for the Seamen's Legislative Commit-
tee, at Washington, in support of the Goulden
bill. It will be remembered that the Life-
Saving crew shot a line aboard this vessel,
and, incredible as it may seem, not a man on
board (and she was a passenger steamer, at
that) knew how to handle the life-saving ap-
paratus. A member of the Life-Saving crew,
named Smith, got near enough to the vessel
to get a line on board and was dragged on
board by the crew. He rigged the apparatus
and saved the passengers. And yet some of
the representatives of vesselowners, testify-
ing before the Committee on Merchant Ma-
rine and Fisheries, in opposition to the
Goulden bill, say their passengers ate per-
fectly safe, that they have a fire drill and low-
er their boats and pull round the vessel.
They forgot to state that there is a difference
in lowering a boat in calm and in storm.
Marine Notes.
Availing itself of the terms of a lease which
recently expired, the Detroit & Cleveland Nav-
igation Company has purchased from the
Jones estate a strip of dockage about 410 feet
long, extending from Shelby street to (iris-
wold street at Detroit, Mich. The terms of t ln-
deal are not given out. Since the formation
of the Detroit & Buffalo Steamboat Company,
three years ago, the Detroit & Cleveland line
has sublet the property to the Buffalo line.
This arrangement will probably continue.
No improvements are contemplated on the
property at present, but will be made as oc-
casion demands. Before the D. & C. line ac-
quired the lease of this dockage it was used by
the Anchor line, which is now two blocks low-
er down the river. Years ago the property
was used by the old Eber Ward line steamers
and also by the Crescent line. With two or
three exceptions, the D. & C. line now owns
or controls all the dockage for six blocks be-
twen Criswold street and 3rd street.
The Ann Arbor Railway Company has
closed a contract with the American Ship
Building Company for a new car-ferry
steamer, to be delivered in November. She
will be 270 feet over all, 52 feet beam, 35 feet
deep, and will have a capacity of twenty-two
ears. She will cost $275,000.
The American Ship Building Company will
spend $1,500,000 improving its plant at
Lorain, Ohio, and will make it the finest of
its kind in the country, if not in the world.
The steamer Anna C. Minch recently load-
ed 231,000 bushels of wheat at Duluth.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has let the con-
tract for dredging and blasting the slip at the
Sandusky coal and ore docks to the Standard
Construction Company.
The Gilchrist steamer John Sherwin was
launched at Bay City, Mich., on March 10.
The Richardson steamer David Z. Norton, was
launched there at the same time.
The steamer W. W. Brown is reported to
be in a dangerous position in the St. Clair
river, near Port Huron, having been torn from
her moorings by the ice. The steamer is also
in a bad way.
Nearly all the vessel room on Lake Erie has
been taken by coal shippers, and a big coal
fleet will reach the head of the Lake together
early in April. A big blockage and a long
wait for some of the vessels is bound to occur.
The Lackawanna Steel Company has char-
tered the steamers John Crerar and II. G.
Dalton for the season to carry steel rails from
Buffalo to Upper Lake ports, and the boats
will probably carry ore for the same firm.
The new Hawgood steamer. Abraham
Steam, was launched at Superior, Wis., re-
cently, with Iter boilers and machinery in-
stalled and will be ready for the opening of
navigation.
The steamer Charles Rietz has been sold by
J. O. Nessen & Company, of Manistee to
Burns Brothers of Detroit. The Rietz is 127
feet long, 26 feet beam and has seen service
since 1872. Burns Brothers will use her to
tow their two lumber barges.
According to a dispatch to the Cleveland
Leader from Toledo, ()., the new passen-
ger steamer, Theodore Roosevelt, is to be a
ttyer. Her guaranteed speed is twenty-one
knots, but she will easily make twenty-four.
She will be launched on March 20th.
The Hines Lumber Company, of Chicago,
has purchased 30,000,000 feet of Norway pine,
spruce and tamarack lumber from the Tower
Lumber Company, of Tower, Minn. The con-
sideration is said to be about $600,000, and
the deal absorbs all of the 1906 Norway pine
on the market.
New French Line.
The Compagnie Francaise des Chargeurs
Reunis dispatched their first steamer last
month, advertised to go to Europe via the
Straits of Magellan and Buenos Ayres.
Among her cargo was a miscellaneous lot of
Japanese goods for Argentina. This com-
pany advertises a bi-monthly service to be
maintained by five new ships, each of 5416
tons. The agent of the French company re-
ports that its line is not yet fully organized.
The proposed route is from Antwerp via
Mediterraneon ports and Suez to Singapore,
Hongkong, Yokohama, Honolulu, San Fran-
cisco, Panama, the ports of the west coast of
South America, and via the Straits of Magel-
lan to Rio de Janeiro. The return voyage
will be across the Atlantic to Antwerp. It is
understood that the French company has a
promise of about 2,000 tons of copper per
month as cargo from Peru to Europe, ami
that this is its main dependence in initiating
the service.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Opening of Simplon Tunnel.
The official opening of the new internation-
al line through the Simplon Tunnel, after
having been advertised for April 1, 1906, is
noAV reported as being postponed until May 1.
After having been for a considerable time un-
der discussion, the mode of traction between
Brigue and Domo d'Ossola — i. e., on 40 kilo-
meters (about 25 miles) — is reported to be
electrical, in accordance with a decision re-
cently made by the Federal Department of
Swiss Railroads.
The Swiss system of traction now in use on
the railroad Berthoud-Thoune, in the Canton
of Berne, will be applied with up-to-date im-
provement on the Simplon line. The first two
electrical engines, when delivered at the end
of the year, will first be tried on the Italian
electrical lines of the Valteline.
Electric traction on Swiss railroads is a
new thing; but it seems only natural that
Switzerland, so rich in "white coal," begins
to utilize its wealth of water, and supersedes,
by the power derived from it, thf enormous
quantity of coal imported from Germany,
France, Belgium and England. This new
trial of electrical power on such an important
new line will be watched with keen interest.
If successful, the new mode of traction will
certainly be employed all over the country,
and there may be openings for our manufac-
turers at home in that line.
Origin of Boycotting.
It is to-day (November 12, 1905), exactly
a quarter of a century since the arrival of the
expedition that marched to Lough Mask
House, the residence of Captain Boycott, near
Ballinrobe. He was the agent of Lord Erne,
and had taken out ejectment processes against
the local tenantry. The Land League, in
pursuance of a new method of agitation,
warned Captain Boycott's servants to leave.
He was left without a laborer, and his crops
lay ungathered. No blacksmith would work
for him; no shopkeeper would serve him; no
laundress would wash his shirt. On Novem-
ber 12, 1880, about 150 infantry with two
field pieces, and 150 of the constabulary, in-
vaded the district to escort a body of laborers,
who were to gather in the crops. They were
received with contemptuous indifference in-
stead of the violence expected. Thus, sud-
denly, the Land League discovered a more
effective weapon than agrarian outrages. The
Government had used 7,000 men to keep or-
der in Mayo, and every turnip saved cost a
shilling. The term "boycotting" was born
for all time. — Reynolds' Newspaper.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Northwest Passage.
This Northwest Passage may be briefly ex-
plained. The long coasts of the mainland are
not clogged, like those on many other polar
shores, with icebergs or glaciers or thick sea
ice. The coast is low, the tundra behind it is
only a little higher than the sen. and condi-
tions are not favorable for the formation and
flow of glaciers. Icebergs, therefore, are not
found, because in the Arctic they are merely
the broken-off ends of glaciers.
But from thirty to forty miles north of
Point Barrow, the most northern point of tin-
continent, stretches the great barrier of sea
ice, with hummocks and ridges thrust by pres-
sure from twenty to fifty feet above the gen-
eral level, so that when McClure's Investigat-
or got into the heavy floe the ice sometimes
rose around her as high as the yardarms. As
no islands intervene for hundreds of miles
east of Bering Sea to protect the coast from
the polar pack, why is it that this heavy
ice is not forced down upon the shores?
It is because the coastal waters are com-
paratively shallow and the sea ice -rounds
miles away; and farther east the coasts of the
mainland are protected from the sea ice, noc
only by shallow water, but also by the islands
that extend almost continuously from Banks
Land to the Atlantic end of Hudson Strait.
So the ice along the coast is of the win-
ter's formation, and in summer it disappears
entirely or is so narrowed by melting as to
have channels of greater or less width that
are navigable for two or three months. The
fact is, as Lieutenant Wheeler, of our revenue
cutter service, recently said, this Northwest
Passage has been made time and time again
by the overlapping of the tracks of vessels
between the Atlantic and the Pacific. San
Francisco whalers have already pushed far
eastward beyond the Mackenzie delta and the
mouth of the Coppermine River. Collinson,
during the Franklin search, took his vessel
eastward through these channels almost to the
very waters from which the Gjoa started last
summer, and a short sledge journey farther
east brought him within sight of King Wil-
iam Land, but he little dreamed that the
bodies of many of the men he was seeking
were scattered along its shores.
In time this route may be some importance.
Mineral resources have been found along the
northern edge of Canada, and some day they
will be developed. This water route is by no
means ideal, but, to some extent, it will facil-
itate the operations of miners and whalers. —
Cyrus C. Adams, in Review of Reviews.
Value of American Fisheries
The suggested transmission of disease by
telephone mouthpieces has led the British
General Electric Company to devise an instru-
ment in which all danger is avoided by simply
abolishing the mouthpiece. The receiving and
transmitting apparatus is combined in a small
metal case, shaped like a watch, which is held
continuously to the ear both in speaking and
in listening, the transmitting microphone be-
ing made so sensitive that it becomes unnec-
essary to concentrate the sound waves on it
by the aid of any mouth piece such as is or-
dinarily used. Mounted on a handle, with a
speaking key, the new arrangement is exactly
similar to the common combined receiver and
transmitter, except that there is no mouth-
piece, and the speaker, as it were, addresses
himself to the world at large, instead of talk-
ing into a trumpet-shaped orifice.
The value of the water products taken and
sold by United States fishermen in 190.") was
approximately $50,250,000. In no other
country are the commercial fisheries more
valuable as a whole than in (lie United States,
and in no country is the financial condition
of the fishing population better. The number
of persons who make a livelihood in this in-
dustry is about 232,000, and the capital in-
vested exceeds ^2,000,000. The most valuable
of all the fishery products is the oyster, in the
output of which the United States sut p
all other countries combined. The crop of
1905 may be placed at 32,000,000 bushels.
with a market value of $15,760,000. It is esti-
mated that in 1905 over 11.875,000 bushels.
avlued at $8,775,000, were marketed from
private grounds. Virginia has recently
assumed the first rank a.s an oyster-pro-
ducing State, owing chiefly to the more
general practice of oyster farming, the State's
yield being now upward of 8,500,000 bushels,
with a value to the producers of +"..250.000.
The great high-sea fisheries for cud bad-
dock, hake, halibut, mackerel, herring and
other well-known food fishes have 1 n
fairly successful as a whole, and have
yielded about $7.5(10.000. The Lobster
fishery continues to show a dimishing
yield, with a disproportionate increase iii
value. The whale fishery, which at one time
was carried on by an immense fleet of fine
sailing vessels and was the leading fishing in-
dustry of the country, is now conducted chiefly
with steamers in the North Pacific and Arc-
tic oceans, and is an expensive, uncertain and
often unremnuerative business. The value of
the baleen, blubber oil and sperm oil taken
has been less than $900,000, and there is no
reason to believe that the fishery will ever
show tiny permanent improvement. The anad-
romous fishes of the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards- the salmons, the shad, the alewives.
the striped bass, the perches, etc. -have come
to the streams in abundance, and represent
$15,000 000 of income to the fishermen. The
fisheries of the Great Lakes have yielded over
$2,700,000, and in general are in a satisfactory
condition.

Emigration of Labor.
The United Stoles Consul at Chemnitz,
Germany, reporting upon the recent textile
strike in Thuringia and Saxony, Bays:
It is not difficult to foresee the immediate
outcome of the impending strike in Thuringia,
even if it~assumes wide dimensions, and no
matter how long it lasts. As in the case of
Crimmitschau, the workmen will be compelled
to return to the factories practically at the
dictation of their employers, for the simple
reason that the fund of their organization is
limited, and a prolonged strike at the threshold
of winter means that the doors of distress will
be opened wide the moment that fund is ex-
hausted. Organized labor in the textile in-
dustries of Saxony-Thurin-ia will always lose
in a test of strength, but in the long run the
organized labor giver will also lose, for the
reason that, aside from the immediate wounds
inflicted in a business way, an impassable
chasm, growing wider and wider with each
succeeding year, has opened tip between these
two mighty factors of industrial life. The
laboring classes as a lasl resort will turn to
that old method which has exerted such a
powerful influence upon the world's history,
namely, emigration.

plained that while increasing the war es-
tablishment by 33 per cent it would only
involve an additional outlay of $1,-
500,000.
French Minister of War Etienne an-
nounced in the Chamber of Deputies on
March 2 that the military forces are
prepared for any contingency. The de-
cree establishing the Council of National
Defense is now in the hands of the Pre-
mier, and the supreme commander has
already been chosen.
Edmund Robertson, new British Finan-
cial Secretary of the Admiralty, an-
nounced recently that punishment by
birching had been suspended in the Navy
and that caning would be inflicted only
by order of the captain of the ship. Cap-
tain Hervey, the only sailor on the active
list elected to the present Parliament,
protested against this "grandmotherly
action" of the Government.
George E. Green, a former State Sen-
ater of New York, who was tried in the
District Supreme Court for more than
two weeks on charges of conspiracy to
commit an offense against the United
States and to defraud the Government
in connection with the sale of time-
recording clocks to the Postoflice De-
partment, was acquitted by a jury, after
four hours ' deliberation, on March 8.
In the British House of Commons on
March 2 the members of the Labor party
scored a success with their first bill of
the session, empowering local educational
authorities to provide meals for under-
fed school children. The Government,
through Augustine Birrell, President of
the Hoard of Education, and John Hums,
President of the Local Government
Hoard, said the Ministers would endeavor
to secure the passage of the measure at
this session.
It is reported that President Roosexelt
has decided to appoint William II. Tat't
of Ohio, now Secretary of War, to the
next vacancy in the United States Su-
preme Court. That vacancy is to be cre-
ated by the voluntary retirement of Asso-
liate Justice Henry B. Brown, who was
appointed in 1890 by President Harrison,
from the State of Michigan. When
Chief Justice Fuller retires, provided it
is during the administration of Mr.
Roosevelt, Mr. Taft will be promoted to
bis exalted position.

The Socialists of Finlandare agitating
t,.r a general strike to show the diacon

Eleven hundred miners were killed by
a mine explosion ami lire at Cotillions,
Prance, OH March 10. The disaster is
the worst in the history of coal-mining
in France.
In an encounter at Fraga,
Huesca. Spain, on March 6, between 1200
strikers ami the police of the town, three
of th- former were shot dead and sev-
eral of the police were wounded.
The average number of laborers em
ployed daily at the docks and principal
wharves in London, Eng., during the
four weeks ended January 30 was 12,
336, a decrease of 4.0 per cent, on a
month previously, and of 5.1 per cent.
on a year previously.
In the l!71 trade-unions, with a total
membership of 588,121 making returns
to the British Board of Trade, 27. (ill
(or 4.7 per cent.) were unemployed at
„d of January, 1906, as compared
witli 4.9 at the end of December, 1905,
and 6.8 at the end of January, 1905.
A riot recently occurred between ne
groes and Hungarians employed in the
coal mine at Zeigler, 111.,, and several
combatants on both sides received in-
juries, but no deaths have ben reported.
It is said that the riot resulted from ill-
feeling that has been brewing for some
time over labor uifficulties.
A British blue book was issued on Feb-
ruary 20, giving the voluminous report of
the Royal Commission on Trade Disputes
and Combinations. The Commission rec-
ommends the passing of an Act declaring
trade-unions to be legal associations and
strikes legal unless accompanied by vio-
lence or breach of contract, and also de-
claring that persuasion to strike, apart
from procuring a breach of contract, is
not illegal.
The net effect of all the changes in
British wages reported in January was
an increase of £::.oiu; per week, as com-
pared with an increase of £659 per week
in 1) ■mber, 1905, and a decrease of
£1,636 per week in January, 1905. The
number of work-people affected was
117,702, of whom 115,65:: received ad-
vances amounting to £3,682 per week,
and 2, Mitt sustained decreases amounting
to £116 per week. The total number af
fected in December was 26,356, and in
January, lour., 63,823.
The total number of persons registered
up to the end of January by thirty Beven
Distress Committees in London. Eng.,
and neighborhood was 42,093. This fig-
ure includes 7,867 persons in East Lon-
don, 1 1,283 in South London, 3,075 in
North London. 6,057 in the Western dis-
tricts, 2,143 in Central London, 4,154
in West Ham, 1,471 in Edmonton, 1,313
in Tottenham, and 1,233 in Last Ham.
A large proportion of the persons regis
tered were laborers, and of the skilled
men, according to the information avail
able, about half belonged to the build-
ing trades.
An amendment to the Address to the
Throne in reply to the King's speech at
the opening of the British Parliament, ex-
pressing regret at the fact that the Gov-
ernment had brought the reputation of
the country into contempt by describing
the employment of Chinese in South
Africa as slavery, was defeated in the
House of Commons on February 23
by 416 to 91 votes. Chancellor of
the Exchequer Asquith, on behalf
of the Government; said that no
new licenses for the importation of coo-
lies would be issued, and all coolies desir-
ing to leave South Africa would be re-
patriated at the cost of the Imperial ex-
chequer. When a responsible government
is established in the Transvaal it will
have full power to determine whether to
retain the Chinese.

President Roosevelt has si^nt'l the Ur-
gent Deficiency bill, containing a provi-
sion abrogating the Eight-Hour law mi
the Panama Canal.
Ohio coal operators have decided to
not concede the demands of the miners
for an increase in wages. Similar action
was taken by the Illinois operators.
Another meeting of the independent
eoal operators of the bituminous coal
fields will in all likelihood be held in
Pittsburg, Pa., prior to going to Indian-
apolis for the national convention on
March 19.
Judge Trieber, in the United States
District Court at St. Louis, Mo., on
March 3, fined four members of the Car-
penters' District Council and tneir or-
ganizer, adjudged to be in contempt of
court, an aggregate, with costs, of $1600.
All coal miners in the employ of the
Albert Railway and Coal Company at
Lethbridge and Alta, 200 miles north of
Great Falls, Mont., struck on March !)
demanding an increase in wages and
other concessions. About 700 men are
out.
It is understood that District 23, of
Western Kentucky, of the United Mine
Workers of America, which holds its an-
nual convention at Louisville, Ky., dur-
ing the present week, will ask for an ad-
vance in wages. The district has about
7000 union miners.
The Bisbee (A. T.) miners recently
voted on the question of organizing a
local of the Western Federation of Min-
ers in that locality. The vote stood 2200

Practically every workman employed by
the Bonanza Circle Company and the
Copper Queen voted. It is said that
the Bisbee miners receive union wages.
The Typothetae of the City of New
York has obtained from Justice Blanch-
ard of the Supreme Court a temporary
injunction against Typographical Union,
No. 6, and all the officers and members
of the union and their agents and serv-
ants and asoeiates. The affidavits on
which the temporary injunction was
granted allege twenty-five cases of as-
sault and intimidation of non-union
printers employed by Typothetae (inns.
In deciding against three non-union
employes of the United States Printing
Company of Ohio, who sought to restrain
that concern from entering into a work-
ing pact with the Stereotypers and Elec-
trotypers' Union which would exclude
free labor, Judge Mareau of the Su-
preme Court of Brooklyn, N. Y., on
March 5 gave judicial sanction to the
"Closed-Shop" principle. There will be
an immediate appeal to the appellate di-
vision of the Supreme Court.
Several leading plantations in the
Hawaiian Islands have agreed to
the terms insisted upon by Secretary At-

It is believed that enough planters have

insure a heavy immigration of Portu-
guese or other Europeans. A committee
is working on a revision of the planters'
offers and terms to meet the demands of
Secretary Atkinson.
A resolution was adopted by the Cen
tral Federated Union, of New York on
March 4 calling on the members of all
central bodies and labor organizations
throughout the country to ask the Repre-
sentatives from their districts to vote

junctions. Andrew Furnseth, who was
present, said that the Gilbert bill osten
sibly lessened the power of courts to
grant injunctions in labor disputes, but
legalized injunctions. It did this, he
said, by providing that the court could
grant injunctions in labor disputes after
they were arbitrated.

Where His Affections Centre.— " Yes,
the widow married rather soon, but then
she needed a man to care for her for-
tune. ' •
"Doubtless she found one who cares
for it."
Not Contradictory.— "You say they
lived happily ever after. Now, as a mat-
ter of fact, they got a divorce."
"I'm right. She is content with her
alimony, and he thinks he got off dead
cheap. "
What's Most Needed.— "No," said
the builder, "our theatres are not what
they should be. There should be more
solid steel in them, and they — "
"Quite so," interrupted the first-
nighter, "and less 'solid steal' in the
average 'new' play."
She WotIcs at Home.— Hicks— " I un-
derstand Mrs. Bias has learned how to
keep her husband at home. ' '
Wicks — "Nonsense! Bias is out with
'the boys' nearly every night."
Hicks — "You misunderstand me. 1
mean the work she does at home keeps
him. She's a dressmaker, you know."
Good for Him.— "He's the editor of
the paper, not the owner of it. A West-
ern millionaire is putting up the money
for it."
"Merely the editor, eh? I heard him
boasting that the paper supplies a long
felt want. ' '
"Yes, it supplies him with an easy
job."
The Ink Did It.— "Harry," said the
girl reproachfully, "you told me you
didn 't use cigarettes. ' '
"So I did."
"Well, what's that yellow stain on
your fingers!"
Clearly she thought she had him.
"You forget," he said with dignity.
"that I work on a yellow journal."
Not Necessarily Snobs. — "Tf we're
noo a nation of snobs, ' said the argu-
mentative one, "why do we run after
the rich?"
His triumphant tone proved that he
regarded this as a clincher.
"Sometimes it's in the hope of mak-
ing a touch," said the other, "and,
again, we have a theory that t lie rich
have something that belongs to us. ' '
With this debate seemed to have
reached a climax.

NEED OF EFFICIENT CREWS.
Silence Of Press On Vital Subject.
New YorR American Advocates Goulden Bill.
CAN any one recall the particulars of the event
known in American maritime history as the
' • Sloeum Slaughtei ' ' .'
We pause for a reply.
Seafaring readeTS will please keep still and look
wise. Let the public or the public mouthpiece, tin-
press, tell how much it knows about that notable
episode.
Perhaps it would be well to ask something easier,
something not < pi it <• SO ancient, by way of refreshing
the memory.
Can any une recall the particulars of the Valencia
wreck .'
Again we pause for a reply.
How long we shall have to pause is problematical.
Judging from the present attitude of the press, its
recollection of the .Sloeum and Valencia affairs is as
vague as its recollection of- the destruction of the
Spanish Armada or the earthquake of Lisbon. Prob-
ably, too, the press conception of "news value" is
about the same in the latter as in the former eases.
Apparently, one might almost as reasonably expect the
press to publish the events of the "first of November,
'fifty-five," that fateful day "when Lisbon town saw
the earth open and gulp her down," as look for any
reference to the steamers General Sloeum ami Valencia
in the current news columns. The Sloeum and the
Valencia incidents, each in its day, were "wonders,"
ami as such were duly exploited by the press for the
edification of its readers and the enrichment of itself.
Now these incidents are closed, as much so as the
graves that hold the victims thereof — and so the press
passes on to the next sensation.
As sensations the burning of the General Sloeum and
the wreck of the Valencia are things of the past, but
us solemn warnings of ever-present danger to human
life the disasters to these vessels are still as ''interest-
ing" to the public as on the day of their happening,
and should be kept before the public mind with just
as much "eye for effect," now as then. The causes of
these disasters, originally a matter of conjecture, are
now known beyond a doubt, ami known to be largely
preventable. Why, then, does not the press launch its
thunders at these causes.' Must it be said thai the con-
cern of the press ends with the discovery of truth,
that a given incident is available for press purposes
only so long as it is a subject of conjecture and there-
fore capable of being colored to gratify the tastes and
excite the appetites of morbid readers.'
One of the causes — what may be called the chief
contributory cause — of both of these disasters, is known
to reside in the crews of the vessels in question. In
each instance the loss of life was due respectively to a
shortage in the number of men composing the del,
clew, and to inefficiency on the part of the individuals
c posing the crew. That is to say, the loss of life in
the wreck of the Valencia was due in a measure to the
hick Of SUfficienl seamen to properly Care tor the boats;
in the case of the Sloeum, much of the loss of life was
due to the absolute inefficiency of the crew, to the fact
that the crew were not seamen at .ill, but landsmen.
This deficiency in the manning system of these vefl
sels was noted at the time of tin' disasters, and much
criticism was directed toward the crews, most of which
was entirely unjustifiable — that is. from the point of
view of personal responsibility. The responsibility for
insufficient or inefficient crews lies in most instances
with the men who employ them, specifically with the
shipowner. This condition, previously well known to
seamen and other practical men, has recently been
brought to the attention of Congress in the form of a
bill providing for the efficient manning of passenger
vessels. In fact, two bills on the subject are now be-
fore Congress, the one just referred to, and another
which, if enacted, will make matters worse instead of
better.
How does the press stand with reference to these
bills? In absolute silence! The press has no word to
say, either for the good bill or against the bad one.
So far as the reading public, may know, the manning
question has been closed, along with the other questions
growing out of the recent fatalities on passenger ves-
sels. So far as Congress may know, the press cares
nothing for tin1 proposed legislation; Congress may
pass the good bill, the bad bill, or no bill at all. The
press is concerned with human life afloat only when life
is lost; the matter of preventing loss of life is of no
' ' news value"!
This rule of silence is proved by the exception to it.
That exception is the New York American. The
American, of March HI, under the caption, "The
Sloeum Slaughter," published an editorial comment
upon the manning bills now before Congress, which we
here reproduce in full, as follows:
Nine hundred and fifty lives were sacri.fi 1 in
the Sloeum horror. .Men, women and children per-
ished because of an incompetent, inefficient and inade-
quate crew. Congress has Compelled improvement in
life-saving mechanical appliances on board excursion
and other steamers.
BUT Congress HAS NOT done anything to re (re
the real cause for the great loss of life in marine acci-
dents.
Congress has done nothing to compel vesselowners
to employ skilled, experienced and reliable men on
deck to us. the life saving apparatus when it is most,
needed.
Laws now prescribe Hie size and strength of fire
hose, tin' capacity of pumps, the buoyancy of life pre-
servers, Hie dimensions and make of lifeboats and
numerous other mechanical details, but no law provides
for efficient men to use t hem.
Step by step Congress has relieved the shipowner of
liability as a common carrier to the passenger (or sur-
viving willow, parent or child), until practically no
financial responsibility remains, unless it. shall be
proven in court that the owner failed to provide an
"efficient master and a sufficient crew."
The owner is now endeavoring to use Hie Sloeum
horror to shed his remaining liability as to the "effl
cient master" and "sufficient crew."
A Presidential commission Investigated and reported
in the SloCUm ease "that .'he ineffidencj and poor
quality of the deck crow of this vessel,' DOUBTLESS
Tvi'irvi. i.r THE MAJORIT1 01 THE I HEWS OF EXCURSION
STEAMERS, is one of the essential facts that caused the
loss of so many lives. ' '
And yet Coe-ress delays passing a law to provide a
standard of skill and experience ami the number of
men to be employed on passenger steamers.
' ongress many years ago provided for i Board of
Supervising Inspectors of Passenger steamboats, and
delegated to that board authority and duty to make
rules as to appliances and men. 'The influence of the
shipowners has been potent enough to have these rules
so drawn that they were, until recent laws were passed,
inadequate as to mechanical appliances and also pre-
vented any rule being made as to the number of or
standard of the skill of the men employed.
Owners and managers invariably pleaded "Enlight-
ened self-interest" would insure proper and adequate
manning of their passenger boats. Laws made them
equip their vessels, but, no statute compels the employ
inenf of a reliable, skilled crew — and the result has been
1 1 isaster.
As liability diminished (through changes in the
laws), crews became proportionately less efficient.
Men who had never lowered a boat or pulled an oar in
;■ seaway were hired as sailors — ABLE-SEAMEN!
The Cheap, not the Efficient, men became the rule.
With liability reduced to almost nothing, excursion
steamers in New York are owned and operated by cor-
porations whose interest extends only to single vessels.
These are subsidiary corporations, created within par-
ent companies, like the Knickerbocker, and by this
process of evasion of stockholders' liability, a widow,
an orphan, or a parent can recover nothing from the
vesselowner for the loss of a relative. That was the
case of the Sloeum. Bankruptcy proceedings inter
vened a day or two after the disaster.
Senator William P. Frye, of Maine, always the
special advocate and sponsor for shipowners, is exert-
ing all his power to have passed a bill that confers
upon local ship Inspectors the authority to determine
the size of and standard of crews to be employed; but
the bill leaves in the shipowner the real power to name
the number and skill of the men, while the responsibil-
ity will rest upon the Inspectors and through them
upon the Government. It leaves conditions as to
safety of passengers without substantial change; and
diverts the liability of the owner to a point where none
remains.
And owners' agents are promoting and urging the
enactment of the Frye bill.
Another and a better bill, which is opposed by ves
selowners, is pending before the House Committee on
Merchant Marine. It was drawn by Representative
Goulden, of New York, who was a coroner's juror in
the Sloeum case. This lull provides a standard of skill,
but leaves the number of the crew to be determined by
the Local Inspectors. II specifically provides that the
men employed in the deck crew shall be nineteen or
more years of age; that they shall be able to under
stand orders given in English, and that they shall have
served at least three years on deck at sea or on the
Great Hakes.
The Frye bill should be tabled; the Coulden bill
should be made stronger, and then the American people
should compel its enact nielli .
As before stated, the action of the \ merica 11, in dis-
cussing the manning question is an exception the
single exception, so far as we know to the rule Dg
the newspapers of the country. The American's action
ought to become Hie rule. The press of the country
ought to declare for or against the pending legislation;
preferably il ought to declare for the Coulden bill.
Hither that or il ought to keep silent on the subject of
clews' efficiency in future eases id' maritime disaster.
The attitude id' the press in the existing circum-
stances is a flagrant dereliction of duty to the public.
By its silence in the matter of the manning bills now
before I 'ongress the press practically assumes an alti
tilde of indifference to the lives of the traveling pub-
lic.
This attitude is the more remarkable by contrast
with the indignation expressed in every instance of
fatal shipwreck. In such instances the press spares
neither space nor language in denunciation of every
one nearly or remotely responsible for the loss of life.
Shipowners, shipmasters and seamen are pilloried ill
a row and pelted with all the hard words that guilt
can deserve or indignation inspire. The seamen, in
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
particular, are the butt of newspaper wrath. Ff (he
,u do n"t prove themselves heroes, they prove
themselves cowards.
It never occurs to the press, bo Em as appears from
its comment, that the difference between heroism and
cowardice in a ship's crew is mainly the difference be-
ii experience and inexperience, between seaman-
ship and landsmanship.
Oh, yes, the press is all there in voicing the 1 pie's
indignation at the loss of life caused by inefficient
crews. But when it comes to voicing the people's need
of legislation to remedy the trouble, the "great moral
engine" is as dumb as an oyster.
Let it be understood right now thai whatever loss of
life may hereafter result from failure on the part of
a vessel's crew will be attributable as much to coward-
or something else, on the part of the press, as to
fault on the part of the seamen or the men who are
engaged as such.
The spasmodic action of the press in decrying the in-
efficiency of crews is merely so much futile railing at
effect. The cause of that inefficiency, being known,
should be exposed; the remedy, being also known,
I lie urged to adoption.
Notwithstanding all that has been done, or p]
tc. be done, since the Sloeum an. I Valencia eases, the
hope of substantial results still waits upon the enact-
ment of legislation that shall give vital effect 1" the
merely physical precautions n( improved inspection and
life-saving apparatus, etc A good crew can not keep
a soap box from sinking, nor a tinder box from latch-
ing fire; neither can a seaman give buoyancy to a life-
preserver that is weighted with iron, nor keep water in
a hose that is full of holes. At the same time, it is
equally certain that improvement in the matter of Bon
struction ami equipment must prove comparatively in
effective in the absence of men skilled in handling
ships and their gear, and particularly in handling them-
selves in times of emergency.
The thing that American shipping most needs at the
present time is seamen, and it won't be safe for pas-
senger traffic until it gets them!
Compers on Exclusion.
Samuel Gompers, President of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, discussing the recent
action of the National Conference <>n Immi-
gration on the question (if Chinese Exclusion,
in the American Federationist, says:
It will be noted that the Federal Chinese
Exclusion Law in general terms provides that
all Chinese shall be excluded from the
United States and its possessions except, and
then the law proceeds to specify the excep-
tions, those who are exempt, and who may
come to our shores.
The resolution offered and againsl which
we protested proposed to completely reverse
the Chinese Exclusion law and policy. In
general terms, it says all Chinese shall be ad-
mitted to the United Slates and its pofi
sinus except, and then the resolution proceeds
to specify the exceptions.
It will be observed that not only would the
law and the policy be reversed if the terms of
such a resolution were enacted into law, but
also that, as the law of the land now stands,
the burden of proof devolves upon the Chi-
nese of the exempt classes to show their righl
lo come to our shores.
On the other hand, if the resolution were
enacted into law, the burden of proof would
devolve upon the United States to show thai
any Chinese, no matter how large the num-
bers, who would come to our country would
not be entitled to entry.
And it may not be amiss to say here, with
out at all entering into the discussion of the
"Chinese question," that it is not the intent
or purpose of the American people, by our
Chinese Kxclusion law, to bar the coming of
students, business and professional men. or
those who desire to travel for pleasure ami in-
formation. But in our desire for the free mi-
ration of the exempt classes, we emphatically
protest against the reversal of our law and
policy, which safeguard our people from tlie
possibility of being overwhelmed by the com-
ing of hordes of Chinese.
Bury the Maine.
Tin- British steamer ('nine foundered off
the Dutch coast mi .March l:i. Twelve of her
crew were drowned and seven were saved.
With each session of Conirross comes the re-
currence of i he discussion as to what dispo-
sition, if any, shall be made of I he wreck
of the battleship Maine, now reposing in the
mud of Havana harbor. Clearly it is the
duty of this country to remove the melan-
choly debris, if for no other reason than that
it is a nuisance to shipping and an imposition
upon Cuba. The neglect implied in the at-
titude of this government toward the mass
of gnarled steel in a foreign port, which once
was a beautiful and proud bearer of the
American Hair, brings regret to those of our
countrymen who pass it. and reverentially lift
the bat in memory of our sailors who died
with it.
There is" now a vement, said to have orig-
inated appropriately with Senator Frye, of
-Maine, to raise the hull, or what is left of it,
and convey it out to deep and clean water,
where it may be given a sailor's burial. This
should be done by all means. As to the pro-
priety or necessity of holding a post mortem
on the wreck to ascertain the fact as to
whether the explosion that caused it came
from within or without there may be some
division of opinion. In spite of all that has
been said and the rumors that have been
afloat, it is not known officially just how the
explosion occurred. It is now proposed to
raise the remains of the ship and find out
whether the hull was shattered from within
oi- without, after which the wreckage will be
sunk in the high seas. No one believes, in
this country, at least, that, the Maine was
traitorously destroyed. It must have been
the work either of Cubans or Spaniards, and
suspicion rests bulkily upon the latter. But
so long as there is any shadow of doubt, it is
suggested that, in justice to the Cuban peo-
ple, there should be some official action, and
then the matter be dropped forever.
If the Spaniards were guilty of sinkim: the
Maine, our revenue has been swift and ter-
rible. If a Cuban did the deed, it would man-
ifestly be improper to hold the people id'
Cuba responsible after this lapse of time,
and in the light of the passion and misunder-
standing of our good faith at the outbreak of
the Spanish- American hostilities. We would
not want to know that any American sailor
had done such a terrible thing, or that disci-
pline had been so lax that an alien was al-
lowed to slip on board with explosives. There-
fore there seems to be no particular reasons
for holding the proposed post-mortem. It
would be better to bury the .Maine in the
depths and let the matter pass into history.
The once patriotic cry, "Remember the
-Maine," has itself become only a memory,
but over that weather-stained and mud-en-
cumbered wreckage still hovers the apotheosis
of Americanism making mute appeal for de-
cent recognition from our countrymen. Let
US give the Maine heroic burial in the deep
blue sea with the flag it so bravely bore flut-
tering above it as it sinks beneath the waves.
Thus may it sleep in the glory of eternal ob-
livion.—Kansas <'ity Journal.
The Suez Canal.
The Belgian Sanitarium for consumptives
at Borgoumont, is a success. The number of
356 patients for the first six months of the
institution shows that it was a hyigenic neces-
sity, and the figure of 84.7 per cent of sue. -ess-
fid results is evidence of its beneficial work-
ings.
The construction of the Panama Canal and
the recent obstruction of the Suez Canal by
a sunken ship, which had to he removed by
dynamite, has revived public interest with
reference to the commercial value of the Suez
Canal and its steadily growing remunerative-
tiess. lis great importance to commerce and
navigation is well known, and is Inst proven
by a comparison of the distances of the vari-
ous routes. The distance from Bremen, for
instance, to Bombay, on the old route by way
of Cape Horn was 11,200 miles; through the
Suez canal only 7,000 miles. The following
table shows how rapidly navigation through
the Suez Canal developed :

In 1890 Tl.."> pei- cent of the vessels passing
the canal carried the British fhig, while uiily
8.1 per cent carried that of Germany. Dur-
ing the last few years this ratio has changed
considerably in favor of the German fla<_r. as
during 1901 only 56.1 per cent were British,
while 13.8 per cent carried the German flag.
The British flag is, of course, still in the lead,
followed by the German in second, the Dutch
in third place, and the French fourth.
Besides merchant vessels. !i7 men-of-war,
57 military transports and !> yachts passed
through the canal. Ninety-five ships belong-
ing to the North German Lloyd passed the
canal in 1904, among them the steamer
Grosser Kurfuerst. This ship, with 13,200
tons, is the largest ever passing through the
canal. The charges per nel ton of cargo
since January 1, 1903, is 8.5 francs and in
francs per passenger. If. for instance, the
Grosser Kurfuerst passes through the eanal
with 10,000 tons cargo and 1,000 passenger*;
the company has to pay 95,000 francs as tolls.
From January 1, 1906, the toll on the
will be reduced to 7.75 francs per ton.

The Dominion Government sent an expedi-
tion to Hudson Bay in the spring of 1904,
under the auspices of the Northwest
Mounted Police and the Marine De-
partment, for the purpose of estab-
lishing police posts, to enforce the jur-
isdiction of the Dominion and also to de-
termine the length of time during which Hud-
son Strait can be safely navigated. The
probability of the completion of railway con-
struction to Hudson Bay within the next few
years makes it especially important to ascertain
how many months this route can he utilised
by steamers for grain shipment. Major Moodie,
who was in charge of the police patrol, recent-
ly returned to Ottawa. He reports that in his
judgment navigation of Hudson Strait is safe,
so far as freedom from ice is concerned, for
at least four months of the year, and thai
with the Strait properly charted and with
Lighthouses and beacons along the route, there
is nothing to prevent the successful operation
of a steamship line from Churchill, Hudson
Bay, to Liverpool, England, during the
months of July, August, September, and
October. Thes nclusions of Major M
are confirmed by the observations of othei
explorers.

Our Immigration Policy.
Next to Chinese Exclusion, our national
Immigration policy is probably the most im-
portant issue now before the public. This
view is based upon the indisputable fact that,
aside from their immediate influence on pres-
ent economic conditions, the immigrants which
we now admit will very largely determine the
characteristics and general texture of our fu-
ture citizenship. Happily, it is evident, both
from the tone of the independent press and the
utterances of representative citizens, that the
seriousness of our Immigration problem is, if
not fully at least fairly well, realized. Of
course, as with every other public question, the
views expressed as to the ways and means to
be employed in dealing with the problem dif-
fer considerably, even radically; but upon the
general proposition that our Immigration pol-
icy needs to be revised, and that speedily,
opinion is almost unanimous. As noting the
widespread dissatisfaction that exists in re-
gard to present conditions in that respect, it
may, perhaps, not be amiss to quote a few press
opinions on the subject, culled at random.
The Troy (N. Y.) Record, for instance, says-
It is time to stop the dumping of undesirables upon
the American shore. Foreign governmi nts have taken
advantage of the loose regulations to rid themselves
(jf the disabled and the vicious among their popula-
tion, thus inflicting upon the American people an un-
just and wholly unnecessary burden.
The "loose regulations" referred to by the
Troy Record are, of course, the outcome in the
first place of the listless attitude of our Gov-
ernment upon all questions which do not di-
rectly affect the prosperity of the trusts, and,
in the next place, of the well-known criminal
understanding existing betwen the emigration
officials of certain foreign Governments, the
steamship companies, and the venal element in
our own Immigration Service. Thanks to this
state of affairs, the United States is to-day
flooded with a class of aliens which their own
Governments are only too happy to be rid of.
It needs no prophet to tell where this policy
of inaction and criminal connivance will ulti-
mately lead to; nor can one be reasonably ac-
cused of being a calamity-howler for denounc-
ing it, or for insisting upon the enactment of
laws that will stop this damnable crime againsl
posterity.
Again, the New York Globe says:
Thai this great rush of raw human material to our
shores has been a leading force in the upbuilding of
the country is self-evideut. Its further continuance,
however, unchecked by any selective brake as to
quality or numbers, is believed by many observers to
threaten the stability of present economic conditons.
The New York Globe, as may be inferred
from the foregoing, represents that conserva-
tive element among our people which would
lain avoid disturbing our present Immigration
policy, yet can not close its eyes to the result-
ant evils. It is notable, too, that this element,
while freely conceding the danger of
unrestricted immigration, usually sides with
those who are opposed to any and all
proposed remedial legislation, fearing, with
the proverbial timidity of conservatism,
that, bad as the evil itself undoubl
edly is, untried remedies mighl make matters
even worse. But, to continue, the Troy
(N. Y.) Times says:
Our Immigration l;i»s have been amended to meet
what arc> regarded as the more serious of the evils thus
imported, but no one need he told that the check is still
insufficient to keep out undesirable persons.
And, again, the Providence (R. I.) Journal:
The whole question, both of restriction and distribu-
tion, is one that must be faced, and its settlement can
not much longer be evaded.
And the Fresno (Cal.) Democrat:
One of the most difficult social and political prob-
lems that this Government has to deal with is the sub-
ject of foreign immigration. Thai the liberal laws of
the land are shamefully abused no reasonable or ob-
servant person can doubt.
As bearing upon the legislative aspect of
the subject under consideration, the Chicago
Record-Herald has this to say:
Senators and Representatives have expressed them-
selves as confident that the Immigration law will be
overhauled during the present session. No one. how-
ever, possesses a definite idea of the sort of legislation
that will finally emerge from the present confusing
multiplicity of bills dealing with the subject.
Enough has been quoted to show the nation-
al scope of the dissatisfaction felt with our
present fatuous Immigration policy, its also the
strong sentiment in favor of speedy legislation
on the subject. To be sure, any one voicing
such sentiments risks the awful possibility of
being suspected by the New York Times and its
colleagues among the trust organs of having
been unduly influenced, if not frightened, by
the "sand-lot temper of the trade-unions."
There may be some indirect justification for
the suspicion of the Times and its colleagues,
too, for the trade-union movement now has
within its sphere of active influence the most
progressive-minded citizens of the country,
and the "temper" of these men — although
not of the "sand-lot "variety — has undoubtedly
had a great deal to do with fanning the pres-
ent agitation for a rational and protective Im-
migration policy.

Work for Direct Legislation and the lie-
call!
Talk about being advertised by our loving
friends, and we are right there with the goods.
The Seamen's Union, it seems, has been per-
manently retained by the shipowner's lobby in
Washington to serve as a bugbear with which
to frighten timid Congressmen from voting
"yea" on any measure designed to protect
the public from such disasters as that which
befell the Slocum. "If you pass this meas-
ure," says the lobby to Mr. Timid Represent-
ative, "the Seamen's Union will have both us
and the traveling public absolutely at its
mercy." Of course, there is not a single ob-
jection on the part of the lobby to any pro-
vision of the measure having a tendency to in-
crease the cost of operation of vessels by mak-
ing it mandatory upon shipowners to employ
real seamen on their vessels instead of, as
now, waterfront shines at thirty cents per
head, and dear at that. Oh no! the shipown-
ers would gladly spend millions — or billions
to insure the safety of life on shipboard
honest, they would hut, well, er, to have to
ship good union seamen, may he, when there
are so many cheap Chinamen and bums to he
had not on your life!
Ii, is much to be Beared that as a union-
baiter Mr. ( '. W. Post has proved himself
rather a disappointment to his hackers, lie
has no doubt learned by this time thai il re
quires something besides unlimited gall and
capital to break up the trade-union move-
ment.
The old saw, "self-praise is do recom-
mendation," has seemingly no significance for
the politician who owns a newspaper or two.
"Culture" nowadays is as a rule merely
knowledge of more things than one can under-
stand.
Time is the champion disenehanter of all the
little bubbles our hearts delight in toying
with.
The man who has faith in his own work can
general!.,- he trusted to work faithfully for
others.
The things that survive the iconoclasm of
Time are mediocre, rather than base or sub-
lime.
The mind that is capable of rising the high-
est is also the mind that can sink the lowest.
It takes a well-developed mind to sound the
depths of human infamy, no less than to climb
to the summit of human greatness.
The Denver Republican thinks that all any
man has to do who feels that he is not getting
a square deal from the world is to "stand in
the open and cry his wrongs, and men will
hear and be quick to help him right them."
That's a fine theory, but its practice is usual-
ly rather discouraging where "money talks."
The Binghamton (N. Y.) Central Labor
Union, on December 31, amended its by-laws
so as to permit members of the building
trades unions affiliated with the central body
to work on buildings on which non-union men
are employed, provided such non-union nun
are not of the same trade as the union men.
If our courts of law were as prompt to en-
join crooked financiers and captains of indus-
try from accumulating more "tainted
money" as they are to enjoin striking work-
ing-men from exercising their constitutional
rights, "Government by Injunction" would
at least have the element of impartiality to
i ecommend it.
Ah there, John! Melican man velly smart.
A bill has been introduced in the Assembly of

San Francisco on January 31, bound to New York,
towing the side-wheel steamer Olympian from Port-
land, Or., passed Sandy Point in the Straits of Mag-
gellan on March 10, according to a message received
at New York on the 13th from Punta Arenas. All
were well on board.
The finding of the British Columbia Commissioners
who investigated the Valencia disaster is ready ami
will be presented this week. It is stated that they find
the wreck due to an error of judgment on the part
of Captain Johnson. They will recommend that Life-
Saving stations be established and that many aids to
navigation also Vie arranged for in the North.
The Italian ship Cressington, Captain Massa, arriv-
ed at San Francisco on March 14, loo days from Rot-
terdam, via the Cape of Good Hope, with a cargo of
pig iron, coke and iron. Having some hesitation about
the Cape Horn passage, Captain Massa steered a
course irom the start for Good Hope, and he reports
that the passage was made with no untoward incident.
The Matson Navigation Company 's steamer Enter-
prise arrived at San Francisco on March 4, nine and
one-half days from Hilo, towing the small steamer
Charles Counselman, which has for some time been
doing duty as a tug in Hilo harbor, but is henceforth
to lie used by the Associated Oil Company in towing
:i\ barges on the < 'oast.
Captain 1. E. Thayer, of San Francisco, has receiv-
ed from Paris a large bronze bas-relief statue, em-
blematic of Truth, set in a background of African
marble, from the Bureau Veritas, which he has repre-
sented in the first-named city for the past twenty-five
years, the occasion of the gift being the completion
of Captain Thayer's twenty-fifth year as the local
representative of the French company.
News has been received from Skidegate, B. C, that
a life-buoy and two oars marked " S. S. Zapora, " and
two dories, not marked, have been found on Graham
Island. Two broken oak-built ship's boats, ten oars
and about 2000 feet of lumber also came ashore be-
tween Skidegate and Rose Spit. The Zapora is a
steam fishing vessel, carrying about thirty men, which
plies from Tacoma to the halibut banks of Queen
Charlotte Sound.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San

183 days from Hamburg for San Francisco, 15 per
cent.
A bottle was picked up on the beach near San Fran-
cisco on March 10, containing a message reading as
follows: "British ship Drumcraig, Captain Melailum.
Sinking at sea, north latitude 43, west longitude 127.
W. W. Bates, able-seaman." (The location described
would lie approximately 300 miles west of San Fran-
cisco. The message is believed to be genuine as a man
named Bates is known to have been a member of the
Crew of the missing ship.)
John K. Bulger, Focal inspector of Steam Vessels,
has filed information with United States Attorney
Robert T. Devlin, at San Francisco, against Azariah
Dunham, chief-engineer of the steamer Roanoke, in
which the engineer is accused of having, on the Roan
oke 's last passage to Portland, so wedged an. I shored
the safety value that it did not register the amount

Captain Joseph L. Bees, of the British ship Mor-
ven, at San Francisco on March 11 from Antwerp, re
ported that on March 0, seventy-five miles southwest
of the Farallone Islands, he sighted a. mast standing
three feet out of the water. The mast appeared to lie
attached to a submerged wreck, and had evidently been
in the water a long time. Shipping men yesterday ex-
pressed the opinion that the mast was attached to no
Wreck, for no vessel has lately been reported as lost
and unaccounted for on the Coast.
Two of the overdue vessels were crossed from the
reinsurance list at San Francisco on March 13, having
arrived at their destination. The American scl or
W. F. C.arms, quoted at (id per cent for reinsurance,
and which was 113 days out on the passage from
Newcastle, Australia, for Eleele, reached that port, and
the schooner Rosamond, eighty-five days out on the
same trip, and quoted at 'JO per cent, also reached
Eleele. Both vessels had been posted as overdue, after
news had been received of the terrific hurricane in
the South Seas in the early part of February.
The War and Navy departments have been officially
advised of the completion of the work in San Pablo
Bay, Cal., resulting in increasing the depth of the
channel to Mare Island Navy Yard. There is now a
depth of thirty feet at mean low water, with a width
of 300 feet at the liottom of the channel. This enables
any vessel afloat to reach Mare Island with facility.
Naval officers say there is no navy yard in the country
with better approaches than Mare island, and it is no-
ticeable that in the hearings before Congressional com-
mittees there is no longer the time-worn intimation
that Mare Island and appropriations should be kept
down until a deeper channel is provided.
Captain R. T. Lawless, of the Oceanic liner Mari-
posa, who patented a .stellar compass that has attain-
ed to some prominence among ships of the Navy and
in the merchant marine, has also invented a plani-
sphere. For the past two years he has been studying
over this latest device, and only since arriving at San
Francisco on his last trip from Tahiti has hi' com
pleted his work. The planisphere is intended for the
use of navigators only, and shows how to locate the
stars for meridian altitude or longtitude. Like his
former invention, the stellar compass, the plani-
sphere promises to be not only a valuable guide to
navigators, but a source id' some profit to Captain
Lawless.

Pacific Coast Federation of
Longshoremen.
Seattle, Wash., March (i, 1906.
'I'o the President, Officers and Members:
Sirs and Brothers — Attention is directed
to the date of the first annual convention of
the Pacific Coast, Federation of Longshoremen,
which convenes at Aberdeen, .Monday, May 7,
liHMi, and following' days, remaining in session
till business is completed.
It is not be be expected that, a young' organi-
zation, hurriedly formed, should have attained
perfection; by-laws and rules which front
experience have proven impracticable, will
have to lie revised or amended according
to circumstances. One of the most important
matters to be dealt with will be the transfer
card proposition, and the placing- of organiz-
ers in the Held. Financially, our organization
is a success, but the unsettled condition
brought about, by International jurisdiction
troubles has retarded our efforts in increasing
numerically.
Most of lite Pacific Coasl unions have now
regained their normal temperature: the ne-
cessity of being' united under one head, gov-
erned locally, is more apparent, and it be-
comes our duty to try and enroll under our
banner all longshoremen on the Pacific Coast.
The opportune time has arrived for an ener-
getic and vigorous campaign and should not
be neglected. The Pacific Coast Federation
of Longshoremen aims to conduct its business
upon a. strictly conservative basis, profiting
by the experience gained by older labor or-
ganizations and avoiding repetitions of their
shortcomings and blunders.
It is requested that your local be fully rep-
resented at the convention. The prosperity
of the Pacific Coast Federation of Longshore-
men depends upon its locals' endeavors and
the interest taken in its affairs by the mem-
bers individually. The field is large, the
cause worthy, the bettering of your condition
its object. It is earnestly requested that you
will zealously advocate and steadily persevere
in your efforts to bring about desired results.
Respectfully and fraternally yours,
C. 11. James.
Secretary and Treasurer.

SUPREME COURT ON CITIZENSHIP.
Sonic weeks ago the Journal aoted the ac-
tion of the California Supreme Court, deny-
ing the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of
San Francisco to summarily revoke citizen-
ship papers, and restoring the citizenship
rights of Paul E. Scharrenberg. Another de-
cision by the same court and to the same effect
was rendered on the 14th inst.. in the matter
of citizenship of Walter Tim. The legality
of Tinn's papers was questioned by Secret
Service Agent Taylor, and Tinn, being led by
Taylor to fear prosecution, "consented" to
I lie revocation of his certificate of naturaliza-
tion. Afterward Tinn appealed to the State
Supreme Court, which tribunal has decided
that the Superior Court had no jurisdiction.
In brief, the Supreme Court rules thai citizen-
ship papers can only be revoked by one of
three lawful modes, i. e., by a motion made
within six months after the papers are issued.
by an action in equity, or by a court having
appellate jurisdiction over the subject The
Language of the decision is in part as follows;
This is a proceeding by Walter Tinn to obtain a writ
of certiorari to annul an order of the Superior Court
of the city and county of San Francisco, cancelling a
previous order of that court admitting him as a citi-
of the United States. The order of cancellation
was made upon motion of the United States District At-
torney, purporting to be made as in the course of the
original proceeding, on November 23, 1905.
The only question which we can consider in a pro-
ling in certiorari is that of jurisdiction. The writ
, .1,1 .ml;, i a the court under review has in some
manner exceeded its jurisdiction. (Code Civ. 1'
Sec. L068.) It' the Superior Court had jurisdiction
to make the order cancelling the previous order ad-
mitting the petitioner to citizenship, then its judg-
ment in the matter can not be reviewed in certiorari,
although it may have been rendered upon insulin
evidence or in some irregular method of procedure oot
going to t he jurisdiction.
The contention of the petiti r is that an order ad-
mitting an alien to citizenship, made by a court of
competent jurisdiction, is a judgment, possessing all
the i -tics of an ordinary judgment of a court.
ing jurisdiction of the sub er and the per-
son; that after the lapse of six months from the ti
auch order is made, it is too late to institute proceed-
ings by motion to vacate the same; that when such pro-
ceedings are instituted after such lapse of time, the
court is without jurisdiction to act therein; ami
only proceeding which can be thereafter taken to
ate such order is an action in equity to set it aside,
lie ground thai it is procured by fraud or mistake.
We think this contention is correct. It is settled by
the authorities thai an order admitting an alien to eit-
,hip is a judgment of the same dignity as any
Other judgment Of a court having jurisdiction. (Tint
cd states' v. Norseh, 42. Fed., 117; C monwealth v.
Paper 1 Brewst., 263; [n re McCoppin, .", Sawy., ti::_;
Sprati v. Spratt, t Peters, 408; stark v. Chesapeake
Ins. < o., 7 ('ranch., 420; People v. McGowan, 77 111.,
(544.) This being so, such judgment must possess the
i-amc qu ilitis ac an. other i a lg,:ient of i : :mrt lin-
ing jurisdiction, and, consequently, it can not be set
aside, except, in ignized lawful mode. Itm
three modes are recognized by law. These are, first, a
motion made under Section 473 of the Ci
Procedure, within six months after the judgment is
taken; second, by an action in equity; third, by an
appeal to some court having apellate jurisdiction over
abject. The latter is. of course, not involved
here.
The vacating order in question uns made in a pro-
ceeding begun three years after the making
original order, ami, therefore, it can not he sustained
as a proceeding by motion under the Cod,'. After the
lapse of six months from the time the petitioner was
admitted to citizenship, there was no authority foi
the institution of a proceeding by motion to vacate the
judgment admitting him.
Referring to the "consent" given by Tinn
in the proceeding before the Superior Court,
the decision of the Supreme Court quotes the
record in the former instance ami points out
that such "consent*' did not give the Superior
Court jurisdiction. Tpon this point the Su-
preme Court says:
The consent of Walter Tinn referred to in the fore-
going record was the only writing produced relating to
iiis case. It was manifestly not presented as a com-
or petition to the court, but was merely filed in
evidence in support of tin' oral motion made by the
I oited states Attorney. It was a paper purporting to
he signed and acknowledged by Walter Tinn, in which
iie "admits" that the order admitting him as a citizen
and certificate thereof "were obtained by falsi
mony and fraud," and "consents that 'the order so
admitting him as a citizen of the f> s of
America, as aforesaid, be vacated and set asii
Whatever force this document might have as evidence
in an action or proceeding regularly begun, to prove an
allegation or fraud, it clearly was nut intended, nor .an
it be considered, as a substitute for a complaint aga
the petitioner. Even if it could be considered as an
appearance to the motion and a consent that such
tion be granted, it could not gi\e the court power to
act after the time had elapse, | within which proceed-
ings by motion could be instituted It can only be
considered as effective for the purpose tor which the
record shows it to have bee,, intended, that is as evi-
dence in support of the motion then made to the court.
As such it could have n rhatever t<
court, jurisdiction over the cause. In whatever light
the record is viewed, it is clear that thl art D
obtained jurisdiction to make the orders under review,
end it follows that they should be annulled.
Tt is, therefore, ordered that the several orders of the
Superior Courl dated November 23, 1905, purporting
to set aside the order of November 19, 1902, admitting
Walter Tinn to citizenship as a citizen of the United
States and to cancel the certificate of citizenship then
issued to him, be and the same are hereby annulled.

The decision of the Supreme Court is unan-
imous, except as to -lust ice sh>ss. who re-
frains from concurrence, possibly because of
a natural dislike to reverse himself, the de-
cision of the Superior Court having been ren-
dered by the latter while yet on the bench of
the lower tribunal.
The decisions in the Scharrenberg and Tinn
eases prove the utter lack of justification in
the methods pursued by the Secret Service
men in their investigation | | i of naturaliza-
tion frauds. Briefly, these methods are those
of the bully. The victim having been selected,
he has been bluntly charged with fraud and
threatened with imprisonment. As the alter-
native of this penalty, the alleged fraudulent
citizen has been told that by surrendering his
papers lie may escape prosecution. Such, in
a nutshell, is the Secrel Service method of
ferreting out violations of the law. That
method is simplicity in itself, as simple as any
other method of hold-up.
Much, if not practically till, of the so-called
exposure of naturalization frauds in San
Francisco and vicinity amounts to nothing
more than so much snap judgment. A man
is suddenly accused of fraud and menaced by
threats of imprisonment; in his confusion the
victim pleads guilty, therefore he is guilty!
\n accommodating Superior Judge summarily
revokes the man's certificate of naturalization.
Another alien is created, another fraud is "ex-
pose,!." and the Secret Service men record
another victory for their peculiar methods!
Of all the men on the Pacific Coast whose
citizenship papers have recently been invali-
dated, probably the great majority are suf-
ferers from the methods here referred )„.
These men are deprived of their political
rights, submitted to the suspicion, or. what is
even worse, the pity. of their associates and,
worst of all. denied the opportunity of em-
ployment in the vocation for which they are
otherwise qualified — all by virtue of the raw-
est kind of bluff. The question as to the ac-
tual defects alleged to exist in many of the in-
stances under discussion is not here consider-
ed. That question is one that must first he
considered by a court of competent jurisdic-
tion. The question here considered is the
failure of the Secret Service men to submit
the evidence of those alleged defects to such
a court In passing, however, it may be said
that such defects as may exist are due more
to the carelessness, or worse, of the courts is-
suing citizenship papers than to any wrongful
intent or action on the part of the p
seeking citizenship. Why. then, should the
latter be victimized for a fault that is at least
equally shared by the former? Why should
a court which creates citizens in violation cd'
the law be permitted to destroy them by the
same process! The answer to these questions
is found in the decision of the California Su
preme Court in the Scharrenberg and Tinn
cases. That decision is, in effect, that a court.
having granted citizenship, can not revoke
that grant except upon fair and ftdl trial.
Simple as are the methods of the Secret
Service men. the recourse of the prospective
victim is equally simple. The Supreme Courl
decision suggests that course quite clearly.
Hereafter the man who is confronted with
the Secret Service command to "stand and
deliver'" need pay no attention to the bluff.
The Secret Service gun isn't loaded. In fact.

Secret Service Agent Taylor will do well
to take notice that there is a law in the laud
which even he must obey, even if he neither
loves nor honors it.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
THE SIXTH ON THE COAST.
The Sixth of March anniversary of the
Sailors' Union of the Pacific was observed by
the members in port at the respective agencies
along the Coast, in accordance with usual
custom. At Aberdeen, Portland, and San
Peclro, the celebration took the form of open
meetings, at which addresses were made by
members and their friends among the public.
The number in attendance at San Pedro
I axed the capacity of the hall. The celebra-
tion at Aberdeen was marked by a large at-
tendance and great enthusiasm. The Grays
Harbor Post, published in that city, made an
extended report of the proceedings, from
which we reprint the following:
Tuesday night was the 21st anniversary of
the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, and the Aberdeen
branch of the International Seamen's Union of Ameri-
ca held exercises suitable to the occasion.
Sailors' Union Hall was tastefully decorated with
flags and bunting. Seats were neatly arranged and
the floor was as clean as the deck of a warship in 1 ime
of peace. All the sailors on shove and many visitors
from the Trades Council and affiliated unions were
present. Order was called promptly at 7:30 by Chair-
man John Gronow, who was the founder of the union
movement on Grays Harbor and the first agent of the
Sailors' Union in Aberdeen. Agent Wm. Gold, under
whose charge the Aberdeen branch has flourished,
opened the meeting with the following address:
Mr. Chairman and Comrades: We have assembled
here to-night to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the
birthday of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, which
was inaugurated on March 6, 1885, on a lumber pile on
Folsom street, San Francisco, Cal. There were only
a few seamen of the Pacific Coast who, imbued with
the spirit of freedom, declared their independence of
the men and the methods that had kept them in pov-
erty and degradation for many years. The cheers that
ratified that declaration have rung in the ears of the
seamen in every port of the world for the last twenty-
one years, and will be heard until our ideal, the ''Bro-
therhood of the Sea," is an accomplished fact. Tn the
years that since have passed the Sailors' Union of the
Pacific has proven that the seamen are among the most
competent class of people to effectually maintain the
principles of trade-unionism. It has grown steadily,
until to-day it has extended its influence and power
over every port on the Pacific Coast, from Seattle to
Honolulu.
Comrade Cold proceeded to review at length
the work accomplished by the Union for the
moral and material improvement of the sea-
men's conditions, concluding as follows:
That is what the Union has done for the seamen in
the brief period of its existence. Properly considered
and weighed, it will be seen that these achievements
amount to more in the real advancement of the seamen
than all the efforts of all other movements in all the
years gone by. And still these achievements are but a
promise of what the Union may, and will, accomplish
with a continuance of the seaman 's personal loyalty to
the principle of trade-unionism. So let us ever be
ready and bear in mind the worthy objects of our or-
ganization. The day may be near at hand that you
all will be called upon to put your shoulder to the
wheel and help steer the good old ship safely to the
goal of everlasting brotherhood. We may be some few
hundred miles away from the birthplace of our Union,
our hearts and minds are still with them wherever we
may be, and in token thereof let us give three cheers
I or the Sailors' Union of the Pacific.
At the' close of the address, Mr. Gohl proposed three
cheers for the Sailors' Union of the Pacific and rney
were given with a free, sincere swing for which sailors
from the beginning of time have been noted.
There were no hesitating, half-drawn notes, but the
full, clear, ringing cheers of strong men who felt the
cause they were cheering.
Chairman (Ironow then introduced J. W. Clark, who
made a few impromptu remarks, expressing apprecia-
tion of the work of the Sailors' Union and the cour-
age and fortitude required to follow the hazardous call-
ing of sailors.
Mr. George McGeary, President of the Grays Har-
bor Trades and Labor Council, was introduced and
complimented the Sailors upon their splendid adher
ence to their Union, classifying them as "stayers of
the first class," and suggesting that it was not neces-
sary to urge them to stay by the union of their craft,
as ho knew they would do that.
Mr. Fred Hewitt was then called upon and made a
few straightforward remarks, stating that he was in
sympathy with unions; that he didn't often find it
necessary to lie but that he lied when he was 18 years
old in order to get into a union in the State of Maine
at, the time when the old Knights of Labor were form
ed. No man that heard the speaker but believed he
told the truth when he said that he was in sympathy
with unions.
Mr. G. W. Makurath, of the Cigarmakers'
made a short address, stating that he had belonged 1"
the union of his craft since he was old enough, thai lie
believed in the union cause and principle and that hi'
would remain with the movement as long as he lived.
lie urged tin- Sailors to hold fast to, and build up He n
organization.
A good, straight-from-the shoulder talk on Chinese
Exclusion was made by James Smith, of the Sailors,
and another short address, also pertinent to the labor
movement, was made by Prank Johnson, of the Sailors.
At this time Agent Gohl suggested that as the home
branch at San Francisco was in session and that a word
from the Aberdeen branch might be appreciated it was
unanimously carried by the Sailors that a telegram be
.sent to San Francisco. The following was the mes-
sage:
"March 6th, 1&00.
"To Sailors' Union id' the Pacific, San Francisco, Cal.
"Strive on, comrades, until the Brotherhood of the
Sea is an accomplished fact. Best wishes from the
Aberdeen branch of the Sailors' Union id' the Pacific.
" Wm. (loin,, Agent. ' '
The chairman who had introduced the various speak-
ers in appropriate words, had been repeatedly called
upon himself, by the audience, to make some remarks
of his own, and he responded in a manner which rc-
llected credit upon himself and showed the Sailors as
one of the most important classes of men in the history
of the world. Mr. (ironow said in part :
It is natural for a man to be partial to his craft,
and 1 suppose my partiality for the sailor may seem
to some men tn lie i -sided, but I believe if a man
studies history closely, he will be surprised at the im-
portant part which sailors have played in the history
of the world. It was sailors that carried the great
commerce in the Eastern Mediterranean at the time
ni Greece ami Phoenicia. Without sailors, America
could not have been discovered. Without America
there could have been no Cigarmakers' Union, for there
would have been no tobacco to make cigars, so you see
the sailors made it possible for (here to lie cigar
makers. Without sailors there would be no Oriental
question, one of the greatest questions of the time.
Without sailors Christianity could not have spread ovei
the world, and it is a fact that nearly every great war
of history was finally decided by a great battle on the
sea. Take the Spanish Armada that tried to land on
the coast of England. Take Dewey in Manila Pay, and
Schley or Sampson, whichever you wish, at Santiago de
Cuba, or Togo in the Sea of Japan, smashing the Rus-
sian fleet. All these instances merely prove the value
of the sailor to the world. "When Christ was on earth,
he knew the value of sailors for he picked his followers
from the fishermen of Galilee.
Mr. Gronow 's remarks were received enthusiastically.
Cigars were passed to every man in the audience, there
being no liquor of any kind served. The meeting had
a splendid educational value and marked a happy mile-
stone in the life of the Sailors' Union.
The result of the vote taken by the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific on the question of renew-
ing the present agreement with the Steamship
Association (steam-schooner owners) gives a
very large majority against the proposition.
In fact, the sentiment of the members is very
nearly unanimous against signing up for
another year under the prevailing rate of
wages. The vote indicates a very general con-
viction that the steam-schooner men are en-
titled to an increase of wages, both as a mat-
ter of justice and as a matter of necessity.
The discontinuance of the agreement which
has existed for several years is to be regretted
upon the ground that a formal pledge of peace
for a definite period is preferable to the un-
certain tenure of arrangements made upon
the basis of conditions as these exist at any
given moment. But, of course, an agreement
is only a means to an end, and that end is
justice in the relations between employer and
employe. "When an agreement ceases to eon-
serve that end, it is well to drop it, since to
continue it is certain to create friction.
Agreement or no agreement, it is to be
hoped that the peaceful relations between the
Sailors' Union and the Steamship Association
will not be interrupted. The rejection of the
agreement is not necessarily a prelude to war,
but merely notification that the latter has
ceased to IHIIill its function as a bond pf
equity between the parties.

Wheelsmen on the Lakes.
'I his article is one of the few ever written
on (lie subject, but its publication seems
requisite under the circumstances. It would
seem that any rule or custom established by
public sanction, however absurd or detrimi a-
tal in its true character, is considered indispen-
sable, or at least can not be altered wit In nit
tear iif a dire catastrophe. Bui dors any
in reality believe this to be the fact0 Now,
in the ease of the Lake sailor, ami especially
the class known as wheelsmen, who are re-
quired to stand six hours at the helm, is there
any valid reason to justify such a rule, other
than that the men in question arc content wit!'.
I he present order of things? If not it could
long ago have been altered.
I)i> you not think a change would lie bene-
ficial .' Have you not noticed how tedious it is
to stand, so to say. in an immovable position
lor half a day or night? And how unhealthy-,
how you must strain your eyes until they
smart and ache. How you by lack of exer-
cise are subject to indices! ion ■- all for the
benefit of the vesselowuers and their families.
But, of course, your disadvantage is a small
consideration, where the building up of enor-
mous fortunes for somebody else, and of
which you only receive a paltry pittance, is
the object in view. And then also think of the
honor of being allowed for such a length of
time to he in close proximity to the command-
er-in-chief; that alone is worth more than
your eyes and stomach !
In the meantime sound judgment and can
dor should dictate that two or three hours is
all sufficient. This would be conducive to
health and comfort. In case shipowners would
not agree to carry three wheelsmen, 1 do not
think that three hours work around decii
would be much of an imposition, nor verj
hurtful. On the contrary, it would give one
an appetite, and the time would not seem so
long. I would SUggesI that all who are in
favor of having the present system abolished,
should advocate the same in order that an al-
teration may be effected in the near future.

Suspended for Sixty Days.
In January the Port Huron Steam boat In-
spectors revoked the license of Captain -lames
Montgomery of the steamer Bielman for fail-
ure to report a collision in which his boat fig-
ured within the limit set by law. He appealed
from the decision and made the statement that
his report was delayed in reaching the inspec-
tors owing to misunderstanding with his at-
torney. This showing and a careful investiga-
tion have caused Supervisor Inspector West-
cott, of Detroit, to modify the finding of the
Port Huron Inspectors to suspension for sixty
days, the suspension terminating on March 9.
The Bielman collided with the sandsucker
Burroughs in the St. Clair River and the Bur-
roughs went to the bottom.
B. A. & A. B. McKay, of Hamilton, Ont.
have sold the steamer Lake Michigan to tin
Sarnia Transportation Company.
Freighters and Crushers.
'fhe American Shipbuilding Company, ac-
cording to the Cleveland Plain Dealer has
closed a conl ract for another big freighter.
The steamer will carry 7,500 tons.
The steamer is for Lake Michigan parties
and will be managed by Captain D. Sullivm..
of Chicago. She will be a duplicate of the
Becker boats. \V. G. Pollock and Joshua
Rhodes, and the steamer ordered by Captain
Sullivan about a month ago. She will come
out in 111(17.
The new freighter will be named after the
late W. B. Fitzgerald, of Milwaukee, who was
assistant general manager of the American
Shipbuilding Company.
The officials of the Croat Lakes Towing
Company are preparing plans for a power-
ful ice-crushing tug, the general dimensions
of which will be the same as the tug Rec-
ord, of Duluth. 'file new tUg will be built
at the company's yard at Chicago and will
come out the coming season, 'fhe tug will have
a new boiler and the machinery of one of the
company's tugs which was dismantled will be
pu1 in her. 'fhe new boat will be seventy-six
feet long.
The officials of the Company have not de-
cided where the new boat will be stationed,
but they have planned to have a big ice-crush-
ing tug at all tin' leading ports where they
are called on to do winter work. The new
tug will have a big pump and will make a
good fire-fighter.

Changes in Lights.
Notice has been given of further changes
in the aids to navigation on the Greal Lakes.
An alteration has been made in the Slate Isl-
and light on the north coast of Lake Superior.
The old light has been supplanted by a fourth
order dioptric illuminating apparatus which
throws a i\s'-(\ white light further out on im
hi a and is more penetrating in stormy weather.
A seventh order lens has been in use hereto-
fore. A new light tower has been erected by
the Canadian Covernmeiit at the entrance of
Gravenhurst Narrows, Muskoka Lake, and on
the southeastern point of Pension Island, Lake
! I n roii. a lixvd white dioptric light of the sixth
order, elevated t Wellty-oigllt feet above the
Lake level, and visible eight miles from al!
points of approach on the water, has been
placed in the new tower.
'fhe schooner Apprentice Boy. owned by
Airs. John Peil of Chicago, has ben sold 1o
the Tebo Coal Company, of that city. The
vessel will be dismantled and converted into a
coal barge to be employed in the river at
that port. The craft was built in Milwaukee
thirty-nine years ago. She has been engaged
in the lumber and cedar carrying trade from
the time she came out until the end of last
season, when she was put on the market. The
price paid for the craft is not known.
'fhe steamer David Z. Norton, building at
the Cleveland yards of the American Ship-
building Company for W. C. Richardson, was
launched on March 10. The new steamer will
be 500 feel overall, 480 feet keel. .".'_> feet beam
and will carry S700 tons.
It is rumored that several more contracts
Tei new ore carriers are maturing.
The City Council of Sandusky has decided
1o issue at once $50,000 bonds for completing
the west end channel through rock to a depth
of thirty-one feet.
Manager C. 0. Duncan, of the Port Huron
& Duluth Steamship Company has bought the
steamer New York from the Union Steamboat
Company, of Buffalo.
The Cleveland Leader states that the Clark
system of wireless telegraphy will be estab-
lished on the Great Lakes passenger and
freight steamers this year.
'fhe Ilacklcy Transportation Company has
sold its steamer ('has. II. Ilacklcy and all its
deck facilities at Muskegon and Chicago to the
Goodrich Transportation Company. The con-
sideration is supposed to have been about
$100,
The Marine Cooks' and Stewards' Union
paid $600 Death Benefits and $360 Ship-
wreck Benefits during 1905. The organiza-
tion is in fine shape financially, better by far
than ever before, and the boys have an organ-
ization and a set of officers to be proud of.
The Standard Contracting Company has
begun dredging out a slip at No. 3 Pennsyl-
vania dock at Ashtabula. (>.. to make a landing
for tin' new ear-ferryboat which is to ply bc-
tween thai port and Canada this summer, 'flic
dredging outfit is double crewed, with orders
to push the work with all possible dispatch.
'fhe steamer John Sherwin. building at the
West Bay City yards of the American Ship-
building Company, for the Gilchrist Trans-
portation Company, was launched on March
10. being the second steamer for that company
to be launched at Bay City this year. She is
534 feet over all. 514 feet keel. 54 feet beam.
31 feet deep, and will carry 9,500 tons.
The first boat up the river for the season of
1906, was tin' General Williams, United States
Lake survey steamer. She slipped away
quietly on March 3. bound for Porl Huron,
where she will be lengthened twenty-five feet
by the Wolverine Drydock Company. The
Williams is in command of Captain McDon-
ald. She will be 125 feet long when she ( ICS
out of the hands of the drydock people.
There is reported to be twenty million
bushels of -rain in storage at the head of tin-
Lakes, awaiting the opening of navigation,
and there are between 300,000 and 350,000
Ions of coal afloat at Buffalo. This docs not
include the car-os loaded at other Laki Erie
ports. There will probably be no more coal
loaded at Buffalo for the ]. resent, but the de-
mand for vessel room in other ports continues,
'fhe little wooden steamer Desmond quietly
cleared from Cleveland recently with a cargQ
of coal for J. N. Mullen & Company of Wind-
sor, and arrived at Detroit on March 8, with
every lump of her 600 or 700 tons safely on
hoard, 'fhe boat was in command of Captain
Dixon, of Cleveland, and Samuel Braund. of
Detroit is chief engineer. She dodged several
good-sized ice fields in Lake Erie and caDM
through without injury.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOUKNAL.
Elephant's Feat of Memory.
Bazil, a 50-year-old elephant, recently pur-
chased by the Hippodrome, unhesitatingly
went through a series of tricks recently which
she had not performed in twenty-three years.
"This," says the press agent, "was a test of
paehydermic memory which corroborates all
that tradition and history assume."
The test was brought about by an argument
between Peter Barlow, an elephant trainer,
and Dr. Martin J. Potter, a veterinary sur-
geon, which resulted in a wager of $500. The
press agent says he actually saw the money
pass from the hands of the doctor to the
trainer.
Bazil was one of the first elephants brought
to this country by P. T. Barnum. She was
the charge of "Bob" Fryer in the Barnum
circus. At that time Peter Barlow was only
a boy bareback rider, but a fast friendship
grew up between him and Bazil, so that she
"executed all the boy's instructions with
obedience and zeal."
In 1880 there came a sad parting, for Bazil
was purchased by Fryer for his own circus in
Australia. Two years later Fryer died, and
poor Bazil was sold from one master to anoth-
er, and did drudge work to which she was
little accustomed. She was so big and strong
that she often had to pull pole wagons out of
the mud when other beasts had failed. John
II. Starin bought Bazil from Ringling Broth-
ers, and she was installed on Glen Island.
Thompson & Dundy then bought her for the
Hippodrome. The moment she saw Peter
Barlow, though she hadn't seen him for twen-
ty-three years, she began to trumpet loudly
and "flap her pendulous ears with gleeful vig-
or." The meeting was very affecting.
Peter Barlow said that he would bet Bazil
would do over the old tricks she used to do
for him. Dr. Potter smiled incredulously, and
there. followed a bet of $500 in more or less
real money. The feat of "paehydermic mem-
ory" was performed. Bazil going through her
old tricks "with unvarying accuracy and
punctuality," though she hadn't practiced
them in twenty-three long years.
Bazil stood on her head and then on her
hind legs, walked lame, waltzed, did a cake
walk, rang a dinner bell, and did all her an-
cient stunts without a hitch. — New York
Times.
The first census of the island of Formosa
since the Japanese occupation, which was
taken on October 1, 1905, shows a perma-
nent population of 3,050,000 and a temporary
population of 20,000. The number of dwell-
ings is 487.000 and 775 vessels are used as
dwellings.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
Eight Hours on the Canal.
As is known, when the Urgenl Deficiency
Hill was up before the House of Representa-
tives, the chairman of the committee having
the bill in charge, the Honorable Mr. Littauer,
of Gloversville, New STork, the man known
to ho hostile to organized labor, offered a rider
to the bill which, at the requesl of the rep-
resentives of the American Federation of La-
bor, was objected to upon "a point of order"
and ruled out. A resolution in the form of a
bill was then introduced, permitting the
ridei- to be attached to the bill, and thus,
under the machination of those in control of
the House, was passed. The provision, having
been agreed to by the Senate, has by this time
been referred to the Prsident for his signa-
ture. The following protest was then lodged,
in the hope that it may have the desired ef-
fect upon him :
Headquarters, American Federation of Labor,
Washington, 1). ('.. February in. 1906.
lion. Theodore Roosevelt.
President of the United States,
Washington, 1>. C.
Sir: Shortly there will be placed before you
for your consideration the hill commonly
known as The Urgent Deficiency Bill. The
bill has been amended in the Senate and will
go to conference. There is one provision of
the bill, however, which has passed both the
House and the Senate, hence will he placed be-
fore yon as part of the bill. It is found in
the following Language :
The provisions of the act entitled •"An act
relating to the limitations of the hours of daily
service of laborers and mechanics employed
upon the public works of the United States and
of the District of Columbia."' approved Aug-
ust 1. 1892, shall not apply to alien laborers
employed in the construction of the Isthmian
Canal within the Canal zone.
Four attention is respectfully called to the
fact that in this most unusual fashion, that
is. as a rider to the Appropriation Bill, a prin-
ciple that has been enunciated by the Federal
Government since 1868, by joint resolution,
by proclamations of the Presidents of the
United States, by enactment into law. is pro-
posed to be swept aside, without hearing of
the parties particularly in interest, and at
whose instance the first and continued action
of the Government was taken.
Person desiring these changes over princi-
ple and fundamental law have suggested and
urged its enactment while those who stand for
the present law. and who have thus far vainly
asked for its extension have 1 n given no
opportunity fur hearing, remonstrance, or
protest.
The working people of our country recog-
nize that our Government is committed to a
law undertaking the construction of the Pan-
ama, Canal, connecting the Atlantic and Pa-
cific oceans; that it is one id' the most im-
portant public works ever assumed by any
nation: that it is designed to be American in
ownership and control, and should, so far as
possihle. he American also in construction.
Early last year your attention was respect-
fully called to the fact that, there are num-
berless working people in the United States
and its possessions adapted in every way to
the class of work necessary in constructing the
canal, and suggested that our people be em-
ployed thereon.
With others associated with me I have tried
to be helpful i<» the Government and the of-
ficers in charge, so that no unnecessary im-
pediment will he placed in their path in the
performance of their work.
As you know efforts were made by some in
charge of the canal construction work to rule
that the eight hour law does not apply to the
Work of the Panama Canal construction; that
the attorney-general has given an opinion
contrary to that contention. The eight hour
law applies thereto, and to overcome which
Congress has passed upon the provisions <»f
the bill declaring that the provisions of the
eight hour law shall not apply "to alien labor-
ers employed in the construction of the Isthmi-
an Canal within the canal zone. "
It is submitted to you that it is a miscon-
ception for any one to claim that the applica-
tion of a longer work-day than eighl hours
in a torrid zone can either be wise, economic,
or humane. When the Federal Government;
by resolution and law. placed the eighl hour
law upon the statute hooks, it declared a fun-
damental, economic principle, as well as enact-
ed a statute, and surely if an eight hour work-
day was deemed wise and economic in the
comparatively temperate climate of the Unit-
ed States, it must appeal with greater force-
that it is essential that a Longer work-day
should not apply iu a territory under a burn-
ing sun and in a miasmatic atmosphere.
It is urged that, inasmuch as the provision
referred to applies to alien laborers, that.
therefore, Americans need not concern them-
selves. That, however, can have no place in
our consideration, for in truth then the present
eight hour law should not apply to alien La-
borers who are now employed by the Govern-
ment or on work performed lor the Govern-
ment of the United States.
All who are acquainted with the enervation
and enervating influences of torrid climates
upon workmen realize that they do not and
can not possess the energy and activity id'
workmen in moderate or temperate climates,
and surely because men are physically weaker
and are made weaker by reason of climatic
conditions can not be argued in favor id' their
being required or permitted to toil longer than
eighl hours iu a day. To enact into law a
provision applying to alien workmen that is
deemed wise and inhuman for Americans, is
an exhibition of total disregard of human life.
It has been wisely said: "That if you want
1o eet the most work out of a man in the
shortesl possible time you may work him 'J t
hours a day. If you want to gel the very
lust work out of a man, then he should not hi'
required or permitted t" work more than eighl
hours in a day.'" To say thai men. any sort
of men. can do more work and better work
in more than eight bonis a day than they can
iimler an eighl hour work-day is to flagrantly
flj in the face of every industrial experience.
In view of the foregoing, as well as fur-
ther information which can he given should
you desire it, and on behalf of American la-
bor, I respectfully protest against the provi-
sion referred to being enacted into law, and
urge that you may see the propriety <>f with-
holding your approval of the bill with the
objectionable provision contained therein.
Verj respectfully yours.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.
Recent Developments of the System,
New Zealand Seamen Dissatisfied with Award.
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION is not a particu-
larly pressing issue in the United States at the
present moment. That subject has been up for
liseussion at various times in the recent past, and upon
ai-h occasion has been downed emphatically and, so far
is immediate results are concerned, effectually. Just
t present the interests concerned in the effort to place
abor under some sort of duress are content to abide
he prospects afforded by the scheme to legalize "Gov-
rnment by Injunction."
However, compulsory arbitration is ' ' not dead, but
leeping. " That institution is still very much alive in
he country of its origin — the "country without
frikes" — to wit, New Zealand. Recent developments
n that country and other parts of Australasia justify
ecurrence to the subject at this time, in order that
rade-unionists and other interested persons in the
'nited States may be fully informed as to the progress
if events.
Some months ago the Journal printed the address
f Fraternal Delegate Mosses to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor, in which reference was
nade to the complaints of certain labor organizations
n West Australia, concerning the workings of compul-
'iv arbitration in that Colony. Brother Mosses took
he position that these complaints constituted an offset
o the favorable reports emanating from New Zea-
:ind and justified the trade-unionists of Great Britain
n their opposition to compulsory arbitration. As a
esult of that publication the Journal is in receipt of
iommunication, which is herewith reproduced, as
ollows :
Department of Labor,
Wellington, N. Z., Feb. 14, 1906.
Editor Coast Seamen's Journal — In your issue of
Quary :;, L906, you print a speech delivered by Fra-
ernal Delegate Mosses to the American Federation of
.labor. It is not for me to criticise any portion of
hat addnss except that which touches on the Colon
f which I have the honor to be a citizen. I have a
igh respect for the powerful body to which the ad-
ress was delivered, but that very respect prevents me
lorn fjuietly and without denial accepting reports
lade to them by visitors whose information is (to
ut it very mildly) misleading. Delegate Mosses,
Idle carefully reading aloud the words of a letter
•om some person hostile to the Arbitration Act in
Vestern Australia, was good enough to say that this
nknown person's opinion was "a very satisfactory
H'si't to the experience gained in New Zealand."
We, sir, in New Zealand, after eleven years' prac-
ca] experience of the working of the Act, would cer-
linly never consider the opinion of a nameless indi-
idual as an offset to the enormous gain the Act has
chieved for us. Wages have been raised, hours of
oris shortened, overtime rates fixed for everything
bove an eight hour day, paymenl for statutory lioli
ays insured, lost time traveling to work, etc., iir-
inged to lie paid for, strike ami lock out no longei
lining trade and the homes of workmen, and, lastly,
very high point of general prosperity reached.
Whether Americans adopt "compulsory arbitration
not, let the issue be set plainly before them. Dele
te Mosses did not state the case fairly; he either
id not know or did not disclose the fact's. He said:
The New Zealand Arbitration Courts so far have
1I3 dealt with one industry the building industry."
So far is this statement from the truth that every
trade in the Colony has been before the Arbitration
Court. I send herewith the last volume (Vol. V) of the
Awards of the Court and you will see therein that
miners, tramway employes, tailors, tailoresses, sugar-
workers, engineers, cooks and stewards, saddlers, meat-
workers, printers, hairdressers, etc., have all had cases
before the Court, and such trades can hardly be con-
sidered as included in the "building industry."
It is such statements as that of Delegate Mosses
which make one believe that the workers of America
would be glad to accept industrial arbitration if their
leaders did not blind them through fear of losing per-
sonal power. I have left off trying to convince Eng-
lishmen— there is no material to work on ; but 1 do not
wish Americans to be led away by silly misstatements,
especially if these misstatements concern a Colony
which is not nearly so stupid in adopting industrial
arbitration as the enemies of the principle would make
it appear.
Edward Tregear,
Secretary for Labor.
The Journal's correspondent, by reas.on of his
well-known devotion to the interests of labor, no less
than by virtue of his high official standing in New-
Zealand, is entitled to every respect. It may be that
Brother Mosses laid himself open to criticism in offer-
ing the opinion of an "unknown person" as an offset
to the official reports referred to by Secretary Tregear.
It is to be noted, however, that the letter quoted by
Brother Mosses was not in reality anonymous. That
document formed part of the Boilermakers ' and Ship-
builders' Report, so that its authorship, if not its au-
thenticity, may be safely vouched for. This, of course,
is a mere matter of detail.
As to the facts, this much remains to be said. The
reports of the New Zealand Department of Labor are
voluminous and contain a great mass of data concern-
ing the awards made under the Industrial Conciliation
and Arbitration Act. It is doubtless true, as Secre-
tary Tregear says, that these awards include a great
variety of industries. It may also be true that in
many instances the awards have conferred substantial
benefit upon certain classes of workers, ami at com-
paratively small cost to either party involved.
All this may be freely conceded, in the absence of
proof to the contrary. So long as the workers affected
do not, themselves object, it may be presumed, for the
sake of argument at least, that they are satisfied. To
the extent that, these workers permil the official reports
to speak for them, Secretary Tregear is justified in
offering the reports as evidence in defense of the com
pulsory arbitration system against the critics of that
system.
It is rather remarkable, however, thai so far as the
workers have spoken lm I leuiselv es, the showing is de-
cidedly different from that made by the official reports.
Simultaneously with the receipt of Secretary Tregear 'b
letter fche JOUBNAL received from Mr. William Helchor,
Secretary of the X'u Zeal I branch of the Austra
la.sian Federated Seamen's Union, a copy of the award
rendered by the Arbitration Court at Dunedin on Feb
ruary 14. The Union made a request tor an Increase of
wages and other improvements, Which request was de-
nied. The award is printed with a mourning border,
the reasons for this manifestation of sorrow being self
evident, as stated by Secretary I'.olcher in the follow-
ing words :
For reasons which will be apparent, we have put the
Award in mourning. It is also somewhat appropriate
that it should come into operation on the 1st of April
next, a day set out in the calendar as "All Fool's
Day. ' '
In the main the Seamen's proposal called for an in-
crease of wages from £6 10s. to £7 per month for able-
seamen, from £8 10s. to £9 per month for firemen, and
a similar increase for other classes of labor. Jt was
also proposed to increase overtime pay from Is. 3d. to
Is. 6d. in certain instances and proportionately in
other cases. Other improvements, such as half-holiday
for firemen, preference to unionists, etc., were asked.
The award of the Arbitration Court rejects these pro-
posals, rules for the maintenance of existing condi-
tions and makes the award binding for two years,
ending April 1, 1908.
In stating its reasons for the award the Court said:
In the main the award repeats the provisions of the
last award made between the same parties. The chief
alterations asked for by the Union were an increase of
10s. per month in the wages and an increase of (id. per
hour in the overtime rate and the granting of prefer-
ence to members of the Union.
The majority of the Court does not think that any
substantially different circumstances are shown to have
arisen since the last award justifying an increase of
wages. Evidence was given as to the prosperous con-
dition of the Union Steam Ship Company, the chief
employer in this Colony. Such evidence is usually ad-
mitted by the Court as part of the general inquiry, but
the Court does not settle the wages on a profit sharing
basis, as that might in many industries involve the
necessity of fixing a differential rate as between em
ployers, and would certainly lead to confusion.
As to preference, the majority of the Court thinks
that the matter stands on the same footing as on the
former occasions when it was asked for and refused,
and does not see grounds for departing from those de-
cisions.
Mr. Slater, the employes' representative on the
Court, dissented from his two colleagues, stating his
reasons, as follows :
(1) I think the wages should have been increased
10s. per month. Considering the nature of the sea
man's occupation, he is not paid anything like equal to
shore labor hour for hour, anil the increase would only
have meant 4d. per day. The uncertainty of the effect
of the Federal tariff has been removed since the lasl
award was made.
(2) I think that clause 19 should have been made
to apply to all boats on the New Zealand coast, these
boats being generally at sea all night and working in
port all day.
(I!) Some relief should in my Opinion have been
given fo firemen ill regard to the Saturday half-holiday,
as the evidence of boi if the engineers shows that it
could be ej\en in one instances
(4) I Consider that g good case has I n made for
preference to unionists, over ninetj five pel cent of the
men employed being members of the Union j and I do
not ihink anything has been advanced to show that it
would interfere with the discipline on board ship.
(5) I object to the terms of the award, as I Ihink
one year would have h< en lone, enough, seeing thai the
award runs on if no action is taken by either side to
alter it.
As might be expected, Un Seamen's Union is ■!
much dissatisfied with the award. Secretarj Belch
writing to 'he Otago Daily Times, in reply to an edi
torial i.i thai paper, indorsing thi' award, expresses
himself vigorously, as follows:
All that the Seamen have said in Connection " 1 1 h
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
the matter is thai it would hr the acme of stripidity
to waste further time or monej paltering with an .\r
bitration Court which pays do attention whatever to
the evidence brought before it. The Union has a jus-
tifiable right t«i come to thai conclusion if it thinks
proper. And the opinion of the Union is every whit as
valuable as your own — perhaps more so, for obvious
reasons. So far the Union necessarily can't be in a
position tn say what shape its future actions are likely
to take. This is a matter which can only in' settled
after months of correspondence and negotiations. * * *
[n brief, the Union merely says it won 't be bothered
any more with so-called arbitration; ami who can
blame them? Outside of yourself, who never yet had a
good word for Unions or workers, everybody is amazed
at the Court's decision. Even the employers them-
selves are astonished at the lop-sided decision, for even
they expected that the concession of the "foreiin.in
watch below" WOllld have been granted to the men
engaged in the Kast and West Coasl trades, where it
was proved the men worked from twelve to twenty
hours per day.
Writing to the Dunedin Evening Star, Secretary
I'.elcher further presents the Seamen's views, in the fol
lowing ltingn,. _
'•Or what man is there of you whom, if his son ask
bread, will he give him a stonef "
The above quotation may be literally applied to the
case just conclude. I. ami aptly and concisely sums up
the decision of the Arbitration Court. To designate
the decision as a judgment would be a travesty on the
word, unless We look at it from the point of view that
Hie results are a judgment on the Seamen's Union for
having the temerity to believe there was a possibility
of securing some reforms from the Arbitration ('unit.
We are now convinced by years of experience that, for
the Seamen, at any rate, there is no hope of improve-
ment with the Court, constituted as it is at present,
and it would be futile to trouble the Court any further
for reforms. To do so would simply be a waste of time,
money, and energy. These remarks emanate from one
who heard the dispute conducted by Mr. Voting at Wel-
lington, and on whom devolved the duty of conducting
the case for the Seamen at Auckland and Dunoditi.
'I'he writer has hitherto been under the impression that
the Arbitration Court was a tribunal entirely unfet-
tered by precedents, and decided all cases on the weight
and value of the evidence adduced on either side.
Hut, alas! this is another illusion which lias been dis-
pelled by recent events. * * «
To bring further disputes before a Court constituted
as the Arbitration Court is at present is, as I have al
ready said, wholly futile. The inattention, too, paid
to the proceedings by one member of the Court was
most noticeable. A person holding a high judicial
position on a Court vested with powers superior to any
other tribunal in the world should at least be able to
refrain from sleeping during Court hours. 'I'he sittings
of the Court only occupy about live hours a day, yet
we have the spectacle ,,f one of them sleeping while
evidence is being given where it was proved beyond
refutation thai deckhands were worked anything be-
tween twelve and twenty hours per day. If the som-
nolent member id' the Court gets weary with less than
live hours' work, he surely could have shown soim m-
passion for those who work eighteen and a half hours
a day and get the munificent sum of Gd. in the shape
of overtime. The hours worked by the deckhands are
outrageously long; they are a menace to health ami the
safety of the lives of those on board. But thai is a
mere' bagatelle. The marine superintendent of the
Union Company stated that eighteen and a half hours'
work a day was not too long for a sailor who could, in
some corner, get as much rest out. of one hour's sleep
as a shore person would with a comfortable eight hours
in bed. This may have been a compliment to the
sailors' power of endurance, but the public generally
will look upon it as tin inhumane sentiment, and also
gather from the remark the estimation in which the
persons who make their profits are held by those in au-
thority. And these hard-driven men are expected to be
heroes' in time of disaster and shipwreck. They get lots
of encouragement to distinguish themselves in the
hero line of business. The "white slaves" of Eng-
land have bad some prominence, but the history of the
"white slaves" on some of the New Zealand Steamers
would make equally interesting reading. The evidence
brought by the Onion Company to try to disprove my
statements regarding the crews' accommodation also
discloses the fact that my strictures were true, .ami that
dollars and the earning power of space are always con-
sidered before flesh and blood. I reiterate that in
many instances the accommodation is disgraceful, and
that time to clean some of the men's quarters is given
with great reluctance. * * *
Referring to the award generally, the position is
this: The Seamen have not gained one single conces
sion. <)n the contrary, the Court have imposed further
work on the poor fellows who now work eighteen hours
a day, and deprived them of an overtime payment
which they have hitherto been in receipt of. Ami this
award has been made in spite of the tact that the
evidence has proved the shipowners to be in tin excep-
tionally prosperous condition. They tire paying good
dividends, tire constantly adding huge and costly \ es
sels to their fleets- all paid for. on the evidence of Mr.
lloldsworth. out of profits and earnings. Little wonder
that the people of New Zealand and Australia are com-
mencing to kick against the operations of a Shipping
King which holds the producer and traveling public in
a grip of Steel.
The seamen of New Zealand have every reason to be
dissat istied with the Court's decision. The shipowners
have won a victory not altogether unblemished, 'i'he
...bis the Union had to contend against have 1 n
enormous— the mighty shipowner and all the other in-
fluences that money ami prestige can command. The
fight has been unequal, and the power of the "almighty
dollar" has again prevailed, I always believed that
truth, right, .and justice must prevail, but my faith in
these virtues has been rudely shaken— so much so that
my energies in future will be directed against arbitra-
tion which ignores truth and justice and throws its
weight into the scale against the worker. All con-
sideration has been shown the shareholder who merely
risks his money in a Commercial venture, and the man
who risks his life to make dividends for the capitalist
litis been contemptuously ignored. I am satisfied thai
had the ease just decided gone before any jury in the
world the seamen of New Zealand would have won their
case hands down. If this is the treatment to be meted
out to the men engaged in one of the hardest and most
dangerous occupations on earth, the sooner they look
around for a more effective method of securing justice
the better it will be for themselves.
It will be recalled by those wh.. are familiar with
the labor history of the Antipodes, that the Compul
so ry Arbitration laws now in operation in that pari of
the world had their inception in the great maritime
strike of 1890. These laws were designed to prevent
a recurrenci of such disturbances. That that object
has been attained may be admitted, but that the result
litis been beneficial to the workers may be seriously
questioned in view of the experience of the Seamen's
Union in the present instance. At any rate, the opin-
i f the latter is in no donbt. The Seamen's Union
now believes that the time has arrived to look around
for a "more effective method of securing justice."
After all, the award in the Seamen's case may be no
charge against the Arbitration law, which was de-
signed, not to secure justice, but to "prevent strikes"!
Secretary Belcher's views indicate that dissatisfac-
tion with the Arbitration Court is by no means con-
fined to the Seamen and otlu-r litigants, but is shared by
labor in general, and indeed by the public at large.
\t any rate, complaints from other sources are not
Uncommon and are becoming more and more frequent.
A recent instance occurring in Sydney, N. S. W., may
be cited. Iii this case the Wharf Laborers' Union had
asked for tin increase of wages. The award of the
Arbitration Court, which was against the Union, is
commented upon by the Waterside Workers' Gazette,
official organ of the Union, as follows:
Last month (October, 1905), in dealing with the
N. s. w. Arbitration Court's award in the claim made
by the Sydney Wharf Laborers' Union, we ventured
mildly to assert that it would cause widespread dis-
satisfaction in till directions. Our experience since the
award came into operation has more than confirmed us
in this view. There is perhaps not a Union member in
the city whose earnings have been unproved by the
Court's award, and it is very certain that most men's
earnings have been seriously reduced by it. Indeed,
any benefits which may accrue from the Arbitration
Court's decision have been derived by constantly em-
ployed men who are non-unionists, who were not pre-
viously dissatisfied with their lot. and who had made
no application to the Court for tin improvement of
their conditions. The net result of the appeal there-
fore is as follows: Those who asked for bettered con-
ditions have had them worsened. Those (men outside
the Union) who were previously satisfied with their
conditions have had them bettered. This is so far from
being one of the "good awards'' in Arbitration prom
isc.i to us that the result of the Wharf Laborers' ap-
peal can only be regarded as supremely ridiculous and
manifestly unfair. * * *
The men are infinitely worse off than before going to
Court, and the daily press and the employers seem in-
clined to drive them into that Open revolt, against
which the Union has firmly set its face.
The foregoing reference to the efforts of the press
and employers to drive the Wharf Laborers into "open
revolt (i. e., a strike), against which the Union litis
firmly set its face," is significant. The members of
the Union, although greatly dissatisfied with the
award, felt that they must continue at work under the
terms imposed. In other words, they felt themselves
subject to a more or less drastic form of involuntary
servitude. On this point the views expressed by the
Sydney Bulletin, a paper of large circulation through-
out Australasia, and one which assumes to be devoted
to the interests of labor, are interesting. That paper,
speaking of the possibility of a strike against the
award, and titter declaring that "the whole purpose of
Arbitration is to promote industrial peace, ami to pre-
vent strikes, or anything that even coiortil.lv resembles
strikes, ' ' says:
Sydney wharf laborers nearly fell into the trap laid
for them, but not quite. With the object of showing
how Arbitration had failed again, numerous papers
and people did all they knew to lead the men to strike,
virtually against tin award of the Arbitration Court.
It was a cunningly-worked conspiracy. Day by day
the men lead the most definite statements that a ma-
jority of them had decided not to go to work; their ob-
jections to the award were dwelt upon; and objections
that they had never thought of were put into their
heads. If the mischief-makers had been really anxious
to prevent the strike that they professed to regard as
such a serious matter, their course was clear enough.
They would have argued the men out of any objections
they had, and pointed out the far-reaching consequences
of anything in the nature of a refusal to accept the
Court's award. Hut they wanted a strike, just as the
Same sort of hypocrites, during other strikes, and while
shrieking for "law and order," have deliberately
fomented lawlessness ami disorder so as to turn p blic
sympathy against the men. Those tactics have suc-
ceeded in other cases, .and they nearly succeeded in
this one. Eor a few hours the wharf laborers, gulled
into believing that the members had decided individu-
ally not to offer themselves for work, held back. Then
they reflected that their union had sancti td nothing
of the sort, so they resumed work, and on Tuesday —
the day after all the trouble was to occur, according to
the cunning newspaper reports of a week previously -
"wharf laborers did nothing to hamper the steamship
owners" (Sydney Telegraph report). The conspiracy
to foment a strike, and supply the reactionaries with
another stick to be.it Arbitration with, had duffered
out. Hut. not to be quite cheated out of the victory
tor which they had plotted, the enemies of Arbitration
say— "Well, anyhow, the incident shows arbitration
doesn 't prevent strikes. " It shows nothing of the sort
Granted that some individual men have less respect for
an award of the Court than they should have (though
on the word of Maoriland Arbitration Judges em-
p lovers far more frequently seek to evade awards' than
employes), the fact still remains that the registered
union must obey the award. Strikes are illegal
AND A UNION DAEE NOT ISSUE STRIKE-PAY. ITS WHOLE
KINDS MIST BE MAINTAINED WITHIN THE STATE AND
WITHIN THE POWER (IF STATE LAW, AND THIS IS TBI
OUARANTEE THAT NO STRIKE PAY WILL BE ISSUED. TlIK
DISAFFECTED INDIVIDUAL MAY "STRIKE", BUT HE (AN
GET NO STRIKE PAY; AND A REAL STRIKE WITHOUT
STRIKE PAY IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE. EVEN A Majority
OF THE MEN MAY ABSTAIN FROM WORK FOR A FEW DAYS;
BUT THERE CAN BE NO ORGANIZED STOPPAGE. ARBITRA-
TION DOES PREVENT STRIKES, THEN. It EVEN PREVENTS
THEM IN THE TEETH OF WIDESPREAD CONSPIRACIES TO
KEEP IT FROM DOING ITS NATURAL WORK.
Here we have a very explicit statement of the pur-
pose and operation of compulsory arbitration. It is
certainly a beautiful system — for certain purposes!
As we have before said, compulsory arbitration is
"Government by Injunction" carried to its logirtd
conclusion.
The instances here cited do not complete the list of
complaints against that system. All students of the
subject tire familiar with the experience of the Austra-
lian Workers' (Shearers') Union, which body was de-
feated in a strike for higher wages and practically
disrupted by the formation, under the New South
Wales Arbitration Act, of a bogus union of shearers,
composed of scabs and financed by the employers. The
bogus union went into the Arbitration Court with a
request for a certain wage-scale, which happened (f)
to be precisely the wages which the employers were
willing to pay and which the bona fide union was strik-
ing against. The award was made, with the result
that the Australian Workers' Union, one of the oldest
and strongest labor organizations in the country, was
forced to accept the employers' terms. Secretary
Maclonnell, of the Union, in reporting to his organisa-
tion the result of the award, declared that the Arbi-
tration law, from which they had expected peace, had
brought them nothing but trouble. Afterward, when
tin appeal was made to the registrar under the Arbi-
tration Act for cancellation of the registration of the
bogus union, the Court ruled that inasmuch as the
main purpose of the Act was to prevent strikes, or to
suppress these after they had occurred, tiny organiza-
tion the formation of which serves that end, must he
regarded as a bona fide union within the meaning of
the Act!
The opponents of compulsory arbitration arc not
entirely dependent upon the word of the "unknown
person" in West Australia for evidence constituting a
satisfactory offset to the successes of that system in
New Zealand. Indeed, a good deal of evidence of flu'
sort comes from \ew Zealand itself.
In its study of the question the Journal has all
tilong been actuated by a desire to get at the truth.
Unlike the old woman who found a great many bad
words in Dr. Johnson's dictionary, this paper has not
been "looking for them" — that is, for evidence against
compulsory arbitration. We have been looking for the
actual facts. We repeat that, whatever satisfaction
may be felt by the labor organizations in the matter
of the awards rendered under compulsory arbitration,
so far as we have learned all the unions that have
expressed themselves publicly on the subject lite
pressed dissatisfaction with that system. Can it be
that this fact is due entirely or in any material
to the common disposition of mankind to accept tin'
g I thing as a matter of course, and without even a
"thank you," while complaining loudly against the
bad thing? Are the facts a mere matter of coinci-
dence.' We think they are not.
Secretary Tregear will hardly be surprised if here-
after he shall be forced to admit t lint tin1 "material to
work on" for the purpose of effecting a general
t i. .11 of compulsory arbitration, which material, we take
it. consists in a simple faith in the justice and infal-
libility of governments, is just as scarce among
Americans as among Englishmen.
The report of tin' commissioners appointed by the
British Columbia authorities to inquire into the Va-
lencia disaster was delivered on March 20. The re-
port found that Captain Johnson was blamable in set
having located his position by the Umatilla Reef light-
ship before attempting to enter the Straits, ami held
him guilty of grave error of judgment also in not
having made due allowance for the northward
the current, well known to Coast navigators. Censure
was passed upon the lack of discipline prevailing
the wreck as well as the broken cork and tide life-
preservers, ami the inefficiency of the drill.

Ship Subsidies.
Miscellaneous.
Few measures now pending in Congress are
being so unmercifully knocked and ridiculed
by the independent press as the Ship Subsidy
bill. The following from the Wilmington
(Del.) Every Evening is typical of the senti-
ments expressed by the majority:
When steel plates manufactured in this country are
delivered in Belfast $10 a ton cheaper than any ship-
yard in this country can obtain them for, the question
that meets the subsidy seeker is: Will it not be better
to bring about a reduction in the cost of shipbuilding
materials than to attempt to force the business by sub-
sidies from the National Treasury?
To quote the New York Herald on the sub-
ject: "That sort of question is not so pretty
as rhetoric about 'the flag on the sea,' but it
is decidedly more to the point." However,
rhetoric is cheap, and goes a long way with
those who are too busy, or too indolent, to
look into the merits of a case; and for that
reason rhetoric will probably win out in the
end against argument in the fight for Ship
Subsidies. Money talks, and as the billion dol-
lar Steel Trust is behind the Ship Subsidy
measure it goes without saying that if money
can turn the trick it will be turned. It is the
knowledge of their strength in this particular
which, no doubt, makes the promoters of that
measure so indifferent to the requests of the
seamen of the country that their interests, in
so far as these are bound up with Ship Subsi-
dies, be considered from their own standpoint,
rather than from the standpoints of the Steel
Trust and the Government. As their interests
are now provided for by the Ship Subsidy
bill, the seamen are very much in the position
of that part of a bargain which comes under
the head of being thrown in for good measure,
a sort of sop offered by the Steel Trust to the
Government Cerberus watching the entrance
to the National Treasury. That the seamen of
the country are resentful at being compelled,
nolens volens, to play this humiliating role in
the copyrighted trust drama, "Subsidy Grab-
bing," is hardly to be wondered at, but
against the combination of the Steel Trust and
the Government they have a hard row to hoe.
When our reverend friends in the pulpit
seek, like President Eliot, of Harvard, and
other laymen of his peculiar persuasion, to
prove that trade-unions are indeed very sin-
ful institutions, they stand at any rate on the
unassailable ground that trade-unions, being
human institutions under human guidance,
must necessarily, both in their organic struc-
ture and in their methods, be afflicted with
many of the weaknesses and shortcomings of
our common humanity. But, when these
learned gentlemen attempt to prove, as Arch-
bishop Keane recently attempted, that "the
principles of trade-unionism are against
Christian doctrines," then surely the reductio
ad absurdum is reached. On the other hand,
it is a comparatively easy matter to prove that
the "Christian doctrines" taught — and prac-
ticed— by the average, sleek, unctuous, well-
fed, high-salaried, clerical gentlemen of to-
day, are even further from the teachings of
the Founder of Christianity than is our brand
of Democracy from the Democracy preached
by the founders of this Republic — which is
saying a good deal, as we all know to our
sorrow.
The Seamen's Church Institute has pur-
chased, at a cost of $200,000, a plot of land at
the northeast corner of Coenties Slip and
South street, New York. On this plot the In-
stitute will erect, at an estimated cost of
$350,000, a "Sailors' Home," modeled after
the Seamen's Palace in London. The specifi-
cations provide for a ten-story building capa-
ble of accommodating not less than three hun-
dred seamen, and, as now planned, the space
will be divided as follows: Free shipping of-
fice; club-room, with games, newspapers, and
other reading matter, as well as stationery and
conveniences for writing and receiving letters :
department where seamen can deposit their
wages, either for safekeeping or for transmis-
sion to their families or friends ; large hall for
lectures, entertainments, religious services,
etc. ; rooms for three hundred seamen, each
man to be provided with a separate bedroom ;
clubroom and sleeping apartments for masters
and mates ; navigation school ; first aid to the
injured clinic; restaurant; gymnasium; li-
brary.
An order to show cause why an injunction
should not be granted against the Mason
Builders' Association and the Bricklayers' Un-
ions of New York City, restraining them from
continuing an alleged conspiracy against the
National Fire Proofing Company, has been
obtained from Judge Lacombe, of the United
States Circuit Court (N. Y.). The Fire
Proofing Company alleges that a conspiracy
exists between the two aforesaid organi-
zations to prevent it from doing business in
New York. By reason of the conspiracy re-
ferred to in the complaint, it is alleged that
the moment the plaintiff attempts to install its
own material a strike is declared on the build-
ing by the defendants, not for any grievance
against the plaintiff, but because the builder
has sublet bis fire-proofing contract.
Ray Stannard Baker has one of his char-
acteristic "labor problem" stories in Collier's
"Weekly of February 24, which he concludes
as follows :
This, indeed, is the problem of the century: Where
shall we set limit upon the individual, and where admit
the power of collective action? And can we in any
sphere of life possess to ourselves the good of either
vrithput the evil?
What is the matter with the good, old-fash-
ioned "happy medium," as practiced by every
liberal, up-to-date trade-union — conserving the
rights and liberties of the individual by
I he power of collective action? This power,
when exercised by a body of intelligent men,
can always be trusted not to trample on the
rights of the minority.
The organized longshoremen of Boston,
Mass., have secured an all-round increase in
wages of 5 cents an hour. This makes their
pay 35 cents an hour for day work, 45 cents
an hour for night work up to midnight, and
50 cents an hour from midnight to 5 a. in.
A hill to limit employment upon public

Where ignorance dwells conceit loves to
tarry.
The mind which habitually indulges in
great expectations is usually the kind which
first breaks down under the strain of great
disappointments.
The passage of the Pure Food hill by the
Senate after more than fifteen years of de-
bate and agitation on the subject suggests
that the law's delays are not in a class by

The refusal of Congress to adjourn on
Washington's birthday is about the most
significant commentary made in years on the
estimation in which the political institutions
bequeathed to us by the "Father of his Coun-
try" are held by the statesmen of this gen-
eration.
Fellow-workingmen, when times are hard
and wages low, and the landlord and grocer
and butcher won't trust you any longer, just
console yourselves with the thought that such
wise men as Andrew Carnegie and President
Eliot of Harvard are firm believers in— and
preachers of— the blessings and moral benefits
of poverty.
The clumsy-looking and ill-fitting brogans
hitherto worn by the seamen of our navy are
to be replaced with up-to-date laced shoes of
the Oxford-Blucher type. This is good news.
for, as the Boston Globe says, "what conduces
to the good appearance and the comfort of
our sailors and soldiers can not but add to
the dignity of the uniform."
Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia is now ac-
cused by those who helped him to smash the
political machine of the other fellows with
building up a machine of his own. There are
apparently as many ways to fool the people
as there are people to be fooled, and we have
it on good authority that "there is a sucker
born every minute."
"Charity, as the word is understood to-
day, is only a bribe of moneyed men to make
a community forget the wrongs heaped up-
on it," says Dr. Emil Hirsch, of Chicago,
"Tainted money" must be greatly in evidence
in that neighborhood, to cause such unchari-
table remarks, which reminds us that the dis-
tribution of the durned stuff is not nearly
equitable enough to satisfy the demands of
all the colleges and churches.
As a, rattler off of pompous platitudes id'
soft sawder President Roosevelt is a Sam Slick
of no mean order. For instance, when he says
that "there is no body id' men which merits
so well of the country as the body of officers
and enlisted men in the army and navy of the
United States," we are reminded that that is
substantially what he has said about every
other body of men in the United States. Di-
luted compliment, like diluted whisky, is the
meanest kind of substitute for the real article,
but with Mr. Roosevelt, it is evidently a ease
of last come, first, served with the blarney.

The British sealing schooner Zillah May, which put
into San Francisco on March 12 to land a sick seaman
named Frank Fuller, went to sea on the 14th to re-
sume her cruise in search of seals and sea-otter along

the crew refused to do duty. Particulars of the
trouble have not been received.
The steamer Massachusetts, under charter to the
American-Hawaiian line, and bringing a large cargo

Transport Company, and has twin screws and other
equipments of a modern freighter.
The heavy weather that prevailed along the Coast
the past week drove many coasting vessels into San
Pedro. Fourteen lumber-laden craft arrived at that
port on March 16, some of them bound for other ports,
but put in on account of the weather. The arrivals
were the Espada, Lunsman, Expansion, Anna E. Shale,

bound for Odlak via Kussiloff, the ship Llewellyn .1.
Morse for Kussiloff and the bark Levi (!. Burgess for
Bcllingham, on the way to the Alaskan canneries.
Fifty or more vessels of all descriptions will be senl
to the canneries from San Francisco within the next,
few weeks.
The barkentine Arago, at San Francisco on March
14 from the northern coast, reported that at a point
fifteen miles northwest of Point Reyes she spoke lie
schooner A. M. Coats, four days from San Pedro tot
Cray's Harbor. The schooner had made exceptionally
fast time, almost to the speed of a coasting steamer,
evidently having taken every advantage of the smith
I erly winds that have been prevailing on the Coast tor
| some days previous.
A lifeboat of the United States Life-Saving station
at Umpqua, Or., was entirely destroyed on February
22. The boat hail taken oil' the crew of the water
logged schooner Sadie, and alter putting them on
board again, when the schooner appeared to lie safe,
was being towed in over the bar by :i tug-boat when
the hawser parted, the boat capsizing and going adrift.
Two days later it went on the beach, a total wreck,
with most of its gear.
It is reported from the northern coast thai Captain
Omar .). Humphrey has purchased the steamers Bertha
and Portland from the Alska Commercial Company,
ami that he will use them in regular trade between
Paget Sound and far northern points. It is also re-
ported that the gasoline schooner Oakland has been
purchased by the Northwestern Steamship Coiupni;
and will be sent to the coast of Siberia for service
there, where the steamship company owns valuable
concessions.
A telegram received at San Francisco on March 'I'l
from Punta Arenas, in the Straits of Magellan, re-
ports that a contract has been awarded to local salvors
to float the ferry sidewheeler Olympian, which recently
left San Francisco in tow of the steamer Xoalandia,
and which went ashore in Possession Pay, in the
Straits, on March 13. The vessel is to be floated for
$17,5110, and if the task cannot be accomplished the
Salvors are to receive nothing, on the ''no cure, no
pay ' ' lias is.
Shipping men on Puget Sound have .joined in an ef-
fort to have the Government place a whistling buoy oil'
Cape Flattery, in the hope that it may prevent an-
other such disaster as the loss of the steamer Valencia.
In the opinion of the best authorities the buoy should
be placed at a point thirteen miles west by north, a
quarter north of Flattery, and evelen miles southeast,
one half east of the wreck of the Valencia. It is be-
lieved that had such a buoy been in position alien the
Valencia crept along the Coast in a dense fog on the
morning of January 23 she would not have gon i
the rocks of Vancouver Island.
A record for fast passages is being made by the
American ship Manga Reva, owned by Captain I. 10.
Thayer of San Francisco. The vessel was formerly the
British ship Pyrennes, and was abandoned at Manga
Reva, in the South Seas, after having taken fire at
sea. She was bought by Captain Thayer, who brought
the ship to San Francisco, after a great deal of
trouble. There was still more trouble experienced be-
fore American registry could be obtained by Act of
Congress, but since that time things have gone along
swimmingly with the Manga Reva. On her first trip
out of port she ran to Honolulu in twelve days, going
thence with a cargo to Philadelphia in 107 days — the
best Cape Horn passage last year by any of the
Honolulu sugar packets — and now the ship makes the
run from Philadelphia to Cavite in 123 days, as re-
ported on March 16. This passage is in great con-
trast to that of the large ship Daylight, now 208 days
out on the trip from New York for Japan.

The details of lite British Aliens Act which
was passed at the last session of Parliament,
and put into effect on January 1, are of inter-
est to the United States. As so many immi-
grants come via England to America, it is be-
lieved that the steamship linos will cull out
more closely the undesirable persons heading
for this country.
The Aliens Act will be administered through
the ITome Office. Thirteen immigration ports
are named, 10 being in England, 1 in Wales,
and 2 in Scotland. As 11 are on the east coast
of the island it is evident Prom what direction
objectionable aliens are expected to arrive. At
all these ports immigration boards have been
established, consisting of from 12 to 30 local
men. Customs officials will serve as port im-
migration officers with a medical officer at each
port. The immigration and medical officers
will inspect aliens, and the local board will
hear appeals from rejected immigrants and
shipowners or officers. No ship bringing 20
alien steerage passengers, or such lesser num-
ber as may be fixed from time to time by the
bottie secretary, will be allowed to land them
except at a port where there is an immigration
officer on special leave siren by him. All but
first-class passengers will be examined by an
immigration and a medical officer.
An immigrant may be rejected as undesir-
able if—
1. He caii not show that In- litis in his
possession, or can obtain, the means of decent-
ly supporting himself and his dependents;
2. He is a lunatic or an idiot, or, owing to
disease or infirmity, appears likely to become
a, charge upon or otherwise a detriment to the
public ;
3. He hits been sentenced in a foreign
country for an extraditable crime.
To permit his entry into this country, an
alien must possess a minimum of 115 ($24.33),
with an additional £2 ($9.73) for each de-
pendent. Hut this provision will not be in-
sisted upon in the case of political and relig-
ious refugees. AVhere leave to land is with-
held, the immigrant will be given a notice of
refusal, setting out the reasons therefor, and
stating that he has a right of appeal. If his
appeal be unsuccessful, the owner of the ship
must retransport him.
Immigrants passing through this country
en route to the United States, and having
through prepaid tickets, will be admitted
without examination, provided that security
be given by the shipping companies concerned
that they will proceed out of (lie United King-
dom, or if rejected by another country will
not re-enter the United Kingdom except for
the purpose of transit. It is believed that one
result of this provision will be greater care by
shipping companies in the selection of immi-
grants for America, The new law is wholly
experimented, but the general public approves
it, expects much from it, and will be sorely
disappointed if it fails to remove some evident
evils due to the tin! rammcled admission of
aliens to Ihis country.
Conditions of labor in Italy are getting
more difficult, with scarcity of workmen, espe-
cially in the textile industry. Wages have
reached a very high point, probably in some
parts not much less than in the United Slates,
making the labor question about the most dif-
ficult one fur the manufacturer. There are
many llalians employed in South Germany,
probably 6,000 altogether. These are import-
ed because it is impossible to gel a. sufficient
supply in Germany.

SEAM FA' AND Sl/BSIDI KS.
When the Ship Subsidy bill was under dis-
cussion in the United Slates Senate, the or-
ganized seamen of the country, being con-
vinced that the terms of that measure are in-
imical to their interests, determined to pro-
test against these terms and to suggest im-
provement therein. With this object the sea-
men's unions affiliated with the International
Seamen's Union of America adopted resolu-
tions and forwarded them to the Senators and
Representatives from their respective local-
ities. A large number of other labor oganiza-
tions supported the seamen's protest by similar
means. These protests have been acknowl-
edged in the usual way — generally by a for-
mal promise of " careful consideration." An
exception to this rule is noted in the reply of
Representative Humphrey, of Washington.
That gentleman, acknowledging receipt of the
resolution adopted by the Tacoma agency of
the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, writes as fol-
lows:
Souse of Representatives,
Washington, March 12, 1906.
II. L. Peterson, Agent,
Tacoma Branch of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific,
Tacoma, Washington.
Dear Sir: — Copy of resolutions passed by your body,
protesting against the passage of Senate liill 529, re-
ceived. 1 am very much disappointed and very deeply
regrel your action in this matter. | am satisfied that
yen did not pass these resolutions beC&USe you had
studied the Mil, but that you did it simply because
you wore asked to do so for some one else.
Senate bill 529 is. as you know, the bill prepare. I by
the Merchant Marine Commissi. m, which was appointed
in accordance with an Act of Congress, following the
recommendation of President Roosevelt. As you also
know, T was a member of that commission, and this
bill is the result of more than two years of hard work
on behalf of the commission, and for you to ask me
new to vote against this bill is t'o ask mc to stultify
myself.
The statements made in the different paragraphs of
the resolution are, most of them, incorrect. It states:
"Whereas, said bill, if enacted into law, will Compel
the seamen to become members of the Naval Reserve
in time of peace." This statement is absolutely ab-
surd. It would no more compel seamen to become
Naval Reserves than the law to-day compels t ho or-
dinary citizen to belong to a Militia company.
In another paragraph you lament the fact that the
bill does not provide for the proper manning of vessels.
Possibly this may be true. But the bill does provide
fOT a Btantly increasing number of seamen each
year.
Now, if your organization will tell me how you are
going to man American ships with American seamen
without having the ship, then I am willing to concede
your demands upon this question. In Other winds,
don't you think that it would be wise to take some
steps toward building a ship before making impossible
ids as to linu it should be manned!
As one member of the House Committee on Merchant
Marine, I have always been anxious, and am now, to
do what T can to better the condition of the American
sailor. But it is a deep disappointment to me, as well
as to many other members of this committee, that
anything that looks toward the upbuilding of American
shipping, has been constantly and energetically op-
posed by the Sailors' Union.
Ever since I have been a member of this committee,
your Union has promptly joined hands with foreign
shipowners to prevent anything being done toward
placing the American flag on the sea.
I trust that hereafter, before your organization
passes resolutions of this character, that you will study
the question that you are asked to resolve about, anil
net simply do the bidding of others. I am satislid
who inspired, if he did not actually write, the inclosed
resolution.
Yours truly,
W. K. BOMPHBEY,
M. C.
Representative Humphrey's letter is pecu-
liar. It begins with an insult and ends with
an insinuation. The gentleman begins by say-
ing, in effect, that the Tacoma agency did do!
know what it was doing; that it acted by re-
quest or under direction of some one else. The
gentleman ends by saying that he knows the
real author of the Tacoma resolution. Of
course, as the gentleman is satisfied to insinu-
ate, instead of naming names, it is impossible
to judge the correctness or otherwise of his
guess. We can only express our satisfaction
that the gentleman is wrong in that regard.
As to Mr. Humphrey's statement that to ask
him to vote against the Ship Subsidy bill is
to ask him to stultify himself, it may be point-
ed out that, notwithstanding his two years'
hard work on the Merchant Marine Co is-
sion, he still has much to learn on the subject
of American shipping. If, upon further in-
formation, a member of that commission should
find that the Ship Subsidy bill is radically
defective, and should therefore vote against
that measure, wherein would lie the stultifica-
tion? By what rule are members of commis-
sions irrevocably bound to vote for commission
bills? If any such rule exists, it must he a
political one, for certainly it can have no basis
in reason.
Mr. Humphrey challenges the correctness of
the statement contained in the resolutions, to
the effect that the Ship Subsidy hill would
compel seamen to join the Naval Reserve.
This statement, we are told, is "absurd." Lei
us see. The bill provides that subsidized
steamers shall carry a certain proportion of
Naval Reserve men in their crews. It follows,
then, that the seaman, in order to secure em-
ployment on these vessels, must be a member
of the Naval Eeserve. The general law does
not compel the ordinary citizen to join the
.Militia. Quite true. But suppose that a given
State were to enact a law subsidizing a certain
industry, with the proviso that such industry
should employ members of the Militia, would
not such law compel the workers in that in-
dustry to join the Militia in order to secure
employment? Obviously. Mr. Humphrey
hasn't thought of this.
The gentleman says that the Ship Subsidy
bill provides for a constantly increasing- num-
ber of seamen each year. We emphatically
deny that statement. The men provided for
by the bill are not seamen, but just men — any
kind of men, or even boys. As the bill now
stands, the subsidized vessels may be, and
doubtless will be, manned, in by far the great-
er part, by men and boys of little or no ex-
perience at sea.
The organized seamen of the United States
may not be able to tell Mr. Humphrey how
to man a ship before the ship is built, but they
know how to man the ships that are already
built. That is. in fact, the main question, the
first question. We certainly do not think it
wise to "take some steps (i. e., by the payment
of subsidies) toward building a ship before
making impossible (!) demands as to how it
should be manned." Experience in the case
of ships already built tells the seamen that un-
less the Ship Subsidy bill is so worded as to
compel the employment of seamen— practical
seamen — said seamen will not be employed
after the ship is built.
When Mr. Humphrey says that "anything
that looks toward the upbuilding of American
shipping has been continually and energetical-
ly opposed by the Sailors' Union," he states
a " fact that ain 't so. " The sum of the Union's
real offending consists in its opposition to all
schemes that "look" but don't mean any-
thing toward the upbuilding of American
shipping. When Mr. Humphrey says that the
Sailors' Union has "promptly joined hands
with foreign shipowners," etc.. he deliberately
falsifies, either wantonly or under the inspira-
tion of the seamen's enemies in and out of
Congress. It is an old trick of the Subsidy
men to charge the opponents of that scheme
with lack of patriotism, with "joining hands''
in the interest of foreign shipowners. The
Subsidy men would have the country belief
that they are the sole repositories of the Na-
tion's interests. Considering the connection in
which the claim of patriotism is now made.
the well-known definition of that term affords
a very justifiable description of the present
claimants.
Concluding these comments upon Mr. Hum-
phrey's letter, we can only say that that effu-
sion is written in extremely had taste and in-
dicates an attitude of mind that is indefensible
on the part of a representative of the people
toward his constituents. These constituents
may be humble; they may constitute but a
small factor in the District, but they arc at
least entitled to a respectful hearing of a peti-
tion respectfully submitted — the more espe-
cially since they are personally and vitally in-
terested in the subject whereof they speak.
By what right does Mr. Humphrey presume
to scold the seamen of Tacoma, to insult them
by a charge of ignorance concerning their own
immediate affairs, and accuse them of acting
unde.' "inspiration"? By what right does
Mr. Humphrey question the bona fides of the
resolution submitted to him by the Tacoma
agency of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific?
Because that resolution is couched in terms
similar to those adopted by the seamen in
other ports? Is it, then, an offense for men
to act and speak in unison? Does the simple
fact that men in different localities express
themselves in the same terms upon a subject in
which all are equally interested imply of ne-
cessity, or even justify the inference, that they
speak without knowledge of their own. and
merely upon the say-so of some one .
Who is Mr. Humphrey, anyway.' Is he
master or servant in his District? If Mr.
Humphrey can't answer these questions, the
people whom he is supposed to represent ought
to make answer for themselves.
Concerning the attitude of the organized
seamen generally toward the Ship Subsidy
bill, a word or two may not be amiss. That
bill is essentially a measure in the interest of
shipowners. Such is the plain fact, notwith-
standing the pretense of benefit to other class
es, made by the proponents of that measure
The seamen are not opposed to the interests oi
the shipowners: on the contrary, they favor
these interests, so far as that can be done with-
out injuring their own. If the Ship Subsidy
bill were frankly advocated as a shipowners
bill, the seamen might he willing to let it pa^s
without protest, notwithstanding their disap-
proval of its principle. But when thai meas-
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
ure includes the seamen themselves, and,
under pretense of benefiting them, im-
poses upon them conditions subversive of
their rights as citizens and injurious to
their interests as seamen — in these cir-
cumstances the seamen feel in duty bound
to protest. Therefore, the seamen do
protest, and will continue to protest as long
as the fraud persists. The conviction that they
are being used by the advocates of the Ship
Subsidy bill as a makeweight to serve the
double purpose of fooling the public into the
belief that the bill will provide seamen for
National defense, and as so many catspaws to
pull the chestnuts ont of the fire (i. e., the
Treasury), increases the obligation of the sea-
men to protest as vigorously as possible.
The organized seamen of the United States,
by reason of their direct personal interest in
Ship Subsidy legislation, have a right to ex-
press themselves according as their knowledge
dictates, which knowledge, by the way, is the
result of many years' acquaintance, both prac-
tical and theoretical, with the subject. What-
ever may be said concerning the seamen's at-
titude in this matter, it is gratifying to know
that that attitude is shared by many of the
ablest men in Congress and in the country at
large.
The question: "Resolved, That the issu-
ance of injunctions by courts in labor disputes
should be prohibited by law, ' ' was debated by
the Humboldt Evening High School and the
Lowell High School, at San Francisco, on the
evening of March 24. The debate, which was
held in the auditorium of the Girls' High
School, attracted a very large audience and
proved a highly instructive treatment of the
important subject. Humboldt, which argued
for the affirmative, was represented by L. N.
Jones, Richard Felchlin and L. Earle Nathan.
Lowell was represented by Miss Edna Owens,
Douglass M. Barrows and Leslie B. Henry.
After a very spirited contest the decision was
awarded the affirmative. The enthusiasm
which greeted the verdict indicated the inter-
est with which the debate had been followed.
The young men. and by no means least, the
young woman, who participated in the de-
bate, are to be congratulated upon the very
able manner in which they handled a difficult
subject. As public interest and information
increases it becomes quite apparent that the
days of "Government by Injunction" are al-
ready numbered, although we may not yet be
able to count them on the fingers of one hand.
Seamen and other interested parties are in-
formed that the office of the United States
Shipping Commissioner at San Francisco has
been removed from the Appraiser's Building
to the building formerly occupied by the Post-
office, on East street, just south of the Ferry
Building.

SHIPOWNERS' LIABILITY.
Judge J. J. De Haven has decided against Victor
Mattson in his suit for damages against the steam-
schooner Fulton. Mattson, while working on the boat,
was seriously injured by the breaking of a rope sling
by which lumber was being hoisted from the Fulton.
It was known that six or eight slings were used on
board of the boat, and that some of them, becoming
worn, were replaced by new ones. The one that broke,
however, was an old one. The Court, in deciding
against Mattson, held that while it was incumbent up-
on the master of a vessel to provide reasonably safe
and fit material for appliances, he was not compelled
to procure the very best obtainable. He held, too, that
it is to a large extent the duty of employes to look out
for the safety of appliances, and that it is not the
duty of the master to look out for matters of mere de-
tail, and that, during the absence of the owner or mas-
ter, the crew should have taken precautionary meas-
ures. Considering that the master of the Fulton had
taken all the precautionary measures required of him,
the action was dismissed. — S. F. Press item.
The foregoing is another evidence of the
one-sided and absurd state of the employers'
liability laws, as applied to shipowners and
seamen. The seaman is bound to obey "all
lawful orders of the master," yet in cases such
as that here alluded to the seaman is told that
it is his duty to "look out for the safety of ap-
pliances. '* These statements — the law and the
judgment — are inconsistent and irreconcilable.
In this connection may be noted the further
inconsistency involved in such cases, by which
the master is classed as a "fellow-servant" of
the seaman. The procedure simply amounts
to this: The master is an employer for all
the purposes of enforcing obedience to his
commands, and a fellow-servant for all the
purposes of evading liability for injuries re-
ceived by the seaman in the course of obey-
ing these commands ! This condition is mani-
festly unjust to the seaman, since it places his
life and limbs completely at the mercy of the
shipmaster, at the same time encouraging the
latter in an attitude of indifference toward the
safety of his crew. Decisions such as that in
the Mattson case, and these are unfortunately
quite common, prove the need of a reform in
the law. The natural and unavoidable risks
of the seaman's calling are too great to per-
mit of additions due to sheer carelessness and
the desire for "quick dispatch."
The Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League, of San Francisco, has completed the
publication of two pamphlets on the subject of
Asiatic immigration. One of these works,
written by Mr. W. K. Roberts, for a number
of years employed in the Chinese Maritime
Customs Service, deals with the origin and
migratory habits of the Chinese, besides con-
taining a large amount of information con-
cerning existing conditions in China and Ja-
pan. Mr. Roberts writes from personal and
official knowledge of his subject, and his trea-
tise will prove of great educational value. The
other publication issued by the League con-
tains a compilation of data on the subject of
"Asiatic Immigration to the United States,
Its Numbers, Characteristics and Effects."
These pamphlets have been issued in large
numbers for circulation throughout the coun-
try. Persons interested in the subject of Asi-
atic Exclusion may secure copies of these
works upon application to Secretary A. E.
Yoell, 927 Market street, San Francisco.
Alaska fishermen should see to it that their

Seamen and Longshoremen.
The meeting bet ween the Dock Managers
;iiid the International Longshoremen Associa-
tion came to an abrupl end on March 14.
The cause, as given out, was the refusal of the
Dock Managers to compel the vessel owners to
recognize the 1. L. A. branch of licensed
pilots. A general strike, to affect all docks
ai both ends of the Line is threatened for
.May 1. The President of the Longshoremen,
a Daniel J. Keefe. of Detroit, .Mich., claims to
be able to tie up the entire industrial system
of the Great Lakes. Be, as I am informed by
one of the committee, told the agents of the
Package-Freighl boats thai he controlled the
entire labor of the Lakes, including the
wheelsmen, watchmen and ordinary-seamen.
Be claims that 1500 licensed pilots belong to
the Licensed Pilots" Protective Association,
of which ('has. A. Bush is the head.
The vesselowners, on their side, claim to
have all the licensed pilots they can use and
that their men are already under contract for
1906. Of the Seamen's branch of the Licensed
Pilots much could be said. Of the justice of
their cause there can be no doubt. Organized
ai 94 Superior street, on December 22, 1904,
they have the first charter. The charter of
the 1. L. A. branch of Pilots was issued on
February 15, 1905. Therefore, according to
the rules of trade-unionism, the latter is a
dual charter. The fact that the American
Federation of Labor has seen fit to recognize
it does not alter the matter. The charter
which they hold from the American Federa-
tion of Labor was obtained through misrepre-
sentation. Therefore the members of the
Lake Seamen's Union, and the Marine Cooks
and Stewards' Union of the Great Lakes, do
not feel under any obligation to assist the In-
ternational Longshoremen's Association in its
fighl for recognition of their branch of the
licensed pilots. Quite the contrary. But the
article published in the Cleveland Leader, of
the 15th inst.. is equally untrue. That article
states, in short, that the Seamen will enter
the fight againsl the Longshoremen. This is
untrue. The Seamen will simply attend to
their own affairs and politely request others
to do the same. The Seamen will have a meet-
ing with the vesselowners before their remarks
aii' printed, and, I hope, will have obtained
contracts for 1906 and have entered another
prosperous and peaceful season. If the Inter-
national Longshoremen's Association ties up
the docks, all right The Seamen will do their
duty to the vessel, but will not interfere in
any way with the perogatives of the Long-
shoremen.
The Seamen can look only to themselves for
the betterment of their conditions. The Sea-
men are in a class by themselves. No man on
shore knows their wants, likes or dislikes.
And no man on shore cares, anyway. You
pay your per capita tax to the American Fed-
eration of Labor; you spend thousands every
year, Bending delegates to the Federation con-
sent ions. Then, when you ask simple justice,
yon get nothing. Therefore we should go our
own way. live our own life and keep out of
nil entanglements with shore organizations.
These remarks arc written in explanation
of the attitude of the Seamen in the threat-
ened strike on the Lakes and in justice to the
atitudc of the Seamen towards the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Association or so-called
"I. L. M. and T. A." J haw received a letter
written and si<med by Mr. ('. M. t'onley, late
General Secretary of the Marine Passenger,
Freight and Steamer Cooks of the Great
Lakes. It will be remembered that Mr. Con-
ley was business-aLrent of the Marine Cooks
and Stewards of the Lakes, that through in-
fluence, specious promises, etc.. he was in-
duced to withdraw from the parent organiza-
tion and start a dual organization of cooks and
stewards, and that, in spite of the fact that
the gentleman from Detroit knew there was
already an organization of marine cooks, the
latter issued a charter to those people and
did everything in his power lo disrupt the
Marine Cooks and Stewards of the Greal
Lakes. Be tried in the spring of 1904 to 'jet
the vesselowners to give his fake organization
of cooks a contract. Be tried again in 1905,
and failing, threw his deluded victims over-
board. This letter written to Mi-. Prank Place,
of Cleveland. Ohio, explains the methods of
the "1. L. M. ami T. A." toward the Cooks
and Stewards and warns the Pilots againsl
allowing themselves to be similarly deceived.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer, of March 18,
in an editorial on the subject of the boycott
by Chinese merchants in China againsl Amer-
ican manufacturers, says: "In Hie last seven
months of 190.5 we sold to China goods to the
value of *28,863,000. an increase of $5,430,000
for the corresponding period of 1904. There
is not the slightest indication that the falling
off of business was due largely, or at all. to
the boycott. Our loss in mineral oils and raw-
cotton was compensated by gains in cotton
manufactures and copper. At all events, our
trade with China has increased in spite of
the boycott." Thus the pet argument of the
pro-Chinese is exploded. That any attention
will be paid to the truth of this article is too
much to expect from such rabid pro-Chinese
as Judge "Wine- and Secretary Taft. By the
way, what influence on the Chinese Exclusion
Acl will Supreme Court Judge Taft have0

Drifting Across the^Poie-
Two of the drift casks which were set loose
in Bering Sea at the instigation of President
Henry G. Bryant, of the Geographical Society
of Philadelphia, and of Admiral George \V.
Melville some years ago have been i- ivered
One of them was found on the const of |,-,..
land, 2,500 mih's from the point where it was
cast overboard on the Alaskan coast. In its
tortuous course it probably traveled 4,008
miles. Its drift across the Arctic ocean proves
once more the existence of an Arctic current
flowing from Bering Sea across the North
Pole region.
Fifty spindle-shaped casks were constructed
from designs submitted by Admiral Melville
and were sent north on United states revenue
cutters and whaling ships to Bering Strait
and there dropped overboard in 1899, 1000
and 1901.
Bach cask was numbered and contained |
message in four languages, request iirir tin
tinder to notify the Geographical Society of
Philadelphia if the cask turned up.
An examination of the first record shows
that it wa.s cast adrift by Captain V, Tuttlc.
of the United States revenue cutter Pear, on
August 21, 1901, about eighty-five mil<SI
northwest, of Wrangel Island, and recovered
by < aptain A. (i. Christianson, on Augusl 17.
1902, near the mouth of Kolyuching Bay. mi
tin' Siberian coast. It is evident that this
particular cask did not gel a good start, and
in one year, less four days, of its drift, the
course it followed of 380 miles to the south-
east was probably influenced by local cur-
rents which exist near Bering Strait.
The other representative of this silent licet
which has been traveling the desolate wastes
of the Arctic seas, had a longer voyage, ami
doubtless a more eventful history. Placed on
the floe ice northwest of Point Barrow,
Alaska, in latitude 71 degrees 53 minutes
north, and longitude 164 degrees 50 minute!
west, by Captain B. T. Tilton, of the steam
whaler Alexander, on September 13, 1899, it
was recovered one mile east of (ape Raudfl
Nupr, on the northern coast of behind, on
June 7. 1905.
More of the casks have come through, hut
have not been found while others, no doubt.
have been found but not reported. There is
no telling how long the cask found on Iceland
drifted about in open water before it was
east ashore. National Geographical Magazine

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Height of Ocean 'Waves.
Every now and then in the winter months
an ocean steamer comes into port with twisted
stanchions or a broken bridge, testifying to
the tremendous force hurled against the ship
by a big wave or two. It is fortunate for the
vessels plying on the greatest commercial
waters that their paths over the sea are far to
the north of the most tremendous waves that
have been recorded.
No such waves are met in any other part of
the oceans as those that form in the southern
seas south of Cape Horn and the Cape of Good
Hope. The winds there have a clean sweep of
the oceanic region that girdles the earth south
of the continents ; these winds have an average
force greater than those we know north of
the equator, and there is no solid obstacle in
the way of the surges they raise.
Sailors in modern times have never seen
such waves as those which the early navigators
declared attained heights of 100 to 130 feel.
La Perouse asserted that he saw waves tower-
ing in the Pacific to a height of nearly 200
feet. In these more scientific days we may
say that the highest wave yet measured had
an altitude of about fifty-two feet. This was
in the southern ocean a little north of the
Antarctic regions; and it is quite certain that
the highest waves ever seen in that region
did not surpass fifty-eight feet in altitude. A
wave of that height would certainly be a for-
midable looking object and its crest would
wash the windows of the fifth story of many
New York buildings.
The average height of the waves in differ-
ent oceans has been ascertained with some ap-
proach to accuracy as the result of a great
many measurements. The highest waves ob-
served in the Indian ocean, for example, are
about forty feet. The highest waves in the
North Atlantic are from twenty-five to
twenty -nine feet, and in the Mediterranean
from sixteen to nineteen feet.
Evn the smaller of these great waves has
considerable destructive power. Some of them
travel along at a speed of twenty-five miles
an hour. A wave about thirty feet high con-
tains thousands of tons of water, and when
this immense force is dashed against any
structure the ruin wrought is likely to be im
pressive.
The German railway statistics for the fiscal
year show that the net income on the invested
capital was 6.11 per cent, against 5.07 per cent
in 1894. The mileage increased in this time
22.4 per cent, to 33,594 miles of broad-gauge
lines.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Australian Notes.
(For the Coast Seamen's Joubnal.)
The citizens iii' Sydney are al>uut to have
a real good time in the very oear future, as
our good old "yes-no" politician, the Hon.
G. IT. Rcid. Federal leader of the Opposition,
is taking the platform on the anti-SocialisI
question, and is to be met by W. A. Holman,
a noted Socialist. Mr. Holman, who is a mem-
ber of the State Labor party and is now prac-
ticing as a barrister, is quite a young man
and is Deputy-leader of the State Laborists
in Parliament, and a very able debater.
About twelve years ago he was following his
trade, that of a cabinet-maker. So you may
readily see what is possible for an energetic
straight-goer in the labor movement. Do not
think for a moment that he has readied liis
present position without the most strenuous
opposition from the enemies of labor in poli-
tics and the anti-Socialists, although the La-
bor Leaguers and Socialists do not pull to-
gether. There is just the same want of unity
here in Australia as in America. I am ex-
tremely sorry to admit that fact, but it is only
too true.
What a grait day for the workers of Greal
Britain, as the results of the late elections go.
• lust picture the heavy blow which has caused
the death of the great Conservative party!
Astonishing is no word for the result. It
surely goes to prove that, the working masses
an- not now so apathetic, as id' yore. Just
draw a picture in your mind of a railway
guard, compositor, factory worker, engineer,
collie)-, newsboy, mill-worker, civil servant,
lithographic printer, steel-smelter, cabinet-
maker, soldier, navvy, railway clerk and ship-
wright, all being sent to the British Parlia-
ment.
After all, the introduction of Chinese mi
the Hand has now proved id' immense service.
It is to be hoped that, in time to come, we will
see the Boer and British worker in Smith
Africa united in the returning of Labor rep-
resentatives to their local Legislature, so that
even Chinese slavery will be abolished, and
that even in South Africa, as in Australia, the
question of Home Rule will be given to all
dependencies, as it should also apply to that
persecuted country, Ireland.
The ease of the Land frauds is now in a
very peculiar position, as it seems to the man
on the corner that a quibble can at any time
be raised by any of the people who compose
that conservative union of lawyers, otherwise
termed the "Devil's Brigade."
O. II. Reid, of "yes-no," or somersault
fame, is now supporting the Tobacco Trust
here, and trying to prove that were this par-
ticular industry taken over by the Govern-
ment, it would mean the squeezing of the
smoker, as it would then become a crime for
any person to manufacture tobacco in any
shape or form outside the Government. It
can be easily pointed out that we have a state
clothing factory and nevertheless there are as
many tailor shops and clothing stores in Syd-
ney as in any other portion of the world.
New South Wales has her poor-houses at
Rockwood, and there are as many poor per-
sons here as elsewhere. We have a Govern-
ment employment agency at Dawes Point,
and yet in Sydney, in proportion to popula-
tion, we have more unemployed to the square
inch than other countries to the square mile.
The object of the State factories, as we look
at it, is that in any trade where the capitalist
has the upper hand of all, he shall not be al-
lowed to hi' a sweater. All that the average
worker, or even the fanatic, as the Socialist
is termed, asks for is "equal opportunities for
all/'
Things along the water front are just now
beginning to ease a little, although there is
no shipping, practically speaking, in port at
present in the oversea trade. Matters coast-
wise are about the same as when the last mail
left. That is to say, shipping is fairly brisk
and not many coastwise seamen or firemen
ashore. The other maritime workers are just
pegging along, thanks to the Arbitration
Court judge, who has lefl nothing to them,
only worse conditions than before he came on
the bench. The Arbitration Court judge is
now becoming interested in choral societies.
1 am under the impression that, taking his re-
cent decisions on union matters as a criterion
of his knowledge of the working masses and
their conditions, it would be in our interests
if he could only see his way (dear to follow
up the choral societies, as in that sphere I do
not doubt his ability and philanthropy.
We still have a visit, occasionally from our
friend, the bubonic plague. It has now struck
Western Australia, that is close to the gold
fields at a place called Geraldtown, a small
shipping port or bay commonly called by sea-
men the Xor'west Coast. The plague is also
in the island of Noumea, one of the French
possessions. Tin-: Commodore.
Sydney. N. s. \\\. February 25, 1906.
SKipping of Hull.
The steamboat line of Thos. Wilson. Sons
& Co., between Hull and the ports of Ham-
burg, Antwerp, Ghent, and Dunkirk, will in
future be run by this firm and the North East-
ern Railway Company jointly. The latter will
have financial control, while the shipping busi-
ness will be conducted, as heretofore, by
Messrs. "Wilson. This new combination is one
phase of the rivalry for the trade centering
on the Humber River. The establishment of
a more modern passenger service is also con-
templated, which will offer increased conveni-
ences for traveling between Hull ami Ham-
burg, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Christiania,
Stockholm, and St. Petersburg, and so provide
a direct route from Liverpool across England
to Hull, and thence to northern Europe. This
would make a most desirable route for passen-
gers from America traveling by the way of
Liverpool to the Continent. To facilitate this
traffic a new dock is to be built at Hull and the
Humber River is to be dredged so that passen-
gers and light freight can be landed at all
stages of the tide. It is also proposed to con-
struct a new line of railway by which trains
can be broughl direct to this dock and goods
transshipped from train to steamer with a min-
imum handling and passengers embarked from
train to steamer, or vice versa, without "cab-
bing" through the city.
The new arrangement will probably result
also in the diversion of trade from the Tyne
to the Humber, as the route from this port to
northern Europe is much the shorter, and the
means of distributing goods landed in Hull
throughout central England are superior to
those at Newcastle. Three id' the four rail-
roads centering on the Humber River have
now absorbed private steamship lines run-
ning to the Continent. Only one other rail-
road lacks such facilities.
The United States floating drydock Dewey
sailed from Las Palmas, Canary Islands, on
March 17, en route for Manila. P. I.

The Cunard turbine liners Lusitania
and Mauritania, now under construction,
are designed to make the passage from
Liverpool to New York in three days
and eighteen hours, equal to thirty-one
statute miles per hour. The new vessels
will be 770 feet long between perpendicu-
lars, and will carry nearly 2000 passen-
gers and 28,000 tons of cargo. They
will be completed by next winter.
A bill was recently introduced in the
Maryland State Senate, at Annapolis,
giving the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal Company the right to charge a toll
of twenty-five cents for every adult pas-
senger taken through the waterway. The
measure is regarded as a blow at the
Ericsson Line, which uses the canal in
operating a number of boats between
E'hiladelphia and Baltimore.
An equinoctial gale raged on March
20 and 21 over the whole coast of New-
foundland, causing widespread damage.
Shipping reports from various centers
show that several vessels have been
wrecked and wharves and water-front
property destroyed. Two vessels, the
Scintilla and the Rover, are missing and
it is feared that both have foundered
with their crews.
Captain Bliss Barr and his crew of
nine men of the schooner Mary Manning,
were landed at Boston, Mass., on March
6 by the British steamer Casilde from
South America. The Manning's men
were taken from their waterlogged and
sinking vessel on the 4th, after they had
endured more than four days of violent
storm, clinging to the afterhouse of their
vessel and almost wholly deprived of
food and water.
J. Bruce Ismay and P. A. S. Frank-
lin, President and Vice-President re-
spectively of the International Mercan-
tile Marine, will shortly pay a visit to
Portland, Me., to look into the terminal
facilities of that port with a view, it is
said, of increasing the Dominion and
Lev land services from there. It is ru-
mored that the International Company
will place a large number of steamers in
the St. Lawrence-European trade this
spring.

THE "BILL OF GRIEVANCES."
A. F. of L. Addresses Government.
Replies of President Roosevelt and SpeaKer Cannon.
LABOR'S "BILL OP GRIEVANCES" was pre-
sented by the Executive Council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, on March 21, to
President Roosevelt, Senator Frye, President
pro tern, of the United States Senate, and Representa-
tive Cannon, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The Memorial of organized labor and the replies there-
to are herewith published in full, as follows:
Washington, D. C, March 21, 1906.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States;
Hon. William P. Frye,
President Pro Tempore, United States Senate;
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon,
Speaker, House of Representatives, United States.
The undersigned Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor, and those accompanying us in
the presentation of this document, submit to you the
subject matter of the grievances which the workmen
of our country feel by reason of the indifferent posi-
tion which the Congress of the United States has mani-
fested toward the just, reasonable, and necessary
measures which have been before it these past several
years, and which particularly affect the interests of
the working people, as well as by reason of the ad-
ministrative acts of the Executive branches of the
Government, and the legislation of the Congress relat-
ing to these interests. For convenience the matters
of which we complain arc briefly stated, and are as
follows :
The law commonly known as the Eight-Hon*' law has
been found ineffective and insufficient to accomplish
the purpose of its designers and framers. Labor has,
since 1894, urged the passage of a law so as to remedy
the defects, and for its extension to all work done
for or on behalf of the Government. Our efforts
have been in vain.
Without hearing of any kind granted to those who
are the advocates of the Eight-Hour law and princi-
ple, Congress passed, and the President signed, an ap-
propriation bill containing a rider nullifying the
Eight-Hour law and principle in its application to the
greatest public work ever undertaken by our Govern-
ment— the construction of the Panama Canal.
The Eight-Hour law in terms provides that those
intrusted with the supervision of Government work
shall neither require nor permit any violations there-
of, The law has been grievously and frequently vio-
lated; the violations have been reported to the heads
of several departments, who have refused to take the
necessary steps for its enforcement.
While recognizing the necessity for the employment
of inmates of our penal institutions, so that they may
be self-supporting, labor has urged in vain the enact-
ment of a law that shall safeguard it from the com-
petition of the labor of convicts.
In the interest of all of our people and in conso-
nance with their almost general demand we have urged
Congress for some tangible relief from the constantly
growing evil of induced and undesirable immigration,
but without result.
Recognizing the danger of Chinese immigration,
and responsive to the demands of the people, Congress
years ago enacted an effective Chinese Exclusion law ;
yet, despite the experience of the people of our own
country, as well as those of other countries, tin' pres-
ent law is flagrantly violated, and now, by Act of
Congress, it is seriously proposed to invalidate that
law and reverse the policy.
The partial relief secured by the laws of 1895 and
1898, providing that seamen shall not be compelled to
endure involuntary servitude, has been seriously threat-
ened at each succeeding Congress. The petitions to
secure for the seamen equal rights with all others
have been denied and a disposition shown to extend
to other workmen the system of compulsory labor.
Under the guise of a bill to subsidize the shipping
industry, a provision is incorporated, and has already
passed the Senate, providing for a form of conscrip-
tion, which would make compulsory naval service a
condition precedent to employment on privately-owned
vessels.
Having in mind the terrible and unnecessary loss of
life attending the burning of the Slocum in the harbor
of New York, the wreck of the Rio de Janeiro at the
entrance to the Bay of San Francisco, and other dis-
asters on the waters too numerous to mention, in
nearly every case the great loss of life was due to
the undermanning and the unskilled manning of such
vessels, we presented to Congress measures that would,
if enacted, so far as human law could -do, make im-
possible the awful loss of life. We have sought this
remedy more in the interests of the traveling public
than in that of the seamen, but in vain.
Having in mind the constantly increasing evil grow-
ing out of the parsimony of corporations, of towing
several undermanned and unequipped vessels called
barges on the high seas, where, in case of storm or
stress, they are cut loose to drift or sink, and their
crew to perish, we have urged the passage of a law
that shall forbid the towing of more than one such
vessel unless they shall have an equipment and a crew
sufficient to manage them when cut loose and sent
adrift, lint in vain.
The Anti-Trust and Interstate Commerce laws en-
acted to protect the people against monopoly in the
products of labor, and against discrimination in the
transportation thereof, have been perverted, so far as
the laborers are concerned, so as to invade and violate
their personal liberty as guaranteed by the Constitu-
tion. Our repeated efforts to obtain redress from
< 'ongress have been in vain.
The beneficent Writ of Injunction, intended to pro-
tect property rights, has, as used in labor disputes,
been perverted so as to attack and destroy personal
freedom, and in a manner to hold that the employer
has some property rights in the labor of the workmen.
Instead of obtaining the relief which labor has sought,
it is seriously threatened with statutory authority for
existing judicial usurpation.
The Committee on Labor of the House of Repre-
sentatives was instituted at the demand of labor to
voice its sentiments, to advocate its rights, and to pro-
tect its interests. In the past two Congresses this
committee has been so organized as to make ineffectual
any attempt labor has made for redress. This being
the fact, in the last Congress, labor requested the
Speaker to appoint on the Committee on Labor, mem-
bers who, from their experience, knowledge, and sym-
pathy, would render in this Congress such service as
the committee was originally designed to perform.
Not only was labor's request ignored, but the hostile
makeup of the committee was accentuated.
Recently the President issued an order forbidding
any and all Government employes, upon the pain of in-
stant dismissal from the Government service, to peti-
tion Congress for any redress of grievances, or for
any improvement in their condition. Thus the con-
stitutional right of citizens to petition must be sur-
rendered by the Government employe in order that he
may obtain or retain his employment.
Wre present these grievances to your attention be-
cause we have long, patiently, and in vain waited for
redress. There is not any matter of which we have
complained but for which we have, in an honorable
and lawful manner, submitted remedies. The remedies
for these grievances proposed by labor are in line with
fundamental law, and with the progress and develop-
ment made necessary by changed industrial condi-
tions.
Labor brings these grievances to your attention be-
cause you are the representatives responsible for leg-
islation and for failure of legislation. The toilers
come to you as your fellow-citizens, who, by reason of
[heir position in life, have not only with all other citi-
\;ns an equal interest in our country, but the further
interest of being the burden-bearers, the wage-earners
of America. As labor 's representatives we ask you
to redress these grievances, for it is in your power
so to do.
Labor now appeals to you, and we trust that it may
not be in vain. But if perchance you may not heed
us, we shall appeal to the conscience and the support
of our fellow-citizens. Very respectfully,

Following is the text of the President's reply:
Mr. Gompers: If your body objects to the passage
of the proposed Anti-Injunction bill, I have no ques-
tion that you can stop it, for there is not a capitalist
concerned who simply as a capitalist is not against it,
though I believe that a goodly number, both of capital-
ists and wage-workers, who are concerned primarily
as citizens, favor it.
The law was worked over and substantially whipped
into shape at a number of conferences between rep
resentatives of the railroad organizations, of the De-
partmenl of Justice, and of the Bureau of Corpora-
tions, with me. It goes as far as 1 personally think it
should go in limiting the Writ of Injunction; at any
rate, no arguments have hitherto been advanced which
make me think it, should go farther. I do not believe
it has any chance of passing, because there lias been
great criticism in both Mouses of Congress against the
attitude of the adminstration going as far as we have
gone, and if you think it is not far enough, why you
will have no earthly difficulty in killing the bill.
Personally, I think the proposed law a most admir-
able one, and I very sincerely wish it would be put
through. As for the Writ of Injunction, it is abso-
lutely necessary to have this power lodged in the
courts, though, of course, any abuse of the power is
strongly to be reprobated. During the four and a half
years that I have been President, I do not remember
an instance where the Government, has invoked the
Writ of Injunction against a combination of laborers.
We have invoked it, certainly a score of times, against
combinations of capital. 1 think, possibly, oftener.
Thus, though we have secured the issuance of injunc-
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
number of eases against capitalistic com-
binations, it has happened that we have never tried to
secure an injunction against a combination of labor.
But understand me, gentlemen, if I ever thought it
necessary, if 1 thought a combination of laborers were
doing wrong, I would apply for an injunction against
them just as quickly as against so many capitalists.
Now I come to the gei i | of your peti-
tion. I wish, in the first place, to state my regret that
you did not divorce so much of the petition as refers
to the action of ti itive branch, because I can
BOi consider any petition that you may make that re-
fiecta upon the co-ordinate branch of the Government,
or that makes any charge whatever against it. I
would not even receive it save tor the fact that in
part it affects the Executive. Therefore, in what I
have to say I shall limit myself solely to what you as-
sert in reference to the nets of the Executive,
Sou speak of the Eight-Hour law. Your criticism,
so tar as ii relates to the Executive, bears upon the
signature of the appropriation bill containing the
money for expenditure on the Panama Canal, with the
proviso that the Eight-Hour law shall not there apply.
If your statement is intended to mean that no oppor-
tunity was given for a hearing before me, then the
statement is not in accordance with the facts. There
was ample opportunity that any one could, but not a
single request for such hearing came to me. I re-
ceived, however, some hundreds of telegrams and let-
ters requesting the veto of the entire appropriation
bill, because it contained that, proviso.
frankly, 1 found it difficult to believe that you were
writing and telegraphing with any kind of knowledge
of the conditions in the case. I believe emphatically
in the Eight-Hour law for our people in our own
country. But the conditions of labor, such as we have
to work with in the tropics, are so absolutely different
that there is no possible analogy between them, and
an Eight-Hour law for the Panama Canal is an ab-
surdity. Every one of you knows that we can not get
white labor, can not get labor of the Tinted States to
go down to Panama and work.
We are driven to extremities in the effort to get
any kind of Labor at all. dust at this moment we are
working chiefly with negro labor from the West In-
dies. The usual result in the employment of these
men is that Monday and Tuesday they work fairly
well, Wednesday and Thursday there is a marked
falling off, and Friday and Saturday not more than
half, sometimes less than a fourth, of the laborers
will be at work.
The conditions that make the Eight-Hour law prop-
er here have no possible reference to the condition*
that make the Might-Hour law entirely improper there.
The conditions are so utterly different on the isth-
mus as compared to here that it is impossible to try
to draw conclusions affecting the one from what is
true about the other. You hamper me in the effort to
get for you what I think you ought to have in connec-
tion with the Eight-Hour law, when you make a re-
quest that is indefensible, and to grant which would
mean indefinite delay and injury to the work on the
Isthmus.
As to the \iolations of the Eight-Hour law, Mr.
Morrison, you give me no specifications. At your
earliest convenience, phase lay before me in detail any
complaints you have of violations of the Eight-Hour
law. Where 1 have power I will see that the law is
obeyed. All 1 ask is that you give me the cases. I
will take them up, and if they prove to be sustained
by the facts I shall see that the law is enforced.
Now about tin1 Chinese Exclusion. The number of
Chinese now in this country is, if I remember aright,
some sixty or seventy thousand. So far from there
being a great influx of the Chinese, the fact is thai
the number has steadily decreased. There are fewer
Chinese than there were ten years ago, fewer than
there were twenty years ago, fewer than there were
thirty years ago.
Unquestionably some scores of cases occur each year
where Chinese laborers get in either by being smug-
gled over the Mexican or Canadian borders or by com-
ing in under false certificates, but the steps we have
taken, the changes in the consuls that have been made
within the last few years in the Orient, and the ef-
forts to conduct examinations in China before the im-
migrants are allowed to come here, are materially re-
ducing even the small number of cases that do occur.
But even as it is, the number of these cases is in-
significant. There is no appreciable influx of Chinese
Laborers, and there is not the slightest or most remote
danger of any. The whole scare that has been worked
up on the subject is a pure chimera. It is my deep
conviction that we must keep out of this country
every Chinese laborer, skilled or unskilled — every
Chinaman of the coolie class. This is what the pro-
posed law will do. It will be done as effectively as
under the present law, and the present law is being
handled with the utmost efficiency. But 1 will do
everything in my power to make easy ami desirable
fur the Chinese of the business and professional classes,
the Chinese travelers and students, to come here, and
1 «ill do all I can to secure their g 1 treatment when
they come, and no Laboring man has anything to fear
from that policy.
I have a right to chaUei - good American
citizens to support that policy, and in any event I
shall stand unflinchingly for it, and no man can say
with sincerity that on this point, or, indeed on any
other point, that he has any excuse for misunderstand-
ing my policy.
You have spoken of the Immigration laws. I be-
lieve not merely that all possible steps should be
taken to prevent the importation of laborers under any
form, but I believe further, that this country ought
to make a resolute effort from now on to prevent the
coming to the country of men with a standard of liv-
ing so low that they tend, by entering into unfair com-
petition with, to reduce the standard of living of our
own people. Not one of you can go further than I
will go in the effort steadily to raise the stams of the
American wage-worker, so long as, while doing it I
can retain a clear conscience and the certainty that I
am doing what is right. I will do all in my power for
the laboring man except to do what is wrong, and I
will not do that for him or for any one else.
We must not let our natural sentiment for succor-
ing the oppressed and unfortunate ,,f other lands lead
us into that warped moral and mental attitude ,,f
trying to succor them, at the expense of pulling down
our own people. Laws should be enacted to keep out
all immigrants who do not show that they have the
right stuff in them to enter into our life on terms of
decent equality with our own citizens. Thi- is needed
first in the interests of the laboring man, but further-
more, in the interest of all of us as American citizens
tor, gentlemen, the bonds that unite all good Ameri-
can citizens are stronger by far than the differences
which, I think, you accentuate altogether too much
between the men who do one kind of labor and the
men who do another. As for immigrants, we can not
have too many of the right kind, and we should have
none at all of the wrong kind, and they are ,,f the
right kind if we can be fairlv sun- that their children
and grandchildren can meet on terms of equality OUT
children and grandchildren, so as to try to be decent
citizens ami to work together for the uplifting of the
Republic.
Now, a word as to the petitioning of employes to
Congress. That stands in no shape or way on a par
with the petitioning of men not employed by the Gov-
ernment. I can not have and will not have, whin 1
can prevent it, men who are concerned in the admin-
istration of the Government affairs going to Con-
gress and asking for increased pay, without the per-
mission of the heads of the Departments. Their busi-
ness is to come through the heads of the Departments.
Tins applies to Postmasters, to Army and Navy offi-
cers, to clerks in the Government Departments, to la-
borers; it applies to each and all, and must apply as
a matter of simple discipline.
The delegation called upon Senator Frye, as Presi-
dent pro tern, of the Senate, ami laid before him a
copy of the Memorial. Mr. Frye received the .Me-
morial without comment, beyond the mere statement
that he would lay it before the Senate.
President Compers having read the Memorial to
Speaker Cannon, the latter replied, as follows:
I have listened to the reading of the document pre
sented by you. The same is received and will receive
the proper reference in the House. I am, perhaps, to
be pardoned if I say in the list of grievances you go
tlirollffh the Whole public Service rlnmoatlo or. A *„».
nrough the whole public service, domestic and for
eie.ii; that covered by treaties; covered by legislation;
covered by administration. You go from A to Z in the
list of grievances and the list of requests that you
make in your Memorial. All that I can do as a mem-
ber of the House of Representatives and for the time
being, as Speaker, in that House is to take the Me-
morial and see that it receives earnest consideration
and give it the proper reference.
After all, legislation and administration— policies
for the American people, 80,00o,oon of us— progress
<mly so fast as the majority of the people demand
and will support. Much of legislation has been en-
acted. Much of administration has been had.
The government of the people, as we believe the
best government on earth, strong though it is, so long
as we are worthy of it, is like all other governments.
It lias its weak points — I will not say weak points
but I will say, at times, its weaknesses, in govern-
ment any protection afforded the individual and not
afforded any other individual, establishes a precedent
which invoked again might destroy each or all of the
citizenship of all the country.
As I look into your faces gathered about me here,
they are not strange faces to me. I have not m
of you personally, but it is just such an assemblage
as would come from any or all of the classes which
make matter assume form with its labor. Son repre-
sent, I believe, the highest body representing organ-
ized labor; you represent millions; how main men are
in your organization J do not know; you touch ell
with till the citizenship throughout ' the length and
breadth of the land.
You are not the whole shooting match, but you are
a good share of it. There are those who live in the
Sweat of their faces, skilled in their callings, who
are not of your organization, but they should be- at
full liberty to be of your organization, and who should
be at full liberty not to be of your organization.
Then there is a vast army of other people— the
shopkeeper, the merchant, the farmer— all going to
make up the 80,000,000 of people of our country. Let
me say to you, I think I know the Stuff of which vou
are made. There is no path that honest toil has trod
from boyhood to maturity that I have not trod and
that my children and grandchildren after me must
t read.
I Can sympathize with your desire for better eon
■ lit ions, better legislation, better administration, yet
it is well for all of us to recollect that it is a law of
the human family that governs till of us to attain the
ends which are nearest to your desires.
The farmer is looking after the matters that In-
terest him; the railroad man is looking after the mat-
ters that interest him primarily, and so through till
the industries, organized and' unorganized. Bach
man, if he is of any account, is trying to make him-
self master of his calling.
In the last analysis comes the administration and
legislation which will bring the greatest good to the
greatest number. I can again say, perhaps, replying
to the criticism which would apply to myself, person-
ally or officially, that under our proceedings it is ab-
solutely necessary that somebody should organize- the
committees of the House. You can not do it by con-
ferences; you can not do it by a caucus. Th
sion would be over before we would get them organiz-
ed as the question always comes as to which should
be first and the most important. Ever since the foun-
dation of the Government it has been the right of the
Speaker to organize the committees.
t , °" CT}}'\cis(; the organization of the Committee on
Labor. When I came into the House as Speaker I
adopted something of a new policy. The minority
had always complained that it w.as not fairlv repre
seated. 1 said to the leader of the minority « ' Make
your slate" for the organization of the minority and
it will go, unless you get in the way of my geography
In the last Congress he got in the way of my geog-
raphy twice; in this Congress not at nil.' The House
rganized with my best judgment for the major-
ity, and according to the best judgment of the minor-
In my judgment the Committee on Labor is not
justly criticised by your Memorial. It is a commit-
tee, so far as I was aDle to make it, of able con-
scientious men, whose feet are in the soil— our kind
of men. At its head is Mr. Gardner, for whom 1 have
the profoundest respect —
Mr. Compers— I would like to sav, Mr. Speaker
that we, too, have the profoundest 'admiration and'
respect for Mr. Gardner.
The Speaker (resuming)— But if this great Federa-
tion expects that it is possible to organize any or all
of the committees of the House that' will agree about
all matters of legislation, they are expecting the im-
possible.
I do not know how many committees you have here
present, or how many committees vou have in your
annual meetings, but if there are not times when there
are occasions for damns, I miss my gt
I do not think the House of' Representatives is
more able than your great body. So tar as I have
known them they are men of great ability. The old
copperplate- axiom in the copybook was '"Many n
"f many minds," and so it is the world over— many
men of many minds.
There- never were two men from the beginning who
worshiped the- same Cod. Cod is the same- without
reference to your or my conception of Him. Never
were two men who had the s a of the
same Cod, and there never will be, yet God, to me
is my conception of Him. You can "not uniform it
from tiny considerable number of men. so you have
to get the best compromise you can. I say this with
it.-st frankness and th.- greatest respect in re-
ceiving this Memorial from yon officially to be- com-
municated to the House.
Now, let me look at you in the- face, fellow-citizens]
making and representing this great Federation. You
have in your great work as many responsibilities as
has Congress; as many responsibilities as has any
other great organization— perhaps r should sav vol-
untary organization, and I will not except the church.
That deals with our condition here and our be
hereafter, but yon, for your organization, touch
minds ami conditions of the multiplied hopes of the
people in your organization and outside of your or-
ganization.
This responsibility is upon you, that when the oc-
casion comes in the performance of your duty that
you should do as you ask me to do ami your repre-
sentatives in Congress to do — lay your hand on your
heart and say "God helping me, in cool judgment
and honest endeavor, I will help bring about the great-
est good to the greatest number of the people who
constitute the Republic," and with the law and under
the law, which is not required, Mr. Gompers, for 95
out of every 100, it is the 5 out of the 100 in the civ-
ilized world that need law to protect the 95, so that
under the law, by agitation, by interchange of thought,
by interchange of opinion, by honest effort, we are to
have proper Legislation, proper administration, and
what is far better than both, a sound public senti-
ment throughout the country which makes and un-
makes Congresses. Governors, Legislators and the'
whole thing.
Mr. Gompers — There is frequently a misconception
in regard to our organization. We hear the statement
made that we represent 2,000,000 people in the Fed-
eration and there are 80,000,000 in the United States.
It must be borne in mind that in the main, the make-
up of our organization are men — wage-earners — and
they have wives and children, and taking the average
family or the number of the average famil
unfair to say that this 2,000,000 or more represent at
least 10,000,000 of the population of 80,000,0oo.
The Speaker — I heartily indorse that; and if you
will allow me, 1 will state one thing further. I am
not a member of any labor organization (I am not
petent in my present employment to be), yet I
have been a wage-earner all my life. I want to -
to you, Brother Gompers, that your organization is
my organization.
Mr. Gompers — As to the Committee- on Labor, I
have not any doubt as to the ability of the- ruemb
of thai committee, but if any judgment is to be form-
ed from action, we are compelled to express our di
Bent from tin- intelligence exhibited as apart fro
sympathy. As a matter of tact, at the instan.-.
the opponents of our Bight-Hour bill, the commit
adopted a resolution containing a series of questions
formulated by our opponents and transmitted by them
to the Department of Commerce and Labor for in-
vestigation and answer.
A majority of the committee adopted resolutions
to which the Department was compelled to reply and
say that they were unintelligible and unanswerable,
and I say these questions were framed, not by prac-
tical men, not by practical capitalists, but by lawyi
wno, knowing nothing absolutely of industry, framed
not to obtain any practical information, but in a spirit
eif postponement, deferring, fighting for time, time,

Wireless Telegraphy Afloat.
A press dispatch from Washington informs
the public that Willis L. Moore, Chief of the
United States Weather Bureau, is arranging
to supply vessels at sea with weather forecasts,
especially storm warnings. This, it is calcu-
lated, will be feasible by the systematic col-
lection by means of wireless telegraph of mete-
orological observations from vessels far out
at sea, and the immediate transmission by the
same means of the forecasts and warnings thus
collected to other vessels. The masters and of-
ficers of the American transatlantic and trans-
pacific liners have promised to co-operate with
the Government in the matter, and have gener-
ally agreed to furnish reports of their observa-
tions to the Weather Bureau from time to
time, free of charge.
A special telegraphic code has been pre-
pared by the Weather Bureau officials, by
means of which exact information as to date
and hour, the latitude and longitude of the
vessel, the atmospheric pressure and tempera-
ture, the force and direction of the wind, and
the appearance of the sky and sea, is all com-
pressed into four words. Upon the receipt
of a message at any of the coast wireless-tele-
graph stations it will be at once forwarded to
the Weather Bureau in Washington, being
given preference as Government business.
The Government is to be commended,
especially by seamen, for its activity in this
direction. It may not be generally known to
landsmen, but it is a fact well-known to stu-
dents of meteorology that storms travel for-
ward— butt-end foremost sometimes — along a
certain, well-defined route, usually of no great
width. Hence it is evident that if vessels at
sea can get reliable information in time from
the Weather Bureau as to the approach and
direction of a storm, they may easily keep out
of its course. Another feature of value in
connection with the proposed service is that,
the Weather Bureau will be able to inform
transatlantic liners, and other vessels, of
derelicts in their course and the area of fog
and ice on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland.
All of which will make navigation a great
deal safer than it now is.
E. 11. Harriman, the well-known railroad
promoter and Wall street magnate, has made
all necessary arrangements to erect and equip
a great terminal railroad station on the shores
of Jamaica Bay (N. Y.), where the largest
steamers afloat may load or unload without
entering New York Bay. The approach to
Jamaica Bay is just outside the bars and
shoals between which the ship channels to
New York meander, and which have always
constituted a source of more or less danger to
shipping.
According to a consular report from Stutt-
gart, Germany, the Hamburg- American
steamship line has been experimenting with a
new method for treating seasickness by means
of an "electric vibration chair." The experi-
ment consisted in connecting a number of
these chairs with the electric light conduit and
placing the patients in them. The sedative
effect on the patients when subjected to the
vibration current is said to have been plainly
noticeable, perceptibly reducing the pulse
and nervons excitement.
Miscellaneous.
A well-attended public meeting for seamen
was held on March 17, in the New York hall
of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union. Gen-
eral Organizer Fred Benson presided, and the
meeting was addressed by comrades William
H. Frazier, William Penje, Andrew Furuseth.
Daniel Sullivan and James H. Williams. A
continuance of these meetings at regular in-
tervals during the year will be a prominent
feature in the work of Organizer Benson.
The seven-masted schooner Thomas W.
Lawson sailed from Boston on March 11, for
Newport News, to load coal for Honolulu or
San Francisco. After discharging her cargo
of coal she will proceed to a port on Puget
Sound and load lumber for an Atlantic Coast
port. The combined freights, it is calcu-
lated, will net the owners the sum of $115,000,
to-wit, $45,000 for the outward trip, and, at
the rate of $15.50 per 1,000 feet of lumber,
$70,000 for the homeward trip. If the voyage
proves successful the Lawson will probably lie
eonverted into a permanent deep-sea trader.
The past winter has been an exceptionally
stormy one on the Atlantic Coast. In the
matter of shipwrecks attended with loss of
life it will probably be found to have broken
the record when all the facts are known. The
worst part of it is that most of the loss of
life had been due to wanton disregard of the
most ordinary precautions against the natural
dangers of the sea. Most of the vessels that
were lost were old, unseaworthy traps, which
would long ago have been condemned had
they been under the jurisdiction of any of
the older maritime nations. Add to this that
they were all undermanned, more or less, and
nearly all overloaded, and the explanation of
their fate is not far to seek. The whole sub-
ject is one demanding earnest consideration
from Congress. Shipowners have too long
been permitted to disregard their obligations
as employers and common carriers. Laws for
the proper manning of vessels, for a national
load-line, and for the condemnation of unsea-
worthy vessels, should be enacted by Congress
without any further delay.
Commenting upon the somewhat strained
relations between this country and China on
the issue of Chinese Exclusion, the Galveston
Daily News says :
We have several thousands of American citizens in
China of whom that country desires to rid itself.
China has some thousands of her people in this
country to whom we would gladly give the hand of
parting. How would it do to arrange for an ex-
change, and thus settle the matter without bloodshed
or expense .'
The sett lenient of the Chinese imbroglio
upon lines suggested by the question of the
News is respectfully referred for considera-
tion to the Messrs. Roosevelt, Taft et al. A
fair exchange is no robbery. The Chinese
make no sort of secret of the fact that they
would be only too pleased to get rid of all the
"foreign devils," particularly the Yankee
variety, sojourning within their borders. Tf
the question of deport in all the Chinese now
residing here was referred to a plebiscite of the
citizens of this county, the "ayes" would out-
number the "noes" twenty to one. So, why
not an "exchange of prisoners," as suggested
by the Galveston Daily News .'
Fag Ends.
Work for Direct Legislation and the Re-
call !
Scratch a ''champion of the plain people"
and yon will find an aristocrat.
Truth is stranger than fiction because Na-
ture is greater than art.
To the fool all things are commonplace, and
lo the vulgar there is nothing sacred.
The man who can't trust himself has at least
a fair excuse for not trusting other men.
Without the stamp of honor worldly fame
is but a passing show, an empty name.
The trade-union that helps its members to
make two dollars where they only made one
before is a public benefactor.
A dilemma— the man who goes the pace that
kills is "tempting fate," while he who travels
slowly may arrive too late.
Kindness unappreciated never wholly goes
to waste, and no soul is much the poorer for
a confidence misplaced.
'Twixt Chinese Exclusion and the European
invasion we'll not go to sleep for the want of
"live issues."
The home of the brave and the land of the
free is no place for the Jap or the heathen
Chinee.
Paradoxical but human — Man never is less
satisfied than when his labors are excelled by
other men.
Monopoly is power; the power of the few
over the many, and therefore incompatible
with Democracy.
The exercise of personal liberty will never
be safe without restraints until men learn to
voluntarily subordinate self-interest to the
interests of society.
In all the ages and in every clime the pow-
ers of privilege and caste and wealth have
fooled the common people all the time, and
robbed them of their liberties by stealth.
Not all are aristocrats who dwell in marble
halls, nor yet all democrats who work in over-
alls; true sentiments are born and moulded in
the heart, not formed by any vagaries of hu-
man art.
As all things sublunary change so men
change, too, in manners, morals, trends of
thought and points of view. No more we strive
by honest efforts to advance— we now go in
for "honest graft" and "high finance."
Watching the periodical realignments be-
tween elections of the professional reformers
with the professional politicians, and the as-
tounding factional somersaults some of them
make, one feels like paraphrasing Hudibras
and saying:
What makes all doctrines plain and clear?
About five thousand plunks a year.
And that which was proved true before
Proved falsi' again? — five thousand more.

Pacific Coast Marine.
The steam-schooner Newsboy was wrecked in the
South Channel of Humboldt Bay, Cal., on March 31,
while bound to San Francisco. The crew were saved
by the Life-Savers.
The steamer Tartar, which arrived at Victoria, B.
C., on March 17, from Yokohama, was placed in quar-
antine on account of smallpox, the victim being a
Chinese in the steward 's department.
The United States Lighthouse Board ou March 22
submitted a report urging an appropriation of $150,-
000 for a Columbia River light vessel, and $130,000
for a lighthouse tender at Portland, Or.
The American ship Arthur Sewall, bound from Phil-
adelphia for Manila, P. I., is reported by cable from
Batavia, Java, to have arrived off Third Point with
her coal cargo heated in the after-hold.
After having been ashore at the entrance to Dela-
goa Bay, S. A., since March 20, the British bark Lan-
sorena, Captain Bass, from Port Blakeley, Wash., for
Lorengo Margues, has been floated and arrived in that
harbor on March 23.
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte appeared before
the House Committee on Naval Affairs recently and
discussed naval appropriations. Among other mat-
ters he urged an appropriation for a stationary dry-
dock on Puget Sound.
United States Senator Flint has reported from the
Pacific Islands Committee the McCumber bill, pro-
viding for the filling in of a portion of the Honolulu
Naval Station site, known as the Reef, with material
dredged from the harbor at a cost of $35,000.
The steamer Mandalay is reported to have passed
Point Gorda, twenty miles south of Eureka, on the
Humboldt coast, on March 21, at which time the
vessel reported that she had lost one of her propellers.
The Mandalay is a twin-screw steamer and comes from
the Coquille River.
The Spreckels tugboat Defiance sailed from San
Francisco on March 23, for Astoria, Or., to take in
town the steam-schooner Aurelia for the former port.
The Aurelia, laden with a cargo for San Francisco,
was reported on the 22d as having broken her pro-
peller at Astoria, and a request was telegraphed for
assistance.
A telegram reported on March 19 that the British
bark Don, from London for Vancouver, B. C, had
been towed into Plymouth, England, with three of the
crew injured and the port bulwarks, the lower fore-
rigging and fore-topmast carried away. The Don
had been in a collision off Start light with an un-
known vessel, but was making no water.
The steamer Breakwater left Coos Bay on her reg-
ular trip for San Francisco, but had to put back ou ac-
count of a strong southeast gale. The fact that the
steamer had to put back indicates that the storm was
of unusual severity on the northern coast. An ordi-
nary storm has never before interfered with the
Breakwater.
One of the few arrivals at San Francisco on March
23 was the schooner Aloha, Captain Dabel, twenty-one
days from Kaanapali, Hawaii, with a cargo of 22,300
bags of sugar. The master reported upon arrival that
when 300 miles off the Coast the Aloha was for twenty-
four hours in a strong southeast gale. The schooner
rode out the storm without damage, however, and
made port when other vessels stood off shore.
Cook & Co., of Seattle, Wash., who will operate the
steamers Tampico and Eureka in the Nome trade dur-
ing the coming season, have announced their with-
drawal from the so-called combination of Seattle
steamship men to maintain an established rate of $15
a ton on all freight shipped to Nome from Seattle this
year.
The new steam-schooner Mayfair, built for Beadle
Brothers and fitted with compound engines by the
Fulton Iron Works, was given a trial trip on San
Francisco Bay on March 19. A contract has been let
for the construction of a duplicate of the Mayfair for
Beadle Brothers, the new steamer to be ready for busi-
ness in about six months.
Notice has been given that on April 10 a whistling
buoy will be in operation at Piedras Blancas light
station, five miles to the northward and westward of
San Simeon Point, at the entrance of San Simeon
Bay and behind Piedra Blanca Rock. The whistle
will be sounded in thick and foggy weather, with a
blast of two seconds, followed by a silent interval of
twenty seconds.
The United States Circuit Court of Appeals, at San
Francisco on March 19, handed down an opinion re-
versing the decision of District Judge J. J. De
Raven, which limited the liabilities in the Progreso
explosion, at San Francisco on December 3, 1902, to
$15,020. Under the decision the claimants may now
bring suit for the full amount of their claims, a total
of $218,025.
The bark Levi G. Burgess, of the Alaska Packers'
Association's fleet, sailed from San Francisco on
March 8, for Bellingham, Puget Sound, on her way
to the Alaskan canneries. The steamer Jennie, of the
same company, also sailed, bound for Odiak, by way of
Kussiloff. These are the first of the Packers' fleet to
get away, and henceforth the sailings will be numer-
ous and frequent.
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte appeared before
the I louse Committee on Naval Affairs recently in
support of an increase in the Navy, lie advocated an
appropriation this year for two Bi,000-ton battleships
ami it' Congress dins not see tit to provide for two
such ships, he urges the construction of one 19,500-ton
battleship. The Secretary's estimate for construction
'•gates $23,300,000. Of this .sum the chief item
is $15,000,000 for the two battleships recommended.
Tin' new steam-scl r Ravaille was given an en-
gineer 's trial trip on San Francisco Bay on March
17, and it was reported upon her return that the ma-
chinery was satisfactory. The Ravaille was built in
the North, but was brought to San Francisco to have
the engines installed by the Fulton Iron Works. The
engines are of the triple-expansion type. The Ravaille
is owned by the Hammond Lumber Company, and is
of the double-deck type of steam-schooner.
Twenty-nine million sockeye salmon fry will be
turned out of the Dominion Government hatchery at
Harrison Lake, B. C, this week and started toward
tne sea. The fish are about three inches long. The
operations at the Harrison Lake hatchery last fall
and winter were attended with great success. The
fish at the Seton Lake hatchery, which is a Provincial
institution, will also shortly be released. Altogether
this hatchery produced approximately 45,000,000 fry
last season, and all but 10,000,000 were reared in a
nursery.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted at San
Francisco on April 1 : American bark Sea King, 7G
days from Newcastle, Australia, for san Francisco, 15
per cent. Italian ship Elisa, 197 days from Hamburg
for San Francisco, 15 per cent. British ship Windsor
Park, 164 days from San Francisco for Liverpool, (3
per cent. British ship Red Rock, 163 days from San
Francisco for Liverpool, 10 per cent. French bark
Genevieve Molinas, 163 days from San Francisco for
Ipswich, 6 per cent.
Contracts have been awarded to English shipyards
for the construction of two fine modern passenger
steamers for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company,
operating a line between Liverpool and Valparaiso,
and this fact gives rise to the report that his com-
pany, which formerly ran its steamers to San Fran-
cisco, may contemplate a resumption of business be-
tween Valparaiso and the latter port, now that the
Pacific Mail Company's concession on the Panama
Railroad has ben abrogated. The South American
company made a fine record during its brief traffic
arangement with San Francisco, three or four years
ago, and it is generally hoped that it will again make
that port a terminus.
The first of the two new Key Route ferryboats now
under construction by Dickie at his Alameda yard, in
San Francisco Bay, will be launched in about two
weeks. The name of the boat has not yet been an-
nounced by F. M. Smith, who has heretofore had the
naming of the Key Route boats, but from all accounts
it may be Claremont or Contra Costa. Immediately
after the launching the ferryboat will be towed to the
Union Iron Works to receive her engines, which, it is
said, are all ready for the vessel. There is every rea-
son to believe that the engines built by the Union Iron
Works for the two Key Route boats will excel those
built in the East for the San Francisco, Yerba Buena
and San Jose.

Next to the building of the Panama Canal,
one of the most remarkable and important
transportation enterprises under way is the
extension of the Florida East Coast Railroad
from Miami, Fla., to the tip of the Gulf at
Key West. A glance at the map shows a long
string of islands leading off the southern
point of Florida. Along these "keys" or
(islands) Henry M. Flagler is now construct-
ing a railway which will bring New York and
Key West into direct rail communication.
From Key West a car ferry will transport a
train of thirty cars to Havana, and the gulf
and straits will be made a veritable harbor of
commerce.
Mr. Flagler turned in his office chair and
handed me the memoranda of the work, and
I saw that the distance from Miami to Key
West is 154 miles, the railroad already ex-
tending twenty-eip-ht miles of this distance to
Homestead. Sixty miles of this road is on
solid rock embankments through the water of
the ocean, separating the mainland from Key
West. Of the entire distance only 65 miles
of the road will be on the islands, the rest of
the distance the rails will be laid thirty-one
feet above salt water. Four concrete viaducts
aggregate nearly six miles, with 50-foot spans
resting upon concrete piers set in the solid
rock and strengthened by piles. There are
seven water openings each 25 feet, and three
drawbridges, which aggregate 410 feet.
Largo is the largest of the keys, and is
forty miles in length, but the railroad only
traverses fifteen miles of its area. Next comes
Plantation Key, and so on down a long list
of keys to Stock Island and Key West. In
addition to the keys which the road actually
passes over there are a number of others in
sight.
The water between the islands is shallow,
being from ten to thirty feet deep, with a
bottom of limestone. The best engineering
talent of the country has been employed to
overcome all obstacles. J. C. Meredith is the
engineer in charge of the work at Miami. A
large fleet of tugs and barges is employed
constantly. At Key West extensive docks
and terminals will be built.— National Maga-
zine.
For the edification of those who hope for the
decline and downfall of the labor movement,
as well as for the information and encourage-
ment of our fellow-unionists, the constant
growth of the labor movement, we believe the
facts indicated in the following statement will
be of interest:
For the four months ending January 31,
1906, there were issued from the office of the
American Federation of Labor 85 charters to
newly constituted unions, as follows:
One international union, three State branch-
es, 16 central bodies, 28 local trade-unions,
and 37 federal labor unions.
This shows an increase of 25 charters by the
American Federation of Labor over the cor-
responding four months of the previous year.
Of course, this does not include the charters
issued by the international imions to locals
of their respective trades and callings.
It should be the duty of every union man,
officer, or in the ranks, to put forth all his
energy and ability for the organization of
those still outside the pale of the beneficent
influences of unionism and solidify the ranks
of the already organized in I lie greatest gen-
eral organization (hat labor has ever had —
the American Federation of Labor. — Ameri-
can Federationist.

LABOR UNITED IN PROTEST.
Whereas, Charles Moyer, William D. Haywood and
George A. Pettibone, officers of the Western Federation
el' Miners, are now under indictment at Boise, [daho,
charged with the murder of former-Governor Steunen-
borfr, of Idaho; therefore be i1
Resolved, By the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, in
regular meeting assembled, at Headquarters. San
Francisco, Cal., March 26, 1906, that we express our
wannest sympathy for these accused fellow trade-
unionists, upon the ground of our belief in their entire
innocence of the charge against them, and our confi-
dence that, upon a full and fair trial of thai charge,
the accused brothers will be honorably acquitted: fur-
ther
Resolved, That we condemn, as unwarranted ami un-
just, the methods adopted in the extradition of
Brothers Mover, Haywood and Pettibone from Colo-
rado to Idaho, without opportunity to consult counsel
or arrange their domestic and business affairs, and
characterize said methods as a gross outrage upon the
rights of the accused persons, amounting in plain fact
to an ait of kidnaping and affording strong ground
for a suspicion of conspiracy to deprive Brothers
Mover, Haywood and Pettibone of the rights to which
they, in common with all accused persons, are entitled
under the law; further
Resolved, That we extend fraternal greetings to our
sister organization, the Western Federate £ Miners,
pledge ourselves to render every possible assist-
ance in securing justice for those of its members who
now, or who may hereafter be, accused of crime;
further
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be pre-
sented to Governor McDonald, of Colorado, to Governor
Gooding, of Idaho, and to the Western Federation of
Miners.
The sentiments here expressed by the Sail-
i is' Union of the Pacific are typical of the
views held, and voiced, by organized labor
throughout the United States. From the
American Federation of Labor down to the
smallest local body of workers, every labor
organization has raised its voice in sympathy
with Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone and in
protest against the shameful treatment to
which these men have been subjected. We
think it perfectly safe to say that the senti-
ments of every intelligent and disinterested
eitizen are in accord with those of organized
labor in this matter.
Sympathy for the accused officials of the^
Western Federation of Miners is based pri-
marily upon the presumption of innocence, a
presumption that is not only warranted by
the theory of legal procedure but clearly justi-
fied by the facts, so far as these are known. It
is. or should be. unnecessary to say that or-
ganized labor has no sympathy with crime or
criminals, least of all with such a crime as
that charged against Mover, Haywood and
Pettibone, or with the criminal who should
plead labor's cause as an extenuation of his
offense. Given the proof of that or any other
crime, organized labor will stand with every
other law-abiding element of the people in ap-
proval of the just meed of punishment, re-
gardless of the identity or associations of the
convicted persons.
Precisely because of their respeel for the
law the organized workers protest against its
violation by the constituted authorities. That
the law has been violated by the authorities
responsible for the extradition of the accused
men is quite clear. The excuse offered for
thai violation is its strongest condemnation.
It. as is claimed, the proof of guilt was so
strong as to make the application for extradi-
tion papers a mere formality, what need exist-
ed for the unusual measures which were re-
sorted to? Certainly there is nothing in the
past conduct of the courts or public of Colo-
rado to give ground for any doubt thai the
law would have been permitted to lake its
course upon the slightest evidence warranting
extradition. The charge that Mover. Hay-
wood and Pettibone have not in reality been
xtradited, but that they have been kid-
naped, is fully sustained by the facts. That
these proceedings justify a strung suspicion
of conspiracy against the accused men is also
quite clear. Even the daily press, that thick-
and-thin champion of "law and order,'' even
at the sacrifice of right and justice, .Iocs not
pretend to excuse the methods adopted by the
authorities of Colorado and Idaho. The daily
press is silent on that point, contenting itself
with the assurance that the accused men will
lie given every opportunity to "prove their in-
nocence." So! It has come to the point that
the burden of proof is upon the accused ! If
men may be taken from their homes in the
dead of night, put on board a special train,
and he literally railroaded into another State,
and there be forced to "prove their inno-
cence"— all of which has been done in the
I'll scut instance — the average citizen may well
tremble for his liberties. The universal prayer
( f labor and its friends among the public at
la roe. that Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone
may be accorded a fair trial is justified by the
well-founded fear that the course of law is in
danger of taking a subterraneous turn unless
it be jealously guarded by the people of Idaho.
It remains to be said that in its expressions
of sympathy and protest, organized labor as-
sumes no responsibility for the rabid utter-
ances of those self-styled "champions of the
cause" and "friends of the proletariat" who
profess to see in the circumstances of the pres-
ent case the "red dawn of revolution," and
who are calling for a million men to "save
the doomed comrades from legalized murder."
or to avenge their death, in case the worst
comes to the worst. Such talk is calculated
to do more harm than good to the ostensible
objects of its concern. The men who talk thus
and the meetings at which such talk is in-
dulged are concerned mainly with the •"spread
of the propaganda." The fate of Moyer. Hay-
wood and Pettibone concerns these radicals
not at all. or. at any rate, only so far as that
fate may serve to further ulterior ends, mostly
of a political nature. Indignation at the crime
perpetrated against the men in question by
The authorities of Idaho and Colorado rrives
way to a revulsion against the greater crime
of those who. under the pretense of aiding
these men. would jeopardize the latters'
chances of public support by rising their mis-
fortunes as a stepping-stone to political power.
Organized labor, so far from sympathizing
with these methods, distinctly repudiates them.
Every trade-unionist, and every other intelli-
gent citizen, is content for the presenl to leave
the case in the hands of their fellow-citizens
in Idaho, believing that, upon a plain preseifj
tation of the truth, both law and justice will

THE PETITION TO THE THRONE.
Probably the point thai will occur to the
reader as mosl significant in connection with
the "Bill of Grievances." published in this
issue, is the fact that it should have been pre-
sented at all. Why. under a republican gov-
ernment, should there be any nee,! of peti-
tioning certain individuals in that govern.
ment? The answer is simple when the facts
are recognized. The Government has e
to be republican except in form. The individ-
uals in question have grasped the substanes
of power, leaving only the shadow thereof to
the people's representatives. Whether we like
it or not, the fact remains that those wh<
relief by National legislation must go to the
Triumvirate and petition for it as humbly ami
as hopefully, or otherwise, as they may.
There is something strongly reminiscent in
the spectacle of President Gompers ami his
colleagues of the American Federation of
Labor, standing there before the King that
is, the President i, while the latter gracious!};
listens to the petition addressed to him by the
men of the Kentry. As we contemplate the
scene the figures in it seem to become identi-
fied, or rather confused, with those of then!
historical prototypes. It isn't the White
House, but the Spitalfields, that we now see.
That personage eying the King with patient
determination is Sam Tyler, or Wat G pen
— we can't quite determine in the rather misty
atmosphere. And that courtier sidling round
to the rear — . Look out Sam. or Wat. or
whatever be your name! Remember that a
courtier's business is to relieve his master
from embarrassing questions by relieving aim
of the questioner. My, how history repeats it-
self! How the Past rises up before the Pres-
ent and makes us doubt whether, after till, we
are not merely so many reembodied spirits of
a bygone age I
The reply id' President Roosevell would in-
dicate that that gentleman missed the point of
the whole proceeding. The President says
that the Writ of Injunction has not during his
administration been invoked againsl a com-
bination of laborers. This may be true, but
it has nothing to do with the case. The griev-
ance of labor in this connection isn't againsl
the Government, but against the private em-
ployer or corporation. Even President Roose-
velt, had he seen fit to meet the issue, could
not have denied that injunctions are wrong-
fully issued in innumerable instances of pri-
vate disputes. Similarly, when the President
points to the decrease in the numbers of Chi-
nese in the United States, he points to some-
thing that every one is aware of. Labor de-
sires to insure the maintenance of the existing
Exclusion law, but the President, while as-
suming to agree with that position insists upon
a modification which he must know would viti-
ate the law. All in all, the President's reply
was more politic than pointed. As for the
reply of Speaker Cannon, it was mete gar-
rulity.
The action of the Executive Council of tic
American Federation of Labor in declaring
that it will appeal to the "conscience and sup-
port " of the public has been misconstrued in
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
many places. It has been assumed that this
action forecasts an abandonment of the Fed-
ration's policy in political matters, and that
hereafter the latter will advocate the "labor-
in-politics" idea of its critics. This, as we un-
derstand the case, is a mistake. In advocating
that the people, and especially the working
people, should elect to Congress and other leg-
islative bodies men who can be trusted to serve
the people's interests, rather than those of the
people's masters and enemies, the American
Federation of Labor is doing what it has done
right along since its inception. If there is to
be any departure in the near future, the peo-
ple themselves must make that departure. In
other words, the people — trade-unionists and
all other classes — must do as the Federation
has always suggested and urged that they do.
The "Bill of Grievances," the mode of its
presentation and the character of the replies
made to that document should open the eyes
of the public at large to the situation that con-
fronts it and demonstrate the necessity of
prompt action to alter that situation before
it becomes irremediable. The governing power
of the country has fallen into the hands of a
few men — has become practically an oligar-
chy. The so-called representatives of the peo-
ple are merely so many pawns on the board,
useful to the real powers as a means of main-
taining appearances and dangerous to the peo-
ple by reason of their own subserviency.
What the country needs, what it must have if
it is to continue a free country — what the
American Federation of Labor now, as here-
tofore, advises — is a radical change in the per-
sonnel of the Government, the election of men
who will go back to first principles and govern
the country in accordance with the will of the
people, rather than by the dictates of concen-
trated wealth and the power of politics. Such
;i change is desirable and necessary, even if
only for its own sake, since it would demon-
strate that the power to make that change still
lies in the hands of the people themselves, and
that the wrongs suffered by the latter are due,
not to defects in the system of government,
but to the people's neglect of their own re-
sponsibilities and duties under that system.

time, so that the committee might not be required to
come to a vote and the bill might not be reported
to the House.
That has been the feature of the committee, with
the exception of the chairman. Mr. Gardner has been,
we have found him, a profound student of economics ;
a profound, deep thinker upon this great problem — a
practical man dealing with the practical side and the
legislative side, so far as bills and laws are concerned.
He has done his level best to render effective serv-
ice upon that committee, but his associates of the ma-
jority particularly have been like adamant against
every attempt on the part of the representatives of la-
bor to ask a favorable report upon a bill in which la-
bor is interested. 1 want to thank you for your
courtesy.
The Speaker — The particular matter to which you
refer does not recur to me. I will call your attention,
however, to the fact that all committees of the House
have some matter which affects labor. The Judiciary
Committee has a Personal Liability bill; the Foreign
Affairs Committee has pending the proposed modifi-
cation bill to amend the Chinese Exclusion law, which
may or may not pass; the Appropriations Committee
recommended that section of the bill which affected
the Eight-Hour law as applied to alien labor, and (he
Ways and Means Committee, in its great Revenue
hill, frequently reports provisions affecting labor. I
thank you again, gentlemen.
Mr. Gompers — There is no question that the work is
distributed to all the committees, but that of which wo
complain is that the policy has been to ignore and be
hostUe to labor.
The Speaker — I do not accept that criticism as a
just criticism for the committees of the House of Rep-
resentatives.

In witness whereof, the Lake Carriers' As-

scribed and made on its behalf; and the said

Marine Notes.
Representative McMorran, of Port Huron,
has introduced a joint resolution in Congress,
directing the Secretary of "War to cause an ex-
amination and survey to be made for a chan-
nel or cut between Russell's Island and Brand
Point, in the St. Clair River, with a view of
obtaining the shortest direct channel. The
resolution has the approval of the War De-
partment, and every endeavor will be made to
have favorable consideration secured in the
House and Senate.
A Life-Saving station is to be installed at
Rogers Park, Chicago. This is the announce-
ment made by Captain McClellan, Superin-
tendent of the United States Life-Saving
Service, who arrived at Chicago from Wash-
ington to make an inspection of the shore. He
has selected a spot between Greenleaf and
Pratt avenues. This comes as a result of the
efforts of Dr. L. L. Davis, Commodore of the
Rogers Park Boat Club. The boat club is to
furnish the crew and care for the service.
The Dunkley-Williams line and the Michi-
gan Steamship Company, owner of the steam-
er East Land, have consolidated. Patrick
Noud, of Manistee, President of the Michigan
Steamship Company, states that the deal has
been consummated and that the new company
will be called the Chicago and South Haven
line. George T. Arnold, of Chicago, former
manager of the Dunkley company, and last
season manager of the Arnold line steamers
at Mackinac Island, is the head of the new
company, with A. H. Cochrane as assistant
manager.
For two years the Goodrich line has been
considering adding another vessel to its Lake
Michigan fleet and it had been expected that
the coming summer would see a contract
placed for the vessel which, according to the
plans already drawn, would cost about $200,-
000. The burning of the steamer Atlanta, off
Sheboygan, recently, may make this decision
certain. The company will be forced to lease
or build pending the rebuilding of the Atlanta,
even if this is possible. It is not believed,
from a cursory examination of the wrecked
hulk, that the Atlanta can be rebuilt.
The Wisconsin Central Railway Company
has just completed the sale of its large coal
and commercial freight dock at Ashland. The
purchasers are men at the head of a new in-
dependent coal company, which is now getting
incorporation papers, at Madison. The Wis-
consin Central dock was built more than fif-
teen years ago at a cost estimated to be more
than $100,000. It is the only large freight
dock at Ashland, and is by far the finest dock
property on Chequamegon Bay. F. O. Tar-
box, formerly division superintendent of the
Northwestern Railway, will manage the prop-
erty and the local coal business of the com-
pany, which will be known as the Central Dock-
Company. The purchase price is not given.
The Interstate and Foreign Committee of
the House of Representatives agreed to report
favorably the bill introduced by Representa-
tive Otjen calling for a beacon light to guard
vessels entering Milwaukee harbor. This bea-
con light for mariners is to be placed on the
south end of the harbor of refuge pier and
will have a third-order flash light and will be
equipped with a fog signal. The tower con-
taining the light will be about 100 feet high
and the original cost will be in the neighbor-
hood of $200,000 when completed. This will
be the main light that will guard all shipping
in the harbor of refuge as well as into the
harbor of Milwaukee. The committee also
agreed to favorably report a bill carrying an
appropriation of $100,000 for a lighthouse on
Rock of Ages, in Lake Superior.

New Naval Construction.
Thai the nation which has probably done
more than any other to develop the art of
fighting at sea, should further advance that
art by the construction of an extreme type of
battleship that is calculated to relegate all
other battleships to the scrap heap is the i <■-
casion of considerable editorial commenl in
the American press. The bitterness of the in-
ternational contest for sea power is shown in
the intense interest manifested whenever a
battleship is launched, but from the way our
papers speak of England's latest naval
"marvel", those nations that fail to keep u\
Ihe pace set by her might as well place then
warships in glass cases for curiosities. The
Dreadnought, the much-discussed battleship,
will displace about 18,500 tons and have a
speed of about twenty-one knots. All other
details of her construction are kept absolutely
secret. But several of her leading features
are considered to be well understood. Slit1 will
be the heaviest ever known. She was designed
to embody the lessons taught by the nava.
battles of the Eusso- Japanese war. "It is in
Ihe armor and armament that the fruits of
war experience are probably to be seen," de-
clares the Cleveland Plain Dealer, which goes
on to give us the following information: The
Dreadnought's armor will be thick enough to
make the ship invulnerable at ordinary battli
ranges. The new vessel will cany no loss than
ten 12-inch guns, and in addition to these.
only eighteen 3-inch quick-firing pieces, foi
use against torpedo crafts. In the past battle
ships have carried four 12-inch guns. The
Plain Dealer, quoted above, says of the new
warship :
"The British admiralty seems justified in
claiming that the successful launch of the bat
tleship Dreadnought marks the first stage in
the greatest achievement in naval construction.
The new vessel is the largest, most heavily
armed and armored warship in existence or
yet contemplated by any power save Greal
Britain. * * *
"Altogether the new Dreadnought is cer-
tain to upset a good many now accepted naval
notions and set a new fashion. Fortunately
the United States has plans for several new
warships in which those of her features which
appeal to our contractors can be incorpor-
ated."
Xol the least wonderful thing about the
Dreadnought is the unprecedented rapidity
with which the work on her has been pushed.
Work began on the vessel on October 2, last,
and thi- hull was launched in four months from
ihe laying of her keel. It is the Admiralty's in-
tention to have the vessel ready for service in
a year more. This will make the ship only
sixteen months in construction, which the
Brooklyn Times says is "an unexampled and
important feat in warship building, when one
considers that it takes this country four years,
and frequently more, to build a vessel of less
than the size of the Dreadnought."
But the Brooklyn Eagle, in noting also the
advance made in torpedo boat construction.
makes the following remarks:
"Should this ship prove to be the success
the Admiralty expects her to be, the system
of arming warships of that size must even-
where experience a revolution. Naval archi-
tects will await with intense interest the re-
sults of the Dreadnought's first sea-going
trials, when, we suppose, she will be subjected
to the extreme test of having her ten big guns
fired simultaneously. If there be no serious
strain visible from that terrific concussion, the
Dreadnought may confidently engage in the
most severe encounter with other battleships
which the fortunes of war can possibly force
upon her. But it is significant that whil<
more than a million pounds has linn spent in
floating and arming this monster of the deep,
while experts are predicting that her advent
will render obsolete the navies of the world,
the most deadly enemy of her tribe is becom-
ing more perfect in its work. No matter what
the precautions taken to protect the bull <->'
the Dreadnought, it, is inconceivable that it
could lone withstand the torpedo attacks de-
livered below the water line by the tiny sub
marine. Unless the great naval nations of the
world agree among themselves to eliminate the
submarine as a treacherous and unfair ensrine
of war, the Dreadnougbts of to-day and of to.
morrow will eventuallv belie their name."

The following Agreement, covering Long-
shore work on Oakland Long Wharf, has been
made by and between the Longshore Lumber-
men's Protective Association of San Francis-
co and the Longshore Lumber Handlers' As-

Longshore Lumbermen's Protective Associa-
tion of San Francisco have been engaged by
Stevedore Finn or Ship Owner to discharge
a whole cargo at the said Oakland Long
Wharf.
2. When a Vessel discharges part of her
cargo in Oakland Creek and the rest at Oak-
land Long Wharf, the members of the Lum-
ber Handlers' Association of Oakland shall
have the right to finish discharging such car-
go at Oakland Long Wharf.
3. If a Firm of Contracting Stevedores
sends a Foreman, member of the Longshore
Lumbermen's Protective Association of San
Francisco, to a Vessel discharging in Oakland
Creek, the members of the Lumber Hand
iers' Union of Oakland agree to work for and
with such Foreman.
4. It is further agreed and understood that
if either Union is short of men to perform
their work on Oakland Long Wharf, members
of the other Union shall be employed to Hll the
complement.

Justice Harlan, of the United States

about to retire from the bench, as re-
ported in some quarters.
The Christian Herald sent in another
cheek for $25,000 to the State Depart-
ment, through the Red Cross, for trans-
mittal to Japan for the relief of the
famine sufferers. This makes the total
remittance from this source of $125, 000.
Martha S. Gielow of Alabama, Presi-
dent of the Southern Industrial Educa-
tion Association, in an address at Ply-
mouth Church, Brooklyn, recently, re-
ported that there are 2,000,000 native
whites in the Appalachian region who
were unable to read or write.
The House of Representatives, on
March 30, passed the Legislative, Execu-
tive and Judicial Appropriation bill,
carrying $30,000,000, after considering
the measure two weeks. The clause re-
ducing the wages of clerks over sixty-
five years of age was defeated on a point
of order.
The officers and employes of a wireless
telegraph concern in New York have re-
ported that on March 28 five hundred and
seventy-two words were flashed across the
Atlantic Ocean from Coney Island to the
coast of Ireland, a distance of 3200
miles, without the use of cables, wires or
any other medium than the atmosphere.
This is said to mark the record for wire-
less telegraphy.
The trustees of the New York Life In-
surance Company, who were members of
the finance committee during the Presi-
dential campaigns of 1896, 1900 and 1904,
and were cognizant of the political con-
tributions made by the New York Life,
have agreed to personally reimburse the
company to the extent of $148,000, the
amount of the political contributions to
the Republican campaign fund.
Judge Thomas W. Dodd, of Mexico,
vice-president and attorney of the Mexi-
can division of the National Railroad of
Mexico, says that it is the policy of the
Mexican Government to own all railroads
in Mexico. It is only a question of time
until all the roads in Mexico will be
owned by the Mexican Government. The
Mexican Central will be owned by the
Government before many years.
The New York State branch of the
American Red Cross Society, in issuing
an appeal for the famine sufferers in
Japan, says that the failure of the rice
crop has been found to be general in the
northern provinces of Japan, and con-
servative estimates place the number of
starving Japanese from 800,000 to 1,-
000,000 persons. There is no relief in
sight until next October, when a new
harvest will be available. The sum of
$16,000,000 will be required to save the
Japanese country people.
The Norwegian steamer America ar-
rived at Philadelphia, Pa., recently from
Kingston, Jamaica, and reported having
spoken the Norwegian steamer Gwent,
from Brunswick for Colon, on March 8,
with three of her four steel barges adrift.
The Gwent was passed off the treacherous
Florida coast and a gale was raging at
the time. The breaking adrift of the
barges was the fourth occurrence since
the tow left Brunswick. The high seas
made it impossible for Captain Ostervold,
of the America, to render any assistance,
and the fate of the barges and their crews
is not known.
Captain James Durie, of the Donald
yteamship Company's steamer Lillu, now
;if Philadelphia, Pa., has been succeeded
by Captain Hopkins, formerly marine
superintendent at Baltimore, for the At-
lantic Fruit Company. Captain Durie
will go to England to take command of a
new steamer, built there for the Donald
Company, and fitted up in a modern way
for carrying fruit from the tropics to
Atlantic ports.

Court.
The Melbourne (Australia) Trades
Hall Council has received letters protest-
ing against the proposals to bring a
French scientist to New South Wales to
conduct experiments for the destruction
of rabbits by disease. The writers con
tend that the rabbits COuid be checked by
trapping, and that the introduction of
disease would destroy an industry which
gave employment to thousands of men,
and circulated in the inland towns more
money than was done by any other in-
dustry.
The discontent in the ranks of the
Sydney (Australia) boot trade workers
has been accentuated by the emplo;
refusal to meet the men in conference
rning better working arrangements.
Union officials state that if they can not
get something like a fair decision from
the Arbitration Court in the ease to be
submitted, the unionists intend to start
a co-operative factory. This will im-
prove the position altogether, they 'on
tend, and as the employers have decided
to ignore the union label the unionists
must do somthing for their own protec-
tion. They will rely upon educating the
working people up to buying label goods.
The rapid extension of the French
miners' strike is causing great anxiety
to the authorities. It is estimated that
nearly 80,000 men have ceased work,
and mining operations are at a stand-
still throughout the departments of Pas
de Calais and Nord. The Government,
although it has taken the precaution of
drawing a large body of troops and gen
darmes to the vicinity, is acting with ex-
treme tact, ami making no display of its
forces during the miners' processions,
which are permitted without molesta-
tion, while Minister of the Interior
Clemenceau is endeavoring to do his ut-
most to effect a conciliation between
the men and the companies.

A
Seaman's
Wages
Depends on his knowledge of his
calling. The more he knows of
his business the higher his posi-
tion— the better his pay. There
are many men nowserving before
the mast who would make excel-
lent officers had they the
technical training necessary for
such positions. It is for these
men that the International Cor-
respondence Schools have issued
their Courses in Ocean and Lake
Navigation. The I. C. S. method
of training by mail has many
advantages for the ambitious
seaman. He studies in his spare
time, wherever he happens to be,
as we will reach him wherever
the mails go. By our method
any seaman who is able to read
and write can advance in his
profession. You have no books
to buy.

News from Abroad.
Three revolutionists were recently sen-
tenced to death at Riga, Russia, for
breaking into a store and stealing am-
munition.
The new Customs tariff passed the
Japanese Diet on March 27 with slight
amendments. The average rate of duty
is 13 per cent. The bill is decidedly pro-
tective and retaliatory.
A Christopher Columbus monument is
to be placed at the Vatican, at Rome.
Rev. Thomas F. Delaney, of New Or-
leans, has been appointed to receive
funds in the United States for the
monument.
Costa Gerakaris was sentenced to death
at Athens, Greece, on March 12 for the
assassination of Premier Delyannis, and
Mitsea, the proprietor of a gambling-
house and the instigator of the assassi-
nation, was condemned to eight years '
penal servitude.
An airship company, having as its
definite object to conduct an experiment
with war craft, has been formed at Ber-
lin, Germany. The directors are hard-
headed persons who take up the matter
from patriotic impulses and with the pat-
ronage of the Emperor.
The first smoking car ever reserved for
women in Great Britain left a London
terminus on March 21 for Liverpool.
The windows bore a label reading : ' ' La-
dies ' Smoking." The innovation attests
the spread of smoking among English
women during recent years.
The Russian Government has prepared
a naval programme involving the ex-
penditure of $100,000,000 during the
next two years, of which amount British
shipbuilders will secure a good share.
The sum of $25,000,000 has been allotted
for four first-class battleships similar to
those now building for Japan.
The sensational reports recently cir-
culated, to the effect that the execution
of former Lieutenant Schmidt, the lead-
er of the naval mutiny at Sebastopol, in
November last, had been followed by an
extensive mutiny of sailors at Sebastopol
on March 21, turn out to be unfounded.
Lettish newspapers analyze the repres-
sive measures of the Russian Government
in the Baltic provinces from December 14
to February 14. The military hanged
fourteen persons and shot 621. Three
hundred and twenty were killed in armed
encounters and 251 were flogged. Ninety-
seven farm houses, twenty-two town
dwellings, four schools, two town halls
and three club-houses were burned.
The evidence taken in the course of the
investigation into the surrender of Port
Arthur by Lieutenant-General Stoessel,
which will probably drag on for six
weeks longer, will heavily damage the
reputation of Stoessel, who is now de-
manding that General Nogi 'and other
Japanese commanders' be summoned as
witnesses to testify to the heroic, charac-
ter of the defense.
The British House of Commons, on
March 21, rejected by 378 to 110 votes
a motion by Joseph Chamberlain, for-
merly Colonial Secretary, recommending
the appointment of a Royal Commis-
sion to inquire into the economic and
moral effect of Chinese labor in tin-
Transvaal. A motion was passed by a
majority of 220 votes, censuring Lord
Milner, formerly High Commissioner for
South Africa, for authorizing the flog-
ging of Chinese coolies.
A council of war recently held at
Rennes, France, sentenced Major Hery
to a year's imprisonment and Captains
Claret and Spiral each to a day's im-
prisonment for refusing to command
their troops to enter a local church and
assist in the taking of an inventory, in
accordance with the law providing for
the separation of Church and State. The
defense claimed that the execution of
civilian processes was not part of the
duties of the army.

Labor News.
Street-car men :tl Winnipeg, Man.,
went on strike for higher wages on
March 29.
Street-ear men of Oakland, Cal., have
voted to strike unless their demands for
increased wages and other improvements
are conceded.
A contractor on the Western Pi
Railroad, in Butte County, Cal., has dis-
charged 700 Japanese laborers and em-
ployed whites in their places.
Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, 111., has
thrown down the bars which have pre-
vented the organization of the police
force into what amounts to a labor
union.
The striking plumbers of Cincinnati)
O., after being out for only two days,
resumed work on March 30, having reach-
ed a compromise agreement with their
employers.
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, has indorsed the
action of the Philedelphia (Pa.) Central
Labor Union in suspending the Brewery
Workers' Union for defying the Central
Labor Union.
Ex-Judge George D. Gear, of Hono-
lulu, T. IL, announces that he has re-
ceived a commission from a mainland
client to recruit 10,000 Japanese laborers
in Hawaii for work on the Coast. He
does not disclose who his clients are,
nor where the Japanese are wanted, or
for what service.
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, has declined an in-
vitation extended himself and President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
by Governor Gooding, of Idaho, to hear
the confessions of Orchard and Adams
against Mover, Haywood and Pettibone,
upon the ground that the statements of
these men, being ex parte, would prove
nothing.
The singular fact that thousands of
children of school age have residences on
coal barges in the East or North Bivers
has been brought to the attention of the
New York Board of Education. By an
investigation of the facts, it is learned
that from 2000 to 4000 children of
school age have residences on the coal
barges alone, and simply from the transi-
tory condition of their residence have nor
had the least opportunity to acquire
the rudiments of an education.
The strike of the coal miners at Leth
bridge, Alberta, has caused so much un-
easiness among the citizens that they
have called upon the Dominion Govern
meat to render assistance, and the North-
west Mounted Police have been placed in
control of the town. Practically martial
law prevails. F. II. Sherman, President
of the Union, says that the strike may be
extended to other mines within the dis
trict, which includes Alberta and British
Columbia, unless an agreement is soon
readied. Many of the smaller towns in
Alberta are on the verge of a coal fam-
ine.
According to a decision handed down
n ntly by Justice Bischoff, in the New
York Supreme Court, union wages must
prevail when the city is an employer.
There is a statutory provision requiring
the city to pay "the prevailing rate of
wages." .lames .1. Carey, a painter, who
was employed in New York city repair
shops, sued to recover the amount alleged
to be due him as the difference between
his daily wage as a painter in the city
repair shops and the prevailing rate of
wages. After being employed from May
17, 1897, Carey, on November 29, 1898,
served notice on the Comptroller, setting
forth that he received but $3 a day, while
the prevailing rate of wages was $3.50.
This contention is upheld by the Supreme
Court. It is said that enough city em-
ployes are in the same category as (any
to force the city to refund $1, nun, Hon if
they inst itute suits.

Domestic and Naval,
Eighty-five lives were lost and fifty-
four ships were wrecked along the coast
of New England and the maritime prov-
inces during the past winter.
The United ' States derelict destroyer
Lebanon recently put to sea from Hamp-
ton Roads with orders to search for six
derelicts which are reported a danger to
navigation between Cape Henry and Dela-
ware Breakwater.
Great battleships like the 18,000-ton
British battleship Dreadnought are the
crying need of the American Navy, ac-
cording to Admiral Dewey, who appear-
ed before the House Comittee on Naval
Affairs recently to discuss the future of
the American Navy.
The Goodrich steamer Atlanta, which
sailed from Sheboygan, Wis., on March
18, for Milwaukee, was burned to the
water 's edge twelve miles south of the
first-named port. The Atlanta was valued
at about $150,000. Mike Hickey, a deck-
hand, was burned to death.
The steamer Major Reybold, which has
been undergoing extensive repairs and
overhauling in Salem, has been purchased
by Philadelphia parties, who will con-
tinue her on the line between Salem and
Philadelphia. The Major Reybold began
running on March 19.
It is believed that the experience of
the Navy Department in its efforts to
keep in touch with the dry dock Dewey in
its remarkable cruise from the Chesa-
peake Bay to the Philippines may result
in a concerted atempt to secure interna-
tional control within certain limits of
wireless telegraphy.
The twin-screw steamer Tennessee, of
the Baltimore Steam Packet Company,
has been sold to the Jay Steamboat Com-
pany, of New York. She was built at
Wilmington, Del., by the Harlan & Hol-
lingsworth Company, in 1898, and is a
first-class passenger vessel, with a capac-
ity of about 300 tons of freight.
It is reported from Berlin that among
the preparations Germany has made
against all eventualities in connection
with the international situation is an ar-
rangement for the transfer of the chief
steamship lines to Americans in case of
war. She expects by this course to es-
cape the loss by capture of the vessels.
The three-masted schooner Ida B. Gib-
son, which was stranded on North Beach,
Md., and brought to Philadelphia, Pa.,
has been attached by Peter Wright &
Sons for salvage claims. The schooner
was badly battered by the recent gales
that swept the Atlantic Coast and would
probably have foundered but for the as-
sistance rendered by the tugs.
Oliver E. Cromwell, chairman of the
regatta committee of the New York
Yacht Club has been unofficially inform-
ed that Sir Thomas Lipton will be a
competitor with the Shamrock III, the
unsuccessful American's Cup challenger
against the Reliance, in the race off
Newport in August for the cup offered
by King Edward VII.
Captain Claussen, of the Norwegian
steamer Rauma, at Philadelphia, Pa.,
from Santiago, reported that on March
11, about forty miles north of Cape Hat-
teras, he passed a wreck, the bowsprit
only extending above the water. A ship rs
boat, which had been smashed, and a
quantity of deals and planks floated in
the vicinity of the wreck.
Shipping men are of the opinion that
the five men who abandoned the Consoli-
dation Coal Company's barge off the
Delaware Capes recently have perished,
as no word has been received concerning
their rescue. The barge was one of three
in tow of the tug Cumberland. It sprung
a leak and filled so rapidly that the crew
of five had to take to the small boat. A
high sea was running at the time, and it
is feared the boat was swamped and the
men drowned.

SHIPOWNERS "STAND PAT."
Manning System Must Not Be Changed !
Evidence Proving Inefficiency of Steamers' Crews.
HE hearings on the Goulden Manning bill, before
the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisher-
ies of the House of Representatives, have elicited
the fact — or rather the confession, since the fact was
already widely known and officially attested — that the
owners of passenger steamers are aware of the char-
acter of the crews employed on their vessels; they know
that these men are inefficient for even the most com-
monplace duties of the seaman, and they insist that
a knowledge of seamanship is unnecessary in the man
ning scheme of the excursion and passenger trade.
Practically, the position of these shipowners is ex-
pressed by the familiar query: "What are you going
to do about it?"
la order that the members of Congress may be in-
formed as to the real status of the manning question
and the significance of the shipowners' attitude, ami
thus be able to vote intelligently on the Goulden bill,
Andrew Furuseth, the legislative representative of the
International Seamen 's Union of America, has ad-
dressed a letter to the individual members of Congress,
accompanied by certain excerpts from the testimony
given at the committee hearings. This letter and ac-
companying data are herewith reproduced, as follows:
Washington, D. C, March 28, 1906.
Dear Sir:
The great loss of life caused by the wreck of the
Rio de Janeiro, at the entrance to the harbor of San
Francisco, the burning of the Slocum, in the harbor
of New York, the wreck of the Valencia, on Van-
couver Island, all of which have been or are now being
investigated, either by commission or judicially, have
called sharply to the attention of the public three ques-
tions:
First. Are our passenger steamers properly and
efficiently manned; that is, have they a sufficient num-
ber of experienced seamen?
Second. Can the owners of these \essels be safely
intrusted with discretionary power either in the in-
dividual standard of men employed, or in the number
to be employed!
Third. Will it be sufficient to give to the Local
Hoards of Inspectors the power to determine the num-
ber to be employed without, at the same time provid-
ing a standard of efficiency in the men so employed,
specially those in the deck department of steamers .'
With reference to these quest inns, I respectfully
mbmit for your consideration the inclosed extract
from testimony taken by the Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries, on February 15, 190(5.
Respectfully yours,
A. PUEUSETH.
Following is the testimony and comment thereon
•eferred to by Mr. Furuseth:
In quoting from the report of the hearing, 1 pur-
losely omit the testimony given by the seamen, and
|uote only from statutes and regulations of this and
'ther countries, and from the testimony of the pas-
enger shipowners and their lawyers.
The Slocum Commission reported the reasons for the
oss of life as follows:
"The inefficiency and p ■ quality of the deck crew
this vessel, doubtless typical of the majority of
rews of excursion steamers, is one of the essential
acts that caused the loss of so many lives."
Page 38.)
"The Slocum was probably typical in almost all of
her conditions of many of the excursion boats in New
York Harbor, and doubtless elsewhere." (Page 39.)
"Marked inefficiency of crew was in this case, and
probably in most other excursion steamers, particularly
due to lack of organization and drill."
The Commission goes on to say: "It is the duty
of the mate to look after the cleanliness of the ship,
to see that the general equipment of the ship is ready
for service, that the crew are well disciplined and
THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THEIR DUTIES, to be ready
at all times to respond to the orders of his superior,
and to assist and control the passengers in case of
accident." Speaking of their ability to perform this
duty under existing conditions, the organization
known as the American Association of Masters, Mates
and Pilots, in their meeting from January 23 to 28,
1905, adopted the following resolution:
"Whereas, there is a decreasing standard of indi-
vidual efficiency in the men employed as sailors on pas-
senger steamers; and
"Whereas, the importance of having skilled men in
an emergency can not be replaced by any rules of
equipment or inspection, no matter how strict; and
' ' Whereas, we are held responsible by the public
for accidents for which in justice we can not be blam-
ed, being often compelled to go to sea with men void
of all experience ; and
"Whereas, there seems no remedy for this condi-
tion except by the adoption of rules compelling pas-
senger steamers to carry experienced seamen; there
fore be it
"Resolved, That we urge upon the Department of
Commerce and Labor the adoption of a standard of in-
dividual efficiency in all men employed as seamen on
such vessels ; and further
"Resolved, That no passenger vessel shall be allow-
ed to carry able-seamen as such unless they can show
three years' or more experience at sea in the deck de-
partment, at least one of which must have been in a
sailing vessel or sea-going fishing vessel." (Page 4i',
Hearings.)
Mr. Goulden, on page '■'■i, says: "1 am the author
of this bill and am responsible for it. Had
you gentlemen gone through the harrowing and sad
experience that I did in connection with the Slocum
inquest matter, where I sat for six days listening to
the most horrible descriptions of the few survivors,
more or less disfigured, and others who had witnessed
the affair, I think you would feel as I do."
And again :
"The fact is that the majority of our excursion
steamboats in the harbor of New York measured Up
to about the standard of the Slocum prior to that ac
eident. * I know that the Grand Republic
was no better, and many of the steamers of the Stariu
Line were about in the same condition. It
was with the idea of checking the possibility of such
terrible disasters as that of the Slocum that this legis-
lation was brought to your consideration. There is no
doubt that not a single human life would have been
lost had the crew been the least effective in the ease
of the Slocum. There were only one or two men on
deck — two men, a deckhand and a mate, who had been
on the boat the previous year. The rest were men who
had been picked from the docks."
As dealing with the second question, 1 desire to call
your attention to the standard of individual efficiency
and the number of such men needed according to the
judgment of those who testified. Mr. Goulder, repre-
senting the Association of Passenger Steamship Lines,
said :
"There are a number of practical men who have
come here to give you information as to the safety
of the ships and what can be done. I shall try to voice
some of the things that they have told me." (Page 5.)
"Now these gentlemen from New York and all over the
country told me that they do not need able-seamen, in
any sense that we can understand it, on board their
ships. They have their licensed officers, the
helmsmen and quartermasters (different names for
the same men), and some vessels have a boatswain,
and they have all the men necessary for that purpose. '
(Page 7.) * * " What they endeavor to do is to get
men to stay with them as long as they can, and to train
these men up in the passenger business, which is es-
sentially different from the business of sailing on a
ship. ' ' (Page 7.)
As showing the kind of men employed, I quote the
following:
A bonus to any man who would

' ' Mr. Goulden :
' ' Mr. Goulder :
Yes, sir, ami that is one of our
To what do you attribute it?
The men that go as deckhands,
handling freight on these boats, are not the highest
class of men, and a good many of them get some money
and then leave; they are a drifting lot of
people. But we do find quite a number who
have that ambition to be advanced. * ~ But a
man who starts as a deckhand, and has any ambition
and has any ability, does not stay three years as a
deckhand. Before three years, frequently before three
months, he is appointed a watchman." (Page 8.)
"Mr. Goulden: What length of time do you re-
gard as sufficient to make a man a good ordinary sea-
man on a passenger steamer, so that he could take the
position of watchman or anything of the sort — an effi-
cient man?
"Mr. Goulder: That varies with individuals.
There might be men who could do it in thirty days.
* * And a man had better leave the calling if he
could not do that in three months with proper instruc-
tions. ' '
Mr. (iuillaudeu, on page 15, says: "Addressing my-
self immediately to the point as to what experience
should characterize the crew, I reach this conclusion
inevitably, that under the presold system we prac-
tically grade the men. That which, if I speak rightly,
was accomplished in the old days by the grade of able-
seaman, we now accomplish on our steamers by the
petty officer and unlicensed officer. (Two names for
the same men.) If I may speak as to the look-
outs, we have trained watchmen who have no other
duties. We have the quartermasters, the helmsmen, the
trained steering men (three words meaning the
same men and the same thing), and the first, sec
ond and third officers. So that 1 claim that under the
practice of the great lines you obtain what you look
for here.'' Ami later on, answering the following
question of Mr. Goulden: "What time would you fix
to make a man effective?" Mr. ( Iuillaudeu answered:
"Thirty days as a minimum, provided the Inspectors'
rules are carried out that they shall be drilled every
trip in boat drill ami lire drill. ' '
Accord'\g to their own definition, the City of De-
troit, which has a crew of some eighty, has, under
definition of skilled men given by the owners them-
selves, thirteen, including the master, out of a crew of

patrolmen (whatever thai may be) who, according to
the definition, may have had experience ranging from
one month up. (Page 47.)

(That is, always following their own line of definition
as t.i efficiency. See testimony of Cuillaudeu.)
These vessels are manned according to the owners'
discretion; neither law nor custom interfering with
their powers in the matter.
The standard of experience exacted for men wno
desire to lie examined for officers is as follows:
••No person shall receive :m original license a
mate of ocean steamers who has not had three years'
experience on ocean or coastwise steam vessels or sail
vessels of :'>(M> gross tons and upward as cadet or a
sianian; provided, that any person holding a li<
as third mate who has had two years' experience
said license as quartermaster on vessels of 2,500 gross
tons an. I over shall be entitled to examination for sec
olid mate 's license. "
The English standard is as follows: "A seaman
Shall not lie entitled to the rating of A. B., that if
say, of an able-bodied seaman, unless he has served
at sea for four years before the mast, bul the emploj
meiit of fisherman in decked fishing vessels registerol

nient, and the rating of A. 1'.. shall only be granted
after at least one year'- sea service in a trading ves-
sel in addition to three or more years' sea servic I

is the existing English statute.)
The British Commission recommended: "We advise

nineteen years of age or over, and have had tl
vears' service at sea as a deckhand." (Pag(
"Thai no man should he permitted to I"' employed as

The German regulations will be seen to requin

Dealing with the third question: Page 41 of the
Bearings shows that it has been necessary to give to the
inspectors a definite standard by which to judge the
efficiency of boats and their appliances, the buoyancy
,,f life-rafts, carrying capacity of life-boats; the
buoyancy of life-boats, drags, or floating anchors;
the equipment as to life-boats, lifeboats themselves;
ladders or steps required on steamers; notices 81
where life-preservers are posted; steering apparatus,
etc., running through practically the entire list
equipments as to a vessel ami her appliances.
Bearing in mind the standard skill and the numb r
of skilled men sufficient, according to tl wners' own
estimate, ami that appliances are good only in so far
they are properly used, is not a standard of skill
in men necessary to guide the Inspectors?
In conclusion, I beg to call attention to this raiiur
significant testimony given by Mr. Goulder: " Tho
owners are willing— I would be willing here to make
the proposition— that if there is no other way, that if
we have to economize in the administration of our
government, that the money can not be afforded by
The government, that we undertake to raise from the
passenger men money enough to furnish sufficient In

Canals in France.
The commercial, industrial, tun! agricultural
awakening <>i' tin- entire center of France, as
a result of the work undertaken for the im-
provement of navigation from Nantes to Or-
leans, and eastward, must give a propulsion
to business transactions of every nature, na-
tional and international. The extensions will
include Angers, Saumur, Tours, and Brain'.
and at the latter place connection will be
made with the canal and river system of all
.astern France, Switzerland and Germany.
The port of Nantes itself was on the de-
cline, on account of navigation difficulties, un-
til the canal was dug in 1892 cutting off an
elbow in the river. The tonnage handled at.
Nantes advanced in 1893 to 543,000 tons. This
has steadily increased, the tonnage in 1904 be-
ing 1,175,000 tons. To provide for future
over-sea traffic the canal is being deepened,
and Nantes looks for a depth of 26 feet in the
course of four to seven years. So the promo-
tion of Nantes as a first-class seaport is keep-
ing pace with the work of opening up the up-
per Loire to navigation.
A Tow days ago we received a request, from
mil' nf the New York newspapers, asking ns
to wire our opinion upon the boycott in China
against American goods, and asking further:
"To what is it due? Will relief in present
restrictive laws tend to stop boycott? What
is your opinion as to wisdom of changing
the law in relation to its effect on American
labor? Please add any general statement or
suggestion pertaining to the matter as a
whole."
Because of the general interest which labor
has in this subject, we herewith give our an-
swer:
The boycott on American goods in China is
at present largely over-stated, and is rather a
movement against all foreigners than a move-
ment especially against American goods and
American action as regards our relations to
China.
The American Federation of Labor sent
sonic time ago a representative to the Orient
with instructions to investigate into conditions,
but with especial reference to the Philippines.
Tin substance of the report from this repre-
sentative was that there existed and was grow-
ing a strong resentment on the part of the
coolie against our Exclusion laws; that there
is an equally strong, if not stronger, objection
to the policy of this country on the part of
Europeans living in China and the Philip-
pines, for the same reason. Especially did
they resent tiny prohibition against the import-
ation of Chinese into the Philippine Islands;
and further, that these latter interests seem
to be working in close accord with the Asiatic
Association in the United States, for the pur-
pose of producing the condition which is now
giving so much apprehension to our exporters.
The stay-at-home sentiment of China is
wearing away, and they are seeking outlets
towards high wage countries. They are en-
couraged in this by those in the high wage
countries who complain and desire to reduce
the existing wage.
Changes in the existing Exclusion laws
would not have the slightest effect to stop the
boycott. What they do need they will buy,
and what products of our civilization they do
not need they will not buy when living here,
and therefore much less will they buy it in
China. Nothing could be more disastrous than
the changing of our Exclusion laws, whether
it be regarded as relating to labor solely, or to
the maintenance of our occidental form of civ-
ilization.
The influx of Chinese coolies must inevit-
ably reduce our present standard of wage, and
the effect thereof will be felt in every relation
of life. It will interefere with the number of
marriages, the raising and schooling of chil-
dren, and what results it may have upon the
public peace would be easier imagined than
described.
The flood may be checked now, in spite of
i he lack of unity in the white race. To check
it after it litis assumed greater proportions,
and industry and other phases of life have
been profoundly influenced by a large influx,
would be next to impossible.
Races that do not blend destroy each
other, and in the industrial struggle it
the best but the cheapest that survive.
To relax in any manner our present none
too-effective Chinese Exclusion laws, would,
in my opinion, be to invite, not to check, the
"yellow peril," so often spoken of as military,
when, :is a matter of fact, it is industrial.
1 hope that the working people of this coun-
try, and that the people of this country gener-
ally, may be spared the result which would in-
evitably follow from any yielding to either
the clamor of the Chinese, the pleadings of
the exporters, or the puerile sentimentality of
our
missionaries.
These views fully apply to the effort of
those who would reverse the policy of our Gov-
ernment, as expressed by the existing Chinese
Exclusion low, which, by the way, is none too
effective in the manner it is now administered.

Life of a Laborer.
Count Atwell, of Roubaix, France, reports
a resolution passed by the French Chamber
of Deputies requesting the Government to ap-
point a commission to look into the question
of finding ways and means to organize an in-
ternational exposition to be held in Paris in
1909 in which there will be as full and perfect
a display as possible of a laborer's life. The
consul says:
"At the first meeting of this commission,
held recently in Paris at the Department of
Commerce, -Mr. Dubief, Minister of Com-
merce, who presided, set forth the advantages
to be derived from a universal exposition, also
the difficulties to be encountered in attaining
the end desired.
"Mr. Leon Bourgeois, President of the
French Chamber, followed with remarks con-
cerning the object lesson of such an exposi-
tion as the one contemplated. It would serve,
he thought, as a comparison between the con-
ditions of the life of the laborer of today in
all countries of the world and conditions ex-
isting in past centuries. It would serve also
as a striking illustration to the laboring
classes of the steps by which they have grad-
ually freed themselves from the state of servi-
tude existing in feudal times until they have
arrived at the independence enjoyed today.
It would enlighten them as to legislation en-
acted for their relief and protection through
successive centuries, also concerning the work
of social organizations occupied with their
advancement. The idea is a novel one, and
this exposition cannot fail to appeal to al!
who strive to elevate the condition of the la-
borer. ' '
Value of Naval Architects.
There is, says the Glasgow Herald, a gen-
eral tendency to reduce shipbuilding more and
more to a fine art; to appreciate more and
more the value of technical training given
naval architects, and of the thorough knowl-
edge of the trade of the world. The move-
ment in favor of a chair of Naval Architecture
at Liverpool and another at Newcastle is gain-
ing ground. Even with these and the one at
Glasgow, Great Britain will be far behind Ger-
many and the United States in facilities for
technical training. The countries named were
the first to realize the value of technical edu-
cation, and they produced early a large num-
ber of students capable of becoming leaders
in their different walks of life. Concludintr
the Herald says: In its lack of scientific
training Great Britain lost ground in ship-
building for nearly a century prior to 1860.
and to maintain the supremacy of the sea she
must see that a race of naval architects is
trained to take over the profession as tin- pres-
ent generation retires from the field we are
occupying so creditably.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
On the Atlantic Coast. —
(Contributed by the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Unions.)
Seamen and Seamanship.
The recent article, "Tests in Seamanship,"
in which the present writer referred to the
time-honored custom of the seaman whose ef-
ficiency has been challenged, to present him-
self to a man-o'-war boatswain for examina-
tion, has elicited several queries from readers
of the Journal. Some of these ask wherein
the qualifications of an able-seaman differ
from those of an ordinary-seaman. Others
are curious as to the kind of stunts they would
be put through by the boatswain of a man-o'-
war should they apply to him to examine
them in seamanship.
There have never, in the United States,
been any statutory definitions of the qualifica-
tions of a seaman. This neglect on the part
of our lawmakers to provide an authorized
standard of skill for seamen is no doubt due
to the common, though nowadays hardly war-
ranted, presumption of landsmen that ship-
owners from motives of self-interest will in-
sist upon a high standard of efficiency. But,
there has been a rule in existence over a hun-
dred years amply providing for this contin-
gency. This is the rule relating to the num-
ber of seamen a vessel must carry, and their
individual skilly which Lloyd's Insurance
Company, Limited, formulated early in its
corporate existence. Owing to the introduc-
tion of steam as motive power and changes
in rig, sails, etc., Lloyd's manning scale has,
with some reason, been discarded; but its
standard of efficiency for seamen is still none
too high, especially when applied to sailing
vessels. Briefly, this standard embodies the
rule that an ordinary-seaman must be not less
than seventeen years of age; must have
served not less than two years at sea in the
capacity of boy or apprentice, and be able ' ' to
hand, reef and steer." The term "hand" im-
plies knowledge of how to handle the sails
with the running gear attached to them ; that
is, how to bend, loose or furl sails; how to
reeve off the running gear properly; how to
pull and haul, etc., etc. The terms "reef and
steer" are self-explanatory and, of course,
imply a knowledge of the compass.
In addition to the standard of efficiency
and age limit for ordinary-seamen established
by Lloyd's, an able-seaman must possess the
following qualification :
He must be not less than nineteen years of
age, and have served not less than two years
at sea in the capacity of ordinary-seaman. He
must know how to send up or clown all spars
and yards carried above the crosstrees ; how to
rig booms in and out ; how to pull an oar ; how
to knot, splice, serve ropes, plait sennits, tuck
cringles and grummets; how to put on seiz-
ings, etc. He must also know the "marks and
deeps" of the lead line, and how to use a palm
and needle.
It will be seen from the foregoing that those
who claim that an able-seaman is in reality a
highly skilled mechanic have a most excellent
hasis for their contention. It is the disregard
of this fact by modern shipowners which
renders navigation nowadays unnecessarily
hazardous. No matter how well found a ship
may be, if her crew be lacking in skill, or
numerically weak, her chances of safe arrival
at her port of destination are reduced more
than one-half.
The danger of such" a condition — and let it
be said right here that it is altogether too
common nowadays — is so obvious that com-
ment upon it is superfluous. For that reason
the Goulden Manning bill, now pending in
Congress, should receive the support of every
man who places the safety of human life
above dividends on watered stock. This bill
has been drawn with great care so as not to
place any unnecessary burdens upon shipping,
and with due regard for modern conditions of
commerce afloat. If enacted into law it will
tend to greatly increase the safety of life at
sea, and no intelligent landsman need be told
that this is a desideratum about which there
can be no two opinions.
As to the particulars of the examination in
seamanship to which a seaman would be likely
to be subjected by the boatswain of a man-
o'-war, much would, of course, depend upon
the individuality of the particular examiner
appealed to. Some men are more thorough in
their methods than others. A veteran sailor-
man, for instance, can tell a genuine fellow-
craftsman by "the cut of his jib," as it were.
That is, a long and arduous life before the
mast leaves a certain impress on a man which
can not be counterfeited, and which is intui-
tively recognized by other sailormen. Mani-
festly, if both the examiner and the applicant
for examination are seamen of this type, the
examination need not be very searching. There
is a story current among old sailors which in
a manner illustrates this point. It is as fol-
lows:
A sailor, whose efficiency had been chal-
lenged by a shipmaster for the purpose of de-
frauding him of his wages, presented himself
before the boatswain of a man-o'-war and re-
quested to be examined in seamanship. The
boatswain happened to be of a facetious turn
of mind, and the first question he put to the
applicant was:
' ' What is that which is aft on the port side,
forward on the starboard side, and inside on
both sides?
"The lanyard knots, sir," replied the man.
"Right you are," said the boatswain; "you-
'll do. Come in and get your certificate."
This story is quoted here merely to show
that very little is needed on the part of a
genuine seaman to convince another of his
efficiency. As a rule, however, the examina-
tions in seamanship conducted by the boat-
swain of a man-o'-war are a little more search-
ing in character than the sample submitted
above. He is generally equipped with a full-
rigged model of a ship, the names and uses
of the various parts of which the seaman may
be requested to mention and explain. The sea-
man will also probably be handed a marlin-
spike and a piece of rope, and requested to do
a little splicing, knotting, stropping a block,
etc. But, as a general proposition, the exam-
ination is never severe enough to bother any
one who has had two or three years' experi-
ence at sea on deck.
What's in a name? The New York
Typothetae has notified all its affiliated bodies
that from now on strike breakers must be
called "freemen" instead of non-union men,
and that all "Open Shop" employes, union or
non-union, must be enrolled on the books as
"freemen". Freemen! As Tom Moore would
have said, "a rat by any other name would be
the same old rat."
Construction of Warships.
The Government has been severely censured
of late by Eastern newspapers and labor or-
ganizations for its partiality to private ship-
yards in the matter of constructing warships,
and its neglect of our Navy Yards in the same
connection. Organized labor is naturally
wroth at the Administration for having the
Nation's warships built by scab labor, such
as is employed in the majority of the private
shipyards, where the Eight-Hour law and its
advocates are ridiculed and defied. It is also
pointed out that in permitting our Navy
Yards to lie idle the Government misses valu-
able opportunities to train their personnel in
the preparatory arts of war. Commenting up-
on the construction of the battleship Connecti-
cut in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the New York
Herald, for instance, says:
It is quite true that tin' Superficial initial cost of
this governmental effort, is slightly greater than in
the case of her mate, the Louisiana, built in a private
shipyard; but we must remember that a measurable
part of this expenditure is chargeable to the training
and experience that naval officers, foremen and arti-
sans of all sorts and conditions have secured at
diminishing cost for other possible responsibilities.
In peace preparations for war, adequate public works
are secondary only to the fighting line that rests upon
them. To build a large percentage of the ships under
Government control is therefore a vital element of Na-
tional defense. This practice establishes a standard
of cost, and of reasonable speed in construction. It
relieves the Nation from a slavish dependency upon
private establishments, which in emergencies in-
variably, as a matter of business and dividends, lift
the price on material and work. It encourages a com-
petition that redounds equally to the benefit of the
honest shipbuilder and to the good of the Navy. Fi-
nally, it holds for the Government service hundreds of
skilled mechanics who, by any such failure to provide
work, will surely be scattered purposelessly along the
high roads and the byways that lead to the widely-
separated Seven Seas.
The force of the Herald's comment will be
better understood when it is known that since
January 1, more than twelve hundred men
have been discharged from the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, in anticipation of the completion of the
Connecticut. It is also a certainty that in the
course of the next two months, during which
time the Connecticut will be completed, fully
one thousand more men will be discharged.
This penny-wise pound-foolish policy of re-
trenchment was recently touched upon by
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte in an ad-
dress delivered at Baltimore. Speaking of
the construction, repair and maintenance in
good order of Naval machinery, he said :
We must have workmen of tried skill and long ex-
perience to deal with such machinery, and if we lose
those at our Navy Yards it is by no means certain
that we can get them back at short notice. This fact
renders a reduction of the personnel of these yards
a public calamity, as well as a private hardship.
A year's agreement was signed on February
13, by committees representing the Diamond
Manufacturers' Association of America and
the Diamond- Workers' Protective Union. Un-
der the new agreement, which became effec-
tive at once, an increase of about 10 per cent,
in wages was secured by the Union. As the
weekly wages of diamond-workers up to the
signing of the contract ranged from $35 to
$G0, this means an average increase per man
of $4.75 a week. Provisions regulating the
admission of apprentices, hours of labor, and
other conditions peculiar to the trade, were
also noticeable features of the agreement.
The trouble with most hustlers is that they
are generally too busy to finish anything
which they have begun.

cisco, and nothing has since been heard of the vessel.
The belief is current that the Centennial has been lost.
The owners and charterers of the steamer do not share
this view, but almost everybody has expressed Hie opin-
ion that the old Centennial has gone down. She is be-
lieved by some shipping men to have put into Dutch
Harbor, Alaska, but there is no particular ground for
this belief. The rate of reinsurance is now 60 per
cent, and it is expected to advance rapidly.
Following is the reinsurance list, as posted ;it San
Francisco on April S: American bark Sea King, 83
days from Newcastle, Australia, for San Francisco, 15
per cent. Italian ship Elisa, 204 days from Hamburg
for San Francisco, 15 per cent. British ship Windsor
Park, 171 days from San Francisco for Liverpool, 6
per cent. British ship Red Rock, 168 days from San
Francisco for Liverpool, 10 per cent. French bark
Genevieve Mollinos, 169 days from San Francisco for
Ipswich, 15 per cent. American steamer Centennial,
44 days from Mororan for San Francisco, 60 per cent.
Notice is isued by the Merchants' Exchange, of San
Francisco, that the Barneson-Hibbard Company will
put on the steamers Indiana, Watson and Buckman, to
ply between San Francisco and Nome, St. Michael,
Solomon and Golovin, connecting at St. Michael with
the Northern Commercial Company 's river boats for
points on the Yukon. The first sailing will be the
steamer Indiana, which is due to leave June 1.
Freight rates, it is announced, will be the same as from
Seattle, giving the merchants of San Francisco oppor-
tunity to compete on equal terms with the merchants
of the northern city.

Strange Craft.
No stranger ships ever sailed the seas than
those that now cruise hack and forth on the
arid plains and mountain peaks of the West,
carrying their lakes with them, tearing up
productive orchards, waving fields of grain
and stretches of desert sand, and leaving in
their wake bald and naked heaps of bowlders
that must forever remain unproductive and
utterly barren. Stranger than any flights of
fancy emanating from the busy brains of
novelists and romancers, are these creations of
modern mining engineers — the gold ships of
the plains. More destructive than any old-
time buccaneering vessels of the Spanish
main, more richly laden than any galleons
that ever crossed the seas, they sail the sands
of the great American Desert. Ten years ago
the first gold dredge was introduced into the
United States, but with indifferent success.
Three years later the first conspicuously suc-
cessful craft of the kind was put in commis-
sion in the country. Its field of operation was
an olive orchard in California. It created its
own river and opened up a new era in placer
mining. There are now not far from 150 such
craft in operation in the United States. Each
one of these irretrievably destroys from half
an acre to one acre of land in a month. This
means that a total of more than 1,000 acres
is worked over every year. To offset this de-
struction, however, is an addition of many
millions of dollars to the world's gold pro-
duction.
To transport one of these huge amphibious
monsters, 100 feet long, and weighing many
hundreds of tons, across the plains and some-
times over lofty mountain ranges, would be
a hopeless undertaking. The machinery and
iron work are carried by rail and burro to the
place desired. Then, wherever that place may
be, whether far out on the sun-baked plains
or in some deep valley girt by snow-capped
mountains, with no navigable lake, sea or
river within a distance of 1,000 miles, dock
yards are built for the construction of these
ships, that sail on land. Probably there is an
irrigating ditch at no great distance. If not,
one is dug, or water is brought down from the
mountains in a flume. Then it begins to dig.
Soon it has excavated a hole, throwing a great
pile of earth and rocks up behind. Deeper
and deeper it burrows, until the underflow
of the valley seeps in and floats it. Then it
begins its slow and deliberate journey, carry-
ing its manufactured lake with it. One ob-
server has described a gold dredge as a com-
bination of a river steamer, derrick and man-
of-war.
The buckets do the work of nearly 3,000
men and a. dozen horses. Every minute they
scoop up a, quarter of a million pounds of
sand and gravel ready for washing. A thor-
oughly up-to-date gold dredge is lighted with
electricity and operated by two forty-five or
fifty-horse power electric motors. One of this
tyep cost about $100,000. Operating expenses
are comparatively light, running in the neigh-
borhood of $30 a day. The cost of handling the
soil and rocks is less than live cents a ton, so
that, if the average is three-fourths of a cent
in gold to the cubic, foot, I he refuse can be
washed with a tempting margin of profit. In
the Oroville valley of California more than
thirty gold boats are now in operation, trans-
forming the orchards of that region into des-
olate wastes. A five-year-old orange jj'rove is
wor*h $1,000 an acre; but in the Oroville val-
ley thai amount is an altogether insignificant
fraction of the profit to be gained by ripping
out the trees and dredging for gold. — Brook-

ROOSEVELT INSULTS THE WEST.
Whereas, President Roosevelt, in his reply to the
Memorial recently presented to him by the American
Federation of Labor, referring to the subject of
Chinese Exclusion ami the charge made by the repre-
sentatives of organized labor that the proposed modifi-
cati f the Chinese Exclusion Act would result in
admitting to the United States considerable numbers
of Chinese now excluded by the present law, said:
"There is no appreciable influx of Chinese laborers,
and there is not the slightest or most remote danger of
any. The whole scare that, has been worked up on the
subject is a pure chimera. It is my deep conviction
that we must keep out of this country every Chinese
laborer, skilled or unskilled — every Chinese of the coolie
class. This is what the proposed law will do. Tt will
be done as effectively as under the present law, and
the present law is being handled with the utmost
efficiency. But I will do everything in my power to
make easy and desirable for the Chinese of the business
and professional classes, the Chinese travelers and stu-
dents, to come here, and I will do all I can to secure
their good treatment when they come, and no laboring
man has anything to fear from that policy."
Therefore lie it
Resolved, by the Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League of San Francisco, that, while we recognize the
substantial correctness of the statement regarding the
decrease in the number of Chinese in the United States,
as compared with the period anterior to the passage of
the Exclusion laws, we dissent from the President 's in-
ference that that condition will continue in event of
the passage of the proposed "modification" legisla-
tion, and declare our conviction, based upon long ex-
perience, that said condition — i. e., the decrease in the
number of Chinese in the United States — is due pri-
marily, and indeed solely, to the Exclusion laws and the
effective enforcement thereof; further
Resolved, That we deplore the sentiment and lan-
guage of the President, intended to belittle the gravity
of Chinese immigration and to impugn the motives of
those who would protect themselves and their country
from such immigration; further
Resolved, That we reiterate our sense of danger from
Chinese immigration and our conviction that such dan-
ger can be obviated only by continued maintenance of
the existing Exclusion Act and its strict enforcement,
which Act and the enforcement thereof, while prevent-
ing the admission to the United States of all classes of
Chinese labor, works no discrimination, indignity or
hardship upon any Chinese person of the "exempt
classes"; further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be for-
warded to President Roosevelt and the representatives
of California in the Congress of the United States.
The daily press has spared no words in ex-
preasing its admiration of President Roose-
velt's reply to the Memorial recently present-
ed to him by the American Federation of
Labor. Next to the "statesmanship, dignity
and vigor" exemplified by the President's re-
marks, the "firm and comprehensive grasp of
public affairs" seems to have excited the
greatest admiration among the newspapers.
An impartial study of the reply fails to re-
veal the basis of all this laudation, unless we
take mere bluntness for firmness and mere
assertion for comprehensiveness. An honest
judgment, formed in the ordinary under-
standing of the language used, must be that
the President displayed entire ignorance of
the subjects presented in the Memorial; the
only alternative from this judgment is that
the President purposely evaded the issue.
In hardly a single instance did the President
meet the issue presented to him. The real
source of the admiration expressed by the
newspapers lies in the note of defiance that
sounds clear through the President's reply.
The newspapers are pleased with the specta-
cle of a high public official who won't "truckle
lo labor." and who by his tone and manner
gives a certain amount of point to sentiments
which, when uttered by themselves, fall flat
as so much platitude. In plain fact. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's reply was in the nature of a
scolding; in some respects it was even worse
than that. In his allusion to Chinese Exclu-
sion the President offered a direct, although
it is to be hoped unthinking, insult to the
greal majority of the people, particularly
those of the West. The President's language
in this connection is capable of but one con-
struction, namely, as intended to cast dis-
credit upon the motives and contempt upon
the intelligence of those who oppose the move-
ment to "modify" the Exclusion laws. The
President asserts that the "whole scare" that
has been "worked up" is a "pure chimera."
In other words, those who speak of the dan-
gers inhering in such measures as the Foster
bill are so many fakers engaged in fabricating
a false conception ("working up a chimera,"
is perhaps the better term"), and the people
who take stock in that conception are so many
greenhorns at a county fair! The American
people have long been aware of the decreasing
numbers of Chinese in the United States; they
know the cause of that condition, and they are
determined that both that cause and that con-
dition shall continue. The people are also
convinced that the "modification" measures
now before Congress would, by altering the
condition that has resulted in the decrease of
Chinese, create an opposite tendency and lead
to an increase of that race. If this be "pure
chimera," it follows that the history of Chi-
nese immigration to the United States during
the past fifty years is a work of imagination,
that the vast army of Chinese which in the
past has landed on these shores was an army
of ghosts. In the judgment of President
Roosevelt, the people of the West have been
"seeing things" all these years; even to-day
the man who sees a Chinaman may ascribe the
fact — or rather, the "chimera" — to something
he has been taking!
It remains to be said, however, that the pub-
lic delusion upon this score is too general to be
dissipated by a breath, even though it be that
of President Roosevelt. When a whole nation
falls under a spell, a wise man will try to
humor, rather than force, it. The defenders
of the Exclusion policy are just as anxious
as the President can be that all persons, of
the Chinese or other nationality, who are en-
titled to enter the country shall be treated
fairly. But they are equally determined that
Ihe law shall not be altered so as to give the
right of entrance to any one who may declare
himself entitled to that right. There must be
examination and proof of that right, and the
burden of proof must rest upon the claimant,
Herein lies the sole difference between the
position of the American people and that of
President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt's language indicates
that he has grown too great — upon what meat
we know not — for even the high office which
he occupies. He has yet to learn that no man
ever grew great enough upon any meat to
flout the people with impunity. Therefore the
foregoing resolutions, adopted by the Japa-
nese and Korean Exclusion League, of San
Urancisco.
A WOULD-BE BUCKO.
Captain Dedrick, of the American barken-
tine Kolhala, now at Aberdeen, Wash., from
Champerico, Central America, is charged by
his crew with ill-treatment of a character sa-
voring of the traditional buckoism. Accord-
ing to the information at hand, the crew of
the Kolhala. while discharigng cargo in Cham-
perico, were ordered to keep anchor-watch,
and because they objected to this order on the
ground that the nature of their labor during
the day necessitated the employment of a
watchman, they were placed in irons and eon-
lined in the hold, besides being deprived of
food and other requirements of nature. It is
also charged that Captain Dedrick kicked one
member of the imprisoned crew in the face
Avhile the latter was in a helpless condition,
and hung another man over the side in irons,
with the avowed purpose of "making him
squirm." These charges have been presented
to the Federal authorities at Seattle, and
everything possible will be done by the com-
plaining seamen, supported by the Sailors'
Union, to bring the would-be bucko to justice.
The reputation of Captain Dedrick among
I hose who know him is bad, so bad that, his
vessel is avoided by seamen, with the natural
result that he is frequently compelled to ship
green men. A crew thus composed is not con-
ducive to good temper on the part of a ship-
master; but in Dedrick 's case the fault is en-
tirely his own. The latter seems to be a sur-
vival of the class of ships' officers who made
the American ship a synonym for hell and the
American flag a symbol of tyranny more ab-
horrent than that of the skull and crossbones.
Fortunately for the good name of the coun-
try, as well as for the health of the seamen,
that class has grown smaller and beautifully
less, until to-day it is largely an unpleasant
memory. Here and there a reincarnation of that
class crops up, as in the case of Captain Ded-
rick, but these are the exceptions to the rule
Shipmasters and other "superior officers"
have not yet arrived at an ideal state of con-
duct. but they have learned to keep their
hands off the seaman and to depend mainly
Upon decent treatment as a means of securing
respect for their authority. That lesson has
been a hard one in some instances, but it has
been learned, even by some of the hardest
cases that ever swung a belaying-pin. Evi-
dently Captain Dedrick has yet to learn this
lesson ; that he will do so in time is a certainty
— in fact a cinch. Either that, or he will have
to quit the Coast. There is no room among
the maritime fraternity of these parts for an
anachronism from the period of "knock down
and drag out."

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
A POOR "PROTEST."
A so-called protest meeting, ostensibly in
the interest of the accused Western Federa-
tion officials, was held at San Francisco last
Sunday. The wageworkers (who had been
"commanded" by organized labor — i. e., by the
Socialists — to attend) were present in large
numbers. Speeches were made, in which the
"capitalist conspiracy" was duly denounced
and the Army and Navy challenged to mortal
combat. Resolutions were adopted, in which
"we, the workingmen" declared their "full
knowledge" of the innocence of the accused
men and condemned the arrest of Moyer, Hay-
wood and Pettibone as an "open declaration
of war against the working class," demanding
that the latter be "set free without further
delay," that the Mine Owners' Association,
the Governors of Colorado and Idaho and the
Pinkerton thugs be "brought to the bar of
justice," and serving notice upon the ruling
class that "if a hair be scathed on the heads
of Moyer, Haywood, Pettibone and St. John
we shall consider such a crime an act of open
war upon the working class, and will act ac-
cordingly." Of course, the "Marseillaise"
was sung by the Mannerchoir. The meeting
then resolved itself into a parade, marched to
the center of the city, hoisted the red flag on a
public fountain — and ended in a riot. Heads
were cracked, some by the official billy, others
by the proletarian potsherd. The proceedings
were brought to a close by the arrest of a large
number of the "audience." It is difficult to
understand just how these sayings and doings
can help the cause of those in whose interest
they are supposed to be said and done. For
our own part, we think the hostility of the
mineowners and their "capitalist allies" less
dangerous than the kind of friendship (?)
thus exemplified. Organized labor of San
Francisco, represented by the Labor Council,
repudiated the meeting beforehand and by a
large vote refused to send a representative to
it. The City Front Federation followed a
similar course. The meeting was obviously a
political move. As such neither the meeting,
the resolutions nor the riot bear any signifi-
cance, other than as the natural results of the
irresponsible conduct of so many politicians
posing in the name of "labor."
The Daily Evening News, of San Fran-
! cisco, in its report of the action taken by the
Labor Council of that city, in refusing to send
\ a speaker to the "protest" meeting on behalf
1 of Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone, says that
i several speakers denounced the Western Fed-
eration of Miners' leaders as "political adven-
turers." Nothing of the kind took place. On
the contrary, the unfortunate men in question,
who are personally known to some of the
Labor Council delegates, were referred to in
the warmest and most respectful manner
The Evening News simply lies about the mat-
ter; that's all. In this, as in other instances,
the sheet referred to has resorted to misrepre-
sentation— to use a veiy mild term — for the
purpose of discrediting the trade-unionists,
with the ulterior object of advancing the cause
of "labor politics." Well, the cause that can
be furthered by such methods can't be a very
good cause, after all.
Every demand for the union label is another
nail in the coffin of the sweatshop system.

The Treaty of Chinatown — ' ' An agreement between
the societies known as the On Leong Tong and the
Hip Sing Tong to insure peace and goodwill among
the Chinese of Greater New York" — was drawn up
and formally agreed to to-day before Justice Warren
W. Foster, of the Court of Special Sessions, who acted
as arbitrator.
The treaty will be signed with much pomp and cere-
mony next Tuesday. If the warring factions live up
to the terms of the agreement it will mean the end of
a reign of terror in Chinatown, in the darkened re-
cesses of whose mysterious buildings murders and otheT
crimes have been of almost weekly occurrence, and
where occasionally the never-sleeping enmity of the
feudists has flared out in pitched battles of the street.
Gambling is to be eschewed, no deadly weapon is to
be bought or accepted as a gift, and every difference
of opinion is to be promptly taken to the Chinese Con-
sul for settlement.
The agreement consists of ten articles. Each society
is to give a bond in the sum of $1000, to be forfeited
through any act of violence on the part of its mem-
bers.— Press dispatch.
Behold the methods by which the "yellow
peril" is met in the East. Of course, any
other kind of peril might be met in the same
way. But no one thinks of making a "treaty"
with the Irish, the Dutch or the Dagoes when
these classes show a disposition to settle their
disputes between themselves. Only the Chinese
are thus treated as a sovereign entity within the
jurisdiction of the United States. After all,
no fault can be found with the people of the
East in this connection ; they are consistent
enough in their treatment of the Chinese as
a race that is not amenable to ordinary
methods of enforcing the law. The inconsis-
tency of our Eastern friends lies in their op-
position to Western sentiment in favor of ex-
cluding these unamenables.
Japan, there is reason to fear, has a case of (hat
exalted emotion sometimes designated as the big head.
She does not get a view that gives her any exact idea
of herself. That she was too much for Russia will have
to be acknowledged, but that Russia, afloat and ashore,
was decadent is a fact that is considered everywhere
but in Japan. To contemplate instructions for the re-
form of the English Army, in order that the Anglo-
Japanese alliance shall not receive from the Brownies
of the Orient its chief element of strength, approaches
a climax of presumption. Japan must be careful lest
the credit given to her for unprecedented development
disappear in a tendency to regard her as an impertin-
ent youngster in the family of nations. — Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
It is gratifying to note that the Public
Ledger is "getting on to itself." The recent
attitude of that and other "great dailies" to-
ward the Brownies of the Orient has been in-
evitably calculated to increase the cranial cir-
cumference of the said B. Os. The imperti-
nence of the Japs isn't due so much to their
victory over the Russian Tartars as to the at-
titude, part grovel and part glorification of
the press and politicians in Europe and the
United States. In proportion as the latter re-
cover their own heads the Jap swelling will
diminish to its previous, and proper, dimen-
sions.
The conference between Seamen and Long-
shoremen, recommended by the last conven-
tion of the American Federation of Labor,
for the purpose of finally adjusting the differ-
ences between these organizations, will meet at
Erie, Pa., on the 18th inst. Andrew Furu-
seth and W. Macarthur will represent the Sea-
men, and Henry C. Barter and A. Madsen will
represent the Longshoremen. The member-
ship of both organizations will watch the con-
ference with interest and the profound wish
that its labors may result in enduring peace
and fraternal feeling between the two crafts.

BvilK-Freighter Launched.
The bulk-freighter Harry Coulby was
launched at Wyandotte, on March L'4. Cap
tain Ralph J. Lyons of Lorain, who will sail
the vessel for the Lyman C. Smith Transit
Company, attended the launch. He will have
Wesley Rinn as first-mate and E. Hall as
chief-engineer. The boat will be ready when
navigation opens. She is 569 feel over all,
549 feet keel. 56 feet beam and 81 feet deep.
She will have thirty-four hatches, spaces'
twelve-foot centers. The Coulby will have
triple expansion engines with cylinders
twenty-four, thirty-nine and sixty-five inches,
with forty-two-inch stroke. Two Scotch boil-
ers fifteen feet four inches in diameter and
eleven and a half feet long will furnish the
steam. The boilers, which will be allowed ISO
pounds pressure, will be fitted with the Ellis
and Eaves draft. The Coulby will be an up-
to-date freighter in every respect, and will
have all modern appliances for handling ship
and cargo. The new boat will cost about
iM-J.l.OOO.
The little iron passenger steamer Mascotte,
a familiar craft on the Detroit River and for-
merly at the Soo. has been sold by the Delray
ami Belle Isle Kerry Company to Houghton
and Dnluth parties. The operating company
has not been formed, but the new owners in-
clude Captain Walter Llqyd and Captain Bert
Roberts, of Houghton, and Captain Jotifl
Wright, of Dnluth. The Mascotte will be op-
erated on Portage Lake, and will also make
trips to L'Anse. and Lake Linden and to Hu-
ron Islands. Captain Roberts will be master,
and Captain Lloyd will manage the boat. Last
season the Mascotte ran between the Sandusky
and Cedar Point resorts.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Breeches-Buoy on Ship.
Following out the recommendations of the
Supervising Inspectors at their recent Wash-
ington meeting, and feeling the need of it by
actual experience, Captain James Travis,
master of the steamer Jesse Spalding, has de-
cided to equip that boat with a breechesdmoy
pigged between her two spars.
The need for a breeches-buoy on a steam-
boat was never better exemplified than during
the Spalding's trip from the Soo to Ashland
last fall. The wreck of the steamer Mataafa,
where men lost their lives in plain sight of
the shore, also brought out its need. If the
Mataafa had been so equipped it is probable
that none would have been lost Avhen she went
on the beach.
The Spalding lived through the awful sale
without, even starting the paint in the interior
of her hull, but it took her nearly three days
to make, from Whitefish Point to Ashland, and
there were forty-eight hours of this time that
the forward crew could not go aft to get food.
They were deprived of both food and sleep.
With the breeches-buoy it is thought this will
never happen again.
The waves washed over the Spalding as if
she were a canoe. As each big sea struck her
upper works the intense cold froze the water
so hard that the wheelsman had trouble in
keeping a lookout, and the master had only
one little window from which to watch for
possible dangers. He, like the others at tin-
forward end, could not think of going aft for
a bite to eat. The decks were awash and giant
billows swept across continually.
New Rules for Life-Savers.
The crew of the Milwaukee Life-Saving sta-
tion, under command of Captain Ingar Olson,
went into commission at midnight, March 31.
New orders regarding privileges to be allowed
the men have been received by Captain Olson.
It has been the custom to allow the men only
about twelve hours on their day off. The day
was supposed to begin at sunrise and end at
sunset. According to new instructions, twen-
ty-four hours' leave will be given the Life-
Savers. They will leave at sunrise one day
and return at the same hour the following.
One exception is noted to the order. In
cases of new men, not acquainted with the
various drills, leave shall not be allowed until
after drill hour. Their day, therefore, will
commence about 8:30 o'clock in the morning,
when they will have completed their work of
launching the surf boat, fire drill, or other
similar stunts under the supervision of the
captain.
The old regulation regarding leave was en-
forced so that all members of the crew might
be at hand in case of a sudden call during the
night. It is believed now that this is hardly
necessary, and the new order has been issued
accordingly.
Plans for New Steamer.
Plans for the new D. and C. steamer have
been adopted by the directors and, submitted
to three Lake shipyards. Designer Kirby has
mdae some changes from the first plans. The
final plans are for two stacks instead of one,
arranged fore and aft. This is to help in pro-
viding gangway space for handling freight.
A novel feature will be a steadying tank of
100 tons' capacity, to steady the vessel in seas
while running light. Power has been increas-
ed from 6,500 to 7.000 horse power. Full
power can be utilized only between Put-in-
Bay Islands and Cleveland, where water is
deep. The boat will make twenty miles an hour.
About twenty more state-rooms have been
gained in working out detailed plans, and a
total of 350 rooms is now included. Mr. Kir-
by says that the yards should have no difficulty
in finishing the steamer for the season of 1907
if the material can be procured from the iron
and steel mills.
The option of the Rochester and Ogdens-
burg Navigation Company on the ('. and T.
line steamer Slate of New York expired re-
cently, but it was extended until a later date
and if the easterners do not make good on or
before that day the deal will be declared off.
Superintendent Schantz says the company
has three applications from Lake Michigan
companies, all of whom want to charter the
boat.

Miscellaneous.
It is mosl unfortunate, but the "immunity
bath" given tbc Beef Packers by tbo Supreme
Court will undoubtedly have tbe effect of
greatly booming tbe stock of tbose blatant
demagogues who are ever busy stirring up
class-hatred by insisting that in this land of
equal moonshine there is one law for the rich,
and another for the poor. But, "the higher
law" must be obeyed, even if every demagogic
railer against it must be put in jail for "con-
tempt of court."
It is rather bewildering to tli" man who is
simple-minded enough to think that consist-
ency is the mainstay of argument to note that
the frequent advice to workingmen to "gel
an education" so that they may "get to the
top." etc., usually emanates from those esti-
mable gentlemen who on the Fourth of July.
are wont to hold forth eloquently on "the
dignity of labor." With all due deference to
these very superior persons, it would seem to
the aforesaid simple-minded individual thai
the edtication workingmen need is not the
kind that will make them despise manual la-
bor and desire to become absorbers of wealth
rather than producers, but the kind that will
give them wisdom to so regenerate the world
that those who shall come after us will elect
of their own free will to become workingmen
instead of ornamental parasites on society. In
short, the education of workingmen should
tend toward the realization of "the dignity of
labor", and not toward the realization of the
sordid ideals of latter-day exponents of ma-
terial success.
The steamer Windbcr has been trading be-
tween Providence, R. I., and Newport News.
Va., for some time past. Recently she was
chartered by the New York and Porto Rico
line. The sailors thereupon demanded their
discharge, and the master told them to be at
the United States Shipping-Commissioner's of-
fice at an appointed hour next morning, to be
paid off, the vessel being then at her berth in
Providence. The men packed their bags and
went to their respective boarding-houses for
the night. Next morning they went to the of-
fice of the Shipping-Commissioner, but were
informed by the deputy in charge of the of-
fice that the master of the Windber had not
been there, nor had any money been left for
them. They then went in a body to the dock
of the vessel and found that she had sailed
early in the morning for New York, without
leaving any message whatever for them. In
this dilemma they decided to go on to New
York and press their case in the Courts if
necessary. They were all members of the At-
lantic Coast Seamen's Union, and so the first
thing they did after arriving in New York
was to confer with Agent Gildemeister about
their trouble. Comrade Gildemeister marched
them up before the local United States Ship-
ping-Commissioner and laid their grievance
before him. The result was that the master
of the Windber was immediately sent for
by the Commissioner and made to pay the
men their wages in full, plus four days' extra
pay for waiting, and railroad fare from Provi-
dence to New York and return. The master
is now a sadder but wiser man— wiser about
the ways of the Seamen 's Union.
The less said about troubles, the sooner
mended.
Fag Ends.
Success is ever its own justification.
Polly is the advance agent of failure.
Reform, even more than charity, should be-
gin at home.
Don'1 look for troubles ere they come your
way: sufficient is the evil of the day.
Man never really grows old until he loses
the faculty of building castles in the air.
Lei lnit success your enterprise attend, the
world cares little bow you gaiii your end.
Experience is tin- dearest thing in the
world, yei oi f the hardest to give away.
Opposition often eggs us on to do that.
which we fain would shun.
If good examples were as plentiful as -nod
advice tlie millennium would he inaugurated
;it tile next election.
A -odd education is such only in so far as
it teaches us how little we know of all there is
to know.
If there were enough happiness in the world
to go around its pursuit would probably he
much less alluring.
Tlie only good trust is a busted trust. Op,
and at, them, voters! Columbia expects every
man this fall to do his dutv.
Where one man is ruined by lying slander
a score would be toppled oft' their pedestals
were the truth about them published.
Napoleon said of the British that they were
a nation of shopkeepers. Had be been alive
to-day he would probably have referred to us
as a nation of sharpers.
The man who accepts a "tip" from another
man furnishes .just one more argument against
the presumption that all men are created
equal.
When we think of the persecution of
Brother C. W. Post by the soulless Coffee
Trust, and the hopelessness of his "mantle-of-
liberty" crusade against organized labor, we
realize, indeed, that every one has troubles of
his own.
When we look around us in this beautiful
world, and think of the beautiful civilization
we might have instead of the crazy, hollow
mockery we are now wrestling with, we real-
ize, if we never did before, "what fools these
mortals be."
The efforts of Congressmen to limit the out-
put of public printing, when considered in
connection with their reluctance to give up
their franking privileges, somehow suggests
to the mind the old saw: "You can not eat
your cake and have it, too."
Lord Chesterfield would squirm in his gold-
embossed easy-chair in the New Jerusalem,
and mute would lie his angel harp, could he
hear or read the slangy fustian and airy bil-
lingsgate exchanged between our rotund City
Fathers and the soi disant social regenerators
during their controversial spats over "honest
graft." Verily, we are up against "other
times, other manners."

The Governor-General of Caucasus,

ernment.
All the metal-working establishments
of Dresden, Germany, have agreed to a
lockout of employes belonging to unions,
owing to the alleged frequency oi strikes.
There are 25,000 workers affected.
The number of paupers relieved in
thirty-five selected urban districts of the
1'nited Kingdom on one day in Febru-
ary corresponded to a rate of 236 per
10,000 of the estimated population,
The French miners' delegates at

pany's offers, and will continue the

Thirteen miners were rescued alive

Twelve years ago one hundred and
three German cities each boasted of a
Central Labor Council (Gewerkschafts-
kartell). In February of this year there
were in existence five hundred and six
Central Labor Councils in as many cities

When the Chief of Police ,,(' Toulon,
France, visited a meeting of strikers on
April 4 for the purpose of bringing
about a reconciliation he was seized by
the strikers and locked up in a dark
room. The strikers then announced that
they were holding the Chief as a hostage.
The Prefect finally intervened and secur-
ed his release.
According to a preliminary report
published in the journal of Hie German
Labor Department, 369 strikes and 41
lockouts came to an end in Germany in
the last quarter of 1905. The strikes
affected ii,:;i7 workpeople directly and
1,(564 indirectly, while the lockouts af-
fected 44,441 workpeople directly and
1,1(14 indirectly.
According to the returns received by
the British Board of Trade from tin
distress committees under the Unem-
ployed Workmen Act. and from the Lo-
cal Correspondents of the Department,
the amount of distress due to unem-
ployment in February was less than in
the previous month, and much less than
a year ago.
The total number of cases of poison-
ing and of anthrax reported to the Brit-
ish Home Office under the Factory and
Workshop Act during February was
fifty, consisting of forty-four cases of
lead poisoning, one of arsenic poisoning
and five of anthrax. Six deaths were
reported, four due to lead poisoning
and two to anthrax.
The report on trade-unions in tic
United Kingdom in 1902-04, which has
just been issued by the Board 0j Trade,
shows that during the years under review
there was a slight decline in the total
membership, accompanied by a consid-
erable increase in trade-union expendi-
ture on unemployed benefit. Against
this, however, has to be set sonic increase
in income and lessened expenditure on
disputes, the net result being a substan-
tial increase in the funds of the princi-
pal unions during each of the years un-
der review.

THE RACE PROBLEM IN HAWAII.
Yellow Peril a Stern Reality.
Islands "American" in Name Only.
TO THE sensibilities of the average American
who has been born and bred on the Atlantic
Slope, and whose travels have never before car-
ried him beyond the limits of the original thirteen
States, there is apt to come a severe shock when lie
lands for the first time upon a tropical island 2,000
miles from his native land and differing from it in
every way in which two countries can differ — in cli-
mate, scenery, flora, and people — and tries to convince
himself that he is still treading American soil.
In a climate such as that of Hawaii one can scarcely
forbear to exclaim with Goldsmith :
Why, Nature, waste thy wonders on such men? Anil
yet should Nature, turning upon the imprudent babbler,
ask him to what men he referred, I am not convinced
that any one outside of the Philadelphia bar would be
able to give her a satisfactory reply; certainly no one
in the Territory of Hawaii.
For the great question which is now feeding the
minds of the island philosophers and which bids fair
to afford them an abundant diet for some time to come,
is precisely this question in race supremacy, and al-
though it has come to be pretty well understood that
the predominating race upon the islands to-day is the
American, and that the predominating culture — what
little there is — is Anglo-Saxon, yet it is far from an
established certainty that such will be the case at the
end of the next two decades, when the first generation
of Japanese born into American citizenship — offsprings
of the 70,000 Japanese already in the islands — comes
to maturity and brings the influence of its Asiatic
civilization to bear upon the ballot box. Men of sound
.judgment, like Judge Stanford B. Dole, President of
the Provisional Republic, and first Governor of the
Territory, and the leading minds in the oligarchy of
sugar men, are coming to question if the hopes of an
island paradise have not been built upon a foundation
"f sand; if, in the thoughtless pursuit of dividends,
the great planters have not brought in for field laborers
a people who in a few years more will so overwhelm-
ingly outnumber the combined forces of all the other
nationalities which can be arrayed against them in the
islands as to successfully dominate the future of the
Territory. And even in Hawaii the substitution of
Japanese for American civilization is not to be regard-
ed with equanimity.
Already the owners of the great sugar interests-
interests which so overshadow all others as to place
them for the time being beyond the scope of discus-
sion— have come to realize the evil which they have
lirought down upon themselves by inviting a Japanese
invasion and are now anxiously looking about for de-
sirable immigrants from Europe and America by
whom they can replace their Asiatic labor. But though
the attempt is worth making, there are many who look
upon the time as passed when it could be made with
success, and not a few outside the sugar ring who are
inclined to regard present conditions and their in-
evitable results as a just visitation upon the planters
for the entirely selfish way in which for the last thirty
vears they have dominated the islands in their own
interests. To those, however, who are not governed
by interests or prejudices, aside from what are inher-
ent in the desire to see perpetuated for their posterity
i" the islands the benefits of a civilization under which
hey have lived, the prospect is not inviting, and an
mxious and determined effort, feeble at present, it is
true, but destined to grow in strength with time, is
apparent on the part of the Haole or white element to
secure to its future generations the blessings which
they themselves have enjoyed. As yet the sugar inter-
ests are not unanimous in their support of the move-
ment, and many of the planters are quite willing to go
on with Japanese labor as being immediately, and, to
their minds, consequently ultimately, cheaper. To such
men the advent of every fresh cargo of laborers from
the p]ast is a source of satisfaction, for with it comes
more intense competition in the labor market and con-
sequently cheaper labor.
If such are the methods of a part of the planters
to-day, when their colleagues are willing to forego a
moiety of their pampered dividends in the interest of
white domination in the islands, they may be said to
have been the methods employed throughout the plan-
tation in years past and to have been the direct cause
of the present regrettable conditions. Until 1875 the
sugar trade was of little consequence. Various at-
tempts had been made from time to time to conclude
a treaty of reciprocity between the island monarchy
and the United States, but without avail, and so long-
as the markets of the United States were closed
against it it could do no more than struggle through
a sickly childhood. During this period the few laborers
needed on the plantations were easily enough recruited
from the Chinese coolies who had followed the sandal-
wood trade into the islands, supplemented by occa-
sionally industriously inclined natives. But when, in
1875, a reciprocity treaty was finally concluded with
the United States and the tariff walls were breached
for Hawaiian sugar, its production boomed, and with
the increased production came a greater demand for
labor. The Chinese, too, had by this time begun to
show signs of preference for their native crop and were
leaving in large numbers for the rice swamps — a tend-
ency which has nearly denuded the cane fields of coolie
labor.
It was evident to the planters that if they were to
make the most of their advantages under the new tariff
conditions more labor must be brought into the field,
and that as it was not incoming of its own accord, it
must be assisted. In their first attempt at importing
field labor it must, in justice to them, be said that they
acted with extreme good sense — or, perhaps, rather that
unwillingly they were the tools by which an extremely
valuable part of the present population was brought
into the islands. For it is questionable if self -in
terested planters would have paid the expenses of im-
porting 8,000 Portuguese laborers, however valuable
they were eventually to become to the community, if
they had known that with hardly an exception the
whole 8,000 would at the expiration of their contract,
at the end of three years, slip quietly away to the
cities or to the little homes in the valleys which they
had purchased by economy and frugal Giving, Leaving
the plantations as bare of laborers as they had found
them, 'flu- planters had erred, but the Territory is
richer to-day by 10,000 moral, industrious and frugal
citizens liv their error — and this one act. of uninteii
tional philanthropy on the part of the sugar men —
almost the only one of any sort of philanthropy which
can be placed to their credit, as a body, in Hawaii —
covers in the minds of many a multitude of sins.
It taught them, however, not to look for the solu-
tion of their labor tumbles in the Azores; i in assort
meat of t he " can try I 'ort ngee " was sufficient. So with
a line drawn through the word Portugal, and "rice
preferred" scrawled across the map of China, they
turned to the next name on the list, which, unfortunate
ly for the Territory, was — Japan. Here there were
conditions which suited even the most mercenary. A
redundant population which needed room for over
tlow — a population which once on the plantations in all
likelihood would remain there — was precisely what they
were in search of. Add to this that the people were
hardy, quick, industrious, and that the expenses of im-
porting them were slight, it is little wonder that the
proposition of Japanese labor appealed to the planters,
and that, stung by the memory of their Portuguese ex-
periment, they were not loath to give them a trial as
against Haole labor.
As a result, in 1885 the planters imported a number
of shiploads of Japanese, and the experiment proved
successful from the first. The Japanese were indus-
trious, healthy, and on the whole well behaved. Under
the contract labor law which then existed in the Ha-
waiian kingdom, an adaptation of the American Sea-
man 's Shipping act to local conditions, the laborers
could be kept well in hand, and if they deserted the
plantations, could be apprehended, returned to their
work, and forced to work extra time. So long as this
state of affairs existed little trouble was had with the
Japanese and little fear felt that they would ever
emerge in large numbers from the positions they were
introduced to fill. Nor were the laborers dissatisfied
with their condition, sufficient evidence of which may
be found in the fact that by 1890 20,000 of their fel
low-countrymen had followed the first importations in-
to the islands unassisted.
But the sugar men, feeling the insecurity of the
hold which they had upon the American market
through the treaty of reciprocity of 1875, assaults
upon which were constantly being made by the sugar
interests of the South, were not content with letting
well enough alone, and in 1892 entered upon the line
of action which was at the bottom of the present Jap-
anese status in the islands. The history of their coup
d'etat in overthrowing the island monarchy and the
establishment of a provisional republic witii the con
sequent propaganda for annexation to 11k; United
Sttaes is too well known to need repetition. Those
points only have survived in interest :
The planters got the security of market which they
fought for.
The fear that annexation would in some way bar
Japanese immigration flooded the islands with thou-
sands who were anxious to land before it took place.
The repeal of the contract law consequent upon
annexation took from the planters the means by which
they had so successfully managed the Japanese in the
past, allowing the laborers to leave the plantations
when they wished, to strike when they felt inclined,
and to wander away to the cities and to engage in
other trades, to the permanent injury of white labor.
Further than this, the Japanese emigrants, once
t'i I of the idea thai under the American flag the isl
anils would be closed to them, and appreciating the
fact that under the new regime they would be more
at liberty to go where and to do what they pleased,
than Under the old, continued to flock ill until at the

Strange as it may seem to a Continental American
who lias been bred up to condemn the chinaman whom
neets in the Stati s, the race in Hawaii is uni-
versally praised, and its presence in the islands wel-
comed. This fad arises doubtless from the fad that
the Chinese were in the islands before the Western ele-
ment entered in large numbers, thai they have always
been a peaceful, industrious, and saving people, and
tend to Americanize far more readily than either the
.laps or Koreans. Many of the Chinese have married
Kanaka women, ami their children form what is uni-
versally conceded to be the most capable class which
spring from mixed marriages with the natives. The
Chinese in Hawaii are extremely individual and devoid
of that intense national feeling which forbids the Jap-
anese, wherever he mav lie. from ever becoming any-
thing but a loyal Sabjed of the Mikado. Many of the
Chinese merchants in Honolulu maintain elegant
houses, have cut off their cues, raised families of Chi-
nese or half-caste children, and regard that as their
home ami the American flag as their own. Hut not

,„.„!,. apparent. The great market for any labor IS the
plantation— and time and again Haole labor has been
tried here and failed. In L898 a colony of American
farmers were brought out from California, given m
dividual houses and gardens, and every inducement of-
fered them to remain three years. 1 he first left the
plantations at the end of one month, the last at the
eml of ten months. Americans will not till the cane
fields in Louisiana and harvest the crop, much less will
,hev do it here. The Portuguese were tried, and quit
•lt the end of their contract time. The Porto Bicans
have been scarcely less vagrant, and morally are worse
than the Japanese. American negroes cannot be im-
„.,,.,! because of the strong social antipathy with
which the native Hawaiians regard them.
Plantation labor is consequently left to the Japan-
ese and however many thousand •'citizen laborers '
may be poured into the islands, it will still be left to
them \„d. as has already been pointed out, the labor
markets in the cities are nearly as completely pre-
empted by the Japanese. When white carpenters, cab-
Ujetmakers, undertakers, barbers, tailors, hack drivers
restaurateurs are leaving for the continent, what
chance is there to induce other white men to come in
and take chances when those already in the islands
have failed' If it were not to .piestion the good judg-
m,.„t of those patriotic gentlemen who suggest it, the
disp observer would be inclined to say that
the lime is passed when such a substitution of white
labor for Asiatic could be slice, •ssfully accomplished.
The Asiatic is already in the field, he has possession of
the market, he can only be dispossessed by competi-
tion; and the futility of attempting to dispossess him
by competition is proved by experience whenever white
labor has clashed with brown. You may exclude fur
ther immigration by law, but you can not deport those
already on American soil or prevent their children
from becoming American citizens. The harm lias al-
ready been don, the horse has been stolen, anil the
planter is now trying to shut the stable door.
Vet if Hawaii is destined to come under the influ-
ence of Asiatic culture and the children of the planters
to reap the results, they have only the avarice ot' their
forefathers to blame for it. Had the planters used ill
iss.", the efforts they are now employing to get Euro-
pean settlers in the islands, to accomplish the same re-
sult, they would have fared better and the islands
would to-day have been Haole ami not Asiatic in as
pect. With a growing labor market on their hands
they had the privilege of filling it with Caucasian or
Mongolian, and they chose the latter. Now that the
market is full that privilege is withdrawn from them.

nag the fruits of his sins and vet •vln-n he reflects how
tlnse sins have been visited upon the islands and their
unfortunate proprietors as well, and to what extent
that visitation will be carried in the future, he cannot
turn away from the painful picture- without a sigh. —

Australian Notes.
( Cor the Coast Seamen's Journal.)
Just a few lines to inform you how we are
approaching or receding from the Workers'
Millennium.
As tlic workers all the world over are aware
ilir Australian unionists became fanatics on
the question of Compulsory Arbitration ami
we now have it with a vengeance, as it is ap-
plied to us by a capitalistic governmenl ami
accepted after strangulation by an apathetic
trade-union organization all over tin- State.
Clause after clause has been defined ami re-
lined by the legal fraternity (and always
against the unionists), so thai I he whole of
the substance lias disappeared, ami we have
the mere shadow, .lust imagine the Civil
High Court litis ruled thai the Arbitration
Court has no jurisdiction, so that you can see
we are as of old, in a game of poker with this
difference that the employer, like a sharper or
erook, stands pat, with the four aces up bis
sleeve. As any organization is liable to have
their funds seized if they go on the warpath
or strike, with the wealthy societies there is
no reason adduced thai wc should supply tic
capitalists, or enemies, with ammunition, as
our funds would be. so that we have to grin
and bear it a little longer its our Uussia lies
in the ballot box. and we are only now re-
ceiving that return for which we voted. 1
contend that the Labor party, with till its
faults, is (Mir only hope at the presenl time,
but- we have not yet sufficient members of our
own in tile Legislature of this country. One
thing can be said for our Labor legislators.
Not one of them has as yet been connected
with any shady or corrupt parliamentary
transaction. Ob. for a few Sam Smiths
among OUT legislators, or in trade-union cir-
cles.
The debate on socialism between llolinan.
of the Labor party, and our old friend. "Yes-
No" Reid, is on tap, and is keenly discussed
by the workers. All of us believe thai Hbl-
niaii has a very hard nut to crack, as Georgie
will not be defeated, for he will sit on a rail,
and will not discuss socialism but evade it.
and just simply gel the audience in good hu-
mor by cajolery and wit, so that if be docs not
win he will smile all the same. Reid is a poli-
tician from the go and is up to all tricks.
Our hotel or saloon keepers here tire dealing
with a very hard problem as far as our new
amended Liquor Act is concerned, its in the
first place no minors are served, and it is also
compulsory that all bartenders, male or
female, shall be not less than L'l years of age
and that no drink is on any consideration to
be sold on Sundays, or after 11 p. in. on week
days, and that no person shall be allowed on
licensed premises who is not a bona fide resi-
dent, under a penalty of £2, so thai a licensee
can not even invite his mother-in-law to din,
or visit him during any other than business
hours. That in itself may be a blessing which
the framer of the act himself is subject to. or
that very likely he has a cellar where bo call
stow a small cargo without any inconvenience
to himself in- household, bul it is pointed ,,ui
with a certain amount <>f truth thai it now
certainly induces the average man to stock
the larder on Saturday night, and the result
is that children are getting accustomed
drink in the homes of their parents, whereas
in former times it was obtained at the hotel
or saloon, and as this is rather a warm climate,
perhaps on account of it being nearer the sun
or the devil's abode, which accounts for the
reason thai we are a Holy doe ridden com-
munity, and it is now a battle between his
Satanic Nibs and the clergy, and in the mean-
time the liberty of man is gone, perhaps never
to return. The parsons are under the impres-
sion that now the average man will attend
church, but 1 am inclined to think they are
mistaken.
Maritime matters along tin- water front are
still fairly brisk.
.List now (plite a fleet of Vessels an til-
ing on the Australian Coast, and although
great, strides have taken place both in the
speed and carrying capacity of all classes of
vessels, yet the same old accommodation is still
in vogue For sailor and fireman. The splen-
did provisions of the laws or acts as apply-
ing to seamen were manufactured shortly
after Columbus returned to Spain and were
copied by the other European nations, ami as
a natural result were introduced into Aus-
tralia by Captain Cook and have remained
here since. In fact. 1 can prove to any one,
1 do not care who, that the crews' quarters of
twenty years ago were superior to what we
have now. I [ere is tin opening for some of our
politicians or any rising young Australian to
become a Sam Plimsoll. He will need no
school, simply go on board one of our modern
steamers, with eyes open, and find where do
the crews live, where do they eat. what do they
eat and bow is it cooked, where cooked and
by whom. See what the sanitary arrange-
ments arc and who looks after them, and who
can picture the results of the Seamen's Laws.
It is far easier for the reader 1 nceive than
it is for me to describe the conditions of the
seaman and fireman <m the Coasl of Australia-
Then a government will wonder why the aver-
age boy in this country does not take to thi
sea: the question answers itself. A Royal
Commission has just about finished its sitting*
They had what is termed an inquiry on Navi-
gation, so that some kind of an act can I"'
framed to suit this country. There was one
practical seaman on thai board, so what will
lie the result any one can imagine, and 1 sup-
pose that after it comes to light as an act it
will not be worth tin- paper it will be printed
on.
A debating club has just been formed at
the Trades Hall, under the auspices of Trades
Council, and all unionists are invited to join.
The contributions tire small and I think it will
be very successful, as it is a long felt want. BO
thai I wish success to the innovation ami the
same to the promoters.

Our "Friends" Heard From.
Our ancient and honorable friend, the
House of Have, has been heard from in thun-
derous, albeit somewhat uncertain, tones. Not
in years has its choler been so stirred as by
the "Bill of Grievances" recently presented to
President Roosevelt and Congress by the rep-
resentatives of organized labor. Following are
a few specimens of trust-made opinion on the
"Bill of Grievances," and organized labor's
"threat" against the present administration:
Mr. Gompers announces that if Congress is not
obedient the Federation of Labor will enter the field
of polities and urge organized labor to elect men of
their own choosing. This terrible threat will not be
apt to alarm anybody. Mystery and vagueness are the
powers of the so-called "labor vote." — New York Sun.
This is a fair sample of the sneering, con-
temptuous tone adopted by the trust-subsidized
press when commenting upon anything apper-
taining to organized labor. But, no doubt the
Sun still feels sore at the unmerciful drub-
bing it received at the hands of the Typo-
graphical Union, and this should be balanced
in its favor as an extenuating circumstance
when considering its want of respect for the
most important element of our citizenship.
Here's another:
On every proposition the President spoke with ad-
mirable directness and vigor. He showed not only that
he was fully informed, but that he was above all
thoughts of political expediency. Such tine disdain for
the tricks of the demagogue is truly inspiring. —
Chicago Record.
It is, indeed, "truly inspiring" to see the
President of the United States, a public serv-
ant, lecturing the representatives of several
million American workingmen as though they
were a bunch of schoolboys who had yet to
learn their political A B C. It is gratify-
ing lo know, however, that upon second
tin night Mr. Roosevelt evidently saw his mis-
take, as his "My dear Mr. Morrison" letter
attested. Still another:
The President is known to be a sincere friend of
labor, but he does not, consider that this means that
his friendship is restricted to any particular class of
labor. Tie stands for the free American workingman,
be he union or non-union. — Springfield Union.
Concerning the foregoing it is sufficient to
say that organized labor also — and pre-emi-
nently— "stands for the free American work-
ingman, be he union or non-union." Every
improvement in his life and conditions of
work which the non-union American working-
man enjoys to-day he owes to the strivings and
sacrifices of organized labor, for it is impos-
sible for organized labor to advance without
earrying on its back the non-union "Old Man
of the Sea." Hence, it is perfectly legitimate
on the part of organized labor to claim that
it represents all labor; and Mr. Roosevelt
could prove his alleged friendship for labor in
no better way than by respect for the wishes
of organized labor, and by lending his power-
ful aid in effecting the legislation which or-
ganized labor most justly demands. Again:
If the President had been less candid, clear-sighted
and resolute than he is, he might have been tempted to
coddle the memorialists, and avoid meeting the ques-
tions they presented. — Philadelphia Press.
His (the President's) remarks bear evidence of hav-
ing come from a man who had thought earnestly upon
the subject outlined in the Memorial, and who, hay-
ing fully made up his mind, did not need to search
for qualifying phrases in which to express some tim-
idly adopted opinions. — Minneapolis Journal.
The President was right in giving his visitors to
understand that the country would never consent to
deprive the courts of the power to issue injunctions in
proper cases. — Washington Post.
The tenor of the three foregoing quotations
seems to justify the claim by many that the
President is not really a public servant, but a
"Little Father," whose children, the poor,
ignorant workingmen, need to be lectured and
corrected with a firm hand when they so for-
get themselves as to doubt bis superior good-
ness and wisdom. To proceed:
Some of the most flagrant prostitutions of the laws
to dishonest and criminal ends are to be charged
against judges who owed their seat upon the bench to
union votes. — Denver Republican.
Every one who has kept posted on the po-
litical and industrial history of Colorado in
the past few years knows that the men repre-
sented by the Denver Republican have been
denounced by reputable citizens everywhere
as the most dangerous anarchists in the Unit-
ed States. It is laughable, therefore, to hear a
mouthpiece of capitalistic anarchists write
"stop thief" denunciations of union working-
men.
The American Federation of Labor is contemplat-
ing the advisability of placing a candidate of its own
in the field for the Presidency of the United States.
Well, Eugene Debs is always willing to run. — Los An-
geles Times.
Thanks, awfully, for the suggestion. But,
seriously, although organized labor is not con-
templating anything of the kind hinted at by
the Los Angeles Times, yet the possibility of
such a procedure in the not far distant future
is now recognized by many thoughtful work-
ingmen. The attitude of organized capital
toward organized labor plainly indicates that
workingmen have nothing to hope for from
that quarter. What more natural then than
that they should fall back upon their own re-
serve strength as citizens and voters to accom-
plish that which patient pleading has failed
to bring about? And now, that they have
served notice on the powers that be of their
intentions, it may be apropos, perhaps, to
quote the old saw: "Beware the fury of the
patient man !"
Union Items.
All great movements for the betterment of
men are essentially movements to eliminate
evils already existing in society, rather than
to establish "a new order of things." Even
as our bodies must be free from disease be-
fore they can attain their full vigor and de-
velopment, so human society must be purged
of its evils and dry rot, before humanity can
attain to anything really worthy of the name
of civilization. And, it is right here that the
trade-unions are showing their good sense.
Instead of wasting their time in experiment-
ing with Utopian schemes, utterly impossible
of realization as society is now organized, the
trade-unions go right ahead doing the work
that is nearest to hand — that is, attacking
every social evil which conies within their
purview as workingmen and citizens. So
far the most immediate evils have been
long hours of labor, low wages, and unsani-
tary and dangerous conditions of work ; but
the trade-unions have already made it plain
that when these evils have finally been elim-
inated the others will be duly attended to,
thus proving that organized labor is the only
social reformer that reforms anything.
The Haverstraw (X. V.) boatmen have been
on a strike some time now against the boat-
owners of that port. The Central Federated
Union, of New York, has appointed, a commit
tee with the view of bringing about a confer-
ence between the warring parties.
At the regular weekly meeting of the Brook-
lyn Central Labor Union, on March 25, the
following preamble and resolutions were
passed :
Whereas, The Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor has issued a statement to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the Members of Congress that in
the enactment of labor laws there is an utter disregard
for the interests of the working people; and
Whereas, The representatives of over two hundred
national and international organizations have also de-
cided that in order for the working people to gain
recognition from the lawmakers of this country it will
be necessary to emulate the example of our brothers
in Great Britain who have just elected fifty-two Mem
bers of Parliament ; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Central Labor Union of Brook-
lyn hereby indorses the position taken by the American
Federation of Labor ana the various national and in-
ternational unions; and be it further
Resolved, That the Legislative Committee of this
body be anu is hereby instructed to draft a circular
and forward a copy of the same to all central bodies
of this State with a view of forming a State organi-
zation for political purposes and the election of offi-
cials who will represent the interests of the people in
preference to the interests of corporate wealth.
Andrew Furuseth, legislative representative
of the International Seamen's Union of
America, was present at the meeting and took
a prominent part in the discussion which pre-
ceded the passage of the resolution.
Pursuant to instructions from the members
of the New York branch of the Atlantic Coast
Seamen's Union, in regular meeting assem-
bled, the agent of that branch, on March 27,
sent the following communication to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor:
To the Secretary of Commerce and Labor,
Washington, ±j. C.
Dear Sir: The schooner Nellie Floyd arrived here
(New York) last week from Georgetown, South Caro-
lina. The crew had been short of provisions, and
made complaint to the United States Shipping Com-
missioner at this port. The Commissioner called the
agent of tne vessel up by telephone, and they agreed
that the captain should be in the Commissioner's office
on Saturday, March 24. On said date a shipping
master, so-called, appeared at the office of the Com-
missioner with the shipping articles. The articles
were not made out by any United States Shipping
Commissioner; they were what the Commissioner term-
ed "outside articles," and he therefore refused to
take any action.
The United States Shipping Commissioner at this
port has refused upon numerous occasions to give re-
dress to seamen when they had signed so-called "out-
side articles." The members of this organization are
of the opinion that part of the United States Shipping
Commissioner's duty is to see that justice is done to
seamen, whether they have signed before the United
States Shipping-Commissioner or not.
Trusting you will give this matter your careful and
earnest attention, and that we will hear from you, I
am,
Yours respectfully,
August Gildemeister,
Business Agent.

The organized housesmiths of New York
and vicinity are now passing through a crisis
somewhat similar to that which threatened the
official life of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific
in 1893. An ex-convict has done the "confess-
ing act," implicating several of the officials
of the Housesmiths' Union in recent dynamite
outrages. On the side he has confessed to a
committee of the housesmiths that, for turning
State's evidence, he is to receive $1,000 in
cash, a free ticket to South Africa, and that
his family is to be provided for. On the face
of it, the whole thing looks like one of the
usual plots hatched by unscrupulous employ-
ers for the destruction of some hated trade-
union.

Captain Reilley, formerly in command of the steam-
er Montara, has been appointed master of the steamer
City of Topeka, succeeding Captain Cann.
The old clipper ship Glory of the Seas, recently pur-
chased by the Barneson-Hibbard Company, is being
placed in good condition, with new masts and yards.
The Chilean bark Alta, owned by A. P. Lorentzen
of this city, which was recently ashore at Manila, is
reported to have arrived at Hongkong, where she will
he repaired, at a cost of approximately $30,000.
The Senate Committee on Commerce has authorized
a favorable report on a bill appropriating $120,000
for a light vessel for the use of the Orford Reef, near
Cape Blanco, Or.
The British steamer Elleric has been chartered by
the Barneson-Hibbard Company to carry a cargo of
general merchandise from San Francisco to the Si-
berian coast.
The committee in charge of the presentation to the
United States cruiser California has decided that the
<rift of the State's citizens shall take the form of a
solid gold table service.
The House Territories Committee has reported bills
for filling in that portion of Honolulu Naval Station
known as The Reef and setting aside certain lands at
Hilo for Government purposes.
The steam-schooner Quinault was launched at Aber
deen, Wash., on April 9. A boy named Henry Johnson,
son of a shipyard employe, fell from the vessel's rail
prim- to the launch and received fatal injuries.
Representative Knowland has secured from the
House Naval Affairs Committee an increase of $40,000
in the appropriation recommended for the construction
of the training-ship intrepid, at Mare Island Navy
Yard.
There is a $10,000 insurance policy in the name of
Mildred Coles, the Valencia victim whose body was
exhumed at Victoria, B. C, on April 12 and identi-
fied by Mrs. Clausen of Minnesota, who will have
the body shipped East.
A telegram received at San Francisco on April 7 re-
ported that the American ship Arthur Sewall, pre-
viously reported as on the way from Philadelphia for
Manila, and grounding off .lava, has been surveyed and
found seaworthy. A1 last accounts the ship was dis-
charging pari of her cargo, and was apparently un-
damaged.
Articles of incorporation have been issued to the
new German Roland line, which will immediately in-
stitute service between Hamburg and all points on the
west coasl of South and Central America and Mexico
and San Francisco. The company is capitalized at
$1,904,000, and will have a fleet of six steamers, each
of 3,000 tons. They will compete with the Kosmos
line.
The latest estimate of the number of lives lost in the
hurricane which swept the Society Islands on February
7 and 8 is 150. Property losses will aggregate $1,-
500,000. The British ship County of Roxburgh of Clas-
gow, 2100 tons, J. E. Leslie, master, was wrecked at
Taharoa, Tuamotu Islands, and ten seamen were
drowned. A number of small French craft were also
wrecked, and part of their crews were drowned.
Nathan Frank, as attorney for the Barneson-Hib-
bard Company, filed libels aggregating $51,000 against,
a number of insurance companies. It is alleged in the
complaint that the Barneson-Hibbard Company had
certain amounts of merchandise on the Mariechen,
which sailed from Seattle for Vladivostok on Novem-
ber 24, 1905, and was wrecked at False Bay, Alaska,
January 25, 1906, and that the insurance companies
arc liable for loss of cargo.
German Consul Kaiser, at Washington, D. C, re-
ports that Mazatlan and San Francisco will soon have
two new steamship lines, making regular calls for pas-
sengers and freight traffic. It is announced that Axel
Johnson & Co., the Swedish steamship company, has
decided to extend its line of steamers now operating
between Swedish ports and Montevideo and Buenos
Ayres, to the West Coast, touching at Valparaiso, Cal-
lao, Panama, Manzanillo, Mazatlan and San Francisco.
The salmon packers' ships Oriental and Standard of
tin1 Alaska Packers' Association fleet, sailed from San
Francisco on April 14, for Bristol Bay, with Japanese
making up the crowd of cannery hands. Chinese for-
merly were employed in the canneries, but during the
past few days there has been such enmity existing be-
tween the various Chinese contracting firms that the
Japanese, who are in town in great numbers looking
for any opening, took advantage of the situation and
were engaged by the cannery superintendents.
A new Kosmos liner called the Setos is en route
to the Coast from Hamburg and Mediterranean ports,
by way of the Straits of Magellan. The Setos was
built exclusively for freight, and has a carrying ca-
pacity of 9000 tons. She has flush decks fore 'and aft,
with two masts. The Setos is expected to arrive at
San Francisco about June 10. The Elkab and other
new passenger and freight steamers built or building
for the Kosmos line will not make the latter port their
terminus, probably coming no farther north in the
Pacific than Central America.
Captain Joseph Suiter, accused of allowing a sea-
man afflicted with trachoma to escape from the Brit-
ish vessel Bardowie, was discharged by United States
Commissioner Heacock at San Francisco on March 27.
it was shown that the sailor had been sent to St.
Mary's Hospital, but that the master had exercised
due precaution to guard against his escape. In ad-
dition In this, Commissioner Heacock took into con
sideration a. recent, decision by District Judge .1. J.
De Haven, to the effect that the law which makes it
an offense to allow a diseased alien to land does not
apply to seamen.
Advices were received at Victoria, B. C, that Sir
William Lyle, Minister of Trade and Customs in Au-
stralia, will sail from Sydney for Canada on the new
turbine steamer Maheno, which started on her first
trip across the Pacific on April 16, being the first tur-
bine vessel to cross this ocean. The Australian Min-
ister is bound for Banff, where agents will come from
Ottawa to discuss trade matters between Australia
and Canada with a view to securing preferential
tariffs.
A stern-wheel steamer was launched from the yard
of John Twigg & Sons at San Francisco on April 1
and christened the Maria. The boat is 60 feet lorrg,
with a beam of 12 feet and a depth of three feet 10
inches. Thirteen days previously the keel was laid,
and now the whole craft is ready for shipment on one
of the south-bound steamers for Colombia, where she
will be used by General Cabrillo on tne upper rivers of
the isthmian republic in transporting miners ' supplies
and in exploring the headwaters of various streams.
The Maria is fitted with engines of 35 horse-power, and
will burn wood for fuel.
Tn a list of record sailing passages, fast and slow,
for the year 1905, it is seen that the French bark
Max, well known on the Pacific Coast in consequence
of the part she took in causing the loss of flic steamer
Walla Walla, made the fastest trip of the year from
here to Great Britain, reaching Queenstown in 109
days. Of nine vessels credited with fast passages over
the same route, five were French, which goes to show
that the Frenchmen do not anchor every night, as
used to be said of them. The longest trip from San
Francisco to England was made by the French bark
Francois, 202 days. From Great Britain to San Fran-
cisco the fastest passages of the year were made by
the Norwegian ship Lancing, 111 days from the Isle
of Wight, and by the American bark Homeward
Bound, Captain Thompson, 115 days from Portland,
England. The longest trip was that of the French
bark MacMahon, 212 days from Swansea. From San
Francisco to Sydney and Newcastle, Australia, the
fastest passage was by the French bark Gael, 4.'! days,
and the longest by the French bark Marguerite Mira-
band, 7G days.
The law of 1882 in regard to the overcrowding of
immigrant quarters in passenger ships is at present
being enforced at San Francisco. In compliance with
instructions from the Department of Commerce and
Labor, Collector of the Port Stratton has caused in-
spections to be made, with the result that a large
number of fines have been imposed, some of them for
considerable amounts. Secretary Metcalf has ap-
proved the fines and action to collect these will be
taken immediately, and failure to pay them will be
followed by civil prosecution by the United States
District Attorney. The fines are on account of over-
crowding, of inadequate dining facilities and of non-
separation of the sexes. The penalties imposed, the
names of the captains and ships, and the dates of
their arrivals are as follows: Captain Porter, Mon-
golia, January 26, $2250; Captain Green, Nippon
Maru, January 9, $1550; Captain Friele, China, Jan-
uary 31, $1560; Captain Hayward, Ventura, Febru-
ary 28, $540; Captain Smith, Doric, February 14,

Hatcheries in AlasKa.
It has long been apparent to observers that
the stupendous drain upon Alaska's salmon
resources, though the latter be regulated and
husbanded as carefully as possible, must ul-
timately exhaust the fisheries unless they are
maintained by artificial propagation. The at-
tempt to accomplish this by exacting the
maintenance of adequate hatcheries by pri-
vate parties engaged in the salmon packing
business having proved a failure, an appro-
priation was made by Congress at the last ses-
sion for one hatchery, which was built this
summer, and it is hoped that the scope of this
work will be extended by the building of ad-
ditional plants of this character until the out-
put of fry shall be in a ratio equal at least to
the drain upon the present natural supply.
To meet this demand is an immense under-
taking, but by no means an impossible one,
.juduing by what has been done in other lines
of fish culture. The take of salmon in Alas-
kan waters is usually about 30,000,000 a year,
and on a basis of ten fry for each mature fish
there would now be required an annual plant-
ing of 300,000,000 young. The estimate of
the correct ratio is probably too low, for it is
doubtful that one-tenth of the fry success-
fully run the gauntlet of the perils that con-
front them from the time of leaving the hatch-
ery until their return to the spawning ground.
It is likely that a ratio of thirty to one would
be nearer the mark. This would mean I he
hatching and distribution of 900,000,000 fry
in Alaskan waters, and would call for at leasl
four very large hatcheries and a regular force
of not less than 100 employes.
Though this would seem to require a greal
expenditure of public funds for the mainten-
ance of an industry not of the first magni-
tude, it is to be remembered that the tax on
canned and salted salmon has thus far pro-
duced a gross revenue to the national treas-
ury of more than $500,000 and affords an an-
nual income, on the average, of $75,000. The
initial outlay for hatchery plants would not
exceed one-half of the money that has already
been received from this interest, and the
yearly maintenance on a liberal scale could
possibly be met from the tax payments, even
though no charge were made against the pack-
ers for the fry planted, as has been suggested.
Inasmuch as no such burden of taxation is
put upon those who take fish from the sea
anywhere in the United States except in
Alaska, it surely would be no great stretch of
Governmental generosity to employ all the
funds so received for the benefit of these fish-
eries. There is a large and growing senti-
ment favorable to such action, and upon its
being taken promptly the permanence of the
Alaska salmon resources depends. — Report of
United States Special Agent Kutchin for
1905.
Rotterdam is now in point of tonnage the
second seaport in importance of Continental
Europe. This is brought out by the figures
for 1905, which have just been made up. The
total was 8,637,000 tons, an increase of 757,500
over 1904. Hamburg entered 1,118 ships for
1905, with 10,382,000 tonnage, thus being the
first, port in standing. Antwerp's figures of
9,846,700 tonnage are on a different basis
from the other two cities and must be discount-
ed 15 per cent for comparison. The real har-
bor traffic of Antwerp was 8,369,000 tons. The
new waterway to Rotterdam is steadily in-
creasing her shipping.

CHAMBERLAIN ON ALLOTMENT.
Mr. E. T. Chamberlain, Commissioner of
Navigation, in liis Annual Report for L905,
deals with tlir operation of the Allotment law
in a manner fairly illustrative of the advan-
tages accruing to the seamen under recent
legislation on that subject. On this point we
quote the Report in full, as follows:
The Seamen's Allotment law (Sec. 24, Act of De-
cember 21, 1898) continues to confirm the anticipation
of its advocates Beven and eight yean ago. For the
past four fiscal years the following number of allot-
ment notes have been approved by Shipping-Commis-
sioners :
Y,.;,,-. To Creditors. To Relatives. Total.
1902 4.-.M4 240 4,454
L903 3,875 284 4,159
1904 3,479 287 3,766
L905 2,514 304 2,818
The number of allotment notes to so-called creditors
shews a steady and satisfactory decrease. Under the
jjuise of these allotment notes seamen were formerly,
under the forms of law, deprived of a considerable part
of their earnings.
Doubtless there are occasional wrongs under the
present system, but the Bureau believes, both from
statistics and from the cessation of complaints, which
were Erequenl ten years ago, that the law has fully jus-
tified its enactment. The Bureau has been urged on
the one hand to favor a hill to permit allotments in
the coasting trade again, and on the other to recom-
mend the total abolition of allotments by statute.
Either change would lie injudicious. The former
proposition would inevitably lead to a return of the
abuses uf the old system. An attempt to abolish allot-
ments altogether was followed in two years by the re-
peal of tli.' law enacted for that purpose, and by a re-
turn to a system so unsatisfactory as to force the en-
actment of the law of 1898. Under the powers vested
in this office by that law the allotment of wages in ad-
vance of the time when they have been earned can be
gradually reduced to the minimum.
In fact, the returns show actual progress toward
that end. The law, of course, should not be credited
exclusively with the result. The steady decline in
square-rigged ships and the gradual substitution of
line steamers lor "tramps" in nearly every direction
of foreign trade has accelerated the workings of the
law. So large a proportion of the foreign trade of this
country is carried on in British ships that the SUi
of the law would have been imperiled without the n,
operation of British maritime authorities at home and
in the consular service in the United states. This co-
operation has been cordial.
The increase in allotments to dependent relatives is
slight, but satisfactory. This form of the system en-
ables the seaman to sn\e part of his wages for the
benefit of his family. Net it is seldom employed.
Tn encourage the saving of seamen's wages, the
Postmaster of New York, at the request of the ship-
ping Commissioner at that port, established in the
Shipping-Commissioner's office on April 1, 1905, a
postal station, in order that seamen might thus have
the customary postal facilities for forwarding to ab-
sent relatives a portion of their earnings by registered
letter or ney order. A report of the Postmaster,
dated September 1!». shows that at this office no regi*-
t,-v whatever was transacted, ami that the
total number of money orders issued was twenty-eight,
or an average of but one a week.
In contrast the Bureau is informed by officers ..(' the
Legal Aid Society that seamen who had been paid off
at the British consular shipping ofticc transmitted
through the Protestant Episcopal Missionary Society
$2,552 to their homes in England during the single
week ending October 14, 1905. The Bureau stands
ready to co-operate in any plan to promote thrift
among seamen on American vessels, but it must be
borne in mind that any such plan has a serious obstacle
to overcome in the lack of homogeneity in the news
of our vessels compared with thn t most other for-
eign nations.
-Mr. Chamberlain's observations make in-
teresting reading to those who recall the fierce
controversy waged immediately before and
after the passage 0f the Maguire and White
Acts, of 1895 and 1898, respectively. The
laws abolishing allotment in the coastwise
trade and reducing by one-half the amount of
allotment permissible in the Eoreign-going
trade were conceived by the International
Seamen 's Union of America and passed by
Congress at the instance of that body, in spite
of powerful opposition from other sources.
.Much barm was predicted of tin- Allotment
law. For one thing, the new law. so it was
Confidently declared, would deprive " Poor
•lack"' of the wherewithal to Secure a "sea-
stock,"' since the crimps would not advance
the needful upon the mere chance of being
repaid at the end id' the voyage. "Poor Jack"
is so unreliable in money matters, you know!
Again, so many voyages never come to an
end. you know! These dire predictions have
ceased of late. The seaman secures his sea-
stock as usual — in fact, more than usual — and
the crimp is none the worse off, at least in re-
spect to any legitimate claims he may have
upon the seaman. The stun total of the affair
is that the seaman is now able to provide for
himself, while the crimp, being unable to rob
thi' seaman in the first instance, is under no
compulsion to befriend him in the last in-
stance.
Concerning .Mr. Chamberlain's suggestion
that the total abolition of allotment would be
"injudicious," we are still of opinion that
what has proved good in a limited degree
would prove still better in the last degree.
The reference to the failure of a former at-
tempt to abolish all allotment is pertinent
only as indicating the cause of most failures
in the same connection. In 1884 Congress
abolished advance — an altogether different
thing from allotment, by the way. The law-
failed because the Government refused to sup-
port the shipping-commissioners in enforcing
it. In 1886 the old Allotment law was passed,
with a provision for payment to the "original
creditor" (otherwise known as the crimp),
which provision practically re-established the
previously existing system id' advance. With
honest and intelligent co-operation on the
part of the authorities, there is every reason
to believe that the total abolition of allotment
to the "original creditor" would prove prac-
ticable and advantageous to all legitimate in-
terests.
It is interesting to note that Commissi >r
Chamberlain, in the same Report, shows that
the percentage of "desertions" among seamen
during the year was 2.71, as compared with
3.4 during 1904, and 4.3 during 1903. An-
other dire prediction gone galley west! When
the organized seamen were fighting for the
right to leave their vessels (i. e. "desert").
they were told that such a thing would greatly
increase the number of desertions; that ves-
sels would be tied-up for want of crews, and
that commerce would go plumb to the devil.
Behold the official figures! If the official Core-
sighl of what is likely to happen were only
equal to the official figures, published several
years after the thing has happened, the Com-
missioner of Navigation would now be recom-
mending the passage of the legislation de-
manded by the seamen ami their friends. As
it is, the seamen will have to make their own
fight, meantime consoling themselves with the
assurance that after — say five or ten years
after — they have won. the official reports will
come oid with a declaration that the law
"continues to confirm the anticipation of its
advocates" !
Recent events prove that there is something
radically wrong with the Federal authorities
at Eureka, Cal. The British ship Langdale
was minus a crew and applied to a certain
notorious land shark at San Francisco for
men. A crew was secured by this individual
and shipped to Eureka. When the men dis-
covered that they had been broughl to Eurekl
under falsi- pretenses they very properly re-
fused to go to work on the Langdale. There-
upon all were thrown in jail. Subsequently
nine of the men were dismissed because they
claimed to be American born. The remaining
tour seamen, however, were placed aboard in
irons and forced to go to sea against their will.
One of the men thus deprived of his liberty
by an obliging official claimed to be an Ameri-
can citizen by virtue of his father's natural
ization. 1 1 is assertion was proved to be true
twenty-four hours after the ship had crossed
the liar. Our much vaunted constitutional
rights as citizens of the United States of Amer-
ica are nothing but a howling farce if a
eiti/en can be deprived of his liberty and serf
in sea in a foreign vessel against his will
simply because he is not at all times in pos-
session of documentary evidence of his Ameri-
can citizenship.
The Seamen's bill, known to readers of the
JOURNAL as the Livernash hill, has been in-
troduced al the present session of Congress
by Representative Spight, of Mississippi. Mr.
Spfghl was a member- of the late .Merchant
Marine Commission and has endeavored to
familiarize himself with the Seamen's needs.
The bill, which is known as II. R. 17724. has
Keen somewhat improved, and contains prac-
tically all id' the organized Seamen's legisla-
tive demands. To be sure, the bill has no
possible chance of passage during this session
of Congress, but "to-morrow is also a day,"
and the day is perhaps not so very far off
when a number of the arrogant "servants of
the people" who are at present serving the
subsidy-grabbers will be relegated to a life of
seclusion at home. General Grosvenor, who
has always been an opponent of progressive
legislation, has already been selected to
lead the has-beens out of the Halls of
Congress next fall and as he is re-
puted to be a good leader we may e\| I to
see him go home with a good following. Soon-
er or later the Seamen's bill will become a
law — all opposition notwithstanding'
The resolution adopted by the Board of Su-
pervisors of San Francisco, calling upon May-
or Schmitz to telegraph Congressman Hayes to
urge that Congress declare in favor of "Amer-
ican crews for American ships or no subsidy
is timely and has a true ring. We arc in-
clined to think, however, that a single corpora-
tion, namely, the Pacific Mail Steamshi]
has more influence in the present Congress
than the entire Board of Supervisors of San
Francisco.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Whereas, The frequent arrival at San Francisco and
other Pacific Coast ports of large numbers of Japanese
laborers, coming from the Territory of Hawaii, affords
strong ground for the belief that said laborers are
brought to the United States under contracts nominally
made in the Territory of Hawaii, but in reality en-
tered into in Japan, and therefore in violation of the
Alien Contract Labor laws; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League, that this condition constitutes an emergency
demanding prompt and vigorous action by Congress;
further
Resolved, That these resolutions be forwarded to the
Senators and Representatives from California in the
Congress of the United States, with an urgent request
for legislative action to prevent the further evasion of
the spirit of the existing laws designed to protect the
American people from enforced competition with labor
of a low industrial and moral standard.
The fore<?oinp: resolutions, adopted by the
Japanese and Korean Exclusion League, of
San Francisco, at a. recent meeting, deal with
a situation that demands immediate action by
Congress, or at least by those members of that
body who still recognize any degree of re-
sponsibility to the people. The recent large
influx of Jap laborers is plainly and openly so
much contract labor. To say that because
such labor comes by way of Hawaii, it can
no1 be stopped is to acknowledge the preced-
ence of form over fact. The Alien Contract
Labor laws were enacted to protect the Amer-
ican people against just such evils as this of
the Jap invasion, and they should be enforced
in that light.
In accord with the plan generally followed by the
California Bureau of Labor Statistics the aid of the
press was solicited in giving publicity to the positive
enforcement of the Child Labor Law. Throughout the
entire State this aid has been cheerfully given, but in
Los Angeles we found one exception. The proprietor
of a great daily newspaper, when solicited to bring
this matter before the public, in the interest of both
tlic employer and the child, demanded in return for his
aid in this humane work that our department of the
State Government should aid him in smashing the
labor unions.
The foregoing is an extract from an ad-
dress delivered by State Labor Commissioner
W. V. Stafford, at a recent meeting of the
Commonwealth Club, in San Francisco. It
does not require a great, deal of guessing to
name the would-be union-smasher of Los An-
geles. The "hero" of the Rubicon is willing
to lend his assistance in the enforcement of
the law which protects children, provided, the
State Labor Bureau aids him in his favorite
hobby — union-smashing. Surely, the devil in-
carnate could scarcely make a more fiendish
proposition !
The article on page one of this issue gives
a clear and concise history of the race problem
existing in the Hawaiian Islands. Shall we
witness similar conditions on the Pacific
coast, or shall the mainland remain a white
man's country.' It is up to you, fellow-agi-
tators, to demand that the Chinese Exclusion
Ac| be extended so as to include all Mongoli-
ans. If the subject is left in the bands of
our safe, sane ami conservative statesmen
California will soon have a race problem of
her own.
Tom Lauder, who while residing at San
Francisco was a valued contributor to the
Journal, has returned to his- native land,
Australia, and is presiding in the editorial
sanctum of "The Barrier Truth" of Broken
Hill, N. S. W. Mr. Lauder's high literary
ability will make the "Truth" one of the
foremost, if not the best, of the many able
labor journals of the commonwealth of Aus-
tralia.

TRADE-UNION POLICY
In a recent issue of the Journal the now
famous "Bill of Grievances" was published
and commented upon. It was pointed out at
the time that "in advocating that the people,
and especially the working people, should elect-
to Congress and other legislative bodies men
who can be trusted to serve the people's inter-
est, rather than those of the people's masters
and enemies, the American Federation of La-
bor is doing what it has done right along since
its inception."
The subjoined resolutions have been adopt-
ed at successive conventions of the American
Federation of Labor, and until further action
is taken must be regarded as the practical
policy of the trade-union movement of Amer-
ica:
Political Action. — That the American
Federation of Labor most firmly and unequiv-
ocally favors the independent use of the bal-
lot by the trade-unionists and workingmen,
united regardless of party, that we may elect
men front our own ranks to make new laws
and administer them along the lines laid
down in the legislative demands of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and at the same
time secure an impartial judiciary that will
not govern us by arbitrary injunctions of the
courts, nor act as the pliant tools of corporate
wealth.
That as our efforts are centered against all
forms of industrial slavery and economic
wrong, we must also direct our utmost ener-
gies to remove all forms of political servitude
and party slavery, to the end that the working
people may act as a unit at the polls at every
election.
THOROUGH Unity. — We reaffirm as one of
the cardinal principles of the trade-union
movement that the working people must unite
and organize, irrespective of creed, color, sex,
nationality, or politics.
Working Overtime. — We advise strongly
against the practice which now exists in some
industries of working overtime beyond the es-
tablished hours of labor, particularly in these
times, when so many unemployed are strug-
gling for an opportunity to work. It is an
instigator of the basest selfishness, a radical
violation of union principles, and whether on
piece work or day work, it tends to set back
the general movement for the eight hour day.
The Eight Hour Workday. — Trade-unions
should hold open and public meetings once a
month, in their usual meeting halls, and invite
non-union men and the public to attend and
help forward the inauguration of the eight
hour workday.
Canada-New Zealand Line.
The Canadian Government at Ottawa has
concluded a contract with the Bucknall Steam-
ship Company for a direct line between Vic-
toria and Vancouver and three ports in New
Zealand. There are to be not less than six
round trips per annum, the subsidy being $50,-
000, with the understanding that New Zea-
land will give a similar bonus.
Two of the 13 steamers operated by the
Bucknall Company, the Afrikander and Bu-
centaur, now in European ports, will be over-
hauled and placed in the service to open next
July. Agents are now arranging a sailing
schedule for the new line. The New Zealand
ports to be touched are. Auckland, Dunedin,
Wellington, Lyttleton, and Bluff. A call will
also be made at Sydney, Australia.

Big DocK for MilwauKee.
The Milwaukee-Western Fuel Co. this sum-
mer will build a monster coal dock at the foot
of Greenfield ave., Milwaukee, that will cost
over $500,000. The structure will have a
frontage along the river of 1,450 feet and it
will have a storage capacity of 300,000 tons.
It will be capable of loading 150 cars daily and
it will be able to accommodate two of the men
ster 600-foot steel steamers.
Three- monster cranes, operated by ef
ity, that will permit the unloading of 5,000
tons of coal from boats in ten hours, will be
installed.
The Sharkey Construction Co. has secured
the contract for the substructure work, which
will be of wood. The steel structural contracts
have been let to Pittsburg firms. It is expect-
ed that the dock will be ready to receive conl
August 1.
Officers of the Milwaukee-Western Co. say
that with a dock of the kind proposed they « •'
he able to keep enough coal in storage to sup
ply the trade for several months.

Shower Baths for Crews.
Aiming to be in the lead in all progressive
moves, the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit
Company has announced that its palatial pas-
senger steamers City of Erie and City of Buf-
falo will be equipped this season with shower
baths for the members of the crew. This an-
nouncement was made by William F. Herman,
general passenger agent of the company. It
is an important innovation and means much to
the rank and file in the business.
The tendency of the lakes at present is to
equip boats in a most complete mancr, but it
is a fact that there are not many boats with
shower baths for the crew. Some of the latest
built freighters have them, but a great per-
centage of the boats are without anything of
the kind. It is likely, however, that all boats
built in the future will have shower baths.
Another important feature of the equip-
ment on the big boats is the condition of th<
life-saving apparatus. Everything has been
clone to make this department a perfect one,
no expense being spared to do it. In con-
nection with this idea the general condi-
tion of the steamers also has been carefully
looked into. General Manager Newman says
he believes in having everything as near ship-
shape as it can be.
The engines of each boat were all taken
apart during the winter months, piece by piece
and replaced in a faultless condition. The fifty-
eight-ton paddle-wheels have received the same
scrupulous attention. In the engineer's de-
partment new and modern dynamos have been
installed to furnish light for the boat.
Welcome Island Lighthouse.
The Canadian government has erected a
lighthouse on the northeastern end of Wel-
come Island in Thunder Bay, Lake Superior.
The light will be put in operation as soon as
the season opens.
It stands on land 80 feet above the lake
level and 150 feet back from the water's edge.
It is 38 feet high from its base to the top of
the ventilator on the lantern. The light will he
a lixed white one 112 feet above the surface
of the water. It is expected it will lie visible
Ki miles from all points of approach by water.
On the cape at the entrance of Thunder
Bay, the Canadian government announces that
a stronger fog alarm, operated by compressed
air, is being installed. The new lighthouse
and improved alarm it is expected, will great
ly lessen the danger to mariners cruising on
that treacherous part of the lake.
Another Kirby Boat.
The passenger steamer ITendrik Hudson,
building for the Hudson River Day line, was
launched at the yard of the Thomas S. Marvel
Shipbuilding Co., at Newburgh, N. Y., on
March 31. The vessel was designed by Frank
E. Kirby, and he was present at the erre-
mony. The new ship is 400 feet long, 82 feet
over the decks, and 14 feet deep. Her passen-
ger capacity is said to be 5,000, and it is
claimed for her that, she will be the acme of
a passenger steamer. The paddle wheel shaft
will be below deck, and passengers will not be
obliged to pass under or mount steps to go
over it. Steam will be supplied by eight great
boilers, and the vessel is expected to show a
speed of 23 or 25 miles an hour. The old
walking beam, so familiar on Hudson river

Miscellaneous.
The burning of the Fall River line steamer
Plymouth affords a striking proof of the truth
of the allegations made by the Seamen's Union
and others that nothing whatever has ! o
(lone by the authorities since the Slocum dis-
aster to safeguard travel on thai kind of ves-
sel. The Plymouth was just such another
floating tinder-box as the Slocum; a towering
superstructure of oil-painted, resinous pine-
wood, mounted upon a low, flimsy steel hull.
Although she was tied up to her dock in New-
port, R. I., and had plenty of watchmen and
■a gang of longshoremen on hoard at the time,
yet the fire spread so swiftly after it started
that those men had to jump for their lives,
and even then one of these was overtaken by
the flames and burned to death. Had the fire
broken out while the Plymouth was steaming
through Lone Island Sound, or while round
ing Point Judith, there would have been 00
earthly escape for her passengers and crew
from the fate which overtook the Slocum "s
victims. But, so long as the. public will stand
lor Slocum disasters, the steamship companies
mav he relied upon to furnish the Slocums.
The report of Assistant Secretary of State
Peirce, anenl the total unfitness for their posi-
tions of several of our Consular representa-
tives in China, ought to convince our pro-
Chinese fellow-citizens that we can not afford
to abate one iota of either the letter or the
spirit of our Chinese Exclusion laws. A fine
hunch of -rafters those Consuls seem to have
been to he intrusted with the important offi-
cial function of issuing certificates to Chinese
"travelers" on the point of departing for the
United Slates. And yet. the press organs of
the "saviours and custodians of our national
honor" will no doubt go on as blithely as ever
telling us that, because we have, ex necessitate
rei. appointed our Consuls to represent us
abroad, we are therefore estopped from as-
suming that they are corrupt. But. of course.
in solemnly enunciating specious politico-
economic syllogisms, with Q. E. 1). clinchers
thrown in for good measure, the mouthpieces
of the trusts are simply doing what they are
paid for. All of which points the moral to the
workingmen of the United States that eternal
vigilance is the price of Chinese Exclusion.
The annual spring rush of immigrants
has begun with a vengeance. The number of
arrivals via Ellis Island during the week end-
ing February 17. greatly exceeded the record
for the corresponding week of last year, more
than 11,000 immigrants arriving on the first
two days of that week. Italians were in the
lead among the nationalities represented, but
most of these were of that class which comes
here to work through the summer and eoesback
to Italy in the late autumn. This phase of our
immigration problem has so far not received
the attention which its gravity demands.
While the healthy immigrant of good moral
character who >-")tles in the country, and ac-
quires a permanent residence, may he a dis-
tinct gain to us. even President Eliot or An-
drew Carnegie, will hardly question the un-
desirahility of the immigrant who comes here
to work eighl months in the year, and goes
home to spend the remaining four months and
the money he has earned.

The acme of the ambition of the average
citizen seems to have been reached when his
picture heads a column or two id' Laudatory
puffs iii the local Sunday paper. As Pope
said:
No economic principle is so well established
as that the limit of a nation's prosperity is the
limit of the spending power of its people. Now
then, where would he our prosperity such as
it is were it not for the high wages our work-
ingmen are earning 1 And where would the
high wages of our workingmen he were it not
for their unions. And where, oh where, would
organized labor he were the Eliots. Posts ami

Work for Direct Legislation and the Recall !
A New York newspaper has figured out that
the recent conventions held by the coal miners,
and their conferences with the operators,
must have cost a tidy sum of money, com-
menting thereon that "it all came out of the
pockets of the poor miners." This is one of
the many newspapers that, some- months ago
approvingly quoted a speech of a certain
clergyman— also quoted by President Roose-
velt— to the effect that the more money the
miners earned, the more they would spend on
liquors, the inference being, of course, that the
less money they had to spend the hotter Eor
the good of their souls. Verily, "consistency
thou art a jewel." Also, it's apparently a
poor newspaper "story" that won't lit both
sides of an argument.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Labor News.
Representative Sibley has introduced
a bill in Congress, preventing officers 01
agents of the Government from buying
goods made by convict laborers.
Sixty-three labor organizations and re-
form associations met at Chicago, 111., on
April 8, and launched a new political
party organization, which is to be the
nucleus of a national party.
Immigration officers at Los Angeles,
CaL, have uncovered plans for the most
extensive wholesale smuggling of Chinese
into the United States ever undertaken
in Southern California.
In accordance with a ten days' notice
given thirty furniture and glass fac-
tories at Charlotte. N. C, locked out all
their employes who belong to Labor
unions. About 600 men and boys are
idle.
Secretary of State William N. Clin of
Massachusetts has suspended the license
of the Metropolitan Coal Company, of
Boston, which had been charged with
fixing extortionate prices on coal since
the coal strike was inaugurated.
The Canadian Minister of the Interior
has prepared a new Immigration Act
which will be more workable than the
present one and will make it more diffi-
cult for immigrants of the vagrant or
criminal classes to enter Canada.
The organized workers of Havana.
Cuba, are on strike against the ''Open
Shop" demands of the employers, orig-
inating in a street car dispute. A sym-
pathetic movement throughout the Island
is being urged.
A Mover, Haywood and Pettibone pro-
test meeting held in San Francisco on
April 8, under the auspices of the Social-
ists and Industrial Workers of the World,
ended in a riot, during which a large
number of arrests were made.
The tugnien of Chicago, III., struck on

of every third night and every third Sun
day, as is the present arrangement.
In compliance with their promise of
April 8, the majority of the stevedores
at Havana struck in support of the em-
ployes of the Havana Electric Railroad,

duced many other wharf and harbor em-
ployes to follow their example.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, appeared
before the House Committee on Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries in opposi-
tion to the ship subsidy bill. His prin-
cipal opposition to the bill was that it
required American labor to be conscript
ed into the navy in order to get employ-
ment.
One hundred printers employed in the
National Printing Office were discharged
on April 7 by Public Printer Stillings,

a number of others shortly will be
dropped.
Strong influences are at work in tin
House of Representatives to prevent the
passage of any Chinese legislation. The
bill it is proposed to report providing
for the inspection of immigrants in
China is not particularly objectionable
to the California delegation, but they
would rather not have any legislation
whatever. The House and Congressional
committee leaders have been told that if
the exclusion matter is let alone Cali-
fornia will send a solid Republican dele-
gation to the sixtieth < 'ongress, but that
if legislation is passed labor may be-
come agitated with the result that some
Republican Congressional candidates
may be defeated.

SAN FRANCISCO IN RUINS
The Four-Day Fire
Fully 350,000 people in San Francisco arc
homeless and are camping in the streets,
parks and along the beach of the bay and
ocean, from Channel street to the Cliff
House. Starvation is facing the people who
were driven before the fire. Supplies of all
descriptions are needed and unless sufficient
immediate relief is sent serious suffer-
ing will he entailed on the women, children
and babes.
The devastation of Wednesday's raging
fire was made more full and complete by the
continuous fire Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day. The conflagration of Wednesday was
confined principally to the business portion.
The fire on succeeding days was all in the
residence district and found the wooden
structures an easy prey. It is estimated
that more than three-fourths of San Fran-
cisco has been burned.
The hopes of the people were raised on
several occasions as the valiant firemen
seemed to have stemmed the fiery flood, but
the flames would break out afresh and shat-
ter the hopes of the home and property
owners.
Block by block the fire advanced, merci-
lessly driving the people before it with the
scourge of flame.
Whole families were driven out during the
night. In many cases after the families had
established camps in the streets they were
again compelled to move as the devouring
flames traveled much faster than had been
calculated.
The outskirts of the city present a most
remarkable appearance. The only way of
reaching the ferries from the greater portion
of San Francisco is by going due north to
the bay and then following the bay streets
until the ferries are reached. This roadway
presented a wondrous and infinitely sad
spectacle. A caravan of women, men and
children were on the roadway, slowly ad-
vancing toward the ferry, pulling, dragging
or carrying their belongings.
The caravan was seemingly endless. It
wound its sinuous course here and there.
Each street that opened on to the roadway
added to the stream of bedraggled, suffering,
hungry and homeless people.
Here one old woman carried a gurgling
babe in one arm, while in the other were all
her earthly belongings. '
At another point a frail mother sits or lies
along the roadway, thirsty, tired and dis-
pirited, perhaps a mile or two from the
ferry. The only consolation she has is the
innocent prattle of her child or children.
After a little rest she bravely arises and
makes another attempt to reach the ferry.
And thus the homeless caravan moves —
with just one desire. To get away from
desolate, smoke-besotted, fire-scourged San
Francisco. It is a sight to melt the hearts
of gods into sympathy and tears.
More than 100,000 persons have fled from
San Francisco. The railroad officials esti-
mate that fully 100,000 have left the one-
time metropolis for the Oakland side of the
bay.
The other homeless who have been unable
to leave San Francisco, and who have sought
! safety by just keeping ahead of the fire, are
scattered for ten miles along the beach. A
few have tents, but the majority have only
1 had clothing. Some are without cooking
utensils. Already there has been some suf-
fering, which will become very intense.
Great quantities of milk, cooking utensils,
tents, blankets and substantial food are
needed at once.
The Red Cross Society and other charit-
able workers are doing everything in their
power, but even their efforts fall short in
al tending to the wants of 250,000 people who
have nothing over them but the blue canopy
of heaven.
Asked for an estimate of the loss in San
Francisco, Holla V. Watt, manager for the
Royal and Queen Insurance companies,
said: "I have made a rough guess of $200,
000,(11)1). Others say $500,000,000. The subject
is almost too vast for human computation.
No one can give more than a guess at this
time."'
Lodging Houses Fall
Smith of .Market street the loss of life was
mostly brought about by the collapsing of
many cheap and crowded lodging houses.
Among others, the caving-in of the Royal,
corner Fourth and Minna streets, added to
the horror of the situation by the shrieks of
J its many scores of victims embedded in the
j ruins and who were unable to escape from
the mass of timbers which buried them. In-
sistently they implored for help, apparently
even in their agony realizing that the fire
was close upon them. Many of the more
[fortunate who had escaped from surround-
ing houses worked hard to liberate the vic-
tims before it became too late. As the fire
crept steadily onward the shrieks still con-
tinued until in despair the rescuers were
forced back.
The collapsing of the Portland House, on
Sixth street between Mission and Market,
came about in a similar manner. Fully
sixty persons were entombed midst the crash
of timbers and brick, their agonizing cries
for relief being heard half a block away.
.Many of these were saved before the fire
eventually crept to the scene and were hur-
riedly driven to the relief hospital organized
at the Mechanics' Pavilion.
The large five-story Brunswick rooming
house, with its .300 rooms filled with guests,
collapsed to the ground entirely and fire
started amidst the ruins scarcely five min-
utes later. It is estimated that over 300
persons lost (heir lives.
Part of the large Cosmopolitan House,
corner Fifth and Mission streets, collapsed
a I the very first temblor. Many of (lie
sleepers were buried in the ruins, others es-
caping to the si reels in (heir night clothes.
At 775 Mission street, the Wilson House,
with ils four stories and eighty rooms, fell
to the ground a mass of ruins. So far as
known, very lew of the inmates were
rescued.
The Denver House, on lower Third street,
wilh ils many rooms, fared the same fate,

UNION RECORDS SAFE
It is regarded as nothing less than a mir-
acle thai the old brick building which has
for is years been the home of the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific and the ('hast Ska
men's Journal survived the earthquake
and the fire. The old building is badlj
shaken, hut will remain the headquarters of
the Sailors" Union until further notice. The
building occupied by the Pacific <'<>ast Mu-
rine Firemen's Union is razed to the ground.
The home of the -Marine Cooks and Stew-
ards' Association and the Bay and River
Steamboatmen of California is also demol-
ished, partly by the earthquake and partly
by fire. The office of the Fishermen's Union
Of the Pacific Coasl and Alaska is in good
condition, being located on the lower floor
in the Sailors' Union Building. The records
and hooks of the various maritime organiza-
tions are kept in the safes at the respective
headquarters, hence all will be ready for use
when the wreckage is cleared away.
The- issue of the Journal of April L8
1906, was printed and ready for mailing at
the usual hour on Wednesday last. How-
ever, the entire issue, with the exception of
a few copies which were delivered at the
Joi bnal office on the previous evening,
was destroyed by fire in the printing estate
lishnienl of .lames II. Barry. The building
occupied by the Jas. II. Barry Co. on the
corner of Montgomery and Sacramento
streets, was burned to the -round. Mr.
Barry has secured temporary quarters a1
Berkeley, bul will resume business in
San Francisco a1 the earliest opportunity.
Seamen and others arriving at San Fran-
cisco while the city is under martial law,
should bear in mind that they must obey |

wears (he uniform of Uncle Sam. Take
no chances nor endeavor to argue the
point for your life will be at stake. It is re-
liably reported that several members of In-
ternational Seamen's Union have been shoi
in the streets because they were not aware
of the above facts.
The -loi KNAi.. although somewhat di-
minished in size and temporarily minus
Lakes and Atlantic departments, is still on
deck and will be published regularly here-
after. As soon as arrangements can be made
the paper will be enlarged to the usual six-
ieen pages. All old advertisements will be
published in the regular position at the
earliest possible convenience.
The Marine Hospital is in' good condition.
The earthquake did little damage and the
tire did not get near the buildings. It is ex-
pected that the situation will be such on
next Sunday that the usual supplies may
be taken to the members in the Hospital.
THE GENERAL SITUATION
Editor Macarthur was in Erie, Pa., when
earthquake and tire devastated his home city.
The conference between Seamen and Long-
shoremen, recommended by the last conven-
tion of the American Federation of Labor,
was called for the verj daj (April 18) when
the terrible calamity overtook San Francis-
en. The P.usiness Manager of the JouBNAIi,
who is the acting Editor, was burnt out of
his home on the first day of the fire. With
the assistance of several noble friends and
particularly a former shipmate, who aban-
doned his own personal effects in order to
help women and children, we succeeded in
moving the family to a harbor of safety
across the Fay after having been driven
from one place of refuge to another for for-
ty eighl hours. The families of comrade F.
Ellison, Secretary pro tern, of the Sailors'
Union and D. W. Paul. Second Patrolman,
were also forced to leave their homes on
that fatal Wednesday. The former comrades
as well as the single men employed by the
Sailors' Union who resided at San Francisco,
lost all their earthly belongings, hut escaped
with their lives. Many members of mari-
time organizations whose homes and fam
ilies are in San Francisco, were at sea dur-
ing i he days id' horrors, and upon arrival at
San Francisco, they were unable to learn
whether or not their dear ones had survived
the disaster.
There are between 300,000 and 350,000
homeless people scattered about the city,
and the surrounding towns, and it will take
weeks and months before missing friends
and relatives can be located and families re-
united. Readers of the Journal are asked
to hear these facts in mind if they have
searched in vain for families ami friends.
As to the number of dead from the earth
quake, four days' tire, disease and shooting,
there is nothing on which to base an\ ap-
proximately correct estimate. The names
of members of the International Seamen's
Union who are reported as having perished.
will not be published until the smoke has
cleared away, and identification is estab
lished beyond a reasonable doubt.
Members of the five branches of the In-
ternational Seamen's Union, the Sailors.
Firemen, Cooks and stewards. Fishermen
and Steamboatmen. when arriving at San
Francisco, should endeavor to get in touch
with their respective headquarters, which
are until further notice, located at the old
Sailors' Union Building, where information
regarding Union affairs will be posted. At
the time of going to press, the order had
been given out that ships may leave port
at will, heme it is believed that there will be
more than sufficient employment for all sea-
men who are in port destitute.
Owing to (he fact that many wharves in
Sau Francisco were either destroyed or sits
tained more or less damage, the greater part
of the port's shipping will probably be tem-
porarily transferred to Oakland. The Pa-
cific fleet under Admiral Goodrich has
been broughl to the harbor and is patrolling
the water front and several torpedo boats
from Mare Island have been detailed to as-
sist in the work.
SEAMEN AND LONGSHOREMEN
The arbitration conference between the
International Seamen's Union of America,
and the International Longshoremen's As
social ion was held at Erie, Pa., on April 18,
1!>. ami I'll. The Seamen were represented
by A. Furuseth and W. Macarthur. and the
Longshoremen by H. C. Barter and A. Mail
sen. President Plumpers, of the American
Federation of Labor, acted as arbitrator.
The cause of the dispute between the organ-
izations in question, was reviewed at length,
ami President Gpmpers announced that he
would render his verdict at the earliest pos-
sible date after the receipt of the stenog-
rapher's transcript.
At the close of thi' conference a resolution
was adopted expressing sympathy with the
citizens ami organized labor of San Fran-
cisco. Comrade Furuseth is at present vis
iting the agencies id' the Pake Seamen's
Union, and will return to San Francisco
next week. Comrade Macarthur left Erie
for San Francisco immediately after the
close of the conference and arrived in the
citv on Wednesday.
LABOR COUNCIL ON RECORD
"To the People of San Francisco— The
San Francisco Labor Council on behalf of
;ts PIC) affiliated unions pledges the earnest
and willing cooperation of each and everj
member of these organizations in the re
building of our city, and thai this may l»e
accomplished as expeditiously as possible
and tinder conditions as nearly normal as
practicable, we declare it to he the sense of
this council that Pie wage scales of the va-
rious unions remain as before the tire, and
recommend that the affiliated unions adopt
stringent measures to enforce this measure.
"We recommend that jurisdiction lines
between the various crafts ami callings be
abolished until normal conditions are re-
stored.
"We recommend that the affiliated unions
establish headquarters as soon as possible
where members nifty register for employ-
menl in order that those who desire their
services may secure them with the least pos-
sible delay."
Attentive is the name of Britain's latest
2r>-knot scout ship.
The reports sent Fast to the etl'ect that
the yellow and brown population of San
Francisco is being neglected in the work of
relief is base slander and it is to be deplored
that the President of the United States
should pa,\ attention to these rumors and
rush into print demanding a '-square deal''
for his special pets. Teddy need have no
fear: (he writer knows from personal obser-
vation that the Mongolians are well looked
after. Thousands of citizens will also vouch
for the fact thai while white men were forc-
ed to work everywhere in the city Mr.
Roosevelt's pets looked on and congratulat-
ed themselves upon their ''pull" with the
military. The white people of San Fran-
cisco gladly do their share of labor to clear
tin- streets of the city, and do everything
within their power to relieve suft'ering--
1 mt is there any good reason why the Asi-
atics should enjoy special rights and priv-
ileges in the shape of immunity from labor?
The Journal is the first of the three labor
papers of San Francisco to make its appear-
ance after the days of horrors.

Headquarters, San Francisco, April 23.
1906. — Regular weekly meeting was called
to order at :'. p. m., II. G. Lundberg, presid-
ing. Secretary reported that more than two-
thirds of the city had been destroyed, partly
through an earthquake, which occurred at
5:15 a. m. on April IS, and party through
fire, which succeeded the earthquake.
Through good fortune and by energetic
work on the part of the members the
building was saved from burning, it being
the only building on East street from the
Seawall to Howard street. The banks, in
which the Union's funds ate invested, are
solvent, and will do business as soon as
practicable. Secretary also suggested thai
all unemployed members in port ship or
work their way to the Branches where ship
ping will be good. The city is still under
martial law and members are urged to as-
sist the military and avoid all trouble with
the latter.
The First Patrolman reported having
shipped a number of men for several ves-
sels; was to Oakland and found a number
of members destitute over there.
The Second Patrolman slated thai he had
shipped a few men.
The Third Patrolman reported thai sev-
eral steamers are detained by the military
authorities; very few men shipped.
It was moved that our members be in-
structed to maintain the present schedule
of wages and hours, but to make no unusual
demands, particularly not to ask for over-
time pay for the special legal holidays pro-
claimed by the Governor to save the bank-
ing institutions of the State. The motiou
was seconded and carried.
A motion was made and carried that the
business of the Union be left in the hands
of the officers of the Union and that the
latter be constituted an Executive Commit-
tee for the purpose.
The Executive Committee was instructed
to ascertain whether the present headquar-
ters is safe for transacting business; and
if not. to secure the necessary permits for
lien quarters. The Executive Committee
was further instructed to appoint relief
committees to assist married members se-
curing food and shelter for their families.
The Editor pro tern, of the Coast Sea-
men's Journal staled that arrangements
could be made for publishing the paper on
the other side of the Bay.
There being no further business, the meet-
ing adjourned at 4 :10 p. m.

LABOR IN SAN FRANCISCO.
THE labor movement of San Francisco was
until a few days ago a thing in which the
city, and indeed the whole country, felt a
j justifiable pride. In this respect, as in many
others, local and national pride has received a
severe fall.
This observation, of course, applies cliierly to
the numerical strength of the organizations re-
maining intact since the great calamity of two
weeks ago. In all that constitutes the claim of
organized labor to a leading place in the activi-
ties of social life the trade-unions of San Fran-
cisco have fully justified themselves. Nothing has
been done or left undone by these organizations
other than as dictated by the exigencies of the
situation.
In discharging the first duties of humanity to
care for life and property, and later in rallying the
scattered forces of the community to the task
of rehabilitation, the local labor movement has
honored the highest traditions, not only of intel-
ligent, disciplined organization, but of courageous,
public-spirited manhood.
Judged solely by its conduct in the crucial test
through which it has just passed, the labor move-
ment of San Francisco is entitled to be regarded
in even higher esteem than ever before. From
this viewpoint the condition of organized labor
in that city is a matter of greater rather than of
less personal satisfaction to its own members and
to its well-wishers throughout the country. All
in all, the past is safe; the future alone remains
to be considered, and it must be well considered
in order that the existing status, morally speak-
ing, shall be maintained.
The first clement in the condition now con-
fronting us is the destruction of the industries in
which the organized workers were formerly em-
ployed. Genera'ly speaking, the only industry
that has survived the cataclysm is the shipping of
the port. Upon reflection it will be seen that this
statement of the situation is rather more specific
than general. Certain other industries, such as
the building and iron trades, still provide employ-
ment for a number of men. Still other industries
are in process of revival. These undertakings and
the employment afforded by them are in their
nature temporary, if not in reality tentative. This
condition considered, the fact remains that of the
total strength of organized labor before the earth-
quake— numbering about 60,000 men and women
—probably not more than one-third may hope
to secure employment now or in the near future.
As already stated, even this prospect, or pos-
sibility, is a temporary one. The whole future of
the labor movement, as of the city itself, depends
upon the question of reconstruction. If the work
of rebuilding the city be undertaken on a large
scale, the employment of labor in constantly in-
creasing numbers and industries will be secured.
Otherwise, the work now being done will be sus-
pended, and the workers still remaining in the
city will be forced to look elsewhere for a live-
lihi >od.
Of course, everyone hopes for a speedy realiza-
tion of the "greater and grander San Francisco"
so boldly predicted by press and property-own-
ers. At the same time, it is well to temper these
hopes with reason. No city was ever built upon
hope alone. Least of all can the appalling deso-
lation that now exists upon the site of the once
magnificent metropolis be replaced by the abodes
of civilized man, by the process of rubbing Al-
ladin's lamp. Even the genii of high finance can
not make a great city arise from its ashes, like
the familiar and greatly overworked Pheflix. In
the last analysis but one power can with certainty
be invoked in the great task, and that is the
power of labor. The new city of San Francisco
will be the product of the workers' hands and
brains, not of the financiers' credit in the money
markets of the world. Not only must the workers
build the city, if it be built at all, but they must
pay for it, too. In the presenf situation credit
is a good and necessary thing; but it must be re-
membered that every dollar that is borrowed to-
day must be paid with interest to-morrow or next
day. In the future, as in the past, the man and
woman who must pay rent for housing accommo-
dations must by that fact pay both the principal
and the interest of whatever debt may be in-
curred.
This inescapable truth should be kept well in
mind by all parties concerned. The problem that
now confronts the people of San Francisco con-
sists not so much in the matter of the conditions
under which the city shall be rebuilt, as in the
matter of the conditions under which the inhabi-
tants of the new city shall live. A "greater and
grander San Francisco," bui't entirely, or largely,
upon borrowed capital and with the aid of pub-
lic-service corporations, which, in return, receive
wholesale giants of public property (which grants
amount in essence to so much power of taxation),
might be a spectacle to excite the admiration ol
those who admire that sort of thing, and par-
ticularly of those whose property values have
been restored. P>ut there remains the question:
Would San Francisco, under such conditions, be
a better or worse place than before to live and
work in? In other words, will the workers be
better or worse off after the work of reconstruc-
tion is completed? Will the men and women
who rebuild the city own any part or parcel of
their handiwork, or must they confront the pros
peel that, their dai'y wages having been con
SUmed by their daily needs, they must continue
indefinitely to carry the burden of a heavy debt
and to liquidate the same by the payment of high
rents, high taxes and high everything?
Upon the answer given to those questions will
depend much of the future growth and prosperity
of the city. While indulging our hopes of a new
and brighter era for the city which we loved, and
which we now love the more because of her
misfortune, let us keep well in mind the day of
reckoning, "when men laugh no more" — that day
in which men's love and loyalty will be put to
the supreme test. The incidents of the past two
weeks have demonstrated that in danger and
distress class lines are obliterated, class interests
forgotten, and the general welfare alone remem-
bered. It is not unreasonable, therefore, to hope
that the spirit of co-operation will survive the
ordeal of earthquake and conflagration and grow
stronger with the greater, or at least equal ne-
cessity that now exists and must continue to
exist for a long time. Organized labor in San
Francisco, although greatly reduced in numerical
strength, is still actuated by that high spirit of
devotion to the public good which gave it pre-
eminence in the affairs of the city that was 'ev-
elled by the forces of Nature. With, full and dis-
interested co-operation on the part of all other
elements of the community the success, moral
as well as material, of the future is assured.
Tt has been noted that the disaster of April 18
and succeeding days is not entirely lacking some
measure of compensation. During the great con-
vulsion many things which had outlived their
usefulness, but which were tolerated for senti-
mental or other reasons, were completely de-
stroyed. These will never be resuscitated; their
remains, if discoverable at all, will be finally dis-
posed of with the other ruins. Included in this
class are some things — one thing in particular —
that afflicted the industrial life of the city. It is
to be hoped that these latter ruins will be per-
mitted to rest until carted away to the crema-
tory which they had too long escaped. Let UJ
begin the great work before us with clean hands
and clean heads, with honest and intelligent co-
operation, and without interference by any third
party whose interest lies mainly in creating trou-
ble between the legitimate factors of industry.
Thus shall San Francisco arise upon her native
hills, the proud possession of her sons and daugh-
ters, the home of the happiest and purest de-
mocracy among mankind.

about 175 pounds, had brown curly hair and blond
moustache, wore blue dungaree trousers, black
shirt and dark gray coat, and had a lifebelt

There were no papers on the body, but a pocket

The old tugboat Wizard, a relic of early days
in San Francisco harbor, is again out of commis-
sion, having been returned to Boole & Son. her
owners, in Oakland Creek. For many years she
lay in the mud. apparently at the end of her days
of usefulness, but the big lire of two weeks ago
caused her resurrection. She was needed for
patrol duty and other purposes during the great
stress ,.f times, and it remained for Lieutenant
C. C McMillan of the revenue-cutter Thetis to
volunteer to take command of the dangerous old
craft. He was accompanied by a crew of brave
fellows from the Thetis and Pear, and she was
temporarily made a revenue-cutter. While not
neglecting his duties as commander of the Wiz-
ard, much of Lieutenant McMillan's time was oc-
cupied in plugging up the tug's boiler tubes and
stopping the wheezing long enough for the wdiis-
tle to be heard. In real danger of a skyward
cruise on the old tub, the commander and his
men performed valiant service in transporting
refugees and assisting the Army in carrying sup-
plies, until the Wizard failed through sheer ex-
haustion, like an old horse. Then she was hur-
ried back to her bed of mild.

MERCHANT MARINE OFFICERS.
Ot\ the Atlantic Coast
(Contributed by the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Unions!
►-♦-♦-<
► -♦-♦-<
Some journals representing the counting-house
end of the shipping industry gloomily note the
increasing difficulty of securing efficient ships'
officers. They are puzzled to uncover the rea-
sons why high wages and gold-laced uniforms are
seemingly insufficient to induce young men to
take to the bridge or the quarterdeck for a living.
One of the journals in question casually adverts
to the quandary of British shipowners, some of
whom publish advertisements offering steady em-
ployment at liberal wages to young men holding
Hoard of Trade certificates as mates or second-
mates, yet are never able to secure a full quota
of junior officers for their fleets. From this it is
argued that if, through legislation or other means,
we ever become possessed of a first-class foreign-
going merchant marine, the trouble of efficient
deck officers is certain to become more and more
apparent.
The usual time-worn expedients — training ships
and the apprentice system — are again recom-
mended, but in such a desultory manner that it
is apparent that the writers are not at all sure of
their ground, owing, probably, to the fact that few
if any of them have ever had any experience at
first-hand of the things whereof they write. Both
the training-ship and the apprentice system, as
means of creating a -body of efficient merchant
marine officers have been thoroughly exploited by
Great Britain, and have been found wanting, as
the present scarcity of merchant marine officers
in that country attests. It is not to be denied that
training ship--, and the system of indenturing ap-
prentices on sea-going ships, considered as ad-
juncts to a general system for securing a suffi-
cient number of trained officers for the merchant
marine, are helpful institutions. But when, in-
stead of adjuncts to a general system, they are
merged with and become practically "the whole
hooting match," as "Uncle Joe" Cannon would
say, then their inadequacy in accomplishing the
objects usually associated with their existence is
painfully impressed upon those most immediately
interested in the subject. And an understanding
of this phase of the question under discussion
will be helpful in trying to get at the reasons for
the shortage in the output of ships' officers ob-
served both in this country and in Great Britain.
As tlie merchant marines of Great Britain and
the United States are in all essential details con-
ducted upon precisely the same lines, a short
analytical review of the causes leading up to
i conditions in the British merchant ma-
rine, in regard to deck officers, will serve to show
where we will fetch up in that respect if we con-
tinue the manning policy at present obtaining in
our merchant marine. To go no further back
than thirty-live or forty years, then, the officers
on British merchant vessels were almost ex-
clusively recruited from the forecastle. This was
so because at that time the make-up of the crews
was essentially British in texture and character.
Hence, the average British boy of the period
naturally enough reasoned that a calling consid-
ered good enough by his elders was good enough,
for him. Often he was the son or other near
relative of a common seaman, and whether he
signed on as a deck boy or was indentured as an
apprentice, he was invariably berthed in the fore-
castle along with the able-seamen. In that way
he learned his business as a seaman at first hand,
which is die only way in which perfection in any
occupation can be attained. If he happened to be
a studious and ambitious lad, then at the end of
Ins term of apprenticeship he was usually ready
to eo before the Board of Trade and pass an ex-
amination in navigation and seamanship prepara-
tory to receiving a second-mate's certificate of
competency. After that his promotion to mate
and master, respectively, depended chiefly upon
his own exertions. And it is a matter of record
that the officers on British merchantmen in those
days were as efficient as any to be found under
other flags.
Then, gradually, the make-up and complexion
of the crews on British merchant vessels began
to change. Little by little British seamen were
driven out, and their places taken by foreigners;
at first by North Europeans, and lastly by Asia-
One of the first results noted from the
change was a perceptib'e and steady decrease in
the number of British boys seeking employment
in the merchant marine.
When the shrinkage in the output of British
iiile marine officers first began to mani-
fest itself, the shipowners, through their repre-
sentatives in Parliament, got busy securing con
is from the Government for increasing the
number of training-ships for boys, and for mak-
ing them more attractive generally as well as
suited to modern methods of navigation,
'Ins, it was argued, would furnish an unfailing
from which the merchant marine could be
supplied with officers at all times, and in suffi-
numbers to meet the normal demand. For
upply of seamen there was the whole Orient.
with its teeming millions, to draw from, and with
lipplv of officers safely guaranteed by the
ing-ship system, it was thought that the
manning problem of the British merchant ma-
rine had been satisfactorily solved
But, as with many another and better theory,
the training-ship plan did not work so well in
practice as had been anticipated. Ir. the first
place, it turned out to be a rather hard job to
induce a sufficient number of the right kind of
boys to enlist on the training-ships. Boys, as a
rule, are unsophisticated enough to think that the
way to go to sea is on a real ship bound for some
distant shore; not to be confined on board an old
hulk, moored up a countrified creek. In the next
place, it was noted that such hoys as did graduate
from a training ship were never as efficient as,
everything considered, they should have been.
They lacked that adaptability to the work and
routine of sea life which only years of actual ex-
perience as a seaman can foster. In fact, they
were but little, if any, better than "geenhorns."
Even their knowledge of navigation was usually
more academic than concrete, viewed from the
standpoint of the veteran, offshore-trained navi-
gator. Worst id' all, it was found that the larger
number of them soon quit the sea, generally at
the expiration of the first voyage. This was no
doubt due to the greater hardships of sea life as
compared with the easy life on a training-ship, as
well as to. the fact that their education on the
training-ship lent itself rather more readily to the
duties of a clerkship on shore than to the strenu-
ous life of a seaman. Whatever the cause, it is
certain that training-ships, as institutions for
supplying the merchant marine with a body of
efficient officers, are today regarded in England
as being so nearly failures as to be hardly worth
arguing about.
Such, in brief, are the causes of the present
scarcity of officers in the British merchant ma-
rine. As the same causes are increasingly at
work in our own merchant marine, the effects
must necessarily be the same, as, in fact, has al-
ready been demonstrated by the experience of
certain large steamship concerns. It ought,
therefore, to be of interest to American shipown-
ers to know that a remedy for the evil in ques-
tion is to be found in a bill recently introduced
in Congress by Representative Spight. of Mis-
sissippi. This bill, among other things, aims at
establishing conditions that will encourage the
training of boys in our merchant marine. As has
been shown in the foregoing review of conditions
in that relation in the British merchant marine,
this object can only be attained by creating con-
ditions that will encourage American men to
seek service in our merchant marine. Given the
men, and the boys will follow as a matter of
course. And, when American boys are encour-
aged in earnest to take to the sea for a livelihood,
our merchant marine will never lack for efficient
officers. Let us be warned by the experience of
Great Britain, which teaches that the manning of
a country's merchant marine with cheap Asiatic
seamen is in the long run an unprofitable invest-
ment in more ways than one.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A bill has been passed by the Assembly of the
Massachusetts Legislature poviding that in cases
of strikes the strikers may establish and main-

so long as the picketing is conducted in an orderly

The New York local of the American Associa-
tion of Masters, Mates and Pilots of Steamboats
is raising a fund for the defense of Captain Van
Schaick, late master of the ill-fated steamer Slo-
cum. All the locals of the Association through-
out the country have been asked to aid the move-
ment. The case of Captain Van Schaick, who is
now out on heavy bail, will come up on appeal
in October.
At the instance of the United 1 Iousesmiths and

York, at its regular weekly meeting, on April
8, indorsed a resolution calling upon Congress
and the- President "to immediately repeal tin-

are manufactured by the United States Steel Cot

The longer a young man tarries in a "tainted

to ever become a good citizen
few can talk so learnedly on the causes of
other people's failures as those who were born

And now the spring poets — that is. the Spring
paragaphers — have it that the Steel Trust has
quietly ordered the salting away of the Ship
Subsidy bill until the present recrudescence of tin
agitation for repealing the tariff on steel has sub
sided. This news comes under the head of "im-
portant, if true," and will therefore, under the
rules, be laid over until new business.
When all is said, the value of laws lies funda-
mentally in their application, and the value of
courts in their impartiality. It is the disregard of
these self-evident propositions by governments
which is at the bottom of all social unrest, fo-
menting the revolutionary leaven that lurks in tlv
veins of all red-blooded men. Which explains
much when connected with certain events that
just now cast their shadows before.
The Spight bill. II. R. 17,724, "to amend Un-
laws relating to American seamen, to prevent un-
dermanning and unskilled manning of American
vessels, and to encourage the training of boys
in the merchant marine," may be termed the or-
ganized seamen's "Bill of Grievances." codified

everything in trim to pass muster by the Con-
gressional sea lawyers. Let 'er go. Gallagher!
Bishop Charles C. McCabe, of the Methodist

The New York Times thinks that "it is amus-
ing to note that the eminent Mr. Compers. as .11
argument for excluding Japanese as well as Chi-
nese from this country, says that if the Chinese
should suddenly determine, as part of their mod-
ernization, to cut off their queues, 'when il was
done there would be 400,000,000 more Japanese.'1
Having thought which, the esteemed Times, with
surprising relevancy, .noes on to remark "that one
Chinese differs as much from another Chinese,
and one Japanese as much from another Jap
anese, as do two Englishmen, two Frenchmen or
two Germans." Which is a curiously involved
way of affirming the well-known anthropological
fail that the difference between a queue-less Chi
naman and a Jap is rather less than the difference
between the proverbial two peas in a pod.
One of tin- most serious defects of our Immi-
gration policy is undoubtedly the lack of arrange
ments on the pari of the Stale for distributing
the newly arrived immigrants where they arc
most needed. Of course, every one recognizes
the constitutional difficulties in tlie way of nun
pulsory distribution, but the plan of the city of
Baltimore to limn employment upon public works
to citizens only, if generallj adopted bv other
cities and by the federal ,md State Governments,
would do much to scalier the immigrants over the
country As il is, statistics prove that the ma
jority of the immigrant laborers who come here
dock to tin- cities, attracted there by the case
with which they may secure work under the mu
nicipality. or from contractors 1. .1 public works
This is manifestly both an injury and an injustice
to citizen laborers, who in many instances arc
ion ed to move out of the place in which, maybe,
they wer- bred and bom, or have worked foi
years, because they can nol live and support a
Family on the wages paid to the alien laborers
Il employment on public works were limited to
residents of a certain period, the Immigration
problem would be half solved

NEW KIND OF LIGHTHOUSE.
Not the least interesting feature of the
plate lighthouse that is to be built
imond Shoals, off Cape Hatteras, by
Capt. Albert F. Eells, of Boston, is the fact that
Captain Eells is to put it up and run it for a
i his own cost, and that he is not to be
paid a cent until the Government has operated
it four years. At the end of this period, if all is
well, he is to receive $750,000. Tin's would not
appear to be an excessive sum, for in 1902 a gov-
ernment official reported the probable cost of
a lighthouse on this spot as $1,588,000.
The foundation for the lighthouse will be a
massive steel caisson in the form of a truncated
cone with a cylindrical base. Upon this will be
erected a mwer comprising essentially a plate-
steel cylinder witli a slight batter from base to
tii]), which tower will support a lantern at a
height of 150 feet above sea-level. . . . The es-
timated weight of the entire structure, including
the lighthouse and contents, is to be 27,000 tons.
The displacement of water will be about 10,000
tuns, which will leave an effective weight rest-
ing on the sands of the Diamond Shoals of about
17,000 tons, covering an effective area on the
base of 8,960 square feet.
The caisson is to be built at some shipyard and
towed to its destination. The central tube in
the caisson, which extends from top to bottom,
is made of curved rolled steel plates, attached to
the ends of the horizontal floor girders and to
the bracings, all of which when riveted together
will form a vessel-like caisson of circular shape,
built sufficiently strong to stand its sea \'
and the wind and wave pressure, after its final
settlement into the sands of the Diamond Shoals.
All the inside horizontal girders are covered
at the different elevations to make temporary
floors and rooms in the caisson. It is proposed
t" place in these rooms, at the time of towing,
tiler, engines, pumps, derricks, dredging ap-
paratus, concrete-mixing machinery, water, sand,
and cement, and the different materials necessary
for sinking and tilling, as well as supplies and
equipment for the workmen.
\ portion of the space between the two outer
shells, and part of the bottom, will be filled with
concrete before leaving the shipyard, so that the
caisson will draw about 21 feet of water.
After reaching its destination the caisson will
be held in place by suitable anchors and cables.
It will be scuttled by pumping water into the
interior compartments until it rests on the sands
in about 24 feet of water, leaving the top or deck
about 56 feet above the surfact of the ocean.
After the caisson has been scuttled water is to
be pumped into the side compartments above the
sea level, and it will then be sunk into the sand
as quickly as possible. It will first be lowered
is far as practicable by open dredging through
the central well, preferably in the spring of the
year, when the seas do not run high. Later, the
water will be forced from the lower air-cham-
bers with compressed air, and laborers will enter
these chambers and assist in the excavating with
water jets, shovels, and special tools, forcing the
sand toward the central tube, whence it will be
pumped out.
While the dredging is being done the work
will be carried on as fast as possible in filling
the different chambers with concrete. The ma-
terial— cement, crushed stone, granite blocks,
boulders, supplies, etc. — will be brought to the
caisson in lighters, and hoisted aboard and stored
in the different rooms to be used when required.
A balance in weight will be preserved between
the increasing weight of the structure and the
increasing buoyancy of the surrounding water
as the caisson sinks to its final depth. The cais-
son may thus be temporarily held at about the
same level, to facilitate certain details of the
excavation, or it may be made to sink more rap-
idly in the sand.
After this caisson has been scuttled and sunk
a tew feet into the sand it is claimed that it will
withstand any storm that may come up at that
n of the year, and by the time it has reached
its total depth of 26 feet in the sand and been
partially filled with granite and cement and sur-
rounded with riprap, it will withstand as great
a storm as has ever been recorded off these
shoals.
The entire shell of the caisson having been filled
with concrete, and the central tube having been
loaded with sand, except a space of about 12 feet
deep, for a cistern that will hold 15.000 gallon's
of fresh water, and for 1 ns if feet high for
storing the oil, water, and hoisting-engine for the
lighthouse, the foundation will be complete. The
erection of the lighthouse or superstructure will
thereupon begin. The lighthouse is of steel con-
Struction, and consists of an outside circulai
shell with an inner central steel tube, which con-
tains a spiral stairway, chimneys, and ventilators,
all of which are well braced by Steel girders,
frames, and partitions, and which has eight dif-
ferent floors besides ■ the lantern-gallery and
watch room The outer shell of this structure is
to be lined with a layer of concrete or plaster
placed upon wire mesh or expanded metal, about
four inches thick.
STEAM WITHOUT FIRE.
A new type of boiler that is able to keep on
supplying steam for several hours after the fire
has been extinguished has been devised by Mr.
Maurice, engineer-in-chief of the French Navy,
and is attracting considerable attention, being
operated upon a novel and original plan. This
invention, which was awarded a prize at the end
of the last year by the Academic des Sciences,
is thus described in The Scientific American Sup-
p'ement :
The principle of the storage of heat consists
in the use of a mixture of salts having a great
heat and surrounding the greater part of
the tubular system of the boiler. The ten
ture of these salts rises to about 450° C. [84
during the heat. The result forms a new solu
Hon ot" tin- problem which was formerly solved
by the Use of reservoirs of superheated water,
and here we have an economy of weight as well
as Space. After the heat which has accumulated
is exhausted during the run after the fire is ex-
tinguished, the accumulation of heat is
made very quickly after the fire is started. The
system is of special value in the marine, and also
in electric stations. The result of the tirst ex-
periments which have been made at Cherbourg
are quite favorable, and no doubt the system will
be applied afterward on a larger scale.
REALISTIC ACTING.
The late Joseph Jefferson US ty that his
career came verj near being nipped in the bud
in a small Western town. He at that time was
a member 01" a small pioneer company which
progressed by means of three "bull team-" Ir.'in
one mining camp to another. They were always
heartily received by. the miners and cowboys,
who readily paid the live dollars in go'd required
to witness their performance. Mr. Jefferson was
the traditional melodramatic villain, and in the
third act was supposed to kidnap "the child."
The supposed mother, hearing its cries, rushes
Upon the scene just as he is about to escape, and
tire- a fruitless shot from a revolver.
I |H>n this particular occasion all had gone well
until this scene was reached, and the aud
many of win nn had never before seen any kind
of theatrical performance, sat as if spellbound.
At the crack of the mother's revolver, however,
the spell was rudely broken.
"By heaven, she missed him!" a red-shirted
miner in the front row shouted, drawing his own
mooter" and leaping to his feet. "Round
to the back door and head him off 'fore he can
git a boss, boys." he yelled, and, following him,
half the audience stampeded for the exit.
The excitement was finally allayed by the
"mother" and the villain appearing hand in hand
before the curtain, and the manager's explana-
tion of the situation. When the performam
:.. ii concluded, the audience insisted oh paying
another admission price and having an immediate
repetition from beginning to end. — Success Maga-
zine.
A FEMALE ENGINEER.
Another triumph has been won for American
womanhood. Miss Nora Stanton B latch has been
elected to membership in the American Society
of (.'ivil Engineers, the first woman so distin-
guished. She is a granddaughter of the famous
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and the first woman to
win the degree of civil engineer in Cornell Uni-
versity.
Miss Blatch has been still further honored. A
Chinese student at Cornell, who had watched her
work closely, turns out to be an agent ot his
government sent to this country to organize thir-
ty -ix corps of engineers for the great industrial
undertakings contemplated by China. He has of-
fered her a fine position in one of these corps.
His response to her inquiry as to the difficulties
a woman might encounter in the interior of China
is interesting in tun ways. It indicates the ad-
vance of thought in the New East and has a bear-
ing on the status of the modern professional
w< iman.
"I know of no difficulties," he said. "You have
chosen a man'- you studied like a man
and your scholarship is superior to that of most
men. Why hesitate to do a man's work? I
suppose you do not fear anything. Act like a
man. As for me, 1 shall consider myself greatly
red to take the first woman engineer to
China." Miss Blatch has the offer under con-
sideration.
Whatever be her field of work, there is little
doubt that this young woman engineer will take
a worthy place in her chosen profession. She
may become eminent in it. The fact that she has
already won high honors in one of the most
difficult lines of human endeavor will be gratify-
1 all American women, regardless of their
opinions as to woman's most suitable work in
the world. — Cleveland Leader.

THE PROBLEM OF WAGES.
AMONG the great problems which now con-
front the people of San Francisco,
that contained in the so-called labor
question must be regarded as occupying a lead-
ing, if not the chief, place. When all other plans
for rebuilding the city are perfected, the system
upon which the labor necessary for the realization
of these plans shall be employed will remain to
be considered. Probably it would be more cor-
rect to say that the labor plan should be consid-
ered fust, or at least contemporaneously with all
other plans.
Whatever the order of precedence, it is obvi-
ous that the future progress and prosperity of the
city will depend very largely upon the manner
in which the labor question is met and dealt
with. The one thing that ought to be guarded
against at the present moment is a tendency to
let the labor question solve itself, to ignore or
evade that question, in the hope of an automatic
adjustment satisfactory to all concerned. This
tendency is equally as dangerous as would be a
tendency to rebuild without due precaution
against earthquake and fire, and those who in-
dulge the former should be treated as equally
culpable with those who should indulge the
latter.
As soon as possible after the great calamity
of April tS the trade-unionists of San Fran-
cisco, represented by the Labor Council and
Building Trades Council, met and formally de-
termined that no change should be made in the
previously existing wages and other conditions
of employment. Organizations which had al-
ready decided upon the enforcement of certain
improvements in their conditions suspended such
action. Jurisdiction lines, the drawing of which,
although of the greatest importance to the crafts
concerned, was apt to cause friction, were tem-
porarily abandoned. This course was adopted at
the dictates of humanity, in order that everything
possible might be done to save life and relieve
distress. In taking this course organized labor
simply did its duty, and it is prepared to adhere
to that course so long as necessity demands.
How long the necessity for the suspension of
the rules of organized labor shall continue is a
matter to be determined, in the absence of a
better criterion, by the attitude of the employers.
Viewed from the hitters' standpoint, the labor
question has already ceased to be one of distress
and relief, and has become one of dollars and
cents. In other words, the employers in manv of
the industries already established show marked
signs of returning to their ancient allegiance, the
law of RUpnly and demand. These employers,
noting the fact that there are now in San Fran-
cisco a great manv more workers than jobs, anil
doubtless encouraged by the attitude of organ-
ized labor in suspending its wage and other rules.
are endeavoring to secure help at the lowest pos-
sible figure.
These employers are not themselves in need
of assistance from organized labor, nor is it ap-
parent that they are rendering any assistance to
others. They are simply taking advantage of
what they regard as a favorable opportunity to
secure cheap labor. To the extent that this ten-
dency succeeds the result, to labor at least, will
be to increase distress rather than to relieve it.
In these circumstances it appears that organ-
ized labor would be justified in reasserting its
previous position in the matter of wages, hours
of labor, and other conditions of employment.
Indeed, such course appears to be not only justi-
fiable, but necessary, in order to prevent general
demoralization, thus establishing a source of
indefinite trouble to ail concerned. The declara-
tion that relief work shall be performed without
reference to the standing rules of the trade-
unions should, of course, be permitted to stand in
every instance in which it is clear that such re-
lief is accorded gratuitously — that is. in which the
recipients are not required to render an equiva-
lent in labor. Wherever such equivalent is ex-
acted, there is no good reason why remuneration
should not be fixed upon the basis prevailing be-
fore the earthquake and tire. On the contrary,
there are many good reasons why remuneration
should be so fixed, one of which is that the work-
ers will thereby the more quickly become self-
supporting.
Generally speaking, we believe that no time
should be lost in re-establishing the labor con-
ditions prevailing prior to April 18. In adopting
this course the trade-unions will be conforming
to the generally expressed determination that
business shall be resumed "at the old stand" as
speedily as possible. The suggestion made in
some quarters that labor must be satisfied to
work harder and for less wages than formerly in
order to expedite the task of rehabilitation is il-
logical and impracticable; first, because the city
can prosper only in proportion as labor prospers,
and. secondly, because if the city be rebuilt within
a reasonable period the wage question is certain
to resolve itself into a question, not of keeping
remuneration down to a minimum, but of keeping
it from rising to an excessive maximum. 1 he
"greater and grander San Francisco" can not be
realized on a charity basis, and even if it could, it
wouldn't be worth the trouble.
The labor movement of San Francisco is not
alone concerned in the wage question. Every
interest involved in the future of the city IS con-
cerned equally with the workers in establishing a
stab'e condition of the "labor market." A trank
recognition of this fact will go far to insure the
future against developments which mav hamper
the progress of the great work in hand. The most
useful citizen in the present circumstances is he
win. recognizing the fact in question, can de-
vise the best method of dealing with it. The
Journal believes that the best way to deal with
the situation as it now exists, and as it is likely
to exist in the future, is by means of a general
agreement between employers and employes,
through their respective organizations, upon the
basis of mutual recognition. As to the details
of such agreement, much must necessarily be left
to be determined by discussion. The salient fea-
ture of the proposed plan would be the adoption
of wage and general terms of employment, to
which both parties should bind themselves. The
maintenance of these terms would necessitate a
system of registration by means of which labor
seeking employment would be placed under ob-
ligation to respect the terms generally agreed
upon. This does not imply that all men must
be members of union; to the extent that the de-
mand for labor in any given craft exceeded the
available membership of the union of that craft.
non-union labor, under the general rule of trade-
unionism, would be perfectly free from objection.
The important point is that under the registration
system proposed, the non-union worker would
not be at liberty to make excessive demands, nor
to hinder operations by striking indiscriminately.
The system of registration might be conducted
by the unions themselves or by a bureau reprc
senting both sides, with a third party represent-
ing the State, such, for instance, as the Stale
Commissioner of Labor Statistics. This, how-
ever, is merely a matter of detail, which, with
many other matters, can only be dealt with upon
mature deliberation. The important point to be
considered at present is that of finding some
means by which the labor question, present and
future, may be solved satisfactorily and perma-
nently. Organized labor 111 San Francisco has
demonstrated its business capacity, and no fears
need be entertained concerning its ability t"
carry out any plan that may be agreed upon be-
tween it and Other interests. In the absence ol
such agreement, organized labor can not, even if it
would, afford any guarantee of stability in the
conditions of employment Assuming that the
work of reconstruction will be vigorously under-
taken, large numbers of workingmen will enter
the city inspired with but one object, namely,
high wages. Neither local pride nor supply and
demand will influence these men. If conditions
do not pan out as they had anticipated, they will
show their displeasure by making trouble of one
kind or another. The only way to avoid that
danger is by mutual agreement between the par-
ties interested in rebuilding the city for the Sake
of w h;ii 11 holds dear to them.
Let us do first things first1 Let us get to-
gether the organizations of labor and the or-
ganizations of capital -and agree upon the fair
thing to a'l concerned. Then let us stick for
that, as against the greedy propensities of either
party. Let us start right on the road to the
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
AUSTRALIAN NOTES.
(For the Coast Seamen's Journal.)
The outlook in Australia is becoming a little
more hopeful, as is shown by the reports from
the Chamber of Commerce and large business
agencies here. One large firm reports exports
from July I to March 31, 358,749 bales of
wool, from Australia, and 334.569 bales from
New Zealand. You can, therefore, draw your
own conclusions as to whether or not this
country is going to the dogs. The exports of
wheat have also reached large proportions, so
much so that it is quite common to see the
huge sheds at Darling Island full to the ceil-
ings, and very few ships in port to load.
A conference of Premiers has lately taken
place here, and it would strike the average
person outside this country that land which
will grow anything can be had just by simply
asking for it. Even if that were so, what can
one do without water? There is no such a
thing as irrigation here, excepting that prac-
ticed by the Chinese market-gardeners.
( )ur Government does not seem to be able
to grasp anything except its salary. No syn-
dicate or company will be allowed to move in
the matter, and yet the Premiers' conference
preaches immigration. There are millions of
gallons of water running to the ocean, and
no attempt is made to conserve the same.
Something may be done by the next body of
Legislators.
The unions that have filed cases in the Arbi-
tration Courts are wishing they were out of it,
as there is more to be obtained by an agree-
ment between employers and employee. Al-
though, according to the decision of the High
Court, which says that the Arbitration Court
has no jurisdiction, we are prevented from
striking. There is an election on just at pres-
ent at a place called Queenbcyan. Half of the
Ministry are supporting the Liberal Reform
candidate, and some of the Labor party are in
the field supporting the Labor men. Oueen-
beyan is quite a distance from Sydney, and one
of our Labor members, on his way there, hap-
pened to get out at the wrong station, and the
train having gone before he had time to make
inquiries, he discovered that he was thirty-
five miles from the place of meeting, but un-
daunted he shouldered his swag or bundle and
set out to tramp, and arrived close on 10 p. m.
and addressed the electors or citizens on be-
half of the Labor candidate. It may be said
that this particular M. P. is by no means a
young man, and that being taken into consider-
ation, it just shows the enthusiasm that you
will find among the Laborites. The Labor
candidate is leading at the polls at present,
and it is my hope that he will be returned
to swell our ranks in Parliament, as we need
all we can get there.
The election returns are to hand from Tas-
mania, and Labor in politics has gained three
more seats in that island. There has not been
any outburst in the press here. That is as we
except, as, had Labor been defeated, there
would have been several late editions, with
leaders and sub-leaders announcing that the
country in general was moving in the right
direction. There were no large headings on
the posters. The press winked the other eye
and took a turn on the lee side to see if the
cook was in the galley.
The Federated Seamen's Union has had a
conference with the local shipowners and the
committee has brought back a report to the
union, which was adopted. The agreement
gives the seamen arid firemen an increase of
ten shillings per month and several minor
concessions. The most important point gained
was preference to unionists. I may also men-
tion that a reference or conciliation board
has been appointed to deal with all future
troubles. The board consists of the managers
of three of the local shipping companies and
the Secretary, President and Vice-President of
the union.
The ballot for the election of a Federal Ex-
ecutive Council closes here next week, and
after returns are compiled a meeting of dele-
gates will take place in Melbourne, Vic, when
new rules will be drawn up and registered un-
der the Federal Arbitration Act. It is hoped
i" secure better results than under the local
Act, as there are a great many abuses that it
is necessary to wipe out of our working condi-
tions.
The seamen here are waiting patiently for
the Navigation Act to be carried along, as we
contend that it will not only be beneficial to
the white workers who go down to the sea in
ships, but also to the Australian shipowners,
as it will prevent unfair competition by the
cheap European firms. It is about time that
some of our British and Australian shipowners
realize the fact that it is one common cause
among us all, and so work in harmony to-
gether.
The Royal Commission appointed to inquire
into the dissensions existing between the Rail-
way Commissioners has just finished its sit-
tings, and it seems as if the decision has a
rather peculiar taste. The press comments are
that the chief is to go, and to retain the juniors,
because the chief is not of their particular
Free Trade party. The crime in the eyes of
the investigators, as the press would lead one
to infer, is that the chief recommended that
certain work should be done in this country,
and as this is not "quite English, you know,"
trouble arose. It does seem strange that the
late chief who was brought here from Eng-
land should recommend the present chief, and
that the Government should indorse it. It is
now stated that the Laborites in Parliament
will stick to this chief. Anything will do to
strike a person with who is in bad grace with
the enemies of Labor. It is about time that the
trade-unionists had something to say in mat-
ters of this kind. We are termed class legis-
lators, when in reality we are mass legislators.
Fraternally,
The Commodore.

ELECTRICITY FOR CANALS.
GREEK FISHERMEN IN FLORIDA.
The Oil, Faint, and Drug Reporter states
that the Turkish Government's action in clos-
ing the Mediterranean beds has caused a large
number of Greek fishermen to invade the Flor-
ida waters, where they have succeeded in mak-
ing some very large catches of sponges. The
Florida Legislature has been appealed to in
the matter, and it is expected that this will re-
sult in the closing of Florida fisheries for a
season, as it is believed that the beds there will
soon be depleted if unrestricted gathering of
sponges by the Greek fishermen continues.
They practically destroyed the fisheries in the
Mediterranean waters, and it will be the same
in the Florida waters. A drop in the Florida
market has taken place since the arrival of
some 500 Greeks, who are intent upon exploit-
ing the deeper waters of the Gulf in quest of
the valuable Rock Island sheepswool sponge.
The old Florida sponge-hookers are naturally
very much alarmed over the influx of so many
Greek fishermen, and there are threats of
trouble.
Among the latest developments of mechan-
ical power the propulsion of canal boats and
barges by electric power promises new life to
canal traffic.
Siemens and llalske have brought out a new
method of electric traction, which is already
in use on the Teltow Canal, Hanover, Ger-
many. The first experiments of an electric
canal boat were unsatisfactory, but the pres-
ent system seems to entirely meet all require-
ments. Originally the engines were built sym-
metrically, so that boats could be towed at will
either up or down the canal. This plan turned
nut to be unsatisfactory, and a double system
of rails, one on each side of the canal, was
tried. This proved to work well and is the
s\ stem now in use.
The gauge of the line is 100 millimetres, the
distance between the wheels 3.700 millimeters.
Both wheels run on rails, as the idea of run-
ning one wheel on a rail and the wheel nearest
the canal on the ground did not give the best
results. The wheel frame has in front a turn-
ing frame with wheels 1 meter apart, and a
fixed pivot, and a hind longitudinal axle. The
total weight of the locomotive is so distributed
that the wheels on the land side have to bear
the greater portion ( six-tenths | in order to
keep up the equipoise of the towrope. For the
same reason the pivot of the turning frame is
not in the longitudinal axle of the locomotive,
but 300 millimeters outside the same toward
the land side. Both axles of the turning
frame are worked by a 10-horsepower direct-
current motor with double-cogged gearing.
The motor works at a tension of 550 volts,
the speed and steering being regulated by the
usual parallel series. When traveling without
load, the locomotive can go at a speed of 5
kilometers per hour when the series is used,
and when the parallel multiple is used, at a
speed of from 9 to 10 kilometers per hour.
The tow-pole is worked by a i-horse electro
motor specially provided for the purpose. At
the upper end of the tow-pole is a funnel
through which the towing rope is led, and then
wound round a drum. To work this drum
there is another electro motor provided which
has a drawing power of mure than 120 kilo-
grams. An automatic coupling connects the
drum with its shaft, so that in case of any
overburdening the stability of the locomotive
may not be endangered. The driver's place is
fixed in front and contains all the controllers
for the various motors, the switch for working
the tow-pole, and a switchboard for the
gauges. The locomotive is also provided with
the necessary accessories.
The tests to which these locomotives have
been subjected have proved that they are thor-
oughly efficient, and at the same time that
thev are extremelv economical.
The Singer Sewing Machine Company, of
South Bend, Ind., is building a branch fac-
tory at St. Johns, Quebec, which will cost,
when completed, $1,500,000. It will be the
largest plant of the kind in the Dominion,
covering t,J acres, and will employ 1,400
hands. Nearly all the material used in the
construction is being purchased in the United
States.
A whaling station and factory has been es-
tablished on Barklay Sound, less than 100
miles from Victoria. There is an abundance
of whales .in the coast, and already a number
have been caught and utilized at the new fac-
tory.

LABOR TO THE FORE.
The recent action of the American Federa-
tion of Labor in presenting the "Bill of Griev-
ances" to the administration, and later call-
ing upon all affiliated bodies to act as 3 political
unit at the coming fall election in ousting from
Congress the enemies of labor and replacing
them by friends, has been widely discussed by
the press, and generally in a way indicating
alarm at the proposition rather than open hos-
tility to it. Here and there, however, the pro-
ject is regarded with philosophical equanimity,
as something which may not be so very dread-
ful after all. The following from Collier's
Weekly, for instance, is rather encouraging :
The decision to enter politics, taken by the Am-
erican Federation of Labor, is one that sooner or
later was bound to come. The division into two
big parties is disappearing. The group system is
gaining everywhere, and is the natural condition
where no one overshadowing question divides
mankind. A labor party would not do Congress
any harm, and most of the ends for which or-
ganized labor works are just. The unions make
mistakes. So does everybody else. On their
whole record the unions deserve the approbation
of all liberal minds. They should be kept from
despotism, as should every other power, but there
is not apparent danger of their acquiring more
influence than is wielded by certain other and less
admirable combinations. The financial, mercan-
tile, and professional classes have had the world's
ear too much. The laborers have had it too little,
and whatever gives them a more attentive hearing
makes for good.
This is assuredly a "safe, sane and conserva-
tive" view of the latest bogey of privilege,
"labor in politics," and should go a long way
toward reassuring those timid citizens in
whose minds organized labor is somehow as-
sociated with anarchy and revolution. As
pointed out by Collier's, whatever tends to
give labor a more attentive hearing from the
world "makes for good." This is so because
labor has in all ages been the most conserva-
tive element of society, and there is absolutely
nothing to show that American organized la-
bor differs from the general rule in this re-
spect.
MISCELLANEOUS.
As tending to show the storminess of the
winter just passed, Captain Nicholas Reilly, of
the Ellis Island (N. Y.) ferry, counted in a
single day in the beginning of April fifty-three
sailing vessels carrying between them fifty-
seven new topmasts.
Governor Higgins has vetoed the bill pro-
viding for a three-cent railroad fare for school
children, the passage of which by the New
York Legislature was recently noted in the
Journal. The reasons assigned for the veto
were the usual stereotyped ones — "unconstitu-
tional," "class legislation," "dangerous prece-
dent," etc.
There have been two Eight-Hour bills pend-
ing in the New York Legislature during the
present session. One was favored by organ-
ized labor, the other by the contractors and
public-service corporations of the State. On
April 1 8th the bill favored by organized labor
was passed by the Assembly. Although the
ultimate fate of the bill is still uncertain, its
enactment into law is regarded as promising.
At the regular weekly meeting of the New
York Central Federated Union on April 15, a
communication was read frbm the Executive
Council of the American Federation of Labor,
emphasizing the need of organized labor to
make a direct appeal to the conscience of the
people through an independent ballot. Upon
motion the communication was indorsed, and
the Central Federated Union pledged itself to
hereafter support at the polls only those meas-
ures and candidates that are in harmony with
the labor movement.
The most active antagonist against Typo-
graphical Union No. 6 — "Big Six," as it is
generally called — in its fight for an -eight-hour
day, has been the Butterick Publishing Com-
pany. That the fight is beginning to tell on the
latter concern is evidenced by the fact that
when its stock was recently offered for sale
on the New York Stock Exchange it dropped
within an hour from 52^2 to 40. The com-
pany makes no attempt to deny that its busi-
ness has declined considerably since it declared
for the "Open Shop," nor that its forthcoming
financial report will show decreased earnings.
An indignant New York citizen writes to
one of the metropolitan papers on "the flood
of labor bills" absorbing the attention of the
Legislature. Says he :
Is it not time some action was taken by the
Merchants' Association, the City Club, the Citi-
zens' Union, and other public-spirited bodies?
Where are the Chamber of Commerce, the Board
of Trade, the Produce and other exchanges, the
different civic bodies who are looking out for the
welfare and prosperity of the city and State? It
is time they woke up, else the most obnoxious
bills ever introduced at the instance of the men
paid by the labor organizations at Albany will be
put through and become law.
It's rather rich referring to a lot of institu-
tions standing for nothing more patriotic than
profits for all the traffic will bear as "bodies
who are looking out for the welfare and pros-
perity of the city and State." Probably the
writer thought that the best way to serve the
city and State is to gain control over them
through some political machine and work them
for all they are worth.
The opening of the excursion season in and
around New York harbor serves to recall to
the observer the utter worthlessness of Fed-
eral inspection of steam vessels, as brought out
at the inquiry into the General Slocum horror.
The same old type of floating tinderbox cof-
fins, of which the Slocum was an example, is
still doing duty. The crowds that go ex-
cursioning are greater than ever, as may be
expected from the steady increase in New
York's population, and the deckhands that
mn the boats are of the usual type of water-
front slimes, neither sailors nor soldiers, nor
anything else that would be of the least use in
an emergency afloat or ashore. As for the
life-saving and fire-extinguishing apparatus,
no one seems to know what improvements if
any have been effected in that line. There was
some attempt by the authorities for a while
after the Slocum disaster to enforce the regu-
lations in regard to drilling of crews and
against the overcrowding of excursion boats,
but by now it has all simmered down again to
the same old happy-go-lucky, "let her go,
Smith ; she's all right" method of inspection.
So long as human nature is weak and pri-
vate depravity exists, so long will there be
1 official venality, for no government can be bet-
ter than the governed.

Rear-Admiral Bowles, President of the Fore

thority of note favoring Ship Subsidies as a
means of inducing American boys to seek serv-
ice before the mast in the merchant marine. It
will now be in order for our statesmen to get
the views of Wu Ting-fang on the subject.
On the very day that the distressing news of
the San Francisco earthquake reached New
York the "funny column" of one of the after-
noon papers contained the two following
"pert paragraphs" :
There was no popular demand for that shake
in San Francisco.
Probably that shake in San Francisco was
made by agents of Vesuvius.
Such heartless levity would be out of place
even in a missionary-gorged Cassowary's post-
prandial reflections on the uncertainties of hu-
man life. But, then, some of our present-day
"molders of public opinion" are doing their
molding in a manner strongly suggestive of
minds inspired by nothing more altruistic than
incipient delirium tremens. Anyway, such
"journalism" as that typified by the "pert
paragraphs" quoted above is altogether too
common nowadays to leave much credit to be
reflected upon the press as a whole. What
many of our newspaper offices seem to need as
much as anything else is an occasional business
visit from the fool killer.
Those two old platitudes to the effect that
the poor we have always with us, and that the
exceptional man will get rich no matter what
kind of economic system we devise, would
carry a good deal more weight as arguments
; had we ever tried any kind of economic sys-
tem other than one based upon special privi-
leges to the few in the form of monopoly of
natural resources. As it is, the civilization we
are bragging so much about is simply the out-
ward and visible manifestation of a system of
latent corruption which rewards an honest
workingman with a mere living, and a financial
crook with all the splendors of Elysium and the
powers of a feudal baron. Any man who is
willing to hold a brief in defense of that sort
of an economic system is morally either a
shortsighted fool, or a calculating rogue to
whom the terms right and wrong acquire a
distinct meaning only in so far as there is any-
thing "in it" for himself. Trust papers please
copy, and politicians please search themselves
to see which of the two classes they b'eldrig to.

hold round-trip tickets and will return to their
homes on the ioth. It is reported that hundreds
of people along the Southern California coast
are anxious to make an excursion trip to San
Francisco.
A telegram received at San Francisco on May
2 from Juneau, Alaska, announced the arrival
there of the German steamer Mariechen, previ-
ously reported ashore at False Bay, in tow of the
salving steamer Salvor for Esquimalt. Conflict-
ing reports had been received concerning the
vessel and this is the first definite news of her
whereabouts and condition.
Hundreds of refreshment stands have been
erected near the Ferry Building, and along the
water front of San Francisco, since the big fire,
and each day sees an increase in their number.
Many of these stands are conducted by restauran-
teurs and chefs who were in lucrative business up
town a month ago, but who are now willing to
carrj on even a small and inconvenient trade in
order to keep busy. But almost without excep-
tion these refreshment stands are making money.
All the way up the California coast the steamer
San Juan sailed through discolored seas. Al-
though Captain Urry and his crew were not
aware of it, this discoloration is believed to
have resulted from the big earthquake of April
18, and the two-score smaller temblors that have
since stirred up things on the coast. The discol-
oration of the water was first noted by the San
Juan's officers in Santa Barbara Channel, and
until they reached San Francisco on May 5 the
sea was muddy.
The log raft which left the mouth of the Colum-
bia River 111 tow of the steam-schooner Francis
II. Leggett, and subsequently broke adrift, is still
unaccounted for. The raft is in the form of logs,
and contains 8,000,000 feet of lumber, board
measurement. It was reported at San Francisco
on May 8 that the Francis H. Leggett and the
steam-schooner Ravalli had returned to Eureka,
with the report that they had been unable to find
the raft. It is believed to have gone ashore some-
where on the northern coast.
\ new fourteen-foot Hag, donated by the
1 li eanic Steamship Company, was thrown to the
breeze from the lofty staff on the Merchants'
Exchange building in San Francisco on May 5,
giving an air of cheerfulness to the otherwise
desolate neighborhood. The Exchange employes
are still doing business in the building, occupy-
ing the entrance, and the marine department "will
find a home in the large hall by the middle of the
coming week. Telephone wires are now working
between the Exchange and the Point Lobos
lookout station, as well as Meiggs Wharf.
Arlington dock, at Seattle, Wash., filled with
Government supplies, intended for shipment to
the Philippines on the transport Sherman, was
destroyed by fire on May 7. The rigging of the
Sherman was damaged, and the masts and the
rigging of the French ship Daniel, lying north
of the dock, were damaged by the flames. Sev-
eral boxcars standing alongside the warehouses
were burned. The losses are approximately as
follow-.: United States Signal Corps supplies,
$100,000; Arlington dock (fully insured), $50,000;
United States commissary supplies, $14,000; 20,-
000 sacks of flour, $20,000. Total, $184,000.
The excursion steamer Spokane, of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company's fleet, was taken to
Broadway wharf No. 2, at San Francisco, on May
8, to be used as a mess ship and restaurant for the
next two weeks. Crews and employees of the
company arc to be given their meals on board,
and others desiring refreshment on board will
be served if they are willing to pay the price.
The regular lines of the company have lately been
overtaxed in feeding people, and it has been diffi-
cult for the crews to perform necessary work
and take the steamers to sea on schedule time. At
the end of two weeks the Spokane will proceed
to Puget Sound to begin excursion trips to
Alaska, under command of Captain Carroll.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
I. V. Ffotes, who had charge of the construction
of the ironclad Monitor, died at Wheaton, 111.,
on April 30.
Premier Seddon, of New Zealand, is moving
for the establishment of a State-owned line of
steamers between that country and Great Britain.
The steam-schooner Del Norte, arriving at
San Francisco on May 7 from Crescent City, Or.,
brought a number of packages of supplies for the
homeless in the former city.
The schooner Carrie and Annie collided with
the barkentine Georgina off Meiggs wharf in
San Francisco Bay on May 6, but slight damage
resulted. The tug Relief separated the vessels.
The steamer City of Topeka, Captain Reilly,
which has been laid up at Broadway wharf, San
Francisco, since the fire, is nearly ready to sail
for the North. She will ply between Seattle and
Southeastern Alaska points.
Clem Randall, formerly in command of the
steamer St. Paul and one of the best known
master-mariners on the Coast, has been appoint-
ed assistant to Captain Gray, manager of the
Merchants and Shipowners' Towboat Company.
A telegram received at San Francisco on May
3 from Shanghai, by way of London, reported
that the steamer Bessie Dollar, from Mukilteo
for Shanghai, was ashore in the tide-way of the
river, but would probably get off after discharg-
ing part of her cargo.
Anxious to learn the details of the great de-
struction by earthquake and fire in San Fran-
cisco, the Occidental and Oriental liner Doric
made the best time in her history between Yoko-
hama and Honolulu, accomplishing the run in
nine days and three hours.
An action was brought in the United States
District Court at San Francisco on May 8 to libel
the barkentine Amelia, to satisfy a claim of $550
said to be due the Pacific Shipyard and Ways
Company, for services and material rendered at
the order of the managing owner of the vessel.
The Alaska Packers' Association's fleet is sail-
ing for the northern canneries with men and
supplies. The ship Sintram sailed from San
Francisco on May 5 for Pyramid Harbor, and
the ship Lucile and steamer Nushagak have also
sailed for Bristol Bay. Other vessels are about
to leave for the canneries.
The steamer Breakwater, of the Spreckels line,
hitherto running to Coos Bay, sailed from San
Francisco on May 1 direct to Portland with a
good passenger list and large cargo. It has
been decided to keep this steamer on the run,
and she will leave pier No. 7 at San Francisco on
May 15 for Portland, via Coos Bay.
The steamer Columbia, of the San Francisco
and Portland route, is nearly ready to resume
business. The vessel was undergoing repairs at
tlie Union Iron Works at the time of the earth-
quake, and was tumbled through the floor of the
dock. This additional injury to the steamer has
been repaired, and the Columbia is at present
apparently all ready for service.
The steamer Curacao, Captain Paulson, will sail
from San Francisco on May 18 for the Mexican
coast, with passengers and freight. A stop will
be made at San Pedro, and it is likely that the
steamer will touch at Magdalena Bay on the way
south, to land mail and supplies for the Mexican
dents there. The Curacao will return the
latter part of the month.
The long overdue British ship Red Rock is at
last reported to be safe. She sailed from San
Francisco on October 20 for Liverpool, Eng.,
with a general cargo, and for weeks past has
been on the overdue board, quoted at ?o per cent
for reinsurance. On May 4 a telegram from
Liverpool reported that the Red Rock had passed
Kinsale. on the British coast, apparently in good
conditi in
The Oceanic liner Sonoma, which was sched-
uled to sail from San Francisco on April 19, but
was unable to get out on account of the disaster,
will sail on May 31. A large number of passen-
have ben booked for the trip. The steamer
Sierra of the same line, due at San Francisco on
May 21. from Australia and New Zealand, has a
large number of passengers. She sailed from
Auckland. X. Z., on May 5.
The steamer Maheno of the Canadian-Aus-
tralian line, arrived at Victoria, B. C, on May 7,
after a record-breaking trip of twenty-one days
from Sydney. N. S. W.. with 328 passengers,
beating the previous record held by the Moana
by ten hours. The Maheno is the first turbine
steamer to cross the Pacific Ocean. On the way
from Honolulu Hugh McCarley, a seaman, from
Sydney, fell overboard and was drowned.
The San Francisco Harbor Commissioners es-
timate that the total damage to all shipping fa-
cilities, and East street, which is controlled by
the Harbor Commission, will amount to perhaps
$600,000, or $400,000 less than was at first es-
timated. Only four sheds — on Mission I, Wash-
ington. Broadway 2 and Union 1 wharves — were
ruined by the earthquake, and five gangs of pile-
drivers and wreckers arc engaged in tearing away
the rums.
Many of the cabin passengers who arrived at
San Francisco on May 7 on the steamer State of
California from the south have come only to see
the sight of a fire-swept city, and some of them
are making their homes aboard the ship. They

The Great Lakes Towing Company has given
a contract for a tug which will be a combination
ice-crusher and fire-tug, besides doing the ordi-
nary work of towing. It will be 76 feet on the
keel, 17 feet beam, and 7 feet depth of hold. For
service as a lire-boat the tug will have a pump
capable of supplying 5,000 gallons a minute and
will be equipped with four hose lines and a
■ land-pipe. The tug will be in service at various
Lake towns, and along the docks its fire-extin-
guishing equipment may often be of use.
The well-known imitativeness of the Japanese,
says the American Machinist, is instanced by the
anecdote of an American machinery salesman
who in 1904 sold to Russia and Japan one each
of a certain machine for marine work. Some
time having elapsed without any additional or-
der-, he made an investigation and found Russia's
machine untouched and neglected in a navy-yard;
but the situation in Japan was much different,
for in a navy-yard in the latter country he found
that the machine had been used as a model and
many others built after it.
The experiment made in depending solely on
native Filipinos to man the cars of the Manila
trie Railway has proved eminently success-
ful, says Electricity. The native has lived up to
the requirements of the job fully as well as the
white man could have done under any conditions
and probably better, taking the climate into con-
sideration. To operate a modern electric car
in the crowded streets of an Oriental city, where
the traffic and pedestrians are absolutely at vari-
ance and unaccustomed to so foreign an element,
calls for the full measure of steadiness and re-
sourcefulness to avoid accident.
According to the Boston Transcript, the cat
is rapidly becoming a favorite article of food in
certain parts of Italy, particularly in Venice and
Verona. In these and some other cities also, the
butchers sell dressed cats under the name of
rabbits. There is a law against eating cats, but,
not withstanding, a large business is done in rais-
ing cats for the market. The cat is usually cooked
by roasting in the oven until brown, along with
onions, garlic, parsley, bay leaves, and other
herbs. "There seems to be no good reason,"
says Good Health, "why there should be a preju-
dice against cats. .Squirrels arc very commonly
eaten. The squirrel eats nuts ordinarily, but it
eats birds also when it does not find a good
supply of its natural foods. Cats are in every way
as wholesome as fish. Nearly all fish are strictly
carnivorous, while cats take readily to a diet
of bread and milk." ,
The oldest artificial leg in existence is now in
the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons
of England; as reported by the British Medical
Journal. It was found in a tomb at Capua, and
is described in the catalog as follows: "Roman
artificial leg; the artificial limb accurately repre-
sents the form of the leg; it is made with pieces
of thin bronze, fastened by bronzed nails to a
wooden core. Two iron bars, having holes at
their free ends, are attached to the upper ex-
tremity of the bronze; a quadrilateral piece of
iron, found near the position of the foot, is
thought to have given strength to it. There is
no trace of the foot, and the wooden core had
nearly crumbled away. The skeleton had its
waist surrounded by a belt of sheet bronze edged
with small rivets, probably used to fasten a
leather lining. Three painted vases (red figures
-11 .1 black ground) lay at the feet of the skele-
ton The vases belong to a rather advanced
period in the decline of art (about 300 B. C.)"

WORK OF EXCLUSION LEAGUE.
The Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League, of San Francisco, held its regular
monthly meeting last Sunday. The occasion
was also the first anniversary of the League.
Arrangements had been made at the preced-
ing meeting to celebrate the close of the first
year's successful work with fitting ceremon-
ies. The incidents of the recent pastprecluded
the carrying out of these plans. However,
the necessary business of the League was
transacted, possibly with greater earnest-
ness and dispatch than would otherwise have
been the case. A constitution was adopted,
and officers elected, the incumbents, who in
each instance have rendered excellent serv-
ice, being chosen by unanimous vote.
resolution expressive of the League's ap-
preciation of the aid rendered it, and its con-
fidence in the success of its work was
adopted, as follows :

strated its necessity and usefulness: and.

The work accomplished by the League
during the past year has fully justified its
existence. To that body, more than to any
other single agency, probably more than t"
all other agencies combined, is due the main-
tenance of the present Exclusion laws. But
for the vigorous and widespread protest orig-
inated by the League against the various
proposals to •'modify" the Exclusion laws,
it is morally certain that the latter would by
this time have been seriously impaired. In
addition to the work of maintaining intact
the existing laws OH the subject of Chinese
Exclusion, much progress has been made in
the creation of a general sentiment favorable
to the extension of these laws so as to ex-
clude Japanese and Koreans. The vast
amount of literature disseminated and the
extensive correspondence established by the
League have arrested, public attention
throughout the country to an extent that is
bound to produce material results in the near
future.
The work of the League will be continued
without let-up, and in fact with increased
diligence in proportion to the increased
necessity of the present situation. One of
the prime requisites to a realization of the
"greater and grander San Francisco" is a
greater and grander Japanese and Korean
Exclusion League, to the end that when the
metropolis of the Pacific Coast shall be re-
juvenated, it shall be inhabited by a better,
a freer and a more numerous race of Ameri-
can workingmen and women. A new city
containing more yellow or brown labor than
did the old one won't be worth the trouble
involved in its construction, so far as labor is
concerned, nor in fact, so far as anybody
else is concerned. It is, therefore, the imper-
ative and immediate duty of the working-
men and women of San Francisco to con-
tinue and increase their efforts in the work
of the Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League. The membership of that body has
been materially reduced by the enfon
exodus of the people, which condition must
continue for some time. This loss must be
made good by greater industry and devotion
on the part of those who are fortunate
enough to be able to remain on the ground.
That the situation will lie thus met is a
foregone conclusion, demonstrated by the
earnestness displayed by the members pres-
ent at the meeting of the League last Sun-
day.
In passing, we would urge upon the trade-
unionists and all public-spirited citizens in
other localities on the Pacific Coast, that
they do all in their power to carry a share of
the increased burden imposed upon the peo-
ple of San Francisco in this connection. The
earthquake and conflagration have passed —
never to return, as we hope. The problem of
American versus Mongolian labor is still
with us. However that problem may be set-
tled, the result will be felt by the people of
the whole Coast in larger proportionate de-
gree than ever before. It, therefore, he-
lp iovcs the people to aid with all their might
in realizing the determination of the Ja-
panese and Korean Exclusion League that
tlie future of San Francisco and other cities
•.ted by the recent disaster shall not
he marred by a cheap, coolie-labor problem
v acute than that of the past.
THE PRESIDENT'S .MAMA.
The people of San Francisco, now that
they have had time to gather themselves to-
g ther a bit. share equally with the country
at lar.ue in sympathy for the other cities of
( alifornia which suffered by the earthquake
even more, comparatively, than did the me-

Editor Coasl Seamen's Journal: — The term
"square deal." so frequently used by Mr. Roose-
velt, is a gambling term. Before Mr. Roosi
began to use it in describing the relationship of
man to man. it was probably only known at the
card-table. There are other ' ed in the
me connection, which are equally as important,
and may be of some use | oosevelt. for
instance, "square shuffle," "square cm." •'square

Mr. Roosevelt but recently hurled tin- phrase
to the four wind-, with all the force that that
gentleman is capable of. in connection with the
distribution of the relief supplies which hi
n contributed, forwarded and are at present
being distributed to the once prosperous, but
now destitute inhabitants of San Francisco.
The incident referred to was caused by a fear
entertained by Mr. Roosevelt, arising from his
knowledge of how greatly the Caucasian- have
i. red from the Mongolians in San Francisco,
and his belief that to balance the accounts, the
Former would withhold relief supplies from the
latter. Possibly Mr. Roosevelt is judging us by
himself. We have in the past, and will in the
future, -hare these Supplies with our yellow,
oval-eyed brothers, and render them many other
services. Hut above all things, we will give them
all inducements at our disposal to depart for
their own country. We will do this - of
who disapproves of it. The conclusion has been
forced upon us that if the Mongolians are al-
lowed to enter and remain, that they will soon
exclude us. We have determined to stay here.
Therefore the Mongolians must of nece
go, and if need be, their champions with them.
PRO-AMERICAN.
The subject of our correspondent's re-
marks is one that has aroused very wide-
spread comment, even to the extent of elicit-
ing an official expression of dissent upon the
part of the committee entrusted with the
management of the city's affairs during the
crisis through which it has just passed.
When 1 'resident Roosevelt issued the now-
famous declaration that the Chinese should
be succored equally with all other classes of
the community he revealed a state of mind
that goes far t< > explain his general attitude
toward the people of the West, in their ef-
forts to protect themselves against Mon-
golian labor. The thought that the Chinese
might be denied a full share in the relief so
promptly and generously afforded San Fran-
cisco by the people of the country at large
could be conceived only in a mind engrossed
with an entirely false impression concerning
the animus of the attitude of the American
people in the West toward the Chinese and
other Mongolians. In other words, Mr.
Roosevelt evidently thinks that we are op-
posed to the Chinese upon personal grourK
and that our opposition assumes the form of
personal hatred, and is, therefore, apt to
manifest itself in inhuman acts. Upon this
assumption of the President's mental atti-
tude his injudicious, premature and entirely
unnecessary appeal on behalf of the Mon-
golians is as natural as it was inevitable. The
explanation of his course given by the Presi-
dent himself, namely, newspaper report.
does not mend matters, since it is obvious
that such report wasi on its face, open to
suspicion.
The mania which President Roosevelt at-
tributes to the people of San Francisco ex-
ists solely in the President's own mind.
With the former, the question of Chi:
Exclusion is not a personal question, but an
economic one. We favor and demand the
continued exclusion of Chinese, not so much
because of antipathy to the individual mem-
ber-- of that race as because of the danger
to the American standard of living arising
from contact with that race. So far as the
duties of humanity are concerned, particu-
larly in an emergency such as existed in San
Francisco a few weeks ago, the people of
that city, as of every other locality of the
West, may be depended upon to make no
.

distinction of race, color or creed. This, of
course, is well understood by every one
familiar with the guiding principles of the
Exclusion movement. The fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is unacquainted with these
principles, and regards the whole question
as a case of personal prejudice, accounts for
his unfortunate break in the matter of Chi-
nese relief.
Among the menaces not chargeable to uncer-
tain nature or unknown causes is the big lumber-
raft now adrift in the Pacific. It contains six
million feet and may go to pieces at any time
and greatly endanger shipping. What is the use
of complaining about the dangers which we can
not avert while we deliberately create for our-
selves others equally bad? is the question which
rises in the mind of the philosophic inquirer. The
only answer is none. So long as humanity con-
sists in getting along in a slipshod fashion re-
gardless of consequences there are bound to be
just such happenings. — San Francisco Chronicle.
The question asked by the Chronicle has
been in the minds and on the tongues of men
for many years. As to the answer — well,
probably it will be found after a great catas-
trophe has occurred as a result of collision
with one of these menaces to navigation.
This paper has asked that question, and pro-
posed a remedy for the evil involved, upon
numerous occasions in the past. But what's
the use? If it takes an earthquake and a
conflagration to make men realize the dan-
:ger of faulty construction in buildings, it
is quite likely to take some other form of
catastrophe to compel recognition of the
dangers of faulty methods of transportation
by water. And yet we boast of our fore-
sight !
Prominent among the losses sustained by
San Francisco in the recent great calamity is
the suspension of the Star, owned, edited
and published by James H. Barry. The
Star plant was completely destroyed, and
Mr. Barry, in order to accommodate his
business associates, has devoted his entire
energies to filling the printing orders of the
latter. The success already achieved in this
direction by the Barry Company is a
source of mutual congratulation upon the
part of all concerned, but no more by reason
of the personal convenience thus afforded
than by reason of the prospect it affords of
the early resumption of publication of the
Star. That paper, always a powerful in-
strument of public good, is needed now more
than at any time in its existence, and it is
likely, nay certain, to be needed still more
as time passes. We hope to be able to wel-
come the reappearance of the Star at a
very early date.
In the gigantic task of rebuilding
San Francisco, the trade-unionist occupies
a place second to none in importance, as
compared with that occupied by the repre-
sentatives of other factors of the community.
The labor movement must be rebuilt, and
only those remaining of that movement can
do that work. The Committee on Recon-
struction is a very important body, but its
work will amount to little, from a labor
standpoint, unless accompanied by a cor-
responding activity on the part of the Or-
ganizing Committee of the San Francisco
Labor Council. The salvation of the local
labor situation depends mainly upon the lat-
ter body, and it should lose no time in get-
ting down to serious work.
The action of the American Federation of
Labor in appealing for one day's pay from
each member of the organizations affiliated
with the Federation, in aid of the San Fran-
cisco sufferers, is fully appreciated by the
latter, and particularly by the trade-union-
ists of that city. The prompt and generous
steps taken by many International unions
in aid of their respective locals, has also
greatly encouraged the members of the local
labor movement. All in all, organized labor,
both local and National, has fully demon-
strated that in a great emergency its will
and power for good are equal to those of any
other form of association among men.
The headquarters of the Sailors' Union of
the Pacific are now in running order in the
temporary building on Folsom Street Dock.
San Francisco. The Marine Firemen, Cooks
and Stewards, and Bay and River Steam-
boatmen are also located in the same struc-
ture. The business of these organizations is
being transacted in the usual way. Space
is somewhat limited, of course, but with the
necessary patience and forbearance on the
part of the members no serious inconven-
ience need be experienced.
Much credit for the saving of the docks
north of the Ferry Building is due to Cap-
tain Wallace, of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, who, by the skillful disposition
of the steamers under his authority, was en-
abled to use their fire-fighting apparatus. to
the best possible advantage. Captain Wal-
lace, in his long and successful career as a
seaman, has coped with many emergencies
even more dire than that of April i8, and he
was therefore able to put his experience to
good use.
The Journal's local contemporaries, the
Labor Clarion and Organized Labor,
have resumed publication after a brief sus-
pension, due to the destruction of their
equipment. We congratulate these publica-
tions upon the energy displayed by them
and wish them a long future of increased
prosperity.
Members of the Sailors' Union of the Pa-
cific, in common with all other organized
workers in San Francisco, have used every
means to further the relief work in that city.
While the regular schedule of wages and
hours has been maintained, all overtime pay
has been suspended during the working of
relief cargoes.
Attention is directed to the temporal}' lo-
cation of the Journal's city advertisers, as
published on page 12 of this issue. In all
instances these firms are, or shortly will be,
prepared to do business as before. Our San
Francisco readers are, therefore, under no
necessity to go out of town for their pur-
chases.
Agents of the Sailors' Union of tin Pa-
cific are requested to promptly forward re-
vised letter lists for publication in the
Journal.
Now, more than ever before, the tra de-
unionists of San Francisco and their friends
should demand the union label on all pur-
chases.

An apparatus which will give instant alarm
when a vessel is navigating water so shallow as
to be dang it; which will trace on a
disk an accurate representation of the bottom
over which a boat may be passing, maintaining
a constant record of the depth of water; which
may also be used to record tidal action — an
invention which will do all these has been per-
fected and patented by E. S. Wheeler, veteran
chief -a at Detroit. It
is called a bathometer: pronounced bathom-e-
ter, with the accent on the second syllable. It

marine men who have seen the workings of the
machine are most favorably impressed with its
value.
The quick work of tbe Great Lakes Towing
Company's lug Rescue in clearing the block-
ade caused by the recent sinking of the steamer
[roquois at the dykes has been generally com-
mented upon. Estimates made by the Lake
shipmasters was that the channel would be
closed to navigation for at least forty-eight
hour-. The Rescue, however, cleared the chan-
nel with a delay of only a fraction of that
time. The major portion of the cargo aft was
removed, the boat was swung out of the way
and enough of the cargo replaced to trim the
boat. The Rescue took 7,000 bushels to the
ind deposited it in an elevator. The
statement is made thai by avoiding delays to

BODY IDENTIFIED.
The body of an unknown woman which was
washed ashore at Southampton, Ont., recently.
and believed to be one of the victims of the
steamer Kaliyuga, which foundered on Lake
Huron last summer, has been identified as
Mrs. Harry LaFlamme, second cook of the
Kaliyuga. She was identified by means of a
iption wired to Southampton by her sis-
ter. Mrs. Michael Ronan, of Xo. 63 Whitman
street. Mrs. Ronan said that she thought
from the general description that it was her
sister, but was not sure until the initials en-
graved on the inside of the wedding ring
found on the woman were wired to her. The
officials of the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company,
which owned the steamer Kaliyuga, have or-
dered the body sent to Cleveland. On its ar-
rival it will be turned over to the sister for
burial. The body of a man, thought to be
Harry LaFlamme, steward on the Kaliyuga,
was washed ashore near Port Huron some
months ago, but was never positively identi-
fied. .
FURUSETH VISITS THE LAKES.
Following the Erie meeting between the
delegates of the International Longshore-
men's Association and the International Sea-
men's Union of America, Secretary Penje and
Mr. A. Furuseth made a short tour of the
Lake ports. It had been the intention for Mr.
Walter Macarthur, editor of the Journal, to
accompany the former gentlemen, but the dis-
aster in San Francisco prevented that, much
to the disappointment of the members on the
Lakes. A- number of special meetings were
held at each port, which were addressed by
Secretary Penje and Mr. Furuseth. There is
a world of instruction in those heart-to-heart
talks with tbe members, and the situation of
the Lakes district was fully gone into and ex-
plained.
CARGO BLASTED OUT.
An unusual sight was presented at Con-
neaut a short time ago by the steamer Elwood,
of the Pittsburg Steamship Company's fleet.
She arrived with a cargo of frozen oil, which
had to be blasted out of her with dynamite.
It will be remembered that this vessel was
one of the many which were caught in the
great storm on Lake Superior last fall. She
succeeded in returning to Duluth Harbor.
The Elwood sank in Duluth Harbor, and dur-
ing the cold weather which followed her cargo
of oil was frozen solid. She was raised this
spring and sent to Toledo ; could not handle
her cargo there, and from there to Con-
neaut. where for the best part of three days
and nights men worked blasting her cargo.
She left Conneaut for Toledo drydock on
April 28. The barge Bryn Mawr, of the same
fleet, also came to Conneaut. The barges Na-
smyth, Corliss and No. 131, went to Ashta-
bula, all with frozen cargoes, which had to be
blasted out.
OPENING HARBORS.
The hydraulic dredge Burton, owned by the
Government, is at present engaged in opening
the harbors into the various ports on Lake Erie.
At the opening of the season the usual diffi-
culty was experienced at Fairport, where a
bar had formed across the mouth of the river.
The Burton was at work upon it before the
ice was out of the harbor, and has now coni-
1 the job. From there she will go to Con-
neaut. where the channel has been narrowed
by the winter deposits of silt. Boats can go
in and out without danger, but it is necessary
to proceed with caution. In a few days the
channel will lie back to its normal width and
depth. The same is true at Ashtabula, where
tbe channels have been narrowed by the win-
ter deposits. The Burton, after leaving Con-
neaut. will do the emergency work at Ashta-
bula, and then proceed to Toledo to work on
the straight channel.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
BUILDING A PORT.
The effort of the Short Line Railway to
build up a new port of importance at Sandusky
has created considerable interest in marine cir-
cles. Sandusky Bay was formerly the center
of Lake commerce. That was at the time
when ports were smaller and the draught de-
manded was not as great as that of today. In
recent years the shallowness of the bay and
the difficulty of maintaining a channel has
operated against Sandusky, and in favor of
some of the other south shore ports.
The Short Line Railway, which has been
the principal feeder of that port, is now re-
ported to have made arrangements with two
other railroads to handle their business. The
result expected is that Sandusky will increase
in importance as a transfer harbor.
The Government has been appealed to for
aid, and the city of Sandusky has made an ap-
propriation for dredging. The Government
this year is starting the construction of a
channel 400 feet wide and twenty-one feet
deep. This will extend only from the Lake
to the Short Line clock. The Government has
agreed to dredge only the shale, sand and
gravel, while all rock dredging will be done by
the city authorities. Sandusky has appropri-
ated $50,000 for this purpose, and will let a
contract in a few days. The bay itself aver-
ages only about eleven feet deep. Along the
shore line where docks would have to be placed
the water is only six to eight feet deep. At a
depth of sixteen to seventeen feet rock is en-
countered, which has to be blasted out. This
rock lifts toward the shore, making channel
construction a most expensive process.
It is extremely improbable that even in years
Sandusky will take the same place it formerly
occupied, as the principal Lake port, but the
marine men say that there is every facility for
and everv possibility of increasing the out-
bound shipments of that port. Last year San-
dusky's receipts were 362,072 tons, while its
shipments, principally coal, were 1,127,810
tons. In the matter of receipts, therefore, its
commerce was practically nil. In the matter
of receipts it equaled many of the smaller
ports along the Lake. In the same time Lorain
shipments were 1,100,000 tons, and Huron
259,000 tons. The effort of Sandusky and the
Short Line Railway is centered for the time
being on increasing the receipts, principally
of ore, to a basis commensurate with its out-
bound commerce. Last year Toledo received
1,400,000 tons, Huron 932,000, and Fairport
2,500,000 tons. In order to increase San-
dusky's importance it will be necessary to
establish new docks for the handling of ore
and it is expected that before this year is
over this work will be done.
WORK AT HURON.
The Government has just sunk three cribs
in the jetties which are under construction at
Huron. When these have been filled and the
superstructure added the Government will
have completed its work there, and the rest
of the improvement will be done by Hunkin
Brothers. They have a contract for work
which is to cost $150,000. The west pier is to
be rebuilt and extended, and the east pier is
to be removed and a new pier built. The dis-
tance between the new piers at the outer end
will be 300 feet, while at the inner end the
distance between them will be over 500 feet.
This will give the harbor a wider entrance and
at the same time a refuge for ships in the event
of a storm. At the present time Huron pre-
sents the scene of greatest activity along the
south shore of Lake Erie. The Wheeling &
Lake Erie Railroad has appropriated the sum
of $500,000, which is to be used in building a
new slip and equipping it with machinery for
handling cargoes. The new slip will be one
of the most expensive on Lake Erie. It will
have a new Hulett ore unloader and a new
McMyler car dump.
The United States steamer Visitor recently
located and buoyed the wreck of the steamer
Minch. She is lying eight and one-half miles
east of the Middle Island lighthouse, with
twenty-three feet of water in the clear. The
buoy covered with galvanized iron left on the
wreck last winter is still in place. The Gov-
ernment has a contract with a Sandusky firm
for cutting the boat down to give twenty-five
feet of water, and intends as soon as possible
to have the wreck blown up.
The owners of the steamer C. F. Bielman
have been assessed $4,264 by the Canadian
courts as a result of a collision in St. Clair
River last May, which resulted in the complete
loss of the sandsucker Burroughs, owned by
C. W. Cadwell, of Windsor. The costs of the
suit and 5 per cent interest on award are also
charged against defendants.
Four thousand workmen are employed in
the manufacture of straw braids and hats at
Florence, Italy, and 80,000 women and chil-
dren devote their spare time to braiding and
plaiting.

One thousand structural ironwork-

May 2. A large number of general
building trades men are also affected.
The electricians of all the telegraph
companies in Minnesota, North and
.South Dakota, struck on May 3.
About 800 men walked out.
Telegraphers on the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad received an advance
in wages on May I, as a result of re-
cent conferences with officers of the
company. Twelve hours will consti-
tute a day's work, and all time in ex-
cess of this will be paid for at a rate
of 25 cents an hour.
The United States Supreme Court
has advanced the hearing of the
habeas corpus cases of Moyer, Hay-
wood and Pettibone, charged with
complicity in the murder of former-
Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho,
naming the first Tuesday in October
as the date for their presentation.
A strike of union cigar-makers was
started at Boston, Mass., on May 7.
It is estimated that about 1200 men
are out in an effort to force an in-
crease in wages. Most of the small
places have agreed to the new union
schedule, which called for an increase
of from 50 cents to $2 a day in various
grades of cigars.
President Gompers, of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, replying to
the request of President Roosevelt,
has submitted particulars of a number
nf instances in which the National
Eight-Hour law is being violated.
The information has been referred
to United States Commissioner of
Labor Neill for a complete report.
After a long debate the Trades
Disputes bill, which is designed to de-
fine the liability of trade-unions for
damages through their acts, and
which marks the legal limitations of
persuasion and picketing in times of
strikes, was passed to its second
reading without opposition in the
British House of Commons on April
25-
On the advice of President Mitchell,
representing the sub-scale committee.
the United Mine Workers' conven-
tion on May 5, unanimously voted to
adopt the first proposition of the op-
erators for a continuation of the
award of the Anthracite Coal Com-
mission, with the modification that
the term for which it is to continue
shall be mutually agreed upon. The
operators' suggestion was that it
should be at least three years.
Efforts were made in 1899 by the
New York Bureau of Labor to obtain
as complete a record as possible of
all accidents for three months in in-
dustries which comprised half the fac-
tory workers in the State. A large
part of these factories were in New
York City or its neighborhood. The
returns were confessedly incomplete,
yet they showed 1822 accidents. On
this basis all the factories in the
United States would in a year show
14.576 accidents.
In the current issue of the Typo-
graphical Journal, the official publica-
tion of the International Typographi-
cal Union, there is an accounting of
the International receipts and ex-
penses of the strike for an eight-hour
day from August 4, 1905, to April 21,
1906. It shows that the expenditure?
out of the Defense Fund for benefits
and expenses during that time were
$612,277, and that the receipts for the
Defense Fund during the same period
were $669,109. The balance on hand
August 24, 1905, was $86,791.41.

The police of Barcelona, Spain, on
May 7, discovered an anarchist con-
spiracy. There have been sixteen ar-
rests and eight bombs have been
seized.
The committee of the International
Postal Convention, in session at
Rome, Italy, has rejected the proposal
of the delegate from New Zealand for
the establishment of a universal two-
cent postage rate.
The latest rumor as to the where-
abouts of Father Gapon appears in
the Echo de Paris, which says he is
in London, enjoying himself upon the
money he earned as a spy in the ser-
vice of the Russian secret police.
It is reported that if trouble really
does occur between Turkey and Great
Britain as a consequence of the dis-
pute over Tabas territory, the Turk-
ish navy, in all probability, will be
commanded by an American — -Ad-
miral Mammscord Bucknam. '
The British War Office has been in-
formed of a battle between the forces
of the Emir of Hadeja one of the
most powerful native rulers of Nor-
thern Nigeria, and a British expedi-
tion which was sent against him in
March. The Emir was captured.
The Count de Smet de Naeyer, a
cadet sailing ship used by the Belgian
Government for training officers for
the Government service, foundered in
the Bay of Biscay on April 18, with
a loss of thirty-two lives, including
the captain and the officer command-
ing the cadets.
The newspapers of Lisbon, Portu-
gal, print a sensational story of an
alleged Boer conspiracy to seize Por-
tuguese territory in Southern Angola
by force of arms and then to found a
new Boer republic. The name of an
ex-Boer general is said to be connect-
ed with the plot.
The Portuguese warship Baptista
Andrado, which was carrying a new
Governor to Mozambique, disap-
peared some months ago. It has now
been found that she was driven ashore
by a cyclone on an uninhabited Afri-
can island. When found all hands
were living Crusoe-like. All were well.
Governor General Ide of the Phil-
ippine Islands has appointed a com-
mittee of Judges for the purpose of
examining the records of the cases of
prisoners under sentence for sedition
and insurrection, with a view of de-
termining if such prisoners can be
given their liberty without endanger
ing the public peace. Bilibid prison
contains 4,000 native prisoners a large
percentage of whom are serving sen-
tences for the above mentioned
crimes.
The French election results on May
7 show increasing Government gains.
The Ministry of the Interior gives
the gains at thirty-five and the losses
at eleven, or a net gain of twenty-
four seats. The effect of this is to
give the "Bloc" or groups supporting
the Government in the Chamber of
Deputies 243 votes, against a total
vote of 146 for the opposition groups.
The governmental Left, therefore, ap-
pears to be assured of a majority of
about 100.
The Occidental and Oriental liner
Doric, at San Francisco, reports
that the Russian transport Sal-
ize, when cruising off Askold Isl-
and, near Vladivostok; a few weeks
ago, with 2000 troops on board, struck
a floating mine. At least 150 soldiers
on the lower decks were killed, but
all others on board were saved al-
though the Salize was seriously dam-
aged, and only by the utmost endeav-
ors on the part of the officers and
crew saved from foundering.

Ci I \ST SEAMEN'S J( )URNAL.
WITH THE WITS.
No Pretense.— "So you want to
work?"
"Please don't misunderstand me. I
don't want to work, but I've got to."
Active Service — Friend — "Have you
ever seen active service. Colonel?"
Colonel Grass "I have, sir— very
active. 1 once promised a waiter two
shillings it he served me quickly."
Couldn't Lose It. — "1 see the San
Franciscans made a brave light to
save their mint."
"Yes, sab: yes. sah." responded the
gentleman from the South: "the julep
season approaches, sah."
Breakage. --"I have promised my
friends to break silence." said the
smoked-out gangster.
"Go slow," commented a shrewd
adviser. "If you're bound to break
something, better break that prom-
ise."
All Troubles— "Oh, well, we've all
got troubles in this world."
"( >h. 1 don't km iw "
"Oh, yes, indeed. Some have
empty cupboards and poekctbooks
and others have yachts and automo-
biles.'
Visible Agitation.- "Speaking of a
labor agitation," began the lazy re-
porter, "the worst in my experi-
ence— "
"Was when some one asked you to
do some real work." broke in the city
editor, who knew his man.
Xot Swell Garments. — Hicl
"Plodder seems to consider himself a
real society man."
Wicks. — "Yes. he contends that a
man of polish doesn't need to be rich
to shine in good society."
Hicks — "Yes. but all Plodder's shine
aftd polish are on his coat."
Too Modest. — "Please send a
stamped and directed envelope with
your manuscript," said the magazine
editor's circular.
"No, thanks." replied the occasional
contributor. "I've heard of people so
conceited that they wrote letters to
themselves, but I'm not one of them."
Too Busy. — Senior Partner — "The
new man doesn't seem to have de-
veloped any good points yet."
Junior Partner -"No, he hasn't had
time.'
Senior Partner — "Hasn't bad time?"
Junior Partner — "No, he spends
most of his time explaining bis mis-
takes.'
Scared Himself. — "That didn't hurt
much," said the man in the chair, gaz-
ing in a surprised way at the exlracted
molar."
"Thought it would kill you. 1 sup-
pose." remarked the dentist. "You
must have been reading jokes about
my profession."
"Reading 'em! Why, man. I write
'em regularly."
He Had Done His Share. — He was
ten years old and had gone to the den-

NO PROPERTY RIGHTS IN MAN.
THE following review of the injunction
question was presented by Andrew Furu-
seth, before the Judiciary Committee of
the House of Representatives, during the hear-
ings on the Anti-Injunction bill (H. R. 4445), and
is reprinted from the American Federationist:
Let it be clear in the minds of this committee
and of Congress that labor — organized or unor-
ganized— does not ask for the destruction of the
injunction as it rightly applies to the protection
of property. We do protest against and resent
the perversion of the equity power, glaring ex-
amples of which you have here in your records.
You seek our reasons for asking legislation to
restrain judicial abuses of the equity power in
labor disputes. I am commissioned by laboring
men to present some of their reasons. We fed
strongly on this question. You have had it un-
der consideration for years, and before this com-
mittee makes any recommendations to the
House, I want to make suggestions which 1 be-
lieve go to the bottom of this subject.
The one man power to enjoin, to forbid, to
legislate, except as used by the father, was, we,
think, first conferred upon the Roman tribunes,
elected for one year, and to be used to protect the
plebeians against the patricians. This power was
absolute and irresponsible. The person of the
tribune was made sacred. Contempt of him or
violations of him were punished by death.
The tribune having been clothed with absolute
and irresponsible power to forbid, it was soon
understood that this included powers to com-
mand, and the tribunitian power created the
Roman Emperor. The powers of the Emperor,
who in his person represented and exercised all
the authority of the people, made him sovereign.
These powers were resurrected and conferred
upon Carl the Great, the first Emperor of the
Ho'y Roman Empire of the middle ages.
As absolutism developed, as freedom was lost
to the people, the Kings assumed, in theory
and in fact, the powers which had been vested in
the Emperors of the old Empire over which they
became sovereigns. The power to forbid — to
legislate — was vested in the King. He was sov-
ereign, and by virtue of his sovereignty could and
did rule by command or proclamation. Under
the name of equity this absolute power was
adopted into our system, but only in the form
and for the purpose then used in England. It
was conferred upon our federal judges, who are
appointed for life. We suffer under the misuse
of this power.
We believe that it has been unduly extended.
We come to you to submit our complaint, and
it is not that the judges have not power enough,
but that they are exercising powers which we
believe they have not. We fear this power, we
t'eel its results. From what we have seen, we
believe it capable of infinite extension when per-
mitted to go beyond the boundary set at its adop-
tion into our system. 1 shall now endeavor to
state why we fear it and what reasons we think
we have for this feeling.
Any condition of society, no matter how pro-
duced, which condition prevents a healthy family
life, is destructive of humanity and should be
resisted.
The condition may be inherent in the system;
it may have been artificially created by legisla-
tion or by judicial decisions.
In either case it
is man's sacred duty to insist upon such changes
or remedies as shall put within reach of the in-
dustrious father the power to support a family
in health.
The energies of existing society are devoted to
the production of wealth for sale. The struggle
between individual firms, communities, and na-
tions is to produce wealth so cheaply as to be
able to undersell any other.
To be the workshop of the world was the am-
bition of England, of the Manchester school of
economics. To accomplish this, land, machinery,
and labor had to be brought to the lowest figure
and skill to the highest. Land and machinery
bought for the lowest figures and held in private
ownership were conceived to be the most econ-
omical, and the question was how to get the
cheapest possible labor. The workers must
have sufficient wages for subsistence and repro-
duction. Under the old system of production
labor had been needed especially on the land, and
it had, therefore, been tied to each manor by
registration, and its wages determined by judges
sitting in quarter sessions under the statute of
laborers.
The concentration brought about by factory
production made the old system costly, hence
inconvenient, and the registration in manors and
the statute of laborers were repealed. The
laborers, however, remained on the land in too
great numbers, and they were needed in the
factories. When needed on the land, they were
tied to the land. Now, when needed in the fac-
tories, they were driven from the land.
The first condition of getting labor cheap is to
so arrange that it becomes plentiful and depend-
ent; hence the razing of old English villages and
the driving of the workers into the cities, where,
landless and homeless, they must work for such
wages as the employers should be willing to
pay.
Rut as wages must be sufficient for sustenance
and reproduction, the cost of food became all-
important. For generations England had main-
tained a protective tariff on foodstuffs, in the in-
terest of the land-owner. The factory owner
wanted cheap food in order to get cheap labor,
and between the two interests arose a fierce
struggle, which ended in the present system of
free trade in foodstuffs.
Under the existing system of land tenure and
prices farming became unprofitable, tilled land
was turned into pastures, and more laborers
were driven into the cities to bid against those
already there. Thus followed further reduction
in wages and a still further lowering of the
standard of living. It came to a condition in
which the husband working 16 hours per day
was utterly unable to provide for the family.
Children were compelled to work in the dusty at-
mosphere of the factories for 14 to 10 hours per
day; their physical development was arrested;
their mental aiid moral development became im-
possible. Still lower wages and standards had to
go, and mothers were compelled by bitter need
to work under-ground, doing work now done by
mules, steam, electricity, or to stand on their
feet tending machines until it often happened that
they were taken with labor-pains at their work.
Labor, voiceless, homeless, and hungry, had
been made so cheap that its very 1 heapness was
destroying its efficiency and threatening its ex-
tinction.
Laborers resisted to the best of their ability.
but leaving one master who was bad often meant
going to another who was worse. If one or more
men quit, there were others to take their places;
quitting work singly was no remedy, since it
could not interfere with production by stopping
machinery. Then they joined together in unions
— voluntary associations — based upon the right
of quitting work individually. As subjects they
had the same rights as other subjects — freedom
of locomotion, of speech, of the press, and of as-
sembly.
Assuming that they did not lose these rights by
laboring for a living, they assembled, they dis-
cussed their grievances, they printed them in
pamphlets, books, and papers. They appealed to
others to join with them, and determined to re-
fuse to labor until their worst grievances should
be remedied, and found that, while the statute of
laborers had been repealed, the conspiracy law,
based upon this statute, was, according to the
rulings of the judges, still in force, and they
were punished for doing as workingmen wdiat
they as subjects had a full right to do.
They did not give up, although they found
themselves thus punished. Combinations to
raise wages being forbidden, they still combined.
Notwithstanding traitors in their own ranks,
they struggled onward. They punished their
traitors as deliberately as did the old Germans
in their Fehm-Gerieht. They were executed or
transported for having acted as judges and exe-
cutioners, but they still persisterl. They could
but partly stay the inevitable downward trend,
but at last it became evident that wages must be
sufficient for sustenance and reproduction, and
legislators were compelled to pass laws legaliz-
ing collective action and curtailing the power
of the judiciary.
The trade-union acts were passed and the
conspiracy law was amended, so that men in
England might use their rights as subjects to
defend their interests as workers. How many
men were driven from their families, executed, or
transported; to what extent the race was crippled
before relief came from legislative depression oi
the wage rate or judicial usurpation in the inter-
est of cheap labor, we can only surmise, but it
came at last, thanks to the bitter and determined
Struggle of the workers, assisted to sonic extent
by humanitarians, chiefly members of England's
old aristocracy.
Not that the Struggle there is won. but im-
provement has. begun, and that it will continue
and finally be won may reasonably be expected
from the temper which could face prison and
transportation in the past.

to labor were long in common use in this coun-
try and were transferable by inheritance or sale.
Tiny were recognized by the organic law, and

the republic produce the same results as in Eng-

After the adoption of the Declaration of Inde-
and the Constitution, the enforcement
of ten CtS to labor was stopped in some
mi States, and such contracts ceased to be
made. The individual workman could leave the
employer with whom he was dissatisfied and seek
another. The white worker's right of locomo-
tion and of th- • I ship i if his own
body, became, except in one of two callings,
recognized. The s; chattel slavery was
an amendment to the constitu-
xisience was adi ipted.
With freedom to seek better conditions and
with land yet plentiful there were early mar-
. large families, and a healthy people.
There was no mournful cry of race suicide. But,
as laud became settled, or absorbed in individual
Ownership, and this outlet was stopped, city
slums grew, low wages, long hours, and want
became more and more common here. Wages
went below the line of subsistence and repro-
duction, the number of marriages and of children
decreased, while prostitution grew. This became
v,, apparent that the census gave much attention
to ascertain the extent of the condition, it was
found to be worse than was suspected, and the
talk of race suicide was heard — women standing
on their feet until their capacity for motherhood
was destroyed, children stunted in their physical
and mental growth by work utterly unsuited to
their .
Remedies more or less successful were sug-
gested and tried. Here, as in England, men
quit as individuals, but found the quitting in-
effective. Here, as there, they came together in
voluntary associations and quit work in unison
until their grievances should be redressed, and in
so doing found themselves violating statutes or
judicial decisions designed purely to keep labor
cheap. Constant agitation, repeated violations
and punishment, gradually molded a public opin-
ion that compelled a final recognition of men's
right to quit work collectively -to strike. Stat-
utes and decisions treating the strike as conspir-
acy were repealed or became obsolete.
Men who had struck endeavored to persuade
workmen not to take their places — this,
in order to compel an adjustment of the trouble;
and. when adjustment did not follow, appeals
were made to the public to cease giving patron-
age t" the unfair firm — that is, they levied a boy-
cott on the firm in question.
Thus, the two main weapons of organized labor
came into use, and as they grew older and more
systematic they became so effective that the em-
ploye! was looking for some remedy, and from
out of the lumber room of the past came the in-
junction as it was when most abused by the
Court of Star Chamber. That is, it came as a
proclamation by the court forbidding the work-
ers to perform some specified <>r unspecified acts
of which the employer complained, <>n pain of

seems to be what the injunction is nowadays
when used in labor disputes It used to be "a
judicial process operating in personam, and re-
quiring the person to whom it was directed to
do or refrain from doing particular things," and
this to protect property rights.
Like other parts of our judicial system, we
have our injunctions from England. The king.
by virtue of his absolute power, legislative, ju-
dicial, and executive, would be appealed to when
some one was about to do something not for-
bidden by the law. yet if done would cause great
injury Something needed to be protected; the
law was insufficient, and, by virtue of his abso-

command; if to many a royal proclamation. In
the first instance it was intended to protect the
individual, and in the second the community.

The royal poser being irresponsible and abso-
lute, it was necessarily misused by the individuals
intrusted with lis execution and their friends,
and had to be curtailed, circumscribed, and care-
fully guarded.
There was a time when the Court of Star
Chamber was used in England as our courts are
now being Used, to forbid tin doing and then
punish disobedience without trial by jury in any
and every direction. Personal liberty was at the
whim and caprice of this court, but the English
people would not long tolerate any such use of
the royal power. The people abolished the Court
of Star Chamber and compelled the King to
sign the Hill of Rights.
It became the fundamental principles of chan-
cery or equity that:
i. It was to be exercised for the protection of
property rights only.
2. "He who would seek its aid must come with
clean hands."
V "There must be no adequate remedy at
law."
4 It must never be used to curtail personal
rights.
5. It must not be used to punish crime.
It was substantially in this shape that it was
accepted by this country, engrafted in our con-
stitution, and the power of its administration
conferred upon our courts.
Equity law and jurisdiction at that time had
cific meaning, and any extension in juris-
diction, any enlargement of scope, must come
from the people through an amendment to the
constitution, or there is judicial usurpation.
If injunctions, which nowadays are issued in
disputes between employers and employes, can
stand the test of these principles, our complaint
should be against the law. If they can not, then
we have a just complaint against the judges, who,
cither from ignorance or mistaken zeal for pub-
lii order and cheap labor, misuse their power —
act as a sovereign in issuing his proclamations.
The fundamental principle of American law
as we understand it. is that there shall be no
property rights in man. A man's labor power is
part of him; it fluctuates with his health, de-
creases when he grows old, and ceases at his
death. It can not be divorced from man, and
therefore under our system can not be property.
Property may be bought, sold, or destroyed with-
out destroying the possessor thereof; it is the
product of labor or of nature. Labor is an at-
tribute of life, and through no system of legit-
imate reasoning can it be treated or denominated
as property.
An individual, a firm, or a corporation runs
an enterprise for the production of some form of
property. Through grant or purchase land has
been obtained. Upon the land buildings have
been erected and machinery installed, and to
the plant has been brought the necessary raw
material. These things are property, and,
based upon its possession, contracts are entered
into to furnish within a given time a stated
amount of commodities. Giving this property
in pawn, money is borrowed to pay operating
expenses. lint without labor these things will
produce nothing. Labor is obtained and produc-
tion begins. Being in business to make money,
the company in question (assuming the produc-
ing concern to be a combine) first endeavors
to find out how much of any kind of work a
man can do, going at his highest capacity, and
it begins the piecework.
Prices are gradually reduced until the great-
est capacity is ascertained, and that becomes
the standard of production. Wages are gradu-
ally reduced until the labor of the husband can
not sustain the family. The wife helps in any
way she can. and the children are sent to the
factory. Still 'the earnings are too small, and the
wife goes there also. Wages are under the dan-
ger line, but are still going down. A poorer
home, ragged and untaught children growing up
as half savages. Young men and women see
the situation and refrain from matrimony. Mar-
riages and births are on the decline, and the
rising generation is stunted.
The laborers get together in voluntary asso-
ciation, that is. they use their freedom of as-
sembly. They bring their grievances before the
management — petition for redress of grievances.
They are refused, and, to enforce their petition.
they use their right to quit work — use their
freedom of locomotion. They publish the facts
of the disagreement, the causes which led thereto;
they induce, or endeavor to induce, other work-
ers to make common cause with them — their
right freely to print and publish. They are suc-
cessful to such an extent that production is par-
tially stopped. The company endeavors to get
other men. and the men on strike appeal to
the public to refrain from purchasing commodi-
ties manufactured by the lir-m. They levy a boy-
cott. They appeal to fellow-workmen and the
public to use their purchasing power to redress
a grievance. Sales of stock on hand decrease,
and the company is unable to meet its obliga-
tions, fill its orders, or fulfill its contracts.
The company then uocs to some judge and
appeals to him to use the equity process to pro-
tect what it calls its property.. It sets forth
that it has the land, the appliances, the raw
material, and contracts to deliver goods, but,
owing to a ''conspiracy" on the part of labor,
it is unable to get workmen, and its property,
that is, its business, is being destroyed. The
takes the statement and issues an order
forbidding the workmen "to interfere with the
business" of the firm. The workmen know that
edience means imprisonment for contempt,
and, disheartened and hopeless, they obey. The
firm gets new men, its business moves again; but
1 hose at work must live in squalor, children must
be laboring instead of at school, women must
be in the factory instead of in the home. Home
life is destroyed. Still fewer grow the mar-
riages, stil fewer the children. The equity pro-
cess has been used so that homes are destroyed,
women are made barren, and the coming genera-
tion of men are made unfit for their life-work.
Has any judge the right to use the equity
power in this way? The workmen have used
their constitutional rights as citizens — freedom
of locomotion, of assembly, of speech, and the
press. They have not destroyed any tangible
property; they have neither interfered with, nor
threatened to interfere with, any property. But
the attorney for the plaintiff sets up the idea
that the earning power of property is property,
that is, business is property. The earning power
of a plant depends upon labor, and sales depend
upon patronage.
The firm can have no property right in labor,
because that is inherent in the laborer and would
mean property right in the laborer. The firm
has no vested right in the patronage of the pub-
lic. Patronage is the free act of the patron.
Under our system it is a new doctrine that the
ownership of a store carries with it a vested
right in the patronage, or that the ownership of
a factory carries with it the vested right to so
much labor and at such prices as will make it
profitable. Such doctrine followed to its logical
conclusion would destroy all personal liberty,
transform existing society, and re-establish the
feudal system.
Do these men who are driving women into
the factory and crippling the race come into
court with clean hands?
They seek the aid of equity to protect their
financial and industrial interests, and yet they
run their industry in such a way as to cause
untold misery, destitution, and crime. Wages
so low as to cripple or destroy the race. If
their hands be clean how must they act to be
ci msidered unclean ?
Injunctions — proclamations —used contrary to
and destructive of constitutional guarantees of
individual freedom, are usurpation, wdiether they
take place in a monarchy by the king or in a
republic by a judge. The power is the same, its
results are the same, and a people that will en-
dure become serfs, will deteriorate and (lie.
Gentlemen, you have before you two bills,
dealing in different ways with injunctions. H.
R. 4445. by Mr. Little, of Arkansas. You have
had this bill before you during several Con-
gresses. You have had hearings on it, and SO
far as has appeared at those hearings this bill
would, if enacted into law, put a stop to the use
of injunctions in labor disputes. That the rela-
tions between laborers and their employers are
personal relations as distinct from property re-
lations; that the rights of either party are per-
sonal rights, as distinct from property rights,
will hardly be seriously disputed.
If these are the true relations, then there is
no occasion for the equity power to step in. We
maintain that it is pure usurpation on the part
of the judge to so extend the powers granted to
him as to cover labor disputes. We believe that
by passing this bill you stop the usurpation and
bring the law and the judges back to where it
and they belong. Labor will be content with
nothing less. Anything short of this robs the
laborer, because he is a laborer, of his rights
as a citizen.
You have also before you II . R. 0328, "a bill
to regulate the granting of restraining orders in
certain cases." by Mr. Gilbert, of Indiana. This
bill, supposed to have had its origin in the White
House, and drawn in the Bureau of Corporations,
confers upon the courts sitting 111 equity absolute
jurisdiction in all cases "involving in or growing
out of labor disputes." The judge is to give the
defendant a hearing, but may, as in any Other
suits at law. proceed if the defendant shall fail
to appear. We have complained that the use
made of the equity process in labor disputes is
usurpation of a sovereignty not granted to the
courts. It seems to us that in this bill the grant
is about to be made.
Sovereignty was partially (not wholly) dele-
gated to the federal government; the States and
the people are presumed to retain full powers
of sovereignty. The judiciary has been permit-
ted to claim title to and exercise an undefined
authority, by Congressional tolerance— the ab-
sence id' prohibitive statutes.
federal judges (I speak respectfully and by
way of illustration) found a kind of "legal public
domain" upon which any daring squatter might
locate; the judiciary entered, took posses, ion.
and this bill (9328) is apparently designed to
establish their title in fee simple, "to have and to
hold forever."
Labor disputes are controversies between em-
ployers and employes, and they involve the
hours of labor, the wage to be paid, rules under
which work is to be performed, the number of
apprentices, and the qualifications of men at the
work. Growing out of them are strikes, boy-
eotts, the inducing of men to quit work or to
refuse to go to work, and efforts to induce the
public to cease buying the goods produced. The
judge sitting in equity is given jurisdiction by
this bill, we think, over all these relations. He IS
to investigate, to hear and determine, to act, in
fact, as arbiter, and he is given the equity power
with which to enforce his decree.
If this be not the re-enactment of the law giv-
ing to judges the power, and making it their
duty to set the wages as at the quarter-sessions,
after hearing both sides, what is it? The Ro-
mans conferred this absolute and irresponsible
power on a tribune, elected for one year, in
order that he should use it to protect the weak
against the strong; are we going to give it to

CAPE COD CANAL. FAST SHIP'S FIRST TRIP. MISCELLANEOUS.
Canal to a New Yorker means one of two

sented a registration of over 23,000,000 tons.
Records for twenty years show that about
150 vessels went down off the cape, involv-
ing a loss of about sixty-five lives and $1,-
600,000 worth of property.
Next to Cape Hatteras this is the most
dangerous part of the Coast. In addition,
Vineyard Sound is fogbound for nearly a
hundred days out of each year. With the
new ship canal all these difficulties will be
avoided and 120 miles by the outside route
or seventy miles by the Sound route will
be saved.
The scheme has been talked of for more
than two centuries. From Buzzard's Bay to
Cape Cod Bay, the distance at several points
is hardly ten miles. The soil is sandy and
is believed to be free from rock ledges cal-
culated to impede excavation. Most of the
work can be done by dredging.
Under a Massachusetts charter., and with
a capital of $6,000,000 and authorized bonds
of an equal amount, the Iloston, Cape Cod
and New York Canal Company has been
purchasing its right of way. The plans have
been made so that, as business may warrant
an appeal for a greater capacity to accom-
modate tonnage, the waterway may be both
widened and deepened without excessive ;
cost. Organization completed, right of way I
purchased, surveys of the route made and
engineering plans laid, dredging and excava-
tion will start before long, and the backers
of the undertaking are confident that two
years and a half will witness the completion
and opening of the waterway.
Provisions have been put, by the State of
Massachusetts, into the charter of the com-
pany to safeguard the people. By the pres-
ent charter the State retains the privilege
of purchasing the entire interest of the canal
company at the end of ten years by the pay-
ment of the cost of construction and an al-
lowance of 10 per cent added as fair compen-
sation. The State also reserves the right
to limit the profit of the canal company be-
yond 10 per cent per annum, thus fairly pro-
tecting the public against the possibility of
excessive tolls at anv time.
The new fast French Line steamer, La
Provence, arrived at New York on April 27
on her maiden trip, having left Havre on
April 21. An average of twenty-three knols
an hour was made.
The distance of 3,021 miles was covered in
5 days, 23 hours and 10 minutes. The big
liner encountered rough weather. There is
little reason to doubt that she will in the
near future greatly improve upon this very
creditable showing.
This new ocean greyhound was con-
structed at the Penhoet Works, St. Nazaire,
France, and is the largest and fastest vessel
in the French mercantile marine. Her length
over all is 627 feet. She is fitted with Bell
Safety Signal System long-distance wireless
telegraphy.
1 he La Provence has six steel decks. The
upper promenade deck aft contains the cafe
and terrace cafe, with a seating capacity of
sixty persons, decorated in pale green, while
forward on this deck the charthouse, cap-
tain and officers' berths are located.
( Mi the promenade deck are two large
suites of rooms, consisting of parlor, sleep-
ing room and private bath, sumptuously
decorated in the style of Louis XVI, and
connected with these suites are large fam-
ily cabins capable of accommodating three
persons. On the upper deck is a dining sa-
loon with a seating capacity of 250 passen-
gers at a time. This is practically a repro-
duction of the dining room in the old Due
de Soubise palace in Paris, decorated in
light green.
Another unique feature is the installation
of an elevator running from the saloon to
upper promenade deck, operated by elec-
tricity and located on the starboard side of
the main entrance. A regular daily news-
paper will be published on board, containing
all wireless news received from shore.
The schooner Edith L. Allen, of the coast-
wise coal carrying fleet, has been towed to
Norfolk by the tug Peerless, of Baltimore.
The schooner's bowsprit was missing, ap-
parently carried away in the recent gale.
The Atlantic Transport liner Mississippi,
built by the New York Shipbuilding Com-
pany three years ago, is now at Belfast, Ire-
land, being altered for the accommodation
ol second and third-class passengers.
One of the longest voyages ever under-
taken by a tugboat was begun on May 3,
when the Colima sailed from the Neafle &
Levy shipyard at Philadelphia, Pa., for Man-
zanilla, a new port on the west coast of
Mexico. The distance to be covered by the
diminutive vessel is about 13,000 miles, and
to reach her destination the little boat will
have to go through the Straits of Magellan.
Captain Charles McGoldrick and a crew of
fourteen men are in charge of the tug. The
Colima was built for the Mexican Central
Railway Company. She is 90 feet in length
and 22 feet beam. The tug will carry 450
tons of coal, but will make several stops to
replenish her bunkers. The new port of
Manzanillo will be formally opened with the
arrival of the Colima.
The new four-masted schooner Herbert D.
Maxwell arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., re-
cently, from Savannah, on her maiden voy-
age, with a cargo of lumber. The vessel
was built at Bath, Me., for Delaware and
Maryland capitalists. Captain W. J. Quil-
len, who commands the vessel, is also her
managing owner.
'lis well for the peace of us all upon this

And yet, what man would play the game for

piness ?
It is, of course, not easy for an outsider to
find out the views of Congress on the need of
restricting immigration, but any one at all
conversant with the conditions at the port of
Xew York can not fail to perceive that the
Immigration Inspection Service is woefully
undermanned. Lately the immigrants have
begun to arrive at such a rate that the In-
spectors at Ellis Island have had to work from
twelve to sixteen hours a day. At that they
are not able to keep up with their task. On a
recent occasion, for instance, 16,000 immi-
grants were detained on .board of their ships
awaiting inspection. Some of these had been
waiting during two days, and the majority
were not likely to pass for two more. It is
plain under the circumstances that the work
of inspection can not be done properly, and
that, perforce, it must be more or less per-
functory in character, no matter how con-
scientious the Inspectors may be. The deduc-
tion from this would seem to be that the pres-
ent system of immigration inspection should
be enforced and perfected as much as possible
before we attempt to extend it by more dead-
letter statutes.
( irganized labor has come to play such an
important part in our economic life that, after
the manner of all things commanding atten-
tion, it has been subjected to criticism on all
sides. Most of the criticism has, of course.
been directed to such points as the minimum
wage, the eight-hour day, limitation of ap-
prentices, and the "Closed Shop." In con-
sidering these, and other aspects of trade-
union activity, it is noticeable that few of the
critics seem to understand that many of the
demands upon employers, made by the trade-
unions, are in the nature of defensive war
measures, put forward as checks to the em-
ployers' machinations rather than for an) in-
trinsic merits they may possess. In short he
relations between the trade-unions an'l the
employers are the relations existing between
two warring factions in any field of human
endeavor, and the demands for a minimum
wage and workday are naturally called forth
by the constant inclination on the part of the
employers to beat down wages and lengthen
the workday, regardless of whether or not
there exists any economic necessity for so do-
ing.
The United States Commissioner of Navi-
gation is said to have declared that twenty
years hence America's square-rigged fl
will have disappeared. Not a single vessel
of this type has been constructed for two
consecutive fiscal years. There were 633
of these vessels in 1894, representing 595,-
714 tons. Ten years later the number was
322 and the gross tonnage 355,237.

The United States Senate has passed the bill
authorizing a steel lightship for Swift Shore,
Juan de Fuca Strait, Wash., at a cost of $150,000.
The wreck of a barge just awash in the track
of transatlantic liners between Nantucket and
Five Fathom Bank lightship was recently re-
ported by the German steamer Standard.
The barkentine S. G. Wilder, at San Francisco
on May 12 from Honolulu, T. H., reports hav-
ing collided with a large whale, suffering con-
siderable damage to her stern. The whale was
killed.
The steamer Empire, formerly of the Coos
Bay route, but recently purchased by Harry J.
Hart, returned to San Francisco on May 12 with
her machinery disabled, after having sailed the
previous day for .Corinto, Nicaragua.
The iron bark Bertha, steering E. N. E., with
loss of fore topmast and with jury rig forward,
was passed on April 21, in latitude 35.36 N., longi-
tude 45.50 W., by the British steamer Elswick
Grange, which recently arrived at Philadelphia
Pa., from Agua Amarga.
H. P. Woods, of Honolulu, T. H., has cabled
word to San Francisco that Captain Sinclair will
start the schooner yacht Lurline. The Anemone
having arrived at San Diego, and La Paloma on
the way up, it looks as though the proposed
transpacific yacht race will take place according
to the original programme.
The old barkentine Jane L. Stanford has made
a record in sailing that will probably worry
newer vessels for some time to come. Word is
received that the Stanford, lumber-laden, arrived
at Santa Rosalia, in the Gu'f of California, on
April 24 from Port Ludlow, Wash., after a fast
passage of twenty-two days.
The necessity for the employment of the Pa-
cific squadron at the water front at San Fran-
cisco having passed, Rear-Admiral Glass has em-
barked the bluejackets who were ashore there
and has withdrawn his vessels to Mare Island
and other points in the Bay, leaving the work of
patrolling so'ely in the hands of the Army.
Thomas Anderson, an employe of the Hudson
Bay Company, in charge of the Mackenzie River
district, has arrived at Winnipeg, Man., and re-
ports that the American whalers frozen in at
Herschell Island are in no danger of suffering
from lack of food, being plentifully supplied with
deer meat by the Esquimaux in the vicinity.
The steamer Corwin sailed from Seattle, Wash.,
on May 11, for Nome, Alaska, heavily loaded
with freight and crowded with passengers. She
carried a great amount of fresh provisions, an-
ticipating a possible delay if the ice has not yet
broken when she gets into Alaskan waters. The
Corwin is the first vessel of the Alaskan fleet.
It is now generally believed that the long-over-
due steamer Centennial was lost after leaving
Mororan, Japan, for San Francisco, nearly three
months ago. While no advices have been re-
ceived from Dutch Harbor, Alaska, wdiere the
Centennial might have put in, it is no longer
believed that any favorable news will be heard
from that source.
Arrangements have been made for the exten-
sion of the wireless telegraph service on the Pa-
cific Coast, and it is contemplated to expend
something like $65,000 in the establishment of
five additional stations, forming a coastwise sys-
tem of wireless communications from San Fran-
cisco to Puget Sound. The Navy Department
will ask for a special appropriation for this pur-
pose.
Thirty thousand feet of lumber was thrown
overboard from the schooner Abbie on April 25
to save the vessel from foundering. The Abbie
was bound from Gray's Harbor and in latitude 44
degrees north, longitude T_»S degrees west,
was thrown on her beam ends by a gale and high
seas.
Five of the fleet of six sealing schooners, with
Indian hunters, which cruised off the British
Columbia and Southern coasts this season, have
arrived at Victoria, B. C, with a lower catch
than reported for years. The six schooners took
a total of 913 skins, while the total Coast catch
reported is 1,251 skins. The catch last year was
over 1,800 skins.
The general demoralization that followed the
big lire at San Francisco resulted in temporary
suspension of the overdue business, but accord-
ing to M A. Newell & Co., the brokers, a late
list of rcinsurahle vessels will soon be posted. It
has been difficult to secure a resumption of com-
munication with the London headquarters, hence
the failure to give accurate quotations on the
overdues.

charter would be canceled. No word to that ef-
fect having been received, the work of loading

With six feet of water in her hold and much
of her cargo damaged, the schooner Prosper re-
turned to San Francisco on May 12, after having
sailed some days ago for the canneries with sup-
plies for the Alaska Packers' Association. On
May 5, when in latitude 39 deg. 19 min. north,
longitude 135 deg. 30 min. west, the vessel sprang
a leak, and became waterlogged, and it was im-
possible to keep the pumps going.
Lighthouse Inspector H. T. Mayo has issued
a notice to mariners that, owing to damage to
the tower at Point Arena (Cal.) light station,
the first-order fixed white light was discontinued
April 28. A lens lantern, showing a fixed white
light, was temporarily established on May 2 on
the outer gable of the fog signal structure, about
102 feet west northwest of the center of the
tower and about seventy-five feet above mean
high water.
The steamer M. S. Dollar, which was captured
by the Japanese naval authorities nine months
ago while she was atempting to run the blockade
into' Vladivostok, has been purchased from the
Japanese by the Robert Dollar Steamship Com-
pany for cash. The steamer is to be renamed
Stanley Dollar, succeeding the wrecked vessel
of that name. Captain C. H. Cross, now on the
Asiatic Coast, will have command of the vessel,
which will bring a cargo of Oriental freight to
San Francisco.
Taking advantage of the enormous demand fen
lumber in California and in foreign countries,
some of the leading logging firms on the Colum-
bia River have raised the price of logs from $8
to $10 a thousand feet. The effect may be that
Portland mill men will operate their plants at
only about half their capacity. Such a course,
it is believed, won't! probably cut out a big part
of the lumber which had been contracted for to
send foreign and also seriously affect building
operations in San Francisco.
Indications point to the probable loss of the
huge log raft that was recently lost at sea off
Crescent City, Or., by the steamer Francis H.
Leggett. The schooner Vine, arriving at Eureka
on .May 12, reported that at a point twenty miles
off Cape Mendocino she passed twenty or more
loose piles drifting in a southerly direction. The
whereabouts of the remaining thousands of logs
are as yet unknown, but their presence wi'l no
doubt be soon reported. It is likely that the loose
derelicts will in many instances become menaces
off the Coast.
Mrs. Nanton, daughter of Lieutenant-Governor
Sir Henry Jol.i de Lotbiniere, at Victoria, B. C,
on May 1, christened the schooner Duchess of
Bedford, which is to leave that port on May 15 on
an Arctic exploring expedition, carrying notable
American and Danish scientists, who will seek for
undiscovered land and make geographical, ethno-
logical and geological observations. Captain Mik-
kelsen and Ernest Leffingwell, of the University
of Chicago, head the expedition, and Professors
Stefansen, of Harvard, and Ditlevsen, of Copen-
hagen, are the other scientists to accompany the
party. Stefansen will join the party at the mouth
of the Mackenzie River, going overland to the
rendezvous.

Every six months or so, a big new liner
steams np the Xorth River, to the west of
New York City, and displays a great many
uags ; and the ferryboats and lighters whistle
the conventional three-toot salutation, and
the steward's band blares its brassiest as the
leviathan — it is always a "leviathan" —
works laboriously into her dock. Before
noon, we may be sure, certain newspapers
will come out with imaginative pen draw-
ings of the "monster of the deep," sup-
posedly reposing in Broadway at City Hall
Park or standing upright on her twin screws
beside the bark Row building. Then, for a
morning or two, those of us who are so for-
tunate as to sleep in Xew Jersey will make
it a point to step outside of our ferryboat
cabin and stand among the baggage trucks
and the coal wagons and try to pick out the
new liner by her markings on her funnels,
for your true sleeper in New Jersey, though
he may not understand what David Belasco
is so excited about, or who wrote "Prome-
thus Unbound," or why Arthur James Bal-
four resigned, is pretty sure to know that
tlie Cunarders have red funnels with black
tops, that the White Star funnels are buff
with black tops, and that the American and
the Red vStar funnels are black and white.
Then, when we have made out the two
buff funnels of the Amerika, which identify
the latest new ship as the property of the
Hamburg-American Line, we of New Jer-
sey are likely to remain of a morning in the
ferryboat cabin, and to bury our noses in the
very respectable "Xew Jersey edition" of a
very respectable Xew York newspaper. But
the Amerika demands, and deserves, a closet-
look. She marks the goal of a shipbuilding
contest in which close to half a dozen great
lines have been long engaged. She is a mov-
able hotel, in which four thousand persons
can live in greater or less comfort (and some
of it very great, indeed), during the seven
or eight-day voyage from New York to
Plymouth and Hamburg. Every known de-
vice which contributes to the comfort, the
safety, the health and the recreation of ocean
travelers may be found aboard this wonder-
ful ship, and some devices which were never
known before. The system of water-tight
bulkheads has been brought to a point
where it insures nearly absolute safety. The

WEDNESDAY, - - - - MAY 16, 1906
UNION RULES REESTABLISHED.
The labor conditions of San Francisco have
suffered from the general disorganization
caused by the earthquake and fire. Except .in
the case of those workers in well-organized
trades, whose means of livelihood were not
destroyed, and who have consequently been
enabled to maintain the previously-existing
conditions, the wage and hour schedules of the
trade-unions have been subjected to enforced
suspension. The inevitable result is already
apparent in the effort of employers, when re-
suming business, to secure labor upon terms
lower than those prevailing prior to April 18.
Naturally, this result is most apparent in the
case of so-called unskilled labor, by reason of
the two- fold fact that most of the labor now
employed in the citj is of that character, while
the men so employed are precisely the most
helpless against imposition. It is self-evident
that much depends upon tin- direction of the
tendency in labor conditions established at the
present time, whether upward or downward.
It is equally clear that, as between these ten-
dencies, tlie latter is likely to prove most
harmful to the city's future prosperity, since
the establishment of a low status of labor is
certain to proportionately determine the status
of the community at large, not only in ma-
terial, but also in mental and moral respects.
The status of the old San Francisco was high
by virtue, primarily, of the fact that its labor
was free, a fact which, in turn, was due to the
early opportunities of independent livelihood
afforded the p< bat city. The first duty
of the present moment is to so arrange the
labor conditions of the future as to conserve
the freedom of the workers. In the further-
ance of this object the most immediate con-
sideration is that of wages and hours of labor.
In view of the attempts of certain employers,
particularly contractors engaged in clearing
debris, to establish a low scale of wages, the
Commute. recently adopted a resolu-
tion setting forth its views on this question.
The resolution reads as follow
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Commit-
tee that tin- prevailing rati public and
private emp'oyment at ordinary and unskilled
in the city of San Francisco shall be, until
further notice, $2.50 tor a nine-hour day, instead
of $2.50 for an eight-hour day. and all contractors
and employers are hereby requested nmate
and fix wages for ordinary and unskilled labor at
that rate.
This resolution was adopted as a result of
the attempt to establish wages at the rate of
$2.25 for a nine-hour day, so that, in substance,
the wage rate advised by the Committee of
Forty is an advance of 25 cents per day over
the rate sought to be established by the con-
tractors. The reference in the resolution to
the hours of labor on public work is presum-
ably an oversight, since both the city Charter
and the State law distinctly provide that eight
hours shall constitute a day's work in public
employment. Of course, neither the Commit-
tee of Forty nor any other similar body has
power to alter the law in this respect. Further,
it is not advisable that the Eight-Hour law
sin mid be altered: on the contrary, every con-
sideration of present and future welfare re-
quires that that law shall be maintained and
enforced with even more strictness than ever
before. With this understanding of the situa-
tion the San Francisco Labor Council, at its
last meeting, held on May 11, adopted a set
of resolutions, as follows:
Whereas. Reliable information has been re-
ceived that certain employers of labor in this city
are reducing the wages and lengthening the hours
of labor in some of the trades and calling
filiated with this Council; therefore, be it
Reso'.ved, That it is the sense of the San Fran-
cisco Labor Council that all labor performed in
any of the trades and callings represented in this
Council should be performed under the sami
ditions, as far as hours and wages are concerned.
as existed prior to April 18, 1906; further
Resolved, That the Charter provision that eight
hours shall constitute a day's work on all work
performed by the city and county of Sin Fran-
cisco, or by any one on its behalf, should he
strictly observed; further
Resolved, That on work which is urgent two
shifts may be employed,
In brief, these resolutions declare for the
st.attis quo ante — for the reestablishment and
maintenance of the labor conditions existing
prior to April 18. The circumstances which jus-
tified, and indeed necessitated, the temporary
suspension of union rules immediately follow-
ing the disaster, no longer exist. At any rate,
such questions of relief as remain to be con-
sidered are being dealt with in a systematic
manner involving no need of sacrifice on the
part of the workers. To repeat: The imper-
ative need of the moment is the reestablish-
ment of the previously-existing labor condi-
tions. These conditions were none too high;
to reduce them now or in the future would be
to retard the period of complete regeneration,
and probably to forever destroy the hope of a
return to the comparatively free conditions of
labor existing in San Francisco prior to the
destruction of the city. "Economy" is a good
watchword in the present circumstances, but
care must be taken that it be not applied
wrongly. Economy practiced at the expense
of labor is the greatest extravagance. Better
economize at the bung of capital than at the
spigot of labor. Every citizen who would aid
in resurrecting San Francisco from her ruins
should lend his energies to the maintenance of
stable and just conditions of labor, and op-
pose everything savoring of demoralization
in these conditions, since upon these conditions
more than upon anything else, depends the
realization of all hopes for the future of that
city and her people.
When San Francisco ceases to be a "dry"
town a considerable number of Brewery
Workmen will be re-employed. In taking
advantage of the long-deferred joy the pa-
trons of the amber product should not fail
to insist upon the red label of the Brewery
Workmen's Union. Just demand the same
obi label!
PRINCIPLES OF EXCLUSION'.
The Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League, of San Francisco, at its regular
monthly meeting on May 6, adopted a Con-
stitution, under which the League will hence-
forth be governed. In drafting the Constitu-
tion tlie League had the advantage of a year's
practical experience, and it may therefore be
assumed that that document will prove well
adapted to the success of the work in hand.
In the preamble to the Constitution the prin-
ciples upon which the League is founded are
set forth, as follows :
Two unassimilable races can not exist perpetu-
ally in the same territory. Contact between such
races results in the extermination of that one
winch, by reason of its characteristics, physical
or mental, is least adapted to the conditions of
life prevailing in the given territory.
The conditions of life are. in tin- last analysis,
determined by the conditions ,,f labor. Conse-
quently, the question of adaptability, as be I
tWO unassimilable races, must he resolved 11
o| that race the characteristic- of which most
nearly conform to the condition. ,,f labor.
The labor of to-day in the United States is a
machine, as distinguished from a manual. pTi
That race, therefore, which hy its nature is best
suited to complement the machine, as the 1
tial factor of production, is in that respect the
superior race, and therefore best adapted to the
conditions of American industrial life.
The Caucasian and Mongolian races are unas-
similable. Contact between these races must re-
sult, under the conditions of industrial |jf<
taming in the United States, in injury to thi
mer. proportioned to the extent to which such
contact, prevails. The preservation of the
casian race upon American soil, and particularly
upon the Western shore thereof, necessitates the
adoption of all possible measures to prevent or
minimize the immigration of Mongolians to the
United St
"With these principles and purposes in view.
we have formed the Japanese and Korean !
sion League, and we urgently invite the active CO
operation of all American citizens. t<> the end that
the si iil of the United States may be preserved to
the American people of the present and all future
generations, that they may attain the highest pos-
sible moral and material standards, and that they
may maintain a society in keeping with the
highest ideals of freedom and self-government.
Of course, there are, and doubtless will con-
tinue to be, many persons who disapprove of
the Exclusion movement in general, upon one
ground or another. It is believed, however,
that the principles here set forth will stand
the most critical analysis. These principles
being sound, the opposition to Exclusion,
based upon superficial or incidental grounds,
must ultimately give way before the great is-
sue of race preservation. The Exclusion
movement, as it affects all classes of Mon-
golians, is based not upon any feeling of per-
sonal prejudice, hut upon biological and his-
torical truth. That movement must prevail
if the Caucasian race is to continue predomi-
nant upon the American continent.
The League, although somewhat crippled by
the loss of its records, has determined to con-
tinue its work with greater energy than be-
fore. Fortunately the work of the League-
was sufficiently well advanced before the dis-
aster of April 18 to make the task of resump-
tion comparatively easy. Headquarters have
been established at 800 McAllister street, San
Francisco, where Secretary-Treasurer Yocll
may be found during business hours. The
need of the League is now greater than ever,
and it is confidently believed that the situation
will he met by greater individual activity and
more general co-operation on the part of the
affiliated organizations and all public-spirited
bodies.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
Judge Dunne decided yesterday to send John
Condon to the Alaska fisheries, as punishment for
an offense technically known as an assault to
commit robbery. Henry Sheehan, Condon's com-
panion in crime, may be sent also.
The foregoing is a recent San Francisco
press item, clipped from among the other
"unconsidered trifles" of the day. The subject
is one to which this paper has frequently called
attention, and against which it will continue
to protest until one of two things happens,
namely, the abolition of the practice of send-
ing criminals to sea instead of to prison, or
the abolition of the Journal. The judges who
extend clemency of the kind in question may
be commendable as judges, but they are dis-
tinctly otherwise as "seamen's friends." These
judges are, in fact, doing more than any other
factor to further humiliate the seafaring craft
and make it a thing to be despised by honest
men and boys. A certain philosopher has re-
marked that to send a man to sea is to make
a worse use of him than to hang him. A little
of this philosophy would be a good thing in
these days of ill-advised clemency to the crim-
inally-inclined. The seafaring craft must
either be kept free from the taint of criminality
or it must be abandoned entirely to actual or
prospective jailbirds.
The Sailors' Union of the Pacific, at its
regular weekly meeting on the 14th inst., de-
cided to renew its request to the shipowners
for an increase of wages. As noted in these
columns two weeks ago, this request had al-
ready been denied, and the Union had de-
termined to enforce the new scale, when recent
happenings caused the postponement of fur-
ther action. Conditions in the shipping indus-
try having resumed the normal, it is now
hoped that the shipowners will reconsider their
former decision, so that business may be car-
ried on without any possible interruption or
friction. In the present state of things in the
coastwise trade, it is inevitable that shipping
will be more or less hampered unless arrange-
ments satisfactory to shipowners and seamen
be arrived at. It is advisable, too, that such
arrangements should be made upon an endur-
ing basis, in order to insure stability.
Secretary Furuseth, of the Sailors' Union
of the Pacific, returned to San Francisco last
week, after a long stay at Washington, D. C,
where he represented the International Sea-
men's Union of America in the effort to se-
cure legislation on behalf of that craft. Com-
rade Furuseth reports that the legislative
prospects of the seamen are fairly good, al-
though it will be impossible to determine the
actual results until after the adjournment of
Congress. A full report of the work ac-
complished will be published in the Journal
at an early date.
The San Francisco Examiner, of last Sun-
day, issued a bird's-eye photograph of the
ruins of the city. The picture is a good one,
so far as it goes, but it goes only one-fourth
of the distance ; that is, it shows only that pro-
portion of the ruins. As we have already re-
marked, these ruins can't be described in
words nor conceived in imagination ; they can't
even be photographed. They must be seen to
be believed, and even then one must pinch
oneself to make sure that it isn't all a horrible
dream.
If San Francisco ever becomes "greater and
grander" than before, it will not be by virtue
of higher buildings and broader streets, but by
virtue of better conditions for labor.
NO PROPERTY RIGHTS IN MAN.
Continued from Page 2.
our judges appointed for life to be used by the
strong against the weak? The English gave it
to their judges to use in the interest of landed
proprietors against the raise of wages caused
by the black death. Thorold Rodgers in his
"Six Centuries of Work and Wages" has told
us the result.
Why can you not trust the judges somebody
asks? We do trust them. They are to use this
power to stop strikes. When they have to choose
between giving the award in favor of the em-
ployer who seeks to reduce wages or to have
him stop, as he threatens, the business which
gives employment to thousands, and thereby
throw them out of work, his very humanity, as
he feels it, will decide the award. It will be
downward, downward, and downward, as under
the law of the quarter-sessions. It is said that this
bill has the endorsement of the President. That
can not be. If he understands this bill and then
gives to it his endorsement, he is an enemy to
honest labor struggling under adverse condi-
tions for a better life — nay, he would be an
enemy to human liberty. We would not believe
— will not believe it.
In the labor movement, as well as in all walks
of life, there are differences of opinion; diverg-
ent perspectives.
Organized labor demands an anti-injunction
law that will absolutely limit the power of judges
when they deal with controversies growing out
of labor questions — not a law that will be used
as a compulsory arbitration act.
We don't want H. R. 9328.
We do want an effective anti-injunction law.
A. F. OF L. APPEAL FOR AID.
American Federation of Labor.
Washington, D. C, April 24, 1906.
To all organized labor of America :
You are fully aware of the distract-
ing calamity which has befallen our
brothers and sisters of San Francisco and
vicinity. It beggars description. It is more
heartrending than we can concieve. We are
all appalled at the great loss and suffering, and
our sympathy must take practical form. While
the immediate needs to barely sustain life have
been supplied, yet in the days and weeks and
months to come untold suffering and priva-
tion will be endured unless the means are at
hand to obviate and avoid them. Even under
the most favorable circumstances life in
stricken San Francisco and vicinity will be
most difficult to endure for some time to come.
To assauge and alleviate to the fullest the
loss and suffering of our brothers and sisters
of the stricken localities and to help them in
the effort to rehabilitate themselves, their chil-
dren and other dependents, the union mem-
bers, the country over, must help generously
and promptly.
Having these facts in mind, the Executive
Council of the American Federation of Labor'
appeals to all members of organized labor of
America to devote one day's wages, and that
the same be paid to the secretaries of the local
unions or lodges ; by them forwarded to the
headquarters of their respective International
officers and through the latter transmitted to
California.
Local unions affiliated to the American Fed-
eration of Labor direct ("and others which care
to) should forward the day's pay of their
members to Frank Morrison, Secretary, 423-
425 G Street Northwest, Washington, D. C.
ACT AT ONCE.
Fraternally yours,
Samuel GompERS, President.
By order of the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor.
Attest :
Frank Morrison, Secretary.
With this issue the Journal returns to its
usual size, besides being improved in typo-
graphical appearance. The Journal is the
first of the local press to accomplish the Phenix
act, for which we are sincerely grateful to the
printer and pressman.

Common sense demands that no attempt
be made to minimize the effects of the earth-
quake in San Francisco, but that, on the con-
trary, these effects be frankly recognized. Only
by the latter course can the future safety of the
city and its people be safeguarded. The man
who would ignore or belittle the primal cause
of the destruction wrought on April 18 is
guilty of criminal folly and should be given no
place in the public counsels.
The article, "No Property Rights in Man,"
published in this issue, is an extension of the
arguments previously made on the same sub-
ject by the same author. Comrade Furuseth
is recognized as the leading authority on the
Injunction question in the United States, and
his latest presentation of that subject is a valu-
able addition to his work in that line. The
article will amply repay a careful perusal by
our readers.
When ordering printing of any kind, see to
it that it bears the label of the Allied Printing
Trades Council. The San Francisco fire de-
stroyed all the labels in that city, but there are
plentv more where these came from.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
THE KEARSARGE ACCIDENT.
The death of two Officers and five enlisted
men, the serious injury of a number of oth-
ers, and the causing of much disagreeable
criticism throughout the country — all this
is the outcome of a peaceful afternoon of
target practice on board the battle-ship
Kearsarge. That somebody blundered is the
consensus of opinion. Who it was the Navy
Department is attempting to discover. The
facts of the explosion, as given out in the
official dispatch of Captain Winslow, of the
Kearsarge, are as follows :
"On April 13. about 3:15 p. 111., shortly
after completion of target practice on the
Kearsarge in the forward turret, while pow-
der was going below, three sections of a 13-
inch charge wire ignited. Charge of pow-
der in other lift just below and one section
inside 13-inch remained intact. Cause not
yet determined, accountability (sic 1 . Mat-
ter is being investigated. Lieutenant Joseph
YV. Graeme, gun umpire, sent to the Mary-
land in a ver) critical state about 0 p. m.
The following have since died: Lieutenant
lludgins. turret officer; Peter Xorberg, gun-
ner's mate; Theodore Naegely, seaman; An-
ton ( ). Thorson, ordinary seaman; Julius A.
Koester, turret captain, first class; Ellis II.
Athey, seaman. Following was dangerousl)
injured by accident, recovery doubtful; \Y.
King, seaman. Will bury dead at Guanta-
namo. Vessel uninjured."
Lieutenant Graeme, mentioned in the de-
spatch as seriously injured, died the follow-
ing day. The other young officer who was
killed. Lieutenant lludgins. was one of the
wireless-telegraph experts of the navy.
Just two years before, to the day, thirty
men were killed in a somewhat similar ex-
plosion on board the battle-ship Missouri.
A comparison of the two disasters appears
in the New York Tribune:
"Between the explosions on the Missouri
and on the Kearsarge there are several
points of difference. The earlier one began
with the ignition of a charge in the open
breech of a gun while it was being rammed
home. The Hash which resulted spread to
the ammunition hoist, and then to the hand
ling-room, intermediate between the turret
and magazine. In the later instance fire
gained access only to the three sections con-
stituting a single charge which was in the
ammunition hoist but was about to be sent
below. How it was ignited is still a mys-
tery; but it is certain that it was not due
to a 'flare-back' from the gun itself. Mechan-
ism which will prevent a repetition of that
phenomenon has been in use since 1904. Be-
sides . though it is suspected that a bit
of unconsumed canvas from the open breech
may have carried a spark to the powder.
the first effed was observed otitside, not in-
side the gun; lor target practice had just
discontinued, whereas it was in prog-
ress at the time of the explosion on the
Missouri."
( >ur navy has sustained greater loss of
life in these two explosions than it did dur-
ing the entire Spanish war/which is. accord-
ing to the New York Evening Post, "a very
sad. if not a discreditable record." That
such an accident could occur, had all the
ordinary precautions been taken, does not
seem possible to the critics. Says the Roch-
ester Democrat and Chronicle: "It is grati-
fying to know that this accident will receive
a thorough investigation. It needs it.'' —

CHANGES IN LIGHTS.
Announcement was made recently that a
gas buoy, painted red and showing an inter-
mittent light every twenty seconds, is being
installed at the Grand Island Harbor en-
trance, Lake Superior, to mark the wreck of
the steamer Manhattan, which went down
during the storm of November 29 last. The
wreck is on the western side id" the eastern
entrance to the harbor, about a mile from
the lighthouse.
It was also announced that at the Grand
Haven pierhead light station. Lake Michi-
gan, a rear range light has been established
for the guidance of navigators. The light is
sixty-one feet above the mean Lake level,
located on the south pier at the entrance to
the harbor, and forms a range therewith for
entering the harbi ir.
At the Detroit River light station. Lake
Erie, a temporary change in the characteris-
tics at the light has just gone into effect.
The light, located at the month of the river,
was a fixed white, but will for a time here-
after be a flashing white every five seconds.
Tt is announced that the regular characteris-
tic of the light will lie restored as soon as
practicable.
MARINE NOTES.
The Government will spend Si 50,000 in
erecting a breakwater near the steel plant at
Buffalo.
The Goodrich line has chartered the
steamer Carrie Ryerson for the Muskegon-
I 'entwater route.
It is estimated that repairs on the sunken
steamer, Zimmerman, in the Soo River, will
cost $50,000 or more.
Steamers of the Great Lakes & St. Lawrence
Transportation Company will trade to Buf-
falo instead of Montreal this season, accord-
ing to advices from Montreal.
All grain unloading records were broken at
Buffalo recently when 321.637 bushels of
grain were taken out of the steamer Hoover
& Mason in less than thirteen hours.
The White Lake Transportation Company,
of Muskegon, has purchased ex-President
Cleveland's steam yacht Ruth and will operate
her in the excursion business on White Lake.
The steamer Petoskey has been chartered 1 v
Miles Barry for his Muskegon-Chicago route.
She will be operated with the steamer Peer-
It is reported that Larry is also after two
of the old Anchor line passenger steamers.
The steamer Charles Weston, building
at the Lay City yards for the Tonawanda
Transit Company, will be launched on May
1')- She will be christened by Miss Mary
Weston, daughter of Charles Weston, of
Buffalo, X. Y. The Weston is 569 feet
long, and is a sister ship to the William A.
Rogers.
Navigation on the Erie Canal opened
for the season on May 2 and thirty-two boats
departed on that day. carrying 92,500 bush-
els of wheat, 203,450 bushels of oats and
40.CKK) bushels of barley consigned to east-
ern points. The opening rates are 4 cents
on wheat. 2; j cents on oats and 4% cents on
flaxseed t< 1 Yew York.
The loss to insurance companies and to
vessel properties during [906 bids fair to rival
the tremendous losses of [900. Although the
losses appear to be from collisions and
beaching, hardly a morning but a new fleet
of boats are reported ashore in and about the
Soo River. The channel appears to have
about 12 inches less water than ever before.
The schooner W. O. Goodman, for many
years in the Chicago lumber trade, has been
sold by Mrs. Eliza T. Johnson to W. L. Price.
of Boston, Mass., and will be taken to the
Atlantic to engage in the coastwise trade. The
purchaser of the vessel is said to be looking
for another vessel of the same class for that
trade. The Goodman will take a lumber cargo
down.
Three men were drowned at < Uvcn Sound
in the sinking of the tug Clipper, which re-
cently sank about 100 yards from shore.
Those lost are Captain Mcintosh, of French
River; Ed Llesher. of Cutler, and a man
named Johnston, of Midland. A fourth man
got ashore on a door. Flesher's body has
been recovered. The tug belonged to the
Spanish Boom Company, and sprung a leak-
off Bustards Islands.
Hackett & Company, of Quebec,
have purchased the tug Florence and
schooners Aberdeen, Kwen and Zapotec, to
operate in the pulpwood trade from the S:
uenay River and Cape Vincent, X. Y. The
Aberdeen is at Port Huron, the Zapotec at
Buffalo and the Ewen at Tonawanda. The
schooners will he taken to the St. Lawrence
by the Florence and she will tow them here-
after in the new trade. The tug has been
rated in the wrecking business at Amherst-
burg.
Britannia is the name selected for the new-
steamer of the D., I'.. I. & W. Ferry Company,
and J. E. Mullen, Detroit River representative
of the Pittsburg Coal Company, wins the $10
gold piece and the season pass offered by the
company for a name. The name Brit-
annia was suggested a great many
times, but Mr. Mullen was the first. This
name was selected as a compliment to the com-
pany's Canadian patrons and also because it
would sound well, as the new boat is a compan-
i( hi boat to the Columbia.
Sealed proposals for the sale of the light-
house-tender Haze will soon be solicited by ad-
vertisement. Until the date of sale is fixed the
vessel may be viewed at her slip, at the light-
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
house grounds at Buffalo. Conditions of sale
will be announced later. The Haze is a
wooden vessel and was first built for a yacht
at Mystic, Ct. Later she was rebuilt for the
Government service. Last season she was re-
placed in the lighthouse-tender work by the
Crocus, an iron vessel, built especially for use
in the district.
Notice is given that the Peshtigo Reef
light vessel was established in about sev-
. enty-two feet of water, one-half mile south-
east from Peshtigo Reef, on April 28. The
vessel shows a fixed white lens lantern light
from three lanterns encircling the foremast-
head. The light is visible twelve miles in
clear weather. During thick or foggy
weather a fog bell is rung by hand. The
vessel has two masts, schooner rigged, no
bowsprit, and a black circular cagework clay
mark at the fore masthead. The hull is black
with "Peshtigo Reef No. jj" in white on
each side. The deckhouses are buff.
The United States steamer Visitor has lo-
cated the wreck of the steamer Tasmania.
She is lying three miles southwest by one-
fourth south from the southeast shoal light-
ship and five-eights of a mile westerly from
the course from Sandusky to southeast
shoal. The masts stand within one foot of
the surface and the master of the Visitor re-
ports that there is a great deal of wreckage
floating just under the surface. This makes
it dangerous for boats to navigate in that
neighborhood. The wreck is lying in Can-
adian waters, and until the return of Colonel
Kingman from the South it will be impos-
sible to say what will be done with her.
If there were no conditions to interrupt
the coal movement to Fort William and
Port Arthur this season, all records of re-
ceipts here would be broken. Since the
opening of navigation fourteen cargoes, to-
taling 97,000 tons, had been received up to a
recent date. The demands of the rapidly
growing Canadian West have made it neces-
sary for the Canadian Pacific to erect at
Port Arthur a new 3,000-ton-a-day dock.
More steel is expected to arrive than during
any previous season. Before the close of
navigation 300,000 tons of rails will be de-
livered to the Grand Trunk Pacific docks,
125,000 to the Canadian Pacific and 30,000
tons to the Canadian Northern.
The ore movement from the head of Lake
Superior for the month of April was a
record-breaker, 984,351 gross tons, as com-
pared with 875,195 tons for April a year ago.
The Duluth & Iron Range shipped 383,643
tons, as compared with 263,842 tons, and
the Great Northern 210,000, as compared
with 290,000 tons in the same period a year
ago. The Great Northern did not ship as
much as in April a year ago, but the total
for the head of the Lakes docks — Two Har-
bors, Duluth and Superior — shows a large
increase over a year ago. The Duluth, Mis-
sabe & Northern road delivered 55,000 tons
of ore to its docks on April 30, which is a
record movement for any ore road for any
day in April.
The War Department, after an examina-
tion of the plans of the Lake Shore Railway
for the improvement of the harbor of Ash-
tabula, declined to grant a permit for the
work. The improvements projected are 01
the most extensive character and are made
necessary by the continued development of
Lake trade. Harvey D. Goulder therefore
went to Washington this week and urged
the War Department to approve the plans
after certain modifications had been made.
This has now been done and a permit ex-
tended to the railway company. The plans,
as modified, contemplate leaving a 300-foot
gap between the east arm of the Ashtabula
breakwater and the end of the projected new
docks. In addition, the railroad company
agrees to extend the breakwater if it is
found that the docks restrict the basin. Mr.
Goulder secured an expression from the
River and Harbor Committee favoring the
contemplated improvements and this greatly
influenced the War Department in granting
the necessary permit.
The aggregate number of tons earried through
the Sault Canal by the steamer Wolvin last year
is the largest carried by any vessel through that
gateway, according to the annual statistical re-
port of Colonel C. E. L. B. Davis, United States
engineer. Two of the notable individual trip
records made were those of the steamer E. II.
Gary, which took a cargo of 12,368 tons, and the
barge John Smeaton, which carried one cargo of
9148 tons. The Wolvin's aggregate cargoes
figured up to 174.410 tons during the season.
It is reported that Captain John McCarthy has
purchased hotel property at Sandwich and will
forsake the bridge to become a boniface. He is
well known on the Lakes, having sailed for many
years. Early in his career he was in the tug
Swain. Last year he commanded the steamer
Bay City, which will go to the Atlantic Coast be-
fore long

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
LABRADOR A PEACEFUL LAND.
William MacGregor, Governor of
Newfoundland, of which Province Labrador
ias recently issued a report
of a scientific and official visit which he
made to that remote seaboard last summer,
and among other aspects of the subject he
- especially of the absence of crime in
that region.
Labrador. Sir William says, has a resident
population of 10,000, of whom 3.500 are
white, settled along its south coast. Many
of the Indians are half-breeds, and there are
3,000 Eski • tned along the northern
water from. In addition it is visited each
summer 1>\ some 20,000 Newfoundlanders,
who engage in fishing, which is the chief
pursuit of these people. Yet there is no
court nor jail, magistrate nor policeman,
nor any other officer of the law on this 1,000
miles of seaboard, where all these people are
wresting a subsistence from the ocean. For
thirty-three years there has been no session
of court held, and in fifty years the only
criminal charge which is recorded is that
against an Eskimo whose jealousy was
aroused against a rival in his wife's affec-
tion, and who shot the man as he walked
with her. Forty years ago there was a cir-
cuit court sent there every summer, but as
it found nothing to do it was abolished. In
the past Labrador was a famous pirate
stronghold and required a French squadron
to reduce it. Unusual attention has been
called to Labrador within the last year, and
this may lead to a change. When any seri-
ous charge is made now a magistrate is scut
l'mm Newfoundland to attend to it.
GOLD OF ALASKA AND AUSTRALIA.
TIh- Uaska Club, of Seattle Wash., a
recognized authority on the subject, esti-
mates that the gold output of Alaska for the
year [906 will exceed $24,000,000 and that
of Dawson and Yukon territory at $8,000,-
000 more, making a grand total of $32,140.-
000, or an excess of SS,200,ooo over the yield
for [905. The annual output of Dawson
and Yukon does not vary much from year
to year, the increase being in Alaska proper.
The increase in the gold supply has a
bearing on prices and interest rates. G. B.
Roberts, Director of the Mint, estimates that
lor the next twenty years the gold produc-
tion of the world will average $400,000,000,
making a total of $8,000,000,000. Allowing
for an absorption of 25 per cent for use in
the arts and sciences there will remain $6,-
000,000,000 of new gold accumulated within
the next twenty years, which will more than
double the world's present stock and make
a grand total of nearly $1 2,000,000,000.
Preliminary records of the gold yield of
Australia for 1905 place it at $88,000,000.
Up to HJ03 the gold yield of Australia in-
creased rapidly, but it has since been some-
what reduced, the falling off last year as
compared with 1903 amounted to $3,500,000.
GERMANY'S DRINK BILL.
According to published statistics each in-
habitant of Germany consumed yearly, dur-
ing 1900-1904, 6l/2 quarts of wine, 129^
quarts of beer, and 9 quarts of brandy. The
per capita cost was $11.20, including chil-
dren and women. The average for male
citizens over 15 years would be $37.36. For
a population of 60.000,000 persons the liquor
expenditure figures out at $672,588,000. For
public schools the Empire spent, in 1904,
the sum of $99,722,000; for working people's
insurance. $104,244,000, and for the army
and navy, $203,847,000. All these great pub-
lic enterprises cost the German nation less
than two-thirds of their alcoholic drink
bill.
LABOR IN GERMANY.
More and more are the industrial laborers
and operatives of Germany becoming firmly
organized into unions. The largest body is
that of the so-called "Free Labor Union,"
chiefly consisting of social-democrats, and
numbering 887,698 members on January 1.
[904, The "Hirsch-Dunker" labor unions
embrace t i o. _• 1 5 members. The "organized"
Christian labor unions contained 100,053
members, while the "independent" Christian
labor unions numbered 68,724 members.
These organizations collected in annual
dues more than $4,285,000, and had accumu-
lated funds to the extent of over $4,000,000.
I >ne problem brought before the national
legislature is that of granting to these vast
bodies some form of corporate existence.
Not that the common-law rules governing
voluntary associations do not substantially
obtain here, but there is an unpleasant per-
sonal liability attached to all membership in
these unincorporated societies, and the or-
ganizations at present lack the power of
acquiring realty. of holding mortgages on real
estate, or of instituting and defending ac-
tions in the name of the associations. On
the other hand, almost any form of legal
entity accomplished by any act of incorpora-
tion would be accomplished by the danger
of governmental supervision, the control of
its corporate acts, and liability in case of
damage tractable to the declaration of
strikes, etc. Apprently some form of
existence will be granted the unions if only
they can unite upon a plan satisfactory to
them all. Germany has gone so far in con-
ceiving legislation in sociological directions
that it will hardly balk at this additional
step.
Another of the demands which form the
subject of agitation is aimed at the reduc-
tion of hours of labor, especially for female
operatives. A large number of the female
operatives are mothers.
One of the saddest impressions gathered
in a tour of the industrial districts is caused
1>\ the abnormal number of crippled and
emaciated children. Rachitis has done its
deadly work everywhere. Malformations
constantly meet the eye in daily walks, and
nowhere is the dreadful affliction of hip dis-
location so prevalent as here. Authorities
do not fully agree as to the true causes of
this deplorable condition, but so much is as-
sured, that any child whose mother spends
eleven hours of each week day at machine
work, both before and after its birth, is seri-
ously handicapped in its chances for the
development of a healthy physique. Neither
are conditions in that respect improved by
the fact that in this district at least some
30 per cent of births are illegitimate.
Flu- German Government has given permis-
to import provisionally 2,000 Chinese for
employment in railway construction in German
\frica. The first steps have already been
taken, but from six to eight months must
elapse before the first transport can arrive at
Dar-as-Salaam.

JAPAN'S MERCHANT MARINE.
The year 1905 was to the Mitsu Bishi
Dockyard and Engine Works at Nagasaki
very prosperous, the increased work in
building and docking of ships necessitating
extension of facilities of the plant and the
employment of over 7,000 workmen daily
throughout the year. The dock can easily
accommodate the largest of war and mer-
chant vessels, and for their increasing busi-
ness at their branch at Kobe a floating dock
was built and launched as an entirety and
towed to that port. The contracts made
during the year for the building of merchant
vessels include two ships each of 13,500
tons gross for the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, to
run on their San Francisco-Hongkong line,
which will be fitted with turbine engines.
This company retains a buyer in London
and another in Glasgow, who make, oc-
casionally, visits to the United States, but
when giving orders, even for American
goods, place them in Great Britain. The
Mitsu Bishi Dockyard and Engine Works
are the most extensive and notable works of
this character in Asia. They are thoroughly
progressive and up-to-date. Included in the
work of construction during 1905 was that
of six steel steamships, with a gross aggre-
gate tonnage of 13,q8<) tons and 14,193
horsepower. The work in hand at the end
of the year consisted of eight steel vessels,
with a total gross tonnage of 40,949 tons,
exclusive of vessels for the Japanese navy.
CANADA'S FISHERIES.
The annual report of the fisheries branch
of the Department of Marine and Fisheries,
of Canada, which has just been issued, con-
tains merely a very general reference to the
fisheries' of the past season, the returns from
which promise to equal, if not exceed, the
highest aggregate in the history of the in-
dustry. The total value of the fish products
of Canada in 1904 was $23,516,0000. With
one exception, in Igoi, when a phenomenal
catch of salmon in British Columbia swelled
the total value of that year's fisheries beyond
$25,000,000, this is the largest aggregate on
record.
The following statement shows the values
of the principal commercial fish (above
$100,000) for the year 1904: Salmon, $3,-
869,545; lobsters, $3,691,151; cod, $3,643,-
654; herring, $2,156,489; whitefish, $1,058,-
812; sardines, $790,441; halibut, $784,564;
trout, $782,140; mackerel, $750,397; haddock,
$638,937; pickerel, $638,567; smelts, $447,"
579; hake, $363,134; pike ,$252,853.
From the year 1869 to 1004, both inclu-
sive, the five principal food fishes have yield-
ed the following values: Cod, $132,622,167;
salmon, $81,943,517; lobsters, $75,961,628;
herring, $70,262,084; mackerel, $45,089,021.
During 1904 no less than 77,345 men were
engaged in the Canadian fisheries, not in-
cluding the numerous employes in the lob-
ster industry.
RUBBER PRODUCTION.
It is estimated by two French experts,
MM. Brenier and Claverie, that the total
annual production of rubber throughout
the world is 57,000 tons. Of this total 55
per cent came from South America and Af-
rica. The French possessions on the west
coast of Africa produce 7,000 tons, and the
French Kongo 3,000 tons, while the output
of the Belgian Kongo does not exceed
6,000 tons. The consumption of rubber by
the principal countries of the world in 1904
was as follows : The United States, 26,470
tons; Germany, 12,800 tons; Great Britain,
10,000 tons; France, 4,130 tons; Austria-
Hungary, 1,320 tons; Holland, 1,218 tons;
Belgium, 748 tons ; and Italy 588 tons.
The exports from Brazil for 1905
amounted to $209,000,000, an increase of
over $17,000,000 over 1904. The clearances
of coffee were 796,068 bags more than for
1904, but 2,106,635 bags less than for 1903.
The rubber shipments from Brazil for the
year 1905 were valued at $64,588,406, the
average price per long ton being $2,044 f°r
the 31,600 tons exported. The rubber ex-
ports and per ton value have both been
steadily advancing since 1902, when they
amounted to $34,186,564 and $1,241 re-
spectively.
YUKON RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
From being a "graveyard of navigators"
the Upper Yukon River has become prac-
tically as safe as a canal. During the open
season steamers, barges, scows, canoes in
great numbers ply its waters, and accidents
of any description are extremely rare. The
Yukon River forms a convenient highway
through the central portions of the great
Northwest. Its traffic is divided between
the White Pass and Yukon route (railroad
and steamers) from Skagway to Dawson,
and the American route from Seattle to
Dawson via St. Michael. Generally speak-
ing, Yukon Territory and the Forty Mile
district in Alaska are served by the Canadian
route, while the American route supplies
the wants of the lower river points, includ-
ing the Tanana, Koyukuk, and Rampart
mining districts. Fairbanks alone, during
the present winter, required as large stores
of provisions as Dawson.
In its solicitude for the welfare of Yukon
Territory the Canadian Government has an-
nually voted grants, not only for the con-
struction and maintenance of roads and
trails — about $200,000 for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1905, or $1,386,400 alto-
gether from 1899 to January 21, 1906 — but
also for the improvement of the Yukon
River and its tributaries. The programme
for the current year provides for an expend-
iture of $15,000 to be distributed as fol-
lows : $8,000 for rock ■ blasting at Hell's
Gate, $1,500 for the Fortymile River, $3,000
for the upper Yukon reaches, including Thir-
tvmile River, and $4,000 not yet placed.
Since the opening up of the country, a few
years ago, Canada has appropriated about
$175,000 for Yukon River improvements. On
the American side of the line, in Alaska, im-
provements have not even started. The
Yukon Flats are still there to endanger and
retard American shipping, and so are the
obstructions at the mouth of the Yukon,
which were fully described and explained to
the Senatorial subcommittee which person-
ally, in 1903, investigated conditions in
Alaska. It should be thoroughly under-
stood, in this relation, that transportation is
the chief problem in this wonderful north-
land. It is the paramount question in the de-
velopment of Alaska.
Strong measures against tuberculosis have
been taken by the local government board of
Scotland. It is put in the class of infectious
diseases, and a campaign of disinfection is in
augurated.
HARBOR OF HAVRE.
Havre is the most important port of France
in regard to commercial relations with the
United States, more than 70 per cent of the
trade between the two countries passing
through that city. The total trade of Havre
for the calendar year 1905 aggregated $404,-
326,315, viz: Imports, $240,615,802; exports,
$163, 710,, 513. The imports of merchandise
from the United States amounted to 377,480
tons, of which cotton represented 146,022
tons ; cereals, 30,712 tons ; copper, 37,867 tons ;
cabinet wood, 29,057 tons ; oil cake, 14,434
tons, and mineral oil, 11,957 tons- The quan-
tity of goods exported from Havre to the
United States was 42,795 tons. The principal
articles of export to the United States were:
Millinery goods, 5,995 tons ; copper, 2,695
tons ; skins, 2,964 tons ; glassware and pottery,
3,961 tons, and dyewood extracts, 2,402 tons.
Havre is the largest coffee market of the
world, the imports in 1904 reaching 109,989
tons. The total amount of cotton imported into
Havre was 157,986 tons; dyewoods, 75,649
tons; cereals, 68,453 tons; lard, 1,168 tons;
pork, 724 tons; and coal, 735,140 tons. The
importation of hides into Havre numbered
1,104,578, of which Argentina furnished 304,-
588 and Brazil 283,000. The United States'
share was 47,824. The imports of dried and
evaporated fruits were 134,402 tons. The mar-
ket at the close of the year was greatly over-
stocked, there being on hand 2,204,500 pounds
of dried fruits.
The dispute between foreign and Chinese
governmental interests in Fukien Province
over a monopoly of the camphor business
of the province granted a Japanese company
in 1903 has finally been ended by the pay-
ment to the company of a considerable sum
of money by the Provincial government. The
trade in camphor in the Province is again
open to the world ,and, while there is no
great boom in the business, it is probable
there will be a revival in the camphor-mak-
ing industry in the southern portion of the
Province at once.
Some years ago the German Government
spent a large sum of money in building ex-
tensive stone docks at Strassburg, but on
account of the Rhine not being navigable
more than eight months in the year, the
hopes of the place becoming an extensive
shipping point were not realized. It is pro-
posed now to deepen the channel of the
river so as to permit navigation the entire
year, the city of Strassburg contributing
$238,000 as its share of the expenses.
The threatened exclusion of the Chinese
from the Transvaal by the British Govern-
ment, which has already stopped any fur-
ther importation of them, opens the door to
Indian immigration into that colony. There
were negotiations in progress for Indian la-
borers before the Chinese were imported.
but Lord Curzon insisted on greater rights
for the Indian than were accorded the Chi-
nese and that resulted in breaking off the
negotiations.
The Brazilian Government has appropri-
ated $80,000 for carrying out surveys and
other works in order to develop the coal
mines of that country. The matter is in
charge of the Ministry of Industry, Ways
of Communication, and Public Works, at
Rio Janeiro.

A Reproof. — One day a little boy
came to school 'with very dirty hands
and the teacher said to him:

"I wouldn't say anything," was the

His Lucid Answer. — One day as
Pat halted at the top of the river-
bank, a man famous for his inquisi-

"How long have you hauled water

"Tin years, sor."
"Ah! How many loads do you take
in a day?"
"From tin to fifteen, sor."
"Ah, yes! Now I have a problem

Longworth and Longfellow. — The

It was shortly before his marriage
to Alice Roosevelt that Congressman
Longworth was quite unexpectedly
presented, at a large reception, to
Samuel Longfellow, a brother of the
poet. Now, Longworth, be it remem-
bered, is nothing if not a modest man,
and he was just then in a somewhat
rattled condition because of all the
notoriety showered upon him by a
gratuitous daily press.
He did not know what to say, and
so he said only:
"Our names are almost similar.
aren't they?"
Mr. Longfellow smiled kindly.
"Yes," he quickly quoted; "'worth

fellow.' '
How the Boy Fooled Them. — There
is a good story told of a man who
has become a most successful mer-
chant. A few years ago he was em-
ployed as an office boy and messenger
for a large firm. He was sent to col-
lect an account from a firm which
was considered very "shaky," and was
told to get the money at all hazards.
The debtors gave the lad a check for
$250. He went to the bank at once
to cash it, and was told by the cashier
that there was not enough funds in
to meet it.
"How much short?" asked the lad.
"Seven dollars," was the answer.
It lacked but a minute or two of
the time for the bank to close. The
boy felt in his pockets, took out $7,
and pushing it through the window,
and said, "Put that to the credit of
Blank & Co."
The cashier did so, whereupon the
boy presented the check and got the
money. Blank & Co. failed the next
day. — Bamberg Herald.
The Joker Joked. — Ex-Delegate
Rodney, of New Mexico, tells this
story in Washington.
In a Southwestern town two friends
arranged a plan to "take in tender-
feet." One would boast before stran-
gers, flourish his revolver and say:
"See that man down the street
smokin' a cigar? I'll shoot that cigar
in two."
Crack! Back would come the yell,
"Hyar, Bill, you stop spoilin' my
cigars!" The stranger was usually
duly impressed. But one day a ten-
derfoot demurred. "I'll bet you $10
Made the Bear Work.— Bill Win-
ters is one of the heroes who use their
wit to save their strength. During
a camping trip in the Maine woods
Bill was easily the laziest man in the
party.
Finally his exasperated comrades
told him that if he did not kill some-
thing besides time they would pack
him off home.
The next morning Bill borrowed a
rifle and went off up the mountain.
Two hours later the men in camp
saw Bill running down again as fast
as he could come, and close behind
him was a bear. The men watched
the chase with loaded rifles ready.
On reaching camp Bill turned and
shot the bear
When the men could stop laughing
one of them said, "Bill, what on earth
possessed you to run that distance
with the bear so close, when you
might have killed him on the hill and
saved your breath ?"
Bill smiled slowly. What's the use
of killing a bear in the mountains and
lugging him in when you can run
him in?" he asked. — Boston Herald.

PRESSING NEEDS OF THE HOUR.
AS A RESULT of the calamitous events of
April icS and several following days civil
government in San Francisco was sus-
pended and arbitrary authority either as-
sumed by, or vested in, certain officials, Munici-
pal. State and Federal. This condition has been
continued and still exists at the present date.
The circumstances under which this extraordi-
nary condition was created afford the sole and
sufficient justification thereof. Therefore, the
continuance of this condition can only be neces-
sitated or justified by the continuance of the orig-
inal circumstances. To the extent that these
circumstances have already ceased, or shall here-
after cease, to exist, the justification of arbitrary
government by proclamation, issued by any au-
thority, Municipal, State or Federal, must also
cease.
The demands of humanity and public safety
have now been met in a degree sufficient to war-
rant the confidence of the public in its own power
to resume full control of its domestic affairs. The
fear of further calamity, and with it the danger
of public panic, have passed. There exists no
reason to believe that the courage and mental
poise of our citizens, so fully and admirably dem-
onstrated, both in private and official capacity,
during the recent severe ordeal, will hereafter
be found lacking for the duties of self-govern-
ment.
The present system of government by procla-
mation, however necessary and justifiable in the
circumstances of its creation, and however will-
ingly and cheerfully respected by the people dur-
ing the existence of those circumstances, con-
tains an element of danger which it is our duty
to recognize and obviate. The injunctions now
imposed upon the people in matters affecting their
private lives must ultimately become intolerable.
Public dissatisfaction, in the absence of a civil
government amenable to the public will, is the
forerunner of anarchy. It is essential, therefore,
that the regularly constituted authorities of the
city shall at once resume and exercise all the
functions vested in them, respectively, by the
laws of the city and State. Accordingly we rec-
ommend:
1. — Immediate resumption of civil government,
in full compliance with the Charter and State
laws, and the withdrawal, except as otherwise re-
quested by authority of the Board of Supervisors,
of State and Federal troops.
The condition of the homeless citizens of San
Francisco demands prompt and adequate action.
Many thousands of persons are now assembled
in camps, which, however well regulated, can not
but be a source of continually increasing discom-
fort and danger to health. The proper housing
of these sufferers is the first and most imperative
duty of the city. Every consideration of human-
ity, health and public welfare combines to dictate
the public duty in this regard. The homeless
must be provided with proper living accommoda-
tions. Unless this be done much sickness and
many deaths will ensue, for which the city, not
the elements, will be responsib'e. Aside from the
duty owing to those stricken by the loss of their
homes and effects, there exists a consideration of
the city's future welfare which can not be over-
looked if we would retain the advantage of local
pride fir home association in the great
task of reconstruction. The increasing
discomfort and danger of camp life will
be accompanied by an increasing exodus of
the persons thus situated. In course of time other.
persons may come to fill the places thus vacated,
hut the city can ill afford at this moment to lose
those who by reason of long residence — accentu-
ated even by their recent sufferings — have
acquired a sense of devotion which will, if prop-
erly cultivated, materialize to the advantage of our
work in the future. In this regard we recommend:
2. — That the city grant the temporary use of its
parks and other vacant public property to the
homeless for the purpose of erecting homes
thereon, and occupancy of same at the lowest
possible rent, or without rent at all, having due
regard to the public interests.
In view of the large number of wooden build-
ings now being erected in the down-town section
of the city, and the consequent danger from fire,
and for other obvious reasons, we recommend:
3. — Immediate construction of a salt-water
pumping plant, with distributing reservoirs at the
various points of vantage throughout the city, and
the purchase of all necessary equipment for the
most efficient use of the water supply thus pro-
vided.
In order that pedestrian travel throughout the
city may be resumed with the least possible delay
and inconvenience and the city be thus made hab-
itable for residence and business purposes, we
recommend:
4. — Removal by the city of such debris as still
remains on the streets and sidewalks after the lapse
of a certain period (say sixty days), the cost to be
charged against the real estates from which such
debris has fallen.
To further facilitate the cleaning of the city and
the health and comfort of the people, we recom-
mend :
5. — The resumption of all measures for street-
cleaning and removal of garbage, and the enlarge-
ment of such measures so as to provide for effect-
ual dust-laying throughout the burned district.
In order that the granting of temporary privi-
leges, made necessary by present conditions, may
not hereafter be construed as vesting permanent
rights in the grantees, we recommend:
6. — Strict limitation as to time and other con-
ditions of all special permits granted to public-
service corporations, or individuals, such permits
in no instance to be construed as conferring
vested rights, to the prejudice of the city's prior
rights of control over all public functions and
public property. But we declare that we are op-
posed to the ordinance now pending before the
Board of Supervisors, granting to the United
Railroads of San Francisco the right to construct
and maintain the overhead trolley system, where
not now permitted by law, during the remaining
term of their franchises; and we urge that said
ordinance be not adopted.
We believe that recent events, so far from in-
dicating any impracticability in the principle of
municipal ownership or in any of the plans al-
readj adopted by the city in that connection, have
but confirmed the wisdom and necessity of these
plans We therefore recommend:
7. — Construction, at the earliest possible date,
of the Geary street railroad, in accordance with
the plans already adopted and the contract al-
ready awarded.
We believe that at present, more than at any
time in the past, there exists a need of new
sewers, hospital anil school-houses, and we there-
fore recommend:
8. — The construction of sewers, hospital and
school-houses, as nearly as possible, in accord-
ance with the plans already adopted by the city.
In order that these objects may be attained
with the least possible delay we recommend:
9. — The diversion of such moneys now in the
city treasury as may be spared from the funds
allotted to other purposes without injury to any
necessary branch of the public service, and the
passage of such legislation, by the city or State,
as may be necessary to this end.
San Francisco is now confronted by a great
opportunity and a great danger, the greatest in
each instance that has ever occurred in the his-
tory of any city. The disaster of April 18 — in
itself the greatest calamity that has ever befallen
any community — by destroying old things, has
paved the way for new. It should be the care of
our people to see that the new city shall be
equipped with new appliances for health, comfort
and safety, not merely with old appliances re-
created. Considerations of economy and speedy
construction, while in themselves important,
should be made secondary to the consideration of
permanent value. Shortsighted economy to-day
may prove to be the grossest extravagance in the
future. The debt that must necessarily be as-
sumed in the work of rebui'ding the city, howevei
that work be undertaken, must inevitably fall
very largely upon our posterity. Let us, then,
take care that that debt shall be assumed only for
those things that are likely to prove valuable to
those who in the future must use and pay for
them. While we extol the '"spirit of '49," let us
take care that our own descendants shall have no
cause to execrate the spirit of 1906. Let us start
right in the unparalleled task and unprecedented
opportunity that lies before us!
Concerning the other aspect of the situation,
ordinary experience and discretion, mixed with
no desire to be hypercritical or ungenerous, com-
pel us to recognize the danger that inheres in the
present state of comparative helplessness. By the
indiscriminate acceptance of aid — aid that is
greatly needed and readily offered upon terms
which at the moment appear to be above any
suspicion of ulterior motive — the city may quite
conceivably place itself under obligations which
afterward will become extremely onerous, if not
unbearable. Great care in the matter of accepting
extraneous aid, at the same time cultivating to the
highest point our civic resources of individual and
collective self-dependence, should be the desider
atum of all far-seeing and public-spirited citizens
This course may involve some delay in the real:
tion of our hopes for a greater and more beautiful
city, but it will assuredly conserve that highest
aim of mankind, independence.
The new San Francisco should he better than
the old, better in all material respects, hut chiefly
because it will he a better place of habitation lor
those who jive, move and have their being within
its gates. The new San Francisco should he a
better city, not SO much because of its better
buildings, as because of its freer men; not SO
much because of its broader thoroughfares as
because of its nobler women; not so much bi
cause of us more beautiful aspects as because of
the more hopeful future which its children shall
inherit. Only thus can the new city hope to sur-
pass the old. The new San Francisco should be a
free, self-governed ami self-owned city. To this
end every public-spirited citizen should dedicate
his thoughts and his labors

possibl butors to the support .of fam-
ilies.
1 If the more poorly paid trades whose mem-
bers probably had families living in the burnt
neighborhood, we have first the marine work-
ers, ft is estimated by an officer of the Sailors'
Union that of the 4,500 members of this union,
probabh a tl ousand made their homes in San
Francisco, and not less than 500 had families
in the burned district. These sailors are Scan-
dinavians or Irish. Nearly all the 3,000 mem-
bers of the longshoremen's unions were burned
out, and probably a large percentage of these
indites dependent on them. This is also
of the 3,500 members of the teamsters'
The cooks, waiters, barbers and other
personal service trades, have in their respective
I) [0,000 members. There
ween 3,000 and 4,000 members of the
of workers in the street car service.
lolders, boilermakers, machinists, and
other iron workers number about u.ooo. while
the building trades claim 20,000 members.
The printing trades unions have a membership
of about 1,200.
In addition to members of the unions, there
wa.'s an army of men and women working as
clerks, stenographers, book keepers and porters
in the mercantile establishments. The
larger of tl mbined the manufacture
ing with the distribution of their goo
example, furniture stores which maintained
upholstery establishments. To these must be
added manufacturing jewelers, goldsmiths and
silversmiths, art glass factories, boot and shoe
factories, large wholesale importers of spices
coffee who prepared their g is for the
marl et, rope and cordage factories, and count-
ither minor industries.
If the wla -Ies..],- plans of reconstruction are
carried out, it is probable that there will 1
ployment for a large percentage of the p
now in San Francisco, though many may have
apt temporarily, work to which they are
unaccustomed. The teamsters and members
of the building trades will undoubtedly have
more than they can do. If the great plat
the- Fulton .and Risdon Iron Works and the
n Iron Works are spared, they will have
ent extra work to absorb some of the
machinists and molders thrown out. Many of
the mercantile establishment 10 resume
business at once, so that a part of the clerks and
office employes will soon be at work. But when
the- factories decide- to resume business, there
must be delay before they can take on their old
force-. They must not only provide plai
work but new machinery must be brought
from a distance. However, there are factories
ami buildings suitable for factories outside
the burned district, and wherever possible- te-m-
porary arrangements will lie) doubt be made
such as should enable- some to Lit to work at
once. At this writing the- re-employment of the
thousands of homeless San h'rancisco wage*
workers would seem to depend entirely on the
ability of San Francisco business men
cure- the necessarj capital to carry out the
courageous policy of re-construction that
die desire of every employer who has yet
been heard from. The San Francisco banks
must first meet the demands of their destitute
no's, if eastern capitalists can be- in-

SEIZURE OF AMERICAN BOATS.

(Contributed by the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Unions) ^
On the Atlantic Coast
LOVING CUP PRESENTED. MISCELLANEOUS.
A mail report concerning the seizure of
American fishing vessels off the Yucatan
coast by a Mexican gunboat has been re-
ceived by the State Department from Ed-
ward Thompson, Consul at I'rogreso, where
the vessels were taken. The report indi-
cates that more vessels were seized than
were reported by press dispatches. In sub-
stance he says :
"( hi the evening of April 18 the American
fishing smacks Silas Stearns, Malfidano,
Master, of Pensacola, and D. L. Taften,
Lunbard, master, of Mobile, were captured
by the Mexican gunboat Vera Cruz, off the
Alacranez Reef, northeast coast of Yuca-
tan, charged with illegal fishing in Mexican
waters. The crews were taken with the
seized vessels and a large lot of fish to Pro-
gresi i.
The crews were taken lo the jail, where-
they were held without communication with
any one, according to the Mexican law. until
the district Judge had taken the depositions.
As soon as they were at liberty 1 took
charge of them, saw that they were cared
for and icd. Meanwhile I had duly advised
the American Minister at Mexico and am
now engaged in ascertaining all possible de-
tails, noting names and addresses of the
witnesses, etc., in case the cases are to be
appealed and carried to Washington.
The captains of the two vessels are sure
they were beyond the legal limit, and the
passengers on a Norwegian steamship ocn-
firm this statement, at least as lo the Stearns.
The captains slate that they have keen fish-
ing in a like manner in these waters for nearly
ten years."
Under date of April 22 the Consul reported
that a third vessel, the schooner Lizzie B.
Adams, Charles H. Spurling, master, of
Galveston, Tex., had been seized. The cap-
tain said he was absolutely certain that his
vessel was clearly outside of the legal limits.
REMOVAL OF THE BERMUDA.
The old filibustering steamer Bermuda,
which has keen a menace to navigation along
the Delaware River for six years, owing to
the inability of wreckers to float her, will
now he demolished by dynamite or other-
wise. Yansant & Boehm have received the
contract on behalf of the American Surety
Company, bondsmen for Louis Darling, who
had the original contract to remove the
wreck and who was forced into bankruptcy.
The vessel lies off Callowhill street wharf,
the keel being fifty-two feet below the sur-
face of the water. Divers recently descended
to the hull and made preparations for its
'demolition. The wreckers, under the con
tract, are required to remove the obstruc-
tion until a depth of thirty-five feet of water
exists at mean low tide. Darling lost con-
siderable money in his attempt to remove
the wreck and abandoned it when the work
was about half completed.
The old boarding boat Louis Pasteur, which i
which was used for years b) the quarantine
physicians at Reedy Island, has keen sold to
Mr. Bethel, of Philadelphia, Pa.
The silver cup given by the enlisted men
of the British second cruiser squadron, un-
der the command of Prince Louis of I'.at-
tenberg, to the enlisted men of the United
States Atlantic licet, was received on May
18 on board the flagship Maine by Rear-Ad-
miral Evans and staff officers and crew of
the Maine, and a committee of three enlisted
men from each of the warships Maine. Mis-
souri, Kentucky, Kearsargc, West Virginia,
Maryland and Yankton; now lying in the
North River. .Standing three feet high, the
cup is beautifully engraved, and will be
made a yearly racing trophy, to be held by
the best tvvelvc-oared-koat crew in the At-
lantic licet.
'Po the enlisted men of ike British cruiser
squadron the following letter of acceptance
was sent through Prince Louis, Rear-Ad-
miral :
"We, the enlisted men of the United
States Atlantic fleet, gratefully acknowdedge
receipt of the loving cup presented by the
enlisted men of I lis Majesty's cruiser squad-
ron. This token of good will and friend-
ship is deeply appreciated and will always
he remembered ky the men of the United
States Navy."
ORIGIN OF LLOYD'S.
Two centuries ago a man who had a cargo
to send to the Mediterranean contrived to
get rid of some of the risk by inducing a
friend to take an interest with him, sav s
the Mexican Herald. It was necessary to
write out a statement of contract to which
the guarantors subscribed ; this was the first
underwriting. These two men happened to
be frequenters of Lloyd's coffee house in
London, which, was a favorite place for the
merchants of the town to gather to discuss
business or to gossip.
Others immediately saw the advantage
of the scheme which their colleagues had
devised, and on the next voyage the risk
w.-'s parceled out among a large number of
the patrons of the coffee house. Out of
this small beginning has grown the great
European maritime agency, still bearing the
name of the humble coffee house proprietor,
and which not only writes risks on vessels,
but rates them and publishes their arrivals
at every port the world over, no matter
how small or how remotely situated.
Ss a result of the work being done on
Schooner Ledge, Delaware River, by the
Government rock drill General John New-
ton, the blasting has broken the rock into
small pieces and forced it Up so that in many
places there is now only twenty-two feet of
water at low tide. As soon as the Govern-
ment dredge Nell (kite can be spared the
blasted rock will be removed to a depth ol
thirty feet at mean low water Until such
notification has keen sent out ky the United
States Engineer's office all masters and pi
lots of vessels are notified that it will noi be
safe for vessels drawing oyer twent) feel to
pass over Schooner Ledge between a poim
330 del easl of the same range from a point
opposite the Seaboard Company's wharf to
the Upper end of Illinois Rock.
A dangerous derelict, drifting in the track
of coastwise vessels, was recently reported to
the Hydrographic < Mfice, at Philadelphia, Pa.,
by Captain Abrahamson, of the Norwegian
steamer ( lie Pull, which arrived at Norfolk
from Chester. The derelict is a schooner, sup-
d to he the Louise Hastings. Captain Ab-
rahamson was within twenty miles south by
east of Cape Henry, Va., when he sighted the
water. The masts were hanging over the
sides of die vessel and it was observed that
the sails had keen patched. There was no name
on the schooner by which she might be .identi-
fied, kul from previous reports from other
vessels is kelieved to be the Hastings. Captain
Abrahamson declared it is one of the most
dangerous derelicts that has keen in the path
oi coastwise navigation for some time. The
chooner is supposed to have keen the victim
of one of the fierce Storms of last winter. The
fate of the crew is unknown.
Extreme caution is being exercised by mas-
ters of transatlantic liners when in the vicin-
ity of the ('.rand Ranks, owing to the pres-
ence of numerous icebergs and field ice. The
Allan liner Carthaginian, from Glasgow, ar-
rived at Philadelphia, Pa., recently and re-
ported that on April 2j, when 200 miles north-
east of St. John, several bergs and much field
ice were sighted. One of the bergs was 250
feel high. Captain Hamilton said the ice was
scattered over the ocean as far as the eve could
see. A heavy fog enveloped the floating field
and made navigation extremely hazardous.
'1 he loss recently of the British steamer Anglo-
Peruvian, .by collision with an iceberg has
caused masters to redouble their vigilance
when getting near the Grand Ranks, as at tins
season of the year bergs are plentiful in that
vicinity.
The steamers Defiance and George H. Stout,
which were sold by Peter Hagen, of Philadel-
phia, Pa., lo George R. Dilkes, for the Florida
East Coast Railway Company, cleared recently
for Miami. Fla. The boats were for a num-
ber of years engaged in the service between
Philadelphia and Newberne. The vessels will
be used in the transportation of supplies for the
new railroad building b_\ Henry M. Flagler,
over the Florida Keys from Key West to con-
nect with his present road, the Florida ' East
Coast Railway, now in operation from Jack-
sonville, via St. Augustine and Palm Beach,. to
kahia I londa, Ida.
Pennsylvania and Delaware pilots are ai
odds over the action of tke former in in-
sisting that several vacancies for appren-
tices in the Pennsylvania branch should he
immediately Idled. The pilots declare the
number of apprentices now in the service is
sufficient, and they have taken a stand
against an increase. As the Delawareans
in a majority, it is kelieved tke vacancies
will remain unfilled, for the present at least.

•FIRST THINGS FIRST.'
The statement and recommendations pub-
lished on page 1 of this issue were adopted at
a meeting composed of well-known and pro-
gressive citizens, held in San Francisco on
May 19: That the views ex]
the sentiments of a verj large body oi the
public is proved by the reception acco
them mi all hands; thai the men and wi
who considered and issued these views are
entitled t( > recognition as representative citi-
zens is proved b} their record of unselfish and
intelligent public service.
Regardless of tl however; these
recommendations must appeal to the com-
munity by virtue of their own merit. The
subjects dealt with are practical and
and should be considered before other and
more general plans are undertaken. The rule
of "first things first" should determine all
action upon the numerous pro]
hereafter made for the conduct of the city's
busii
There can be no question as to the first
step to Jie taken for the rest
5, which is tlie resumption of civil
government. San Francisco at present is a
city without government, or rather with sev-
eral distinct and incompatible form
eminent. Since April 18 I ral, State
and municipal autl have acted
jointly, which, translated into plain terms,
means that the Federal authorities have
itrol. Tl whether mar-
tial law was ever formally proclaimed m
open
doubt that thai prevailed, and still pre-!
vails, in effect. "Government lama-

thorities to their proper position of sub-

welfare.
Thi I recommendation referred to
with a question of the most vital import-
a life and death question, in fact. It is
jard the homeless families now

if all other plans for a "greater and grander
San Francisco"' must be held in abeyance.
The . i that the city can do in the
matter is to permit the temporary use of its

for this purpose. All qui

the need, of the hour is full; tit, and the
means of meeting it, at least in part, are avail-

described as "picnic camps." suggest a duty,

WORK, NOT CHARITY.
San Francisco, May 15, 19CJ6.
II "ii E. E. Schmitz, Mayor.
Francisco, California.
Dear Sir: T beg to advise yon thai we have
been able about 800 men in employ-
ment at the Red Cross Employment Bureau in
the Hearst Grammar School, Fillmore and Her-
mann streets. This is out of a registration of
about .3.500.
I am not at all satisfied that we have met with
proper ice at the hands of empl
contractors and others who believe they are in-
•d in the practical solution of San h'ran-
Many are hiring labor as they require it from
the long line of men entering the city, men who
are deserting their labor in the interior by the
the immediate reconstruction of
the city.
We make insistent pleas for orders for men,
with 1 ,s- Contractors are not alive t"
the importance of giving the first choice to San
isco's own people. Indeed, T am led I
Heve that some large employers are thought-
• ing upon cruelty.
In ..lie 1 1 firm that has given out the
.in that men could n"t be obtained, has
gns printed and posted about the city call-
r T.000 men. They advised a r
if this bureau to send the men. We sent
a number, who were told., "no work.' and "no
men needed." T made a personal investigation
and v, 1 by the linn that they did not
iny men; that the signs were old. Some
of th. were still out two days ago. and
men tramped wearily about the city in conse-
quence. This is imt honest.
I regret to advise you that some of the con-
's in and around the city are placing their
pay-day so far ahead as to render their work
valueless t.> nun with families, and then discount
their own paper in a vicious and extortionate
manner. These things were bad enough in
ordinary times; to-day they are brutal.
It is. in my opinion, of the utmost importance
that labor should be provided for the army of
te men of this city. I believe that you
can put the matter before those competent to
act in a way that will bring results.

mediately at work along this line will be of more

'lit a year hence.
Yours very truly,
W. V. STAFFORD,
Labor- Commissioner.
The representations made by Tabor Com-
ioner Stafford indicate a state of affairs
which portends great injury to the city, to say
nothing of injustice to the homeless and
work' isands now dependent upon out-
relief. The contractors referred to by
.Mr. Stafford — and these include some of the
lar icerns in the city— can not be re-
rded in any other light than as public ene-
mies. Notwithstanding the general agreement
that labor conditions should he maintained ,1^
ablished before the recent disaster, the
ms in question have openly broken faith and
are pursuing their nefarious practices with
characteristic disregard for decency and fair-
ling. The trade-unio: erning whose
attitude much needless fear was cxpn
have provi 1 1 as their word in standing
for the maintenance of former conditions.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
while other classes have shown a decided dis-
position to take advantage of the people's ne-
cessities hy putting on the screws in numer-
ous directions. The contractors are the worst
offenders in this respect ; the professions of
that class seem to have been intended solely
for publication. Possibly, when the contract-
ors acquiesced in the general determination
that labor conditions should remain as before,
they did so with the reservation that they
should he free to do as they had done prior
to April iK, namely, take every possible ad-
vantage of the necessities of the labor em-
ployed b) them. At any rate, that is exactlv
w ha* the contractors are now doing.
Ti !s now quite clear that no reliance can
be placn 1 in the personal word of the persons
referred to. Steps must he taken to establisl'
a system by which all three parties to the work
of clearing the ruins and rebuilding the cit\
— employers, employes and the city — shall
he hound by something more than a general
declaration to work in harmony and with
proper respect for each other's interests. The
San Francisco Labor Council, at its meeting
on the r8th inst., adopted a recommendation
looking to the establishment of such a sys-
tem, and referred it to Mayor Schmilz. with
the request that the latter invite the co-op
tion of all parties in putting the plan into ef-
fect. In brief, the proposed plan contemplates
a bureau composed of duly authorized repre-
sentatives of employers, employes and the city,
in which all applicants for employment shall
be registered as a prerequisite to securing
employment. In the main, the proposed
bureau would deal with the unskilled-labor
situation, leaving to the trade-unions the
function of regulating the conditions of em-
ployment in the so-called skilled trades. In
other words, the bureau would serve the pur-
pose of organization among the unskilled,
workers, with the. added advantage of recog-
nition by the employers.
Of course-, the contractors and other- of
their ilk, being accustomed to deal with their
employes upon a "supply-and-demand" basis,
can not be expected to look with favor upon
this or any other plan that interferes with
their right ( ?) to "run their own business."
But in the present condition of affairs, more
than ever before, the employers' business is
also, and most obviously, the public business.
It is the public business to sec that the thous-
ands of San Francisco workingmen who are
now idle shall be employed as quickly as pos-
sible and upon terms which will enable them
to support themselves in decency and inde-
pendence. It is the contractor's business to
that he makes as much mone) as pos-
sible, regardless of every other consideration,
not even- excepting the consideration of hu-
manity. It remains to lie seen which shall
prevail, the business of the public or that of
the contractor.
The plan proposed by the Labor Council
has already been put into effect in one or more
instances of private initiative. In these in-
stances it appears that the plan has the ap-
proval of certain contractors, who are working
in harmonj with it. The limited success thus
achieved, by demonstrating the practicability
of the plan, also demonstrates the need ol" its
more general adoption under public auspices.
The city itself should be a party to the plan,
sq that the other parties shall he placed under
an obligation which they can not violate with
impunity. The city can not leave the
subject to private agreement without laying
itself open to a suspicion of indifference to the
results and of a possible de-ire that certain
interests shall profit by the present system,
or rather lack of system.
To repeat the point that has been urged in
these columns every week since the disaster
of April 18: The labor question is the most
important one now before the public, and will
continue to be such for a long time to come.
The realization of all the hopes and predic-
tions of a greater and more prosperous city
than that which has just been destroyed is con-
tingent upon tlie position occupied hy labor
now and hereafter. The property-owner,
financier, architect, contractor and insurance
company are important factors in the re-
building of the city, but neither of these, nor
all combined, constitute in themselves the de-
termining factor of the future. San Fran-
cisco will he greater or smaller than before in
proportion as its working class is better or
worse off than before. The work of rebuild-
ing the city should he begun at the founda-
tion; that is, by establishing conditions of la-
bor which shall insure the growth of a strong,
Free and stable community. All question of
the Future aside, tin re remains the immediate
question of providing employment for the
homeless campers ("picnickers," as they are
termed bj the dail) press). 'I his question

San Francisco needs he!]), needs lots of it, and
needs it at once! 'I he reports of contribu-
tions amounting to ten, and even twenty, mil-
lion dollars, are- purely imaginative. At any
rate', no such sums have keen received, the
total being less than five million dollars, ex-
clusive of food, clothing, etc. The country at
large has hern exceedingly prompt and gen-
erous in aiding the sufferers hy earthquake
and lire, and San Francisco is profoundly
grateful for the succor thus afforded. We
Feel confident that .all necessary aid will be
forthcoming in the future as promptly and
generously as in the past, provided the true
s'ate of affairs is ma.de- known throughout
the- country. Thousands of persons still re-
main dependent upon aid for the necessaries
of hare existence, te> say nothing of the com-
forts of life. This condition is likel) to con-
tinue for some time, and possibly to grow
worse. Therefore, we urge a continuance of
the' relief measures undertaken by other com-
munities. As soon as possible elite notice will
be given that San Francisco is again able to
care for her own, and even to spare a little
for others who may be in need.
The' Journal notes with regret the an-
nouncement of the death of George E. Mc-
Neill, long known as the "Nestor of the Am-
erican Labor Movement." Brother Mc-
Neill's record is a long and brilliant one. His
death will be mourned by trade-unionists
throughout the world, and not least by the
organized seamen, in whose cause he re-n-
dered splendid service.

PLANS FOR NIAGARA.
The International Waterways Commission,
which completed its wink recently at Buffalo,
has made public rt. recommending
that, exclusive of water required for domestic
use or the services of locks in navigation
canals, such diversions be limited on the
Canadian side to 36,000 cubic feet per second,
and on the United States side to (8,500 cubic
feet per second.
It provides that any treaty or arrangement
as i" the preservation of Niagara Kails shall
be limited to twenty-five years. A memoran
dum was drawn up embodying the following
principles in dealing with the whole subject :
\o obstruction or diversion shall be per-
mitted upon any navigable water crossing the
boundary or in streams tributary thereto which
would injuriously affect navigation. Each
country shall have the righl of. diversion for
irrigation or extraordinary purposes in equal
quantities of the waters of nonnavigable
streams crossing the international boundary.
A permanent joint commission can deal much
more satisfactorily with the settlement of all
disputes arising as to the application of these
principles, and should he appointed.
FOLDING ANCHORS.
Folding beds are not the only things made
to shut up. said the marine hardware man.
There, for instance, is the folding anchor.
Originally all anchors were made with the
stock stationary, and as the stock, at one end
■ if the shank, was set at right angles to the
arms and flukes at the other — the object be-
ing to tilt the anchor and make one of the
flukes engage — a big anchor would take up a
lot of space.
The fixed stocks of the old anchors were
made of w 1. Later they came to make them
of iron, and these iron stocks they make mov-
able so as to occupy less space when not in
use. This was the folding anchor.
In these anchors, while the stock holds
down, the arms, with tlukes attached, still ex-
tend rigidly from either side at the foot of
the shank. Then came the patent anchor,
without a stock, and with flukes in line at the
ends of an arm pivoted through the end of
tin- shank.
Thus pivoted the tlukes can swing to either
side of the shank, and the tlukes are forged
in such shape that when the anchor is dragged
on the bottom their points are inclined down-
ward and made to bury. With no stock at-
tached, the shank of this anchor is pulled right
in through the hawsepipe, the flat flukes lying
snug againsl the side of the vessel.
\nd now we have, for smaller vessels, i,,}(\-
ing anchors that actually fold up — of which
there are a number of styles.
( >ne sort has no stock, but has four amis,
somewhat like a grapple, so that one or more
arms will engage on whatever side the anchor
may fall. These four arms are each hinged
where they are joined to the shank. They are
held outward in place by a collai that slips
down the shank upon them and locks them at
the base.
When the anchor is not in use the collar is
slid hack and the arms folded up against the
shank, the collar being then slid down over the
points to hold the arms there. So the anchor
can he folded up completely.
Another folding anchor is of the typical
anchor form, with two arms terminating in
tlukes and with a stock in the regulation man-
ner at right angles to the arms, with arms and
stock both hinged where they join the shank.
A pin holds the arms in place when extended
and in like manner another pin holds the stuck.
When the arms are folded up against the
shank their pin holds them in place there, and
when the hinged stock is folded down against
the shank the stock pin holds that there.
Folding anchors all of galvanized iron are
made in sizes ranging in weight from 6 pounds
to -'00 pounds. A six-pound folding anchor,
folded, you could carry in your pocket easily.
It might make your pocket sag a little, but
there would he plenty of room for it there.
How much of a Imat an anchor will hold
depends, of course, on the kind of boat and on
tlie waters in which it is used. Hut that little
six-pound folding anchor would do for a row-
boat.
Folding anchors are. of course, so made in
order to save space. They are used mi small
boats, launches, powerboats, yachts, pleasure
craft of various sorts and often as spare an-
chors. Folded they can be stowed in a locker
or in any convenient place. In this form they
occup) but very little space.
We have been selling folding anchors for
some years, but now we sell more than ever,
what with the constantly and greatly increaSi
nig numbers of pleasure craft in use.
PROMISING CANADIAN TOWN.
The Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad has con-
summated negotiations to enter Port Arthur
over the Canadian Northern Railroad lands.
Port Arthur will become a great manufactur-
ing seat at 110 very distant day. Her great
waterway ( Lake Superior) and her central
position warrant this belief, as they can draw
the raw material from the east and west and
the United States just as cheaply, if not
cheaper, than any point in the Dominion.
Within the last five years the town has grown
to about 8,000 population, an increase of 2,500
during the time named, and a very large per-
centage of these newcomers, as well as a large
percentage of the older residents, are from the
United States. The Canada Pacific and the
Canadian Northern now run into Port Ar-
thur, and it is settled that the Grand Trunk
will also enter very shortly on a track of its
own and these will make the place a distribut-
ing point of no mean quality.
There are in Port Arthur and Port Fori
Williams eight grain elevators, with a capacity
of 20.000,000 bushels, and the Empire Ele-
vator Company proposes to build the ninth
elevator, with a capacity of 3.000,000 bushels.
There is a blast furnace in operation. Boston
capitalists are erecting mills for the manu-
facture of steel and iron tubes, and they will
invest heavily in that industry. Port Arthur
is a public ownership city. The city owns its
electric lighting plant, its street-car system, and
us waterworks, which has only been estab-
lished a short time.
NEW TYPE OF STEAMBOAT.
A steamboat which is destined to dispense
with the services of the colored roustabout is
being built at Pittsburg for the Memphis and
Arkansas River Packet Company, to be oper-
ated in tin' Memphis and Vicksburg trade.
She is a stern-wheel, steel-hull boat, apparently
of the ordinary type of Mississippi River
craft, but she is to be much finer than such
vessels.
Along each side of the lower deck is a con-
veyor to carry freight aft when the boat is
being loaded and forward when sin- is being
unloaded. The conveyors are to be run by
electric power. The stage, which is sixty-five
feet in length, by which freight may be re-
ceived and delivered on high banks, is also
equipped with a conveyor, which works in the
same manner as a rolling stairway. The con-
veyor on the stage is to be operated by an
electric motor in the middle of the stage, the
power being obtained from dynamos on the
steamer through wires attached to the stage.
( )ne of the most serious drawbacks to the
steamboat traffic in recent years has been the
propensity of the roustabout to "jump" the
boat at any time that he did not feel disposed
to work and to refuse to go out 011 the boats
even when high wages were offered. For the
last three years it has been an ordinary occur-
rence for boats to be delayed from twelve to
twenty-four hours after they were loaded be-
cause the colored men declined to accept posi-
tions, and the wages on some of the Southern
boats have been run up as high as $120 a
month on vessels that were obliged to go at
certain times. During the busy seasons the
ordinary wages of the roustabouts have ranged
from $75 to $90 a month.
The conditions have induced boat builders
to devise appurtenances that will do most of
the work of the muster. The arrangements ot
the new steamboat S. S. Brown are designed
to obviate the necessity of employing musters
and to require only a few laborers to move the
freight on and off the conveyors.
The boat is also designed to have the fuel
Stored in the hull, to be elevated to the fur-
naces by means of steam elevators. Each
stateroom is to be supplied with ho; and cold
water, and the after portion is to be parti-
tioned off for colored passengers. The steam-
boat is to be finished about July 1. and the cost
will be about 8125,000.
The new steel freight steamer Henry 1'..
Smith was recently launched at the yards of
the American Shipbuilding Company, at
Lorain, ( >. The vessel is 545 feet in length.
55 feet beam and 31 feet deep, and is designed
to carrv about 10.000 tons of ore. She is
owned by W. A. and A. H. Haywood, of
Cleveland. < ).
Liverpool is the world's second greatest sea-
port, the trade in 1904 aggregating $1,273.-
574,400. The tonnage paying dock and harbor
dues amounted to 31,992.774 tons, and the
Customs receipts $3I,43I.923- During the
year 207,051 head of cattle and 243,125 head
of live sheep were imported from the United
States.
CQAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
CANADA AND NIAGARA FALLS.
United States Consul Seyfert, of Stratford,
makes a report upon the findings of the com-
mission appointed by seven Canadian muni-
cipalities to estimate on the cost of develop-
ing 30,000 to 100,000 horsepower at Niagara
Falls for transmission to various cities in the
Dominion. He writes :
The report of the commission figures the
cost and distribution of the electrical power,
as well as the immense possibilities this devel-
opment would have in store for the future of
( )ntario. The power plant and electrical trans-
mission to the seven cities is estimated at $6,-
684,629 for 30,000 horsepower, $9,354,611 for
60,000 horsepower, or $11,909,100 for 100,000
horsepower. Additional cost would be in-
volved in delivering power to other cities. The
annual cost of maintenance is estimated at
$850/110, $1,138,551, and $1,413,634, respect-
ively. This includes interest at 4 1-2 per cent
and sinking fund for payment of entire plant
in forty years. The cost of electricity at To-
ronto for twenty-four hour service would be
$14.60 per horsepower per year if 100,000
horsepower were developed, $15.73 if 60,000
were developed, and $21.97 if only 30,000 wire
provided for. The rates at more distant cities
would be higher, reaching $34.48 at Wood-
stock on the 30,000 horsepower development.
It is figured that if eleven other cities join
the seven taking the initiative the full 100,000,-
horsepower plant could be used. An effort is
now being made to have the ( )ntario govern-
ment take over all the electrical power devel-
oped in the province and sell the power at cost
to the municipalities. Government ownership
of great public franchises is popular with
Canadian people.
This stupendous scheme for power, light,
and industrial development throughout On-
tario ought to arrest the attention of the peo-
ple who are interested in the preservation of
Niagara Falls. If carried into effect, it means
a great additional diversion of water from the
Falls — at least 100,000 horsepower more than
is now diverted by the power companies in op-
eration and contracted for. This is not all,
for tlje true menace lies in the fact that the
charter is subject to an unlimited supply of
power, which may in course of time mean ten
times as much water as is contemplated to take
to begin with.
United States Consul Murphy, of Bordeaux,
reports that only two American vessels have
entered the harbor at that place in ten years,
and those were private yachts which sought
refuge during the Spanish-American war.
The Consul further says that he had searched
the records of the consulate, which is the oldest
in continuous existence, dating back to 1790,
and found that in the first six months of 1805
no less than 1 12 vessels owned by Americans
and flying the American flag had entered and
cleared at the port. The vessels averaged from
175 to 200 tons, and brought to Bordeaux cot-
ton, sugar, tobacco, staves, whale oil, and log-
wood, and carried back to the United States
cargoes of wine, brandy, dry goods, wheat,
fruit, and hardware.
The Canadian Government has made a
change in its system of paying a bonus for
each person induced to imigrate from the
United Kingdom. Since April 1, the bonus
paid to each person who intends to follow
agricultural pursuits in Canada and to each
female domestic servant is $2.50 when under
18 years of age and $5 on persons above 18
years. A proviso is made that agents of Am-
erican lines landing passengers in United
States ports are excluded from participating
in the arrangement.
We Don't Patronize.
Emigrants leaving German ports during the
twelve months of 1905 numbered 306,753, ac-
cording to figures supplied by Yice-Consul-
General Risdorf, of Frankfort. Less than 10
per cent of these were German subjects. The
number of persons leaving German ports for
the United States last year was 40,574. The
greatest emigration from Germany to the
United States was in the five-year period 1881
to 1890, when 1,452,970 persons are recorded
as arriving in America.
A committee, representing many savings
banks in Spain, recently called on Senor
Moret, the Prime Minister, advocating the
early enactment of a pension law for old and
disabled workmen. Senor Moret offered his
support to the work that is now being prepared
in regard to this important matter by the In-
stitute of Social Reforms.
Consul-General Uchida, of Japan, at New
York, has received a cable-dispatch from the
Secretary of Finance, at Tokyo, announcing
that the actual net profit of the tobacco
monopoly of the Japanese Empire, for the fis-
cal year 1905 was 33,284,000 yen, or $16,642,-
000, and exceeded the estimated figure by 1,-
272,000 yen, or 636,500.

CIGARMAKERS AND CONSUMPTION.
The circulation recently accord
igarmakers' I rnion rela-
decrease in deaths from
if members of that organization,
from 51 per cent in 1888 to 24 per cent in
lent very special interest to the address
of President George W. Perl lis of the *
makers' [nternati' ion.
After discussing the subject of occupa
and tuberculosis in a general way. pointing
out the high rate of mortality from that dis-
ing workingmen, he contrasted fig-
ures showing the death rate to be 541 in every
100.000 marble and stone cutters, 477 anions;'
the same number of cigarmakers, 453 pi
ers and whitewash print-
ers and pressmen, and iwn the Hi
lied working class occupations, with the
low rate among hankers, brokers and officials
of <j_> in [00,009. This disparity he attrib-
uted almost wholly to low wages, long hours.
unsanitar) shop and home conditions, and in-
ability to secure proper food and clothing.
lie then devoted himself to an analysis of the
vital statistics of the Cigarmakers' Union,
which has for a long period of years kept ac-
curate records through its system of sick and
death benefit. We quote him in part:
"The vital statistics of the Cigarmakers'
International Union, which arc open to the
inspection of any one. show that in [888, two
years after the adoption of the eight-hour
working day in our trade, fifty-one per Cent
of the deaths in that year were caused by
tuberculosis. In [890 there were _mi deaths
all told, of which number 104 were caused
by consumption, which shows that th<
cent of those who die from this cause had
been reduced to forty-nine per cent. In
the total number of deaths was 47K, of which
consumption claimed no or twenty-four per
cent.
"< >ur records show that in [890 we ex-
pended all told for death benefits $26,04
of which amount about forty-nine per cent
or $12,761.07 was paid on account of those
who died from consumption. In [905 v.
pended all told for death benefits $162,218.82,
of which amount about twenty per cent or
$32,150.00 was paii ount of those who
died from consumption. This shows that
seventeen years ago about one-half of the
amount expended for deatl was on
account of those who died from consumption
and that to-day the outlay for this purpose
has been reduced to about twenty per
or more than one-half. These are actual facts

NAVAL ENGINEERING FEAT.
Mr. Henry Townsend, writing in Harper's
Weekly, tells of the rapid construction of ten
torpedo-boats under the direction of Lewis
Nixon. The boats were assembled in the
navy-yard at Sebastopol under conditions fit
to try the spirit of even such an indomitable
shipmaster as Peter the Great. Says Mr.
Townsend :
The space allotted to Mr. Nixon was at the
end of the yard and was, in fact, only a court-
yard paved with cobblestones which ran along
a sea-wall five feet high. " Along this wall the
boats had to be built ; and as there was no
other way of launching them, it was necessary
to lift them bodily from the ways by means
of a great derrick. But there was no time
to consider difficulties; there was only time
enough to build the boats, it was arranged to
build three of them at the edge of the wall so
that these might be readily lifted into the
water, but the positions assigned to the seven
imposed the task of skidding them sidewise
in order to get them under the derrick arm.
In the course of time material for the ten
boats arrived, after a transshipment at Ant-
werp, in a state of deplorable and almost hope-
less confusion. A great deal of it had been
seriously damaged. Angles were bent, plates
were distorted, boxes were broken, and many
parts had been altogether lost. And only six
weeks before the first torpedo-boat must be in
the water! However, the material was col-
lected, apportioned, and erected in place for
riveting. Each vessel had to have 62,060 riv-
ets driven in it, the hulls had to be faired, lines
for machinery run, struts and bearings lined
up, gun-foundation prepared, two engines of
300 horse-power set up on each vessel, with
tanks, pipes, and auxiliaries fitted in place,
and a great deal of this work could nol be set-
tled on until the hull itself was in shape.
At the same time workmen speaking a for-
eign tongue had to be selected and arranged
in proper gangs so that all work could go on
at once. Methods of work at variance with
the plan of the builder had to be overcome
and explained, and even habits had to be
changed to suit the man who knew that no
excuse, no matter how plausible, could ever
cover a failure to launch the vessels on time.
It is said that the men were proud of working
in the "Amerikansky Prospekt,'* as they chris-
tened the cobble-paved court where the tor-
pedo-boats were built. And when Nixon
would pass a group of them in the evening
they would never fail to let him know that
they were there and that they recognized him.
Their method was ingenious ; they would give
voice to about all the English they knew and,
say, loudly enough to be heard by him, "Hurry
up, it, hurry up!" And it must be said
that this form of greeting sounds suspiciously
like a quotation. In all probability it was a
potent factor in the accomplishment of the re-
markable task.
WORKINGMEN'S INSURANCE.
Harold Prey's yacht Rose Marine arrived
at Southampton, Eng., on May 19, after a
search of three years for the treasure that
has been so often looked for on Cocos Isl-
and. It is understood that the expedition
was a failure. Captain Matthews, master
of the craft, was interviewed ,and, though
he refused to give definite information, said
he had as much faith as ever before in the
The Bureau of Labor is engaged in the prep-
aration of a report on workingmen's insur-
ance in the United States and in foreign coun-
tries. It is the purpose of this investigation
to show the organization and operation of the
various systems of private and State insurance
of workingmen against sickness, accident, dis-
ability, old age, death, and unemployment. A
full account will also be given of the laws con-
cerning workingmen's insurance and the lia-
bility of employers for accidents to their em-
ployes.
In order that this investigation may he as
nearly complete as possible, the Commissioner
of Labor is desirous of obtaining information
in regard to all establishment relief funds and
employes' mutual aid societies for insurance
against sickness, accident, disability, old age,
death, or unemployment, as well as all benefit
and relief features of national and interna-
tional labor organizations, and local or branch
labor unions, both in the United States and in
foreign countries. It is desired to* obtain, if
possible, copies of the constitutions, rules and
by-laws, blank forms, annual or other regular
periodical reports, financial .statements; etc.,
of these- institutions. In addition to such ma-
terial as is above indicated, any in formation
which will enable the Bureau of L:d)or to lo-
cate institutions of this character is also de-
sired. Persons possessing such material or
information are requested to communicate
with the Commissioner of Labor, Washing-
ton, D. C.
NORWAY'S PAPER INDUSTRY.
ELEPHANTINE ELECTRICITY.
During 1904 there were 333 horses slaugh-
tered at Plauen, Germany, for food purposes
It is proposed by an enterprising Anglo-In-
dian to utilize the labor of elephants in operat-
ing the dynamos of an electric-lighting station.
lie writes to Engineering (London) that his
plan involves working the animals six hours a
dav for this purpose, and he asks whether any
one can tell him how much electric energy an
average elephant can produce in this way and
the cost of the necessary machinery. En-
gineering seems inclined to treat the proposal
with levity. Says Cosmos (Paris), in a note
on the correspondence :
"Engineering, in its answer, remarks that
the equivalent of the mechanical power of the
elephant is doubtless known in India, hut that
no data on the subject can be found in Euro-
pean text-hooks; perhaps it may be related to
that of the horse in the ratio of their respect-
ive weights. It adds that a central station run
by a file of elephants continually turning a
windlass or treading heavily on moving in-
clined planes would he rather a painful spec-
tacle. Outside of these methods, however, the
English paper does not see how the enterpris-
ing promoters of this plan could make the en-
erg) of the animals available. It can hardly

to project water through their trunk's against
the buckets of a Pcllon wheel; and besides we
have 110 means of calculating the force of such
a jet, and could not conscientiously recom-
mend the method! At this particular time,
when animal strength is being everywhere re-
placed b} mechanical motive power, to the
great advantage of our friends the domestii

The export of paper from Norway is gradu-
ally increasing. The exports for which official
figures are given were in value $2,179,000 in
1899 and $2,817,000 in 1904. Official figures
for 1905 are not as yet available, but if recent
newspaper articles can be relied upon the ex-
port for that year was larger than for any pre-
vious year. The countries to which the largest
exports were made in 1904 were Great Britain,
Germany, and Holland. The finer grades of
writing and bond paper are imported from
Germany, England, the United States, and
Belgium.
Germany is Norway's most formidable
European competitor in paper production.
The larger German mills have formd a syndi-
cate, whose object it is to control the yearly
production of paper and to regulate prices and
output. It is claimed by Norwegian paper
manufacturers that the prices charged by the
Germans for export goods are from 10 to 15
per cent lower than the prices charged in the
home market. Two new paper mills were built
in Norway in 1905. The Norwegian paper
manufacturers depend on their splendid water
powers, easy access to timber, and low wages
paid employes for ability to meet competition
and continue their business with profits. Some
of their wrapping papers are now finding a
limited but increasing market even in America.
COMMERCE OF BERGEN.
Bergen is primarily a fishing point; as a
natural consequence its surplus funds are in-
vested in ships of different kinds. More capi-
tal is invested in ships than in any other single
industry. Pergen's fleet of cargo steamers at
the end of 1904 was 215, registering 317,805
tons. Many of the ships are engaged, in the
fruit trade between United States ports and
the West Indies, Mexico, Central and South
America. The foreign trade in 1904 was $20,-
173,430; imports, $13,904,805; exports, $6,-
268,625. Of these the United States furnished
$2,539,085 and took goods worth $974,635.
The chief articles of import from all countries
were barley, wheat, rye, sugar, wool and
shoddy, Coal, and coffee. The exports from
Bergen amounted to $6,268,625, fish and fish
products constituting $4,325,170 of the total.
Among the fish exports there were 215,000
barrels of herring, 10,792 barrels of codliver
oil, 30,000 barrels of other fish oil, 10,080 tons
of torfish, and ^2^^ lobsters. Among the
other exports were 118,688 pounds of cheese,
44,000 barrels of margarine, 1,083,500 pounds
of butter, and ooo tons of hides and skins.
An American company has offered to put in
waterworks at the Honduran city of Puerto
Cortes on condition that it is given a charter
for lii'l'vn or more years and that the city as-
sist it in putting in the plant. Should this
offer be accepted by Puerto Cortes it will do
ty with the water tanks, which have for
many years past been the homes of the mos-
quito, 1 ho carrier of yellow fever.
President Diaz, of Mexico, has revoked the
order of December 30, 1905, by which foreign-
ers were prohibited from filing mining claims
ai lit.- State of Sonora and the Territory of
Power California. The rescinding of the or-
der goes into effect at once.
The fish landed and sold in the British
markets last year were valued at $50,000,000.

Council is co-operating with the Po-

back against the wall," and failing im-
mediate amendment of the State Ar-
bitration Act. they advocated that

tration Court proceedings and "light

tled away the powers of the Act until
it was now a menace, not a protection,
to the workers, and unless they had
the Act on lines promised by the
founder of the bill unionists were bet
ter without any.

MIRTHQUAKE COLUMN
James A. Bailey, Circus Man. —
From a farmer lad serving a brutal
master, for $3.25 a month, to the head-
ship of the "Greatest Show on Earth"
was the range of the career of the late
James A. Bailey. Forty years of cir-
cus life were productive of a varied
-tore of anecdotes, which his death
nas recalled to his former associates
Says the New York Times, telling of
the reception of the news of his death
imong his employes:
A remark would be made and a
Story of James A. Bailey straightway
rei .1 lied.
"I remember once he went to bid
for a tiger," -aid Hamilton, "and there
a lot of other circus men all bid-
ding,'too. But one little man outbid
them all. He wasn't a showman. He
wasn'l going to make a present to any
one of that tiger, lie wasn't going to
1 ni a menagerie. Mr. Bailey was
puzzled, lie wanted that tiger him-
self, so be asked the little man if he
would sell it back for what he paid
lor it. He wouldn't. Mr. Bailey
asked him why, if he wasn't a show-
man or anything in that line, In
o anxious to keep that tiger,
" 'My w ife died last month,' said
1 In '111 le in j 11. 'and I'm lonely."
"That was Mr. Baileys pet story,"
milton, 'and you should
have heard him tell it."
"Winch reminds me," said Mr.
Hyatt, 'of 1 he way he bought things.
A German dealer came over the sea
to 1 ell him about a big elephant he
\ hi d to sell.
"I low big is it?' asked Mr. Bailey.
"The German got on the tabic ami
mole a mark on the wall with his
walking-stick.
"Il it's as big as that,' said Mr.
y, 'I'll give you $y,ooo for it. And
I'll take off $100 for every inch it's
short <<i it, and put $100 on for every
inch it exceeds that height.'
"It was always Mr. Bailey's joke
on himself that he had to pay $50 over
the $9,000 for that elephant."
( inly one thing seemed to worry
him, and that was that he could not
live until April 17, when, following
his annual custom, he -meant to give
1 circus ' performance for the benefit
of cripples and orphans. His heart
had always been with the children,
particularly the helpless ones. Tins
dying regret of his was told at Madi-
son Square Garden the other night.
Airs. White, the superintendent of the
wardrobe, burst into tears and said:
"It seems only yesterday that he
Stood out in that lobby on orphans'
day, and in his own arms carried the
poor little cripples to special places
where they wouldn't be in the crush."
The few old circus men who were
told the news 111 whispers before the
performance that night (for the news
was kept from mosl of the perform-
ers) showed a greal deal of feeling.
One of the clowns broke down com-
pletely, and only stopped sobbing
when the bell rang and be had to
run into the ruin to make the people
laugh.
The Times says further:
I n t88g Bailey 0 mceived the idea 1 il
taking his show to England. "It can't
be done," said old circus men. "The
task is too big."
"Yes," replied Bailey, "even the mil-
itary authorities say thai it 1 impos-
sible, but I'm going to show them
1 hiug."
I for travel. The
work of putting the 5ho\A' on a
Steamer was a spectacle. Freight
cars and elephants were lifted by
cranes and lowered into the holds of
vessels. Every conceivable bit of
circus paraphernalia was loaded be-
tween decks, and the show sailed.
Bailey toured England for a year,
and the English flocked to his enter-
tainments. When he left them they
told him to come back again. He
promised them he would, for he loved
England, and had incorporated his
circus under the English laws. That
incorporation showed some of
Bailey's quality of finesse, for in in-
corporating the circus in England he
paved the way for clear transporta-
tion from point to point, and arranged
1 he agreement in such a way that no
other circus could compete with him
there.
A Superfluity of Deaths. — In the
"Reminiscences' of Sir Henry Haw-
kins, quoted in the last issue of the
American Law Review, there are
some amusing stories of the vagaries
of jury decisions. One of these stor-
ill bear repetition. "The evidence
• 1 irresistible," says Sir Henry, "and
the case one of inexcusable brutality.
"The man had been tried for the
murder of his father and mother, and,
as I said, the evidence was too clear
vi .1 di iubt as to his guilt.
"The jury retired to consider their
verdict, and were away so long that
the judge sent for them and asked
if there was any point upon which he
could enlighten them. They answer-
ed no, and thought they understood
the case perfectly well.
"After a great deal of further con-
sideration they brought in a verdict
of 'Not guilty.'
"The judge was angry at so out-
rageous a violation of their plain duty
and did what he ought not to have-
done — namely, asked the reason they
brought in such a verdict, when they
knew the oulprit was guilty and ought
to have been hanged.
" 'That's just it, my lord,' said the
foreman of this distinguished body, 'I
assure you we had no doubt about the
prisoner's guilt, but we thought there
had been deaths enough in the family
lately and so gave him the benefit of
the doubt.' "
Peace in the Philippines. — It is said
that not long ago a War Department
official was approached by a man who
was thinking of moving to the Phil-
ippines to enter business.
"I would like to know the status
of things there from a reliable
source," the man said. 'Is there now
a condition of peace?"
"Well, not exactly everywhere,"
the 1 ifficial admitted.
"Could yon give me any idea as to
when peace will be established?"
"Not off-hand, but you can get the
census report and figure it out for
yourself," the official said, somewhat
bitterly. "We estimate that it re-
quires a man's weight in lead to thor-
oughly 'pacify' him, and the Quarter-
master's Office can furnish you with
a statement of ammunition ship
meiiis." 1 1 arper's \\ eekly.
No Difference There. — "Your friend.
Miss Passay, lias become quite
chummy with Miss Newcombe. I
don't suppose there's much d '
ence in their ages."
"I can't answer for \hs- New-
combe. bill there isn't any differ*
in Miss Passay's age. She has been
21 for the iii ten years to my knowl-
edge."

STRICKEN AND SOLD.
EARTHQUAKE and conflagration arc not
the greatest misfortunes that may befall
a city. San Francisco, while still suffering
the full measure of loss from these causes, has
just been dealt another and more fateful blow,
not by the unseen and inscrutable hand of Provi-
dence, but by the hand of those who should have
been her most vigilant protectors.
The Board of Supervisors on May 21 passed
an ordinance granting the United Railroads
Company (the local street-car monopoly) the
privilege of erecting a permanent overhead trol-
ley system on all streets previously served by
cable power, during the remaining term of its
franchise, which runs for about twenty-five years.
Thus the scheme of the street-car corporation,
which had been persistently urged by that con-
cern for many years, and as persistently rejected
by the people, has at last been consummated. And
that by consent of a government which, of all its
predecessors, was thought to be particularly de-
voted to the public, as against the corporation in-
terests!
The action of the Board of Supervisors in pass-
ing, and of Mayor Schmitz in signing, the trolley
ordinance, has astonished and dismayed every
thoughtful and public-spirited citizen. _ Properly
enough, and significantly enough, organized labor
has been first to publicly condemn that action.
The San Francisco Labor Council, at its meeting
on May 25, adopted resolutions dealing with this
and other matters of importance, as follows:
Whereas, Immediately following the great ca-
lamity of April 18 the workers represented in
the San Francisco Labor Council and other simi-
lar bodies declared their purpose of suspending
all trade-union rules concerning the employment
of labor, and later declared that no changes
should be made in the conditions of labor pre-
vailing or in contemplation prior to April 18; and
Whereas, This action was taken, first, in re-
sponse to the dictates of humanity, for the pres-
ervation of life and property and for the relief
of distress, and, secondly, for the maintenance
of labor conditions which should expedite the
great task of reconstruction; and
Whereas, These declarations on the part of or-
ganized labor have been observed in strictest
good faith up to the present time; therefore be it
Resolved, By the San Francisco Labor Council,
in regular meeting assembled, May 25, 1906, that
we deplore the growing evidence of lack of co-
operation by certain interests in the objects here-
in stated, specifically in the raising of rents and
increasing other items of the cost of living; fur-
ther
Resolved, That we especially condemn the prac-
tice of certain employers in reducing wages and
imposing other onerous conditions upon labor, re-
gardless of the widespread suffering now exist-
ing among the working class of the city; fur-
ther
Resolved, That we disapprove the proposed
plans for the extension of the fire limits, so
far as Mich plans impose hardship upon those
who formerly owned homes or who may now or
hereafter contemplate securing homes in the ter-
ritory outside of the present lire limits, such plans
being calculated to force people out of the city,
thus working an injury to the latter as well as
an injustice to the persons directly affected; fur-
ther
Resolved, That we condemn the action of the
city government in granting the United Railroads
Company the privilege of constructing a perma-
nent overhead trolley system in place of the
cable system provided for in the original fran-
chise, such action being dangerous to life and
property, unjustified by natural or mechanical
conditions, prejudical to the city's present and
future interests and dictated by the United Rail-
roads Company solely upon the ground of cheap-
ness; further
Resolved, That we emphatically protest against
this and other evidences of a determination upon
the part of the public-service corporations to take
advantage of the city's misfortunes for the pur-
pose of securing absolute control over all public
utilities and public property, and against the
apparent disposition upon the part of the city
government to submit to these aggressions, if
not to co-operate in their consummation; fur-
ther
Resolved, That we call upon all public-spirited
citizens of San Francisco to exercise the most
ceaseless vigilance in safeguarding the city's in-
terests, to the end that the rejuvenated metrop-
olis may be the freehold of its people, not the
mere dividend-earning property of speculative
capital.
These resolutions were thoroughly discussed
and adopted by a large majority at the most
numerously attended meeting of the Labor Coun-
cil since the recent disaster. The justification of
the Council's action may be best gathered from
the grounds of objection raised by the opponents
of the resolutions. These grounds are: Neces-
sity of immediate resumption of street-car traffic;
impracticability of the conduit system; gratitude
for services rendered by the United Railroads
Company.
As to the first of these grounds, the begging of
the question is quite apparent. The ordinance
deals, not with the question of immediate re-
sumption, but with the question of permanent
operation. The public, without exception, is
agreed that the overhead system would be ac-
ceptable for temporary purposes. Mayor Schmitz
had assured the public that the permit to erect
poles on the city's leading thoroughfares was a
temporary arrangement, revocable at his own
pleasure. Upon that understanding the arrange-
ment was received with universal favor. Sud-
denly, without opportunity of consulting public
opinion, the arrangement is made permanent, and
extended to practically every street in the city.
And this, notwithstanding several of the more
important cable roads are in workable condition.
Concerning the impracticability of the conduit
system, the defenders of the Administration, re-
ferring to the defense offered by Mayor Schmitz
himself, quote the Burgomeister of Berlin as re-
porting against that system. This authority
seems rather far-fetched. Further, that authority
is open to a suspicion of self-interest. It is gen-
erally understood that much of the capital in-
vested in the United Railroads is of German
origin, a fact which lends color to the probability
that the esteemed official of the German capital
may have at least one eye open to business in his
correspondence with the officials of San Fran-
cisco. At any rate, the success of the conduit
system is demonstrated much nearer home.
Whatever difference of opinion may exist be-
tween the engineers employed by the corporation
and those employed by the city, the practical suc-
cess of the conduit system on the busiest streets
in the world (to-wit, the streets of New York
City) must stand as an argument justifying at
least a fair trial of that system. Nothing that
has occurred in San Francisco since April 18 has
justified any modification of public opinion upon
the question, while everything that occurred
prior to that memorable date justifies the charge
that the passage of the trolley ordinance was
merely the consummation of a job long contem-
plated and in course of preparation.
The plea of gratitude is at once the strongest
and the weakest that could be made in this con-
nection. San Francisco has received many serv-
ice for which she will hold herself under obli-
gation, to be discharged either in the form of
cherished remembrance of those who are satis-
fied to accept that kind of remuneration, or by
the payment of cold cash to those who are satis-
fied to present their bills. Not a sing'e iota of
obligation will be repudiated; everything will be
paid, in one form or other, and with interest.
If the United Railroads Company should pre-
sent its bill in dol'ars and cents for services ren-
dered, doubtless the same would be paid. But a
bill presented in the form oj an ordinance to con-
fer privileges the value of which is out of all
proportion to any conceivable service al-
ready rendered, or to be ' rendered in the
future, is quite another matter. In such cir-
cumstances the plea of gratitude simply re-
solves itself into a demand for tribute. If the
obligations recently incurred by San Francisco
are to be generally reckoned in this fashion, that
city may as well bid adieu to the last hope of civic-
freedom. The obligation of gratitude that does
not leave some hope of discharge is one that
must be repudiated under the superior obligation
of independence. As a matter of fact, the plea of
gratitude made on behalf of the United Railroads
rests upon a mistaken premise; namely, that
that corporation has suffered financially as a re-
sult of the earthquake and fire. This premise is
disproved by no less an authority than the Presi-
dent of the United Railroads, who, speaking for
the benefit of the stockholders in the East, as-

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
AUSTRALIAN NOTES.
(For the Coast Seamen's Journal.)
The trade-unionists here, and especially
the seamen, deeply regret the calamity that
has befallen San Francisco, and hope that
the loss of life is not as great as we read in
the press. Property can always be replaced,
but the lives of those who are gone will
never be replaced by all the money in the
world. As an old sailor who remembers
with pleasure his sojourn in your country,
and in my humble way. I congratulate Presi-
dent Roosevelt upon his action in preventing
the departure of ships from your harbor, as
all seafarers know how persons in distress
can be accommodated on board of a ship.
The Arbitration Court of New South
Wales has now taken a very peculiar stand
in connection with the Sydney Wharf La-
borers" Union. The Judge states that a union
must abide by the rules as printed. But take
notice he (the Judge) is the person to give
a definition of the rules. The words "may"
and "shall" mean the same to him. I now
ask the editor of the Coast SEAMEN'S
Journal, do these words mean the same?
If the Judge was juggling with them as a
lawyer or solicitor? The whole of the
trouble has arisen over the epiestion as to
whither a person seeking admission should
come before the general body or that the
secretary should admit them on application
at his office.
Although the person referred to was re-
jected at a meeting, he afterward refused
to attend again for admission, and, as the
Judge ordered that he be' made a member by
tin- society, and the said union can not see
its way clear to swallow everything that the
Judge says, he has taken the opportunity to
state that the Wharf Laborers' Union has
"flouted the court." At the same time the
Judge has gone so far as to say that if the
union does not observe his judgment he will
cancel its registration. If that is not a threat
1 do not know what is. Furthermore, he has
now decided to take away the preference
clause, which, as every trade-unionist
knows, never existed in his award, as is
proven in the Xorth Coast Company's case.
The Judge says that unionists must work in
"peace and harmony" with non-unionists.
He also makes provisions for "old and slow"
workers and constant hands, as he terms
them, who may be employed for three days
in the week. Just imagine "constant"
hands for three days in a week! What idea
has this particular gentleman of the wants
of a worker? Did his environments at any
time necessitate his being placed in such a
position? Can he not understand that there
is more force than the kick of a mule behind
the individual who is so anxious to join that
union? Is it not time that the Gum-Tree
Aristocracy opened their eyes and looked a
little further than over their own fence? It
is up to the workers to establish a "Labor
University" to educate the wealthy class.
The workers of Melbourne have decided
to invite the Countess of Warwick to visit
Australia. This is the lady who so ably as-
sisted in the return of Labor M. P.'s to the
British House of Commons. Even if there
is to be found one woman in Great Britain
to help Labor in general, no regret is felt
here that we have women suffrage, as I
am of the opinion that it is possible to find
very many Lady W'arwicks in Australia, but
not in the same sphere. Our lady workers
or Countesses are among the workers, and
from the enthusiastic way in which they are
organizing the women here, great credit is
due then:.
The seamen meet in conference in Mel-
bourne next week, and I think much good
will be the result.
Bully for the trade-unionists of America
who are coming to the front to defend the
officials of the Western Federation of
Miners. I know that all fellow-unionists
here believe these men innocent. I also
know that no unionist desires bloodshed.
Irrigation is coming closer. When it does
come we will then be in a position to look
for immigrants, as we will have some place
for them.
Fraternally,
The Commodore.

INEFFICIENCY OF GERMAN NAVY.
The present inefficiency of the German Navy
is deplorable, we are told by Count Ernest
Reventlow, a prominent member of the "Flot-
tenverein," the German Navy League, who
writes in the Tagliche Rundschau (Berlin).
Seventeen of the principal battleships, he says,
are not merely inefficient, but are no more than
floating coffins. The deduction of these anti-
quated warships leaves only eighteen first-
class battleships available for active service
in modern warfare. According to the Frank-
furter Zeitung, the Secretary of State for the
Navy, Admiral von Tirpitz, admits that thir-
teen at least of the ships mentioned by the
Count are unavailable excepting for minor in-
significant duties. The same journal notes
that Conservatives and Clericals, as well as
nine out of every ten Liberals of the Reich-
stag, are keen supporters of an increased ex-
penditure for the purpose of creating a pow-
erful army. Herr Bebel, leader of the Social-
Democrats, while expressing his regret for
this in a recent Navy-bill debate, stated that
the Emperor alone had created the popular
enthusiasm for the navy which existed
throughout the country.
FOREIGN FISHING ACT.
The lower house of the Colonial Legis-
lature has passed the Foreign Fishing Ves-
sels Act without division, although Opposi-
tion Leader Marine spoke against the meas-
ure, characterizing it as a declaration of war
against a nation at peace with the Empire,
The measure now goes to the upper house,
where it probably will be passed also.
Premier Bond in his speech declared that
it was necessitated by the conduct of the
officials of the American fishery cutter
Grampus in Bay of Islands last fall, because
of the refusal of American fishing vessels
to enter and clear for customs or to pay light
flues and observe the Colony's law against
smuggling. The Premier declared the Col-
ony's sovereignty over the waters within
three miles of the coast must be maintained.
He added that all Colonial officials have been
instructed to enforce the Fishery regula-
tions.
American wheat has been introduced into
Italy, the first cargo of 145,000 bushels ar-
riving at Catania and Messina in March. This
was macaroni wheat. The island of Sicily
buys over $2,500,000 of wheat per annum,
nearly all of it heretofore from Russia, and
the consul thinks that the market for Ameri-
can wheat should be a good one.
TOBACCO AS A DISINFECTANT.
Although there is a general impression that
tobacco smoke is a germicide, this property
has not been assigned hitherto to any one par-
ticular constituent of the smoke. The author
of a note on the subject in The Lancet gives
reason for believing that among other germi-
cidal constituents the smoke contains formal-
dehyde. He says :
"The composition of tobacco smoke is, of
course, complex, but everybody knows that
tarry oils are a principal constituent, and cer-
tainly many oils are powerfully antiseptic.
Nicotin, again, is a strong disinfectant, but
the quantity of this poison in tobacco smoke is
minute, if, indeed, it is present at all. At least,
in a number of chemical analyses of tobacco
smoke made at different times it was difficult
to declare with absolute certainty that nicotin
was an important constituent. The oily matter
which accumulates in a tobacco pipe is decid-
edly poisonous, but it does not contain any ap-
preciable quantity of nicotin, the chief con-
stituent being the very poisonous oil pyridin.
Tobacco smoke contains a decided quantity of
the very poisonous gas carbon monoxid which
has been used for preserving purposes and
which therefore must possess germicidal prop-
erties. Some simple experiments which we
have recently made would seem to confirm the
observation that one of the principal constitu-
ents accounting for the germicidal properties
of tobacco smoke is the powerful antiseptic
formaldehyde. The amount present is more
than just appreciable, for if water through
which a few puffs of tobacco smoke have been
passed is tested for formaldehyde the result is
strikingly positive. The quantity of formal-
dehyde in tobacco smoke would appear to de-
pend on the quality and kind of tobacco
smoked. Thus the cigar appears to yield more
formaldehyde than the pipe, and the pipe more
than the cigarette. Possibly the peculiarly ir-
ritating property of the smoke issuing from
the glowing end of a cigarette or cigar or from
the bowl of a pipe is due to formaldehyde. It
has more than once been stated that tobacco-
smokers enjoy an immunity from certain dis-
eases ; and the frequent presence of a power-
ful antiseptic in the mouth, nasal passages,
and sometimes the lungs (as in the case of
those who foolishly inhale tobacco smoke)
would to some extent justify the statement.
When it is considered that in the nose a vast
number of microbes are hourly deposited it is
conceivable that these may be effectively de-
stroyed by the frequent passage of tobacco
smoke through the organ. In the same way
the organisms exposed to tobacco smoke in
the mouth would succumb. Formaldehyde is
one of the most powerful disinfectants we pos-
sess, t part in 10,000 parts of water serving
to destroy all microbes, while such a dilute so-
lution has practically no poisonous action on
the human organism. All the same, it is most
undesirable that this fact should stimulate the
practise of smoking tobacco to absurd excess,
for tobacco poisoning is a greater reality than
many persons think, and to employ tobacco in
abusive quantities for the sake of destroying
microbes might amount possibly to killing the
seeds of one disease onlv to contract another."

Britain, which arrived at Father Point on

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
On the Atlantic Coast
(Contributed by the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Unions)
THE THOMAS W. LAWSON.
The famous seven-master, Thomas W.
Lawson, of the Coastwise Transportation
Company, whose advent in the coastwise
trade four years ago, created somewhat of
a stir, has been chartered by one of the
Texas oil companies and will be transformed
into an oil barge to be used for the trans-
portation of oil from Port Arthur, Tex., to
New York and Philadelphia. She will go
from Boston, after discharging her next
cargo, to New York, where bulkheads will
be fitted, her topmasts taken out, and heavier
bitts put in, as she will be towed from port
to port.
It is claimed that the cause of her going
into this trade is on account of the dullness
"in the coal trade and the prospects of a
greater dullness should the present coal
strike continue. Since she was placed in
commission she has been in the coal carry-
ing trade between Newport News and Bos-
ton, and her usual cargo is about 8000 tons.
For some time after her launching she held
the distinction of being the largest sailing
vessel afloat, and she was a wonder to for-
eign shipowners. A Hamburg firm, how-
ever, has since built a five-masted ship which
exceeds the Lawson in tonnage, but there
is some doubt as to her carrying capacity
being greater .
A short time since the Government made
overtures to the owners of the Lawson to
charter her to carry coal from Newport
News to San Francisco, but the deal fell
through, as the rate offered was considered
too low.
The schooner Wm. L. Douglas, belonging
to the same firm, has been chartered by an
oil concern and is now being converted into
an oil barge.
The Douglas is a steel schooner of 3708
gross tons and was built in 1903 at the
Fore River Iron Works, Quincy, Mass.
The Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union has
sustained by loss three well-known mem-
bers within one week, Otto Krantman, Ed-
ward Clark, who was agent in Norfolk sev-
eral years ago, and Peter Thompson, who
has served as janitor and baggagemaster
in Boston for the last three years.
Peter Thompson was 71 years of age and
has been a member of the Atlantic Coast
Seamen's Union since 1890. He was taken
suddenly ill in the Seamen's Hall on May
20 and was sent to the Hospital, where he
died of heart trouble.
Krantman was smothered by smoke in
the Bay State House, his room having
caught fire by some inexplicable cause.
Clark was smothered by smoke on board
of the schooner Sagamore (of which vessel
he was second mate), the fire having started
in the mate's room while he was asleep. By
a peculiar coincidence, fire started in mate's
room again some days later and came very
near destroying the entire vessel.
The German Admiralty has resolved on fur-
nishing ships of war with means for recogniz-
ing each other's identity at distances too great
for reading the name of the vessel. This is to
be effected by the use of rings or bands on the
chimney funnel, differing in number and
color.
BUILDING NEW CUNARDERS.
Esrch year the shipbuilders approach a few
feet nearer the ultimate goal of an ocean steam-
ship 1,000 feet in length. The two new Cunard
liners now building, one of which will be
launched the last of the present month, will be
790 feet long ; 88 feet breadth ; depth moulded
60 1-2 feet; displacement over 40,000 tons;
and speed from 2J to 29 statute miles per hour.
The accomplishment of such magnificent rec-
ord breaking has been made possible by a
subsidy of $750,000 a year, and the loan of
$10,000,000 at 2^4 per cent from the British
government. In return the ships are to fly the
English flag, and be available to the admiralty
in event of their need in case of war.
The two ships are identical in construction,
hence the description of one applies to both.
The hull is being constructed in a large shed
with glass roof 700 fet long, 100 feet wide and
144 feet high. All manner of electric cranes
move in every direction far overhead ; when
their work is done 30,000 tons of steel will have
been assembled and taken form in a gigantic
hull of graceful form and bound together in
the strongest manner known to the art. The
rudder weighing 65 tons, and with its main
castings totaling 200 tons, suggests the massive
lines of construction. There are six decks,
which will accommodate 2,350 passengers and
800 employes.
The captain on the bridge will be no feet
above the keel ; while the four funnels will rise
to 154 feet above the keel, and are large enough
to permit two locomotives of ordinary size to
pass within any one of the funnels. The two
masts are each 210 feet high . In order to
secure the high speed required, each ship will
require an indicated horsepower of 60,800.
This will be derived from four screw propellers
driven by steam turbines — two low and two
high pressure — supplied with steam at 195
pounds from 23 double-end boilers and two
single-end, with a total of 192 furnaces. In
addition to the 4.500 electric lights, electricity
will operate the elevators and other conveni-
ences, while all parts of the ship will be con-
nected by telephones.
COMMERCE OF PHILADELPHIA.
The commerce of the port of Philadelphia
for the first four months of the present years
shows a decided increase over 1905, despite
the fact that 1905 was the banner year for im-
ports. C. Wesley Thomas, Collector of the
Port, said yesterday that the imports for April
were valued at $6,624,781, an increase of $967,-
809 over the corresponding month of last year.
For the first four months of 1906 the value of
the imports was $24,512,939, and for the like
period of 1905, $24,132,528, which shows an
increase for this year's first quarter of $380,-
411. The impression prevails at the Custom
House that 1906 will break all past records.
The value of the imports for the quarter end-
ing March 31 was $10,638,952.90 and the
duties $5,300,779.12. For the quarter ending
December 31, 1905, the values were $9,139,-
525.90 and the duties $4,320,942.81, an in-
crease for 1906 in values of $1,499,427 and in
duties $979,836.42.
UNION ITEMS.
The Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union has
re-opened the Bangor (Me.) branch for the
summer. Comrade Percy J. Pryor, who is
well known on the Coast, has been sent
down to take charge.
The Seamen of he Atlantic Coast, wel-
comed the Coast Seamen's Journal of April
25th. Though diminished in size it showed
that our comrades of the Pacific were still
on deck and had their jury mast and rudder
rigged.
Much anxiety was felt, and many ques-
tions asked of your correspondent, and when
at last he was able to hand out a copy of
the "Journal" there were many words of
praise for the indomitable pluck and perse-
verance shown.
Bangor and vicinity has become of late
a very important shipping point of the At-
lantic Coast, very large coal docks having
been built at Stockton Springs, which will
hereafter be the distributing point for that
section of the country.
Mr. John Crowley, General Manager for
the Coastwise Transportation Company has
bid in the Fannie Palmer, which recently
went ashore on Virginia Beach. Mr. Crow-
ley expects to repair her and put her in the
coastwise trade. The Fannie Palmer is a
five-masted wooden schooner, built in 1900.
in Waldoboro, Me., and is 2258 gross tons.
Mr. Jas. T. Mahoney, Boston agent of the
Atlantic Coast Marine Firemen's Union and
Third Vice-President of the International
Seamen's Union of America, has resigned
his position as agent, and Mr. John Kearns
has been elected to serve out the unexpired
term of Mr. Mahoney. Mr. Kearns is well
known among the firemen having been
serving for some time as delegate under Mr.
Mahoney.
The Lake Seamen's Union has donated
the sum of $1000 to the International Sea-
men's Union of America, for the purpose of
organizing on the Atlantic Coast, and in
consequence Mr. Benson, the General Or-
ganizer, has put on men to work in Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
A new foreign fishing vessel bill has been
passed in the Newfoundland Legislature that
is even more drastic than the bill of last
year. It forbids any alien not so entitled by '
treaty to fish in colonial waters, or any col-
onist to fish on or for any foreign vessel,
forbids any colonist to leave the colony for
the purpose of joining any foreign vessel,
forbids any colonist to lend, hire or sell any
fishing gear, and fines any craft $100 which
conveys any colonist outside colonial waters
to join foreign fishing vessels.
All this bill is aimed at the fishing indis-
try of Gloucester and Boston, and in order
to protect the fish buyers of Newfoundland,
and no one need be a professor of mathe-
matics to figure the result as far as the
fisherman himself is concerned.

The Naval Appropriation bill now before Con-
gress contains a provision appropriating $63,000
for the ' extension of wireless telegraphy on the
Pacific Coast.
The schooner Wing and Wing, sailing from San
Francisco on May 11 for Alaska, returned to port
on the 23 on account of carrying away part of her
rigging.
The steamer Indiana, Captain Harry Struve, is
daily expected to arrive at San Francisco from
Baltimore. The vessel will be operated on the
Coast by the Barneson-Hibbard Company.
United States Senator Burnham has introduced
an amendment to the bill authorizing additional
aids to navigation in the lighthouse and fog signal
on Cape Hinchinbrook, Alaska, to cost $75,000.
. The American schoner Olga, Captain Ingaard,
was totally wrecked on the windward side of the
Island of Kahoolawe, south of Maui, on May 14.
All hands were saved.
The Italian bark Speme, before reported as
having put into Montevideo in distress while
bound from Europe to the Pacific Coast, is now
reported as still at Montevideo awaiting a new
crew before resuming her voyage.
A telegram received at San Francisco states that
the British steamer Dumbarton, already reported
frozen in on the Siberian coast, had her rudder,
propeller and the structure of her after hold dam
aged. Efforts will be made to float the vessel.
The Post-Office Appropriation bill, now pend-
ing in Congress, will take care of the Oceanic
service in the manner provided by the Ship Sub-
sidy bill, which passed the Senate but apparently
is sidetracked in the House.
A letter received at San Francisco states that
the German steamer Mariechau, which was re-
ported a total loss, has been repaired and was ex-
pected to sail from Juneau on May 17. In that
case she would be due to arrive at Esquimalt,
B. C, on the 27th.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Newbury has
sent a letter to Rear-Admiral Goodrich, com-
manding the Pacific station, commending him for
the prompt and efficient measures taken by him
on the occasion of the earthquake and fire in
San Francisco, and direction by him of relief of
the sufferers.
Breaking all transpacific records for fast steam-
ing, the Seattle-Oriental liner Dakota, Captain
Emil Franke, passed Cape Flattery at 6:45 oclock
on May 25 . She made the run from Yokohama
in nine days and eleven hours. This beats all
former records by more than one day. The rec-
ord was previously held by the British steamer
Empress of India, which made the run in ten
days and a half.
Ten Chinese and five Japanese who recently ar-
rived at San Francisco on the Pacific Mail liner
Manchuria, have been found infected with
trachoma by Dr. Trotter of the Quarantine office.
A re-examination will be made of the suspects
and if the original diagnosis is confirmed the
arrivals will be sent back. Most of the infected
persons are women, many having come to meet
husbands.
The ship Hawaiian Isles, which arrived at Hon-
olulu, I. H., from Newcastle, N. S. W., has been
libeled by one of her sailors for $10,000 damages
for alleged cruelty at sea. John Soderman claims
to have been beaten by the first mate. The bark
Wilscott has also been libeled by a seaman claim-
ing $6 wages and an equal sum for alleged fail-
ure to supply proper food.
The schooner Vine, which arrived at San Fran-
cisco on May 22 from Eureka, is to take a' cargo
of provisions to the whalers which have been im-
prisoned for the winter in the North. She is
fitted out by H. Liebes, who owns an interest in
several of the frozen-in whalers, including the
steamer Alexander. It is intended to have her
arrive in the North as soon as the ice breaks up
in the spring.
In the ominbus lighthouse bill reported
from the Commerce Committee on May
25 by Senator Frye, provision is made
in the Senate amendments for the con-
struction of a light and fog signal on Red
Rock, upper San Francisco Bay, at a cost of $30,-
000. Two steam tenders costing $150,000 each are
authorized, one for the lighthouse inspector of
'the- Twelfth district and the other for service in
Ha'w'aiian an'd PaVifj'c Waiters.
Commodore Macfarlane and James F. Morgan,
representing the Hawaii Yacht Club, have
changed the point of starting the transpacific
ocean race from San Francisco to San Pedro, as
the Lurline and the Anemone are now at that
port. The schooner yacht La Paloma, which is
now lying at Tiburon, will be overhauled to find
the leaks that made their appearance shortly after
she left Honolulu, and within two weeks will sail
south.
Strict orders have been given by Chief Wharf-
inger Welch to the various wharfingers, collect-
ors and other dock employes to prevent smok-
ing on the wharves at San Francisco. A notice
prohibiting smoking was posted some weeks ago,
but of late it has been disregarded, and the fire
on Greenwich-street wharf on May 18 was the
result. Hereafter, says Chief Wharfinger Welch,
all persons caught smoking on the docks or piers
will be ejected, and will not again be allowed to
enter the property.
Chief Factor Anderson of the Hudson Bay
posts, Mackenzie River district, has left Winni-
peg, Man., on a long journey to the Arctic Circle.
The interesting part of his mission is the con-
veyance to imprisoned whalers whose homes are
in San Francisco the news of the terrible catas-
trophe which befell San Francisco. These men
are 300 in number and are on six whaling steam-
ers. They have been there two years, impris-
oned in the ice, unable to get through the passage
owing to the severity of the seasons.
Fire that broke out on the shore end of Green-
wich-street wharf No. 2, San Francisco, on May
18, threatened the destruction of that portion of
the water front for a time, but was fortunately
extinguished by a bucket brigade and the State
fire tug Governor Irwin. Chief Wharfinger
Welch attributes the cause to careless smoking
on the wharf. A lot of combustible freight, such
as matches, saltpeter and light material, had
nearly caught fire before the danger was past.
The damage to the wharf was slight.
It is reported that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company is negotiating for the purchase or char-
ter of the White Star liner Doric, of the Occi-
dental and Oriental Steamship Company, and
which has been plying between San Francisco
and the Orient for years past. The Doric has
made forty-nine voyages out of the former port,
and from the first has been a popular liner. For
the past two or three days Pacific Mail repre-
sentatives have been making a survey of the
Doric and taking inventories.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company has be-
gun in the United States Circuit Court at New
York a suit for $82,500 damages against the New-
port News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company,
alleging the shipbuilding company did not con-
struct the big transpacific liner Siberia according
to specifications. The Siberia was turned out in
November, 1902, at a cost of over $1,750,000. In
the summer of 1904 it was discovered, according
to the complaint, that she had a defective stern
post, with badly flawed steel castings.

The electric cars of a great city being run
with initial power from a steamboat is one of
the unusual things in power plant experiences ;
but this has actually been done for several
months past. Incidentally it suggests a new
source of revenue to boat owners during winter
months when steamers are tied up.
The street-car company at Baltimore, Md.,
at the opening of the past winter, had not
been able to complete its power plant which
was burned in the big fire. Business had also
increased until the cars were short of power.
A new boiler house was building but would
take all winter to complete. The shortage in
boilers was solved by securing the use of the
steamer Lord Baltimore, which was tied up to
the street-car company's dock where its power
plant is located. The steamer has about 1,500
horsepower. The Street Railway Journal says :
"To utilize the steam from the boat a 10-inch
tap was taken off from the main 10-inch header
in the boiler room of the power station, and
this tap was extended to the water edge where
the steamer is moored. The end of the 10-inch
tap is supported at the edge of the pier on
trestle work where it terminates in a 10-inch
manifold. On the ship side, supported on the
upper deck of the steamer, is a second mani-
fold 8 inches in diameter. These two steam
manifolds are connected together by a series of
flexible copper tubes to allow for the rise and
fall of the steamer with the tides, the arrange-
ment giving a maximum range of 7 feet. The
8-inch manifold on the ship is connected by a
single 8-inch header to the main steam drums
of the ship's boilers. In order to give proper
control over the auxiliary steam supply from
the boat, a 10-inch stop valve was placed in
the long tap connection just inside the station
boiler room, and to avoid any possibility of
bleeding the station boilers in the event that
the steam pressure in the ship's boilers should
drop below 200 pounds, a non-return auto-
matic valve was placed in the tap connection
near its outer end at the water edge."
BRITISH TONNAGE SOLD.
The extent to which British shipowners dis-
pose of old vessels to foreigners is shown in
statistical tables published in Lloyd's Register
of Shipping. The tonnage cleared off in this
way last year was 512,701 tons, comprising
steamers of 422,395 tons and sailing vessels
amounting to 90,306 tons. By these sales,
which are the largest since 1900, Germany ac-
quired 101,903 tons, Italy 78,671 tons, Japan
66,328 tons and Norway 59,702 tons. In ad-
dition to the second-hand tonnage transferred
to foreigners 52,464 tons were transferred
to British colonies during 1905, as compared
with 37,464 tons in 1904, 62,907 tons in 1903
and 32,603 tons in 1902. Tables which are
included in the register general's returns indi-
cate that about 18 per cent of the tonnage re-
moved from the Register because of foreign
transfer was built before 1880, nearly 43 per
cent before 1885, 62 per cent before 1890, 78
per cent before 1895 and over 90.6 per cent
before 1900.
Superintendent A. Schantz of the D. & C.
has announced that the line wants a name for
its new $1,250,000 steamer now building at the
Wyandotte shipyards and that the person who
sends in a name which is accepted will be given
a season pass good for two on the D. & C.
The name, Mr. Schantz says, must pertain to
either Michigan or Ohio and that names ol
persons are not wanted. Neither will the name
of a flbWr be aceep'tatfle.

WEDNESDAY,
- MAY 30, 1906.
WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING.
The Journal has supported the Union La-
bor party, of San Francisco, since its inception,
either by open commendation, or, where that
was not justifiable, by charitable silence. In
the first campaign of that party, in 1901. this
paper was the only one among the local press
which editorially advocated the election of
Eugene E. Schmitz as Mayor. This position
was taken upon the single ground of consist-
ency in the situation then existing, a position
which has ever since been maintained to the
fullest extent compatible with discretion, hon-
esty and civic duty. If the Journal has been
less outspoken in this connection than it might
have been, the fact may be safely ascribed, not
to any lack of fealty to "class interest," but to
the existence of circumstances in the life of
the Union Labor party which could not in
clear conscience be commended, and which
it were useless to condemn.
The circumstances of the present moment
can not be overlooked. "Silence gives con-
cert." Organized labor must speak its mind
concerning the recent acts of the Union Labor
officials, or stand charged with consent to,
and complicity in, these acts. The San Fran-
cisco Labor Council has already spoken in
unmistakable terms, as quoted on page 1 of
this issue. Thus the labor movement of the
city has by formal and official expression
absolved itself from responsibility for the
surrender of the public rights. The Union
Labor party must justify its acts by its own
reasoning; it can not do so in the name of
Labor, however potent that name may be
for ordinary purposes.
The passage of the trolley ordinance marks
the point of separation between the interests
of the Union Labor party and those of. organ-
ized labor and the public at large. The ordin-
ance in question is absolutely indefensible from
any public standpoint ; cheapness of construc-
tion and operation is its sole basis. To meas-
ure that consideration, which (reduced to its
final terms, simply spells dividends on foreign
capital and watered stock) against the lives
and property of the community, is to add insult
to injury. The manner in which the ordinance
was "put through" and the arguments ( ?)
used in its behalf, raise a serious question of
moral turpitude, if not of worse things. The
real character of the influence brought to bear
upon Mayor Schmitz and the Board of Super-
visors— whether mere cajolery or something
more substantial — is of little concern, after all.
The passage of the ordinance by which the
community has been made subject to the
avarice of a great monopoly is sufficient of it-
self to condemn those responsible for that act
upon the plain ground of incompetency.
It is significant that the Administration has
assumed a distinctly defensive attitude in the
matter. The ordinance was not advocated as
a good one, but defended upon the dual ground
of expediency and compulsion. A feeble at-
tempt was made to make it appear that the
earthquake and fire constituted a circumstance
which altered the case for the conduit system
of street-car propulsion. In the main, how-
ex er, the argument in defense of the trolley or-
dinance rested upon the desire of the public
for street-car service and the threat of the
United Railroads Company to defer the opera-
tion of its lines until the city surrendered to its
demands. Admitting the public demand for
transportation facilities, and recognizing the
threat oi the street-car monopoly as a fact, the
duty of the Administration was quite clear;
namely, to resist that threat, and thus place
upon the corporation the responsibility for ag-
gravating the misfortunes of the people. Flad
this course been pursued the corporation would
undoubtedly have capitulated. Instead, the
Administration chose the line of least resist-
ance and surrendered unconditionally, thus
saddling the city with a burden that will afflict
it long after the other effects of the recent dis-
aster have been repaired. In short, the United
Railroads Company proposed to take advan-
tage of the city's distress, and the city govern-
ment, instead of resisting that proposal, as
common manhood, not to say public pride,
would have dictated, consented to it! A more
complete and shameful abrogation of the func-
tions of government could hardly be con-
ceived. And all done in the sacred name of
Labor! Ugh!
It is said that there is no evil without its
compensation. The compensation of the evil
that has recently befallen San Francisco lies in
the disclosure made by the Union Labor party.
That party, originally the natural and inevit-
able creation of circumstances, early fell into
the hands of an unscrupulous politician, one
Abe Ruef, who has since used it to prey upon
public sentiment in favor of the legitimate
claims of the working class. From first to
last Ruef has been the whole party, and the
party's candidates have been merely so many
tools in his dexterous hands. No greater des-
potism was ever perfected by any boss than
that of this self-constituted champion and
leader of labor. Every honest and courageous
man who has been identified with the local
movement of "labor in politics" has been
forced to surrender either his honor or his
courage — or he has been forced out of the
party.
We have seen the honest man who dared to
express his convictions or gag at bit of unpal-
atable programme incontinently drummed out
of the Ruef party. Doubtless there are still
honest men in that party, but they are still
there by virtue of their willingness to keep
their own counsel. Upon the other hand, we
have seen men rise to prominence and prefer-
ment in that party upon no other merit than
that of political cunning, frequently exercised
in violation of all principles of labor and of
public conduct. From being a party of protest
against the schemes of the public exploiters,
the Union Labor party has become the mete
creature, and indeed the chief defender, of
that class. This change of front is not sur-
prising ; it is not a change of front at all. The
only difference between the Ruef of to-day and
the Ruef of last fall is one of opportunity. Our
astute "leader" has grown great upon the meat
of public support, and has long awaited the
opportunity to return to his first allegiance.
The earthquake and fire constituted that op-
portunity. Now he flaunts his perfidy before
the world, secure in the belief that his victims
are too much occupied with more immediate
concerns to make any effective protest.
Nevertheless, the Journal protests. We
protest, not against Abe Ruef, but against the
further use of the name under which that per-
son and his followers masquerade. Let them
return to their vomit! Now that they have
made their peace with THE party, let them re-
sume that party's title. Let them drop'
Labor, or take the alternative of being dropped
by Labor. Labor stands for more than the
winning of an election ; it stands for right, for
the protection and advancement of the people's
interests, as against the interests of the greedy
and unscrupulous in all classes. The Union
Labor party that stands for this is entitled to,
and will receive, the confidence and support of
all honest men. The Union Labor party that
stands for anything else is entitled to nothing
but public execration, and that, too, it will
undoubtedly receive in full measure. The
labor movement, above all other movements,
must in self-defense repudiate wrong when
committed in the name of Labor. Otherwise
the labor movement itself is doomed to repudi-
ation. The Ruef party, of San Francisco, has
been weighed and found wanting!
W< iRDS OF GOOD CHEER.
Department of Labor, Wellington, April 24, 1906.
Editor Coast Seamen's Journal: Dear Sir — 1
thank you very warmly for your kind letter and
for the copies of the Coast Seamen's Journal, sent
to me last mail; but we will let "compulsory
arbitration" stand aside awhile.
Since that date a calamity has fallen on San
Francisco that has moved the hearts of all civil-
ized nun. Here in New Zealand men of your
Own kin have felt very deeply the awful trouble
through which you have passed and even now
are passing. Words, I know, do not count for
much, but we should have been proud and pleased
if we had been allowed to make our sympathy
practical, so far as our li tie powers go. Anyway,
I should be glad for the workers of San Fran-
cisco to know that no event has ever caused such
wide-spread sympathy and grief among the work-
ers of New Zealand as the harrowing story of
what your people have had to pass through lately.
We can only hope that your city will rise re-
newed in strength and beauty from her fiery trial,
as Chicago has clone.
With all kind and good wishes of hope from
us all.
Yours faithfully,
EDW. TREGEAR,
Secretary for Labor.
The Journal assures its esteemed corre-
spondent that the sympathy extended by the
people' of New Zealand is very welcome and
will go far to lighten the affliction visited upon
San Francisco and neighboring cities. We can
also assure Secretary Tregear that the people
of New Zealand and all other countries will be
"allowed" to express their sympathy in any
manner within their means, and the more
"practical" the means the better we will like
it. The refusal to "allow" the "practical" ex-
pression of sympathy by other countries was a
"break" on the part of a certain person high
in office, and has been generally disapproved
by the people of the United States. San Fran •
cisco needs more help, and will welcome it
warmly, from whatever source — the more
warmly, perhaps, in proportion to the distance
from whence it comes.

Immigration Commissioner Sargent is re-
ported as saying: "There were 1,026,000
immigrants admitted to this country last year.
There will be 1,000,000 admitted this year. Let
them come. We want the right kind of im-
migrants." Considered by themselves, these
views are inexplicable ; considered in con-
nection with the occasion upon which they
were expressed, they are quite natural. Mr.
Sargent was addressing a missionary meet-
ing, and presumably he told that gathering
the thing it wanted to hear. Anyone who
disagrees with Mr. Sargent's views, as ex-
pressed to the missionaries, need but invite
that facile factotum to another kind of meet-
ing, and he will receive another kind of view.
Anything that's right, you know !

In last week's issue of the Journal appeared
the announcement of the death of Comrades
William Goslin and Thomas Shields, both
having been killed in the San Francisco
earthquake. These comrades were ship-
mates in the steamer Valencia when that ves-
sel was wrecked on the coast of Vancouver
Island, last January. Fate was kind, only to
be cruel !
Immigration Commissioner Sargent says
we want the "right kind" of immigrants. The
gentleman doesn't say what he means by
"right kind' ; perhaps the gentleman doesn't
know what he means ; possibly, he doesn't
mean anything. In the opinion of this in-
corrigible rag the "right kind" of immigrant
is the kind that stays at home.

San Francisco, stricken and in the dust, has
been turned over to the mercy of those who for
many years have sought to despoil her. While
the city was able to defend the public rights, the
corporation looters were kept at bay, notwith-
standing the city government has not always been
devoted to the public welfare. Now, when the
city's interests have been placed entirely in the
hands of men supposedly her very own, and when
the star of a bright destiny had risen to light the
path toward municipal government of, by and for
the municipality, the public interests are surren-
dered unconditionally! There has been an earth-
quake and conflagration, as everyone knows. But
that disaster, which might have appealed to the
forbearance, if only in shame, of the corporations,
and which certainly should have inspired a more
watchful vigilance on the part of the authorities,
would have redounded to future advantage had its
lessons been properly learned, and its opportuni-
ties properly conserved. Instead, that disaster
has been made the excuse for capitulating to the
schemes of private exploiters. The earthquake
and fire might have become a memory lightened
by good results; as it is, that event is almost cer-
tain to remain a calamitous fact, by reason of the
burdens added to it through the folly of the city's
"sleeping virgins." The year 1906 is likely to be
remembered in San Francisco chiefly as the year
in which the city passed from the people to the
plutocracy. The men who made the transfer will
be remembered as the Union Labor administra-
tion, which, having been cursed by the public ene-
mies as long as it stood for the public interests,
was first cajoled into acquiescence in the schemes
of public plunder and then complimented by the
plunderers upon its ability to "grasp the situa-
tion!" "Tempora mutantur — "

tourists cross its frozen leagues in search of
novelty such as is to be found nowhere else.
Excellent transportation facilities are now af-
forded these persons by the White and Yukon
Route which maintains a mail, passenger, ex-
press and fast freight service over the Gov-
ernment trail.
The regular route is by ocean steamer from
Puget Sound ports to Skaguay and thence
by train to White Horse. White Horse is 330
miles from Dawson and between these two
points ply wheeled vehicles in summer and
passenger sleighs in winter. The rate for
sleighing trip is $100 northbound and $75
southbound. The distance is covered in a
little less than five days, traveling only in day
time and stopping at roadhouses over night.
Accommodations at roadhouses are not in-
cluded in the passenger's ticket. These places
are well-kept, clean and comfortable. Meals
are served at $1.50 each and a bed costs $1.00
per night.
The passenger sleigh will accommodate
from nine to fourteen passengers, 1,000 lbs.
of mail and express, and 1,000 lbs. of pas-
senger baggage. Each passenger can take
25 lbs. of baggage free and must pay 30 cents
per lb. for all in excess of this amount. Big
fur robes and, in very cold weather, foot
warmers, are furnished for the passengers'
comfort. Relays of fresh horses are made
each 20 miles and every possible attempt is
made to avoid delay.
The rate for the wheeled vehicle transporta-
tion between White Horse and Dawson in the
summer is $125. Freight rates are 20, 25
and 30 cents per lb., according to class, with
a special rate for shipments exceeding 10
tons.

COLLEGE MEN ON THE LAKES.
"You would be surprised at the intelligence
and education of some of the men employed as
deckhands and watchmen on the big; Lake
boats during the open season of navigation,"
said B. R. Parker ol Cleveland. ( >.. at the St.
Louis. "Passengers on these vessels, particu-
larly on the freighters, often remark upon the
beastly and brutal appearance of the deck-
hands, not realizing that in a great many cases
this effect of brutality, ugliness and ignorance
is a result of the coal dust which is bound to
collect on anyone who works in the coal bins
and around the engines.
In numerous instances every year college
men are to be found working on the Lakes,
and as their experience on the water is limited,
they are employed in the lowest positions, such
as decking and watching. They generally try
to get in as watchmen, for that is pleasanter
than the other, and offers better pay. When
decking, their appearance is just about as bru-
tal and repulsive as that of their comrades
who never saw the inside of a schoolhouse.
I have one college graduate in mind who has
done nothing in summer time for the past
seven years hut work on the Lakes. That is
a case where college education did not do a
great deal of good, lie may change his life
later on, and get into S< mething better, but it
is rather doubtful. He first started during
vacation to get enough money to carry him
through the next term of school, never think-
ing for a moment that he would stick to the
life for any length of time.
When the next vacation came around he
went at it again, and after he left school for
good lie gol another job on a Lake boat, in-
tending to stick only until something better
turned up. Hut the life took such a hold on
him that he has never left it. Whether he will
or not remains a question. It isn't because he
hasn't ability to get into something else, for he
is une of the brightest young fellows 1 ever
knew.
I Jecking is the most disagreeable work on
a boat. While out on the Lake the deckhand
has to assist the fireman. His principal duty
is to see that a pile of coal, broken up to the
proper size, is piled within easy reach of the
fireman's shovel, and to haul out the ashes.
When the coal bunkers are full, it isn't so bad,
for lie can easily chuck down enough coal in a
few minutes to last an hour or two, hut when
they begin to get low he has to wheel the coal
in a barrow to the fire boxes, and that isn't so
pleasant."
At a banquet at the Detroit Club on May 17,
J. C. Wallace, President of the American
building Company, in responding to a
toast, made the statement that within three or
four months his company would contract to
build a steamer for the Great Lakes from 640
- feet in length over all. He did not state
v h< 1 would order the monster.
With a cargo of 9.965 tons of soft coal, the
-t amount that has ever entered Milwau-
kee, the steamer Harvey D. Goulder recently
red at the dock of the Milwaukee- We-:: -
ern Fuel Co., near Kinnickinnic bridge. The
is owned by Cleveland parties and was
named in honor of a prominent lawyer in that
city. ■ ■ - - - --
QUEEN OF WORLD'S LAKE CRAFT.
The new passenger steamer of the D. & C.
Company, Detroit, which will cosl Si._»5o,ooo
and take rank far in advance of any Lake craft
in the world.
The big ship will be aoo feet long, 54 feet
beam and 90 feet over the guards, and 22 feet
depth of hold. She will be propelled by three
cylinder compound engines of 7,000 indicated
horsepower, turning feathering paddle wheels.
The steamer will he supplied with eight cylin-
drical boilers and the craft will have a speed
of twenty miles per hour. Between her decks
can be stored 1 10 car loads of freight, while
her passenger excursion limit will be 4,500 per-
sons.
The amount of material needed to construct
and equip such a ship is of interest. In the
building of the double hull, for there is a
water bottom, 4,000,000 pounds of steel plate,
angles, beams and rivets will be used. 700,000
rivets alone being required. Of wood, 1,600,-
000 feet of oak, pine, mahogany and other
varieties will be needed. The joiner work will
take 3,400 pounds of nails while 21-2 miles
of steam pipes will be placed. Wireless tele-
graph and 1,600 electric lights are included
in the electrical equipment.
A special feature of interest is the big steady-
ing tanks with a capacity of 100 tons of water
ballast. This ballast will be used during heavy
seas and prevent rocking and pitching. This
is the same system which is used on battleships
to hold them steady while firing heavy guns.
Other novel features are the passenger ele-
vators, open fireplaces, and private verandas
opening from the parlors. These verandas
have the same privacy and seclusion as does a
veranda at home.
President Schiller, of the National Tube
Company, stated recently that the company
would spend $500,000 in improving its docks
at Lorain, or about the same amount as was
spent last year. He said when complete the
docks would have double their present capac-
ity, and would he one of the fastest on the
smith shore of the Lakes. Mr. Schiller said
the Lorain plant is producing 1,000 tons of tub-
ing per day, or about 30 per cent more than
was anticipated.
It is reported that the Steel Trust is prepar-
ing to rush all its boats to Ashtabula so far as
they can he handled. This will give that port
its record-breaking year. Local docks are to
he worked night and day. The board of pub-
lic service has considered the appointment of
two harbor masters on account of the incn
traffic. In one day recently 864 cars were load-
ed on the Lake Shore docks at that place which
nearly breaks the record.
Bids were opened recently at Detroit to*
dredging Round Island Shoals, St. Marys
River. The lowest bidders were: Shoal 1, M.
Sullivan, Detroit. 21 1-2 cents cubic yard; 2,
Lake Erie Dredging Company, 49 cents yard
The sum of $53,000 is available for the work.
The first iron ore cargo ever shipped from
Escanaba to go north through the Soo pas-
was taken out on May 14 by the Cana-
dian steamer Leafield. It went to Sault Stc.

COMPASS CORRECTION.
The recent departure from Washington, D.
C, of Commander Reginald Nicholson, assist-
ant chief of the equipment bureau, for Cleve-
land ( >hio, inaugurates a new work of much
importance to Lake navigation. For years
past there have been many complaints by Lake
shipmasters of erratic behavior of their com-
passes, upon which the safety of their ships
depends in thick and bad weather. Cargoes of
iron ore and metals capable of affecting the
magnetic needles were undoubtedly at the bot-
tom of some of these complaints, but it was
realized by navigators that natural conditions
were often causing variations of the compass,
and that it might be possible to reduce the
evils arising from such causes. Therefore the
Lake Carriers' Association and the Pittsburg
Steamship Company and other influential or-
ganizations interested in Lake commerce have
called upon the Xavy Department to aid them.
Accordingly Commander Nicholson goes out
to the Lakes with the primary purpose of set-
ting up prominent marks in proper places so
that the masters of passing ships may check off
any error in their compasses and make the
necessary adjustments. He will take with
him the necessary instruments to establish
"true north" at these marked sites and call
upon the nearest branch hydrographic offices
for any needed help. It is the present purpose
to erect such marks on the banks of the St.
Clair River and in the Straits of Mackinaw,
which will afford opportunity to make com-
pass corrections to all shipping passing be-
tween the three Great Lakes of Michigan,
Superior and Huron. Officers at the branch
hydrographic offices will be instructed to as-
sist any shipmaster in adjusting his compasses
when they are found through observation of
the marks to be out of order.
The schooner Armenia, which foundered on
Lake Erie in the early part of .May, has been
accepted by the underwriters as a total loss,
and no effort will be made to save the vessel.
It is possible that something may be done later
this summer to take out the cargo. The same-
is true of the schooner Algeria, which sank in
the same storm. There is but twelve or fifteen
feet of water over the deck, and wrecking
companies say they can get the vessel afloat.
Underwriters are inclined to believe that after
getting the craft up it will not be worth the
cost of wrecking operations. The iron ore
cargo of the Algeria is worth about $1 1,000,
and later in the season will be pumped out in
scows.
Capt. James Reid, who contracted with the
Government to remove the wreck of the tug
Fannie Tuthill from the channel in Lake St.
Clair.reports to Col. C. E. L. B. Davis, I nited
States District Engineer, that the work has
been completed. The government will now
sweep the spot to ascertain if the proper depth
is there.
An investigation of the wreck of the
schooner Algeria, lying off the Cleveland har-
bor, was made recently by Captain C. E. Ben-
ham and the underwriters. The reports fol-
lowing this investigation were to the effect that
the schooner is breaking up, and it is possible
uidl sue will Uc uuauuuiicu as a. (.caul wicck.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
GERMANY IN ASIA MINOR.
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
German commercial interests in Asia Minor
date from the beginning of the present Em-
pire. Prior to that time but few people of
German nationality ever found their way to
the Euphrates valley, much less to establish
trading posts in that country for the purpose
of bartering with the native Arabs. To what
extent this has all changed is fully and. com-
prehensively shown by the German Bagdad
Railway enterprise, which is practically being
financed, built, and managed by capitalists in
this Empire. The German Government has
done much to encourage and support com-
mercial enterprises in Asia Minor generally.
In 1894 a German consulate was established in
Bagdad. The excavation expeditions sent to
Babylon and Assur have also done much to
make the natives acquainted with the push and
organization of the German people. Not very
long ago the Turkish Government appointed
a commission consisting of three German ex-
perts to explore and examine the oil fields of
Mesopotamia.
Such enterprise on the part of German
residents in a country which is acknowledged
to be exceedingly rich, and replete with vast
opportunities in connection with cotton, grain,
oil, fruit, etc., will unquestionably lead to the
establishment of large German agricultural
colonies in the vicinity of the cities and sta-
tions along the Bagdad route, similar to the
one which has been so prosperous at Jaffa in
Palestine. It may not be a generally known
fact, but it is true nevertheless, that there are
already a number of exclusive German col-
onies scattered over Asia Minor, engaged
chiefly in gardening, which are as thriving as
any colony of the same race situated in Brazil,
or any part of Russia, and which to-day form
such valuable assets to those countries.
It is claimed by many persons in Germany
that if a good part of the surplus population
could be diverted to Minor and Anterior Asia,
the field for emigration and colonization would
be happily chosen for the reason that the Ger-
man would never assimilate with the Turk or
Arab, therefore the colonies would remain
German in sentiment, and not sacrifice their
nationality as has been the case in the United
States, South America, and the English col-
onies, by becoming citizens of those countries.
There is something in this argument, and un-
doubtedly true is the fact that such colonies
are destined to play an important part in the
expansion of German commerce in Asiatic
countries.
Captain Tim Haggerty, Engineer Robert
W. Simpson, and Fireman Michael Sasso, of
the tug Thomas Wilson, of Ashtabula, who
rescued the crew of the barge Yukon, off Ash-
tabula Harbor in 1905, have been recognized
by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission.
Captain Haggerty gets a medal and $1,200,
Mr. Simpson and Sasso a medal and $500 each.
In offering congratulations, the sure thing is
that these brave men had no thought of reward
when they risked their lives so bravely for sea-
men in distress. All praise to them !
In the Circuit Court at Port Huron Judge
Law has refused the application of Fred J.
Dunford to have a receiver appointed for the
Port Huron Shipbuilding Company. The
property wos sold to Fred T. Moore, a brother-
in-law of Sidney Jenks, president of the com-
pany, for $20,250. And it is understood that
the drydock will be rebuilt and put in first-class
shape..
G. J. N. Rogers, of the Local Government
Board of London, has issued a special article
on local government in Germany, compiled
with exhaustive fullness. The following ex-
tract states the attitude of Germany toward the
much-vexed problem of municipal trading:
In most of the large towns the gas, water,
markets, and electricity undertakings are
owned and managed by the legal authorities.
As regards tramways, German towns are not
quite so advanced as towns in England, but it
is the evident intention of the communal bodies
generally to obtain possession of that import-
ant means of communication whenever the op-
portunity offers. In addition to the undertak-
ings mentioned, all towns of any size have
their own savings banks, and most of them
carry on the business of pawnbrokers. A large
majority, too, possess municipal theaters and
concert halls. A few own quarries ; one (Gor-
litz) engages in the manufacture of bricks and
tiles, owns a coal mine, and manufactures arti-
ficial stone. In connection with the ownership
of communal forests, several towns deal in
timber for building purposes and the supply of
fuel. Harbors, docks, quays, and wharves are
also owned by the various towns.
In the opinion of many of its opponents,
municipal trading should not be conducted
witli a view to profits. In Prussia this ques-
tion is settled by t he law. Section 3 of the
Communal Taxation Law provides that "com-
mercial undertakings of the communes shall
be administered upon the principle that the
income raised shall suffice at least to meet the
whole of the expenditure arising from the
communal undertaking, inclusive of interest
and reduction of the invested capital. An ex-
ception is admissible so far as the undertaking
serves at the same time a public need which is
not otherwise met." The latter part of the
provision refers to waterworks, markets, and
similar undertakings ; but these concerns are,
as a general rule, to be so managed that no loss
shall fall on the local taxes.

evening of April 29, at Webster Hall. In
opening the meeting Miss Dreier pointed out
that the hope for all workers — and the hope
for the working woman was the center of the
discussion for the evening — lies in unity. For-
eign-born workers, she urged, must learn that
they will secure decent sanitary conditions, fair
wages and good hours, only with the backing
of a strong labor organization. American
workers must learn to join forces with these
newcomers if they would secure these same
things rather than have to compete unsuc-
cessfully with new industrial recruits, foreign
born and willing to accept lower standards.
Airs. Harriet Stanton Blatch discussed vig-
orously how far is true the charge that women
are the stumbling block in improving indus-
trial conditions. She quoted damaging ad-
jectives from the report of an English labor
commission which had found the women work-
ers "untrained." "inefficient," "always ready to
accept low wages, long hours," "never wanting
to get on," "no concentration," "no self-re-
spect," "no self-reliance," "always ready to
hang on to some one else," in a word "no
grit."
"The trouble is," said Mrs. Blatch, "that the
world has taught us to hold ourselves that
way, but the world is beginning to change its
opinion of marriage and the home ; to demand
character there. It is in the labor union that
the working woman can get the training that
will make her not only a good worker but a
decent, self-respecting wife and mother. * * *
We think that we can work and earn wages
without putting anything into the trade. Only
now are we beginning to see our responsi-
bilities for the future ; that it is still our trade
when we leave it."
This idea was carried further by Gertrude
Barnum, National Organizer of the League,
who said :
"Women are individuals. When they get
rid of this everlasting superstition that they
are only wives and daughters and sweet-
hearts of men, they will begin to see life as
individuals. They would want to be home-
makers still, but they will be ready to really
make homes. They would protest against
tenement conditions and they would fight
against child labor. Who is the real mother?
She who has found some of the real paths
of life and is going to put her children's feet
in those paths. As a worker herself she will
stand out for those conditions in the work-
ing world which will mean for her children
something other than hours and pay and
sweating which crush out of life so much that
is precious. Sometimes I feel that only an
earthquake can make the women of the well-
to-do see what working conditions in New
York, such as those we find in Brownsville,
are costing the race. I sometimes feel that
they must work as the cooks work, from early
in the morning until ten at night before their
imagination will see what these things mean."
Mrs. Mary Wolders, of the Cigarmakers'
Union, Mr. Campbell, of Typographical
Union No. 6, and William Edlin, editor of The
Capmakers Journal, spoke of organization, the
label, and strike methods. Samuel Gompers,
President of the American Federation of
Labor, presided. A year ago Mr. Gompers
had expressed the view that the League might
become merely a fad among women of what
he called the "pink note type." What has been
accomplished during the year has given him
assurance that it is an organization "not in-
tended to be petted and coaxed, but to place
women in a position where they can help them-
selves." Mr. Gompers' utterance might indeed
have been construed as a plea for still another
organization — one to keep heedless employers
out of what churchmen have called the "place
of departed spirits." "I can never forgive so-
ciety for the wrong it has done and is doing,"
he declared, "to the young and innocent ex-
ploited in textile mills or the coal mines or
other industries. I have nothing but con-
tempt for him who prays once a week for the
salvation of women and children and the rest
of the week preys on them. We want some-
thing not only in the sweet-by-and-by, but
something in the bitter now. I don't believe
that the Kingdom of Heaven will ever be at-
tained by men who exploit the labor of chil-
dren, and I believe that we should set about
energetically to make them realize this." —

GERMAN SEAMEN'S DISPUTE.
In connection with the seamen's strike
which has inconvenienced considerably Ham-
burg shipping, it now appears that owing to
the agitation fostered by the Social Demo-
cratic Seemannsverband, the struggle has de-
viated from its economic character to assume a
purely political aspect. The Hamburger Beit-
rage gives interesting data on the amelioration
brought by the Hamburg-American Line in
the working conditions of its seamen. Thus
in 1896 the monthly wage of carpenters was
80 marks and 90 marks on express steamers ;
that of boatswains 70 marks and 80 marks ; of
seamen 55 marks; of boys 15 marks, of fire-
men 60 marks and of trimmers 40 to 50 marks.
In 1897 the pay of firemen was increased to 65
marks and 70 marks for the second year's
service ; that of leading trimmers advanced to
55 marks and 60 marks the second year and
that of ordinary trimmers to 45 marks. More-
over, an annual bonus of 100 marks was
granted carpenters and botswains of express
and class P steamers. In 1898 an all-round
augmentation of 5 marks was granted by the
company and overtime paid at the rate of 0.40
mark per hour. In 1900 another increase of
5 marks was granted, thus bringing the pay of
carpenters to 80-95 marks, that of boatswains
to 80-90 marks, of able-seamen to 65 marks
and 70 marks the second year, of ordinary
seamen to 35-40 marks and of boys to 15
marks. The pay of firemen was raised to 75-
85 marks and 80-90 marks after one year's
service, that of leading trimmers to 65-70
marks and of trimmers to 50 marks. This last
scale was maintained during the adverse years
which affected the shipping industry and
again raised by 5 marks at the beginning of
April, so that the pay of sailors during the last
ten years was raised 25 per cent and that of
stokers 33 per cent. The Hamburg journal
adds that if the advance granted shore em-
ployes represents but compensation for the
constantly increasing cost of living, the ad-
vance in seamen's wages is a net gain to the
seafaring class, considering that hardly 18
per cent are married. The company's ex-
penses in connection with employes' funds,
such as insurance against sickness, accident,
incapacity, old-age pensions, etc., have in-
creased during the past three years from 439,-
000 marks to 530,000 marks.

GAS-ENGINES FOR LARGE VESSELS.
The explosion-motor, using gas or gasoline,
has had such remarkable success in connection
with the development of automobiles and
motor-boats that it is natural to inquire
whether it may not be destined to wider and
more important use. Sir William White, the
British authority on naval construction, has
recently stated his belief that these motors are
to play a most important part in marine en-
gineering, and on April 5, in a paper on "Gas-
engines for Ship Propulsion," J. E. Thorney-
croft, of the well-known boiler firm, indorsed
this opinion before the Institution of Naval
Architects (British), giving details of recent
adaptations of the engines to such propulsion.
In the discussion aroused by Mr. Thorney-
croft's paper Professor Capper spoke of the
subject as "one of the most important that had
been brought up for many years," and said that
although from his own early education and
predilection he favored the steam-engine, yet
he believed that many of those present would
"live to see the reciprocating steam-engine
an archaic machine, crushed out between the
gas-engine and the turbine." In driving a boat
of any considerable size with an explosion-
motor, we are told by Mr. Thorneycroft,
hardly more than the principle of action re-
mains the same, the details of the machinery
for producing the combustible gas or vapor,
and of that for utilizing it, being entirely dif-
ferent from those of the smaller-powered
motors with which we are familiar. He says,
for instance :
"The one great disadvantage of the internal-
combustion engine is the necessity of setting
the engine in motion before it will run auto-
matically. For powers less than 200 horse-
power it is preferable to employ a reversing
gear, keping the engine always running in the
same direction, or to use a reversing propeller.
Compressed air is being employed for starting
up large engines ; and when once the engine is
fitted in this way, the valve-gear for running
the engine in either direction does not amount
to very much.
"For moderae powers a single-acting engine
with a trunk piston is found most convenient,
as the piston does not require to be water-
cooled, until one as much as about 2 feet in
diameter is employed. A single cylinder of
20-inch diameter and 2-foot stroke, running at
120 revolutions per minute, will give about
100 horse-power, taking the average working
pressure at about 80, which is less than the
figure often obtained.
"The same-sized cylinder, working as a
double-acting cylinder, would, of course,
double the horse-power ; but, besides the addi-
tional valves, which must be an exact dupli-
cate of those required for a single-acting en-
gine, there is the complication of the water-
cooled piston rod. This at first sight will ap-
pear somewhat serious to the marine engineer,
but when the very large number of engines of
this design which are working on land are
considered — the regularity with which they
are run, and the little attention they require —
it will be agreed that there does not seem any
reason why they should not meet with success
at sea."
The first vessel fitted with a gas-engine and
producer to run in the open sea was the Emil
Capitaine, named for her inventor, a French
engineer, regarding whose performances on
her trial in the Solent last summer the writer
says:
"The official report of the trials shows that
this boat of 16-ton displacement ran at an
average speed of 10 miles per hour for 10
hours, on a consumption of 412 pounds of an-
thracite coal. This consumption also includes
the fuel which was consumed by the producer
during the previous twelve hours, when it was
not in active operation, but simply smoldering
and keeping itself alight."
Besides this boat many tugs and similar ves-
sels are now being run by gas-engines on Con-
tinental inland waters, including large river
barges of 200-ton carrying capacity and vari-
ous canal-boats. Engines of 500 horse-power,
and others of 1,000 horse-power, for marine
use, are now building in England, and a 7,000-
ton cargo steamer, now under construction, is
to be run in this way, it being calculated that
the use of gas-engines in her will save 13,000
cubic feet of cargo space. The advantages of
gas-motors are many and obvious. The ne-
cessity for stopping at intervals for cleaning,
which could not well be done at sea, is said to
have been obviated to a considerable extent.
Says the writer, as reported in Engineering:
"It appears that there are many engines of
250 to 400 horsepower per cylinder running
regularly every week from Monday morning
to Saturday afternoon without a stop. The
Premier Gas-engine Company give an instance
of an engine which has made a run of fifty-
one days without a stop, the previous run
being forty-nine days without a stop of any
kind.
From the various physical changes which
take place within the cylinder of an in.ternal-
combustion engine it is evident that it can
not well compete with the steam-engine so
far as continuous running without cleaning
and adjustments are concerned; but, from re-
sults that are being obtained in every-day use,
it is submitted that the reliability is now so
good there need be no hesitation in adopting
them on this account."
The advance that has been made in building
large explosion-motors for marine use will
appear sufficiently from the fact, stated by
Mr. Thorneycroft, that two years ago, in a
paper on gas-engines, he was able to give
no facts at all regarding their marine use, Mr.
Capitaine having just begun his experiments.
Now there appears to be a wide future before
them along this line. — Literary Digest.
SWITZERLAND BY STEAMER.
The United States cruiser Columbia arrived
at League Island, Pa., recently, after an un-
successful search for derelicts reported at vari-
ous points along the Atlantic Coast. The
cruiser was not sent out purposely to search
for these dangers to navigation, but received
orders by wireless after leaving Key West on
May 5 to pick up and destroy any submerged
wrecks passed on the run up the Coast. On
May 11 the steamship El Monte, from New
Orleans for New York passed the cruiser in
the vicinity of Cape Hatteras. The Columbia
was then in quest of a derelict reported last
seen in that vicinity. The cruiser put in to
Hampton Roads later, and then sailed for
League Island. Off the Virginia coast the
cruiser kept a sharp lookout for the derelict
schooner Louise Hastings, but was unable to
locate the dangerous wreck. The Hastings
had been reported more than a dozen times
by vessels trading between Philadelphia and
New York and Southern ports. The schooner
has been a menace to navigation since last
winter, when she fell a victim to one of the
terrific storms that swept the Atlantic Coast
A ship canal through Europe from north to
south, involving an Alpine tunnel as a petty
detail, would appear to be a somewhat ex-
tensjve contract, yet it is actually being talked
about, we are told by a writer in Cosmos.
The project is nothing less than to make
Romanshorn, on the shore of Lake Constance,
a seaport, and of the lake itself a terminal
basin for transatlantic steamers. A canal 26
feet deep between Rotterdam and Lake Con-
stance would enable vessels of 8,000 tons to
reach Romanshorn. This canal need be dug
only from Lake Constance to Mayence, since
from Mayence to Rotterdam the Rhine is
amply deep. The expense on Swiss territory
would be $65,000,000, but from Basel to Rot-
terdam the cost would be greater. It would,
however, be met in part by the exploitation of
electric energy, about a million and a half
horse-power being available between Roman-
shorn and Mayence. The project is depend-
ent upon the tunneling of the Splugen. We
read further :
"This giant canal, north of the Alps, would
be supplemented by another one 5.5 meters (18
feet) deep, from Lake Como to the Po. . . .
This would cost 100 to 120 million francs
($20,000,000 to $24,000,000).
The result would be the transportation to
the center of Europe, by way of Splugen, of
all goods coming from Asia and Australia
via Suez Canal. The promoters calculate that
the utilization of the motive power thus ob-
tained would save Switzerland more than a
million tons of coal a year.
As the Rhine is not of sufficient volume to
assure permanent navigation on the Rotter-
dam-Constance Canal, it is intended eventu-
ally to use the water of the lakes of Neuchatel,
Bienne, Lucerne, and Zug, connecting them
by a very short canal from Kussnacht to Im-
mensee. . . .
The plan is a bold one, but when we reflect
that without the eventual tunneling of the
Splugen these two fine canals will be only cul-
de-sac, and that a steamer would take more
time to go from Rotterdam to Romanshorn
than to cross the Atlantic, we may await the
execution of the great project with tranquility
of mind." — Literary Digest.

The employes of the Magiana Rail-
, road, which serves the principal cof-
fee districts in the state of San Paulo,

| ney (Australia) Labor Council re-
cently asked Premier Caruthers to

ting a toal of £29,816 as compensa-
tion for members injured by acci-
dents, and also recovered back wages

Premier Seddon has informed the
New Zealand railway men that be-
sides manufacturing its own locomo-
tives the Government was considering

and fish shops in order to squelch the
combines which kept up the prices of
food.
Some of the building trade employ-
ers at Townsville, Queensland, have
decided to take l/2A. per hour off the
wages of employes in order to cover
their own risks under the Workers'
Compensation Act. The whole cost
of insurance will not amount to a
quarter of the sum deducted.
Thousands of unemployed persons
of both sexes recently marched to
Hyde Park, London, Eng., where
James Keir Hardie and George Nic-
oll Barnes, Labor party members of
Parliament, presided at meetings.
Resolutions urging the Government
to provide work were adopted.
The Slovo, of St. Petersburg, says
that instead of being released as an-
nounced, M. Krustaleff, President of
the Executive Committee of the
Workmen's Council, who was ar-
rested in St. Petersburg on Decem-
ber last during the general strike, has
been transported to Sveaborg Fort-
ress, Finland.
The British House of Lords on May
l7> by 96 to 24 votes, rejected the sec-
ond reading of the bill to prohibit the
entrance into Great Britain of aliens
to take the place of British workmen
during trade disputes. The measure
had previously passed all stages in
the House of Commons without dis-
cussion.
In order to evade their liabilities
under the Workers' Compensation
Act, a Brisbane (Queensland) con-
trolled Gympie mine company (New
Home Rule and Hilton) had the au-
dacity to deduct 2s. per week from the
wages of engine-drivers and 5s. per
week from two of the miners who had
been getting £2 10s. To their credit
the miners affected refused to take
the cut and struck.

thirteen miners rescued after being
entombed in the Courrieres colliery,
France, for three weeks, have had the

ferred upon them, and gold medals
were awarded the remaining eleven
miners. The leader of the German
rescue party has received, the Order
of Chevelier of the Legion of Honor,
and his mates were presented with
gold medals.
A. C. Hayden, representing the Car-
negie Steel Company, opposed the
National Eight-Hour Bill before the
House Committee on Labor, on May
22. He said the enactment of the
measure would drive every large in-
stitution now taking Government
contracts from that field, would turn
over the manufacture of supplies of
the Government to the small contrac-
tor, and would increase the cost of the
same to the Government from 12^ to
25 per cent.
A deputation representing the Syd-
ney (Australia) unemployed recently
told the Lord Mayor that at the
present time there were at least 20,-
000 men in New South Wales either
only casually at work or totally un-
employed. In support of their state-
ment they produced reports from offi-
cials of a number of Sydney unions,
showing that at least 8,000 men were
idle in Sydney alone. The Mayor
gave an evasive answer to their re-
quest for "assistance in a movement
whereby employment might be found
without disturbing existing interests."
A deputation representing the trade-
unions registered under the New
South Wales Arbitration Act has
submitted to Premier Carruthers
twelve distinct amendments the work-
ers desired in the Act. These included
the exclusion of the legal fraternity
from the Court, except by consent of
both parties, and the extension of the
act's provisions to domestic servants.
The deputation explained that the
trade-unionists were as strongly as
ever in favor of the principles em-
bodied in the act, but complained
that recent Court judgments had
made the measure useless, as employ-
ers had found legal means of render-
ing the law inoperative. The Premier
said he wanted to consult his col-
leauges before giving a definite reply,.

A strike of the Brotherhood of
Painters, which has 7,000 members in
New York City, was begun on May 21.
The women typists employed by
the Brisbane (Queensland) City
Council have had their wages increas-
ed.
Two hundred and fifty delegates at-
tended the eleventh annual convention
of the American Federation of Musi-
cians, which opened in Faneuil Hall,
Boston, Mass., on May 21.
The Sydney (New South Wales)
Tailors' Union has secured an exten-
sion of the Arbitration Court's award
for thirty-one days, with the right
to move for a further extension.
The New South Wales Employers'
Federation has decided to meet repre-
sentatives of the Sydney Trades and
Labor Council in open conference
to discuss desirable amendments in

urging the exclusion from the United
States of all forms of Mongolian
labor.
Alexander Berkman, who attempted
to assassinate H. C. Frick during the
Homestead strike, in 1892, was re-
leased from prison on May 18, after
having been incarcerated for four-
teen years.
Large numbers of anthracite coal
miners have not returned to work,
and operators have appealed to the
union officers for men to run the
mines. There is said to be dissatis-
faction because no concessions were
made.
The Women's Industrial Council
in England has in its ranks an Asso-
ciation of Professional Charwomen.
These workers are taught from year
to year the latest methods of polish-
ing and cleaning and knocking down
cobwebs.
The Queensland Government has
appointed a Royal Commission to in-
quire into the question of the avail-
ability of white labor for the sugar
industry, in view of the compulsory
exodus of Kanakas at the end of this
year.
Albert Judd, representing the Ha-
waiian Planters' Association, has ar-
rived at Manila, P. I., for the purpose
of negotiating with the Philippine
Commission with a view to inducing
Filipino families to work on Hawaiian
sugar plantations.
After discussing for three days the
proposition to amalgamate with the
pulp makers and sulphite workers of
America, the International Brother-
hood of Paper-makers has decided to
leave the matter with the American
Federation of Labor.
All shop employes of the Pensyl-
ania Railroad were recently ordered
.pon full time by General Manager
Atterbury. The order will bring
good cheer to more than 10,000 men
whose wages were reduced by the
threatened strike in the anthracite
field.
A South Brisbane (Queensland)
court recently ordered a man to pay
a woman £13 and costs for work
done as a domestic servant. The
privilege of "getting the law on the
boss" is one of the few things that
separates the modern domestic from
the feudal domestic serf.
A representative meeting of the
Sydney (New South Wales) unem-
ployed recently passed the following
motion: "That in the opinion of this
meeting of citizens it is absolutely
necessary that a public agitation
should be inaugurated with the object
of dealing with the problem of un-
employment."
The Structural Building Trades Al-
liance, in convention at St. Louis, Mo.,
on May 24, voted to-day to admit the

completing an organization which in-
cludes every trade employed in im-
portant works, such as the building of
skyscrapers and other large struc-
tures.

nn May 25, adopted resolutions con-
demning the administration of that

ance granting the United Railroads
Company the privilege of erecting a
permanent overhead trolley system on
all the streets previously served by
cable cars.
The Supreme Court of the United
States on May 21 decided the case of
L. Holmes vs. the Santa Fe Railroad
against the company. This was a
claim for damage sustained by
Holmes,, who was an engineer on the
road, in a collision near Franconia, A.
T., in 1 901. The lower courts awarded
the unusual sum of $9000 and the rail-
road company appealed the case.
The Christchurch (N. Z.) tramway
employes are discontented over the
adoption of what is known as the
merit and demerit system, under
which motormen and conductors are
subject to the active control of in-
spectors. The men also object to ap-
pointments of certain inspectors and
private "d's" to inspect the inspect-
ors.
Marion Raisch and L. G. Hum-
phrey, officers of the local Carpenters'
Union, at Peoria, 111., have been in-
dicted for conspiracy. It is alleged
that they sent a letter to the Wahl-
feldt Manufacturing Company assess-
ing it $500 for employing woodwork-
ers on improvements in the plant in-
stead of carpenters. An attempt was
made to establish a boycott of the
building contractors by similar meth-
ods.
The Sydney (New South Wales)
Labor Council has decided to ask the
Premier to instruct inspectors to visit
shipping in port to insure perfect
cleanliness of forecastles, and see that
sanitary conditions are observed.
Representatives of the Seamen's
Union stated that no attempt was
made to observe the ordinary laws
of cleanliness in the forecastles of
some coastal and inter-State vessels
while in port. The position, they
said, was most unsatisfactory.
The French official journal publish-
es the method decided upon for the
distribution of the relief funds to the
sufferers from the Courrieres mining
disaster, which now total about $1,-
200,000. The money will be equally
1 divided among the nearly 5000 wid-
1 ows, orphans and dependent relatives
of the deceased or injured miners.
, Former President Loubet has taken
I an active part in the arrangement.
Fifty Dunedin (New England) tail-
oresscs were recently locked-out for
refusing to comply with a portion of
the Arbitration Court's award. The
award allows employers to pull down
the wages of those who are receiving
over the minimum wage, and the em-
ployers ordered 116 tailoresses to
make application to be under-rated,
or be discharged. Fifty competent
tailoresses refused, and were locked-
out. Their union is standing loyally
by the award, but is asking for sup-
port for the gallant fifty, on the
ground that they are acting in the
interests of every trade-unionist.

Henry Clay Trumbull. — In his
biography of the late Henry Clay
Trumbull, proprietor of the Sunday-
School Times, Mr. Philip Howard
affords us some glimpses of the coun-
try and a few of its celebrities during
the last half of the nineteenth cen-
tury.
As a boy Trumbull numbered
among his friends Whistler, the artist
— "bright, cheerful, and modest —
strange as this may seem," who at
the age of nine watched young Trum-
bull's ordinary amateur drawing with
the greatest interest and almost tim-
idly showed him an off-hand pencil
sketch of his own. He was delighted
with the unstinted praise of his older
boy friend, who saw at once that it
was a work of genius.
Trumbull's Sunday-school training
began early. On explaining to his
pupils that the little boys in a picture
were about to be drowned by the cap-
sizing of their boat, because it was
Sunday, a longshore pupil indignantly
protested: "Why don't the plaguey
fool ease off his main sheet?"
During the latter part of the Civil
War Trumbull acted as chaplain, and
was so little like the traditional chap-
lain that he marched side by side with
his men, lived with them, was with
them in line of battle exposed to
death, and rallied them when they fal-
tered. When taken prisoner near
Charleston he was so little like a
clergyman in dress and appearance
that Beauregard refused to exchange
him, because he believed that he was
a spy in masquerade. As many of the
soldiers would not attend service be-
cause they did not believe that ex-
temporaneous preaching was the real
thing, he had to write his sermons,
not infrequently when bullets were
whistling about him and bombs burst-
ing near. In these ways, he learned
so well how to manage men and to
defy death that he was subsequently
able to penetrate the Syrian Desert,
and establish the lost site of Kadesh-
Barnea, whose rock, according to the
narrative, when struck by Moses,
gushed forth with water.
Trumbull was on such friendly
terms with Grant that when he is-
sued a Philadelphia Centennial copy
of his paper, Grant wrote the follow-
ing message: "My advice to Sunday-
schools, no matter what their denom-
ination, is: Hold fast to the Bible as
the sheet-anchor of your liberties;
write its precepts in your hearts, and
practice them in your lives. To the
influence of this book are we indebted
for all the progress made in true civ-
ilization, and to this we must look as
our guide in the future. Righteous-
ness exalteth a nation; but sin is a
reproach to any people."
Toward the close of his second ad-
ministration, Grant thus reviewed, in
a private conversation with Trumbull,
the criticisms of his public career:
"I don't wonder that people differ
with me, and that they think I am not
doing the best that could be done. I
can understand how they blame me
for a lack of knowledge or judgment.
But what hurts me is to have them
talk as if I didn't love my country
and wasn't doing the best I know
how. It was just that way in war-
time. I didn't do as well as might
have been done. A great many times
I didn't do as well as I was trying to
do. Often I didn't do as well as I
expected to do. But I had my plans
and was trying to carry them out.
They called me 'fool' and 'butcher.'
They said I din't know anything and
hadn't any plans. But I kept on and
kept on, and by and by Richmond was
taken, and I was at Appomattox
Court House, and then they couldn't
find words enough to praise me. I
suppose it will be so now. In spite
of mistakes and failures I shall keep
at it. By and by we'll have specie
payments resumed, reconstruction
will be complete, good feeling will be
restored between North and South;
we shall be at Appomattox again, and
then I suppose they'll praise me."
Trumbull was once present in Gov-
ernor Burnside's parlor at Providence,
R. I., when a crowd outside were call-
ing on Grant for a speech, while he
only bowed his acknowledgments.
"You know," said the Governor, "that
the President doesn't make speeches."
"Oh, do say just two words to us,"
cried a voice from the crowd.
"I won't,' said Grant in a firm tone,
doing what he was asked, but no
more.
At one time Trumbull entertained
the American Oriental Society and
gave them an Oriental welcome.
Syrians in native costume proffered
them iced sherbet, poured water on
their hands from a tankard, wiped
their hands on towels with which
they were girded, and greeted them
with droning music from a pipe play-
ed through the nostrils.
"What's that?" asked Wayne Mac-
Veagh.
"The shepherd's pipe," said Trum-
bull, "played in David's day."
"Don't wonder Saul threw a jave-
lin at him," said MacVeagh.
No Returns. — When a young wo-
man attempted to coquet with Ezra
Trumbull, or to draw a compliment
from him, she was sure to have what
Mr. Trumbull himself called "up-hill
work."
"My brother Fred has a sore throat;
he's had it for nearly a. week," said
Miss Minetta Green, whom Ezra was
solemnly escorting home from the
social evening. "If it hadn't been for
that," she added, with a slanting
glance from under her broad hat to-
ward Mr. Trumbull's impassive fea-
tures, "I'd not have had to trouble
you to see me home, Mr. Ezra."
"What we need in this town,' said
her companion, "is another doctor
and a spryer one. The way trifling
little ills linger on under Doc Wil-
liams is enough to drive folks crazy."
— Youth's Companion.
April First. — The old master knew
all about "cribbing' as a schoolboy,
and had not forgotten the little tricks
and dodges. One day during an ex-
amination the keen-eyed teacher ob-
served one of his pupils take out his
watch every minute or two. The ped-
agogue grew suspicious. Finally he
strode slowly down the aisle and
stopped in front of Willie's desk.
"Let me see your watch," he com-
manded.
"Yes, sir,' was the meek reply.
The teacher opened the front of the
case. He looked somewhat sheepish
when he read the single word
"Fooled." But he was a shrewd man.
He was not to be thrown off the
scent so easily. He opened the back
of the case. Then he was satisfied.
There he read, "Fooled again." —

WITH THE WITS.
That's Fun. — "You know, they say
'all the world loves a lover,' " began
the sentimental young man.
"Yes," interrupted the cynic, "but
not as much as it loves to hear the
lover's letters read out in court."
Valid Grounds. — "I object," said the
member from New York, 'to any ap-
propriation for deer»ning New York
harbor. The harbor," he continued,
observing the looks of surprise, "al-
ready is as deep as it is safe for ferry
boats to sink in."
.More in Sight. — "We have nothing
to lose but our chains,' growled the
humble member of the Douma, sav-
agely.
"You forget the matter of mileage
and the possibility of a constructive
recess," responded a Conservative,
who had made a study of American
methods.
Statesmanship's Problems — "What's
the matter?" asked the statesman's
colleague, noting that he was in a
brown study.
"I was thinking about the money we
pay for pensions."
"Don't fret. I guess the men who
are getting it need it."
"Yes, but they are passing from the
scene, aren't they? After they're
gone, what'll we do with all that
money?"
Thereupon the flippant colleague,
too, became thoughtful.
He Knew the Birds. —"Well,
Casey," said Wagley, "I hear the
crops are so poor in Ireland that they
can't even afford to keep scarecrows
there.'
"The truth's not in ye," replied
Casey.
"Oh, come now; you know very
well they haven't any scarecrows
there."
"Haven't we, though? Shure,
many's the time I've gathered the
eggs o' them."
A Distinction or a Difference. — A
Congressional committee went to
Portland, Or., to assist in the opening
of the Exposition on June I last.
There was a parade in the morning,
in which all the visiting statesmen
rode in carriages. The local commit-
tee brought the carriages around to
the Portland Hotel. The scheme was
to have two Senators or Representa-
tives and two local men in each car-
riage.
After the Vice-President and his
part}' had been sent away, a Portland
.notable, who was acting as a major-
domo, came into the lobby of the ho-
tel, where the statesmen were waiting
and bawled:
"Two Congressmen and two gentle-
men, please!" — Saturday Evening

WAGES ON THE COAST
AFTER a long period of unsuccessful nego-
tiation, the wage question between sea-
men and shipowners on the Pacific Coast
has reached an acute stage. The unions con-
cerned, having reduced their respective proposals
in the lowest possible point, and having been met
with absolute refusal on the part of the ship-
owners, have taken the only course that remained
to them, namely, refusal to sail for less than the
wages finally determined upon. As a result of
this action, many vessels sailing from San Fran-
cisco during the past week have shipped crews
at the increased wages; a larger number, however,
have been laid up through failure to secure crews
at the old rate.
The unions affected are the Sailors' Union of
the Pacific, the Pacific Coast Marine Firemen's
Union and the Marine Cooks and Stewards' As-
sociation of the Pacific Coast. The first named
organization has issued a statement covering the
leading features of the case, which is here repro-
duced, as follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., June 1, 1906.
Regarding the pending difficulty as to wages
and conditions in the steam-schooners, the fol-
lowing are the facts:
Agreements between the Unions and the Steam-
ship Association of San Francisco ran out on
January 31. Prior thereto the Unions had oresent-
ed to the Association a request for $5 increase in
the monthly wages and some slight modifications
in the rules governing the payment cf overtime;
also that vessels which had not already provided
mess-rooms for the crews should do so, and give
the crew time to keep their quarters in a clean
and sanitary condition.
These requests were refused, and were then
amended by the unions so as to provide for the
payment of $5 increase in the wages of the sail-
ors receiving $-t5 per month and to the men em-
ployed in the stewards' department receiving $30
per" month, the other matters to be as previously
presented. It was mutually agreed that the con-
ditions under the old agreement should continue
pending negotiations.
\ number of meetings were held with the Board
of Directors of the Association, in which it was
urged that nun are constantly leaving the calling
and going into other kinds of employment, to
such an extent as to make it impossible to find
efficient men.
The employers refused, and the unions took a
vote on the proposal made by the owners, which
was to renew the agreement of the previous year.
Feeling that it woud be no use entering into an
agreement which had a very poor chance of being
carried out, owing to the great scarcity of men
which would result when the men for the Alaska
fisheries had left, the owners' proposition was
defeated by a practically unanimous vote.
The Association was promptly informed of the
result of this vote, and gave answer that the
whole matter would be referred to the United
Shipping and Transportation Association, which
we understand to be a maritime branch of the
Cit/ens' Alliance, held together by a some kind of
money forfeit. The unions had acted under the
impression that the maritime business was to be
kept abso'utely separate from any difficulties that
might arise on shore, and with the idea that the
Steamship Association acted for and by itself.
We were informed that the Association, under its
agreement with the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association, had the power to renew ex-
isting agreements upon substantially the same
terms, but to grant no increase in wages.
The unions then submitted to their membership
in the various ports on the Coast the question:
Shall the wage scale and other conditions last pre-
sented to the owners be put into effect on May I?
This was voted upon on April 16, and the result
was practically unanimous in the affirmative.
Owing to the calamity to San Francisco, the
trade to wdiich employs about one-third of the
seamen on this Coast, the matter was held in
abeyance by Headquarters, pending further nego-
tiations with the owners.
Another feature had entered into the situation.
Work for wdiich seamen are especially fit, namely,
rigging and wrecking work, was and is plentiful,
and for such work a sailor will receive about three
times the wages paid on board ship. Aside from
this, there being no place to sleep in, except at
exorbitant prices, and the cost of food having
increased, the seamen were either working at
wreckage or leaving the city, more especially
owing to the unsettled conditions and prospective
trouble with the employers. These facts were
urged upon the committee of the employers, with
the suggestion that we ought to do whatever was
possible to keep maritime business going, and that
the unions having acted, and two-thirds of the
membership being employed outside of the San
Francisco trade, and the further fact that freights
had increased, the owners could well afford to pay
$1.80 to $2 per day increase in the cost of run-
ning a steam-schooner, the increase amounting to
16 cents per day for each sailor and the galley-
boy. The other changes would not bring the
total above 18 cents per day per man. This, in
a vessel carrying ten men, would be equivalent to
$1.80 per day, or about $25 on a round trip to
Puget Sound, to which the change in freights
would amount to something like $200. Yester-
day, May 31, we were informed that the United
Shipping and Transportation Association had re-
fused to permit the Steamship Association to
concede the request of the unions.
Raving asked: What composes the United
Shipping and Transportation Association? we
were informed that it consisted of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, which has two vessels on
the Coast, and to which up to the present no
request' has been presented (all its other seamen
are either Chinamen, shipped in Hongkong, or
Central Americans, brought here to reduce
wages), the Hawaiian-American Steamship Com-
pany, which has two vessels trading to this port,
which vessels have carried any landsmen they
have been able to pick up; the Cosmos line, a Ger-
man line of steamships, and some others about
equaly interested and important factors in the
1 , 1 istwise trade.
It is apparent from the foregoing that the dis-
pute has been brought about, not by any real dis-
agreement between the shipowners and their em-
ployes concerning the question of wages, but by
the interference of a third party. The proposals
of the unions are reasonable, even modest. In all
probability the shipowners, had they been guided
by their own judgment, would long ago have ac-
cepted these proposals. But the shipowners have
surrendered their judgment to the United Ship-
ping and Transportation Association. The latter
body says, "No." Thus the commerce of the Pa-
cific Coast is placed in danger of a general tie-up
upon the say-so of a body, the controlling power
of which have little or no practical or legitimate
interest in that commerce.
The United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation is an adjunct of the Citizens' Alliance.
The stand taken by the former in the affairs of
shipowners and seamen marks the first appear-
ance of the Alliance since the calamity of April
18. To those who had hoped that the recent dis-
aster might prove a blessing in disguise, if only
by the removal of an organization whose whole
course has been marked by misfortune to the en-
tire community, the reappearance of that organi-
zation will come as an additional misfortune in
a situation that even now tries men's endurance
to the extreme. And, as if in very excess of provo-
cation, the interference of the Alliance touches a
feature of local conditions that is particularly sen-
sitive by reason of its importance in the work of
reconstruction. The freedom of commerce, and
especially commerce in lumber and other building
material, is a vital necessity to the city in its pres-
ent condition. The action of the Citizens' Al-
liance, through its maritime branch, the United
Shipping and Transportation Association, is a
deliberate blow at the commerce of the port, a
blow that will be felt by every interest and every
individual in the city. Unless checked in its
course, the Citizens' Alliance will wreak destruc-
tion upon the high hopes of those who are now
engaged in the herculean task of rebuilding San
Francisco.
The course that ought to be adopted by the
shipowners, in the interest of their own business
and of the port, is quite plain. Whether or not
the shipowners will adopt that course remains to
be seen. One thing is certain, however. The
responsibility for a general tie-up, such as may
unavoidably result from adherence to the com-
pact between the Steamship Association and the
United Shipping and Transportation Association,
can not he laid at the door of the unions con-
cerned. The proposals of the latter are moderate,
beyond all question; these proposals have been
submitted with the very extreme of deliberation,
covering a period of several months. Further,
it is well known that all the conditions, as these
have recently resolved themselves (increase in the
cost of living, scarcity of seamen, and rise in
freights), increase the original justification of
these proposals, and at the same time increase the
shipowners' ability to concede them.
It is to be hoped that the Steamship Associa-
tion will decide to act in its own interests and
those of the city, rather than permit itself to be
used as a catspaw to serve the interests, or rather
to gratify the prejudices, of other parties. In
any event, should the commerce of the port be
tied up and the business of San Francisco be
brought to a standstill, perhaps forever, the pub-
lic will understand that the issue is not a mere
matter of sixteen cents a day in the seamen's
wages, hut a matter of destroying the seamen's
organizations. Of course, the public will find no
difficulty in rendering its judgment upon that
issue.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING IDEAS.
The Australian Navigation Commission
.-(.cms to be piling up a good deal of work
for the future, if not for future generations,
by its treatment of the Navigation Bill — a
measure which has already been a couple of
years before the Commonwealth and appears
likely to remain for an indefinite period. The
Commission is now waiting for the next Im-
perial Conference, and has in the meantime
merely formulated certain recommendations,
preferring to leave things in this unsettled state
to preparing what would be practically a new
measure, that would run a short odds chance
of having to be re-drafted or abandoned to
give place to quite new legislation.
Under these circumstances it is perhaps a
work of supererogation. to examine or criticise
the recommendations of the Commission. They
are, however, of interest as showing at least
the tendency of Australian opinion on ship-
ping matters: and that is a thing as to which
we can be by no means indifferent at home.
The future of Australia, more than that of all
European countries (except our own) "lies
on the sea," and the relations between the great
group of Colonies and the United Kingdom are
well worth all the attention they have yet met
with, and a good deal more.
. It is therefore well, we think, to put the
recommendations of the Commission, as sum-
marized by its members in their report, before
our readers exactly as they stand, especially as
the enormous length of the Bill itself — it con-
tains hundreds of clauses — prohibits our treat-
ing it in the same manner.
The recommendations are as follows:
(i) That the number of British seamen
employed on British ships is declining.
( _' ) That unfavorable surroundings con-
stitute the main cause for this decline.
(3) That the following improvements in
accommodation are desirable :
(a) 120 cubic feet of air space per man.
(b) Efficient ventilation in sleeping quar-
ters.
(c) Bath rooms, supplied with hot water,
for engineers, firemen and others on steam-
ships.
(d) Adequate lighting of forecastles by day
and night.
(4) That the scale of provisions as per
Appendix A lie adopted.
(5) That ships show their victualing bills
for each voyage.
(6) The cooks be certified.
(7) That seamen be entitled to two-thirds
of the wages earned by them at any port where
the ship calls for trading purposes.
(8) That all seamen be engaged only
through a Government officer, the superintend-
ent.
(9) That imprisonment for desertion be
abolished.
( to) That advance notes be abolished, and
allotment notes restricted to relations only.
(n) That a manning scale for officers be
adopted.
(12) That a manning scale for seamen, as
provided in the Bill be adopted.
(13) That a manning scale for engineers
(vide page 25) be adopted. (Minority report
suggests that all these scales should be drawn
up by an expert committee of reference ; ma-
jority adopts definite scales given in appen-
dix.)
(14) That third-class engineers having sea
service,, on passing a practical examination, be
permitted to qualify for higher grade ccrtifi-
•cates.
(15) That the basis.of a manning scale for
firemen be 3^2 tons of coal per day per man.
( 16) That a committee be appointed to
adjust anomalies arising under the proposed
manning scales, such committee to comprise
one representative from the owners, one from
the crew, and a neutral Government expert.
(17) That seamen be not rated as A. B.'s
unless they have had four years' experience
before the mast.
(18) That seamen be not rated as O. S.'s
unless they have had one year's experience be-
fore the mast.
( 11;) That a scheme of compulsory insur-
ance for seamen is desirable.
(20) That the Commonwealth make laws
to regulate sailors' homes, which should be
conducted wholly in the interest of seamen.
1 2 1 1 That the Sea-Carriage of Goods Act
remain as at present.
(22) That all pilots (with the possible ex-
ception of those in the Terres Straits service)
Income public servants.
( 23 ) That pilots be subject to an annual
examination as to physical fitness.
(24) That pilots be liable to the extent
of £100 for accidents caused through want
of skill or neglect.
(25) That the Commonwealth be exempt
from liability fur accidents to vessels while in
charge of pilots.
1 26) That the cabins occupied by persons
suffering from consumption and other infec-
tious or contagious diseases be fumigated and
.scientifically cleansed.
(27) That in case of serious accidents or
sickness aboard, ships make for most easily
reached port, where the necessary medical at-
tention can be obtained.
(28) That vessels with 100 passengers on
\i i\ ages of five days or over carry a medical
man.
( 29 ) That the Commonwealth take over
the control of the quarantine system.
(30) That all lighthouses, beacons, and
buoys ( except those within the limits of ports)
be taken over by the Commonwealth.
(31) That the coastal trade of the Com-
monwealth be reserved for ships on the Aus-
tralian register, or ships conforming to Aus-
tralian conditions, and licensed to trade on the
Australian coast. (Minority proposes to ad-
mit all British vessels to coastal trade inci-
dental to an oversea voyage, without insist-
ing on Australian conditions.)
(32) That mail steamers, excepting subsi-
dized foreign ships carrying mails, engaged in
trading between Fremantle and Adelaide be
exempt from the proposed reservation.
( 33 ) That subsidized foreign ships be pro-
hibited from participating in the Australian
coastal trade.
( 34) That it be made illegal to give rebates
of freight where such are conditional on ex-
clusive shipping by a certain vessel or ves-
sels. (One member, Senator Macfarlane, dis-
agrees.)
(35) That no ship be permitted to leave
an Australian port unless conforming to the
standard of seaworthiness suggested in the
Navigation Bill.
(36) That schedules of life-saving appli-
ances be drawn up, and the standard con-
formed to.
{t,j) That all vessels (including ferry
steamers) constructed after the passing of the
Navigation Bill be fitted with water-tight com-
partments.
(38) That all ships be marked with a load-
line as provided in the Merchant Shipping Act,
an exception to be made in favor of ships
belonging to countries whose load-lines are
accepted by the Board of Trade.
(39) That the present Imperial law re
load-lines be adopted; but power be given to
the Minister to fix as (1) the seasons of the
year, 12) the nature of the voyage, (3) the
nature of the cargo may demand, when the
ship may not be submerged below her winter
mark.
(40) That the survey of ships be entrusted
to men who are experts in the matters upon
which tiny are called to re]
(41 ) That there be adequate inspection of
accommodation, provisions, drugs, life-saving
equipment, and all that pertains to seaworthi-
ness, and also of gear used in the loading and
stowage of cargo.
142) That drivers of oil and electric
launches be licensed.
(43) That an Australian Royal Naval Re-
serve be formed.
(44) That arrangements be made with the
vState Government to provide for nautical
schobl ships at various ports in the Common-
wealth.
(45) That the following questions be con-
sidered by the Imperial Conference, if held:
(a) The desirableness of extending prefer-
ences to British shipowners and British pro-
ducers.
(b) The desirableness of adopting uniform
legislation, to extend the benefits of the Work-
men's Compensation Acts to seamen.
(c) Load-line: (i) Whether the North At-
lantic mark should not apply to ships leaving
Australia, via Cape Horn, (ii) Whether it is
advisable to have a light load-line for ships in
ballast.
These we leave to speak for themselves, not-
ing that the Act referred to in No. 21 is a
short Act passed in February, 1905, but called
the "Sea Carriage of Goods Act, 1904." which
is similar to the Harter Act of America, pro-
viding that "'negligence clauses" inserted in
bills of lading to exempt owners, masters, and
others from liability shall be null and void,
and providing a penalty of £100 for every
insertion of such clauses.
Further, that on the proposal to reserve the
coastal trade (No. 31), the question of prefer-
ence to British shipping, that of foreign sub-
sidies (to which Australia appears more awake
than we are), and especially that of fiscal treat-
ment of merchandise are, in the opinion of
Australians, matters not for the Navigation
Bill, but for the consideration of the Imperial
Conference. They are assuredly matters of
high policy, and even further delay may well
be preferable to dealing with them in a hurry.
The Commission has had some good evidence
before it, as well as some which can hardly
be so described. The minority report hopes
for a complete scheme dealing with preference
generally; and it thinks no recommendation
should be embodied in the report at present.
for the Commission still exists, waiting to re-
port again after the Imperial Conference.
But, as we observed so long ago as June 7,
of last year, there are evidences of a revulsion
of feeling in Australia on the subject of such
extreme measures as were, and still are, con-
tained in the Australian Bill itself, and there
is, we believe, little danger of its passing the
Colonial Chambers in its present form, and
thus adding another anomalous position to
that created by similar action in New Zea-
land. We have, indeed, the Colonial Laws
Yaliditv Act. but common sense and mutual
understanding should rule, without that re-
D >urse. — Shipping World.

MACHINERY ON LAKE LINERS.
The big engines of a large steamer is a
favorite subject for illustration and descrip-
tion, but the no less necessary, special machin-
ery of a Great Lakes liner would amaze the
landsman. Perhaps the most striking ap-
paratus is that for getting rid of the ashes from
the fireroom, one or two decks below the water
line. The idea is much the same in principle
as the injector, the difference being that water
insteam of steam or air is the prime mover ;
and its velocity and inertia are depended upon
to move the ashes rather than any vacuum
created. The apparatus is called the "ash
gun." Water under from 300 lbs. to 600 lbs.
pressure is forced through a pipe, usually of
about 2-ins. bore, to a nozzle which is directed
upwards into a larger pipe which is run up-
wards to the ship's side above the watr line, at
an angle of about 45 degrees. Where the noz-
zle enters the larger pipe, there is situated a
receiving box where the ashes are thrown
through a hopper directly into the stream of
swiftly moving water. The latter carries the
ashes and clinkers up and out at high velocity.
At the ship's side there is a hood designed to
stop the stream and drop it quietly into the
water. As this hood sometimes becomes
choked the firemen raise it when out of port
and allow the ashes to shoot far out at right
angles to the steamer. The first stories to
reach Europe of the first American ocean
going steamer was of a craft which vomited
fire and smoke and whose chief means of de-
fense was a great stream of boiling water with
which to repel boarders and scald the enemy.
Had that craft carried an "ash gun'' there
would have been some real foundation to the
rumor.
I remember of an instance where the ash
gun was started through a mistake of one of
the water tenders, while this hood was up, just
as we were making port. The stream of dirty
water and hot ashes quickly swept the pier of
all passengers.
At each end of the steamer is situated a
capstan engine. These engines are double
and are placed under the deck and are directly
geared to the capstan. At ports the first and
second officers handle these engines entirely
with the reverse levers ; the engines being of
the link motion style. Before coming into
port, the engineer on duty turns steam into
these engine leads and as the links are left at
center the reversing lever is all that is neces-
cary to send them ahead or back. They are
fitted with automatic water release so there is
no danger of damake to the engine through
condensation in the piping.
The blowing engines are next on the list.
They are of a common variety direct con-
nected or belted to the fans. These fans are
used for ventilating the state rooms and for
forcing the draft in the boilers. The refriger-
ating machines closely resemble the ordinary
stationary installations.
Among the most important of the smaller
engines is the steering engine. This is a
double cylinder winding engine, so designed as
to haul the tiller in the same direction as the
wheel in the pilot house is turned, and stopping
when the wheel stops. The electrical installa-
tion usually consists of two or more direct con-
nected units generating a direct current. This
current is distributed through the ordinary
switch board to the lights and small electric
fans, to the dish washing machines, etc. One
of these units is in action continually and both
are run on the same circuit when the evening
load comes on.
In the crank room of the engine compart-
ment are situated the pumps. There are
pumps for washing the decks for feeding the
boilers, for pumping out the bilges for fire and
for other emergencies. Besides these there is
of course the inevitable air pump for the con-
densers, and the cooling pump which forces
water onto all the main bearings. The air
pump and the cooling pump are direct connect-
ed to the cross heads of the main engine. The
other pumps are independent and are duplex
and sometimes duplex compound. All of the
independent pumps are so piped that they can
be interchanged ; that is, the deck pumps and
the fire pumps can be used as boiler feed
pumps and vice versa. The water for the
boilers is forced into a manifold and then piped
to each boiler separately. Reducing valves
for nearly all of the auxiliary engines and
pumps are used to reduce the pressure of the
steamer's boilers to a pressure more convenient
for the small engines. Automatic force feed
lubricators are used universally, both for cylin-
ders and for bearings.
A very important little engine is the revers-
[ ing engine. The reversing gear of the main
engine is of the link motion type and is, of
course, too heavy to handle by hand. The re-
versing engine is an upright cylinder whose
valve is operated by the reverse lever in the
controlling quadrant. When the reverse lever
is pushed forward the valve of the little engine
is pulled up, the piston follows, and by means
of walking beams the links are slowly pushed
over to the "go ahead" position. The position
for shorter or longer cut-off is governed by the
engineer independently by means of a hand
wheel and screw blocks. On the gauge board
above the controlling quadrant are the main
boiler pressure gauge, the gauge registering
the pressure from the reduced lines, the
vacuum gauge, the revolution counter, and
the chronometer. In fair weather the captain
or mate on the bridge computes the speed of
the steamer and also her position by means of
the revolution counter whose registration is
hourly sent to the bridge. — Popular Mechanics.
An additional safeguard to masters has
been placed in the Detroit River abreast of
Bois Blanc Island in the shape of another buoy.
It is on the west bank of the channel and in
line with the regular buoys. United States
engineers have made a thorough examination
in that vicinity and state that there is no ob-
struction in the channel. A buoy reported as
in the channel was probably dragged there by
some passing boat. It has been replaced on
the channel bank.
The steel freighter Sir Thomas Shaugh-
nessy, named for the President of the Cana-
dian Pacific Railroad, was successfully
launched on May 19 at the Wyandotte yard of
the Detroit Shipbuilding Company. The Na-
tional Steamship Company will operate the
boat, which is 500 feet over all, 32 feet beam
and 30 feet deep. Captain William Smith
will be master of the steamer.
LAND FOR SAILORS' HOME.
The American Seamen's Friend Society,
organized in 1828, of which the Rev. Dr.
Charles A. Stoddard is President, has com-
pleted plans for the erection of a sailors'
home and institute in New York City. The
Society sold the old home at No. 190 Cherry
street, to the city, to be used as an anchor-
age for the Manhattan bridge, and has ob-
tained a plot of ground, 65x135 feet, at the
northeast corner of West and Jane streets,
opposite the Cunard line dock.
The new building is to be modeled after
the Mills Hotel, with accommodations for
225 men. There will be a free shipping bu-
reau, club rooms, a chapel, an auditorium
and a bank, in which sailors will be en-
couraged to deposit their savings. The land
cost $70,000 ,and the estimated cost of the
building is $225,000.
The Allan Line, of which P. D. Todd is
the Philadelphia manager, has announced
that the service between that port, St.
John's, N. F., Halifax, Liverpool and Glas-
gow, will shortly be improved by the trans-
fer of the big passenger steamers City of
Bombay and City of Vienna, which have
been operated in the East Indian service.
The City of Vienna sailed from Glasgow
"for Philadelphia on May 12.
The Sun Oil Company, which operates a
line of steamers between Marcus Hook and
Sabine Pass, has placed a contract with the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock
Company for a vessel to cost about $500,000,
and to have a tank capacity of 200,000 gal-
lons of oil. The new vessel will be 400 feet
long, designed to have a speed of ten knots,
and be completed in ten months.
A waterlogged vessel of about 300 or 400
tons, with decks awash and about twenty
feet of three lower masts standing, was
passed on April 20 in latitude 30 deg. 20
min., longitude 74 deg. 50 min., by the
steamer Admiral Schley, which arrived at
Philadelphia, Pa., recently from Port An-
tonio.
Captain Schmidt, of the Danish steamer
Norden, from Matanzas, with 25,000 bags of
sugar, recently reported that on April 20, in
latitude 30 deg. 38 min. north, longitude 72
deg. 52 min. west, he passed a mast, stand-
ing about eight feet out of the water, with
a red flag attached. The mast was appar-
ently fast to submerged wreckage.
Captain Alburg and crew, of the aban-
doned schooner Louise Hastings, were
landed at Key West recently. The schooner
was abandoned twenty-five miles off Ha-
vana while proceeding from Tampa to Cuba
with a cargo of lumber.
The four-masted schooner William C.
Carnegie of Portland, Me., while bound up
the Coast recently, went ashore at Virginia
Beach, but was subsequently floated and
was towed to Norfolk, apparently unin-
jured.

Captain William Matson, of San Francisco,
President of the Matson Navigation Company,
has announced that he will establish a steamship
line between Portland and Honolulu, and that

terprise may be taken off the Honolulu-San
Francisco line to ply between the Hawaiian
capital and Portland.
D. N. Dean, the champion naval gunner of the
world, who has been stationed at Mare Island
for some time, has left the service for good.
Dean's term of service expired on May 16, and
he was offered all kinds of inducements to re-
enlist, but he refused, and will leave for his home
in Wisconsin in a few days. Dean captured for
the American Navy and the battleship Ohio the
championship of the world trophy with a six-
inch gun at a recent target practice in Subig Bay.
The ship going at the rate of ten knots an
hour, with a six-inch gun he hit, at a distance of
1600 yards, a small target thirteen times out of
thirteen endea>vors. The record was formerly
held by the English navy, its record being, eleven
hits out of fourteen chances.
The Orizaba, one of the best-equipped passen-
ger steamers to arrive here for the Pacific Coast
service, arrived at San Francisco on May 24, fifty-
four days from Baltimore. Her steaming time
was forty-eight days and fourteen hours from
C.'i'e Henry, via Magellan Straits. Captain H.
J. Uyrne is in command of the Orizaba, which
was recently purchased from the New York and
Cuba Mail Steamship Company for use on the
Seattle-Nome route. The same company has also
bought the steamers Yucatan and Saratoga from
the Orizaba's former owners and they also will
be operated from Seattle to Alaskan points. They
are now on the way out from the Atlantic. The
Orizaba was built on the Atlantic Coast in 1899
and is 350 feet long, 43 feet wide and 23 feet deep.
In general appearance she resemb'es the Pacific
Mail liner Newport. The Orizaba has a speed of
fifteen knots an hour and can accommodate 300
passengers

cisco, an adjunct of the Union Oil Company, has
listed two large tank steamers in New York for a
voyage to the former port. They are the Santa
Maria, formerly the Minnetonka, and the Santa
Rita, formerly the Minnewaska, both of great car-
rying capacity. The same company has the tank
steamer Lansing on the way to the Coast from
Philadelphia, and now twenty-seven days out.
The ocean yacht race from San Francisco to
Honolulu will be sailed after all. Commodore
Macfarlane has announced this fact to the officers
of the Pacific Interclub Yacht Association. The
exact date of the race has not been settled, as the
La Paloma has to go on the ways to be put into
racing trim. This will take at least two weeks,
and it may not be until the end of June before
the yachts start for Honolulu. The Lurline put
out last week for San Francisco from Los Ange-
les, but had to put back.
The Humboldt Lumber and Manufacturing
Company, owners of the tug Ranger, have filed
a libel against the steamer Wasp in Judge De
Haven's department of the United States Dis-
trict Court at San Francisco. The Wasp, accord-

The Blue-Funnel liner Teucer arrived at Vic-
toria, B. C, on May 23, from Liverpool, Eng., on
her maiden trip to Tacoma. She came via Yoko-
hama, breaking all Pacific records and beating the
Shawmut to port, although that vessel started a
day ahead. The Teucer made her maiden trip in
thirteen days. She is built on new lines, having
no masts. She is also without stanchions in her
holds. Her capacity is 20,000 tons. Her initial
performance beats the records made by the big
Hill liners, Minnesota and Dakota.
The steamer Teucer, the new liner of the Blue
Funnel Line, from Yokohama, at Victoria, B. C,
on May 23, brought news of the discovery of the
missing Russian blockade runner Sourabaya, com-
pletely incased in ice on the north Siberian Coast
near Nicolaievsky, with the corpses of part of
her crew frozen on board. The steamer was in
the employ of the Russian Government, taking a
cargo of arms and ammunition to Vladivostock,
and, being unable to reach the port because of
the Japanese blockade, she took refuge in the
Arctic off North Siberia, where she was frozen
in the ice.
The Anglo-American Arctic exploring party
sailed from Victoria, B. C, on May 20, on board
the Duchess of Bedford for the Arctic, with the
object of seeking a large stretch of undiscovered
land believed to exist in the Beaufort Sea, north-
west of the Alaskan coast, and incidentally to
conduct geological, geographical, ethnological and
other scientific works. The expedition is headed
by Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen, a Danish navigator,
who has been twice a member of Arctic expedi-
tions, and Ernest de K. Lcffingwell, a Chicago
geologist, who was with Mikkelsen, a member of

INDUSTRIAL COMPETITION.
A recent bulletin of the United States Bu-
real of Labor presents some interesting facts
in regard to the rate of wages paid in the
United States, Great Britain, Germany, and
Belgium. The comparisons extend over each
of the thirteen years from 1890 to 1903, in-
clusive, and show the difference in wages as
expressed in rates per hour.
From the Journal of Commerce the follow-
ing tabulation is taken, which shows the wages
in twelve common employments during the
year 1903, the figures expressing in decimals
of a dollar per one hour's work :
Employments

In the case of Germany, on an average of
the twelve trades cited, one hour's work repre-
sents, approximately, 12 cents of earnings; in
the case of Great Britain 173/2, and in the
United States 35 cents per hour. The British
employer has to pay, on the average of these
trades, 46 cents more for labor than the Ger-
man employer pays, while the difference as
against the American employer is J91 per
cent.
In thirteen years, since 1890, wages have
risen on an average 21.8 per cent in Germany,
1 1.9 per cent in Great Britain, and 20.7 per
cent in the United States. There have been
industries in which the rise of wages has been
considerably higher, but figures given ap-
proximate the general average. The lower
wages in Germany compared with those in
Great Britain are largely due to the redund-
ancy of Germany's population.
HOUSING POOR IN MILAN.
Consul Dunning, of Milan, supplies a com-
prehensive article on the successful plans for
better housing of the poor in that Italian city.
A commission found 38,000 families living in
one room each, and that 333,000 persons, or 70
per cent of the population, were living in 172,-
417 rooms. Thousands of these rooms had no
light except through the entrance door. The
Milan citizens in 1905 voted overwhelmingly
for municipal participation in plans for better
housing for work people, and a system of mod-
ern tenement houses will now be built to sup-
plement the sanitary lodging houses recently
established, which furnish good quarters for
60 cents per week. A million dollars is to be
spent for the erection of 48 tenement houses,
each of which will contain 500 rooms, divided
into one, two, and three room apartments.
The Humanitarian Society also appropriated
$400,000 from its charity funds, and is build-
ing model apartment homes for the poor.
The movement of population in Australia
is the subject of a report from United States
Consul Coding, at Newcastle, N. S. W. It
appears that in 1905 the Commonwealth
made a net gain of 2,216 persons, the excess
of arrivals over departures. From the
United Kingdom there arrived over 11,000
but about 10,000 people sailed for the other
country. The United States, like Canada,
has drawn population from Australia, the
excess of departures therefor being 599 dur-
ing last year.

THE ASSOCIATION'S REPLY
As was expected, the United Shipping- and
Transportation Association lias published a
reply to the statement made by the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific, as reproduced on page
1 of this issue. As was also expected the
Association's reply is a palpable misrepre-
sentation of the facts. Referring- to the de-
cision of the Sailors' Union to enforce its
new scale of wages, the Association says:
Folowing this action the executive committee
of the United Shipping and Transportation Asso-
ciation to whom tlu' demand for an advanc of
wa> submitted, lias notified the Steamship
iation thai they would not consent to the
advance demanded, because they believe that the
existing conditions and general welfare of San
Francisco will not permit at this time of an in-
crease in wages that will directly or indirectly
add to the cost of the rehabilitation of th:
This language is intended to convey the
impression that the Union's action is de-
signed to take advantage of "existing condi-
tions." and that the Association's attitude is
dictated by a desire to protect the city from
such design. The fact is that the Union's
request for an increase in wages was sub-
mitted to tlu- shipowners months before the
earthquake and tire, which request was then
and there refused. In a word, the Associa-
tion now takes advantage of "existing con-
ditions" as an excuse for assuming an at-
titude which it knows to be indefensible. The
same motive appears further in the reply
of the Association, as follows:
Mr. Furuseth, in a signed statement printed in
The Examiner, claims that the demand he has
made amounts to only 16 cents per day for each
seaman. Does this demand of an additional 16
cents or men who are receiving higher
wages than are paid sailors in any part of the
world justify at this time the bringing about of
a controversy, which, unless settled, will tie
up the entire water front of San Francisco?
The statement that the seamen on the
Pacific Coast "are receiving higher wages
than are paid sailors in any part of the
world" is untrue, both relatively and posi-
tively. It would be much nearer the truth
to say that in comparison with the amount
and character of the labor required of sea-
men on the class of vessels involved in the
present dispute, and the cost of living, wages
are lower on the Pacific Coast than else-
where. The chief point here touched upon,
however, is the question, asked by the As-
sociation, as to whether the amount involved
justifies "at this time the bringing about
of a controversy, which, unless settled, will
tic up the entire water front of San Fran-
cisco." As already stated the controversy
has not been brought about "at this time";
it was brought about a long time ago. The
fact that there exists at this time any con-
troversy at all is due entirely to the Asso-
ciation, which has interfered to prevent the
shipowners and seamen from reaching an
agreement satisfactory to themselves. Again
the point of time is raised by the Associa-
tion. In concluding its reply to the Union's
statement, the Association says:
Inasmuch as the water front of San Francisco
is about all that the stricken city has left, it is
1<i Ik- hoped that the Sailors' Union will recon-
sider tlie position they have taken and withdraw,
what we consider, an unreasonable demand made
at an inopportune time.
Again we assert that the Union s demand
is neither unreasonable nor inopportune.
The repeated attempts of the Association
to make it appear that the conditions now
existing in San Francisco have determined
both the demand of the Sailors' Union and
the refusal of the Association is conclusive
evidence of weakness in the case of the lat-
ter. The Association is determined upon a
campaign of destruction among the labor
organizations on the water front of San
Francisco — is organized for that purpose, as
its records prove — and being ashamed to
acknowledge that purpose, it takes refuge in
a pretense of solicitude for the welfare of
the port.
The situation now existing between the
maritime unions and the United Shipping
and Transportation Association (otherwise,
the Citizens' Alliance) closely resembles
that of 1901, prior to the great strike of the
City Front Federation. The results in the
future, as were those in the past, will be
due entirely to unwarranted interference be-
tween employer and employee by a third
party inspired solely by a desire to gratify
its union-hating impulses, and led by a no-
torious agitator seeking to rehabilitate his
shattered fortunes at the expense of his vic-
tims.
LABOR COUNCIL SPEAKS AGAIN.
The San Francisco Labor Council, at its
meeting on June 1, adopted a resolution in-
tended to take the sting out of the declara-
tion of the previous week, in which the city
government was condemned for its action in
passing an ordinance permitting the estab-
lishment of the overhead-trolley system of
street-car propulsion. The latest expression
of the Labor Council is as follows:
Whereas. There is now in operation a con-
certed effort 011 the part of a certain local journal
and some delegates in this Council to make it
appear that this Council is dissatisfied with the
present city Administration: and
Whereas, Tlu- election of the Union Labor
party and Major E. E. Schmitz has proven of
inestimable value to the power of organized labor
and the commonwealth of this city; therefore
be it
Resolved, That this Council hereby resents and
repudiates any attempt to destroy the well-earned
reputation of Mayor E. E. Schmitz. whose ad-
ministration has brought industrial peace to this
city; and be it further
Resolved, That this Council hereby declares
as false the heading which appeared in a local
paper on May 26, 1906, which reads as follows:
''Labor Council Denounces the Schmitz Adminis-
tration"; further
Resolved. That this Council hereby warns the
public against similar journalistic misrepresenta-
tion in the future; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be
at once sent to the Honorable Mayor E. E.
Schmitz, the Board of Supervisors, published in
the next issue of the Labor Clarion, and that
copies be at once given to the local papers for
publication.
It will be noted that the foregoing is
ostensibly aimed at a "certain local journal,"
to-wit, the Examiner, and distinctly evades
the issue, which is that of the Labor Conn-
ed s action in condemning the government
upon the ground of a certain specified act.
So far as that action is concerned the Labor
Council still stands by its previous declara-
tion ; in fact, the President of that body
directly stated that the adoption of the latest
resolution did nut rescind the former action.
That the resolution of last Friday was
adopted at all is due to the presence in the
Labor Council of a large number of dele-
gates most of whom are office-holders under
the present city administration, attracted to
the meeting by political considerations and
disposed at all times to serve political,
rather than trade-union, ends. The signifi-
cance of the two expressions — the resolu-
tions of May 25 and of June 1 — may be
judged by comparing the character of the
attendance upon each occasion. Upon the
first-named occasion the attendance was
composed, in the majority at least, of dele-
gates attracted by purely trade-union inter-
ests, and who were therefore free to express
themselves without fear or favor upon any
public question. It is noteworthy, too. that
the vote of such delegates was even larger
last Friday than on the previous occasion.
So far as the trade-unionists in the Labor
Council are concerned, there has been no
change of sentiment upon the question at
issue. Practically, as well as nominally, the
city government still stands under con-
demnation for its surrender to the street car
monopoly. The harmless assault upon a
"certain local journal," and the still more
harmless compliment to the Union Labor
party and Mayor Schmitz, can not alter the
essential facts of the Labor Council's action.
One thing the latter body has learned dur-
ing the episode, namely, that when in despair
of securing a full attendance of delegates for
the transaction of trade-union business, that
object may be accomplished by the simple
suggestion of something uncomplimentary
to the source of the delegates' fondest af-
fections.
There is no danger of a Chinese invasion as
the result of the issuance of the modified and
lized regulations respecting the inspection
of Chinese who claim the right to come into
the country. It was predicted that if the rigors
of the inspection under the Exclusion law were
relaxed the country would soon be overrun with
Chine.se. It appears from a Government report
just issued that only -'41 Chinese were admitted
111 \pril. This i, about three- times as many as
were admitted in the month of April 1905. The
Exclusion wall remains sufficiently strong to saw-
us from the "yellow peril."-- Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
"Pis well that 'tis so. However, it is to
be noted that the Exclusion law has not yet
been "modified and liberalized" to anything
like the extent proposed by the legislation
now pending in Congress. It is sufficient
to point out that if the number of Chinese
entering the country under the compara-
tively small modifications already made can
be trebled, there is every reason to fear the
results that would flow from the wholesale
"modification" plans proposed by the Fos-
ter bill, and other measures of like kind.
Better "stand pat" on the existing Exclusion
law.
Union label goods can be obtained in San
Francisco if you will insist upon getting them.
The fire destroyed practically all union-made
goods in stock, but there arc more to be had
and it is for the working men to say whether
the retailer shall fill his new store with the
union or the non-union variety of goods.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
General Organizer Benson, of the Interna-
tional Seamen's Union of America, reports
that some improvement is noted in organiz-
ing work in New York. A donation of $r,ooo,
given by the Lake Seamen's Union, has made
it possible to place additional organizers among
the deck crews in Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia. The assistance thus afforded the
Lake seamen is timely and will doubtless be
fully repaid in the lessened competition on the
part of the Atlantic Coast seamen and in the
moral satisfaction arising from a sense of
duty well done.
STRIKE OF GERMAN SEAMEN.
The action of the Secretary of the Navy
in discharging all Japs heretofore employed
on board war vessels and in the Navy works
ashore will be welcomed as a step in the
right direction. The disclosures made con-
cerning the Jap's proclivity for "taking
notes" constitute but one instance of a con-
dition that is universal wherever the "little
brown man" secures a footing. The Ameri-
can, man and woman, who employs a Jap,
employs a prospective competitor, and one,
moreover, with whom there can be no com-
peting.
The United Shipping and Transportation
Association pretends great solicitude for
San Francisco, "under existing conditions,"
when discussing the question of increasing
seamen's wages, to the extent of $5 per
month, or sixteen cents per day. But when
it comes to the question of increasing
freights, that body- is exceedingly reticent.
It doesn't discuss freights at all ; it simply
raises them. To be sure, wages is one ques-
tion, and freights another. Of course !
San Francisco may well accept the assist-
ance of the public-service corporations in the
present emergency, and thank them for it. At
the same time, it is well to be 011 guard against
assuming an obligation which all posterity may
be unable to discharge. The city, if it would
remain free, must retain its rights of self-
government and self-ownership, as against
government and owrcrship by the corpora-
tions.
The Retail Clerks of San Francisco have
determined to suspend the early-closing rule
during the period of rehabilitation in the re-
tail business. This fact need not make any
difference to those who have adopted the rule
of making purchases before 6 p. m. on week
days and 10 p. m. on Saturday and the even-
ings preceding holidays.
Workingmen throughout the country
should be warned against advertisements
for labor in San Francisco. That city is
now afflicted by a surplus of unemployed of
all crafts, a condition which, from all present
indications, is likely to continue for a long
time.
San Francisco storekeepers resuming busi-
ness at the same old stand should not fail
to lay in a stock of goods bearing the same
old union label.
Talking about reconstruction, what's the
matter with a "greater and grander" demand
for the union label?
For fair products of all kinds read the
Tournal's ad. columns.
The strike of seamen at Hamburg and
Bremen inaugurated on April 1 terminated
on May 12. The principal demands of the
organized seafarers were for recognition of
their union and an increase of 5 marks per
month in the various schedules of wages.
The struggle was without success as far as
the recognition of the union was concerned.
The shipowners were compelled, however,
to pay the advance in wages asked for. The
big transatlantic lines were the first to an-
nounce their intention to pay the new
schedule. The Hamburg-American line
posted notices to this effect on April 4, and
the North German Lloyd did likewise on
April 11. Secretary Jochade, of the Inter-
national Transport Workers' Federation,
whose headquarters are at Hamburg, writes
the Journal that there were scarcely any
desertions from the ranks of the strikers.
Yet the ships were kept moving in some
shape with strikebreakers imported prin-
cipally from England. The shipowners and
their agents were not able to secure German
workmen for strike-breaking purposes, as
the sentiment of the working people was
very strongly against the big shipping com-
panies. The German authorities winked at
the many gross violations of the law, and
large passenger-carrying vessels were al-
lowed to sail with crews which were en-
tirely untrained and inefficient. P'ollowing
are the monthly rates of wages now in force :
Boatswain, 90 marks ; carpenter, 90 marks ;
quartermaster, 75 marks ; able seamen, 70
marks; ordinary seaman, 30-40 marks; fire-
men, 80 marks ; coal passer, 60-70 marks.
Demand the union label on all products !
After reading the statements of the steam-
schooner owners that sailors in their vessels
are earning $90 and $100 per month the ave-
rage land lubber will come to the conclusion
that the seafaring man on the Pacific Coast
is receiving a pretty fair compensation for his
labor. The press agent of the steam-schooner
owners failed to state, however, that in order
to earn $90 per month a seaman must work
3 hours every day over and above the
regular 9 hour work da^, making a total of 12
hours hard labor out of every 24 hours. And
this is not counting the many hours of night
work at sea, such as steering and keeping
lookout, which services are performed with-
out any extra compensation. It is certainly
a soft snap to be a steam-schooner sailor and
receive higher wages than are paid sailors in
any part of the world ! The strange part of
it is that not one sailor out of 25 stays with
the job for longer than a year or two at the
most.

Regular weekly meeting was called to order
in the Sailors' Home at 7:30 p. m. E. Ellison
presiding. The Committee on Steam-Schooner
Owners submitted a report the substance of
which was as follows: That the Owners could
not pay the increase and give the conditions
asked for, but if the Union would modify its
demands so as to read "$2.50 increase per month
to sailors in all steam-schooners; overtime on
sailing day to firemen who are furnishing
steam for working cargo, but watches not to
be set until vessels go to sea; for the cooks and
stewards $5.00 increase to the few men now re-
ceiving $30 per month," they, the Steamship As-
sociation would submit the matter to the United
Shipping and Transportation Association and
urge upon said Association that they permit them
to pay this and sign an agreement to last until
Jan. 31, 1907. It was moved and seconded that
the Union has no such proposition to offer. The
motion was adopted by a unanimous vote. Bal-

DOCKS ON LAKE FRONT.
WILL BEGIN DOCK WORK.
CANADIAN FISHERIES.
The statement recently made at the Detroit
dinner by James Wallace, President of the
American Shipbuilding Company, that a new
boa! is to be built 640 feet long, has brought
out the prediction in maritime circles that in
future all business will be done at Lake ports
in outside harbors instead of in the rivers, as
has been the case heretofore. Up to this time
the boats have been small enough to permit
various shipping concerns to adhere to the
old practice of doing the principal part of
their business at docks situated along the
rivers. This has been especially true in
Cleveland, where the most important part of
Cleveland's commerce, the ore trade, has
been conducted in a little out-of-the-way
part of the river, that really amounts to little
more than a slip.
Cleveland's ore docks have been mainly
along the old river bed. The same has been
true in Lorain. Ashtabula, Conneaut, and. of
course, Toledo. The developments are not
likely to change the situation at Toledo, since
that port has plenty of river room, but in the
other ports mentioned the developments are
rapid toward the construction of dock machin-
ery and slips out on the Lake front, where the
tortuous channels of the rivers, emptying into
the Lake, do not have to be contended with.
This is notably true of the developments at
Ashtabula, where the big improvements of the
Lake Shore and Pennsylvania arc on the Lake
front. Conneaut has been trending in the same
direction for some time. The Wheeling &
Lake Erie at Huron is doing practically the
same thing. At Sandusky, the Shore Line is
planning to build a new dock on the Lake
front. The construction of boats 500 feet long
and more practically demanded the abandon-
ment of old docks along the rivers, and now
that boats are beginning to be built 600 feet
and longer, it is practically impossible to keep
the docks in their old positions.
V.i ith vesselowners and shipbuilders main-
tain that it is impossible to limit the size of
boats to the requirements of antiquated har-
Thcy say that economic conditions on
the Lakes demand the big tonnage, that boats
have not been built to their maximum length
is generally admitted in all quarters. Tt is
now confidently predicted that before five years
are past, boats will be built exceeding 700
feet in length. The new style of Lake archi-
tecture permits the construction of these big
boats, with the assurance that they are prac-
tically secure against damage of storm. Ves-
selowners and shipbuilders now say that it is
up to the cities, contending for the supremacy
in Lake commerce, to build docks that will
meet the requirements of the new boats. In
making this assertion they were putting the
situation up to Cleveland to develop its Lake
front, since all of the other ore receiving ports
have alreadv done what is necessary.
A revised chart, in colors, of Saginaw Bav
has just been issued and is now on sale at the
United States Lake Survey office, 33 Campau
building, Detroit, Mich., at 18 cents per copy.
The title of this chart has been changed to
"Coast Chart No. 2, Lake Huron, from
Richmondville to An Sable Point, including
Saginaw Bay."
The announcement is made by K. A. Handy,
general manager of the Lake Shore Railway,
that work will be started at once
on the dock improvements which
are to be made at Ashtabula. The
work there is so extensive that it will i
take the remainder of this year and all of next
summer to build it. The rapid increase in the
5S has made it impossible for the
1 ,ake Shore to continue the development of the
inside harbor, inasmuch as there is a bend in
the river just inside the shore line which the
longer boats can not pass. This has made it
necessary for the Lake Shore to extend its
facilities to the Lake front, where protection
is obtained from the seawall, but this, of
course, entails a complete change in the yard,
and also the erection of new docks and slips.
The provision under which the United States
Government permitted this improvement was
that the Lake Shore should build an extension
to the breakwater to protect its shore line.
Tlie Lake Shore has consented to the sugges-
tion, and will begin the erection of the seawall
as one of the first parts of the improvement to
be made. General .Manager Handy says that
he does not know just now how long the
breakwater will have to be, but intimates that
it will almost double the present harbor facili-
ties at Ashtabula. The details of the dock ex-
tensions have not been outlined, but it is
known that a number of new ore unloading
and coal loading machines will be installed.
This will be of the latest design for rapid
work. The total cost of the improvement, in-
cluding the extension of the seawall and the
equipping of the docks, will be about $3,000,-
000. The changes made necessary in the yard
adjacent to the docks will be in addition to the
COSt of the other improvements. It is estimat-
ed that before the changes are made, the total
amount expended will be somewhere near
$4,000,000. The dock machinery will be in-
stalled as needed. The slips and yards adja-
cent to the docks will be fully developed with-
in the next eighteen months.
Prince Rupert has been selected as the
name for the new I in commercial port
on the Pacific Coast, the terminus of the
Grand Trunk Line. Over 12,000 n
were sugested in the prize contest for the
best name, and $250 was awarded to a Win-
nipeg girl for the name selected. Two other
prizes of $250 each were given to persons
who suggested Port Rupert. The new port
is 30 miles south of Alaska, and is heralded
as an outlet for Canadian grain, lumber,
minerals, and fish ; as a port of transship-
ment for Alaska and the Klondike; as a
factor in the Oriental trade, being several
hundred miles nearer than any competing
Pacific Coast city.
The establishment of a new St. Lawrence
line from Montreal and Fort William has
been decided on by Montreal shipping inter-
and two steamers have been secured
with which the service will be established.
The line will take the place of the Great Lake
and St. Lawrence Company's steamers, which
have been withdrawn to run to Buffalo and
other American ports.
Attention is called to the annual report of
the fisheries branch of the Canadian Depart-
ment of Marine and Fisheries, which r
was recentl) presented to the House of Com-
mons at Ottawa. The report says:
The total value of the fish caught and the
lish products of Canada in 11,04. as given in
this report, was $23,516,000, and was the larg-
jate 011 record with one exception,
1001. when a phenomenal catch of salmon in
British Columbia swelled the total value of
that year's fisheries beyond $25,000,000. The
improvement was general, as. with the ex-
ception of mackerel and codfish, all the other
principal kinds of fish show fair incr
the previous Season. During the year no less
than 77,345 men were engaged in the Cana-
dian fisheries, not including the numerous em-
ployes in the lobster industry.
The lobster plant alone is valued a
jy>, comprising the equipment of jy> can-
neries dispersed on the coast of the maritime
pro\inccs. Nova Scotia had 2^,j canneries in
operation; New Brunswick, 236; Prince Ed-
ward Island. 199, and Quebec, 01. Nearly
14.000 persons found employment in these
different establishments, which put on the mar-
ket n - pounds of canned lobsters, be-
sides a larger quantit ! of alive or
fresh, both aggregating a value of S
for ibis branch of the fishing industry.
There has been a remar tment
in the fish-breeding operations in Canada.
are 22 hatcheric -. ] roducing 473,588,000
fry.
Tie report says that the revival of the valu-
able whaling industry, which was at one time
actively pursued from Gaspe and many cen-
ters in the estauary of the Gulf of St. Law-
rence, is a featuri it moment in the
maritime industries of the Dominion of Can-
ada.
A freight war has been begun between the
half dozen shipping companies trading be-
tween Xew Zealand and Great Britain. Both
freight and passenger rates are reduced, one
line making the saloon fare from Wellington
mdon, $1 25.
Germany is building a consulate at Can-
ton. China, and when completed it will be
the finest government building of any nation
represented in that country. The cost will
exceed $100,000, excluding the land.

May 0. i'1 latitude 20.04, longitude 72, by
the steamship Veritas, at Si. John, X. P.
The derelict was submerged within about
four feet of her masts, which were cut away
above water.
it is now believed that the derelict Brit-
ish steamer Dunmore, which has been a
dangerous menace to Atlantic navigation
for more than two months, has at last foun-
dered. Nothing has been seen of the vessel
since March 29, when she was sighted by
the steamer Westlands. .
The derelict schooner John S. Deering,
of Bath, has again been reported. The
British steamer Furnessia, at New York
from Glasgow, passed the Deering on May
17, in latitude 46.20, longitude 45.20, with
two stumps of masts standing. The same
day the liner passed six large icebergs.
The British steamer Escalona, at Louis-
burg, C. B., from Mediterranean ports for
Montreal, reports passing the derelict
schooner Lizzie Chadwiek on May 8, about
1000 miles southeast of Louisburg, with no
spars standing and decks awash. The dere-
lict is in the direct path of vessels trading
between Mediterranean and Canadian ports.
A body found floating in Hamilton Roads
by Captain J. AY. Lieber, of the schooner
Sachem, has been identified as that of Cap-
tain Charles H. Lang, of the ill-fated
schooner Samuel E. Russell, of Baltimore,
who, with Captain T. K. Jones, of Cam-
bridge, Md., owner, and others lost their
lives when the Russell foundered in Chesa-
peake Bay, in January last.
Percy & Small are building at Bath a six-
masted schooner for J. S. Winslow & Co.,
of Portland, to be ready in August. She will
he named Alice M. Lawrence. Her dimen-
ns will be: Length, 306 feet; keel, 285
feet; beam, 48 feet; depth, 27.6 feet; gross
tonnage, 3225. Captain Krcgor. of the
schooner Addie M. Lawrence, will com-
mand her.
The Canadian Commissioner of Emigration
in London, Mr. W. T. R. Preston, talking on
the successful efforts of the Canadian Govern- |
ment to induce emigration to that country from
Great Britain, said:
Five years ago Canada was receiving 12^2 j
per cent of the total of from 60,000 to 70,000 i
emigrants from these shores to North 1
America. Now she receives over 50 per cent.
In these five years the immigrants into Canada
from Great Britain have increased from 8,000
annually to 65,000. Canada wants population.
A net bonus of $1.75 per head is given by the
Government to every emigration agent in Great
Britain sending out emigrants to settle the
land. To the continental agent a gross bonus
of $5 is paid. As a matter of fact each British
agricultural emigrant averages a total cost of
$13 to the Canadian Government, and each
continental emigrant costs the sum of $5.
Consequently the Canadian Government is
paying $8 per head more for British than for
continental emigrants.
The Colonizer of London publishes an inter-
view with a firm in that city which makes i.t
its business to send children to Canada. The
head of the firm stated that for $125 they
could take a hoy, pay his fare, and take care
of him until he has settled with some farmer.
The boy is paid from $5 to $12 per month by
the farmer.
The payments by the Canadian Government
to the emigration agents in Europe for each
emigrant sent to Canada account'; for the large
increase of emigration to that country in re-
cent years.
The House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce has reported favorably
an appropriation bill for aids to navigation,
including various Delaware River and Bay
forks.
A dispatch from Edgarton reports that
the bark flattie G. Dixon, from Baltimore
to Boston, has gone to pieces on the rocks
off that port.

UNIVERSAL PENNY POSTAGE.
AMERICANIZED MONGOLIANS.
Mr. I. Henniker Heaton, a member of the
British Parliament, and well known in con-
nection with postal reforms, recently addressed
the National Chamber of Trade in England on
the subject of universal penny postage. He
said that it would be just as useless to try and
stop the carrying out of this reform as to en-
deavor to stop the flow of the Thames. He
ridiculed the idea of 2 l-2d. (5 cents) being
charged for a letter delivered in the United
States, whereas, under the system of Imperial
penny postage, letters were conveyed through
the United States to Canada for the sum of id.
Again, in regard to the cost of postage between
Dover and Calais, it was unreasonable, he said.
that the charge should be 2 I-2d., whereas
every Friday a quarter of a million letters were
sent over the same route to all British posses-
sions.
In France, Germany and Italy combinations
of leading men have been formed to inquire
into the matter. Mr. Heaton understood that
the Japanese Government bad stated that they
were willing to accord a similar reduction to
every country in the world. He had received
a letter from the Postmaster-General of France
expressing the greatest possible sympathy with
the proposal, at the same time stating that no
overtures had as yet reached him on the part
of the liritish Government. There was a
strong reason to believe that France would
agree to a restricted postal union between
England and France, and he believes that all
the other nations would come in. A profit of
S25.(xx),ooo a year was made by the liritish
Postoffice, the increase last year being $2,-
000,000, and what he asked the Government
in dn was to give a quarter of that profit 1 over
$5,000,000) to the object which he had in view.
To-day. he said, we had universal half-penny
postage for printed matter up to two ounces in
weight, and why could not penny postage for
half an ounce of written matter, to travel in
the same bag and in the same direction, be al-
lowed ?
Mr. Heaton expresses great confidence in
the success of his efforts to bring about an
agreement among nations for penny* postage,
which would be 2 cents in American monev.
A new law in Australia provides for the
payment after January 1, 1907, to every
gr< iwer of white-grown cane or beet a bounty
of 6 shillings ($1.50) per ton on cane giv-
ing 10 per cent of sugar, to be increased or
decreased proportionately according to any
variation from that standard, and a bounty
of 60 shillings ($15) per ton on the sugar-
giving contents of the beet. It must be
shown that the planter paid the standard rate
of wages to his employes. There is to be an-
exeise duty of $1 per hundred on manufac-
tured sugar, but that is to be reduced on
sugar produced from cane.
Both houses of the Belgian Parliament
have passed the Antwerp Port Extension
bill, carrying some $40,000,000 appropria-
tion, thus securing the largest and most up-
to-date port in the world. Work will com-
mence at once and the improvements pushed
to a finish with all diligence, ten years be-
ing the estimated time required before they
are complete in every detail.
Two hundred thousand eels have been
deposited in Lake Maggiore at Luino, Italy,
where are situated Government hatcheries
for lake fish.
Mr. Lim Dat, a successful Chinese merchant
of Victoria, B. C, has organized among his
countrymen located in British Columbia a two-
million-dollar company to construct an electric
trolley railway in China from Canton to San
W'u, a distance of 60 miles. No white men
need apply for stock, as their presence in the
company would forfeit the charter from the
Chinese Government. The route of the pro-
posed line is a populous one. Canton having a
population of 2,000,000, and San Wu 500,000.
The prospectus of the new company sets forth
that there are no serious topographical diffi-
culties to be encountered in building the line;
that water power will be obtained from the
Quai Tong Shun Mountains, 30 miles from
San Wu ; that now there are 228 junks plying
on the river between these points, carrying
heavy cargoes and many passengers; that it
takes these junks 14 hours to make the trip,
which the electric cars will make in 3 hours.
It is also stated that the summer cars to be
operated — the climate being warm — will each
be equipped with 50-borsepower motors. The
plan is to build the line entirely with Chinese
labor, even using Chinese electricians as far as
pussihle.
It is stated that the company also intends to
seek from the city of Canton a concession of
the light and power privileges. The streets
there ate so narrow that some difficulty would
be experienced in attempting to secure the
franchise for a city street railway system, al-
though this may be sought later. Altogether
it is a remarkable enterprise to be organized
and controlled entirely by Chinese. Mr. Lim
Dat. its promoter, is at the head of the leading
Chinese mercantile firm in Victoria, known as
"Gim Fook Yuen." They own a large brick
block, conduct a department store, a rice mill,
and have several other stores in British Colum-
bia, as well as a branch house in China. Mr.
Dat. in [895, invented and secured a patent on
an improved device for electric rice-mill
machinery, the first patent issued to a China-
man in British North America.
Germany is the largest producer of pota-
toes in the world, growing as high as 48,000,-
000 tons in one year. It offers a good field
for a successful potato digger that would
not cost too much. Germany bought
$1,474,145 worth of agricultural machines
and implements last year. Russia bought
$4,152,262 worth of such implements from
the United States, and the Argentine Re-
public $5,733,615 worth, which accounts for
the rapid increase of that Republic in the
exportation of agricultural products. Mex-
ico and Brazil appear to be inviting fields
for such machinery.
Work has been begun by the Canadian
authorities blasting out the rocks which im-
pede navigation up the Fortymile river from
the Yukon. As a result the work of the
miners on the American side will be greatly
benefited ; but Canada will get the trade of
the mines, which in the long run is worth
by far more than the gold that comes out
of the ground.
The carbon industry in England seems to
be doomed, because the combine of Conti-
nental manufacturers have undercut the
prices to force out the English makers and
secure a monopoly. The price is now down
to S5.60 per 1,000 feet, or below cost.

DISCOVERER OF RADIUM.
Less than seven years ago Prof. Pierre
Curie, in collaboration with his wife, pre-
sented to the world the history of their re-
searches which had finally been crowned by
the discovery of a new chemical element. This
element they called "radium" on account of its
remarkable radio-activity. Immediately the
sensational properties of this rare substance
gave the discoverers a world-wide fame.
Scientists foretold almost revolutionizing pos-
sibilities once the mineral could be produced at
a reasonable cost. To the task, therefore, of
making their discovery a commercial success
the two Curies devoted their lives, and the
tragic death of Professor Curie on the 19th of
April has caused a shock to the scientific
world. He was horn in Paris, in 1859, sa>'s
the New York Times, and early manifested a
scientific bent. The Times continues :
"He was educated at the Sorbonne, and
when only twenty years old began chemical ex-
perimentation on his own account. In his re-
searches he was aided by Marie Sklodowska,
a Pole, who was born at Warsaw, in 1868, and
who after studying chemistry and physics
there went to Paris to continue her work.
"Curie became a professor in the School of
Physics and Chemistry at Paris in 1895, and
about the same time married Mile. Sklo-
dowska, who had already attracted consider-
able attention by her contributions to scientific
publications.
"The couple, both entirely devoted to science,
passed through many hardships together.
Neither had any fortune, and with the few
thousand francs which they earned it was by
no means easy to make both ends meet. They
took a house in the suburb of Paris called
Bourg-la-Reine, a couple of miles from the
walls of the city, and it is related of them that,
in order to save carfare, they each day made
the journey from their home to their labora-
tory, in the Rue Lhomond, on bicycles.
"It was in the little laboratory in the Rue
Lhomond that the experiments which resulted
in the discovery that has already revolution-
ized chemistry, and which may revolutionize
the practise of medicine, were conducted. The
Curies began by studying the magnetic prop-
erties of steel, but in a little while the study
of the conductivity of air under the influence
of the rays of uranium and thorium led them
to the path which ended in the finding of
radium.
"The efforts of the Curies recently had been
directed toward cheapening the cost of radium,
its expensiveness being at present the chief ob-
stacle to more general experiments with it and
its use in medical practise. It takes 5,000 tons
of uranium residues to produce 1 kilo (2.2
pounds) of radium, and the cost of handling
these residues is $2,000 a ton. It would be
impossible to obtain pure radium by chemical
analysis, and the far more sensitive electrical
method is employed. Professor Curie said he
could detect the presence of a radio-active sub-
stance in such a minute quantity that it would
require 5,000 times the quantity to show it on
the microscope.
"The professor was frequently forced to de-
lay his tests for three or four hours, by reason
of the fact that he had been exposed to radium
and that his instruments had become so radio-
active as to prevent him from going near his
instruments. The Curies' laboratory became
so thoroughly impregnated with radium that
they had to move into another place for their
experiments. Both the professor and his wife
recently became ill through the effects of
radium.
"Professor Curie in 1904 refused the decora-
tion of the Legion of Honor. T am of the
opinion," he said, "that the hope of receiving
decorations is not necessary as an inducement
to acts of devotion or courage.' ':
WHEAT FROM HUDSON BAY.
Mr. A. P. Low, director of the geological
survey in Canada, stated at a public meeting
at Montreal recently that in a comparatively
I short time the exportation of wheat from Can-
| ada to Europe would largely go by way of
Hudson Bay. He declared that Hudson Bay
and Hudson Strait were navigable for ordi-
narv vessels for four clear months in the year,
from July 15 to November 15. The distance
from the Canadian wheat belt to Fort Chur-
chill was, he said, less than the distance to the
head of navigation on the Great Lakes, while
from Fort Churchill to Liverpool the distance
was the same as from Quebec to Liverpool.
Therefore the shipping of grain from the
Northwest to Great Britain by the Hudson
Bay route would save the heavy cost of trans-
port from the Great Lakes to Quebec.
Surfman Smith of the Holland Life-Saving
crew has been raised to No. 1 of the crew in
Holland in recognition of his bravery during
the wreck of the Argo on the beach there last
fall. The other members of the crew have
been dropped clown a peg to make room for
Smith. Smith's act was known all over the
Lakes and he received praise from all quar-
ters. While attempts were being made to get
a line fast on the stranded steamer Surfman
Smith tied a line about his waist and leaped
overboard from the lifeboat. He struggled
through the breakers and finally reached the
stranded steamer. He was hauled aboard of
the Argo and aided in making the lines from
the shore fast. His heroism made the work
of rescue faster and more rapid. Smith's
plunge into the surf was a perilous undertak-
ing and incurred great personal danger.
Neafle & Levy Ship and Engine Building
Company have contracted to build a steel
tugboat for Captain Owen A. Thompson, of
Baltimore, for delivery next September. The
boat is to be 120 feet long, 24 feet beam and
13 feet 3 inches depth of hold, and is to be
driven by fore and aft compound engines,
17 and 34 inches diameter of cylinders and
26 inches stroke of piston. The hull will
be divided into seven watertight compart-
ments. There will be tanks for fifty tons of
water and bunker space for 150 tons of coal.
The boat will be named Albany, and when
read) for sea will cost $55,000. A steam cap-
stan and steering gear, electric lights
throughout and wrecking and fire pumps
will also be established.
Canadian vessels succeeded during the sea-
son of 1905, in capturing 1,364 seals off the
coast of British Columbia, and 10,592 seals in
Bering Sea.
British textile workers are pushing strike
movements because of the activity of the.
markets and extensions of mills. In the
Lancashire cotton factories over half a mil-
lion persons are now employed. Last year
Great Britain exported 41,199,500 pounds
more of cotton yarn than in 1904 and 606,-
377,900 yards mdre of piece goods.
STEEL STRUCTURES BEST.
The Baltimore fire vindicated the resist-
ant qualities of the steel frame skyscraper
when assailed by fire. Of all forms of con-
struction it proved itself the safest and most
enduring.
The experience of San Francisco demon-
strated that the steel frame building with-
stands the shock of seismic convulsion better
than any other type of architecture. Not
one of the tall steel frame buildings suffered
serious damage from the earthquake, where
the foundation was stable, whereas, struc-
tures of ordinary brick were badly shattered
or totally wrecked. All well constructed
buildings resting on secure foundations es-
caped with comparatively little injury, but
where buildings rested on insecure piling,
loose sand or the soft filling of made land
the destruction was terrific. It was from
the broken ruins of these wrecks that the
great conflagration sprang. In other words,
San Francisco owes her catastrophe mainly
to bad construction on insecure foundations.
But the staunchness of the Ferry build
ing, which rests entirely on piles, proves
that a pile foundation is secure if properly
driven and firmly concreted.
Architects and engineers are busy study-
ing out the effects of both earthquake and
tire, and all are coming to an agreement
with respect to the superiority of the steel
frame structure. They point out that build-
ings of this type stood firm under earth-
quake shock and were the last to succumb
to fire.
Moreover, they are practically agreed that
Romanesque arch and heavy cornices of
si one or terra cotta are things of the past.
The arches shattered and collapsed under
the vibrant strain while stone and terra
cotta cornices were displaced and hurled in
fragments to the streets below, dealing
death and destruction to the immediate
neighborhood.
The so-called fire wall has also come to
judgment so far as San Francisco is con
eerned. It is simply a parapet of brick and
mortar devised to protect roofs from fire.
These parapets are not gripped or sustained
by anything, and when they encountered the
sharp vibrations of seismic convulsion, were
dung broadcast, mere fragments of brick
and mortar. The fire wall is all right in a
country not subject lo seismic shock, archi-
tects and builders say. but is simply a futile
menace in a region where seismic disturb-
ance is not uncommon.
EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE.
Mr. II. I!. Pell, Acting-Governor of Do-
minica, in a letter to the London Colonizer,
tells of the insurance in the West Indies by
certain members of Lloyds against losses from
hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanic erup-
tions. Policies are issued on buildings and
crops, excluding bananas. Owing to the fra-
gile nature of the banana tree the underwriters
are not at present prepared to insure that kind
of cultivation. The underwriters are pre-
pared, Mr. Bell says, to take risks on build-
ings of all sorts and on cultivations of canes,
cocoa, cotton, coffee, oranges, cocoanuts,
vanilla, limes, rubber, tobacco, and spices.
With this scheme of insurance the owners of
property in the islands may in future be freed
from the great anxiety hitherto felt by planters
during the "hurricane season."

Sir Henry and the Theater Cats. —
"In his 'Reminiscences of the late
Sir Henry Irving,'" says the London
Academy, "Joscpha llatton give^
some anecdotes which show the great
actor in the role of a humorist. Two
of these we repeat:
A certain man, says Mr. llatton,
used to go about purloining, as it
were, an occasional glint of Irving's
fame by dressing as much like him as
he could, wearing his hair long in the
Irving manner, and getting as nearly
as he could, with economy, to the
style of his hat. One day this gentle-
man stopped Irving in a quiet street
and, with a touch of pride, said:
"Mr. Irving, I find myself a good
deal embarrassed by being so often
mistaken for you.'
"Cut your hair, my friend; cut your
hair," was the prompt reply.
The second anecdote is characteris-
tic of Irving's great generosity, as
well as showing his quiet sense of
humor.
A widow of an old Lyceum servant
applied to him for some sort of oc-
cupation about the theater, whereby
she might earn a living. Irving ap-
pealed to Loveday, his manager.
"There is absolutely no vacancy of
any kind,' said Loveday.
"Can't you give her a job to look
after the theater cats? I think we've
too many mice about, not to mention
rats."
"No," said Loveday, "there are two
cheapest and poorest houses at the
beach."
"Well, I want to save my money."
"Your money? Are you going with
him?"
"No, but I'm his heir."
Maid Marion. — John Kendrick
Bangs tells this story on himself:
His friend, Mr. Marion Verdery, who
is president of the Southern Society
of New York, had asked him to speak
at the annual dinner of the society,
and Mr. Bangs had accepted. But
on the evening of the dinner he was
too ill to go out, so he telegraphed
his apologies to Mr. Verdery at Del-
monico's. Late that night Mr. Bang's
telephone rang. Mrs. Bangs went to
the receiver and was told that a tele-
gram had just been received for her
husband. She asked to have it read
off, but the lady at the other end
refused, saying that the message was
to be delivered to Mr. Bangs person-
ally, and, though told of Mr. Bang's
illness, stuck to her decision. So the
invalid put on a wrapper and strug-
gled down to the receiver.
"In answer to your telegram to Del-
monico's," said the astute hello-girl,
"the clerk telegraphs back that there
is no lady of that name in the house, '

THE WATER-FRONT LOCKOUT.
THE unions of Sailors, Marine Firemen and
Marine Cooks and Stewards have requested
certain slight improvements in the condi-
tions of labor on board the vessels owned by the
Steamship Association of San Francisco. The
latter body has refused to grant the request of
its employes, upon the ground that it is pro-
hibited from doing so by the terms of its affilia-
tion with the United Shipping and Transportation
Association. The last-named body, by way of
forcing the issue, has locked out all the men, in-
cluding longshoremen, employed on the vessels
under its control, thus causing a general tie-up
of the port.
This, in brief, is the story of the developments
of the past week in the shipping industry of
San Francisco.
The Steamship Association — the actual em-
ployer in the case — is an organization composed
of steam-schooner owners. The proposals made
by the Sailors' Union affect these vessels only,
or rather certain of these vessels, namely, those
known as "inside" steam-schooners, trading to
natural, land-locked harbors, as distinguished
from the "outside" steam-schooners, in the trade
to artificial ports opening upon the ocean, a dis-
tinction involving a considerable difference in the
amount and character of the labor required of
the crews.
Wages in the steam-schooners are $45 for "in-
side," and $50 for "outside" vessels, per month.
The Sailors' Union proposes that wages shall be
increased to $50 per month in the "inside" steam-
schooners, leaving the "outside" rate as at pres-
ent, thus equalizing wages in both classes of
trade.
The Marine Firemen's Union requests that ov-
ertime shall be paid the firemen who are kept at
work on their "watch below" (that is, during
their own time) on sailing day, a right which
was formerly enjoyed by them, but later denied
as a result of oversight in the negotiations be-
tween the shipowners and the Union.
The Marine Cooks and Stewards' Union re-
quests that the person now receiving the lowest
wages paid in the stewards' department of the
steam-schooners, namely $30 per month, shall be
paid $35 per month.
These proposals combined involve a compara-
tively small increase in the running expenses of
the vessels; they have been "shaved down" to the
minimum, and, in fact, have been tacitly acknowl-
edged by the shipowners as reasonable. Left to
themselves, there is little doubt that the Steam-
ship Association and the unions would long ago
have reached an amicable settlement. As a re-
sult of the interference of the United Shipping
and Transportation Association the matter has
ceased to be one between shipowners and sea-
men and has become one between labor and cap-
ital; the question at issue has ceased to be one
of wages and other conditions of labor and has
become one between trade-unionism and the
"Open Shop."
The action of the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association, in interfering to prevent
a settlement between the Steamship Association
and the unions of its employes is the same as that
of a central labor body — say, the San Francisco
Labor Council — which should interfere to pre-
vent an agreement between one or more of its
affiliated unions and their employers, and should
follow that action by calling a general sympathetic
strike! A central labor body which should adopt
such tactics would be roundly denounced and
rightly held responsible for the results. Fortu-
nately for trade-unionism, no central labor body
possesses the power, even if it had the disposi-
tion, to go to such extremes.
Regarded simply as a wage question, the atti-
tude of the unions directly involved is reasonable
and distinctly conservative. The work required
of the steam-schooner crews is of the very hard-
est kind, performed under conditions of great
hardship and frequently with great danger to life
and limb. In addition, the work in question re-
quires a large amount of skill, both in handling
the vessels and in loading and discharging cargo.
The wage-rate of $45, and even $50, per month,
paid for this class of labor is probably the lowest,
all things considered, paid for any equally import-
ant and onerous work in this locality. Cost of
living and other conditions taken into considera-
tion, these wages are probably the lowest paid
in any locality.
Much is said by the shipowners concerning the
high total of wages received by the crews of cer-
tain vessels. The total in such cases is arrived
at by computing the overtime, at the rate of 50
cents per hour after nine hours' work on any one
day or on Sunday and holidays. It is sufficient
to say that such totals are not general but ex-
ceptional; they represent so much overtime work
over and above the nine-hour day. In short, the
seaman who earns $60 or $70 per month must
work during most of the time that should be de-
voted to rest, and he must work hard, so hard
that few, even of the strongest men, can stand the
pace for more than two or three years.
The old rate of wages has been in operation for
about ten years. During a good part of that
period the shipowners and seamen have been
working under yearly agreements. Each year ef-
forts have been made by the unions to secure an
increase in the rate of wages. The seamen's re-
quest has been regularly refused, and the latter,
for the sake of maintaining friendly business rela-
tions with their employers, have renewed the
agreement upon the old terms, modified upon
occasion by some slight improvement in the gen-
eral working rules. Practically, conditions have
remained the same from year to year during a
long time past.
Meanwhile, wages have been increased and the
length of the workday shortened in almost every
calling ashore. Coincidentally, the cost of living
has increased, the seaman sharing in this particu-
lar feature equally with his fellows on land. The
conviction, long felt by the seamen, that an in-
crease of wages was justified by all the circum-
stances of his calling has latterly grown into a
determination to secure such increase by resort to
a strike if that step should prove necessary. Every
precaution has been taken to avoid resort to the
last alternative. The agreement with the Steam-
ship Association expired on January 31. Prior to
that date negotiations were opened and these
were continued until recently with all possible
patience and forbearance, and with a sincere de-
sire to serve the interests of the shipowners as
well as those of the seamen. No step has been
taken except after due, in fact extreme, delibera-
tion.
Finally, after every effort had been exhausted!
and there remained no hope of an amicable ad-
justment, the unions voted to put the new wage-
scale into effect on May I. This vote was takers
by each union on or about April 16. Two days
later the great earthquake and conflagration oc-
curred. Immediately following that calamity the
unions met and resolved to suspend all action to-
ward securing an increase of wages and in the
meantime to do everything in their power to re-
lieve human distress and save property. These
resolutions were observed in the strictest good
faith so long as there existed the slightest danger
to either life or property.
Several weeks after the earthquake, and where
shipping conditions (which had suffered compar-
atively little damage) had resumed the normal, the
unions again interviewed the shipowners, with the
same result, namely, absolute refusal to concede
anything. In consideration of all the facts — the
resumption of normal shipping conditions, the
increase in freights and the further increase in the
cost of living — the unions again decided to put the
new wage-scale into effect. This step was taken;
on May 29. During the week following that date
a large number of steam-schooner owners agreed
to pay the new scale, and their vessels sailed
without delay. A larger number, however, re-
sisted the unions' demands, and tied up their ves-
sels.
Then followed the lock-out by the United
Shipping and Transportation Association.
The interference of the latter organization
changes the whole character of the situation. The
significance of the Association's action may be
judged with absolute certainty by the character of
its members and the declared purpose of its exist-
ence. The head and front of the Association is
Mr. R. P. Schwerin, President of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, and a member of the execu-
tive board of the Citizens' Alliance. With Mr.
Schwerin are associated a number of men repre-
senting firms not even remotely connected with
the coastwise trade. The purposes of the Asso-
ciation, as set forth in its articles, are to "regu-
late labor conditions and establish the 'Open
Shop' on the water front of Sa"n Francisco.' This
of course, is a plain declaration of hostility to
trade-unionism. Obviously, the success of the
United Shipping and Transportation Association
would mean the disruption of every labor or-
ganization in any way connected with the ship-
ping industry, not only in San Francisco, but in
every port on the Coast.
The connection between the Association and
the Citizens' Alliance is not merely a matter of
affinity or of common sentiment; it is direct, for-
mal and official. In a word, the Association's
laws pledge its members against signing any new
agreements with their respective employes with-
out first securing the approval of the Board df
Directors of the Association and the President
of the Ciitzens' Alliance, to-wit, Messrs. Schwerin
and George. Practically and literally, this means
that all proposed agrements between unions and
their employers must be submitted for approval,
'.1 otherwise, to a notorious employer and cham-
pion of Chinese labor and also to an equally no-
continued on Page 7.)
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
FEW MILLIONAIRES IN EUROPE.
The "muck-rake" speech of President
Roosevelt has been discussed with general ap-
proval by the London papers, especially that
part advocating a tax on large fortunes, and
the idea put forth in some sections of the
American press that the speech expressed the
views of "advanced Socialism" is scouted.
"To English ideas," says The Pall Mall Gaz-
ette (London), "his suggestions for the regu-
lation of private wealth scarcely overstepped
the limits of the commonplace," and, indeed,
" 'a progressive tax on the transfer of fortunes
swollen beyond healthy limits' would be a
milder enactment than we have already exist-
ing in the United Kingdom." While the Lon-
don Express describes the President's speech
as "one of his most momentous utterances," it
thinks that he derived the idea from "a con-
sideration of the excellent working of our own
(England's) system of death duties." The
London Standard passes off Mr. Roosevelt's
"muck-rake" oration simply as "one of his
admirable lay sermons" characterized by "his
special form of public humor." In the opin-
ion of the London Mail, "the practical diffi-
culty of legislating in the direction suggested
by Mr. Roosevelt would be to know how and
where to draw the line." The Spectator ap-
proves the President's wisdom in speaking as
he has done, and takes occasion to say that —
few Americans who study the political phenome-
na of tlu-ir country are prepared to deny that the
President's warning as to public danger from
'unhealthily' large fortunes is required, and
should be pondered with a view to possible ac-
tion. He had a right to notice this like any
other cloud in the national sky.
This influential journal is then led to refer,
as the papers above quoted have done, to the,
condition of things in Europe, especially Eng-
land, where "unhealthy" large fortunes are
made impossible by the statues of the land, as
well as by other influences. Thus:
The aggregation of colossal fortunes is checked
on the European Continent by the independence
of the different countries, by severe laws of dis-
tribution at death, and by the desire of the rich
to enter on careers other than that of money-
making. In this country free trade still checks
the monopolies which are so easily secured when
the world at large can not pour in competing
produce, and which on the whole furnish the
most rapid methods of accumulation. Moi
idiosyncrasy counts even in commerce, and the
British multimillionaire almost invariably desires
either to "found a family," which is a process re-
quiring great outlays, or to achieve distinction
by something other than continuous devotion to
"business," which his son or other successor may
probably denounce as somewhat sordid.
The Spectator adds that not only do "the
gigantic latent resources" of the Republic
favor plutocracy, "the new oligarchy which
everywhere begins to threaten ancient com-
mercial order," and in America to an extent
utterly unparalleled in Europe, but American
ideals of success in life, American commer-
cial law, and American politics all conspire
to foster "multimillianarism" as it is not fos-
tered in Europe. Thus we read :
The American has few modes of acquiring dis-
tinction open to him, and often prefers to found a
sort of commercial dynasty — three instances, at
least, must be known to all our readers. The
American, too, who controls enormous wealth
has a better chance of acquiring direct power than
any 'Englishman, however rich, could readily se-
cure. Shareholders in this country are still al-
lowed a direct voice in the management of their
own affairs, but in America eleven men are said
to exercise "a controlling influence" over the en-
tire railway system of the Republic. The United
Kingdom, moreover, forms a single State; and
altho one has heard stones of corruption dur-
ing the railway mania, and rumors of what is
called "pressure" on behalf of certain pecuniary
interests are common enough, it would be very
difficult indeed by any outlay whatever to de-
prive Parliament of its independence as regards
any question in which the public interest was
deeply concerned. If American whispers may
be trusted, however, the purchase of a State legis-
lature it not impossible, and the usual legal sys-
tem, with its badly paid judges and its multiplic-
ity of appeals, allows an advantage to wealth
which in unscrupulous hands is found to be very
great indeed, so great that no private dealer dare
face a "syndicate" of millionaire-. .Moreover, the
nc latent resources of the Republic so en-
tile vista of commercial possibilities that
within a generation or two fortunes may be ac-
cumulated on a scale unknown since the Roman
Republic gave way to the Roman Empire, and
Crassus was admitted, solely on account of his
wealth, into the minute Political Committee which
for a moment scattered death among its rivals
in the race for power as it were out of a water-
ing-pot.
FOREIGNERS ON BRITISH SHIPS
The British Consul-General at Antwerp
reports on the startling increase of foreign
seamen on British ships. Speaking of what
has come under his observation, he says: It
would seem to be almost incredible that, out
of a total of 14.699 men engaged at this
Consulate-General in 1905, only 3,244 should
be British subjects, and that of this latter
number only 636 were sailors and firemen,
the remaining 2,608 being officers, engineers,
and petty officers; yet the returns show that
this was actually the case."
Lord De La Warr referred to the subject
recently in the British House of Lords, and
in a letter to the London Times he says:
"The inquiries which have been held re-
cently in connection with three disasters in
P.ritish ships have elucidated the fact that
in each case the deckhands have been chiefly
foreign seamen with no knowledge of the
English language, and in two of these cases
a foreigner without any knowledge of Eng-
lish was at the wheel at the time of the dis-
aster. In the shipping world, where 40,000
foreigners are employed, it can not be de-
nied that the work would be equally well
done by Englishmen, or that the work is
suitable to Englismen. The preference due
to the foreigner is mainly due to the fact
that the rate of wages is less. This applies
not only to the shipping community, but
also to many other trades throughout the
counry."
ITALIAN LABOR LEGISLATION.
Legislation has made possible in Lom-
bardy the application of rigid laws govern-
ing the employment of women and chil-
dren in factory labor, in the protection of
workmen, in compulsory insurance and pen-
sions, and in better housing for the laboring
class. Women's hours for labor and the
age at which children may be employed are
definitely fixed. In Milan there are nearing
completion several series of workmen's
houses to take the place of old tenements
in the slums that were torn down to make
room for the new structures. The latter are
built on modern principles, with light, air,
sanitary arrangements, bathing facilities,
and utter abolishment of the former condi-
tions under which entire families lived in
one room. These quarters cost in rent no
more than the old ones did. They arc under
municipal control, a special election having
been held to express the will of the people
on the subject, which was carried by nearly
eight votes to one.
In London many motor 'buses are used.
The men who run them receive a bonus if
they go a week without any accident. If
accidents happen, they are fined.
BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
The diminishing death-rate of any country
is an indication of its advance in civilization,
remarks a writer in The Continental Corre-
spondence (Berlin), for it results from im-
provement in general sanitation and knowl-
of hygiene, increased comfort in living,
and diminution in the frequency of wars. In
Europe, says this writer, quoting from the
latest statistical tables of the German Gov-
ernment, the death-rate is sinking lower and
lower, although this is accompanied, unfor-
tunately, by a decrease in the number of
births. He makes the following international
comparison :
The mortality returns show a constant decrease
in all civilized countries during the past ten years.
Russia stood at the head with 55 deaths per 1,000
in 1895, but even in this case the figure was re-
duced within five years to 31. No Russian sta-
tistics are available for the years 1900-1905. The
most healthy of all the great States of Europe
is England, with a death-rate of 18.7 in 1895 and
16.5 last year. Germany and France have an al-
most equal rate. In both these countries the
death-rate decreased from 22 to 19^2 per 1,000
inhabitants. Similarly Austria and Italy, with
about 23, have an almost equal rate for last year.
A more serious consideration, continues
this writer, is the decrease. in the birth-rate.
We read :
Only in Japan does the birth-rate show an in-
crease, namely, from 29.5 to 32.5. In Russia it
has remained practically stationary. In Germany
the decrease in the rate is _>. in Austria 3, in Hun-
gary 5. in England 2X/Z per 1,000 inhabitants. In
France the decrease, 0.8 per cent., is certainly
much less, but in spite of that fact the birth-rate
in France is still 13 per cent, below that of Ger-
many.
The comparison between the number of
1 lirt lis and deaths shows that the population
of Germany is rapidly decreasing, both in
numbers and density. To quote :
The excess of births over deaths in Germany,
during the last year reported on, amounts to 14J4
per 1,000 inhabitants, while in France it was only
1 J/2. And altho the other great countries are
considerably above France with regard to the
natural increase of population, yet in all cases
they are considerably beneath Germany. The
German rate for the excess of births over deaths
is only exceeded by some of the minor States,
such as the Netherlands, the Argentine, Uruguay,
and some Australian States.
This too readily explains the fact that the des-
tiny of the population in Germany is increas-
ing at a rapid rate. In the year 1816 the number
of inhabitants in the territory now comprised
in the German Empire was :t 50 per
square kilometer. After tin- Franco German war
the number had increased to 70. and according
to the last census it is II.'. The United States
(where a great part of the in population
is due to the immense immigration rather than
in the natural way to the excess of births over
deaths) and which are increasing in population
far faster than Germany, as regards the density
of the population, have, with 8.2.. inhabitants per
square kilometer, only .1 fourteenth of the pro-
portion in Germany. The other great State (Rus-
sia) inhabited by a white race, which exceeds
Germany in the absolute total of its population,
remains, with regard to the density, at a level
of only a fifth as many as Germany per square
kilometer. Germany is only exceeded to any large
extent by one great power, England.
It costs 13 cents to go by trolley cars from
Tokyo to Yokohama, the port of the Japan-
ese capital. Cars start every five minutes
from 5 in the morning to 11 at night.
The Board of Immigration Inspectors re-
cently debarred nine of the 987 aliens who
arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., from Liver-
pool on the American liner Merion. Sev-
eral were suffering from trachoma, while
the others had no visible means of support
and might have become public charges.

AN ANTI-SEASICK BED.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The latest device for the alleviation of
seasickness is a swinging bed invented by a
London dentist. The motion is controlled
by ingenious automatic electric brakes so
that the couch moves just enough to keep it
always level. The results already obtained
with the bed on some of the Channel boats
are said to be highly satisfactory. Says a
writer in Cosmos :
"All kinds of drugs — morphin, chloral, cof-
fee .valerian, etc.-:— have been prescribed un-
successfully for seasickness. . . The sudden
displacement of the intestines accompanied
by irregular contractions of the abdominal
muscles under the action of the ship's roll-
ing and pitching, play a great part in the
genesis of the troubles that constitute this
disease ; and it has been proved that a wide,
tight belt diminishes them considerably.
Diet and a horizontal position, especially af-
ter eating, on a bed with a movable frame,
seem to be somewhat effective in attenuat-
ing the effects of the pitching. A London
dentist, Walter Whitehouse, has perfected
the movable bed by adapting to it ingenious
electric brakes. His device in operation may
be seen on some of the steamers of the
Southeastern and Chatham line, between
Dover and Calais. The invention is thus
described in L'Industrie Electrique:
A kind of bed is suspended on pivots
nearly in the same manner as a marine com-
pass. To the ceiling of the cabin are attached
four electric brakes which are connected
with the corners of the bed by an arrange-
ment of cords and pulleys. When the bed
tends to depart from a horizontal position
one or more of these brakes act and stop it
until the boat has regained a position of
stability.
The ingenious part of the apparatus is
the way in which the electric contact is
made for applying the brakes at the desired
moment. The 'result is obtained by means
of mercury contacts in four tubes, at the foot
of the bed. When the couch departs from
a level position the mercury runs into one or
more of these tubes, where it closes the cor-
responding circuit and causes the brakes to
act at the proper points.
The device keeps the body of the patient
perfectly horizontal ; but we do not see how
it can lessen displacements of more or less
amplitude in a horizontal or vertical direc-
tion. However, the inventor congratulates
himself on the results attained by the ap-
paratus.
The steamers Defiance and George H.
Stout, which plied for a number of years
between Philadelphia and Newbern and
New York, have been sold by Peter Hagan,
of the first-named city, to George R. Dilkes,
for the Florida East Coast Railway Com-
pany. After being thoroughly repaired the
vessels will proceed to Key West and be util-
ized in the transportation of supplies for the
railroad being built by Henry M. Flagler
from Key West to connect with his present
road from Jacksonville, via St. Augustine
and Palm Beach, to Bahia Honda, Fla.
The Navy Department has received news
of the safe progress of the drydock Dewey
through a cablegram from the commander
of the towing fleet. The fleet will reach
Singapore on June 21.
The wreck of the schooner Lottie K.
Friend, from Delaware Bay, near Ship John
Light, has been removed, and an examina-
tion shows that no obstruction to naviga-
tion now exists at the former locality of the
wreck.
The steam yacht Sultana, bound from
Colon to Vera Cruz, was picked up at sea on
April 22 in latitude 13.55 north, longitude
83.10 west, with boilers disabled, by the
British steamer Appomattox, and towed
into Port Eads.
Sommers N. Smith, of the Neafle & Levy
Ship and Engine Building Company, has re-
quested the Navy Department to designate a
day for the official trial trip of the new
United States cruiser St. Louis, which is
Hearing completion.
The owners of the fishing smack Silas
Sterns, which was seized recently by the
Mexican Government for alleged poaching
in Campeche Bay, have received notice that
the Court has held that the seizure was
legal. They have authorized an attorney to
appeal to a higher court.
The schooner Addie Jordan, from Pinners
Point for New York, was sighted by the
steamer Concho, which has arrived at New
York from Galveston, fifty miles east of
Cape Henry, drifting dismantled and with
distress signals flying. The crew of the
schooner refused to abandon the vessel and
declined assistance.
The French liner La Provence, from New
York to Havre, passed the Liganl at 9:45
a. m. on June 6. The Deutschland, a Ham-
burg-American liner, and La Province,
sailed from New York on May 31, within
half an hour of each other, and La Provence
has apparently beaten the Deutschland in
time across the Atlantic by about four hours.
The latter steamer passed Scilly Islands at
11 45 on the 6th.
The new Cunard liner Lusitania, the
world's largest vessel, was successfully
launched at Clydebank, Glasgow, on June
7. The Lusitania is the first of the giant
Cunarders to be launched, and her sister, the
Mauritania, will follow her into the water
about a month hence. The Lusitania is 790
feet long and her greatest breadth is 88 feet,
while her depth is molded is 60J > feet. Her
displacement is about 40,000 tons, and pow-
erful turbine engines will drive her through
the water at a sustained speed of from
tweny-fouT to twenty-five knots. The cabin
accommodations are for 550 first-class, 500
second-class and 1,300 third-class passen-
gers, and the crew will number about 800.
TRANS-ISTHMIAN TRAFFIC.
The Mexican Government, in furtherance
of its plans for building up a big traffic be-
tween the two oceans across the isthmus of
Tehauntepec, has entered into a new con-
tract with S. Pearson & Son whereby en-
larged plans for the construction of port
works at Coatzacoalos on the Atlantic and
Salina Cruz on the Pacific are to be carried
out. These ports are the termini of the Na-
tional Tehauntepec Railroad.
The new contract calls for the expenditure
of $15,000,000 during 1906 and $12,000,000
during 1907. The total Federal appropria-
tion for the port improvements at Coatzacoa-
los and Salina Cruz is $65,000,000. Pearson
& Son, the contractors, are also the lesses
of the National Tehauntepec Railroad. They
will have soon completed the rebuilding of
that line and proposed to build the railroad
track parallel to the existing road.
The steamship Governor Cobb, the first
turbine vessel built in America, sailed from
Roach's shipyard, at Chester, Pa., recently,
for New York, where her engines and boil-
ers will be installed. The Governor Cobb is.
a double-bottom steel vessel, having a main,
saloon, gallery and dome deck. There are
175 staterooms and about 200 berths. The
engines and boilers will be inclosed in steel
up through and including the dome deck, so
as to reduce the chance of fire from same as,
much as possible.
The United States Senate June 5th passed
the Naval Appropriation bill, including the
provision for a new monster warship. Sen-
ator Hale said that the provision was dif-
ferent from legislation for most new ships
in that it made no limitations in any re-
spect. He said the provision is loosely
drawn and that it would take six months to
make plans for the vessel. He also said
that the final cost of the vessel, armor and
armament included would be about $11,000,-
000, or twice that of the Oregon.
The United States cruiser Tacoma and the
tug Potomac, part of the escort of the United
States drydock Dewey on its journey to the
Philippine Islands, arrived at the League
Island (Pa.) Navy Yard on June 10, having
left the Dewey and its escort at the Suez
Canal. The Dewey, it is said, broke adrift
five times; and in each instance a line was
fastened to the big floating object in the
face of the greatest danger..
The big steel freighter to be launched at the
Ecorse shipyard Saturday for the Cleveland
Cliffs Iron Company will be christened Mich-
igan. The Michigan will be the first of three
10,000-ton steamers building at the Ecorse
yard for the Cleveland firm to be launched.
One of the boats will be named for J. H.
Sheadle, secretary of the company.
The various official proceedings in con-
nection with the separation of Norway from
fcweeden cost the latter country just $277,-
775, according to the Swedish budget.

Marie Cheng will be placed in the Esquimalt dock
for repairs.
The British tramp steamer Indradeo has re-
turned to San Francisco from Puget Sound for
the purpose of taking aboard 1060 mules here for
the sugar plantations of the Fiji Islands. Several
similar cargoes have gone hence to Fiji in times
past, but few vessels are so well equipped for
the work as the big Indradeo. The mules will
be taken on board at Port Costa.

Point Barrow as her probable destination. The
old cutter is to make a summer's cruise of it in the
Far North. Part of her crew consists of six mem-
bers of the Naval Reserves of San Francisco, who
are eager to obtain practical lessons in seaman-
ship.
For the last month the big British tramp
steamer Indrodeo has been at Mukilteo, on the
northern coast, having stalls built on her decks
for the 1060 mu'es that are to be taken on board
here for the Fiji Islands. It was originally in-
tended to have the animals taken on board at San
Francisco, but the absence of convenient facilities
has resulted in the sending of the Indradeo to
Post Costa, where the animals will be shipped for
the South Sea Islands.
Bringing about $200,000 in treasure, the first
shipment since navigation opened up on the Yu-
kon River, the Alaskan Steamship Company's
steamer Dolphin arrived at Seattle, Wash., on
June 8. On the steamer were fifty-three passen-
gers, twenty-seven of whom were from Dawson,
Atlin and other interior camps. It was the first
crowd of the season to reach Skagway and con-
sisted of the passengers of the river steamers
Thistle and Prospector. The two boats were the
first to leave Dawson for White Horse and
bucked the ice all the way to the Rapids City.
The new steam-schooner J. B. Stetson, built
on the northern coast and fitted at San Francisco
with engines and oil-burning apparatus, was
given a trial trip on the Bay on May 30, many
invited guests being on board. The trip was re-
ported to have been satisfactory. The Stetson,
which has engines of 750 horse-power, and will
be able to carry nearly 1,000,000 feet of lumber.
W. T. Neiman, formerly of the Oceanic liner
Sierra, is chief engineer of the new vessel.
The old sidewheeler Sehome, owned by the
Pacific Cosst Steamship Company, and now on
Puget Sound, is to be brought to San Francisco
for use as a mess and store ship by the com-
pany, taking the place of the Spokane, now in
commission. General Manager Pearce was at a
loss what disposition to make of the Sehome
until the present emergency arose, and believes
the vessel will prove to be the best possible thing
ior a floating hotel at the Broadway wharves.
The American-Hawaiian Company's steamer
Mexican, under construction at the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco, and which was thrown
from the blocks by the temblor on April 18, has
been put back in place, and work is now under
way in raising the Columbian, also building for
the same company. Actual work of constructing
these large steamers was never stopped, for much
could be done by the mechanics, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the vessels were not on an even
keel.
The French bark Beaumanoir, Captain Trigoet,
arrived at San Francisco on May 31, after a pas-
sage of nine months from Newcastle, Australia,
with a cargo of coal. On September 7 she ran
into a hurricane that threw her on her beam ends,
carried away much of her rigging and left the
vessel helpless at sea. She was fortunately
sighted by the steamer Mona, from Sydney, and
towed by that steamer into Guva. After a tedious
delay in making repairs the Beaumanoir resumed
her voyage.
With 1550 tons of dynamite and powder in her
hold the steamer Indiana arrived at San Fran-
cisco on May 30, eighty-three days from Phila-
delphia. Besides the explosives the Indiana has
1800 tons of merchandise for Coast ports. Cap-
tain Harry Struve, formerly of the transport
Hancock, is in command of the Indiana, which
has been purchased by the Barneson-Hibberd
Company, and is to be used on the -Nome and
St. Michael route, sailing from San Francisco
early this month.
First news of the arrival of salmon packers
from San Francisco has been received from the
North. The steamer Jennie and the ship
Llewelyn J. Morse arrived at Cook's Inlet prior
to May 15, and the steamer Unimak and ship
Star of Russia at Karlug have ben likewise re-
ported, as well as the steamer Chilkat at Pyra-
mid harbor. The steamer Alitak and the ship
Balclutha have reached Chignik Bay. Reports at
hand state that the season is open, and that the
canneries are in good condition.
Examinations of the steamer Columbia, of the
O. R. & N. line shows that the-damage sustained
by that vessel falling through the Union Iron
Works' drydock at San Francisco on the day of
the earthquake, will amount to about $90,000.
Besides the many big holes punched through the
hull, her cabins were ruined and will have to be
turn away It will be many months before the
Columbia can be again in commission. The dry-
dock was also ruined and another will have to
be built by the Union Iron Works.

The Shipping bill now pending in the
British Parliament will probably become a
law at this session. It was introduced by Mr.
Lloyd George and was based on the report
of three committees which had been investi-
gating the question. It is contemplated
under this act to compel foreign vessels
visiting English ports to comply with the
British laws in the same way that British
vessels are compelled to do.
The bill deals with overloading, unsea-
worthiness, and defective condition of hulls
and machinery, undermanning, etc., and
with stowage of grain, and life-saving ap-
pliances. The result of the British laws in
regard to shipping seems to have been ef-
fective. In 1872 the loss of life in the mer-
cantile marine was 3,533, in 1874 it was
4,171 ,and in 1904 it was only 1.113, a very
considerable reduction. In 1872 it was 1 in
64 of those employed on British merchant
ships. It now varies between 1 in 150 and
1 in 220. This is partially due to the gradual
substitution of steam vessels for sailing
ships, but the legislation with regard to life-
saving appliances, unloading, and unsea-
worthiness have had their effect. A for-
eign ship may arrive at an English port
overloaded without interference, though a
British ship would be heavily punished. A
foreign ship can visit a British port and sail
from it in a most unseaworthy condition and
the British Board of Trade have no right to
interfere, but in the case of a British ship it
is different. Under the proposed legislation
foreign ships would be subject to the same
regulations as British vessels. Complaint
in Great Britain is made particularly of for-
eign vessels carrying ore from the countries
of Spain, Norway, Sweden and one or two
others.
Another feature of the bill relates to pas-
sengers. Mr. George said that the Govern-
ment is of the opinion that no foreign sea-
men shall be engaged on board a British
ship unless he is capable of understanding
the word of command in the British langu-
age. At the present moment there is no
standard of provisions enforced upon the
British ship-owners. There is a Board of
Trade scale, or rather skeleton, which the
Board of Trade expects each owner to fill
up for himself. Too often, however, the
skeleton has been made, according to Mr.
George, the living scale. It is proposed to
provide a scale with which the shipowners
have to comply.
In 1904 the British sailors numbered 176,-
000 and the foreign sailors employed on
British vessels numbered 39,000, while there
were in addition 42,000 lascars employed.
Mr. Lloyd George excuses this employment
of cheap foreign sailors on the ground that
British seamen could not be obtained, but
others disagee with him on that point. A
good many British ships trade between for-
eign ports, never touching a British port for
years. Mr. Lloyd George stated in Parlia-
ment that in the United States vessels,
wages were higher and food better than in
British vessels.
The Ural gold production for 1905 was
193,644 ounces, a reduction of 7,852 ounces
from the 1904 production, caused by labor
strikes. The platina product amounted to
126,792 ounces in 1905, or 4,000 ounces more
than in 1904.

TACTICS OF THE ALLIANCE.
The action of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association, in locking out
the men employed on the docks and vessels,
under its control, is taken with the dual ob-
ject of dividing the maritime unions against
themselves and of prejudicing the public
against the unions immediately affected up-
on the ground of their alleged disposition to
take advantage of the calamity that has
recently befallen the people of San Fran-
cisco. The ulterior object of the lockout is,
of course, the disruption of trade-unionism
in the maritime industry.
Tl$e wholesale lockout of men in no way
involved, nor even remotely likely to become
involved, demonstrates the desperate char-
acter of the men who control the Association
and its parent, the Citizens' Alliance. The
dominating thought of the lockout evidently
is that by exposing the wives and families of
the locked-out men to added hardship, fol-
lowing the suffering incidental to the earth-
quake and fire, anger and hatred
will be turned against the sea-
men. Of course, no organization,
however strong, could long maintain a
position in contempt of the physical suffer-
ing of women and children. The Citizens'
Alliance undoubtedly foresaw this state of
public feeling and schemed to bring it
about. But the leaders of the Alliance did
not reckon upon the intelligence of the men
and women whom they would sacrifice in
the attempt to destroy the labor organiza-
tions . The victims of the Alliance may be
poor <n worldly goods, but they are rich in
experience. They have been there before.
They know that in any controversy between
a labor organization and the Citizens' Al-
liance or the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association their interests are
' '.th the former. They can not be used
agairtrfl their own kind by any schemes of
their mutual antagonists. Tt is perfectly
safe to predict that the resentment aroused
among the innocent victims of the lockout
will be directed against those who are really
responsible for that drastic measure of in-
timidation.
The plan to make it appear that the
unions are attempting to take advantage of
the existing conditions in San Francisco is
likewise doomed to failure, and for the same
reason, namely, common intelligence on the
part of the public. The unions' proposals
were submitted nearly five months ago.
These proposals were just and reasonable
when first submitted, and they have become
more so from day to day up to the present
time. Further, the ability of the shipowners
to concede the unions' requests has in-
creased with the passage of time. Again,
the unions' proposals apply to the whole
Pacific Coast, from San Diego to Seattle.
San Francisco is affected merely as one of a
large number of ports, and it can not in the
nature of things be exempted from the oper-
ation of the new wage-scale by reason of
the conditions of coastwise shipping. In
any event, the new wage-scale would not, if
conceded, affect in the slightest degree the
price of any article consumed by the people
of San Francisco. All talk of the seamen's
proposals being "inopportune" is just so
much dust-raising, designed for the purpose
of disguising the real object of the attack
upon the unions. When it comes to appor-
tioning responsibility for whatever incon-
venience may be suffered by the public as a
result of the present dispute, the latter will
find no difficulty in discriminating between
those organizations which are seeking to
secure a modest increase in their humble
wages, and those which in order to defeat
that object, and to destroy the organiza-
tions themselves, have tied up the port and
thereby submitted the entire community to
unnecessary inconvenience.
The disagreeable, but none the less
demonstrable, fact is that the Citizens' Alli-
ance and the United Shipping and Transpor-
tation Association have determined cold-
bloodedly to make a clean-up of the labor
organizations, just as their kith and kin in
other fields of endeavor have determined to
make a clean-up of the city's property. The
earthquake and fire have afforded the oppor-
tunity, long sought by the carrions of cap-
ital, to pounce upon and destroy everything
that stands in the community for manhood
and public welfare. However, San Fran-
cisco is not yet entirely helpless. The
Schwerins and Georges will learn before
they are through with their present enter-
prise that the labor movement of the city
is still able to give battle in defense of its
rights.
If the sympathetic lockout is to be con-
doned by the public, it will become neces-
sary for the latter to reconsider its judg-
ment upon the sympathetic strike. For our
own part, we are still of opinion that the
sympathetic strike is a bad thing, and that
it can't be made a good thing by the bad
example of the Citizens' Alliance.
Our friends of the Steamship Association
deny that they have raised freights, but they
do not deny that freights have been raised.
That is to say, freights have "just growed."
Those who pay the freight will doubtless be
much comforted by this information.

SHIPOWNERS WON'T ARBITRATE.
The question of arbitration having been
raised in connection with the water-front
lockout, the unions directly affected immedi-
ately declared their willingness to submit
the case to any disinterested party and to
abide by the latter's decision. This attitude
of the unions was formally conveyed to the
representatives of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association, with a request
for its co-operation. The Association, how-
ever, bluntly rejected the proposal to ar-
bitrate.
This attempt to bring about an adjust-
ment of the difficulty was carried on through
a committee appointed for the purpose by
the City Front Federation. The latter body,
at its meeting on June 6, adopted the follow-
ing resolutions:
Whereas, The sailors, firemen and cooks had,
prior to the earthquake and fire, asked for a slight
increase in wages affecting a small number of
men sailing in steam schooners, and the same
had been refused;
Whereas, No demands had been made by the
other affiliated unions for a change in wages or
conditions;
Whereas, The shipowners have locked out a
large number of longshoremen, and have tied up
a large number of steamers which are not af-
fected by this raise of wages;
Whereas, This action on the part of the owners
scent* to be intended to destroy the good name
of unionism throughout the country.
Resolved, By the City Front Federation in regu-
lar meeting assembled June 6, 1906, That we re-
quest all other affiliated unions to continue at their
usual employment as long as their services are
required and they receive the same wages and
conditions that were in force or were adopted
prior to the calamity which befell our beloved
and stricken city; and be it further
Resolved, That we deplore the position taken
by our employers in enforcing a sympathetic lock-
out at this time, thus cutting off marine trans-
portation to the city in the hour of need; and be
it further
Resolved. That we are at a loss to understand
the real object of the action so far taken and
therefore appoint a committee of five to confer
with the owners to obtain such explanation from
them regarding their purposes and desires as they
are willing to give.
A committee composed of Delegates
Casey, Holmes, McConnell, Williams and
Kean was appointed to confer with the rep-
resentatives of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association. The representa-
tives of both sides met on June 1 1, at which
meeting the Association submitted a pro-
posal that the unions should renew the old
agreements, to remain in force until January
31, 1907. This, of course, was simply a repe-
tition of the proposal upon which the parties
had previously split. The terms of the As-
sociation were rejected by the unions. The
committee of the City Front Federation was
then requested, in submitting the unions'
reply to the Association, to propose arbitra-
tion. This the committee did at a meeting
held on June 12. The result is set forth in
the report of the committee, as follows:
The committee of five of the City Front Federa-
tion met the committee of five of the employers
on Monday, June II, at 10:30 a. m., on board the
steamer H. J. Corcoran, and after a conference
lasting about three hours the employers submitted
the following to be presented to the seamen as a
settlement of the existing situation:
"That the agreement and conditions existing
April 17, 1906, between the Sailors', Firemen's and
Cooks' unions and the various steamship com-
panies of San Francisco be extended and con-
tinued in force and effect until January 31, 1907."
The committee of the City Front Federation
submitted the proposal of the employers to the
seamen and to-day at 9 a. m. received the follow-
ing from the sailors.
City Front Federation Committee — Gentlemen:
Your report and proposition coming from the
employers' committee was taken up by the Sail-
ors' Union of the Pacific last night and it was de-
cided:
First — That the proposal of the employers made
to the City Front Federation be not accepted.
Second — Motion made and carried unanimously
that the Sailors' Union of the Pacific declares its
willingness to submit the question of wages and
condition: to any fair, disinterested and unbiased

arbitration board, sitting in public, and agrees to
abide by its decision. Further, that the City Front
Federation committee be requested to present
these, our views, to the employers.
Sincerely yours,
A. FURUSETH, Secretary.
The City Front Federation committee at 10:30
a. m. to-day presented the answer and proposal
of the Sailors to the committee of the employers.
The employers, after a consultation among them-
selves, informed the committee of the City Front
Federation that they had decided not to accept
the proposals offered by the Sailors.
The committee of the City Front Federation
decided that they were not in a position to pro-
ceed any further in the matter without first re-
porting to the City Front Federation, which
meets to-morrow night.

Thus the situation stands at the present
moment. The Association practically de-
clares that it has "nothing to arbitrate." In
other words, the Association practically de-
clares that its contentions will not bear inves-
tigation. In the view of the Association
"might makes right," and it proposes to in-
voke that doctrine in the effort to make sea-
men and longshoremen bow to its imperial
mandates. The arbitrament of public opin-
ion will undoubtedly condemn such tactics
as unworthy of toleration and repugnant to
the common conception of fair play.
One thing is certain. If the seamen can
be defeated by the tactics now pursued by
the Association and the Alliance, every labor
organization in the world can be defeated
by the same means. All that a combination
of employers need do is to declare a sym-
pathetic lockout; and for that step an ex-
cuse equally as good as that existing in the
present instance need never be lacking. It
is doubtful, of course, if another combina-
tion can be found equally as unscrupulous
as the combination we are now dealing with.
Thank God there is no doubt upon one score.
The women and children won't stand to be
The plan of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association to force the sea-
men's unions into submission by exposing
the wives and children of the longshoremen
and other classes to hardship as a result
of the lockout is a plan of Indian warfare
(with all due apologies to the Indian). The
man or body of men who would wantonly
attack a woman or child is beneath contempt.
How, then, shall we characterize the men or
body of men who now willingly and ma-
liciously submit the women and children
to danger of attack? We leave it to the
women and children themselves to supply
language fit for the occasion.
There is no evil without its compensation.
The United Shipping and Transportation
Association is to be thanked for the demon-
stration it has afforded of the common in-
terest existing between all branches of the
maritime industry. The water-front lockout
goes to exemplify the old truth that labor
can always depend upon its enemies to do
by force that which its own reasoning fa-
culties do not suffice to dictate, namely, to
make it "get together."
A victory for President Schwerin, of the
Chinese-manned Pacific Mail fleet, and Pres-
ident George, of the scab-manned Citizens'
Alliance, will go far to hasten the doom of
liberty-loving American manhood on the
Pacific Coast and throughout the West.
Such a victory would be dearly-bought in
more than one way.

torious "union buster." The union that must
submit its case to these mew is in much the same
fix as the sheep that should attempt to negotiate
with a wolf.
The action of the Association explains the atti-
tude of the shipowners throughout the negotia-
tions with the seamen's unions. So far as the for-
mer are concerned, the negotiations were merely
so much sparring for position. They knew all
along that they were powerless to grant the sea-
men's requests, and so they pretended inability —
that is, financial inability — to grant these re-
quests. It was only after nearly three months of
this performance that the shipowners mustered
up courage to reveal their connection with the
United Shipping and Transportation Association,
and even then they denied the connection be-
tween the latter body and the Citizens' Alliance.
Now that the fat is in the fire, there can be no
mistaking the issue. That issue is: Citizens' Al-
liance versus Trade-Unionism. The unions of
Sailors, Marine Firemen and Marine Cooks and
Stewards are merely the scapegoats in the case.
The existence of the other unions whose mem-
bers have been locked out is equally involved in
the outcome. All the unions on the water front
must stand or fall together. We predict that the
result will be another, and let us hope a final, de-
feat for the unscrupulous and cruel alliance of
cheap men and Chinamen.

Those who had hoped for the extinction
of the Citizens' Alliance as a result of the
recent disaster are doubtless very much dis-
appointed by the more recent events. It
would appear that the Alliance is one of
the things that actually flourish amid condi-

SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
Headquarters, San Francisco, June 11, 1906.
Regular weekly meeting was called to order in
the Sailors' Home at 7:30 p. m., P. Scharrenberg
presiding. The Shipwreck Benefit was ordered
paid to three members wrecked in the schooner
Volunteer. The Committee on Permanent Quar-
ters submitted a report which was on motion re-
ceived and the recommendations contained there-
in adopted. The Committee on Ways and Means
reported that beginning Wednesday, June 6, the
United Shipping and Transportation Association
locked out the longshoremen from the Pacific
Mail, Oregon and Broadway docks; later the
sailors, firemen and cooks were locked out from
the Pacific Coast, Oregon and Coos Bay steam-
ship lines. The City Front Federation has re-
quested all unions not in immediate interest to
continue at work. The Federation also appointed
a committee to interview the employers and if
possible learn their purposes and desires. The
committee saw Mr. Pearce, manager of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company, who said that the mat-
ter was out of his hands. On June 11 the Federa-
tion's committee met the employers' committee
and the latter submitted the following: "That the
agreements and conditions existing April 17, 1906,
between the Sailors,' Firemen's and Cooks'
unions and the various steamship companies of
San Francisco be extended and continued in force
and effect until January 31, 1907."
The joint committee of sailors, firemen and
cooks met later and recommended: "(1) that this
proposition be not accepted; (2) that the City
Front_ Federation be requested to call meetings
of unions now involved or likely to be involved
for the purpose of explaining the situation to
them; (3) that the respective unions (Sailors, Fire-
men and Cooks) authorize their committees to call
their members out of the steamers belonging to
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company or any
other, except the Oceanic Steamship Company,
if in the judgment of the committee such action
is for the best interest of the organization." On
motion the recommendations were unanimously
adopted. It was moved that the Sailors' Union
declare its willingness to submit the questions
of wages and conditions to any fair, disinterested
and unbiased arbitration board, sitting in public,
and to agree to abide by its decision, and that the
City Front Federation committee be requested
to present these, our views, to the employers."
The motion was adopted.

.Major W. V. Judson, Government engin-
eer at Milwaukee, lias prepared some in-
teresting statistical tables on the registered

Lakes. Other tables are given showing the
appropriations, up to the present year, which
have been made for these five harbors and
the estimates of the sums necessary to com-
pli te the improvements. The tables are ap-

VESSEL-OWNERS SCARED.
The Lake Carriers" Association appears to
be having an attack of genuine alarm over
the amount of water Chicago wants to take
from Lake Michigan for the alleged purpose
of flushing the Chicago River. The Chica-
- are Seeking to attach a rider to the
Niagara Falls regulation bill, allowing them
to use 14,000 cubic feet per second, whereas
the best the Chicago River now takes is
4,325 feet per second.
The danger that the Chicago people will
succeed is considered so imminent that
Chairman Burton of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee has summoned President Living-
ston, of the Lake Carriers' Association to
hustle on to Washington and marshal his
strength in order to hold the committee from
giving so much of Lake Michigan to Chi-
'"1 do not understand what Chicago wants
with so much water," said Mr. Livingstone,
"but it certainly seems as if there must be
something more than sanitation behind it, as
the city is certainly already getting enough
water to carry off all its sewage. When you
remember that the lowering of the Lake one
inch will take from every vessel of the size
now being built an average of 100 tons in
her carrying capacity, the importance of
maintaining Lake levels is appreciated. The
effect of taking [4,000 feet per second out of
Lake Michigan is feared by all vesselmen."
The Canadian Government has started a
<• to work cleaning away the shoal
that runs out abreast of the Grand Trunk
freight shed at Point Edward and extends
down below the new Grand Trunk elevator.
For years the railroads have had a mon-
opoly on carrying bonded export goods
which pass through the Cleveland (O.) Cus-
toms house. Xow the D. & B. steamboat
line has determined to enter the field and
will make a strong bid for the business,
which is large and of a high class, assuring
gi n id freights.
Superintendent A. A. Schantz, of the
steamboat company, will make formal ap-
plication to Collector of Customs Whelan
to be allowed to do so. The D. & B. will
have to furnish a bond for $300,000.
Superintendent Schantz says that the
steamers Eastern and Western States will
carry the bonded goods. On each steamer
the big mom forward on the main deck,
now used as a sort of steerage for men pas-
sengers, will be converted into a strong
room, with iron bars on the windows.
These are large enough to hold about two
carloads 1 if freight.
All of the exports and imports are bonded
and the extent . if this business out of Detroit
can be appreciated when it is stated that
every month the exports from Detroit are
over Si ,000,000.
MORE RANGE LIGHTS.
In the I louse of Representatives recently a
bill was passed furnishing additional aids to
navigation at various points throughout the
country, and among these were the following
for Michigan waters: Lightkeepcr's dwel-
ling at Menominee Harbor, $5,000; lighthouse
off Martin's Reef, Lake Huron, $45,000; light
and fog signal, Rock of Ages, Lake Superior,
$100,000, in addition to $25,000 already ap-
propriated ; two range lights, Isle Aux Pechcs,
Lake St. Clair, $18,000. The last two lights
are for the purpose of marking the twenty- foot
channel and will be finished and handsome
structures of steel. The front light will stand
upon a riprap foundation which will be plated
with iron at the point where the ice will strike
it. The foundation will rise about seven feet
above the water, and upon it will be built a
keeper's house, above that being a tower to
carry the light. The rear light of the range
will be upon a steel tower sixty feet above the
water, and the lights will be 2,000 feet apart.
The temporal") lights now in use there are al-
ways carried away by the ice in the winter.
It is expected the lights will also be of some
use in aiding yachtsmen to get home from
Wolf's late at night.
Actual work on the proposed Lake front
improvement to be made by the Lake Shore
Company at Ashtabula, which is to consti-
tute an outer harbor, was commenced re-
cently and a 550 by 700-foot fill is now being
made from the beach for additional dock
track room. The new work will include the
construction of 3,900 feet of dockage and
2,000 feet of breakwater and it will take
three years to complete it.
One of the new steamers for Captain I >.
Sullivan will be built at Wyandotte. The
keel will be laid in the berth vacated by the
steamer Sir Thomas Shaughness\.
AIDS TO NAVIGATION.
The work of establishing aids to navigation
by means of ranges placed at various points
along the Lakes, which have a true magnetic
bearing, and by which compasses may be ad-
justed while boats are running, has been com-
pleted. The work was proposed some time
ago by the Navy Department. The original
idea was to establish ranges which would be
true north and south, but it was found impos-
sible to do this, because of obstacles in the
way.
The object of placing these ranges is to en-
able navigators to determine the deviation in
various localities caused by the magnetic at-
traction of large deposits of iron ore. Four
of these ranges have been placed to date, and
it is likely that others may be established.
Following is a brief description of the
marks and their location, as furnished bv En-
sign Yarnum :
Range No. 1 — Front mark. Sweet's Point
light; back mark, a tripod supporting a pole
mast on which is a double Creek cross, upper
arm painted black, lower arm and pole mast
painted white. Apex of tripod black, cage
alternate black and white. Range magnetic,
N. E. and S. W.
Range No. 2 — Front mark, Sweet's Point
light; back mark, a tripod same as former.
Range magnetic, S. 6 degrees 30 minutes !•'..
Range No. 3 — Two tripods as above on F.
and W. Pipe Island Twins. Range magnetic,
E. and W.
Range No. 4— In Straits of Mackinaw,
about five miles east of Mackinaw City, on
mainland, twin tripods as above. Range mag-
netic, N. E. and S. W.

MARINE NOTES.
The steamer Ferdinand Schlesinger, which
ran ashore near Middle Island, Lake Huron,
last fall, has left Milwaukee for Buffalo, after
completing repairs that cost $10,000.
W. H. Sanborn, of Port Huron, has sold the
wooden steamer Alaska to Canadian parties,
and the boat will become a Canadian bottom.
She has been used as a lumber carrier.
The master of the steamer Shawnee re-
ports having sighted a body in Lake Erie,
thought to be from the wrecked schooner
Algeria, butr the heavy sea prevented picking
it up.
The Racine Boat Manufacturing Company
has announced the plans for a $10,000 ma-
rine railway, 300 feet long and capable of
housing a craft drawing twenty-two feet of
water, which will be built at Muskegon.
The coal cargo carried by the steamer Zim-
merman, which was sunk sortly after the
opening of navigation, has been purchased by
the Algoma Steel Company, and when the
"boat is raised she will be taken to the Cana-
dian Soo to discharge the cargo before going
to drydock.
The fisheries of Maine last year gave em-
ployment to 15,093 persons, produced 10,435,-
524 pounds of fish and lobsters and paid $4,-
154,115 to those interested in the industry.
The lobsters and groundfish together were
valued at almost $2,500,000. The mackerel
•catch yielded only $31,000.
The hydraulic sand dredge John M. Mc-
Kercher was launched recently at the Ecorse
yard of the Great Lakes Engineering Works.
The boat is of a new type, designed to carry
coal and lumber as well as being operated as
a sand sucker. The craft is a steel construc-
tion, 170 feet long and 37 feet beam.
The steamer Badger State has been re-
measured at Buffalo. This steamer, which
was converted into a floating poolroom at
Detroit when the lid was put upon pool-
rooms, thence taken around the Lake to
Chicago, where she was utilized for the
same purpose, eluded the utmost vigilance
of the officiola, has now been purchased by
H. M. Loud's Sons' Company, at An Sable,
been rebuilt and converted into a lumber
carrier.
Marine men at Milwaukee, Wis., are pleased
at the conclusion amicably arrived at between
the city officials and Major W. V. Judson,
United States engineer, with regard to the
widening of Kinnickinnic River. When the
improvement is finished and the new bascule
bridges of the Northwestern and Milwaukee
railroads are in position, the harbor will be
second to none on the Lakes. The turning
basin near Kinnickinnic-avenue bridge will be
immense advantage to vessels going up that
river. The numerous coal boats that have ar-
rived within the past few days have completely
filled the dock space at the various coal com-
panies, thereby necessitating the holding of
three coal vessels in the outer harbor until
there is room to unload.
Sorren M. Sorenson, No. 2,022, Lake Sea-
men's Union, was struck by an ore bucket
at Dock No. 1, Conneaut, on May 25 and
knocked into the hold of the steamer Thomas
Maythem. He died at 12 o'clock on the
same day and was buried at Center Ceme-
tery, Conneaut, on Sunday, May 27. His
mother and brother live at Eldorado, Iowa,
and were duly notified.
The steamer Charles Weston was
launched recently at the Bay City (Mich.)
yards of the American Shipbuilding Com-
pany. The Weston will be ready for her
first trip about June 25. She has been char-
tered to carry ore from Duluth to Buffalo
and Susquehanna Iron and Steel Company
on the first trip. Being one of the largest
vessels on the Lakes the Weston will have
a capacity of nearly 11,000 tons.
The steamers Lambert, with 83,000 bushels
of corn and flaxseed, and the Wallace, with
80,000 bushels of flaxseed, from Duluth for
export, via Montreal, arrived at Ogdensburg,
N. Y., recently, and are discharging at the
Montreal Transportation Company's elevator
at Prescott, Ont. This elevator, with a capac-
ity of one million bushels, has been idle six
years, but the present grain rush down the
St. Lawrence route will work all the river
elevators to their full capacity.
Private advices received at Detroit from
Duluth were to the effect that the wrecks
of the Steel Trust steamers Crescent City
and Mataafa were scuttled on account of the
storm that recently raged on Lake Super-
ior. Wreckers had been at work on the
boats, which were driven ashore in the big
storm of last November, for weeks, and it
was hoped that they would be soon released.
How much damage the recent gale inflicted
upon the helpless vessels is unknown. They
were scuttled to prevent as far as possible
their pounding on the rocks.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
BRITISH CREW SPACES.
In the course of his annual report, Dr.
Williams, medical officer of health for the
port of London, makes practical suggestions
on the berthing of crews, which deserve
particular notice, especially as regards the
danger of contamination from improper
ventilating. It cannot be denied that, not-
withstanding the great progress made in
naval architecture in recenl years, the quar-
ter.-, assigned to the crew on board vessels
have undergone but scant improvement. Dr.
Williams says:
"I have continued to devote particular at-
tention to the inspection of crews' quarters
on board vessels, more particularly with a
view to obtaining some improvement in the
lighting, heating and ventilation of the
same. I regret to say that there is little or
no improvement, and it is a common ex-
perience to find that little attention appears
to be paid to these important details, not
only in old vessels, but in those of recent con-
struction. The ventilation is nearly always
insufficient, and frequently non-existent. The
commonly accepted necessary amount for
an adult person is 3,000 cubic feet of fresh
air per hour. In order to obtain this, in the
case of most ordinary forecastles, it would
be necessary to change entirely the whole
of the air inside the forecastle about forty
tmes per hour. This, of course, is impracti-
cable, owing to the small space to be dealt
with, and to the deficiency of means for the
extraction of foul and introduction of fresh
air is due in a great measure the foetid at-
mosphere characteristic of the ordinary fore-
castle. The common practice is to place a
six-inch cowl ventilator through the deck,
and this frequently opens immediately over
a bunk. This type of ventilator generally
acts as an 'intake,' with the result that the
occupant of the bunk receives the bulk of
the supply of fresh air and promptly stops
up the ventilator . Any suggestions for its
removal are usually met by a protest from
the owners that it has been put there by
direction of the Board of Trade. The prac-
tice of stopping up the ventilators is very
common, and arises from the fact that the
ventilators used are of a wrong type, being
inlets instead of outlets, and also from their
being placed in an unsuitable position. What
should be aimed at is the removal of the
heated foul air from the upper portion of the
crew's quarters, and a supply of fresh air
from outside through ventilators placed in
the doors, or ,in the case of lower fore-
castles, by 'down-take' ventilators carried
through the deck and opening near the floor.
The practice of placing ventilators over
bunks, or rather bunks under ventilators, is
so obviously wrong that it is not easy to
understand why such an arrangement should
ever have been sanctioned, even by any per-
son with the most elementary knowledge of
the principles of ventilation. It is generally
found that when the first rough weather is
experienced the ventilators are in danger
of being washed away; they are thereupon
removed and the opening covered over with
canvas, which is securely fixed and painted.
On many vessels it is found that, during the
winter months, the stove funnel is led up
through the ventilator, and the space be-
tween this pipe and the ventilator is blocked
in ; the polluted air which collects generally
in the upper part of the quarters thus has
no possible way of being removed and is
respired over and over again. Many sailors
suffer from tuberculosis of the lungs, and in
consequence expire numbers of bicilli at each
expiration; it is obvious that the risk of the
other occupants being infected under these
conditions is very great.
On the question of the lighting of crew
spaces, the following instance occurred dur-
ing November last : A steamer of 1,108 tons,
which was built in 1900, was lying in the
Upper Pool, and on the inspector going into
the crew's quarters he found that all the
available lamps, namely, four in number, had
been lighted in order to provide sufficient
light for the crew to see. The visit was
made in broad daylight. The crew's quar-
ters were of the usual pattern, namely, di-
vided in the center by a fore and aft bulk-
head, the starboard side being alloted to
sailors and the port side to firemen. Each
side was provided with two seven-inch
glazed ports in the side of the vessel, but not
otherwise provided with any means of ad-
mitting daylight. As is also usual, the
bunks occupied the same side of the quar-
ters as the glazed ports, and consequently
greatly obstructed what little daylight could
be admitted by this means. The floor space
was also found to be very limited. In re-
ply to my letter to the owners, they stated
that the same has been built to the require-
ments of the Board of Trade and duly passed
by them.' A letter on the subject to the Sur-
veyors' Department, Board of Trade, ob-
tained the reply that the Board's officer at
Cardiff, where the vessel subsequently went,
had inspected the crew's quarters and had
certified that 'both floor area and the light
were equal to the Board's requirements.'
(These are twelve square feet per head, and
also that there shall be 'so much provision
for light, when the ship is new and paint
clean, that if one-third of it be closed it will
be possible to read the print of an ordinary
newspaper in any part of the space.')
I understand the Merchant Shipping Act
will be amended during the next session of
Parliament, and the Board of Trade should
be urged to introduce clauses which will im-
prove the present conditions of life for sea-
men, especially in the following direction:
(a) Crew's quarters should not be placed in
the fore part of the ship, (b) Improved and
efficient ventilation, lighting and heating,
(c) Increase of cubic space, (d) Separate
mess-room and wash-house. If crews were
berthed aft all these requirements could be
carried out with the greatest facility."
Textile manufacturers the world over,
says the New York Journal of Commerce,
will be interested in three plans for the
scientific regulation of wages now under
discussion in England. The problems are
very difficult, but give promise of an early
solution. The principle is that of basing
wages on the returns on the capital em-
polyed. There is to be established a con-
ciliation board, and the rate of wages that
is to be the standard rate was that paid be-
fore the last 5 per cent advance. When there
is an increased return on the capital of 2 per
cent above the fixed rate of profit, then there
is to be an increase in wages, but no advance
or reduction of wages is to be made unless
the rise or fall in profit, as the case may be,
reaches at least 2 per cent. The working-
men find some difficulty in understanding
the proposition, but the opinion is generally
expressed that some basis will be reached
for a satisfactory understanding.

STRIKES IN GERMANY.
Strikes increase in number everjr year in
Germany. As shown by the published sta-
to employes living at a distance, pay pen-
sions in certain cases, and work people's
reading rooms, baths, hospitals, savings
banks, and cooking schools for girls are
maintained.
The annual report of the Imperial insur-
ance department for 1905, recently submit-
ted to the Reichstag, shows the sums paid to
beneficiaries under the compulsory insur-
ance laws in force for the protection to
workmen. For accident injuries $32,415,000
was paid to 1,034,773 persons injured, or
their dependents, an average of practically 1
out of every 60 of the total population of the
Empire. Sick and indigent persons received
last year $38,080,000. Annuities were granted
to 145,412 persons. To these sums is to be
added $40,460,000 paid yearly from the local
sick funds (krakenkasse) throughout the
Empire as sick benefits, burial charges, etc.,
making a total of about $111,860,000 an-
nually paid as benefits under the workmen's
insurance laws now in force. During the
same year 200 concerns employing labor
paid in gifts to workmen and in permanent
funds and other provisions for their wel-
fare, apart from wages, $27,608,000.
Reference is also made to the measures
adopted by the department of mining of
Prussia for miners' houses, of which 8,636,
with room for 18,962 families, have been pro-
vided wholly or partly at State expense.
Thirty-two buildings, with 5,051 beds, have
been provided for unmarried male employes
in the same manner and are furnished at
low prices.
It is perhaps too soon to determine how
these forms of State and private benevolence
may finally come to be viewed by workmen.
Large manufacturing concerns, from whom
much attention has been given to the class
of work referred to, have not wholly escaped
labor troubles during the past year. The
employee class have in some cases shown
an apathy toward present advantages and
future rewards for faithful service, and have
resorted to strikes and other means to secure
higher wages or shorter hours of labor. It
can at all events be said that the State has
with much ingenuity and skill sought to
lessen the distress due to accident, disease,
and old age among its wage-earners, and
that in all parts of the Empire private en-
terprise has done much toward the same
end. The results, worked out under condi-
tions differing much from those in the
United States, are thus far for the most part
satisfactory.
The Australian Old-Age Pension Commis-
sion recommends paying $2.50 per week to
every British white subject of the Com-
monwealth who is 65 or 60, if permanently
disabled. Exceptions are made of those
worth $1,550 or more or who have $130 a
year independent income. New Zealand and
the States of New South Wales and Victoria
have already such Acts in force, with a total
of 45,322 pensioners. It is estimated that it
will require $7,500,000 er annum for all Aus-
tralia.
The Pope's residence at Rome, with its
treasures, in money, is said to exceed $150,-
000,000 in value.
WORLD'S LETTER WRITING.
The publication of the world's postal sta-
tistics by the Universal Postal Union, at
Berne, develops some interesting facts from
which he deduces that from the amount
or nature of a country's correspondence one
can not estimate its commercial activity or
development along other lines.
Following is the arrangement in the order
of their importance of the number of let-
ters and postal cards passing through the
postoffice for 1905 of countries having over
20 per head: Great Britain, 78.3 per head
of population ; United States, 67.6 ; New Zea-
land, 66.3; Switzerland, 59.7; Germany, 55.9;
Denmark, 41.6; Austria, 38.2; Argentine,
37.2; Luxembourg, 34.6; Holland, 31. 1 ;
Belgium, 29.4; Sweden, 26.4; France, 26.2;
Norway, 20.5.
It is evident that the development of in-
struction can not be seen from the greatest
correspondence, for countries having com-
pulsory education, such as France, Den-
mark, and Norway, hold a mediocre place,
while other countries noted for the percent-
age of illiteracy are well in the front. It is
singular to note that the citizens of Austria
and Denmark write more letters than do
those of France. Belgium ranks eleventh
among the above. A commercial status or
other development does not figure, or both
France and Belgium would hold a better
position. It is seen that those of Anglo-
Saxon blood correspond more frequently
than do those of the Latin races.
Temperament might also figure, for it is
said on the Continent that an Englishman
will write to a friend fifteen minutes away
from his home, but that a Frenchman will
walk that far and communicate what he has
to say verbally. Nor do the facilities for
correspondence serve to increase it, for if we
compare the number of postoffices with the
population we find that Switzerland stands
first with a postoffice for every 896 of the
population ; Germany with one for every
1460; Portugal one for every 1,649; Rou-
mania one for every 1,815; Great Britain for
every 1,859; Servia for every 2,127; Den-
mark for every 2,586 ; Luxembourg for every
2,571; Austria for every 3,140; Italy for
every 3,791 ; Holland for every 3,981 ; Bel-
gium for every 3,981, and France for every
4>75i-
Great Britain derives the greatest profits
from her postal system, netting annually
about $23,438,627, the second country being
Russia with $20,595,595 profits. Russia is
not considered a letter-writing country, and
its printed matter is restrained, and yet upon
its peculiar system it derives good profits.
The Russian postoffice department em-
ploys 65,187 persons, while Germany em-
ploys 263,517 Japan employs 61,430, or al-
most as many as Russia, but its profits are
only $747,103.
SUICIDE IN GERMANY.
The Dominion Government has accepted a
legislative measure, already introduced in
Parliament, providing in substance that mas-
ters and mates of vessels on the inland waters
of Canada must be British subjects. It is ex-
pected that the bill will soon become law.
Clarence Parker, of Detroit, has pur-
chased the steamer Ottawa from E. C. Dun-
bar, of Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Parker has
sent Captain James McLarty and Engineer
William Watts to Charlotte, N. Y., to fit the
steamer out and bring her to Detroit.
The number of suicides for the past ten
years, as published in a Magdeburg (Ger-
many) newspaper, is remarkable in that it
shows such slight variations in the number
for each individual year. For example, in
the year 1895 there were 8,285 male and
2,225 female suicides, and in 1903, 10,017
male and 2,764 female. On a basis of 1,000,-
000 inhabitants, there were, in 1894, 353
male suicides; in 1899, 313, and in 1904, 92,
and in 1899 and 1901, 82 female suicides.
Remarkable is the steady increase in fe-
male suicides, due no doubt to the increased
activity of women in industrial pursuits.
The number for the Province of Saxony is
greater in proportion than elsewhere in
Prussia ; while the average for Prussia for
the years 1901 to 1904 is 198 to 208 in each
million inhabitants, the figures for this
province show an average of 307 to 342. The
figures, however, for some other German
States show a still larger proportion of sui-
cides. Reckoned on a basis of 1,000,000 in-
habitants for the year 1903 there were in
the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha 473, in the
free city of Lubeck 428, and in the year 1904
in the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg 415.
ENGLAND DISPOSES OF OLD SHIPS.
The extent to which British shipowners
dispose of old vessels to foreigners is shown
in statistical tables published in Lloyd's
Register of Shipping. The tonnage cleared
off in this way last year was 512,701 tons,
comprising steamships of 422,395 tons and
sailing vessels amounting to 90,306 tons.
By these sales, which are the largest since
1900, Germany acquired 101,903 tons, Italy
78,671 tons, Japan 66,328 tons, and Norway
59,702 tons. It must be a very considerable
advantage, from a British point of view, to
have a market like this for our "second-
hand" vessels. Tables which are included in
the registrar-general's returns indicate that
about 18 per cent of the tonnage removed
from the Register because of foreign trans-
fer was built before 1880, nearly 43 per cent
before 1885, 62 per cent before 1890, 78 per
cent before 1895, and over 90.6 per cent be-
fore 1900. In addition to the second-hand
tonnage transferred to foreigners, 52,464
tons were transferred to British colonies
during 1905, as compared with 37,464 tons
in 1904, 62,907 tons in 1903, and 32,603 tons
in 1902.
The present waterway between Stettin
and Berlin — over the old Finow Canal, built
in 1746, with 18 antiquated locks — has only
water enough for vessels of 170 tons burden.
Under the new project the course is to be
slightly changed, and the canal will have
eight new locks and will be so deepened as
to enable 600-ton crafts to ply between the
two cities. The estimated cost is $71,400,000.
When the canal is finished Stettin hopes to
regain a great portion of the lost trade that
has gone to Hamburg and Lubeck, due to
their excellent water connections with Ber-
lin.
Many German concerns own dwelling
houses, and rent the mto workmen at actual
cost. They provide restaurants and meals
at actual cost, furnish fuel at wholesale
cost, give transportation in whole or part
tralia.

King Alfonso and Queen Victoria,
of Spain, attended the opening of the
new workmen's dwellings at Madrid
on June 7.
Coal miners in the Kurri Kurri and
other districts in New South Wales
are agitating for the abolition of the
night shift.
W. C. Greene, few American miners
will remain in the camp in the future,
it is believed. They are crossing the
line in droves, and several hundred
have already arrived in Bisbee, Ariz.
Under the New South Wales Em-
ployers' iLability Act a miner named
William Savage secured a verdict for
£250 as compensation for injuries re-
ceived while employed by a contrac-
tor in a silver mine at Jerranderie.
For paying less than the rate of
wages fixed by the New Zealand Arbi-
tration Court, a Wellington furniture
manufacturer was fined £30. A boss
printer had to fork out £25, and a
builder £10, for similar offenses.
English Labor member O'Grady's
motion affirming that a measure was
urgently needed to provide old age
pensions out of funds received from
taxation, was recently carried without
division in the House of Commons.
The Professional Musicians' Asso-
ciation and other New South Wales
unions recently hauled a number of
defaulting members before the Arbi-
tration Court to recover arrears of
dues. In most cases the unions se-
cured verdicts.
Members of the Boot Trade Union,
of Brisbane, Queensland, are on solid
ground in stating that the fact that
men are at present working in some
factories for 25s. per week is sufficient
justification for demanding a State
Arbitration Act.
General managers of thr twenty-
three railroads entering Chicago have
decided that they will not grant any
increase in wages to their freight
handlers, and a strike of 4000 men ap-
pears imminent. The men receive
$1.75 a day and demand $2.
The New Zealand Arbitration Court
has fixed the wages of stationary en-
gine-drivers in the Otago district as
follows: First-class certificate' men,
10s. per day, and second-class, 9s.
Hours of labor not to exceed 48 per
week, exclusive of time occupied in
getting up steam.
The strikers at Odessa, Russia, are
assuming such a menacing attitude
that the authorities are actually ap-
prehensive of a repetition of the ap-
palling conflagration of last June.
The strike, which is declared to be
purely political, has paralyzed Rus-
sian navigation of the Black Sea.
At a conference of delegates from
the building trades, held at Sydney
recently to discuss the workings of
the New South Wales Arbitration
Act, the feeling was that the Act, in
its present form, was not aceptable to
organized labor, and rather than work
under the emasculated law delegates
were of opinion that a return to the
old methods of industrial warfare was
preferable.
The seventeenth Miners' Interna-
tional Congress at its session in Lon-
don, Eng., on June 6, adopted motions
demanding the passage of laws totally
prohibiting the employment of women
in the mining industry, the employ-
ment of children under 14 years of
age, adn the employment of boys un-
der 16 years of age in undt. ground
work. These motions were supported
by the American delegates.
In a fight at Tsaritsin, Russia, on
June 7, between Persians, whom local
contractors had imported to take the
places of striking longshoremen, and
a mob of strikers, a score of the latter
were killed.
The Melbourne (Victoria) Trades
Hall Council recently had a verbal
set-to with Premier Bent regarding
overtime payment to the carpenters,
painters, and other tradesmen work-
ing on the new Spencer street railway
station. Members of the deputation
contended that the men should be
paid for overtime and double time
for Sundays, but the Premier refused
to see things in that light.
The Sydney (New South Wales)
Labor Council has decided to request
the assistance of the Federal and
State Labor parties in putting a stop
to the practice of civil servants ac-
cepting employment as musicians at
places of amusement at less than
union rates, and serving as waiters at
low rates of pay. Members of the
unions affected complained of this
unfair competition, hence the Council'*
action.
John Burns, as President of the La
cal Government Board in England,
says that the Government will take up
the old age pensions question when
the report of the Poor Law Commis-
sion has been received. Personally
he considers that it would be best,
simplest, and fairest, in inaugurating
an old age pensions scheme, to give
everyone a pension of 5s. per week
on reaching the age of 65, military,
naval, civil, and municipal pensioners
to be excluded.
The New South Wales Shop As-
sistants' Union has asked the Sydney
Labor Council to take action to pre-
vent the Immigration Office in Lon-
don from circulating exaggerated re-
ports regarding wages paid to shop
Assistants in Australia. It is alleged
in London that drapers in Australia
were receiving 57s. 6d. and grocers
Sos. per week, when in reality wages
in Sydney and throughout New South
Wales do not average 40s. per week,
while 30s. to 35s. was in many cases
the highest wages received.
Over 100 employes at Metters &
Co.'s stove works, Sydney (New
South Wales), struck work recently
because the bosses wanted to substi-
tute piece-work for the weekly wage
system. The men state that under the
weekly wage system some of them
were receiving 25s. per week, but un-
der the proposed piecework plan they
would earn as low as 3s. a day, and
the best of them could not make 6s.
a day. They are now considering the
advisability of forming a union and
coming under the Arbitration Act.
The Sydney (New South Wales)
Labor Council recently passed a reso-
lution repudiating, on behalf of the
unions generally, the allegations made
by an employer named Forsyth, who
asserted before the Tariff Commis-
sion that he had been informed by
some unnamed person that the "ca'
canny," or "go slowly," system pre-
vails to an enormous extent in Aus-
tralia. It was also agreed that the
Commission should be asked for per-
mission to rebut the allegation. Labor
Senator Higgs. one of the Commis-
sioners, asked Forsyth whether he
thought it right to make such a state-
ment if he had not definite knowledge
of his own on the subject, but got no
intelligent reply.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
The French Cabinet has an-
nounced that the Government re-
fuses to recognize the right of state
employes to strike.
About 30,000 coal miners who have
been on strike for the past two months
resumed work throughout the State
on June 4. The remainder of the
mines opened during the past week.
The new mining town of Ernest, on
the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg
Railroad, live miles from Indiana, Pa.,
was the scene on June 8, of a conllict
between a detail of State constabulary
and striking coal miners in which eight
strikers were wounded, three of them
fatally.
Three hundred egg-candlers went on
strike at Chicago, 111., on June 5. The
work is clone mostly in dark base-
ments, and the candlers assert that ten
hours' work at a stretch is harmful
to their eyesight and general health.
Accordingly they are striking for an
eight-hour day at their present wage
of $3 a day.
The men of the Arizona Copper
Company in Morenci, Tex., recently
struck for an eight-hour day, and the
plant was tied up but having been
promised an eight-hour day beginning
July 1, the men returned to work on
June 4. The Direct Copper Com-
pany, at the same place, is trying to
break a strike for the eight-hour day
by putting to work many refugees
from San l'rancisco.
The joint conference of the Ohio
miners and operators adjourned on
June 7 in a disagreement. Both sides
declare that the fight is now on to a
finish. The miners' convention voted
unanimously to stand out for the 1903
scale, and it was decided to assess all
miners now at work in the State 5 per
cent of their wages for the support
of the strikers. The national organi-
zation will contribute $20,000 a week
to the strikers.
By a two-thirds vote, the striking
miners of the Hitchman Coal Com-
pany, at McMechen, W. Va., have de-
cided to apply for work at the mines,
thus severing their connection with
the miners' organization, on the
ground that the latter had not lived up
to its contract respecting payment of
strike benefits. It is said that an in-
dependent miners' organization will be
formed, national in its scope. Two
hundred diggers are employed at the
Hitchman works.
The International Typographical
Union has announced the election of
officers to serve for two years as fol-
lows: President, James F. Lynch;
first vice-president, John W. Hay;
secretary-treasurer, J. M. Bramwood.
Delegates to the American Federation
of Labor, Frank K. Foster, Frank
Morrison, Hugh Stevenson, Michael
Colbert. Trustees of the Union
Printers' Home are: Thomas F. Crow-
ley, W. J. White, L. C. Shepard, T. G.
Fennessey. Agent of the Union Print-
ers' Home, George P. Nichols.
The settlement of the Southwestern
coal strike, agreed upon on June 7
by a committee of miners and operat-
ors, assisted by John Mitchell, Presi-
dent of the Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, was ratified by the full committee
on the 8th. Orders to clean up the
mines have been issued and work will
be resumed on the 18th. The settle-
ment covers Indian Territory, Arkan-
sas, and Missouri, and involves more
than 32,000 men. The 1903 scale is
to prevail for two years and small
difficulties at two mines are to be ar-
bitrated.

Fire started on the American Line
cotton docks at St. George, Staten
Island, on May 21, and destroyed two
warehouses containing cotton. The
loss is $250,000.
The bark Francis S. Hampshire,
from Port Arthur, forty-five days
overdue because of calms, arrived at
New York on May 15 with her pro-
visions exhausted.
T. H. Lindell, ensign on the United
States ship Iroquois, has been sen-
tenced to five years' hard labor by
Circuit Judge de Bolt, at Honolulu,
T. H, for a felonious assault.
The Mexican Government's reply to
the American inquiry as to the seizure
of American fishing schooners was re-
ceived on May 25. It shows that the
ships were in Mexican waters in vio-
lation of the Mexican law.
The British steamer Oakburn, which
sailed from New York on April 19
for Sydney, New South Wales, has
been wrecked off Duyker Point, near
Cape Town, S. A. It is reported that
her crew, with the exception of two
Chinese, were saved.
The Allan liner Ionian, which ar-
rived at Montreal on May 27, from
Liverpool, reports that at midnight,
May 21, in midocean, she rescued the
master and crew, fifteen in all, of the
Norwegian bark Trio of Tonsborg.
The Trio had lost her masts and was
leaking.
The steamer Nieu Amsterdam,
which arrived at New York on May
21 from Rotterdam and Boulogne,
made a new record for speed on the
route of the Holland-American line.
The time of passage from Boulogue,
the last port of departure, to Sandy
Hook lightship was eight days eight
hours and thirty minutes.
Count Julian D. Owies, Commercial
Commissioner from Chile, has arrived
in the United States to obtain a ship
subsidy from this country for a steam-
ship line between the west coast of
Panama and Valparaiso, better rail-
road facilities for carying freight
across the Isthmus while the canal is
building', and to interest American
capital in the establishment in Chile
of an American bank.
The new Hamburg-American liner
Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, the larg-
est passenger steamer afloat, with a
gross tonnage of nearly 26.000, com-
pleted her initial trip across the At-
lar.tic on May 19, arriving at New
York from Hamburg, Dover and Bou-
logne. She brought 490 saloon and
1706 steerage passengers. The Kais-
erin Auguste Victoria made an ave-
rage speed of seventeen knots.
Trouble with a condenser which de-
veloped after a preliminary trial spin
to Moneghan Island on May 22 will
delay at least two weeks the builders'
acceptance trial of the United States
battleship Georgia. The run on May
22 was for a final test before the of-
ficial standardization trial. The bat-
tleship made a good showing, dupli-
cating an estimated speed of 18.9
knots an hour with ordinary coal. The
eGorgia will repair at Portland, Me.
The United States first-class battle-
ship Louisiana left Newport News,
Va, on May 21 for the Norfolk Navy
Yard, where she will be turned over
to the Government. The Louisiana is
the first to be delivered in the com-
petition between Government and pri-
vate yards in the building race which
has been on for nearly two years. The
Connecticut, a sistership which is be-
ing built by the Government at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, is not yet com-
pleted.

At the Ball.— He— ''May I have the

Pa— "What I"
Tommy — "You said it would make
me sick, but it didn't."
Pa — "You misunderstood me, my
me that strap."
The Place for It— Cokeley— "My!
what a lot of gold mines are being ex-
ploited now."
Jokeley — "Yes, and there's one mine
that's bound to go to the wall."
Cokeley— "What's that?"
Jokeley — "Calcimine."
The Feminine View. — "Did you see
that story about a rich young fellow
in Pittsburg who ran off with his
mother's maid?"
"Yes. What a shame!"
"I think so, too. Why, it's next to
impossible to get a good maid."
His Escape. — The steeplejack had
been painting the lofty vane.
"Don't the crowds annoy you?" he
was asked when he came down.
"Oh, no," he replied; "I'm so high
up I don't hear what they say, and so
many rubbers would break a fall any-
how."
The Main Point. — "See here," said
Popley, "I don't propose to have that
burglar alarm in our room. We'll rig
it up down in the hall."
"But," protested his wife, "we
wouldn't hear it and wake up when it
goes off."
"Neither will the baby."

PROGRESS OF THE STRIKE.
CONDITIONS in the strike and lockout of
Sailors, Firemen and Cooks and Stewards at
San Francisco and other Coast ports indi-
cate an early victory for the unions.
Notwithstanding every effort on the part of the
shipowners represented in the United Shipping
and Transportation Association to secure crews
of any kind, the greater number of their vessels
remain tied up. Those vessels which have gone to
sea have been manned on deck, in the fire-room
and in the galley and cabin with green hands — in
most instances with men and boys who have had
absolutely no experience at the work.
A large number of men of this kind have left
the Association vessels after learning the true
state of affairs, while others, induced to go on
board under misrepresentation, have been de-
liberately shanghaied.
The employment agents responsible for the
shipping of green crews will be prosecuted for
violation of the Navigation laws. Legal steps will
also be taken against those shipowners who send
their vessels to sea in an under-manned condi-
tion.
Despite every resort of trick and device, includ-
ing the payment of a bonus, the Association ves-
sels have so far been unable to send more than
a very few vessels to sea, the large majority of
the Association fleet being left to "rot in its neg-
lected brine" in Oakland Creek and elsewhere.
Meanwhile the steam-schooners and steamers
owned by independent firms are pursuing the even
tenor of their way. The owners of these vessels
are employing union crews at the union rate of
wages, and are presumably well satisfied with
their bargain.
Along the water front of San Francisco the
situation has been considerably improved during
the week. The lockout of longshoremen has
been relieved to a great extent by the re-employ-
ment of that class of labor. Many of the long-
shoremen tints employed are engaged in loading
and discharging vessels manned by non-union
crews, and, where crews are not available, are
doing seamen's work in moving the struck ves-
sels from dock to dock.
This condition, although an injury to the sea-
men in one way, helps of itself to clear the situa-
tion. The longshoremen were locked out at the
outset, two weeks ago, for the apparent purpose
of throwing the weight of these men into the scale
against the Sailors, Firemen and Cooks and Stew-
ards. The re-employment of the longshoremen
relieves the unions immediately involved of what-
ever responsibility may have attached to the lat-
ter for the enforced idleness of the former. The
seamen's unions are prepared to make the fight
alone, if need me; in fact, they prefer to do so.
The lockout of the longshoremen was a scheme
conceived and executed by the Association en-
tirely as a war measure and without the slightest
justification in the circumstances. It was in
reality a repetition of the barbarian and cowardly
practice of putting the women and children and
other non-combatants on the firing line as a shield
from the opposition. That the longshoremen
have been put back to work, even although it be
to work with non-union crews or on board struck
vesse's, is a good thing, inasmuch as it indicates
a weakening on the part of the Association and
tends to ci mline the struggle to the parties im-
mediately involved.
So confined, there can be but one result, namely,
victory for the seamen.
The reasoning tactics of the United Shipping
and Transportation Association remain the same
as before. That is to say, the Association con-
tinues the policy of making it appear that the
unions are actuated by a desire to take advantage
of "existing conditions" in San Francisco, and that
it (the Association) is actuated by a desire to al-
leviate these conditions. At first blu>h this ap-
pears to be a very shrewd game, but upon reflec-
tion it will be seen that there is absolutely noth-
ing in it.
The simple fact is that "existing conditions"
have nothing to do with the case on either side,
least of all on the side of the Association. The
conditions leading up to the present trouble are
of long standing. Upon the seamen's side these
conditions consist in a question of wages that has
been pending for several years. Upon the Associ-
ation's side the question is one of the "Open
Shop" versus Trade-Unionism on the water front
of San Francisco. "Existing conditions" are
merely roped in by the Association with the ob-
ject of disguising its real purpose; that is, to dis-
guise a nefarious and reactionary policy with the
pretense of solicitude for the welfare of the public.
The Association was aware of the unions' de-
mands months before the "existing conditions"
anise. The Association rejected these demands,
ui)nn the pretended ground of inability to concede
them, but in reality upon the ground of principle
— the principle that to concede anything to the
unions would be contrary to its "Open-Shop"
policy. It was only after the earthquake and con-
flagration that the Association summoned up
courage to declare itself. Even then it continued
its pretense, but in a different form. Instead of
pleading inability to grant the increase of wages
asked for, the Association now liases its refusal
upon the ground of "existing conditions." And, in
order to make this ground more tenable, the As-
sociation has declared a sympathetic lockout af-
fecting large numbers of men who, in the natural
order of things, need never have quit their em-
ployment.
The Association's case stands thus: An excuse
of some kind is badly, even imperatively, needed.
The excuse of "existing conditions" was hit upon
as that most available in the circumstances. And,
lest the actual "existing conditions" should upon
reflection fail to justify the action of the Associa-
tion, the latter determined to add to these condi-
tions— to make them worse — by action of its own.
Hence the sympathetic lockout!
So far as "existing conditions' enter into the
controversy at all, it remains to be said, first, that
the demands of the seamen's unions need not of
necessity add a single cent to the cost of any com-
modity entering the port, and, secondly, that these
demands, if conceded, would tend to relieve the
situation rather than aggravate it.
The steam-schooner owners are perfectly able
to pay the wages asked. They have acknowledged
that much, and would doubtless now be paying the
increased scale, but for the interference of the
United Shipping and Transportation Association
and the Citizens' Alliance. The fact that many
steam-schooner owners are actually paying the
new scale is the best possible proof on this point.
As to the real effect of the seamen's demands
upon the conditions brought about by the recent
disaster, the patent fact is that the granting of
these demands would, by affording greater in-
ducements to seamen, greatly facilitate the com-
merce of the port. A marked scarcity of seamen
had existed in San Francisco for many months
prior to the fire; this condition was increased by
the latter event. Employers of labor on shore,
when confronted by a similar condition, have
voluntarily increased wages. Not so the ship-
owners. These gentlemen are loud in support of
the law of "supply and demand" — that is, in
ordinary circumstances. When supply exceeds
demand, as it most frequently does, the shipown-
ers proclaim their obedience to the laws of politi-
cal economy and declaim against any attempt or
proposal to run counter to these laws as so much
sacrilege. But when the boot is on the other leg —
when demand exceeds supply — that is another
story. Of course! In such event the shipowner
discards Adam Smith and takes up Herbert
George as the economist of the occasion. In brief,
the shipowner regards the laws of political econ-
omy much as he docs the laws of Congress,
namely, as things to be respected as long as they
work to his own advantage, and to be ignored and
even violated the moment advantage is transferred
to, os shared by, others.
In the present instance the seamen's unions
have both law and justice on their side, and they
are bound to win.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
LOS ANGELES HEARD FROM.
The very gratifying intelligence has come to
i three years of "strenuous" effort
is' Alliance has broken up the Binding
Trades Council of Sacramento. That is, they
have broken it up the "way the old woman kept
It will probably be remembered that
she "1 em like hell." And that is just
about the way the Citizens' Alliance breaks up
inions everywhere.
The Building Trades Council of Sacramento
and the contractors have wisely come to the con-
clusion that "peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than war." They have signed a compact
rk in harmony for the future welfare of the
city, as well as their own. They would have done
if the "Buttinsky Club" had not
y. Thus another notch has been
hied FROM "Meddlesome Herb George's 'gun.'"
But not satisfied with the drubbing he has
where received, he now proposes to put the Sail-
ors' l'nion out of business.
The sailors have, for several years, had a Fairly
satisfactory working agreement with the Ship-
owners' Association, tin- Steam-Schooner .Man-
ager's Association, the Oceanic Steamship Com-
pany, (the Spreckels line) and some others. The
sailor, however, is like other people; he is not sat-
[ to work up to certain standard, that is per-
ess than half way up the hill of civilization,
and stop there as a permanent resting place. He
feels that he too is entitled to take part in, and
become a factor in, the onward march of human
progress. He feels that life should have some-
thing more in store for him that a paltry $40 per
month and "found," such finding as it is.
Perhaps if they should try it a while. Mr.
George and his satellites would not think that the
"sailor's life is so bold and free," as the musically
inclined have been led to believe. His life is bold
enough, to be sure. If some of these wise guys
had to load those cargoes in the open ports on the
rock-bound Mendocino coast, and then get out in
tming breakers in an open boat for the sake
of saving a few old rotten lines, they would prob-
ably be willing to admit that the sailor is entitled
to all he can j
ll is a hard, rough life at best, and furthermore
it requires considerable skill and oftentimes the
most undaunted courage to perform the necessary
work. The accommodations in the way of fore-
castle, or sleeping quarters, while far superior to
those of former times, when there was no union,
are still lacking in many respects what would be
recognized as commodious, or even comfortable
on shore. The union calls for mess-rooms, or suit-
able dining-rooms, for the crew, but some owners
have, so far, ignored this rule, and it is part of the
seaman's demand at the present time, that this
rule should be complied with.
The Sailors' l'nion has had the mitts on before,
and while they have received a few scars of con-
flict, they are still in the ring, prepared to go the
limit. They have a strong alliance in most of the
Pacific Coast ports with the Pacific Coast Federa-
tion of Longshoremen, or with independent locals
of that craft. The shipowners know all of this,
and they also know that the seamen have a large
defense fund, and opportunities for employment
in San Francisco at present that will enable them
to hold OUl for an indefinite period.
They (the owners) are receiving from 50 to 75
per cent more than an average price for hauling
lumber from the northern ports. The plea that
they cannot pay the increase of wages asked with-
out advancing the price of lumber is without force
or foundation in fact. They are charging all that
the traffic will bear anyway, and were doing so
before the fire. They complain that the price of
and stumpagc has advanced. Granted that
this is true, it is also true that the Owners of the
stumpage, the mills, vessels and the yards at the
point of final consumption, are the same identical
persons, firms or corporations, only masquerading
under different names. The stockholders in one,
arc usually stockholders in all. The contention
that they are not making any money, is hardly
borne out by the facts, when in the little town of
Hoquiam alone, anyone can see three large steam-
i-.ers on the stocks at the present time. Tf
they are making no money on the vessels they
have now, how is it that they are building dozens
more just like them? The simple truth is, that
the shipowners are ready and willing to pay the
and would pay it, and grant all of the sea-
demands, but for the interference of the
United Shipping and Transportation Association,
which is only another name for the Citizens' Alli-
ance, backed by the notorious Pacific Mail Com-
pany, that carries nothing but Chinese crews,
that can be seen at meal time sitting in the mid-
dle of the main deck, eating rice out of a common
pan with chop-sticks.
This interloper is trying to do for the Pacific
Coast ports what he has failed to do for Sacra-
mento, and nearly every other portion of the
United States, where he has pitched his tent of
industrial prostitution. He will fail, as he ought
to fail, and as all men usually do fail who start
out to tear somebody else down in order to build
themselves up. He has never tackled as hard a
game as the one is is going up against now. That
he will get the worst drubbing of his unsavory
career, is a foregone conclusion. — Z. W. Craig, in
Union Labor News, Los Angeles, Cal.
LABOR CLARION'S VIEWS.
When the lockout was declared the officials
of the water-front unions were, for the time
being, at a loss to account for the extraordinary-
action taken, but when the statements of repre-
sentatives of the shipowners appeared in the
daily press it became evident that the employers
had decided that this was an opportune time to
inaugurate the "Open-Shop" campaign planned
when the United Shipping and Transportation
ation was formed. The membership of
this organization comprises the following com-
panies: Pacific Mail Steamship Company, Occi-
dental and Oriental Steamship Company, Oceanic
Steamship Company, San Francisco and Portland
Steamship Company, Western Fuel Company,
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, Steamship
iation of San Francisco, Master Steve-
dores' Association, American-Hawaiian Steam-
ship Company, Kosmos Steamship Company.
The only one of these companies affected by
the unions' demands for improved conditions is
the Steamship Association of San Francisco
Some of these companies do not employ union
men on their vessels and consequently could not
have been affected had the Sailors, Firemen,
Cooks and Stewards determined to call out their
members on other vessels than the steam-
schooners. As a matter of fact, however, such
action was not contemplated by the unions. In
declaring a sympathetic lockout and in endeavor-
ing to create the impression that the unions'
demands originated since the fire, the Directors
of the United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation are plainly trying to manufacture anti-
union sentiment. They evidently believe that if
they succeed in convincing the public that the
unions are fairly responsible for tying up ship-
ping, and thereby seriously retarding the rebuild-
ing operations now in progress, the indignation
of the people will become so intense that they.
will actually applaud the most extreme union-
crushing measures that can be devised.
Will this program be successful?
It cannot be successful unless every vestige of
the spirit of fair play and square dealing has
departed from our people. No man who chooses
to acquaint himself with the facts of this situ-
ation will fairly charge the unions with having
attempted to take advantage of the unusual con-
ditions now existing in San Francisco. The
demands for increased wages, be it remembered,
were determined on when absolutely normal con-
ditions prevailed, and the only change in the
situation that has occurred has been the heavy
increase in the profits of the employers, brought
about by the raise in freight rates and the in-
crease in the price of lumber. The conditions
which prompted the demand for increased wages
are well understood in shipping circles. For
some time past it has been a difficult matter to
secure all the seamen required in the coastwise
trade, large numbers of men who were qualified
for the work having engaged in other pursuits
offering more acceptable conditions with respect
to wages, hours, etc. Vessels have constantly
left this port short-handed, and had not the mari-
time branch of the Citizens' Alliance been formed
to establish the "Open-Shop" policy on the water-
front, the Steamship Association would willingly
have agreed to increase the wage rate in order
that a supply of competent men might be as-
sured. Since the steam-schooner owners were
asked to grant an increase in the wages of a
portion of their employes the owners of sailing
vessels running to southern ports, Hawaii and
the Philippines have granted an increase of $5
a month, their action being prompted by a scar-
city ot men, and members of the Steamship As-
sociation (steam-schooner men) have privately
admitted that they would grant an increase in
wages did not their obligation to the United
Shipping and Transportation Association prevent
independent action. — Labor Clarion, San Fran-
cisco.
EXAMINER DEMANDS ARBITRATION.
It is an unfortunate thing that the steamship
companies should have met the strike of the
sailors of the lumber steamers with a threat of a
general lock-out.
It is unfortunate that any industrial difficulties
should have culminated at this crisis in the city's
history. The rebuilding of the city and its com-
merce, both of which are hampered by the labor
situation on the water .'ront, are of greater im-
portance than the pride of any employers' or-
ganization or the demand of any labor union.
The questions at issu~, important in themselves,
should not be fought out now. If ever there was
a time that called for abnegation and a sinking of
personal interest, it is now. It is a difficult thing,
of course, for men wholly in earnest to forego
a struggle. But this is a time when the interests
of the whole city must be held superior either
to humbling an aggregation of employers or
crushing an aggregation of workingmen.
The speedy rebuilding of the city spells pros-
perity to both the lumbermen and the working-
men. Until this is accomplished all other mat-
ters should be laid aside.
Arbitration could undoubtedly settle the con-
troversy that now threatens to tie up the whole
waterfront. Arbitration should be insisted on to
provide at least a temporary workingmen's agree-
ment, and when the city is again as it was, when
the parties who will suffer most by the conflict
are the actual parties to the controversy, let them
light it out if they have to.
But now peace means everything and the Ex-
aminer begs both sides to heed the city's cry of
distress and to forego their evident intention to
engage in a long conflict, regardless of what that
means to the rest of San Francisco. Arbitrate! —
The Examiner, San Francisco.
EUREKA IS WITH SAILORS.
The Sailors' Union of the Pacific is making a
demand for an average increase for all hands
of $5 per month. This decision was arrived at
last February and the owners of vessels have
had the time elapsing since then to prepare for
making the change. Although the increased ship-
ping has enabled the shipowners to increase their
freight rates they now come out with the state-
ment that they cannot afford to grant an increase.
The extra shipping that will be caused in the re-
building of San Francisco will make a great deal
of extra hand work for the sailors, and yet the
shipowners want them to work for the same
- they have been working for. If it were a
question of aiding the San Francisco sufferers
the sailors would doubtless refrain from making
any demand at this time, but it is merely a ques-
tion of allowing the shipowners to have all of
the vast increase in profits, besides having to work
harder than before on account of rush orders that
necessarily will be going with all boats. The sail-
ors took their stand long before the San Fran-
cisco disaster, and will stay by their original
position. — Labor News, Eureka, Cal.
VOICE OF BUILDING TRADES.
There is trouble threatening on the water front
Several months ago the Sailors' Union of the Pa-
cific requested an increase of wages of $5 a month
for the men who go in vessels down the high
seas. The Union also at the same time asked for
a mess-room for the sailors. Several conferences
were held between the representatives of steam-
schooner owners, and the Sailors' Union, without
satisfactory adjustment. As a result a number of
steam-schooners have been tied up and about
1,500 stevedores were laid off last Thursday. This
state of affairs on the water front has at this
time come very much as a surprise to the city. A
community can ill afford industrial troubles at
any time, and San Francisco in her present de-
plorable condition ought certainly to be able to
get along without any disturbance of this kind. —
Organized Labor, San Francisco.
PORTLAND IN LINE.
There is a tie-up in San Francisco on the water
front between the sailors and ship masters. It is
due to the refusal of the masters to give the sail-
ors an increase in wages of $5.00 per month. The
purpose of the shipowners in forcing a strike is
unquestionably to prejudice public opinion against
the sailors for making the demand at this time.
The truth of the matter is the sailors made their
request for the advance three months ago, and
it would have been granted them ere this had the
San Francisco calamity not occurred when it did.
The shipowners are the ones guilty of using the
great misfortune to further their own interests.
The infirmities of the afflicted offtimes make big
bullies brave. — Portland (Or.) Labor Press.
SUEZ CANAL RECEIPTS.
United States Consul J. C. McNally sends
from Leige a newspaper statement that the
gross tonnage of the ships which passed
through the Suez Canal in the first quarter of
the present year was 4,934,345 tons, against
5,139,424 tons in 1905, and 4,648,529 tons in
1904. The net tonnage in the three years,
respectively, was 3,527,243, 3,701,145, and
3,306.539 tons. The tonnage dues received
were $5,242,000 in 1906, $5,968,181 in 1905.
The pasenger receipts in the two years
amounted to $189,003 and $128,940,
respectively.
Machinery was imported last year into the
Transvaal to a value of $8,807,130, as com-
pared with $239,910 in 1904. It is noteworthy
that^during the second half of last year the
value imported was $4,585,115, against
$3,222,015 in the first half, the whole set of
figures showing steady improvement in the
purchases.
The Swiss authorities, now that the Simplon
tunnel is nearly ready for use, have signified
willingness to reopen to automobiles some
of the roads that have been closed to them in
the Canton Valais.

BALK AT "CANNED WILLIE."
"Canned Willie" continues to be passed
out from the galleys of the warships of the
United States Navy, anchored in the North
River and the Brooklyn Navy Yard — Mr.
Upton Sinclair, please write the President.
These are superior days for the "bum-
boat man," for bluejacket and marine alike
are an strike to a last man against eating
tht strange compound mixed in the great
packing houses, which the President char-
acterized as "filthy." The fame attained by
"embalmed beef" in the Army during the
Spanish-American war is nothing to the dis-
tinction the very same product, under the
name of "canned Willie," has attained in the
Navy.
There is but one relief for the $i9-a-month
bluejacket — the "bumboat man." The lat-
ter is the unofficial commissary, who, when
a warship is in port, comes aboard at "mess
gear," fifteen minutes before meals are
served ,with fruit, pies, ice-cream and fresh
milk. The heroes afloat can patronize the
"bumboat man" to the extent of their slen-
der purses, and this is precisely what they
are doing, now that the Navy Department
insists upon providing the product of pack-
ing-houses for their messes.
The situation in the Navy is a great deal
worse than in the Army. Rear-Admiral H.
T. B. Harris, Chief of the Bureau of Sup-
plies and Accounts of the Navy, says :
"I don't propose to condemn the canned
meats we have on hand unless I am author-
ized to do so by the White House. The
Navy at New York has over $500,000 of these
supplies, and I should judge that on the
fleets there are about $250,000 more. I could
not take that value of goods to sea and
dump it without special authority from the
President."
So the poor bluejacket must either eat his
"canned Willie" or continue to patronize the
"bumboat man." But even the sailor worm
will turn, and judging from conversations an
Evening World reporter had recently with
various enlisted men now in port the flip-
flop is now in its first process of its con-
summation.
"We read the newspapers," lamented a
bluejacket of class No. 1 special — the man
who has been sober for six months and can
go ashore whenever his work is done — as he
climbed to land from a launch of the armored
cruiser Maryland today.
"They gave us "canned Willie" last night
and it turned our stomachs," he went on, as
he headed for the Seventy-ninth street sta-
tion of the subway. "Not a man in my mess
of twenty would touch the stuff. It was the
same all through the galleys, and out of 700
men only a few half-starved men, out of
credit with the 'bumboatman' and under re-
striction to the ship, ate any of the canned
beef." — New York Evening World.
NO FOOD FOR ELEVEN DAYS.
The Norwegian steamer Romsdal arrived
at Philadelphia, Pa., recently, from Porto
Plata and reported passing a mast standing
upright in sixty fathoms of water on May 30,
in latitude 36.05 north, longitude 75.13 west.
From the appearance of the water at the
surface it was evident that spar was at-
tached to submerged wreckage.
A suit for $2,500 was filed in the United
States District Court at New York recently,
by John Munrad, a barge captain, against
the Florida East Coast Railroad, which is
to be allied with the Standard Oil Company.
Captain Munrad was discharged from the
Norwegian Hospital April 20, whence he was
forced to go, as is alleged in his complaint,
because the defendant company caused him
to remain without food for eleven days on
a barge anchored fifteen miles off Key West.
Munrad left Mobile January 6, as is set forth
in his affidavit, in charge of three barges in
tow of the tugboat Dauntless, bound for
Miami, Fla. When fifteen miles off Key
West the Dauntless left the tow, as the
water was too shallow for her to proceed.
The tug Sybie was expected to come for the
tow within two days, but through a misun-
derstanding of orders, it is alleged, Munrad
was left on the barge without food for eleven
days. He was nearly dead when, on the
eleventh day, the schooner White Sand, in
command of Captain Bethel, came by and
took Munrad aboard . Munrad drew his pay
at Miami and went to New York. He was
there only a short time when he was com-
pelled to go to the Norwegian Hospital be-
cause of illness brought on by his exposure
on the barge.
Munrad maintains that his illness makes
him unfit for work. He is represented by
Richard Currier, of the Seamen's Branch of
the Legal Aid Society.
HUDSON'S TRICENTENARY.
FATHER SHANGHAIES SONS.
Rather than a voyage to China as seamen
on the Standard Oil sailing ship Arrow, two
brothers, John and Louis Lonsberg of
Brooklyn, jumped into the lower bay nearly
two miles off shore from the vessel on June
16 and attempted to swim to Staten Island.
John was drowned. Louis was picked up
unconscious and revived after hard work.
He accuses his father of forcibly putting
him and his brother aboard the Arrow for
the China trip.
Young Lonsberg says that his father and
the master of the Arrow completed a deal
whereby the two youths were to work their
way to China and back. They were taken
on board the Arrow by a subterfuge, accord-
ing to the boy's story, and were informed
that their father had signed them for the
voyage.
The young men protested, but the master
refused to release them, and they decided
to desert the ship and swim to Staten Isl-
and.
Members of the Ocean Yacht Club and
the crew of a tugboat heard the cries for
assistance and hurried to their aid. They
rescued Louis just as he was about to give
up the struggle. The other fugitive was
not found and his body was probably swept
out to sea. Louis refused to give his father's
address.
The oyster schooner Hampton was re-
cently blown up by the explosion of a gaso-
line tank in the hold while in New Jersey
waters and sank immediately. The master
and crew of five men were rescued.
Plans for the celebration of the 300th an-
niversary of Henry Hudson's exploration
of the river which bears his name and the
100th anniversary of the first successful
navigation of that river by steam by Robert
Fulton took tangible shape in New York
recently at a meeting of the Hudson-Fulton
celebration executive committee, presided
over by General Stewart L. Woodford, the
chairman. It was decided the celebration
should take place the week beginning Sep-
tember 20, 1909, and that instead of a tem-
porary "world's fair," there shall be dedi-
cated monumental works of lasting benefit
to the people.
The first day of the celebration, it is ar-
ranged, shall be given over to a naval parade
or aquatic pageant up the Hudson River,
in which the navies of the world, especially
those of the Netherlands and Great Britain,
shall be invited to participate, as well as all
manner of merchant and pleasure craft. It
is recommended that a feature of the parade
be models of the vessels Halfmoon and Cler-
mont, the Netherlands being asked to furnish
the model of the former. The deep-draft
vessels will proceed up the river as far as
Haverstraw Bay, the Halfmoon and Cler-
mont, escorted by smaller craft, continuing
as far north as Albany.
The second day will be marked by a land
parade and literary, historical and musical
exercises. The third day, it is proposed,
shall be devoted to the dedication of me-
morials. One of these will be the Hudson
Memorial bridge, extending from Inwood
Hill to Spuyten Duyvil Hill, across Spuyton
Duyvil Creek at its confluence with the
Hudson River. It is recommended that a
public park be acquired in Inwood Hill, at
the southern terminus of the bridge, and
that suitable buildings or monuments be
erected there.
RACE TO THE CAPE.
Four large sailing vessels have left New
York on a race around the Cape of Good
Hope. The vessels are the Alcides, a Brit-
ish four-masted ship, 2492 tons, for Durban,
South Africa; the E. B. Sutton, an American
ship, 1639 tons, for Haiphong, China; the
Glendon, a British ship, 1824 tons, for Dur-
ban, South Africa, and the Arrow, a Brit-
ish bark, 2971 tons, for Hiogo, Japan. All
four vessels are loaded with case oil shipped
by the Standard Oil Company.
The Sutton got away on June 14, the three
English vessels left port early on the 16th,
and the start which the Sutton has is
about offset by the fact that the American
vessel has but three masts, while each of the
British has four. Members of the Maritime
Exchange are doing a lot of speculation, fin-
ancial as well as mental, on the question of
which vessel will be the first around.
A four masted schooner, built by Cobb,
Butler & Co., of Rockland, has been sold to
Donald & McKown, of Boston. The craft
has been named John D. Cowell. The
schooner registers 1042 tons, and will be in
command of Captain H. M. Black, of Booth-
bay Harbor.

Frank W. Mahin, United States Consul at
Nottingham, Eng., tells of the winter's work
of the "distress committee" of that city in se-
curing jobs for idle men. This work was un-
dertaken throughout England under an act
of Parliament, and Mr. Mahin's report shows
what has been accomplished in that city of
a quarter million people for the relief of the
unemployed, as follows:
The total number of applicants for work in
Nottingham was 741, with 1,739 dependents;
377 were passed as suitable for such work as
the committee could find, but 74 of these
obtained other work for themselves, or were
given other work as a result of the committee's
help and inquiries, while 113 applicants found
work before the committee could pass upon
them. Of the 303 accepted applicants left
on the register, 270 were given work by the
committee, leaving 33 less needy, for whom no
work was found. Two men and their wives
were sent to Canada at their request. One-
third of the applicants did not come within
the act for want of proper character, for in-
sufficient length of local residence, or for being
chronically unemployed or unemployable.
Many men obtained employment who, per-
haps, had become fearful of ever doing so
again, and were sinking into a state of
despondency from which it would have been
almost impossible to raise themselves. As a
result of the committee's inquiries of former
employers a connection has been established
between it and many factories and business
concerns, which is expected to be of great
service to both seekers for and hirers of
labor.
The work provided by the committee was
on recreative and other grounds owned by the
city, some of which had to be done in any
event at the public cost. The average length
of employment for each man was six weeks,
at about 9 cents an hour — three-fourths of the
usual rate for unskilled labor. The total out-
lay was $5,300. Of this the city paid about
$1,800. In other cities the same general
course was pursued. Some, however, were
burdened with a much heavier proportion of
unemployed than was Nottingham.
South Africa is the largest market for
British bicycles in the world, over one-sixth
of the entire output being shipped thither.
In addition, one-third of the motor cycles and
one-fourth the motor cars exported from that
country go to South Africa. American
machines are not now in vogue, it being
argued that they are too lightly built for the
rough roads of. this country.
The immigration into Cuba during 1905
was 54,219 persons. Of these 47,902 came
from Spain and only 1,861 from North Amer-
ica, which leads a New Orleans paper to re-
mark that this does not indicate any very
rapid Americanization of the island.
Imports of South African goatskins into the
United Kingdom last year amounted to
1,887,000, as compared with 1,156,500 in 1904,
while only 2,712,000 Cape sheepskins were
imported, against 2,729,000 in the previous
year.

SEAMEN SEVER AFFILIATION.
Whereas, The United Shipping and Transporta-
tion Association has locked out, or threatened to
lock out, from the Mail dock, Oregon dock, Ha-
waiian dock, Cosmos line dock, Broadway dock
and Coos Bay dock all union longshoremen who
are working in general freight and passenger
steamers; and,
Whereas, They are threatening to lock out the
longshore lumbermen and other union working-
men with whom we are associated in the City
Front Federation; and,
Whereas, We can see no reason for action caus-
ing such suffering as this would at this time,
except that we are affiliated with them in the City
Front Federation; therefore be it,
Resolved, That \vc, the Sailors' Union, Marine
Firemen's Union, and Marine Cooks and Stewards'
Association, hereby withdraw from said City
Federation and cease all affiliation there-
with, to the end that the United Shipping and
portation Association may have no reason
to lock "tit these men and cause their families to
suffer.
These resolutions were adopted by the
Sailors' Union of the Pacific in its meeting
at Headquarters, San Francisco, on June 18,
and by the Marine Firemen and Marine
Cooks and Stewards at their respective
meetings on June 19. Thus these maritime
organizations will cease membership in the
City Front Federation.
As may be readily surmised, the condi-
tions necessitating this step are peculiar in
the history of the labor movement. The
Sailors' Union has always believed in the
principle of federation, and has always prac-
ticed that belief. The Sailors' Union still
ves in the principle of federation, but
it finds itself up against conditions which
run counter to theory, conditions which
must be recognized and dealt with, even if
theory must temporarily be set aside.
Briefly stated, these conditions are that
the United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation, finding itself unable to defeat the
maritime organizations in a fair fight, has
sought to harrass the latter by involving
other organizations in no way concerned in
the issue. The lockout of longshoremen was
part of these tactics. The justification, if
any, of the lockout consisted in the fact that
the longshoremen, being affiliated with the
Sailors, Firemen and Cooks and Stewards,
in the City Front Federation, were respon-
sible for the latter's action, or at any rate
were liable to be called upon by the latter
to take similar action upon their own account.
Tin- withdrawal of the maritime organiza-
tions from the City Front Federation, which
step necessarily absolves the Federation and
its affiliated bodies from all obligation to
support the strike, removes the last vestige
of pretext for the lockout.
Henceforth the United Shipping and
Transportation Association can have no
more excuse for locking out or otherwise
victimizing the longshoremen than it would
have for making a move of that kind against
the members of the up-town trades. Hence-
forth the Association must confine its at-
tention to the vSailors. Firemen and Cooks
and Stewards, or stand convicted of an un-
conscionable attempt to win an otherwise
hopeless cause by methods of indiscriminate
attack. If such methods be permitted to pre-
vail, the}- will be repeated; which will in-
evitably mean one of two things, either the
defeat of every strike, or the extension of
every strike to the utmost limit conceiv-
able upon "sympathetic" lines.
The action of the maritime unions in with-
drawing from the City Front Federation
will tend to confine the struggle within its
original lines, and by so doing will greatly
increase the prospects, of speedy success.
Thus that step will be of ultimate advantage
to the longshoremen and other land work-
ers as well as to the seamen. The policy
of the Transportation Association and Citi-
zens' Alliance obviously is to spread the
trouble over the largest possible area, in
the hope of arousing widespread public re-
sentment against the seamen. The Asso-
ciation and the Alliance evidently look upon
the public as a child, which when hurt will
strike blindly at any object to which its at-
tention is directed as being "bad." For-
tunately, the public is not so childish as its
self-styled benefactors apparently assume it
to be. The public is able to discriminate
fairly well between the "bad" union and the
"good" Association. And don't you forget
it!
The Sailors, Firemen and Cooks and
Stewards — the men who perform the actual
labor of the maritime industry — are fully
capable of taking care of their own fight.
That fight is being fought and won. All
that the seamen need is a fair field and no
favor, no sympathetic strikes and no sympa-
thetic encumbrances of any kind. This
much the seamen are determined to get if
any action of their own can insure it.
Meanwhile, the principle of federation re-
mains as good as ever. That principle will
gain rather than lose to the extent that it
may be proved capable of modification in
practice for the purpose of winning a fight.
The longshoremen in San Pedr*o, Eureka
and Gray's Harbor have rendered valuable
services to the seamen's unions now on
strike by refusing to handle lumber and
other cargo in unfair vessels. In recogni-
of this service the Sailors' Union, in its
meeting at Headquarters, San Francisco, on
June is, passed a vote of thanks to the long-
shoremen's unions in the localities named,
coupled with a request for a continuance of
their assistance. The longshoremen's unions
up and down the Coast have acted volun-
tarily in discharging the obligations of
unionism, a fact which, besides increasing
the effectiveness of the service rendered,
makes it doubly welcome to the seamen.
Shake, brothers !
MURDER OF COMRADE KELNFk.
Another name has been added to the list
of our comrades who have given their lives
for the Sailors' Union. Andrew Kelner was
shot and instantly killed in San Francisco
Bay on June 17 — murdered in cold blood
by ;i hired assassin in the pay of the United
Shipping and Transportation Association.
Comrade Kelner, accompanied by a num-
ber of other members of the Union, had gone
off in a launch to the steam-schooner Na-
tional City, lying off Sixteenth street, Oak-
land, for the purpose of interviewing the
crew and rendering them whatever assist-
ance, if any, were needed. In broad daylight
the launch approached the National City.
Not the slightest sign of hostility was made
by the men in the launch, who were un-
armed and absolutely unprepared for trouble
of any kind.
Without the slightest warning, not even so
much as the customary hail, and while the
launch was still some distance from the
schooner, the men on the National City
opened fire on the launch. Kelner, who
stood in the bow of the boat, was mortally
wounded at the first moment of attack. He
died without utering a word. Three other
comrades, John Peterson, Andrew Hanson
and llolger Borgensen, were wounded, but
fortunately no( fatally.
The men chiefly responsible for the mur-
der were arrested shortly after the affair.
The names of these men are Port Captain
George F. Hammar, who was acting as sail-
ing master of the National City at the time
of the shooting: Joseph B. Hubbard, Daniel
T. Cahiil and frank Martin, members of the
crew i.f the National City and who are de-
clared to be strike-breakers, employed for
the express purpose of guarding the vessel
in case of trouble. Hubbard, who, according
to press reports, boasts of having fired the
shot that killed Comrade Kelner, hails from
Green River, Wyo., and was recently im-
ported as a "gun-fighter" by Johnson, one
of the owners of the National City and no-
torious on the Pacific Coast for his connec-
tion with the labor troubles in the lumber
mills at Fort Bragg, Cal. These men will
be vigorously prosecuted, and the prospects
are that they will receive at least a good
measure of the punishment which they so
richly deserve for their treacherous crime.
Comrade Kelner and the other members of
the Union were wholly within their rights
in approaching the National City, since they
had made no attempt to board the vessel nor
threatened violence of any kind. The mur-
der was exactly on a par with the act of a
man who from his own doorstep or window
should shoot another on the street upon the
sole ground of anticipated trouble. The
ers of San Francisco Bay are public
property, open to all. Men shipped on ves-
sels lying in the Bay have an undisputed le-
gal right to leave such vessels if they so
desire. Members of the Sailors' Union or
any other persons, interested or disinterested,
have an equal right to afford every assistance
to those desirous of leaving a vessel. The
only condition in the whole matter is that
violence shall not be offered to either per-
son or property. This condition was fully
observed in the National City case. The
murder of Kelner and the wounding of his
comrades was an absolutely unjustifiable
and, we believe, premeditated crime, com-
mitted in the desperate hope of turning the
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
tide of defeat upon which the Association
shipowners now find themselves engulfed.
The death of Comrade Kelner is profound-
ly mourned, not alone by reason of its cir-
cumstances but also on account of the com-
rade's splendid character as a seaman, as
a union man and as a MAN. Added to a
cheerful disposition, great earnestness and
untiring energy, Comrade Kelner possessed
great personal courage. As a proof of this
characteristic, Kelner was the bearer of a
silver medal, presented to him by the British
Government for distinguished bravery in
saving life at sea. The pride which our
dead comrade took in this evidence of public
appreciation was shared by all who knew him
and especially by his associates in the Sail-
ors' Union.
Andrew Kelner was a brave man, born to
do great deeds, and lie died while doing
them. His death, while mourned in itself,
will afford consolation by reason of the bless-
ings of liberty which it helps to secure for
our great craft. May he rest in peace !
Comrade Kelner, will be buried with full
honors by the Sailors' Union. All members
in port will attend the ceremonies, to pay
a fitting tribute to the memory of the dead
and to resolve that, so far as in them lies,
the brave shall not have died in vain.
ARBITRATION REFUSED.
In response to suggestions from various
sources to the effect that the seamen and
shipowners should submit their differences
to arbitration, the Sailors, Firemen and
Cooks and Stewards at once accepted the
suggestion, in accordance with the long-
established policy of the labor movement.
The shipowners, on the other hand, have
bluntly refused to arbitrate. The issue is
therefore clearly drawn, and the public can
have no difficulty in judging the probabili-
ties as to the merit on either side of the
controversy.
On this phase of the question the Labor
Clarion, official organ of the San Francisco
Labor Council, in the course of a very clear
exposition of the whole case, says :
Better think calmly, Mr. Shipowner; disabuse
your mind of the idea that the public will hold
the unions accountable for paralysis of shipping,
and show your faith in your declaration that the
unions are unreasonable by submitting this dis-
pute to arbitration. If, as you assert, "this is no
time to talk about raising wages," surely an
impartial arbitration board will agree with you
and direct the Sailors, Firemen and Cooks to
return to your vessels under the old conditions.
And, we venture to say, that this same arbitra-
tion board will be considerate enough not to even
hint that you should restore your old freight rates
on lumber, and — those of you who are mill own-
ers and lumber dealers — sell your lumber at
normal prices. No; the arbitration board won't
touch on that phase of the question in the way
of offering advice — that's another story. To be
sure, these little profit-raising schemes might in-
fluence the arbitrators in passing upon your
ability to grant the workers' demands, but they
will not interfere with your tendency to squeeze
the lumber consumers to the limit.
However, Mr. Shipowner, if you persist in
your Tublic-be-damned" and "There's-nothing-
to-arbitrate" policy, come out in the open like
men and proclaim yourselves to be what you
secretly are — just plain Union-Smashers.
T would give zest to the contest, and when the
battle ends we'll know beyond question that
we've buried the "Open Shop" in San Francisco
beyond hope of resurrection.
We don't desire a fight, gentlemen; we would
infinitely prefer to remain at work and rebuild
and refurnish our homes and re-clothe ourselves
and our families; but if fight it has to be, those
matters will be laid aside for the time being, and
we will face the industrial war you invite with
full confidence in the justice of our cause and of
its speedy triumph — and then, gentlemen, in
truth-
There will be nothing to arbitrate!
Another pointed expression on the same
subject appeared in the San Francisco
Chronicle of June 18. After commenting
upon the great inconvenience caused by the
tie-up of shipping, the Chronicle says:
In this case the sailors offer to arbitrate and
the shipowners refuse. The position of the ship-
owners is this, as stated by themselves: That
they have not attempted to reduce wages or raise
freights; that the Sailors' Union passed a resolu-
tion, after April 18, that they would make no de-
mand for increased wages; that the sailors are
now better paid than any other sailors in the
world; that few of the vessel owners are inter-
ested in lumber except as carriers, and that they
are not responsible for the rise in the price of
lumber, by which they do not profit; that the
officials of the Sailors' Union have been guilty
of misrepresentation in many respects. Ignoring,
for the present, any counter statement which the
Sailors' Union might make, we submit that, upon
the case submitted by the vessel owners, they
ought not to fear the result of arbitration by dis-
interested men. And they should consent to such
an arbitration.
The Chronicle's views amount to a direct
and convincing indictment of the United
Shipping and Transportation Association.
•Of course, if the Association's case is as
strong as it is represented to be, it is bound
to win in any arbitration proceedings. Why,
then, is not the Association willing to arbi-
trate? The answer is easy. The Associa-
tion won't arbitrate because it knows that in
such a proceeding it would lose the point it
is really contending for, namely, the disrup-
tion of the unions on the water front. Even
if the Association's case were as strong as
it claims (which it is not), that body would
still be afraid to arbitrate. What would it
profit the Association to win on wages and
lose on the "Open Shop"?
That the statements made by the seamen
regarding conditions in the coastwise ship-
ping industry are not mere fancy is proved
by the following press interview, by Mr.
George Renner, Manager of the Draymen's
Association, of San Francisco :
"The average load of a steam-schooner," said
Renner, "is 400,000 feet of lumber. Figuring the
advance in freight rates at seventy-five cents a
thousand, the owner of a steam-schooner receives
each trip down the Coast $300 more than he was
paid before the fire. The average crew of one of
these vessels is ten men. The advance demanded
is $5 per month for each sailor, or $50 per month
for the crew. As each schooner makes at least
two trips a month, its monthly profit is certainly
$600 more than before the fire. This being true,
the owners can, it seems to me, afford to raise
the wages of the crew $50 per month.
"Many of the steam-schooners,' continued Ren
ner, "are owned by lumbermen. I am informed
by one of their number that lumber has gone up
$5 per thousand feet. That means that the in-
crease in their profit on each cargo of 400,000
feet is $2,000, if the vessel is not owned by the
lumberman; or $2,300 if the steamer is their prop-
erty. Why this increase should not be shared
with the sailors I do not understand.
"I take no account of possible overtime charges.
If the owners do not care to pay what the men
ask for work after hours or on Sundays, they can
lay their vessels up during those hours."
Members of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association are reported as
laughing at Mr. Renner's statements. This,
of course, is to be expected. That is the As-
sociation's way of answering (?) all the
statements which it is afraid to discuss seri-
ously.
* OFFICIAL *
SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
Headquarters, San Francisco, Cat, June 18, 1906.
Regular weekly meeting was called to order
at 7:30 p. m., E. A. Erickson, presiding. Secre-
tary reported shipping dull. The United Ship-
ping and Transportation Association has been
unable to secure any competent men to man its
vessels. The employment agencies have endeav-
ored to furnish the vessels with green country
boys, brought on board under misrepresentation.
The latter have, in every instance, been anxious
to come ashore again when the facts were ex-
plained to them. On recommendation of the
Executive Committee the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That a vote of thanks be extended
to the Longshoremen's Unions along the Coast
for their action in refusing to work scab ves-
sels; further
Resolved, That we feel sure they will continue,
and we hereby guarantee to them, that their in-
terests will be protected with all the power at
our command.
A committee was elected to make arrange-
ments for the funeral of Andrew Kelner, who
was murdered by professional thugs hired by the
United Shipping and Transportation Association.
A. FURUSETH,
Folsom Street Dock. Secretary.
Notice: All members in port must report daily
at the Fishermen's Hall, 9 Mission Street.
Among all the men shipped on Association
vessels during the past two weeks, and who
have left these vessels as soon as they re-
alized the work required of them, not a
single sailor, fireman, cook or steward has
been found. The "greenie," even, is pretty
scarce and pretty expensive these days.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
FOUNDERED OFF CLEVELAND.
The schooner Mabel Wilson foundered off
the port of Cleveland recently in the north-
east storm which swept the Lake. She was
bound down with a cargo of ore and was
being towed by the steamer Elphicke. Just
off Cleveland it was believed hazardous to
attempt to go further and her anchors were
dropped. The Elphicke signaled for a tug
and the Lutz went out. The seas were run-
ning so high, however, that the boat was
soon damaged beyond hope of recovery.
While the Lutz was going to the rescue the
lookout at the Life Saving Station gave the
warning that the schooner was going down
and another tug. was summoned to tow the
lifeboat. The Kennedy responded. Before
the Lutz arrived at the scene, however, the
waves had washed the wheelehouse over-
board and with it the wheelsman, who had
stuck to his post. His name was not known
to his companions, other than that his first
name was Fred.
The crew did not notice that the boat was
leaking until after the Elphicke had dropped
the line and she was riding at anchor. She
seemed to be breaking up all at once. When
the Lutz arrived the wheelhouse and its oc-
cupant had already gone overboard. Cap-
tain Gotham and Mates Gunnison and Mc-
Phee had gone into the rigging to get out of
the seas. Gotham and Gunnison were pretty
badly hurt, especially Gunnison. In the
careening of the boat the steel stays broke
and the recoil struck Gunnison across the
back of the hand, severing two of his fingers
at the second joint. Captain Gotham was
■ also hurt and had to be taken to Lakeside
Hospital, where he and Gunnison were at-
tended to.
The Lutz, finding that it was impossible
to save the schooner, began to rescue the
crew. She had four of the crew off when
the life-savers arrived in tow of the tug
Kennedy.
She stood by then until the remainder of
the crew had been taken off by the life-
savers. Captain Motley, of the Life-Saving
Station, had taken out the smlal boat, since
it was the most convenient in such a sea.
When the work was nearly done a mishap
occurred, which nearly cost the service a
boat. The sinking schooner was floundering
badly and lashing about in the water. One
of the jaws of the gaff, which had been car-
ried over with the spar, struck the boat in
the forward compartment, stoving a hole
six inches in diameter, and the compart-
ment filled with water . It was difficult after
that to keep the boat from sinking, the seas
being so heavy. The tugs Kennedy and
Lutz, however, stood by to help the life-
savers it" they should have need for it. The
work of the latter was accomplished under
trying circumstances. The mainmast showed
signs of weakness and it was feared every
minute that it would go overboard. Had it
done so it would have struck the lifeboat
amidships. The crew had been saved when
the schooner settled and disappeared, except
a portion of the mainmast. The wreck is
lying west of the harbor entrance and out of
line of both inbound and outbound 1
She dragged her anchors considerably and
is now a considerable distance farther in-
shore than when she was first known to be
in distress.
The northeaster was one of the most se-
vere in years. Boats all along the Lake were
lying outside rather than try to enter the
smaller ports during the storm. Boats did
not try to enter Huron or Ashtabula and
only a few came into Cleveland.
The Frontenac, in making the Cleveland
harbor had a narrow call from disaster. Only
the able management of the boat by Cap-
tain U. S. Cody saved her from a fate similar
to that of the steamer which went on the
pier at Ashtabula. She was coming in with
full steam ahead. The moment she struck
the cross current at the mouth of the river
she began to experience difficulty. She was
well handled, however, and reached her dock
without difficulty.
The schooner F. A. Georger was seen off
the harbor Hying distress signals. The tug
Lutz went out and brought her in. She was
leaking badly and the tug reached her just
in time to keep her from sinking. In the
more quiet waters of the harbor her pumps
were able to keep her afloat, and she was
put into drydock for calking after she was
unloaded.
PRIZES FOR LAKE WRECKERS.
Captain Harris W. Baker, the well known
wrecking master of Detroit, has just complet-
ed the most successful job of his career in the
raising and delivery of the ocean steamer
George W. Klder in the drvdock at Portland,
Or.
That the eyes. of the Westerners were open-
ed by the achievement of Captain Baker is at-
tested by the expressions of praise in the Port-
land papers.
For more than a year the Elder, which
struck a rock and went to the bottom near
Portland, bafiled the efforts of Pacific Coast
wreckers, and finally the underwriters dispos-
ed of the wreck to J. H. Peterson for $10,000.
"Captain Baker examined the wreck and
stated that he could raise it," says the Port-
land Oregonian. "A conditional contract was
then closed, by the terms of which the Detroit-
er was to be paid $30,000 for the successful
accomplishment of the task.
Quoting Peterson, the Oregonian further
says :
"All praise is due Captain Baker, who en-
gineered the job, for he was master of the
situation from the first time he saw the po-
sition of the wreck, at which time he stated
lie would accomplish the task of floating her
or stand the expenses of failure."
Peterson has since banqueted Captain Baker
and his crew of Detroiters who showed them
how.
The Elder was worth at the present
time, although she cost her owners much more
when she was built.
The wrecking work on the steamer Cit) of
Concord, which sunk in the Ellsworth slip,
has been temporarily suspended, awaiting the
arrival of the owner, X. Mills, of Marysville,
Mich. Walter V. Metcalf. who has the con-
tract for raising the steamer, says that every-
thing is in readiness and the boat can be float-
ed in a short space of time.
TEN-THOUSAND-TONNERS.
The American Shipbuilding Company has
booked another order for a big freighter for
1907 delivery. The contract was recently
closed and the order was placed by Captain
Charles L. Hutchinson and others of Cleve-
land, O. The new ship, which will have a
carrying capacity of about 10,000 tons, will be
a duplicate of the steamer Joseph G. Butler of
the Hutchinson fleet.
The new boat will be 545 feet over all, 525
feet keel, 55 feet beam and 31 feet deep. She
will have triple expansion engines with cylin-
ders 23 1-2, 38 and 63 inches, with 42-inch
stroke. She will have two Scotch boilers 14 1-2
feet in diameter and 11 1-2 feet long. The boil-
ers will be fitted with the Ellis & Eaves draft
and will be allowed 180 pounds pressure. The
new steamer will be an up-to-date freighter
and will be fitted with everything modern for
handling ship and cargo.
According to the contract the steamer, which
will cost $400,000 will be completed and ready
for business April 15, 1907. It has not been
decided at which of the company's yards she
will be built. /
Henry Steinbrenner and others of Cleve-
land, O., closed a contract with the American
Shipbuilding Company for a 10,000-ton steam-
er for 1907 delivery. The new boat will be a
duplicate of the steamer recently ordered by
Captain Charles L. Hutchinson. She will cost
$400,000 and will lje*"ready to go into com-
mission next April. The new boat will be
modern in every respect. The officials of the
Shipbuilding Company have not decided where
the keel of this ship will be laid.
The dimensions of the steamer are 545 feet
over all, 525 feet keel, 55 feet beam and 31
feet deep. She will have triple expansion en-
gines, with cylinders 23 1-2, 38 and 63 inches,
with 42-inch stroke. Two Scotch boilers 14 1-2
feet in diameter and 11 1-2 feet long will fur-
nish the steam. The boilers will he fitted with
the Ellis & Eaves draft and will be allowed
180 pounds pressure.
'fhe American Shipbuilding Company has
booked seven orders for big freighters for
next year's delivery. The carrying capacity
of these vessels ranges from 7.500 to 13,000
tons. 1
The board of directors of the United States
Steel Corporation has set aside $10,500,000 to
be spent at Gary this year. The plan in its
entirety will cost $75,000,000 to carry out and
it will take at least four years to put into effect
the plans already made. This includes the cost
of the greatest steel plant in the world and a
city for 100,000 people attached to it.
Gary, not yet incorporated as a city, will
lie on the south bank of the Calumet River,
directly south of the most southerly point of
Lake Michigan. At this point the Calumet
is a mile from the Lake shore and the area be-
tween the River and the Lake is to be devoted
to the greatest steel plant in the wcrld. About
6,000 acres of land have been secured, and as
soon as it is physically possible to push the
work two sections of land are to be CO1
with plant north of the Calumet and threi
tions with city south of the River. A
bend in the Calumet at this point is to be
straightened so that the river will ha.
straight east and west course between the
works and the citv of Gary.

MARINE NOTES.
In May, a year ago, shipments at Duluth
were 2,91 1,878 tons. The season to date shows
3,971,874 tons against 3,787,073 tons a year
-aero.
The Duluth, Masaba & Northern Iron Ore
docks at Duluth have established a new record
for one shipping day of twenty-four hours.
The amount shipped was 103,253 tons.
The whaleback barge 103 is at the yards of
the Toledo Shipbuilding Company for repairs.
The boat was in collision with the Shaw on
the Upper Lakes a few days since, and was
considerably battered in the encounter.
The upper range on Peche Island burned
down on June 1. It was reported at Detroit
by the master of the steamer Maritana that the
burning range fell as his vessel passed down.
The range was of wood. An $18,000 appro-
priation recently made provides for new
structures.
Captain Charles Keller, United States light-
house engineer, has announced that the Mur-
ray Construction Company has surrendered
its contract for rebuilding a section of the
Harbor Beach breakwater, and that a new con-
tract has been awarded to Hugo & Tims, of
Duluth. The job is worth $200,000.
The steamer Scottish Hero, which the Cana-
dian Lake & Ocean Navigation Company
brought over from Scotland, will come to Lake
Erie this month. The steamer is too big to
come through the WelfraTid canal and she has
been cut in two. She will be put together at
Cleveland or Loran and she will be towed up
the Lake in sections from Port Colborne.
Manitowoc is soon to have a greatly enlarg-
ed and increased harbor, and to that end the
council of that city has voted to expend $5,000
for dredging and other works necessary. The
Wisconsin Central has leased 1,000 feet of
dock frontage to a coal company, which will
build a modern coal dock 1,000 feet long and
400 feet wide. A 700- foot turning basin will
also be excavated near the mouth of the River
and this basin will be used by the Manitowoc
Drydock Company for a large floating steel
drydock, which is now being built. There will
also be built about 6,000 feet of dock front.
A fake statement which appeared in the
Cleveland Leader. /of June 2 setting forth the
claim that Daniel J. Keefe would be head of
a great Union on the Lakes, comprised of all
marine labor, and all the dock-workers on the
Great Lakes, and that President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor would
render a decision granting Keefe power to
control marine workers, seamen, as well as
longshoremen. This hop-dream would be fun-
ny if it were not so foolish. There is no doubt
as to where the article was fathered. Seamen
will never consent to being ruled by a lands-
man. That fact might as well be allowed to
penetrate to Mr. Keefe's brain now as at any
time.
Notice is given by Major C. McD Town-
!, the United States engineer at Cleveland,
that two projecting rocks, on which the depth
is only fifteen feet, have been discovered in
the dock channel at Sandusky about 125 feet
north of the end of the Wehrie Coal Com-
pany's dock. This part of Sandusky harbor
is not safe for vessels drawing more than sev-
enteen feet, and vessels of this draft or less
should keep about seventy-five feet out from
the dock line, between the Big Four Railway
and the Wehrie Coal Company's docks. The
new lighthouse at the entrance to the Keno-
sha Harbor has been placed in commission,
and the light heretofore shining from the shore
discontinued. The new building is equipped
with a modern coast light.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
AUSTRALIAN NOTES.
(For the Coast Seamen's Journal.)
There is at present a great deal of dissatis-
faction here in connection with the adminis-
tration of the Arbitration Act. Mind you, on-
ly as to the way in which the Act is adminis-
tered. You can readily see that the award in
New Zealand makes provision for "second
rate" workmen. Is it possible to imagine that
any employer would ever desire second class
persons in his employ? Nevertheless, that is
the award. '
It will now he desirable that certain ship-
owners will advertise their vessels as"second-
raters" to carry passengers or cargo, from one
port of New Zealand to another in that State.
No doubt the idea of the Court is original, if
not according to the evidence. The writer
believes that even the New South Wales Arbi-
tration Court judge could not or would not
conceive the idea that it is possible to have sec-
ond-rate seamen on board any vessel.
The environments of a person must at all
times lead him to view certain conditions un-
der which other people labor, in a very pecul-
iar light. For instance, what does the average
merchant, or I may say shopkeeper, know of
the condition of seamen or firemen? Ask any
of them, where do the crew live? How do they
live ? and probably they may know of some
one who is at sea or I think I can safely say
that when you do receive a reply you will find
that they themselves are at sea and very much
A conference of seamen of Australia is at
present being held in Melbourne. Each branch
of the Federation has sent two representatives
who arc termed as a body the executive coun-
cil, as follows : South Australia, Senator R.
S. Guthrie and Mr. Lowen ; Melbourne, Sec-
retary II. Belfrage and G. H. Smith; New
South Wales, E. A. Kelly and J. Scotland;
Jlrisbane, P. Henderson and Mr. MacDowell,
and Arthur Cooper as Secretary of the Coun-
cil. The Councillors have been elected by a
plebicite vote of the Federated Seamen's
Union, and are at present waiting for a con-
ference to take place with the shipowners.
A great amount of work has devolved upon
the Councillors, namely, to draw up working
rules and make the necessary arrangements
for registration under the Commonwealth Con-
ciliation and Arbitration Act. The first busi-
ness done was the election of officers to form
the Executive and the result has been: Sena-
tor, R. S. Guthrie, President, H. Belfrage,
Vice-President, and E. A. Kelly, of N. S. W.,
as General-Secretary, who is at present Secre-
tary of the Sydney Branch. It is to be hoped
that much good will be derived from the coun-
cillor's work.
A bye election has just taken place in Vic-
toria at a place called Glenelg. It is a farming
electorate and the strongest men in the Conser-
vative Party were on the warpath with the
battle-cry of "Anti-Socialism." Considering
that no preachers of Socialism have at any
time turned their steps Glenelg way, it is easy
to be seen that any cry will suffice to serve
their ends.
The Premier of Victoria spent a great deal
of time nursing the capitalistic candidate and
was supported by some of the Ministry, and
yet it took them all their time to defeat Labor
man McNeil. When one of the wealthy or
Conservative element wins an election, there
is a full column in our daily press, dealing
with organization and the "good sense" and
"sound judgment" of the electors. But if La-
bor wins the howl of horror is heard all round,
and about six lines are printed in the press.
A mass-meeting of members of the Typo-
graphical Union was recently held in the
Trades Hall, Melbourne, where it was decided
that in the jobbing trade an increase of wages
was necessary, and a motion to that effect was
carried, as follows : "That in the opinion of
this Union the time has arrived when an in-
crease in the minimum rate of £2.12 per week
should be obtained, as the increased cost of liv-
ing and the steady progress of the State war-
rants the same." It was also decided that the
delegates on the printing trades wages board,
be requested to demand £3 per week as the
minimum wage. It was also resolved to con-
gratulate the American Union on the recog-
nition of the Eight Hour principle in their
trade in the United States.
The unemployed question is still very keen
here. No person seems to be able to solve the
problem. News comes from the Trades Hall
in West Australia that hundreds of men are
sitting at the gates of the gold mines when
the shifts are changing, seeking one or two
day's work. What a picture! And still all the
gold is going out of this country. There is
about four or five thousand unemployed
nd Melbourne and suburbs, most of
whom are mechanics, chiefly of the iron
trades. Our unemployed in Sydney number
anywhere between six and eight thousand, and
how they manage to live is past comprehension.
The Longshoremen's, or Stevedore Labor-
ers' Union in Melbourne, which embraces
that of Geclong, is acquiring property of its
own in a very ingenious manner. A rather
large hotel, it seems, was doing very little
trade owing to so much competition being car-
ried on around that particular portion of the
port, or waterfront, in which is it is situated.
In fact, it had deteriorated to such an extent
that it was possible to be its landlord for ten
shillings a week. It then occurred to the Sec-
retary of the Union that it would be possible
for the members to own that hotel. Calling a
meeting of the Union, the secretary placed the
proposition thus : You have the opportunity
of a lifetime as far as our organization is con-
cerned to have a club, or a place to hold meet-
ings in, and from where you may be engaged
without wearing away the pillars of the corner
hotel or houses while waiting for work. If it
is necessary to have the bar connected with
the establishment, there it is. And the Union
took it as a going concern. After striking a
bargain with the proprietor - to buy it, lock,
stock and barrel, for £1500. The Union at
the present owes about £300 or so, having
paid off the rest of the debt.
This club, or meeting room, is capable of
housing all the members of the Union. It has
one very large meeting-hall, capable of seat-
ing about five hundred, with piano and raised
stage, suitable for concerts, lectures, etc. There
is another large room which can accommodate
400 or over, with tables, chairs, etc. A spacious
reading room, an office for the Secretary, vari-
ous outhouses.etc, and a bar, with two bartend-
ers. Now it has been altered so that it is pos-
sible to go to any portion of the house with-
; out going into the bar, and the best of all is the
fact that it is the means of making a better
class of friendship all through, as all profits
go back to the members. Any profits derived
from bar, billiard or concert room go toward
paying for the property. In the course of an-
other year the Union expects to be out of debt,
and as there is quite a large patch of ground
alongside, it is now proposed to erect co-opera-
I tive stores. The saloon-keepers around this
quarter are real mad about the venture and tell

all sorts of lies about the secretary and the
club but they might as well be quiet, as the
members have implicit faith in their secretary,
Joe Morris, who they know has been a teetotal-
ar for the last twenty years. All the old sea-
dogs over this way are anxiously waiting for
news from San Francisco, so as to be able to
form a fair estimate of how the land lies, af-
ter seeing some of the American files.
On May 10 the crew of the United States
warship Baltimore were defeated by the Metro-
politan Fire Brigade of Sydney by forty-five
seconds over a two-mile, 400 yards course,
time 18 minutes, 35 seconds. The Sydney
Fire Brigade is to a certain extent composed
of sailors so it is no disgrace to lose a boat race
to a brother of the sea.
Some of the Japanese fleet are being feted
and pampered around the Colonies, but at the
same time we draw the color line if he comes
here as a worker or merchant.

NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERMEN.
VAGRANCY IN SCOTLAND.
A very full census is taken by the police for
each county, city or burgh in Scotland of vag-
rants, beggars, migratory poor, etc., on two
nights in each year, namely, in June and De-
cember. From the Forty-eighth annual re-
port of H. M. Inspector of Constabulary for
Scotland it appears that the total number of
vagrants, etc., counted on the night of Sun-
day, June 25, 1905, was 9,567, and on De-
cember 24, 7,740. Of those counted in June,
5,247 (or 55 per cent) were found in public
parks or streets, outhouses or barns, or about
pits, brickworks, etc.; 3,324 (35 per cent)
were found in common lodging and other
houses; 690 (7 per cent) in houses of refuge,
hospitals and poor houses; and of 306 (3 per
cent) in prisons or police cells. The corre-
sponding figures at the December census were
2,876 (37 per cent) found in public parks,
etc.; 3,834 (50 per cent) in common lodging
and other houses; 714 (9 per cent) in houses
of refuge, etc. ; and 316(4 per cent) in prisons
or police cells. It will be observed that the
number of vagrants found in public gardens,
etc., was 2,371 less in December than in June,
but that the number found in other places
showed little difference at the winter and
summer enumerations.
The total number of vagrants, etc., counted
on a night in June has ranged, in the ten years
1896-1905, between 10,049 in 1896 and 8,252
in 1902. In the same period the number for
December was highest in 1896 (7,967) and
1904 (7,948) and lowest in 1899 (6,654).
Of the total enumerated in June, 1905, 62
per cent were men, 20 per cent women and 18
per cent children under 14. As regards na-
tionality, 69 per cent were Scotch, 20 per cent
Irish, 10 per cent English and 1 per cent
foreign.
The value of the frozen meat brought to
Port Said, the town at the entrance of the
Suez' Canal, from Australasia in 1905 was
$155,000, as against $95,000 in 1904. Until
recently the meat was supplied almost entirely
for the use of ships in transit, but a promising
trade is springing up with Cairo, Alexandria,
and interior points.
The Venezulean Government has given a
25-year concession to General Tobies Uribe
for the cultivation of the island of Tortola, in
the Orinoco, and the breeding of cattle there.
The catch of cod by the Newfoundland
fishermen during the calendar year 1905 was
larger than usual because of a short catch
by the French, Norwegian, Canadian, and
American fishermen. The prices increased to
$7.25 per 112 pounds, a figure unrivaled in
the modern annals of the colony, and yield-
ing a return of $7,425,000 for the total catch,
as against $6,150,000 in 1904, an increase in
value distributed among the fishing popula-
tion of $1,275,000. This is the third highly
successful year the colony has enjoyed, the
shortage in the Norwegian output of cod-liver
oil in 1903 enabling the Newfoundland fisher-
men to market their stock at an increased
value of more than a million dollars, while in
1904 the effects of this were still felt and
largely enhanced the monetary return for the
twelve months' fishing operations.
The winter herring fishery, which import-
ant industrial pursuit is chiefly engaged in by
Americans in the Bay of Island, on the west
coast, took on a new aspect between October,
1905, and January, 1906, owing to the colonial
ministry withdrawing certain privileges con-
ceded to American fishing vessels previously.
In his speech in opening the annual session of
the Newfoundland Legislature on March 1,
1906, the Governor thus refererd to this sub-
ject : "The fishery operations of the people
of the United States on the west coast of the
colony during the past season, whiLe happily
conducted without any breach of the peace,
were attended with many vexatious circum-
stances. My ministers exercised most com-
mendable forbearance in dealing with the
same, and have received the assurance of His
Majesty's Government that negotiations with
the Government of the United States have
been entered upon with a view to an early so-
lution of the difficulties of the situation. It
is hoped that legislation which at present ap-
pears necessary will tnus be obviated."
A new herring fishery policy has been out-
lined by the Governor's speech in the follow-
ing terms : "Realizing the vast amount of
wealth that is resulting from the prosecution
of the herring fishery and the attention de-
voted to special methods of cure, in order to
encourage our fishing population to turn the
herring fishery of this colony to greater ad-
vantage than heretofore, my ministers will
submit for your consideration a bill to pro-
vide for the granting of a bounty for her-
rings that are specially cured and exported."
The bounty is to be $1 a barrel on all her-
ring cured on the so-called "Scotch method,"
and it is proposed to experiment with drift
nets in the outer waters to determine if the
fish can be secured there when not further in-
shore. By this means it is hoped to create
an industry which will enable the colonial
fisherfolk to be independent of the Americans
and make it impossible for the latter to carry
on their industry in these waters.
The Italian Company which is carrying out
the new harbor works at Antivari has obtained
a concession to build the first Montenegrin
railway, which will run from Antivari to Vir-
bazar. The same company has also been
granted the right of free navigation on
Scutari Lake. Antivari is to be made a free
port.
TEXTILE TROUBLES.
The Japanese match-monopoly plan has been
abandoned by the Government, because of con-
siderable opposition among the match
manufacturers.
United States Consul Pendleton King writes
from Aix-la-Chapelle that a textile concern
there lately set their weavers to work on a kind
of cheap cloth made from an inferior wool
difficult to handle, by which the weavers made
less wages, which led to a strike. Concerning
its settlement and general textile affairs in
that German city, Mr. King continues :
The strikers hoped the trouble would extend
to other firms, but the manufacturers'
organization informed the strikers that they
must resume work by a certain day or there
would be a general shutting out of all the em-
ployes in the textile industry.
After a conference between the labor and
manufacturers' organization, the weavers have
resumed work with the understanding that
their complaints would be investigated and
such advances in wages made as the circum-
stances justify. There are in Aix-la-Chapelle
about 50 manufacturers of cloth with about
14,000 employes, of whom 5,000 are weavers,
earning $3,57 to 5.95 per week. Aix-la-
Chapelle has the octroi system of taxes, and
all articles of food pay a tax on entering the
city, and are therefore dearer than in other
parts of Germany. Consequently the condition
of the weavers here is not quite so good as in
Saxony, although the wages are better.
A prominent manufacturer informed me that
when such cloth as he makes (ladies' cloth)
depends chiefly on the machinery used, and not
on the weavers, the German manufacturers
cannot successfully compete with the American
manufacturers for the American trade. But
when the manufacture depends to a great
extent on the weavers instead of the machinery,
the smaller wages paid here enable them to
compete with American manufacturers, and
last year his firm sold one-third of their
entire product to the United States.
LABOR IN INDIA.
Labor unions and strikes have impressed
his Highness, the Maharajah Gaekwar of
Baroda as remarkable features of American
life and industry. There are no walking dele-
gates in Gaekwar's domains, and, unlike
President Roosevelt, he is never called upon to
settle coal strikes. His Highness has a few re-
marks to make on this subject in his suite at
the Waldorf-Astoria where he is staying while
in this country. "We are never worried over
strikes in Baroda," he said. "We have no
labor unions and no industrial upheavels such
as you have in this country." Gaekwar didn't
say so, but it may be inferred that he would
not let walking delegates and labor agitators
enjoy too great liberties in his domains. He
was asked if labor was not organized in any
way suggestive of our labor unions.
"Oh, yes," he replied, "labor is organized
to a certain extent, but not as you organize it
into unions. In Baroda the organization is
one of caste. Men who follow the same
occupation belong to the same caste inevitably,
and, being forced by custom and the law of
caste to occupy the same grade of society,
they may be considered as organized. We
used to have some of the old-time guilds, but
have never had anything like your labor
unions." — Philadelphia Public Ledger.
At the Industries Commission recently held
at Yryhcid, Natal, it was stated that thousands
of millions of tons of coal equal in quality to
any yet mined in Africa existed within a radius
of thirty miles of the town.

Domestic and Naval
The New York and Porto Rico
Steamship Company is the real pur-
chaser of the incorporated San An-
tonio Dock Company. It anticipates
that the Government will assume
ownership of the pier.
The United States Battleship
Georgia, on her official trial trip off
the Maine Coast on June 14, showed
a sustained speed of 19.26 knots for
the four hours, giving her the record
as the fastest battleship in the United
States Navy.
Fire at Baltimore, Md, on June 13
destroyed the Savannah docks of the
Merchants and Miners' Transporta-
tion Company, the steamer Essex of
that line and six freight barges laden
with cotton, rosin, etc. The damage
will be at least $2,000,000.
Memorial services to commemorate
the second anniversary of the steamer
General Slocum disaster were held
on June 15 at the Lutheran Ceme-
tery, Middlevillage, L. I, under the
direction of the arganization of the
General Slocum survivors.
It is reported at St. Johns, N. F.,
that American fishing vesels are pre-
paring to defy the laws forbiding
them to secure bait, outfits and crews
in Newfoundland waters during the
present season. The Government
is taking steps to deal severely with
the contingency.
The Navy Department on June 15
received a dispatch from Commander
Hosley announcing that the drydock
Dewey passed the entrance to Sa-
bang, at the extreme northern end
of the Island of Sumatra, on the 13th,
about noon. The Dewey is expected
to reach Singapore on the 20th.
A three-masted schooner, believed
to be the E. A. Saban (British), 268
tons, Captain Caban, bound from
Norfolk, Va, for Wilmington, Del,
with coal, was sunk on June 13 in
seven fathoms of water off Cape Fear
bar. It is thought she went down in
a gale or was in collision with another
vessel.
All records from Havre to New
York were broken on May 25 by the
arrival at the latter port of the new
French liner La Province in six days,
three hours and thirty-five minutes.
This time broke by five hours and
thirty-five minutes the best previous
record, which was also held by La
Province and was made on her maiden
voyage to New York. This is the
steamer's second westward trip across
the Atlantic. Her average speed was
21.70 knots per hour.
The two new turbine steamers which
are being built at Roach's shipyard,
Chester, Pa, for the Metropolitan
Steamship Company, are to be named
Yale and Harvard, and will ply be-
tween New York and Boston. These
steamers are two of the original three
turbines that have been built in the
United States. Their dimensions are:
Length, 400 feet; beam, 51 feet at
water line and 61 feet on deck; depth,
22.5 feet. The vesels will have 300
staterooms and accommodations for
1,000 passengers, besides 2,000 tons
of freight. They will be ready for
delivery in the fall.
Mis Great Width.— "I met Tinner
to-day. He's a roommate of yours,
isn't he?"
"Yes."
"Bright fellow; wide-awake, isn't
he?"
"Well, he seems wider asleep; at
any rate I never get my full share of
the bed."

"I guess your friend lia> experienced

"Never mind, Dion," replied Damon.

Just then a cloud of dust hove in

"Sorry to have kept you waitng,
gents," said Pythias, emerging from
it, but a darn constable in Jersey held
me up for over speeding."
"That's a fine machine." exclaimed
the Tyrant; "let's the three of US take
a spin."
Thus was formulated a charming
bit of hist' try.
Involved Vociferosity. — "Gentle-
men of the jury/' erupted the attorney
for the plaintiff, addressing the twelve
Arkansas peers who were sitting in
judgment and on their respective
shoulder-blades, in a damage suit
against a grasping corporation for
killing a cow. "If the train had been
running as slow as it should have run,
if the bell had been rung as it ort to
have been rang, or the whistle had
been blown as it should have been
blew, none of which was did, the cow
would not have been injured when
she was killed." — Puck.
Repetition. — The business men of
Philadelphia were in session. It was
1950.
Resolutions demanding better trol-
ley service were read and adopted.
Of course, nothing came of this, but
history thus caught in the act of re-
peating itself afforded a diverting
spectacle.
Ridiculous Figure. — "He's a very
eloquent lecturer; you should engage
him to give a lecture for the benefit
of your church '
"We were thinking of it, but we
found him guilty of every ridicuous
figure of speech."
"Indeed? What was that?"
"He wanted $1000 for it.'
It Sounded Big.— "Bragley's a pub-
lisher, isn't he?"
"Not at all. What made you think
that?"
"He told me he was a disseminator
of light literature."
"Ah, he's a bill clerk in the employ
of the gas company."
The Ruling Passion. — The trading
stamp agent was before the Court.
"I'll rrave to bold you in $1000 bail,"
remarked the Magistrate.
"All right, Judge," said the prisoner,
"do you give stamps with a transac-
tion like that?"

Whole No. 976.
MAYOR URGES ARBITRATION.
MAYOR SCHMITZ, of San Francisco,
has intervened in his official capa-
city with the view of securing ar-
bitration of the dispute between seamen and ship-
owners. Correspondence on the subject was
opened by the Mayor, as follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20, 1906.— To the
Sailors' Union of the Pacific and to the United
Shipping and Transportation Association — Gen-
tlemen: I have hesitated a long time before ad-
dressing you, in the hope that you might peace-
ably adjust your differences without outside in-
tervention, but, as this now seems impossible, I
come to you as Mayor of our stricken city and
make appeal in the interest of our people, of our
city and of our State, that you lay aside your per-
sonal variances and put an end to this destructive
paralyzing of our trade.
The strike or lockout which now exists is doing
us an irreparable injury. It is hurting our good
name at home and abroad; it is destroying our
trade; it is impeding the transportation of build-
ing material and thereby delaying reconstruction
of the city; it is debarring labor from employ-
ment and wages.
On whichever side be the original fault, or
whether it be on both sides or neither, this con-
flict must cease, and that at once.
The local administration cannot exert its of-
ficial power except to preserve the peace, and
that will be done at all hazards and without re-
gard to which side, if any, may be the aggressor.
But, as an individual citizen and as the official
head of this municipality, I propose, in the in-
terests of the citizens of San Francisco, already
sorely afflicted, to exert every power and influ-
ence at my command to avoid the continuance
of this additional affliction and to settle this la-
mentable industrial strife.
As you seem to be no further advanced in the
direction of a reconciliation now than you were at
the beginning, it is apparent that the only ra-
tional solution of your dispute would be a submis-
sion to arbitration by a fair and unbiased com-
mittee.
I, therefore, respectfully request — if I had the
necessary authority I would demand — that each
party to this controversy, immediately upon re-
ceipt of this communication, appoint a committee
of three, the six so appointed to select a seventh
member, and that the decision of said committee
be binding on both sides.
I realize fully the risk of criticism by both par-
ties for my uninvited intervention, but I con-
sider the interests of the city in this matter para-
mount to all other considerations, personal or
political, and I, therefore, ask your immediate at-
tention and action on this suggestion.
In conclusion, permit me to say that I shall be
glad to hold myself at your command for any
assistance which I may be able to render in bring-
ing about harmony and peace.
Very respectfully, E. E. SCHMITZ,
Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco.
Immediately upon receipt of the Mayor's let-
ter, Secretary Furuseth, of the Sailors' Union of
the Pacific, acting in his capacity of chairman of
the joint executive committee of Sailors, Firemen
and Cooks and Stewards, replied as follows:
Hon. Eugene E. Schmitz, Mayor of San Fran-
cisco— Dear Sir: Your favor of even date re-
ceived by messenger. You suggest that the dif-
ferences between employed and employers be
submitted to arbitration by a fair and unbiased
committee, and, continuing, you say, "I therefore
respectfully request — if I had the necessary au-
thority 1 would demand — that each party to this
controversy, immediately upon receipt of this
communication, appoint a committee of three, the
six so appointed to select a seventh member, and
the decision of such committee be binding upon
both sides."
On behalf of the Sailors, Firemen, Cooks and
Stewards, I heartily agree to the above. Our
committee shall be at >our disposal at any time
when wanted after to-morrow morning, it being
impossible to get our executive committee to
elect the individual members until to-night.
Thanking you for your action in this matter
on behalf of the joint executive committee, I am
yours respectfully, ANDREW FURUSETH.
Several days later the United Shipping and
Transportation Association submitted the follow-
ing reply:
E. E. Schmitz, Mayor of the City and County
of San Francisco — Dear Sir: We have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of your communica-
tion of the 20th inst, addressed jointly to the
Sailors' Union of the Pacific and this organiza-
tion, and we regret, with you, that industrial con-
ditions on the water front are such that, in addi-
tion to your other cares, you are obliged to
assume the responsibility of appealing to us to lay
aside our personal grievances and arbitrate any
difference that may appear to exist. You may not
be aware that we did everything possible to
reach an amicable agreement with Mr. Furuseth,
notwithstanding that his union had passed a reso-
lution since the first not to increase wages.
On Tuesday morning, May 29th, the sailors,
firemen, cooks and stewards on the steam-schoon-
ers refused to take the ships to sea except at an
increased rate of pay.
This was the first intimation vessel owners re-
ceived of a cessation of work having been ordered
notwithstanding that it had been previously
agreed to give due notice of any contemplated
changes in wages or working rules. Mr. Furu-
seth was interviewed, and he advised that at a
meeting of the union the evening previous a reso-
lution had been adopted to cease work except at
the increased pay. After mature deliberation the
owners felt that the sailors, cooks, stewards and
firemen were not justified in their demands, that
the compensation which they were receiving for
their services was reasonable and liberal, and so
declined to accede to them.
The Association feels now, as it has felt from
the start, that the same industrial conditions as
prevailed on the water front before the fire should
have been permitted to continue. Unless the re-
construction of San Francisco was to be brought
to a standstill on account of the lack of building
material it was necessary to devise ways and
means to operate our steamers, which we beg
to state are rapidly returning to the trades from
which they were forced.
We heartily indorse the position taken by you
when you state that the local administration will
exert its official power to preserve the peace, as
that will hasten the time when the owners and
the vessels of this Association will be again in a
position to co-operate in the rehabilitation of San
Francisco.
We appreciate to the last degree your generous
offer to aid and assist in bringing about harmony
and peace and will give the suggestions contained
in your communication most careful considera-
tion. H. W. GOODALL,
Chairman United Shipping and Transportation
Association.
Mayor Schmitz, replying to the Association's
letter, issued a second appeal to that body, as
follows:
Mr. H. W. Goodall, Chairman Executive Com-
mittee United S. & T. Co.,
Dear Sir: — Your communication dated June 21,
has just reached me. Extending to you my ap-
preciation of your kind sentiments therein ex-
pressed, I regret that you have not been able
immediately to see your way clear to submitting
to arbitration your controversy with the Sailors'
Union.
You courteously state that you will give the
suggestion contained in my recommendation most
careful consideration. This is the language of
diplomacy and delay while the occasion calls for
movement and action — action toward settling the
strike — action toward the restoration of peace —
action in aid of San Francisco's rebuilding. It is
not your Association nor is it the Sailors' Union
which of itself requires or of itself justifies the
intervention of any public official, but the inter-
ests and the crowding necessities of San Fran-
cisco— the present and future, cry aloud for the
protection and assistance.
While your letter promises consideration, and
while you are undoubtedly thoroughly sincere in
your promise, may I not again beg of you, as
men interested in San Francisco's welfare, inter-
ested in her commerce, in her rehabilitation, in her
growth and future development, to lay aside for
a moment every feeling of resentment or of per-
sonal pride and prestige and meet squarely the
situation which threatens our' city with a famine
of building material and with more widespread
suffering and misery than we have at present?
Without criticising or impugning any state-
ments or suggestions in your letter, may I not
again appeal to you to adjust your differences
through a fair Committee of Arbitration? The
stronger and more just you believe your present
position to be, the more will your action be ap-
plauded by a discriminating public, if you yield
to this request. I trust, therefore, that your con-
sideration of my suggestions will be short and
favorable, and that you will meet mc at least half
way in my earnest effort to end this industrial
strife.
Yours respectfully,
E. E. SCHMITZ,
Mayor.
Thus stands the question of arbitration at the
present writing. The correspondence here repro-
duced speaks for itself. The attitude of the re
spective parties is perfectly clear. Mayor Schmitz;

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
FROM GRAYS HARBOR.
Man's vanity, pride, or greed have been the
causes of the most of the wars of history. The
last named, greed, has been the most in evi-
dence.
The shipping along the Pacific Coast at this
time is obstructed to a degree by the United
Shipping Association of San Francisco locking
the members of the Sailors' Union of the Pa-
cific off its vessels. The sailors asked a raise of
$5 per month and the Association immediately
refused and a lockout followed.
San Francisco is in ruins, and thousands of
men are idle. The Shipping Association, actu-
ated by greed, saw in the calamity a chance
to secure cheap men and to destroy the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific at the same time. The
Union stands for better wages and conditions for
its members. Neither of these things are fa-
vored by the Shippers.
The Shipping Association is as nearly a
"Closed Shop" as its members can force it to
be. Steamships or lines that refuse to join are
pursued in a merciless business way and are
forced to join. It has raised freight rates to
the public so that the freight on one cargo on
the Centralia is over $600 more than a year
ago. But when the sailors ask for a raise of
$5 per month, the Association promptly locks
them off its vessels and then appeals to city
governments and the public for assistance and
sympathy.
The public is powerless to resist the raise in
freight rates fixed by the Shipping Associa-
tion. Yet with brazen audacity the Shipping
Association asks the public to furnish and pay
for police to make it possible to defeat the sail-
ors in their effort to get $5 more than $45 per
month.
The Association says: "The sailors by working
overtime can make :is much as $90 to $100 per
month." Every ma can do that if he will work
every hour of the day for thirty days, but the
bare, cold fact remain-, the regular wages for a
regular month's work is $45.
The sailor's work is hard and the exposure
and danger is great. Every little while a ves-
sel enters this port and the ship's log has some-
thing in it that reads like this: "Lost overboard,
off Mendocino, latitude 40, longitude 127, Oscar
Olson, able seaman. Slipped from bowsprit while
fastening a line. Gale blowing. Growing dark.
Ship wore around and passed over spot where
man went down. No trace of him. Had on
heavy hip boots and rubber coat. Probably sunk
immediately."
That is all. The sailor's effects, usually con-
sisting of a few clothes, are sold immediately
upon the ship's arrival in port and the few dol-
lars got for them sent to his relatives. There
are no funeral expenses.
"But," says the Association. "Why pay the
sailor $5 more. He will blow it in for beer."
Has not the sailor as good a right to buy beer
as a member of the Association has to buy
champagne?
"But $45 a month is enough," says the Asso-
ciation, "and then there is the overtime." It is
noticeable that no member of the Association
ever t.ikes the job.
Man for man, the sailor is as good as any mem-
ber of the Shipping Association. If the sailor
were a genuine pirate he could not hold up the
public a.s the Association does. Andrew Furuseth
and W. Macarthur, the men at the head of the
Sailors' Union of the Pacific, both have clean,
honorable records, and in intellect and honesty
are not surpassed by any member of the San
Francisco Shipping Association. So much for
the personnel of the contending forces.
The Association says, "We have decided to
settle our troubles now." How' By destroying
the Sailors' Union? That will be difficult.
It may be that there are 50,000 idle men in
'Frisco. But they are not sailors, and sailors
cannot be made in a day. Then the public is not
in sympathy with the idea of destroying an or-
ganization of men who ask for $5 more a month
when the wages are $45.
Logs have raised. Lumber has raised. Freights
have raised. The public at large pays these
raises. Will these raises sease if the Sailors'
Union is destroyed? Hardly. The public pays
the raise but the freight men refuse any of the
profits to the sailor. Is the public likely to feel
bitter toward the sailor?
The sailor is a necessity. He has made this
port great. Our shipping has been by sea as
the railroad could not handle the traffic. The
sailor has spent and does spend his money freely
when on shore and this city has received its
share. Our people can appreciate the merits of
this case in this instance and will assist him. The
sailors have a good cause and will win. It is
r than some of the people who make much
ado about a little incident can realize.
The sailors will win and should win. — Grays
Harbor Post.
SEATTLE SPEAKS OUT.
A general tie-up of shipping on the Pacific
Coast is more of a probability than the public
comprehends as a result of the dispute between
the Sailors' Union and the Pacific Coast Steam-
ship Company. The company has been looking
for a chance to reduce wages all down the line
of the various classes of workingmen that it em-
ploys for some years past. It has succeeded
in so far as its miners are concerned. Now it
has thrown down the gauntlet to the sailors.
It will not have so easy a time in coercing the
boys before the mast as it did in coercing those
in the pit, for the very good reason that the sail-
ors have an effective organization where the min-
ers had practically none. 1 11 tackling the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific the Pacific Coast Company
rone up against one of the best organized
unions in the world — an organization that
is not .nily strong within itself, but one that has
affiliations that are world-wide and loyal. Ship-
pers that are not entangled in the fight between
the Sailors and the Pacific Coast Company will
do well not to get tangled. It is in the power
of the Sailors' Union to tie up practically every
coastwise vessel on the Pacific, and the Union
wil do it if necessary to beat the Pacific Coast
Company. That company has assumed the atti-
tude of "Divine Right" Baer— "we have nothing
to arbitrate." An institution that stands on that
ground in these enlightened times is certain to be
de feated in any struggle with a body of or-
ganized workingmen that (likf the sailors) be-
lieves in and will abide by arbitration. — Seattle
(Wash.) Union Record.
THE BUILDING TRADES' VIEW.
Strikes and lockouts— industrial war — are un-
desirable and detrimental to all communities at
any time.
Labor organizations and every trade-union of-
ficer who knows his business will do all in their
power to prevent conflicts of that kind.
Whoever is responsible for the existence of
serious disturbances of this nature has much to
answer for.
Two lives one murdered and one drowned —
three men wounded and live men under arrest
charged with murder, are the results. SO far, ol
the trouble on the city front.
Andrew Kelner, a member of the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific, doing picket duty, was
shot to death the other night by detectives aboard
the National City. Three of his fellow members
were seriously wounded.
A university boy, who, it is alleged, was shang-
haied, is drowned on the Humboldt Bar.
How many other fatalities and crimes which
have been committed during the present contro-
versy between the United Shipowners and the
Sailors we do not know. What is known ought
to be enough, in addition to the injury that the
conflict has caused to the business and the vari-
ous industries of the stricken city.
The Mayor, in asking both parties to submit
their differences to a board of arbitration, has but
given official expression to the demands of the
people. The Mayor's request ought to be cheer-
fully complied with, and hostilities should cease
at once!
The peace, progress and prosperity of San
Francisco demand it!
We have suffered enough loss of late in bu i-
property and life. We certainly can get
along peaceably, if we try, for the next five or
ten years.
The Sailors' Union has accepted the sugges-
tion of the Mayor and agreed to submit the ques-
tions at issue to a board of arbitration, while the
Shipowners seem to evade or ignore the Mayor's
request and have taken a stand for the so-called
"Open Shop."
If the Shipowners persist in this kind of an
attitude, whatever the merits of the controversy
may be, they will hereafter be responsible for the
contiuance of the trouble.
That responsibility will be a heavy one.
At best it cannot be construed as anything else
but treason to San Francisco.
No ignorance will excuse the crime, nor will
any amount of wholesale lying be able to cloak it.
If the Shipowners are trying to force the "Open
Shop," regardless of consequences, they will
meet with the same results as the champions of
that mistaken theory have met with in the past.
The unions in this city and State have never
been stronger than they are to-day, because they
have been severely tried and found equal to the
emergency. They have acted justly and fairly;
they have made sacrifices; they have exhibited a
high degree of patriotism and the people of the
city and the nation know it. — Organized Labor,
San Francisco.
OREGONIAN CALLED DOWN.
The attempt of the Oregonian to discredit the
Sailors' Union because a band of thugs murder-
ously assaulted the ship's non-union crew of the
Johan Poulsen last Tuesday night should be in
keeping with a publication of less pretensions for
broad argument. If union sailors in this harbor
are guilty of the crime they should be punished
to the full extent of the law, and Andrew Furu-
seth, head of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific,
will hail with delight punishment meted upon
them. But for the Oregonian to convict the
Union by implication of the felony is unfair and
foreign to any sense of justice. Furuseth is not
that kind of a man. He is a close student, honest
almost to a fault, broadminded, and from an in-
tellectual standpoint compares very favorably
to the standard of brains in Congress at Washing-
ton, where he spends each winter in the service
of the American Federation of Labor as legisla-
tive committeeman. It is queer reasoning, there-
fore, for the Oregonian to charge this crime to the
Sailors' Union, when such things as these are the
greatest menance to the success of the sailors'
cause, and just what they most deplore. * * *
If the Oregonian would take the trouble to look
into the matter it will find that the sailors' re-
quests are reasonable and just for the reason
that they made their demand for an increase be-
fore the disaster, when business was normal, and
since then the ship companies, who are also own-
ers of large lumbering interests, have increased
their cargo rates and price of lumber. Besides
this volume of business has increased and virtually
adds to the labor of the ship's crew. But the
Oregonian cares nothing for these things. It has
been priming itself for an attack upon the Sail-
ors' Union, and takes advantage of the outlawry
of a few assassins to do it. The digestion of the
• nian in all likelihood will henceforth be
materially improved. — Portland (Or.) Labor

The first motor barge to enter a British
port is the Wasp, from Flushing to the Thames.
It operates with a 24-horsepower motor, giv-
ing a speed of 71-2 knots. It is the first
petroleum barge specially built for the barge
trade, and the first boat of the type to cross the
North Sea. There are at present other barges
in England driven by motors using petrol in
an experimental way on old barges.

BALTIMORE DOCK FIRE.
COMMERCE OF NEW YORK.
Insurance men estimate the property loss of
the fire which occurred at an early hour on the
morning of June 13 on the water front of Bal-
timore at $1,000,000. Three men perished and
the fire was the greatest since the conflagration
of February, 1904.
For a time the entire harbor front was
threatened with destruction, on the north side
the flames being with difficulty kept within the
confines of the wharf of the Merchants and
Miners' Transportation Company, and on the
south side a stubborn battle being fought to
preventawholesale destruction of property by
fire spread from the steamship Essex and six
barges, which were burned. The fire started
at 1 130 o'clock, but at 5 o'clock was out. At
that hour the flames on the Essex had been ex-
tinguished and the shell of the vessel was badly
listed from the water in her hold.
Five men were rescued with difficulty by the
tug Mary, two of them narrowly escaping
death in the flames or drowning, as they were
forced to make flying leaps to the rescuing ves*
sel from the deck of the Essex as the former
boat pulled away from the burning steamer.
On the south side of the harbor the packing
house of the Moore & Brady Company was
damaged, the steamboat Minnie Wheeler, of
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic
Steamboat Company, and a cotton shed of the
Merchants and Miners' Transportation Com-
pany were partially destroyed. They caught
fire from the barges and the Essex when they
floated across the harbor after being cut loose
from their moorings.
The steamer Essex arrived in port several
nights previously, and was half unloaded. She
was lying alongside the south end of the wharf,
and before word could be passed she caught
fire.
Persons living in the neighborhood of the
fire and whose houses were theratened became
panic-stricken, and the police assisted many
women and children to places of safety. Two
old women living on Block street locked them-
selves in the room of a small house that was on
fire, and the police had to break in the door
and remove them by force. Another woman,
very ill and supposed to be dying at the time,
was removed to the City Hospital.
The Atlas liner Allegheny arrived recently
at New York from Kingston and Jamaica with
a story of a waterspout which struck the ship
in the Gulf Stream. Chief Officer Reimers
and Quartermaster Antonio Mallivo were
knocked down and rendered insensible. They
were both on the bridge. The waterspout was
encountered by the Allegheny when the ship
was off Cape Hatteras. Reimers said :
"The waterspout came upon us very sud-
denly. As I saw it approach I turned to the
quartermaster at the wheel and called to him to
look. The spout seemed to be about 100 feet
in diameter. It was moving directly toward
the ship.
"The next instant the waterspout had struck
the ship squarely on her bow. Tons of water
descended upon the ship.'
The ship keeled over "half on her beam end,"
the seamen said, and did not recover an even
keel again for a minute or more.
Preliminary estimates made by the Custom
House authorities show that the Government's
fiscal year, which closes June 30, will break all
records for imports and exports at this port.
Never before has the foreign commerce of
New York assumed such proportions.
Compared with the year 1890 the imports
for this year have increased 31.6 per cent,
while the exports have risen 50.2 per cent. J.
S. Knapp, auditor of the Custom House, esti-
mates that the total foreign commerce of the
port for the year will approximate, if not ex-
ceed, $1,275,000,000.
A significant feature of the importations for
the present year is the ever-increasing tendency
to buy only luxuries in Europe and to supply
the necessaries of life from the American mar-
ket. The imports of precious stones of all
kinds are larger this year than ever before.
Another factor has been the entries of costly
paintings, bric-a-brac, laces, silks and statu-
ary, valued at almost $100,000,000. It is in-
teresting to note that fifteen years ago the
toal foreign business at New York was only
$857,000,000, compared with $1,275,000,000
to-day. The duties have risen from $151,845,-
132 in 1890 to about $i8o„ooo,ooo in the cur-
rent year.
Contrasted with New York, the foreign
commerce of other leading ports shows up
poorly. Last year's record for Boston was
$187,000,000, for Philadelphia $123,000,000
and for Chicago $22,000,000.
MISCELLANEOUS.
WIRELESS AT PHILADELPHIA.
The question of installing wireless teleg-
raphy at the three reporting stations operated
by the Philadelphia Maritime Exchange at
Delaware Breakwater, Reedy Island and Mar-
cus Hook is receiving the attention of directors
and members of the maritime association.
All are in favor of wireless, but the more con-
servative among the directors are of the opin-
ion that the time is premature to experiment
with such a system. Those urging wireless
point to the unsatisfactory conditions which
prevail whenever a storm visits the coast. At
such times the wires, they say, are invariably
in trouble and reports of vessels are delayed
considerably. The question of expense is an-
other item that bids fair to check any move in
the direction of wireless, at least for the pres-
ent. Shipping men are deeply interested in
the question and the matter may be brought
to the attention of the directors at their next
meeting. Should such a system be installed,
it is argued that vesselowners woudl be stimu-
lated to place wireless on all transatlantic boats
plying to Philadelphia. Such a change would
greatly benefit the port and increase the effici-
ency of the Maritime Exchange's service.
The three-masted schooner George May,
bound from Jacksonville for Philadelphia,
Pa., with lumber, was towed into Norfolk,
Va., recently with her bowsprit and head-
gear gone and badly leaking from a collision
at sea with the New Haven schooner Ed-
ward P. Avery. The collision occurred
forty miles southeast of Winter Quarter
Lightship, on May 28.
The seven-masted schooned Thomas W.
Lawson, which was chartered for a period
of years for the Texas oil trade, arrived at
Newport News recently to be fitted with
tanks.
It is estimated that when the American ship
A. G. Ropes, which recently came from Japan
under jury rig, is converted into a coal barge,
she will have cost her present owner about
$26,000.
The schooner Fannie Palmer, which is re-
pairing at Newport News, having been ashore
on the Virginia coast, has been purchased by
Captain John G. Crowley, of the Coastwise
Transportation Company. She has been re-
named the George B. Hudson.
The Philadelphia Maritime Exchange has
been informed by the United States engineer
that the Artillery Datum Point No. 5 in the
Delaware River, at Salem Cove, which was
complained of as a menace to navigation, has
been removed, and that no obstruction now
exists at that point.
One of the largest icebergs reported this
season was recently passed by the Spanish
steamer Cadagua. The berg, which was 700
feet long and 60 feet high, was sighted on
May 31, in latitude 41.35 north, longitude 48.07
west. In latitude 41.31 north, longitude 48.30
west, the Cadagua passed another big berg
200 feet long and 30 feet high. A still smal-
ler berg was also passed in the same vicinity.
Eleven seamen who refused to sail on the
British steamer Fashoda, at Norfalk, Va.,
claiming that the vessel was overloaded, were
paid off recently and left for another port to
re-ship. The Fashoda is bound from Mobile
to Newcastle, Eng., by way of Amsterdam,
and was ready to proceed to sea. The sea-
men declined to go unless the deckload of lum-
ber was stowed. They argued that the ship
was top-heavy, and would stand small chance
of weathering a gale, should the vessel en-
counter one on the way across. As the men
were firm in their stand, eleven new seamen
were obtained and the vessel sailed.
New York has decided to take a more con-
ciliatory attitude toward the great steamship
companies that have been threatening to go
to other ports on account of the high charges
for piers. The new piers in the Chelsea dis-
trict will be rented by the city on a basis of
4 per cent of the cost of construction, with
maintenance added. This rate was agreed on
recently at a meeting between the representa-
tives of the Cunard, American, Red Star,
White Star and Wilson lines and a commission
named by the Sinking Fund Commission. The
rate is considerably lower than first contem-
plated, but it was thought advisable to favor
the transportation companies. If the Sink-
ing Fund Commission approves the report, all
of the big steamship companies will dock in
the new section and the city will have open
piers that may be leased to railroads, or at
which tramp steamships may dock.

against the gasoline staamer Anvil for $729.72 due
for material furnished.
Seaman Frangen, charged with the murder of
a crimp named Stubley, at Port Townsend,
Wash., was acquitted on June 21. The affray grew
out of a quarrel over the shipping of a crew on
a deep-water vessel.
The attachment against the British ship Hat-

The British steamer Housatonic, Captain
Henry, arrived at San Francisco on June 18,
twenty days from Hakodate, Japan, with a cargo
of 47,087 bags of sulphur. The Housatonic will
carry a return cargo of oil to the Orient.
The Lurline became winner of the transpacific
yacht race from San Pedro, Cal., to Honolulu, T.
H., at 11:30 a. m., on June 24, when the time
allowed expired. At 4 p. m. neither the La Pa-
loma nor the Anemone had been sighted.
The two new Pacific Mail docks at San Fran-
cisco, officially known as piers 42 and 44, will
be ready for the big steamships of the com-
pany about August 1. The railroad switches have
been laid, and tffe roadways are nearly ready
for use.
The steam-schooner J. B. Stetson, which
arrived at San Pedro, Cal., on June 18, from
Gray's Harbor, reports slight damages sustained
in collision on June 12, twelve miles off the
Columbia River lightship, with the barkentine
Jane L. Stanford.
The Naval Board of Inspection and Survey will
leave Washington July 16 for Seattle, Wash.,
where it will conduct the trial trip of the United
States battleship Nebraska. The board will later
go to San Francisco and try the Milwaukee, whose
runs will be made off Santa Barbara, Cal.
The steamers City of Seattle and Spokane, of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, arrived at
Seattle, Wash., on June 18, with nearly $2,000,000
in gold, besides $70,000 worth of furs. The Dol-
phin, of the Alaska Steamship Company, was
scheduled to arrive on the 21st with $1,000,000
in gold.
The Senate committee on June 21 reported
Kahn's bill giving permission to the Alaskan
Navigation Company to "change the names of
five of its steamers so they will begin with "star."
All of the company's ships except these bear
this prefix to their names and the company de-
sired a complete uniformity.
Captain Angus Kenyan, of the schooner Not-
tingham, was assaulted by a seaman named John
Carroll, and dangerously wounded. Carroll was
arrested and held pending the outcome of Captain
Kenyan's injuries. The sailing of the Notting-
ham, which was bound to New York with spars,
has been indefinitely postponed.
Captain Winkel of the steam-schooner Alcazar
reports that the black buoy off the end of the
north jetty at Humboldt, also the bell-buoys
marking the north channel, and a buoy inside
the entrance marking the channel leading up the
bay, are gone. He says it is hard, in the absence
of these buoys, to follow the channel.
Senator Perkins has proposed amendments to
the Sundry Civil bill making appropriations for
the repair of light stations which were damaged
by the earthquake, as follows: Cape Mendocino
light, $5,400; Point Arena light, $98,000; South-
ampton shoal light, $17,640; Bonita light station,
$6,000; Point Pinos light station, $19,500.
The United States Army transport Buford will
sail from San Francisco during the present week
for Alaska with two battalions of the Tenth
Infantry, which will be stationed at far northern
points for the coming year. The Buford will
also carry a cargo of supplies, and upon landing
men and freight will take on board the Third
Infantry, which is to be returned to the United
States.
Orders were received at the Mare Island (Cal.)
Navy Yard on June 19 to expedite the manu-
facture of all steam engineering stores for the
United States cruiser California, one of the three
vessels under construction at the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco. The instructions came
as a surprise, as it was understood that the Mil-
waukee was to be the first vessel of the three
turned over to the Government.
United States Senator Perkins on June 24 called
up and secured the passage of a bill of great in-
terest to San Francisco, providing for the dis-
charge of vessels at night on payment of the
salaries of Customs inspectors. This will facili-
tate the movement of freight in bond without
putting the burden upon the United States of
requiring inspectors to work overtime without
pay. The House had already passed the bill.
General Manager Pearce of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company, says the two new steamers
building in the east for that company will be
ready next year, the first probably in February
and the other by the middle of the year. Con-
tracts for building these modern liners have been
awarded to the New York Shipbuilding Com-
pany, at Camden, N. J. The steamers are to be
each 416 feet long, 48 feet broad, and with a
depth of 15 feet. Each will have a speed of
fifteen knots an hour, and will cost $1,000,000,
their fine passenger accommodations being
superior to anything now on the Coast.
A supplement issued by the Coast and
Geodetic Survey to the Alaska. Coast Pilot gives
information received and notes the more im-
portant corrections and additions affecting the
text of the Coast Pilot since its publication, also
the results of the surveys made since that date.
A copy of the supplement will accompany each
copy of the Southeast Alaska Coast Pilot when
issued by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. It
will also be sent to anyone having a copy of the
Southeast Alaska Coast pilot on application to
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington,
D. C, or to 580 Washington street, San Francisco.
Captain Going of the Japanese liner America
Maru pleaded guilty in Judge Dole's court at
Honolulu, T. H., on June 14, to a charge of
violating the Federal Immigration laws by bring-
ing immigrants in the steerage of the steamer
without providing legal accommodations en
route. He was fined $250 and costs, and the fine
was paid. All of the Japanese and Pacific Mail
steamers calling at Honolulu are said to have
made alterations in their Asiatic steerage quar-
ters since the arrest of Captain Going some
months ago. The principal grounds of complaint
were that not sufficient space per bunk was
allowed and that there was no separation of the
sexes.
Little more is heard about the steamer Cen-
tennial, which, with a cargo of sulphur and under
command of Captain Gilboy, left Mororan, Japan,
on February 24 last and has not since been heard
from. She has been out 117 days on a trip that
is ordinarily made in twenty-two days, and the
well-known old vessel is therefore generally re-
garded as lost, although no official report of her
as "missing" has yet been made by Lloyd's.
A dispatch received at Victoria, B. C, on June
21, by the superintendent of the Provincial police,
dated at Uclueluet, on the west coast of Van-
couver Island, says that a bottle has drifted
ashore on Long Beach, near Uclueluet, with the
following message: "On life-raft hundred miles
off Columbia Bay. John Meldren. Alive; come
to my rescue. June 5, 1906." A life-buoy marked
Louise, San Francisco, has also drifted ashore
on Long Beach.
Representatives of the Pacific Mail Company
have made a thorough examination of the Occi-
dental and Oriental liner Coptic, at San Francisco,
as they did of her sister-ship, the Doric, some
weeks ago. This revives the rumor that Harri-
man needs these popular old liners in his busi-
ness. It is reported that he saw the advisability,
when he was in the Orient, of a line of steamers
connecting Nagasaki with Vladivostock and
Shanghai, not only because it would be a profit-
able enterprise in itself, but because such a line
was contemplated by a Russian company, which
would eventually monopolize the trade between
those important points. The establishment of a
line on the route by the Pacific Mail Company
would not only forestall the Russians, but would
avoid the necessity of the big liners calling at
Shanghai, which, on the outward trip particularly,
has always proved expensive.

The fishermen along Detroit River and
Lake St. Claire are not doing sufficient busi-
ness to pay expenses. The scarcity of white-
fish and perch is felt more than the other
kinds of fish. A few years ago this class of
fish was found in abundance in the Detroit
River. To-day these fish are much in demand,
and the fishermen are unable to supply their
customers. Fishermen claim that the supply
of 25,000,000 fry of whitefish sent out by the
Sandwich hatchery to replenish the Great
Lakes is not near the amount necessary to meet
the depletion of this variety of fish by reason
of fishing and the destruction by other acquatic
inhabitants of the large waters and rivers.
Millions of mullets, suckers, carp, and other
varieties feed upon the whitefish fry, and it is
estimated that only one whitefish minnow out
of a thousand reaches maturity. Another fac-
tor in this lack of fish is thought to be the
dredging work carried on at Amerherstburg.
The hatchery at Sandwich has a capacity
for handling over a hundred million whitefish
fry, but they can not secure the whitefish dur-
ing the spanwning season to extract the eggs.
The whitefish is fast disappearing and will
soon be as rare as the buffalo on terra firma.
"The department expends for the propoga-
tion and protection of inland fisheries in On-
tario, Quebec, Manitoba, and the provinces
in the Northwest only $50,000 a year for all
purposes, while the sum of $550,000 is ex-
pended for the advantage of fishermen in the
maritime provinces," declared a Windsor fish-
erman who has spent many years in the busi-
ness. Fishermen have observed, especially
near French River, how the whitefish deposit
their eggs. The water on the shoals is very
shallow. The rocky beds would be literally
covered with spawn, when suddenly schools
of soft fish would appear and the eggs disap-
pear, only a fraction being left in the crevices
of the rock. This war of extermination is
aided by fishermen pursuing the whitefish.
Thus between the devastation wrought by the
soft fish and man, whitefish are rapidly disap-
pearing. In Lake Erie, where 2,000-pound
nets are in use, the greedy soft fish have been
taken from the lake in large quantities and the
whitefish decrease is small, although percep-
tible. The plan to offer a bounty for catch-
ing the destroyers and at the same time ap-
propriating a little more money for the propa-
gation of whitefish fry, meets with hearty in-
dorsment by all fishermen in the district.
Following closely upon the announcement
that the first of the two mammoth Cunard
line steamships has been launched in Eng-
land, the Hamburg-American line has issued
a statement that it has ordered a steamship
built that will put even the 760-foot Cunard-
ers in the shade. The proposed liner is to be
800 feet in length, have a beam of 90 feet
and gross tonnage of 35,000 tons, which is
10,000 tons more than the new Cunarders.
It is a question whether the new ship may
not, like the Cunarders, be of the turbine
type, in which case she will also break every
record for speed across the Atlantic. The
vessel will have accommodations for about
4000 passengers of all classes.
A cablegram from Matanzas says that
the British steamer Jupiter, from Norfolk
for Cardenas, which was stranded at Cabe-
/.apala, has been abandoned, and will prob-
ably be a total loss. The crew were landed
at Cardenas.

WEDNESDAY, ------ JUNE 27, 1906
FUNERAL OF COMRADE KELNER.
Comrade Andrew Reiner was buried last
Sunday by the Sailors' Union of the Pa-
cific, with every mark of sorrow and re-
spect which the members of the Union and
their associates in the labor movement could
bestow upon the memory of the dead.
The services were held from the chapel
of the Sailors" Home. The Rev. \Y. M.
Bourse, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal
Church, read the funeral service, after which
the great audience filed past the body of
the dead comrade. A procession was then
forim ompanying the hearse from the
Sailors' Home to the Ferry Depot, where
the larger number of mourners boarded the
funeral cars and proceeded to Mount Olivet
Over one thousand persons assembled
around the grave to take part in the last
ceremonies. The Rev. Mr. Bourse performed
the final service, after which a delegation of
Odd Fellows, of which order the deceased
comrade was a member, paid the tribute of
that order to its dead.
Comrade Walter Macarthur delivered a
brief address, followed by a similar service
by Brother Wm. R. Hagerty, 1'resident of
the San Francisco Labor Council. The prin-
cipal address at the grave was made by Com-
rade Andrew Furuseth, who in solemn and
impressive manner portrayed the character
of the deceased and pointed the moral of his
death and its bearing Upon the history of
the seamen's struggle to attain their right-
ful place in society.
The ceremonies were closed amid a most
affecting scene. Strung men mingled their
tear- with those of women and children as
the mortal remains of the departed com-
rade were hidden from view forever.
The attendance at the funeral was widelj
representative of the local labor movement.
In addition to a large representation from
the Sailors, Firemen, Cooks and Stewards,
Fishermen, and Bay and River Steamboat-
men, official delegations wen- present from
the San Francisco Labor Council, City Front
Federation and Typographical Union, No.
21. Many other organizations were repre-
sented by members who attended to pay
their personal tribute of sympathy and re-
spect. A number of old members and friends
of the Sailors' Union, who upon all occasions
in the past have shown their interest in that
organization, were also present.
The funeral ceremonies were conducted
under the management of Comrade Edward
Andersen. The pall-bearers were: Com-
rades C. A. Ilium, F. A. Hansen, Nels Nel-
son. Jack Hainze, Harry Heisterman and A.
Forch, all of whom were in the launch with
Comrade Kelner at the time of his death.
Floral pieces were presented by the Sailors,
Firemen, Cooks and Stewards, Fishermen,
and brotherhood of Teamsters. Individual
floral offerings were made by Mrs. C.
Thomas and son, Mrs. Fuller and many
other personal friends.
In connection with the death of Comrade
Reiner, the San Francisco Labor Council,
at its meeting on June 22, adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions :
Whereas, 'flic murderous work of the seven-
teenth instant was the direct result of the war
011 the maritime unions now being prosecuted by
nited Shipping and Transportation Asso-
■ ■ ; 1 herefi ire, be it
Resolved, That the San Francisco Labor Coun-
cil, in regular meeting assembled this _'_>d day of
June, hereby expresses abhorrence of the policy
of the shipowners which has resulted in the mur-
der of \11drew Kelner and the wounding of his
three fellow unionists, and tinders to the com-
rades of these men sincere sympathy in this theii
hour of sorrow; and
Resolved, That, as further evidence of our sym-
pathy with the comrades of the victims of the
shotgun policy of the United Shipping and Trans
portation Association, and as a mark of respect
for the imii Andrew Kelner, the president
delegation including the presi-
tnd secretary of this Council, to attend the
lilies Sunday, June 25.
■ The funeral delegation of the Labor Coun-
cil was composed as follows: Wm. R. Hag-
erty, Wm. P. McCabe, George W. Bell,
James Bowlan, Charles Melrose, A. Tiede-
mann and Andrew Gallagher.
The Machinists' Union, of San Francisco,
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved. That we call upon the proper officers
and courts of this city and county to bring to
the bars of justice these employers, private de-
tective agents and actual murderers who have
to a large extent in the past taken the liberty
to handle and lis, firearms as they pleased in vio-
lation of law, and earnestlj urge that no leniency
be shown them, but instead that thej be prose
CUted to the full extent of the law and pay the
penalty for the unwarranted and atrocious mui-
der of which they now stand charged; further
Resolved, That we extend to the Sailors' Union
and friends of these unfortunate nun our
felt sympathies over the loss ir true
and loyal members -namely, Andrew Kelner — and
hereby pledge ourselves to render every assist-
ance to them that lies within our power, both
morally and financially, to tin- end that proper
punishment may be meted OUl to these murder-
ers; also that the Struggle in which they are now
ged may be brought to an early and satis-
'.■ 1 ti irj ci mclusii in.
Resolved, Tha ilutions be
forwarded to the Sailors' Union of the f
to the public press of the city and spread upon
the minutes of this meeting.
W. R. HAGERTY, President.
Typographical Union, No. 21, of San Fran-
cisco, in addition to sending a delegation to
the funeral of Comrade Reiner, expressed
its sympathy by formal communication, as
follows :
San Francisco Typographical Union, No. 21,
To the Officers and Members of the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific.
Gentlemen :
The bearer hereof, Mr. J. j. O'Neill, is chair-
man of a delegation of printers appointed by
San Francisco Typographical Union, to attend
the funeral services held under the auspices of
your organization over the remains of Andrew
Kelner.
We desire to express our sincere sympathy to
the members of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific
in their hour of trouble and to enter protest
against the methods pursued by the shiping in-
terests to defeat the just demands of your organi-
zation, and further express the hope that those
responsible for the untimely death of your com-
rade will be speedily brought to justice.
The fact that our regular monthly meeting is
to be held to-day at 2 o'clock alone prevents
the officers of this Union and a much larger dele-
gation from attending the services.
Fraternally,
II. L. WHITE, GEO. A. TRACY,
Secretary. President.
Delegation:
L Michelsou.
J. M. Scott,
J. A. Ryan,
M. W. Dunbar.
J. J. O'Neill.
Resolutions of condolence have been
adopted by the Ironmolders' Union, Hack-
men's Union and Cemetery Employes'
Union. These evidences of respect for the
memory of Comrade Kelner and sympathy
with the struggle of the organized seamen
indicate a widespread public sentiment that
can not but produce good results in the
outcome of the present dispute. The mortal
remains of Comrade Kelner lie beneath the
sod, but his soul marches at the head of
the army of labor in its all-conquering prog-
ress toward the goal of justice.
MURDER BY THE ASSOCIATION.
Eureka, Humboldt, June 11.
Dear Mother: —
Just arrived here on the North Fork, a sailing
vessel. Could not drop postal from harbor as
I was practically sh I, together with five
other boys. I worked before the mast for three
and was snk the whole time. Expect to
be home in about a week.
TOM.
The foregoing tells the whole story of the
methods adopted by the United Shipping
and Transportation Association and the Citi-
zens' Alliance in their fight against the sea-
men's unions. Like a voice from the grave,
the last message of Tom McCormick to his
mother accuses the Association and the Al-
liance of murder — murder no less criminal
because inspired by greed rather than by
deliberate intention.
The message here quoted was written by
Thomas McCormick, a student in the Uni-
versity of California, who was "practically
shanghaied," as lie himself says, on the
steam-schooner North Fork. McCormick had
a desire to go to the I >rient and went off
to the North Fork under the impression that
he was bound to that locality as a cabin-boy
in one of the transpacific liners. When the
victim discovered that he had been trapped
and was helpless to save himself, he signed
articles under the name of "Andrew Mc-
Carey." When the North Fork arrived at
Eureka McCormick left her and took pas-
sage for San Francisco in the gasoline-
schooner Corinthian. The Corinthian was
wrecked on Humboldt bar, and McCormick
was drowned. But for the postal sent by
McCormick from Eureka, the boy's parents
would probably never have learned the 'ate
of their son. By an almost fortuitous cir-
cumstance the boy's death has been revealed,
and with that revelation the desperate and
criminal methods of the parties responsible
for the strike and lockout of seamen have
been laid bare.
Interest in the McCormick case is by no
means confined to regret for the untimely
fate of that young man nor to sympathy for
his bereaved parents and family. The Mc-
Cormick case is of vital importance to the
public at large. The methods adopted in
shipping (i. e., shanghaiing) McCormick are
in common use every day. How many of
the "young Americans," who, we are told,
are now being secured to man the Associa-
tion vessels, are being secured in precisely
the manner adopted in the McCormick case?
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
How many of these "young Americans" will
meet the same or a similar fate before the
close of their experience?
The fact is well known, as demonstrated
by actual, personal investigation on board
the Association vessels, that these vessels
are being sent to sea with entirely inexperi-
enced men and boys, with men who, like
young McCormick, do not even know the
difference between a steam-schooner and a
sailing vessel, and in some instances with
Japs and other classes who can not speak
English. The Association shipowners are
willing to take risks in their fight against the
seamen's unions. But what of the traveling
public? The attitude of the United Shipping
and Transportation Association toward the
public is much the same as that taken by it
toward the men whom it sharighaies on its
vessels, namely, absolute indifference toward
life and property. What do life and prop-
erty amount to when weighed in the scale
with the sacred principle of the "Open
Shop"!
A dispatch from Seattle, Wash., announces
that striking seamen in that port are being
replaced by students from the University of
Washington. Presumably, these youths
think the present a good opportunity to "see
the world" and "broaden their minds" at
the expense of a mere temporary change of
name. Waiving for the present the mor-
ality, or rather immorality, of their act in
taking sides against a body of men engaged
in a legitimate effort to better their condi-
tions, it may not be amiss to direct the at-
tention of the Washington students to the
fate of young McCormick, otherwise known
as McCarey. The latter, fired by a desire
to "see the world," found himself ship-
wrecked on Humboldt bar. Students who
go to sea as scabs should assure themselves
beforehand that the world they are goin«'
to see is the world that is on the map.
Herbert V. Ready, the notorious employ-
ment-agency shark and ally of the Citizens'
Alliance, has been held by United States
Commissioner Heacock, of San Francisco,
for trial on a charge of illegally supplying
seamen. Ready, true to his instincts, engaged
in the attempt to provide scab crews for the
struck vessels of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association, and, of course,
collected a fee from his victims, in direct
violation of the United States law on the
subject. The would-be crimp will be
vigorously prosecuted and, if possible,
landed in jail.
Benjamin Franzen, a seaman on the Brit-
ish ship Morven, was acquitted at Port
Townsend, Wash., on June 21 of the
charge of murdering Harry Stubley, a board-
ing-house runner of that port. The details
of this case may be easily filled in by every-
one acquainted with crimping methods.
There is some consolation, the greater by
reason of its rarity, in the reflection that in
the present instance the right man got his.
Comrades Hansen, Peterson and Borgen-
sen, who were shot in the Sailors' Union
launch on June 17 and narrowly escaped the
fate that befel Comrade Kelner upon that
occasion, are gradually recovering from their
injuries. These comrades are receiving ev-
ery attention at the hands of the Union, and
it is hoped will shortly be restored to full
health and vigor.
Those San Franciscans who feel that they 1
must patronize the saloons, which are short-
ly to be reopened, just by way of assuring
themselves that conditions have really and
truly "resumed the normal," should insist j
upon the red label of the United Brewery
Workmen, and also upon the working but-
ton of the bartenders. The demand for the
union label is as important as any other
feature of the city's "resumption."
The Coroner's Jury in the case of Andrew
Kelner has rendered a verdict of murder,
but without naming either of the men who
fired from the National City. Evidence suf-
ficient to justify the prospect of conviction
has already been entered against Captain
Hammar and four other "gun-fighters." The
prosecution of these men will be vigorously
pushed with all the resources at command
of the Sailors' Union.
When purchasing overalls, oilskins and
ready-made suits demand the label of the
United Garment Workers' Union. The la-
bel is the only certain protection against
Chinese and sweatshop products.

MAYOR URGES ARBITRATION.
(Continued from Page 1.)
has left no doubt as to his desire to bring about
a termination of the trouble by peaceful means.
The unions have promptly and unreservedly ac-
cepted the Mayor's suggestion, in accordance with
the established policy of the labor movement.
The United Shipping and Transportation Asso-
ciation, likewise acting in accordance with policy
— the policy of "nothing to arbitrate" — has replied
in the language of "diplomacy and delay," other-
wise described as the language of reservation and
equivocation. The Association endeavors to
evade arbitration by begging the question as to
the merits of the controversy, apparently for-
getting that the more it emphasizes the correct-
ness of its own attitude the more it condemns
itself for refusing to submit that attiude to the
judgment of an arbitrator.
Mayor Schmitz, in his second letter to the As-
sociation, clearly points out this inconsistency in
the latter's course. Whatever action the Asso-
ciation may finally determine upon, there is no
doubt that that body now stands condemned by
the public as the party wholly responsible for the
continuance of the dispute in the shipping indus-
try.

GROWTH OF LAKE TONNAGE.
BIG REPAIR JOBS.
The American Shipbuilding Company has at
present eight boats under contract for 1907
delivery. In all of the construction, with the
possible exception of one or two individual
vessels, the boats will run over 550 feet in
length, and it is now expected that before the
year is over one vessel will be constructed
close to 650 feet. Whatever may be the
length, it is practically insured that of the
present draft all new boats will have a carry-
ing capacity of at least 10,000 tons of iron
ore, and approximately the same amount of
coal. If the time comes in the history of these
boats that the channels are deepened in the
Limekiln Crossing and in the Straits of Mac-
kinac, these same vessels will be able to
load to a depth that will permit them to carry
from 12,000 to 14,000 tons of any bulk com-
modity. In a recent report to the chief of
engineers at Washington, Colonel Kingman
made the statement that this condition was
completely reversed on the Lakes, that harbors
and channels have to be built to accommodate
the boats, rather than boats built to accommo-
date the harbors, which was the condition ten
or fifteen years ago.
The engineering department adopting this
idea, it is more than probable that before an-
other year the engineering movement will be
on foot to reconstruct channels between the
Lakes and in the rivers to suit the demand of
the larger boats which are now building. It
is apparent, also, that with the increase in size
of boats their architecture is being altered to
rapid unloading, and also that the dock
machinerv is being accommodated to the new
needs. The Lakes, therefore, are in the cen-
ter of a period of transition from old to new
methods, which are rapidly leaving the old
equipment and old boats far in the back-
ground.
The reconstruction of dock macmnery and
channels has resulted naturally in movements
to rebuild the harbors, also. Some important
movanents along this line are in contempla-
tion and some work has been done. By the
same token the marine men say that the time
when an effective canal between the Ohio
River and Lake Erie, the Hudson River and
Buffalo, or the St. Lawrence River and
Georgian Bay, can be built, to meet the new
demands of the Lakes, is getting further and
further away from the realm of possibility.
The New York canal is supposed to be built
to accommodate boats not to exceed twenty-
one feet draft. The propsed canal between
the Ohio River and Lake Erie is not on such a
scale. The propsed Canadian canal is also far
short of the possible future needs of the Lake
boats. Lake marine men make the state-
ment that the commerce of the Great Lakes
i-. developing so rapidly that it seems almost
necessary that it should In- confined in the com-
paratively narrow limits of travel between the
upper and the lower Lake ports. The time
seems very far in the future when a canal will
be built that will permit the operation of boats
between the Lake ports and the Coast.
Lumber receipts at the Tonawandas for May
were record-breaking, amounting to 60,440.-
496 feet, as compared with same period last
vear, when 58,316,226 feet were received. Of
this amount 12,744,437 was Canadian stock.
There is a big rush of repair work and
with the jobs that are in sight some of the
plants will have all the business they can
handle for a number of weeks. There are
eight steel vessels that are now slated to go
into drydock for repairs and some of the boats
will be out of commission for five or six weeks.
The steamer Eugene Zimmerman, which is
one of the hardest looking wrecks that was
ever brought to Cleveland, will be at the local
shipyard for seven or eight weeks, and the
repair bill will be between $50,000 and $60,000.
The Zimmerman was sunk in collision with
the steamer Saxona in the Soo River the mid-
dle of April, and it will be the latter part of
July before she goes into commission again.
The steamer Crescent City and barge
Manila, which were piled up on the rocks in
the big gale that swept Lake Superior last No-
vember, are in drydock at Superior. They will
be put in shape to be brought to Lake Erie,
where they will be repaired. It is expected
that the Crescent City and Manila will be big
jobs.
The Manila will probably be converted into
a steamer, and the machinery and boilers of
the wrecked steamer Lafayette will be put in
her. The change, however, will not be made
until next winter.
The steamer Mataafa, another victim of the
November gale, which has just been released,
will probably be repaired at Superior. She
still has about 4,000 tons of ore aboard, which
will be taken out before she is docked.
The steamer John B. Cowle, which was in
collision with the Canadian steamer Erin, is in
drydock at Toledo. She is pretty badly dam-
aged forward and will be out of commission
for weeks.
The steamer Roman, which was ashore on
Summer Island recently, will have to be
docked and she may go to Cleveland. Two of
her compartments were punctured when she
stranded. The steamer Grecian, which is on
the bottom at Detour, will also be a drydock
job.
The work of releasing the steamer Eden-
born, which is ashore on Split Rock at the head
of Lake Superior, will be started in a few
days. It will be a big job to get' the Eden-
born, and it will be quite late in the season
before she is ready for business.
Repair bills on the eight vessels named will
be very heavy and it will take a good-sized
bank roll to settle with the wreckers.
Considerable time will be lost by the dam-
aged boats, as a large part of the shipping sea-
son will be over before some of them turn a
wheel.
The steamer Bulgaria, which was recently
stranded on Fishermen's Shoal, will be aban-
doned to the underwriters as a constructive
total loss. Captain James Corrigan, owner of
the steamer, has received a dispatch from Cap-
tain C. H. Sinclair, who went to the wrecked
steamer, stating that the Bulgaria is in bad
shape. Her decks are foced up, her forefoot
is -one and her bottom is badly damaged. The
steamer is full of water. The Bulgaria is
loaded with coal and was bound for Green Bay
when she went on the rocks. She was built
in 1887. She is 280 feet keel and 39 feet beam.
UNION ITEMS.
The inspector's card system now being or-
ganized on the Lakes by Lake Seamen's
Union bids fair to prove a big success.
Comrade John Abrams, No. 841, was killed
while riding a bicycle, on June 1, in Detroit.
Deceased was struck by a street car.
It is rumored that there is a fellow in Es-
canaba, Mich., furnishing men for vessels and
taking an advance. All members of the Lake
Seamen's Union who enter Escanaba should
endeavor to obtain proof of this and report to
Secretary Penje.
Have the agent at your port look up your
book number. You probably have the wrong
number in jour book. All new members of
the Lake Seamen's Union are required to
apply at some office to have their numbers
changed thirty days after joining.
Comrade Scanlon, of Detroit, complains
that two men are shipping men on boats out
of Detroit. Wescott, he says, usually orders
men through the Lake Seamen's Union Hall;
Parker never does. Scanlon requests that the
crews of boats which pick up men at De-
troit examine those men's books or cards.
A contract was closed recently between Cap-
tain John Mitchell and the officers of the
American Shipbuilding Company for a new
10,000 ton steamer for delivery in 1907. This
is the seventh boat which that company now
has under contract for delivery for next year.
The new steamer will be 532 feet long, 56 feet
beam and 31 feet deep. The size of the en-
gines and boilers has not yet been determined,
but those details will be agreed upon a little
later on. She will be the regulation bulk
cargo carrier of the Lakes and will cost when
completed $410,000. It is announced that she
will be built in either the Cleveland or Lorain
van's of the Company and will be finished in
time to participate in the Lake trade by the
opening of the season of navigation next year.
This big steamer, which will carry on the nor-
mal draught of Lake boats, about 10,000 tons,
will strengthen the position of the Mitchell
fleet.
The Conneaut ore reports for the month of
May shows 524,237 tons to be the amount re-
ceived during that month. This is a falling
off of about 175,000 tons as compared with
May of last year. The shipments both coast-
wise and foreign show a slight increase.
The new Hanna dock at Duluth recently
unloaded 8,971 tons of coal from the steamer
Paine in exactly twenty- four hours, using
three Mead hoists. This is equal to 122 tons
per hour for each hoist, and is a record at
the head of the Lakes.
The Customs report for May shows iron ore
receipts at Ashtabula: Coastwise 761,360
tons, foreign 5,143 tons, total 766,503 tons;
stone received, 1,200 tons; coal shipped, coast-
wise 112,250 tons, foreign 11,094 tons; total
173,344 tons.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
MARINE NOTES.
The keeper of Freshetes Point and Middle
Hay Lake lights was recently reported miss-
ing.
The schooner Dayton was libeled at Tona-
wanda recently to satisfy a claim of $5,000 by
Oille & McKean.
The schooners Minnie Slawson and W. O.
Goodman have been renamed Bangor and
Boston, respectively. Both boats are going to
the Atlantic Coast.
The steamer Pasadena, once one of the
finest boats on the Lakes, is being converted
into a tow-barge. She will carry 25 per cent
more cargo than she did as a steamer.
Captain Parlane McFarlane, a well-known
steamer master, is dead at Buffalo at the age of
sixty-two years. His latest command was the
Mauch Chunk, of the Lehigh Valley line.
The Customs office reports show a heavy
movement of lumber from the head of the
Lakes during the month of May, the total
being 63,117,000 feet from the ports of Du-
luth, Superior and Two Harbors. The April
movement from the same three ports totaled
38,930,000, making a grand toal of 102,047,000
feet of lumber moved from this end of Lake
Superior thus far during the shipping season
of 1906.
The Montreal Corn Exchange has decided
to petition the Dominion Government to build
a 2,000,000-bushel grain elevator at Port
Colborne. The local grain men insist that a
grain elevator of 1,000,000 bushels, which is
rumored is inadequate to the growing busi-
ness. The Government will also be petitioned
to deepen the channel leading to the present
elevator at Port Colborne to accommodate
vessels with full cargoes.
The port of Superior, including West Su-
perior, led all Lake ports in shipments of grain
and flaxseed by water during April. Ship-
ments aggregated 6,760,105 bushels, as against
6,630,311 bushels from Chicago, not including
South Chicago, and 3,227,104 from Duluth.
Manitowoc surpassed Milwaukee by 25,000
bushels. There were no shipments from Bay-
field or Ashland. If the flaxseed were elimi-
nated, Chicago would be far in the lead. The
head of the Lakes has a monopoly of the flax,
but it has no corn.
A contract has been closed between the
American Shipbuilding Company and parties
in Duluth for a coarse freighter, which is the
ninth order to be placed with this company for
1907 delivery. The new boat will cost $290,
000, and will be a duplicate of the steamer
Joshua Rhodes. She will be 440 over all, 420
feet keel, 52 feet beam and 28 feet deep. She
will have triple expansion engines, with cylin-
ders 22, 33 and 58 inches, with a 42-inch
stroke. Steam will be furnished by two Scotch
boilers, 13 feet 2 inches in diameter and 11
feet 6 inches long. The boilers will have a
working pressure of 175 pounds, and will be
fitted with Ellis & Eaves induced draft.
The grain receipts at the head of the Lakes
for the month of May were 2,008,000 bushels
in round numbers, as compared with 344,000
bushels in the same month last year. The
shipments in May this year were 6,464,000
bushels as compared with 6,298,000 bushels in
the corresponding month in 1905. The stocks
are about the same now as a year ago, approxi-
mately 9,000,000 bushels. This includes 4,-
811,000 bushels of wheat and 2,000,000 bushels
each of flax and oats. The stocks a year ago
contained only 1,715,000 bushels of wheat, but
there was 6,000,000 bushels of flax at that time.
The grain receipts for last week were 271,183
bushels and the shipments 953,381 bushels.

LIGHT UNDER WATER.
COCOANUT GROWING.
A new system for doing submarine repair
or wrecking work with pneumatic tools by the
light of an arc-lam]) that burns under water,
is described in the Western Electrician. Says
the writer:
Real or imaginary horrors incident to going
down to a sunken vessel or other submerged
objects have kept the number of professional
divers at a minimum. At depths of fifty feet
or more, even in comparatively clear water,
the gloom is said to be impenetrable. For these
reasons few people care to don the diver's
armor and descend below the surface. It may
therefore be said that with the development
of an electric search-light and diver's lamp
and a kit of compressed air tools for sub-
marine repairing a new industry has been de-
veloped.
The arc lamp is enclosed in a water-tight
metallic case, with a glass chamber at its lower
end. When in use the diver may carry the
lamp by means of the circular guard handle,
set it down, or suspend it in a convenient man-
ner 'directly by the cable, no ropes being re-
quired. Its weight under water is only a few
pounds — just enough to keep in position in a
current or tideway. The submarine cable
conducting the current to the lamp leads to
the surface and thence to a combined junction
and switch-plate controlled by the diver's at-
tendant. From this plate connection is made
to a neighboring electric circuit, storage bat-
tery, or small generator outfit supplying the
electric power.
B) means of the electric light and com-
pressed air it will be possible to make per-
manent repairs to the hull of a vessel, even
under fire. Further, it is predicted that a
fleet in cruising trim may be kept fairly clean
and in good repair without recourse to the dry
dock.
In order to render the services of a diver
' of real value in making durable repairs it was
found necessary to considerably change the
methods of operation and equipment. The
question of light, the first step, was solved
by the use of the Yale submarine electric lamp,
by its inventor, Francis G. Hall ; the problem
of increasing the workman's efficiency has been
obtained by Mr. Hall by means of new sub-
marine pneumatic tools.
A SWEATSHOP EXHIBIT.
The London Commercial Intelligence tells
of a remarkable exhibition of sweating indus-
tries now open at the Queen's Hall in that
city. The idea originated in Germany, where
an exhibition of articles made by home
workers, under oppressive conditions, was
given in Berlin in March, 1904. The ex-
hibition now made in London includes only
home industries, the object being to acquaint
the public with the evil effects of the sweat-
ing system. The. Commercial Intelligence says
that it would be impossible to get together a
more ghastly array of witnesses of man's in-
humanity to man than is to be found in the
bare facts of the prices paid to the unfor-
tunate fellow creatures under the sweating
system. Sacks are on exhibition, which are
repaired as low at 3 and 4 cents per dozen,
and children's shirts are finished for 8 cents
a dozen. For sewing covers on tennis balls 12
cents a dozen is paid. Those merely illustrate
the figures shown in this London exhibition.
The large percentage of cocoanuts shipped
from the Panama district are gathered by the
San Bias Indians, who occupy a strip of coast
territory extending on the Caribbean Sea from
Point San Bias to Cape Tiburon, a distance
lit 125 miles. The largest percentage of cocoa-
nuts from the San Bias coast are traded by
the Indians to the masters of small coasting
schooners, who give in exchange manufactured
articles, who give in exchange manufactured
hats, sliiies, etc. Mosl nf these cocoanuts are-
shipped to the United States direct.
The cocoanuts exported from Colon and vi-
cinity are raised principally by native I'an-
amans on small plantations of 500 to 1,000
trees. The only large plantation is that of the
Caribbean Cocoanut Company, located at Toro
Point, just across the bay from Colon, and
owned by an American. This holding is the
only one of any size, and consists of about
20,000 trees. The fruit grown on this planta-
tion and on the small native places are shipped
to the United States by steamers at the freight
rate of $4 a thousand. No cocoanuts are dried
and shipped as copra, being simply husked,
and no use is made of the fibrous material
enveloping the shell.
From the entire consular district of Colon
about five to six million cocoanuts are exported
to the United States annually. The number
of cocoanuts shipped from Colon to the United
States during 1905, amounting to about one
and one-half million, were valued at $54,600.
The market price of prime cocoanuts fluc-
tuates from $15 to $25 a thousand, according
to the demand.
In selecting land for planting cocoanuts,
light and free soil should be chosen for nursery
purposes, and the seed nuts should be selected
from the product of healthy, heavy-bearing
cocoanut palm trees. The nuts are placed
about 6 inches in the ground and 2 feet apart.
When about 8 months old the young palms
are 'transplanted from the nursery direct to
the field, and placed about 18 feet apart. In
the best lands the trees should bear in the
fifth or sixth year. After the palms are 6
years old they require very little attention,
except to keep them free from weeds and other
plants. Of course the better the cultivation
the larger and better the quality of the fruit.
Two German mechanics have invented a
clever electric device for changing hymn
numbers in churches.
VANADIUM IN PERU.
A syndicate of Pittsburg capitalists has
taken steps to develop a large deposit of vana-
dium under a concession from the Peruvian
Government. Joseph M. Flannery is secretary
of the company. Vanadium, which is a gray-
ish-white powder, melts at a very high tem-
perature, and, as an alloy, has been introduced
in small quantities in the manufacture of iron
and steel, giving the finished metal remark-
able strength, resistance, and toughness, to
such degree as to make practical the manu-
facture of armor plates and projectiles at one-
half the customary weight and thickness with
greater sustaining qualities. Its scarcity here-
tofore has preventted its extended use. With
a larger supply further uses are expected to be
found for it in the chemical trade and else-
where.
The Irish International Exhibition, to open
in May, 1907, will charge exhibitors 4 shillings
(97 1-3 cents) per square foot for space, with
a minimum charge of £5 ($4.86). Motive
power will be supplied in machinery hall at a
moderate price.

FRENCH MATCH MONOPOLY.
THE ISLAND OF BERMUDA.
According to statistics recently published by
the Minister of Finance the total receipts of
the match monopoly in France during 1904
amounted to $6,834,124. The profits were
$5,034,355. Official estimates for 1905 give
the receipts as amounting to $6,851,180, with
the profits slightly in excess of those of the
preceding year. The average consumptation
per capita in 1904 was 1,006 matches, repre-
senting an individual outlay of 20.6 cents.
Wax matches came in for less than 4 per
•cent of the quantity sold. The exports figured
for only $501.41.
There are six match factories, all owned
and operated by the State. They employ 750
men and 1,429 women. The wages paid to
the operatives per day of ten hours averages
-$1,27 for the men and 96 1-2 cents for the
women, which is practically double the average
wages received by women in France. A pen-
sion is paid to those having attained 60 years
of age. Free medical treatment is provided
for all employes.
It has been figured that it cost the French
Government at least $37.74 to manufacture a
million matches of the cheapest kind. That
is held to be excessive. At any rate it does not
compare well with theresults obtained by pri-
vate industries in other countries. It is a
fact that the French factories have repeatedly
been supplied with foreign matches at a price
under $27 per million. This has led to several
atacks on the management of these establish-
ments. The latest one was made in the Senate
on November 14, last, by Mr. Antonin Dubost
who is now president of that body and who
was then chairman of the finance committee.
He criticised severely what he termed "the
anti commercial character of nearly all State
establishments," and after having referred to
the difference in the cost of production under
State and private management concluded as
follows :
"I long ago stated on this floor that our
State industries are a cause of ruin for the
treasury. I say now that it is our duty to
change our course and to turn over to free
industries and free commerce the highest share
of the production of our State industries."
The profits of the match industry, are rela-
tively so large that some persons assert that no
attempt is made to give the public a fair equiva-
lent for its money. The French matches are
of such poor quality that they have become one
of the jokes of the country. Moreover, the
importation of foreign matches being the sole
prerogative of the Government, very few are
placed on the market. This monopoly being in
the nature of a tax has been accepted good-
naturedly ever since its establishment, in 1872.
No one is allowed to practice medicine in
Japan unless he holds the Government license.
Foreigners desirous of obtaining the license
must be residents in Japan. Their application
must be accompanied by either diplomas from
respectable medical colleges or licenses from
their own Government, together with appli-
cant's personal history, etc. Upon receipt of
such application the Government will investi-
gate the character and standing of the appli-
cant, as well as that of the college, or the
nature of the license from foreign Govern-
ment, and, if found satisfactory, it will grant
the license. The natives invariably prefer
their own physicians, and the foreign com-
munity— less than 3,000 people — is amply pro-
vided with both American and European
doctors.
The British Government has inaugurated a
system of rigid economies in colonial expendi-
tures which closely affects Bermuda. Large
sums have been spent from time to time on
fortifications, batteries, roads, buildings for
quarters, barracks, etc., which have made Ber-
muda practically one great fortification. The
navy-yard and floating drydock are on a large
scale. The nevy and military pay rolls have
distributed great sums of money to the benefit
of trade, and the people of the colony became
accustomed to regard the Imperial Government
as the source of their prosperity.
Now, by the reduction of the troops to one
regiment and the naval establishment to a
captain's command, and all public works ex-
tensions stopped, Bermuda is brought to face
the problem of learning to be self-dependent.
The tourist business is expected to restore
some revenue, and the Brtish authorities are
furthering aid along this line by sanctioning
new laws, which will allow aliens to hold real
estate and build hotels. When these bills are
passed it is expected that many Americans
will avail themselves of these privileges. The
colonial officials are now at work on a plan
to erect a modern $300,000 hotel. The deepen-
ing and widening of the channel from the
outer sea into the large, land-locked harbor of
St. George is now being discussed- A coal-
ing station is then to be placed in the inner
harbor. During the past year business has
been fairly active. The lack of industries has
been a hindrance to growth in trade. A small
industrial beginning has been made by the
establishment of a cigar factory, the wrappers
to be grown on the islands. It is expected
that sufficient wrapper tobacco can be raised to
supply the factory, with a surplus for export.
FOUR YEARS ON ICE.
RATES OF FOREIGN POSTAGE.
In connection with the work of the recent
Universal Postal Congress, -the Postoffice De-
partment has given out the following as to the
effect of one of the provisions of that conven-
tion affecting this country.
The Universal Postal .Congress, re-
cently in convention at Rome, Italy,
ordered a substantial reduction in letter
postage by increasing the unit of weight, ef-
fective on and after October 1, 1907, from
fifteen to twenty grams and providing that
while postage on the first twenty grams shall
remain at 25 centimes (5 cents), every ad-
ditional twenty grams shall be at the rate of
15 centimes (3 cents).
Great Brittain and the United States
strongly urged that the unit of weight for them
should be fixed at one ounce, as it would be
extremely difficult for them to express an
equivalent weight for twenty grams, not hav-
ing adopted the metric system . This
request was granted. This will give
the two great countries exceptionally low
rates for the exchange of letters. Under the
reduced rate a letter to Great Brittain will
cost 5 cents for the first ounce and 3 cents
for the second ounce, or 8 cents for two ounces.
In other words, when the new rates become
effective a letter packet weighing six ounces
can be sent to Great Britain at the rate now
charged for a two-ounce packet.
In the British Museum are books written
on oyster shells, bricks, tiles bones, ivory,
lead, iron, copper, sheepskin, wood and
palm leaves.
Marooned in the Arctic region, with only
the Esquimaus for company for four long
years, George B. Cleveland tells an interesting
story of his experiences. He is the superin-
tendent of the whaling an trading station estab-
lished at Foxtown Bay, north of the Arctic
Circle, on Hudson Bay, by the Robert Kennis
Company, of Dundee, Scotland, and has under
his charge 300 natives trapping the wolverine,
polar bear, silver fox and other fur-bearing
animals. With modern boats and appliances
he is making a great success of the post.
It was when Cleveland went North in 1899
to locate a trading post for a New Bedford
syndicate that his worst experience took place.
After the first year he was deserted 1500 miles
from the nearest white settlement and left to
make his way back as best he could. He was
compelled to join the Esquimaus and for four
years remained with them, dressing in skins,
living in the ice huts ad eating raw meats and
fish. During this time he acquired the native
language. Constantly traveling from place to
piace and treated as a member of the tribe, he
lost much of his civilized life, and when one
day a Scotch whaler was sighted and Cleveland
went aboard and met a while man he could
scarcely speak his native tongue, and was
nauseated by the cooked food set before him.
It took him a month to regain his habitual
ease as a civilized man.
From this meeting with the Scotchmen
came his employment later as superintendent
of their station, which he has brought to a suc-
cess since then.
But in his abandonment of which Mr.
Cleveland speaks with much feeling. "I came
back to see my people and to secure redress
for the manner in which I was deserted in
those snow wastes,' says Mr. Cleveland. "If
there is a law in God's country I am going to
have justice. When I went away it was under
a written contract with the New Bedford peo-
ple to serve five years, with the provision that
they should send a ship and provide me with
food and ammunition once a year. A company
of New Bedford men fitted up the steam whal-
ing ship Francis Allen, and I located a whaling
station on Hudson Bay, and I was left there.
The ship was to return in a year, but owing
to the unprofitableness of the venture it never
returned, and after my provisions were ex-
hausted I distributed my rifles among the Es-
quimaus and joined them."
Mr. Cleveland says his case is now in the
hands of a New Bedford lawyer, who is going
to sue for redress. Mr. Cleveland is now on a
six months' furlough, and is expected to start
back to his trading station soon.
Consul J. E. Rowan, of Port Stanley, Falk-
land Islands, writes that the "new industries
opening now," consist of an establishment for
canning mutton and one for utilizing the
entrails of sheep for sausage. He thinks that
"at least three more canning factories could
find business on the islands," and says that
"unlimited quantities of peat of excellent
quality arc available for manufacturing
briquettes."
The old signal station which has been op-
erated between Tuxpan and the bar at the
Gulf of Mexico has been removed and a new
and more modern one substituted in its place.
The new one commands a perfect view in all
directions, being situated on high ground, and
is of great service in clear weather to signal
arrivals and departures of vessels.

TACOMA, WASH.
Employment in the British building I binding trades th
trades shows a general improvement
as compared with a year ago.
Of the total number of persons en-
gaged in remunerative occupations in
France, 42 per cent are engaged in
agriculture or forestry, and 30 per
cent in industrial occupations, other
than mining and quarrying.
It is estimated that there are about
2,500,000 independent farmers in the J into force on July 1, 1902, the duration
ere is some falling '
off in employment, and the tinplate
trade continues to show a decline.
Up to 1902 the hours of labor in
Austrian coal and lignite mines were
regulated by the general mining law
of 1884, and were limited to twelve
per day, reckoned from bank to bank,
only ten of which could be spent in
actual work. By a law which came
German Empire, and that of these
over a million are members of co-
operative societies, the most popular
form being credit societies.
Reports from Natal show that there
is no improvement in the building
trade. Labor is in excess of the de-
mand, and mechanics are warned
against going to that country at the
present time to seek employment.
Work in the pig iron industry in
Great Britain continues good, and is
much beter than a year ago. Returns
relating to the works of 108 iron-
masters, employing about 24,500 work-
people, show that 342 furnaces are in
blast.
The death rate from accidents at
coal mines in the pricipal coal-produc-
ing countries in 1904 were Austria .92,
Belgium .93, France 1.07, Great Brit-
ain 1.24, Germany 1.90 and United
States 3.35 per 1,000 persons em-
ployed.
In 1905 there was an exceptionally
large number of strikes and lockouts
in Germany, and disturbed industrial
conditions have continued during the
present year, there being very few
districts which have not recently been
affected by disputes in one or more
trades.
Employment in the British en-
gineering trades generally continues
to improve, and is much better than
a year ago. The percentage of trade-
union members returned as unem-
ployed at the end of April was 2.7, as
compared with 2.8 at the end of the
previous month, and 5.9 in April, 1905.
Work in the iron and steel plants
in Great Britain is much better than
a year ago. The volume of employ-
ment at 189 works from which returns
have been received is 84 per cent
greater than a year ago. It is better
at steel works than at iron works, the
average number of shifts worked be-
ing 5.72 at the former and 5.26 at the
latter.
Of 10,864 children of under 16 years
of age employed in the Belgian textile
industries, 3,292 earn I franc (19
cents), but less than I 1-4 francs (25
cents); 2,969 earn 3-4 franc (14 1-2
cents), but less than I franc, and 2,454
1 1-4 francs or more daily. The most
general length of the working day,
exclusive of intervals, was 11 1-2
hours.
A report on the subject of provid-
ing meals for underfed school children
shows that in Copenhagen, Denmark,
where the meals are entirely free,
one-third of the children avail them-
selves of the dinners provided; in
Vienna and Brussels about one-tenth;
and in Paris one-fourth. In almost
every case one meal a day only is
given, namely, the dinner, which con-
sists for the most part of soup and
bread.
According to the latest official re-
ports employment in Great Britain
continues to improve on the whole.
The pig iron, engineering, shipbuild-
ing, cotton, woollen, worsted, furnish-
ing, and boot and shoe trades show
an improvement. There is also a
general improvement in the building
trades. In the printing and book-
of the shift for persons employed
underground in coal and lignite mines
was limited, except in special cases,
to nine hours, bank to bank, inclusive
of snap-time and other pauses spent
below ground.
A return has recently been issued
by the British Home Office of alien
passengers brought to the United
Kingdom from ports in Europe, or
within the Mediterranean Sea, during
the three months ended March 31.
The total number of alien passengers
landed was 84,016, of whom 35,215
were cabin and second-class passen-
gers exempted from inspection, and
36,216 were transmigrants. During
the three months forty-seven expul-
sion orders were made requiring
aliens to leave the United Kingdom.
From a report recently issued by
the British Home Office, it appears
that the number of persons engaged
in mining and quarrying in Great
Britain and abroad in 1904 was about
5,000,000. Of this total, roughly
speaking, one-fifth were employed in
the United Kingdom and one-third in
the British Empire. More than half
the total employed were engaged in
getting coal — Great Britain employing
over 833,000, the United States 594,-
000, Germany 543,000, France 171,000,
Belgium 138,000, Austria 119,000, and
India nearly 93,000.
According to the returns received
from the Distress Committees under
the British Unemployed Workmen
Act, and from the local correspond-
ents of the Board of Trade, the
amount of distress due to unemploy-
ment in April showed a further de-
crease as compared with March, and
was much less than a year ago. Al-
together 18,065 persons received em-
ployment-relief during April, their
total earnings amounting to £27,357,
or an average of about 30s. 3 d. per
head for the month. In March the
total earnings were £48,251, or 33s.
9d. per head. The average number of
days worked during April was 9.6.
In April, 1905, the returns showed
that 9,119 persons received employ-
ment-relief, the average number of
days worked being about II.
According to the recently published
reports on the results of the Occu-
pation Census taken in France on
March 24, 1901, the number of per-
sons actively engaged in some re-
munerative occupation, or in the army,
on that date was 19,715,075, or 50.57
per cent of the total population of the
country. At the Census of 1896, the
number of persons engaged in re-
munerative occupations was 18,994,051,
or 49.37 per cent of the total popula-
tion. The preponderance of the male
sex among the working population
was not quite so great in 1901 as in
1896, the proportion in 1901 being
65.49 per cent, as compared with 66.20
per cent five years earlier. Between
1896 and 1901 the proportion of
females occupied to the total female
population increased by 5.7 per cent,
compared with a corresponding in-
crease of only 2.7 per cent among
males.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL
The House Committe on Interstate
and Foreign Commence lias author
ized a favorable report on the Senate
bill making a maximum number of
hours of continuous labor for rail-
way trainmen sixteen, to be followed
with a rest period of ten hours.
Non-union printers who have taken
the places of striking members of
Typographical Union No. 16 are being
photographed in a novel effort to aid
in winning the struggle for an Eight-
Hour day that has been in progress
in Chicago since last August.
By unanimous opinion the Colorado
State Supreme Court has upheld the
constitutionality of the Employers'
Liability Act passed by the Legisla-
ture in 1901. Under this Act an em-
ployer is responsible for the death
of an employe by accident, even if it
be caused by the negligence of a co-
employe.
The strike in the Indiana coal fields
practically ended on June 8, when the
committee of operators and miners
agreed to adopt the 1903 scale. Work
will be resumed at once. The agree-
ment is for two years and embodies
the main points in the -1903 agreement
with a few changes in the conditions
governing mining.
The possibility of a strike of the
street-car employes of Detroit, Mich.,
has been averted by a vote to accept
the oflfer of the Detroit United Rail-
way of 25 cents per hous for all men
now in the employ of the company and
23 cents per hous for the first year
of employment for men hired after
June 1, 24 cents the second year and
25 cents thereafter.
The national executive committee
of the United Mine Workers of Amer-
ica closed a two-weeks' meeting
at Indianapolis, Indiana, on
June 13. A per-capita assessment of
50 cents per week on the working
membership of the organization was
ordered. It is estimated that this will
bring in a revenue of from $125,000
to $150,000 each week.
The tellers completed the count at
Fort Smith, Ark., on June 15 of the
referendum vote by Southwestern
coal miners on the question of ac
cepting the proposed compromise
with the operators. The agreement,
affecting Arkansas, Indian Territory
and Missouri, was carried by 1,400, a
majority of about two-thirds. The
Kansas miners had previously fav-
ored the agreement.
It seems probable that as a result
of the legislation in the closing days
of Congress may immigrants will
have their steps directed into South-
ern fields of labor. Men active in
promoting the plan hope that when
enough of these aliens have arrived
the negro laborer will find that if he
would live he must work continuously
and that then there will be no need
for Europeans. In other words,
there seems to be a feeling that the
immigrate is to be used as corrective
of the black man — "a cure of laziness."
The Greater New York Council,
Brotherhood of Carpenters, on June
15 ratified an agreement between the
carpenters and the Master Contract-
ors' Asociation, thereby bringing
to an end the strike. By the agree-
ment the master carpenters will raise
the wages of the Brooklyn men from
$4 to $4.50 a day and of the Man-
hattan men from $4.50 to $4.80 a day.
The new wage scale of the Brooklyn
men will go into effect on August 15,
and the new scale for Manhattan men
on July 1st.

The schooner Theoline, 476 tons,
built at Belfast in 1900, now at New
York, has had her name changed to
Lakewood.
The steamer New Berne recently
sailed from Norfolk for Philadelphia,
Pa., where she will be operated be-
tween Philadelphia and Lewes, Del.,
in the passenger and freight trade.
The House Committee on Naval
Affairs has authorized an adverse re-
port on the resolution asking the Sec-
retary of War to inform the House
as to the cost of armor plate and an
armor plant.
The British steamer Soswald ar-
rived at Funchal, Madeira, on May 30,
and landed the crew of the abandoned
British schooner Canadian, Captain
Conley, from Cadi, May 16 for St.
Johns, Newfoundland.
The steamer Erin, up bound and
towing the schooner Danforth, was
run into and cut in two by the steamer
Cowle in the St. Clair River, just be-
low St. Clair, on May 31, and three of
the Erin's crew were drowned.
A splendid silver service, furnished
by popular subscription by the people
of Maryland for the United States
cruiser Maryland, was presented on
May 31, on board that vessel to her
commander, Captain Ingersoll.
Ten men were killed and about
forty wounded as the result of an ex-
plosion on June 14 on the British
steamer Haverford of the Interna-
tional Navagation Company, at Liver-
pool, Eng., from Philadelphia, Pa.
A ship's longboat, evidently re-
cently abandoned, with life-preservers
and oars floating alongside, was
picked up on the George's Bank by
the fishing schooner Ralph Russell,
which arrived at Boston, Mass., re-
cently. There was nothing to lead to
its identification.
The schooner Mabel Wilson sprang
a leak and sank just outside the
Cleveland breakwater on May 28. One
unknown seaman was drowned.
Seven other members of the crew
were rescued after a hard light. Cap-
tain Gotham and Mate Gunnison of
the schooner were badly hurt while
being taken from the sinking vessel.
The Senate amendment to the big
20,000-ton battleship in the Naval
Appropriation bill was adopted by the
1 louse on June 21 after a vigorous
tight. The amendment provides that
before any proposals are received and
accepted the Secretary of the Navy
shall report to Congress at ils next
session full details covering the type
of such battleship.
The Naval Appropriation bill which
passed the House of Representatives
on May 17, carries an appropriation
of $99,764,000. The amendment pro-
viding that the Secretary of the Navy
could go into the open market and
purchase chains, anchors and cordage,
should it be demonstrated that they
could be had cheaper in free markets
than they could be made by the Gov-
ernment, was defeated by a vote of
;88 '<) 129.
In bringing tin- disabled American
clipper ship A. ('.. Ropes from Kobe,
Japan, to New York, Captain Rivers
completed successfully what was
probably the first attempt in the
chronicles of the American merchant
marine to take the dismantled hull of
a great, full-rigged ship across two
seas. The voyage began last Decem-
ber. The ship was sold at Kobe, after
she had been badly damaged by a ty-
phoon, to Lewis Luckenbach of New
York.

Getting There. — Tankley — "I
see, we've had four rounds of drinks,
haven't we? And Markley's called
for a Scotch hi| ich time."
Luschman — "Except the last time.
He called for a 'Hotch Skyball' then."
Give and Take. — "Gracious! my
dear," said the first society belle,
spitefully, "I do hope you're not ill.
You look so much older to-night."
"I'm quite well, thank you, dear,"
replied the other. "And you — how

"Now, sir, you must stop drinking be-

Luschman — "Let me suggest a com-
promise, doctor."
Doctor — "Well, what is it?"
Luschman — "I'll stop drinking be-
tween drinks."
Helpless Woman. — "My wife's the
most helpless creature," growled
Cadly; "simply can't do anything
without bothering me to help her."
"Yes?"
"Yes. Only last night I had to
reach up and get a candle off the shelf
of the pantry for her so she could go
down the cellar and bring up a scut-
tle of coal."
His Joke. — Mrs. Lushman — "Now,
sir, where have you been till this late

Mr. Lushman — "Been shoppin', m'

"Why do you think the plaintiff in-
sane?" a witness, examined as to
somebody's mental condition, was
asked by the counsel at a trial.
"Because," replied the witness, "he
is continually going about asserting

gentleman of the wig, "do you think
that when a person declares he is the
Prophet Mohammed that is a clear
proof of his insanity?'

complacency, "I happen to be the
Prophet Mohammed myself." — Tit-

"NOTHING TO ARBITRATE.
>j
"W
E ARE OF THE OPINION that
there are no differences that should
call for arbitration."
Such is the substance of the final reply made
by the United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation to the request of Mayor Schmitz ■ that
the dispute between the Association and the
unions of Sailors, Firemen and Cooks and Stew-
ards be submitted to arbitration.
In other words: "There is nothing to arbi-
trate!"
The character of the Association's reply is fa-
miliar in the recent history of labor disputes. The
motive of that reply is the same in the present
instance as in all preceding cases. The Associa-
tion takes the position that it alone has a right to
say what wages shall be paid in its business, and
it proposes to fight for the maintenance of that
right(?).
Arbitration, in the judgment of the Association,
implies, on the one hand, a surrender of the em-
ployer's right to "run his own business," and,
on the other hand, a recognition of the fact —
or theory, as the employer regards it — that the
employe also has some rights in the business and
that the public is entitled to consideration equally
with both employer and employe.
The United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation insists that it alone is interested in the
shipping business and that it alone must dictate
the terms upon which that business shall be con-
ducted. The Association's employes, the seamen,
may suffer injustice in the terms of their employ-
ment, and the Association's patrons, the public,
may suffer inconvenience from lack of building
materials and other commodities, but these con-
siderations amount to nothing compared to the
right of the Association to "run its own business."
That right(?) must be vindicated, even though
all other rights be ignored or ruined! Hence the
dictum: "There is nothing to arbitrate!"
The proposal to arbitrate, made by Mayor
Schmitz, was promptly and unreservedly accepted
by the seamen's unions. The Association, after
considerable delay, replied to the Mayor in the
language of "diplomacy and delay," saying it
would give the proposal "most careful considera-
tion."
After Mayor Schmitz addressed a second let-
ter to the Association, urging upon that body its
duty to "meet him half-way" in the effort to end
the trouble, a further delay of nearly a week, the
Association submitted its reply, as follows:
E. E. Schmitz, Mayor of the city and county of
San Francisco:
Dear Sir: — I have the honor of acknowledging
your valued communication of June 23.
Upon mature consideration of the causes lead-
ing up to the present situation, and after consulta-
tion with the members of our Association, and
believing, as we have from the outset, that the
sailors, firemen, cooks and waiters on the steam-
schooners have been and are the most liberally
paid men in like vocation in the world, we are of
tin opinion that there are no differences that
should call for arbitration.
Sincerely appreciating your coutesy and thank-
ing you for the interest you have taken in regard
to the United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation, I am very truly yours,
H. W. GOODALL,
Chairman United Shipping and Transportation
Association.
"Upon mature consideration." These three
words constitute an acknowledgment of the Asso-
ciation's real position. As has been pointed out
by Mayor Schmitz, the press and all who have
studied the situation, the position of the Associa-
tion— as stated by itself — is so strong that it can
not fail to win in any arbitration proceedings.
Why, then, docs the Association hesitate, and in
fact refuse, to submit to arbitration? Why so
much "mature consideration?"
The answer is perfectly plain. The Association
knows that its case is a mass of fabrication that
would go to pieces under investigation. The
Association also knows that its case — the real
case, not the pretended case submitted to the
public — would be condemned t>y any arbitrator,
as an outrage upon the rights of its employes.
The "mature consideration" which the Associa
tion has given to the proposal to arbitrate has
been directed, not to the merits of the case itseh,
but to the language of its refusal to arbitrate.
Notwithstanding the "diplomacy and delay" in-
dulged in by the Association, its final reply to
Mayor Schmitz is an absolute failure. The reply
disguises nothing; it is merely a superfluity of
words, meaning nothing more than that the As-
sociation prefers to take its chances in a fight
rather than submit its case to reasonable and
impartial judgment.
Now that the position of the Association has
been definitely determined, it remains to be seen
whether Mayor Schmitz, the press and the public
will carry their expressed convictions to the point
of action against the Association, or whether they
will succumb to the purely selfish interests in-
volved and throw the weight of their opinion
against the seamen, in order that commerce may
be fully re-established, regardless of any injustice
to the latter.
We think it fair to assume that the public will
adopt the former of these courses, if only as a
matter of public pride and in order that the As-
sociation may be compelled to respect the public
wishes and interests, however free that body may
be to ignore the interests of its employes.
The trouble can be ended — and ended in favor
of the right — in one week.
Let the authorities, the press and the public
combine to force the Association to obey the
i:iws.
As the Association has started the fight in vio-
lation of justice, it is carrying on the fight in vio-
lation of law. Only by this means can the As-
sociation hope to win, or even to prolong, the
struggle. The Association depends upon the ig-
porance of the public and the indifference or con-
nivance of the authorities, with reference to the
law in the case, to offset the pressure of public
protest.
The Association violates the law every day by
sending vessels to sea, in some instances without
crews, in others with partial crews composed of
absolutely inexperienced men.
In most, indeed in practically all, of these in-
stances the crews are shipped under misrepre-
sentation. Young men — the "young Americans"
of whom the Association spokesmen boast — are
shanghaied, kept on board the vessels against
their will, and sent to danger and death.
The fire and boat drills required by law on
board all passenger vessels arc neglected as a
result of incompetent crews.
Members of the seamen's unions have been
shot, and in one instance murdered, while exer-
cising their right to talk with men illegally placed
on board ship and held there against their will.
Let the laws in these respects be enforced, and
the strike and lockout will go to pieces in a few
days. With immunity from the law, the Asso-
ciation may maintain its position indefinitely.
Compelled to obey the law, the Association must
speedily abandon its policy of warfare upon the
maritime unions.
The public, as an interested party — the most
interested party, as some declare — holds the is-
sue in the hollow of its hand. The public rights
can not be conserved nor its powers exercised by
mere words. In the language of Mayor .Schmitz,
"the occasion calls for movement and action."
l!y all means let us have "movement and action,"
and plenty of it!
The seamen's unions base their demand for
public action against the United Shipping and
Transportation Association, not merely upon
grounds of law, nor yet upon grounds of public
policy, but also, and chiefly, upon grounds of
justice. The seamen's case has been submitted
to the public without the slightest reservation and
with absolute confidence in its own merit and
the discriminating judgment of the public.
The seamen's case, briefly stated, consists in a
demand for a slight increase in wages over the
scale which has been in force for ten years past.
After negotiations covering a period of more
than five months the seamen, on May _><;, deter-
mined not to s?.il on the Association vessels un-
til the new scale is conceded.
This was six weeks after the great lire. Mean
while, the seamen's unions had suspended all
efforts to enforce the new scale, pending neces-
sary relief work. And meanwhile the Associa
ciation shipowners had raised freights and the
Association lumbermen had raised the price of
their product!
Now the Association answers the demand of
the seamen by a general lockout and tie-up of
the commerce of the port. And the Association
follows that action by a declaration that the sea-
men's unions are responsible for the scarcity of
building material!
The Association's explanation is either a very
large compliment to its own nerve or a very
small compliment to public intelligence. It is
up to the public to pass judgment upon this
point.
No wonder the Association insists that there is
"nothing to arbitrate!"
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
MEN VS. PROPERTY RIGHTS.
A part of the shipping on this harbor is tied
up. Two of the mills arc shut down and the gen-
eral public merely knows that "a strike is on"
and is told in the daily paper that the strike is
the rcsu't of "bad faith on the part of the
ors."
The public depend-;, for its information, upon
the newspaper, and a grave responsibility rests
with the publisher. A perversion or distortion
is may cause untold harm in a community.
A newspaper may suggest mischief that would
not have occurred without the suggestion. It may
distort f:. -ts to gain a temporary advantage but
the public punishes when the facts come to light.
Dropping the merits of the several instances
that, have occurred locally during the trouble, let
gel to first facts in the case. A group of
men who own steam vessels unite to control the
shipping at San Pedro, San Francisco, Portland,
Grays Harbor, and the Sound. These men have
headquarters at San Francisco. By holding a
majority of the steam vessels, they can, and do
force independent steamers into the Association.
If these vessels will not join them, the Associa-
tion forces manufacturers to refuse to ship their
products on such vessels by a threat that they
will not furnish vessels to such manufacturers
when they need them. By this means the As-
sociation has forced most of the steam-schoon-
ers plying between the ports named, to join. Tn
other words, the Association forced an absolutely
cloved shop for shipping. The next step was an
immediate raise in the price of freight. These
raises have continued until at this time
steam-schooners are making more than $1000 per
month more than they did a year ago.
A prominent citizen of Aberdeen informed the
Wednesday, in the presence of witn
thai he owns an interest in several steam schoon-
ers and that they paid a dividend of twenty-five
per cent during 1905.
Freights are higher this year than they were
last. This raise is paid by the public. Other
will be made and the public will pay them
— every man that buys a foot of lumber, or an
article brought in by one of the boats.
The sailors working on these steam-schooners
at $45 per month asked for a raise of $5. The
Association immediately locked them off its boats
and asks the public — which it is robbing — to fur-
nish and pay for policemen to guard its boats
while it offers big inducements to the scum of
the earth to take the sailors' places until the
latter are "starved into submission."
And the public furnishes the policemen.
it not a curious situation?
The right vested in property is greater than
the right vested in man. * * *
The members of the Shipping Association are
employing the same tactics followed by the Chi-
cago packers. The Santa Monica came into this
port Tuesday with a crew of negroes. The New
burg came in with Japanese cooks and firemen.
The employers are offering exorbitant wages to
men to break the strike, as when it is over they
will get tli back. Then it will be as Sin-
clair writes to the New York World of June 11:
"Many of these green negroes stayed on after
the strike, and they are now working in Pack-
iwn — a constant source of degredation. And
the unions being entirely helpless, the packers
now drive the men without mercy and use them
up faster than ever before."
Is the sailor the one at fault?
Will the public be bettered if he is defei

A CAMPAIGN OF FALSEHOOD.
At this writing the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association has not replied to the
ir's letter, and it is freely stated in- shipping
circles that the reply, when it is made, will be
quivocal as to preclude further proceedings
of the nature suggested by the Mayor that the
unions can participate in without first signing
their death warrants as labor organizations.
In the press dispatches of yesterday it was re-
d that several large lumber companies in
Washington had ceased operations, giving the
controversy of the Sailors as the reason. As a
matter of fact, transportation conditions in the
lumber trade do not warrant this action. The
steam-schoners owned by members of the
Steamship Association comprise a minor fraction
of the licet (sailing vessels and steam-schooners)
engaged in transporting lumber to this port,
and were it not for the machinations of the men
determined on precipitating an anti-union war,
none of the lumber companies would cease opera-
tions. These men revealed their purpose when
they involved the Pacific Mail and the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company and other concerns
in no wise affected by the controversy. When
they can do this, it is a comparatively easy mat-
ter to secure the cooperation of lumber com-
panies in which they are interested in order that
their campaign to create prejudice against the
unions may gather force-. From the first it has
been their aim to stir up public sentiment against
the unions and their press agents have befogged
the real issue by interjecting downright false
hood and misrepresentation in their daily inter
views published in the newspapers plainly for the
purpose of inducing the people generally to be-
lieve that the Sailors, Firemen and Cooks sought
to profit by the common misfortunes of our
people. The unions, however, have made it clear
that it is the steam-schooner owners and the
lumber dealers among them who are wresting
abnormal profits from a stricken people, and by
offering to submit their case to arbitrators the
unions have torn away the last vestige of the
shipowners' mask of fair-dealing and revealed
them as they are — men determined to exact all
the traffic will bear in the way of freight and
lumber rates, and to further increase their profits
through the "Open Shop," or cheap-labor system.
Johnson, owner of the National City, in com-
mending his hired assassins, and Manager Pearce
of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, in de-
livering his ten-day, "Open-Shop" ultimatum, have
come squarely out in the open and revealed the
lurpose of the men who control the United
Shipping and Transportation Association. — Labor
Clarii hi. San Francisco.
PROVOKING RIOT AND BLOODSHED.
It is evident from the tactics adopted by a
number of the steamship owners and other boats,
.that nothing would suit some of the leaders in
the fight against the Sailors' Union better than
to incite some hot-headed union man to do some-
thing rash. A murder or two would serve their
purpose to perfection. So anxious are the insti-
gators of the really anarchistic moves made thus
far that they have men hired wdio do not deserve
to be called anything else than thugs, to strut
around with arms on their person. These men
have orders to shoot at the slightest provoca
tion. In San Francisco the other day a union
man was killed and three wounded by just such
depraved specimens of humanity. Nor was much
noise made about it.
Had a union man been guilty of doing the
shooting instead of the hired thugs of the other
side, there would have been made a stir in the
realms of newspaperdom. To allow these hired
thugs to move about at large is a menace to so-
ciety. They are liable to commit murder at any
time and the law should step in to disarm them.
On the wharfs in the vicinity of Eureka these
armed sentinels are stationed. They are even
more conspicuous on the boats. Such maneu-
vering is quite uncalled for at present for any
legitimate purposes. Neither longshoremen nor
sailors have clone anything in this port to war-
rant such procedure. Neither the life nor prop-
erty of anybody opposing the sailors is threat-
ened by the workingmen of this port. The real
object of these armed hirelings is to intimidate
the union men and, if possible, provoke them to
riot. They also serve the purpose of keeping
men at work who gladly would go ashore and
stay there if they got the chance. So difficult
is it to get anybody that is willing to oppose
the union, that people must be shanghaied and
brought on board through misrepresentation.
Public sentiment cannot approve of such methods.
Labor News, Eureka, Cal.
PREJUDICE OF THE OREGONIAN.
The impossibility of the Oregonian to be fair
in the fight between the seamen and shipowners
is demonstrated in an editorial which appeared
in Tuesday's issue, even when as reported by the
onian's own telegraphic service, the sailors
did not fire a shot and could not because they
were without firearms. Because a bunch of cow-
ardly assassins made an assault upon the crew of
the Johan Paulsen on the night of June 12 the
Oregonian has closed its ears to reason. It is
also strange that the Oregonian will persist
in the abuse of facts. The Labor
Tress challenges the Oregonian to prove
that sailors "earn from $75 to $100 per month
and found," or anywhere near that amount with-
out "found." For the danger encountered the
sailor is paid icss than any other class of work-
men. The demand of the Sailors' Union for a
raise in wages from $45 to $50 per month is little
enough in view of the increased profits accruing
to the shipowners through advanced tonnage rates
and the higher prices of lumber. There is no ar-
gument in the Oregonian's warfare upon the
sailors in their fight for better conditions. There
was good excuse for the Sailors' Union patrol
boat to approach the National City. The crew
sent word ashore that they would like to leave
the vessel, and the officers of the ship refused to
give them boats. The business of the patrol boat
was to take these men ashore if they wanted to
go. Unwarned they were fired upon, one man
killed and several wounded. That crime was as
great as the assault upon the Johan Paulsen on
the night of June 12, yet the Oregonian assails
the one and condones the other. Parallel these
two incidents of crime and there is but one con-
c'.usion for the reader to reach, and that is that
the ( Iregonian is steeled in prejudice and viciously
inconsistent. — Portland (Or.) Labor Press.
LOCKED OUT BY ALLIANCE.
Sailors are not on strike — they are locked out.
and not by their employers, but by the Citizens'
Alliance. That organization has taken advantage
of the dire necessities of thousands of men in
San Francisco — not sailors — to refuse the request
of the latter for an increase in wages of $5 per
month. The Alliance's un-American scheme may
seem to work for a while, but when the public
gets onto their iniquity they will get what they
have always heretofore got — repudiation. And
the repudiation this time will be forever. The
Citizens' Alliance is composed of human beings,
men who would not hesitate to draw the last
drop of blood from a working man or woman,
if by so doing they could put a few pennies in
their pockets. The great mass of the American
people are not in sympathy with such tactics.
* * *
Down on Grays Harbor there is a possibility ol
the militia being called out, on account of the
Sailors' Union lockout. But there is only a pos-
sibility, as the mayor of Aberdeen, although a
wealthy man, is a believer in organized labor
Of course, if the militia were demanded, it would
be at the behest of the shippers and other cor-
porations. Mayor Lindstrum has already told
these agencies that "the authorities of Aberdeen
are able to and will maintain order, and that it
expects the assistance of the labor unions to help
in doing so." As long as it maintains that po-
sition there will be no bloodshed over a labor
dispute. But if he permits the presence of the
militia there may be serious trouble. If there
is anything that will inflame the passions of law-
abiding citizens it is the unwarranted "butting
in" of the military authorities in civil affairs —
and union men are no exception to the rule, cither
in Seattle or Aberdeen. — Seattle (Wash.) Union
Record.
The unions of Sailors, Marine Firemen and
Marine Cooks and Stewards have requested cer-
tain slight improvements in the conditions of
labor on board the vessels owned by the Steam-
ship Association of San Francisco. The latter
body has refused to grant the request of its em-
ployes, upon the ground that it is prohibited from
doing so by the terms of its affiliation with the
United Shipping and Transportation Association
of San Francisco. The last named body, by way
of forcing the issue, has locked out all the men.
including longshoremen,, employed on the ves-
sels under its control, thus causing a general
tie-up of the port.
Negotiations between the Sailors' Union of the
Pacific and the ship masters have been continued
from day to day for the past week without re-
sults. Shipping has been tied up and the trade
is affected along the entire Pacific Coast. Both
sides are coming in for their share of criticism
in view of the fact that the lumber industry is

CAPE COD TO BUZZARD'S BAY.
It is currently reported that the proposed
$12,000,000 canal from Cape Cod to Buz-
zard's Bay is to be financed by the Belmont
Syndicate, of New York, and Lee Higginson
and Co., of Boston, and that William Bar-
clay Parsons, the man who built the New
York subway has been engaged to superin-
tend the construction of the big waterway.
After months of conference the railroads af-
fected by the canal have been won over to
the .project, and have withdrawn their oppo-
sition. Preparations for the commencement
of actual work will be rushed, and it is be-
lieved that within a few months the first
steps will have been taken !r the construc-
tion of the work.
Contrary to the general impression, the
lock system will not be used. The canal
will be built on the sea-level plan. In spite
of the many objections which are advanced,
Mr. Parsons is firmly of the opinion that this
will in the end prove to b* the most satis-
factory method.
Twelve miles of dredging will be neces-
sary. The land length of the canal is some-
thing over eight miles, and in addition to
this distance nearly four miles of dredging
for a proper channel in Buzzard's Bay will
have to be undertaken. The approach of
the canal at the Buzzard's Bay end will be
250 feet wide at the bottom. The main sec-
tion of the canal will have a uniform width
of 100 feet at the bottom.
The building of this canal has been dis-
cussed in the Massachusetts Legislature for
a great many years, and some years ago ac-
tual work was commenced. Several dig-
gers were put to work, but all they accom-
plished was to dig a hole for themselves
where they are peacefully at rest to-day, like
a great deal of the French machinery in the
Panama Canal.
It was proposed at one time to build the
canal from Naragansett Bay right up to
Boston. This would have meant a great deal
more saving in time than the present propo-
sition, although as now proposed it will
mean the saving of about 100 miles or more,
by obviating the necessity of going over the
Nantucket Shoals and around Cape Cod.
A good many of the old coasting shipmas-
ters are unable to see any benefit in the canal
for the sailing vessel, as they claim that they
can go around the Cape in the summer just
as well as not, and that in the winter the
canal will be filled with ice. Plowever, there
is hardly a doubt that the canal will benefit
steamers and barges.
It is only a short while ago that Secretary
Shaw ordered the closing of the Marine Hos-
pital at Vineyard Haven. This hospital is a
most important one, as it is located in Vine-
yard Haven, at the western end of the Nan
tucket Shoals, where ninety per cent of the
coastwise shipping passes.
On June 19th, however, Secretary Shaw
revoked his order, and the hospital will re-
main open for a while longer.
VOYAGE OF THE ROPES.
PILOTS AND SALVAGE.
Under jury rig from Kobe, Japan, to New
York harbor, the noted American clipper
ship A. G. Ropes arrived at the latter port
on May 22, completing successfully what
was the first attempt in the chronicles of the
American merchant marine to take the dis-
mantled hull of a great full-rigged ship
across two seas.
The voyage began last December, follow-
ing a typhoon experience last summer near
Hong Kong, when practically everything
above the ship's decks went overboard.
The course of the A. G. Ropes from the
moment that storm struck her until her ar-
rival at New York has been filled with ad-
venture and with striking demonstrations of
American enterprise displayed by her mas-
ter. Captain Rivers.
Previous to this accident the time of the
A. G. Ropes, built in Bath, Me., was posted
in Hong Kong, New York, San Francisco,
Liverpool and Shanghai for speed records in
races half-way around the world.
For four days after the typhoon the ship
drifted, her crew in despair and the Ameri-
can skipper never once below decks.
When at the end of these days of suspense
a German steamer appeared and offered for
$3000 to tow the A. G. Ropes to Port, Cap-
tain Rivers promptly refused, although his
report states that "It was some temptation
to accept."
He held out against exorbitant offers for
towing until his ship was taken into port
by a steamer for $500. This was not paid,
however, until he had sailed for five days
more with a sail rigged on the stump of the
foremast.
At Kobe the ship was sold at auction to
Lewis Luckenback of New York, and the
nearly six months' voyage home under a
makeshift rigging began.
The A. G. Ropes was built in 1884, is 250
feet long and 2460 tons gross register.
A marine torch, or signal light, that bursts
into a brilliant flame the instant it touches
water, is a recent invention. These signal
lights can be used in many ways. One meth-
od is to attach one to a life-buoy ; the moment
the life-preserver strikes the water the light
gives out a bright flame, showing its location
not only to the person overboard, but mark-
ing the spot for the crew, who put back in
a small boat. As the average passenger steam-
er cannot be stopped in much less than a mile
when under full headway, the importance of
the light in finding the spot is evident. The
signal burns with 300 candlepower for a full
hour. These lights arc already in use in the
United States Navy.
Another type is the projectile which is fired
from a gun and will carry as far as an ordi-
nary shell will go. These lights can be set
to burn as they leave the gun, or not until
they strike the water, where they will float and
burn from one to two hours.
Wholesale desertions are threatened by
the crews of the steam pilot boat New York
and New Jersey because the Pilots' Asso-
ciation lias caused the sailormen and others
of the crews of the two boats to sign papers
waiving all personal claims to salvage for
any distressed craft which they pick up in
future.
On the heels of this comes announcement
that the tugboat owners and masters are to
renew their fight against the pilots in re-
taliation for the latter invading the former's
territory by towing derelict vessels in and
otherwise engaging in the wrecking busi-
ness.
Within the past few months the steam
pilot boats stationed at the entrance to
Sandy Hook have managed to find two prof-
itable marine prizes which they promptly
towed in. These were the Sokoto and the
Annie R. Lewis. Under the then existing
arrangements the crew of each pilot boat
came in for a share of the salvage award, the
nature of which is still to be determined by
the Admiralty courts.
In addition to the score or more of licensed
pilots on each boat there is a working crew
of sailors, engineers, firemen, oilers, cooks
and stewards. All the members of the crew
have been deprived of the privilege of get-
ting reward for the future wrecking jobs
of the boats, and it is this clause in the new
agreement which has made the men reach a
point bordering on mutiny.
Members of certain wrecking companies
and prominent officers of the Tugboatmen's
Association has held a meeting within the
last few clays to discuss a plan of action
against the pilots. It has been suggested
that the tugboatmen use their efforts to have
a law passed abolishing compulsory pilotage,
the purpose being a direct slap at the pilots
for their alleged interference in towing and
other work.
A few years ago the pilots regarded tow-
ing and wrecking as foreign to their line of
work. The tugboat owners want the pilots
to go back to first principles. Otherwise
they threaten all sorts of things.
The schooner Clara E. Rogers went to
pieces on the rocks off the Massachusetts
coast recently after colliding with an un-
known steamer.
The greatest danger that attends naviga-
tion on the high seas is from derelicts. These
submerged hulks, weighing thousands of tons
each, are scarcely discernible by day, while at
night it is practically impossible to pick them
up even with a powerful searchlight.
For years navigators have urged upon the
leading maritime nations to undertake the de-
struction of these wrecks, but it has remained
for this country to lake any action. A dere-
lict-destroyer is now being built at a cost ot
$250,000, which will be in charge of the
Revenue-Cutter service. With wireless tele-
graph to report a wreck, il will now be pos-
sible to locate and destroy it. Dynamite will
be used to blow the old hulls to fragments,
a specially trained crew of dynamite experts
being detailed for this work. Other countries
will doubtless now take similar action. Sea-
men declare that the derelict is the explana-
tion of many of the mysterious disappearances
of ships which have never been heard from
after leaving port.

At 1 o'clock on the afternoon of June 27 the Oc-
cidental and Oriental liner Coptic left her slip at
First and Brannan streets, San Francisco, for the
Orient, on her last trip from the latter port. She
was given a farewell salute by various steamers
in the Bay. The Coptic carried no freight, and
only a few cabin passengers, and in her steer-
age quarters had only three Japanese and forty-
two Chinese.
Captain Thomas Dowdell of the Oceanic liner

having a length of 237.5 feet, breadth of 39-6 feet
and depth of 17.2 feet. The keel was laid on Janu-

The Sundry Civil bill as finally passed by Con-
gress contains items for a lighthouse tender for
the Twelfth district, and lighthouse improve-
ments at Cape Mendocino, Point Arena, Bonita
Point, Point Pinos and Humboldt Bay. The light
for Southampton Shoals was stricken from the
bill. The appropriation for gauging streams un-
der the geological survey was cut to $150,000,
and an item of $14,555 was inserted for reproduc-
ing plats of surveys in California lost in San
Francisco.
It is reported that Captain W. W. Greene, of the
Japanese liner Hongkong Maru, was taken seri-
ously ill upon arriving at Nagasaki, a few days
ago, and that the steamer was placed in charge
of the first mate, W. C. T. Filmer, Captain Greene
having been taken ashore. It is probable that
the liner will be brought to San Francisco on
the next trip by Captain W. C. Tilmer, who was
formerly commander of the steamer, but who
has been on the waiting list of the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha for some months past.
The British steamer Dumbarton is at last re-
ported to be safe in the harbor of Otaru, Japan.
The Dumbarton, owned by the Barneson-Hib-
berd Company, of San Francisco, left the latter
port on September 25, and subsequently went
ashore and was frozen in the ice of the Gulf of
Tartary, north of Castries' Bay, on the Siberian
Coast. Now news comes that the Dumbarton was
saved from possible destruction by the steamer
City of Bennington, which accompanied her to
Nagasaki for repairs. It is reported that 2,000.
tons of the Dumbarton's cargo of general mer-
chandise has been saved.
The steam schooner Harold Dollar is bound
from San Francisco for Herschel Island, with
coal and provisions for the whalers who have
been imprisoned in the Arctic since last October.
The cargo of the Dollar is the contribution of
the various owners of the whaling vessels. Cap-
tain Milton Thwing is in command of the Harold
Dollar on the long trip to Herschel Island, and
says he will arrive there about August I. All
the steam whalers are believed to have run out
of" provisions, and will be unable to get away
for the season's cruise until the supplies carried
by the Harold Dollar reach them.
The Slade Lumber Company, of Washington,
has purchased the business of the Oahu Lumber
Company, at Honolulu, T. H., and in connection
with the purchase there are reports that the
Washington concern intends to enter the local
field and will send lumber to the islands in log-
rafts, to be sawed at a mill which may be estab-
lished at Honolulu. The announcement that such
plans were being considered has led to objections
by some shipping interests to the plan of logging,
it being claimed that the log-rafts constitute a
menace to navigation, and that if some of the
logs should get loose in a storm during the tow
from the coast they would be a very serious men-
ace to vessels.
The yacht La Paloma, the Hawaiian entry in
the transpacific yacht race, arrived at Honolulu, T.
H., on June 27. She was erroneously reported the
previous night as having been sighted, and some
members of the reception committee and other
yachtsmen were at sea for hours, without finding
her. La Paloma sailed a distance of 2,447 miles.
Owing, it is believed, to some defect in her chro-
nometer, she missed the island on the 26th, when
she should have arirved. Had she done so she
would have won second place, as she had a large
time allowance. After the second day at sea the
crew was kept almost constantly at work bailing
out the little vessel, attempts to use the pumps
proving futile. The cabin was flooded most of
the time. The small size of _the yacht made the
trip one of considerable hazard. The time of the
competing yachts was as folcws: Lurlinc, 12
days 7 hours 30 minutes; Anemone, 14 days 50
minutes; La Paloma, 15 days, 11 hours 20 min-
utes.

The total of births in England and Wales
during 1905 was 929,457, a rate of 27.2 per
thousand, which is 0.7 per thousand lower than
the rate for 1904, and 1.8 lower than the rate
for the past ten years. The highest rate in the
country was recorded in two districts in Gla-
morgan County, 37.5 in the Rhondda district
and 38.3 in Methryr Tydfil. The population
in these districts is almost purely Celtic, the
elements being Welsh and Irish. In England
the highest birth rate occurs in the poorer
districts in the large cities.
The number of deaths in England and Wales
during the year was 519,939, an average of
15.2 per thousand. For this low rate the de-
creasing birth rate is partly responsible, as the
death rate was very high in those centers
where the birth rate was high. Rhondda led,
with an average of 200 per thousand among
infants under one year; Hanley came next,
with 195 per thousand ; and Merthyr Tydfil
third, with 193 per thousand. The average
infantile mortality was, however, only 128 per
thousand, a decrease of 17 since 1904, which
is a most creditable showing, so far as it goes.
The high death rate in Wales is due largely to
improper feeding and unwholesome surround-
ings, due to overcrowding and unsanitary con-
ditions. It has been proposed, as a measure
to secure the co-operation of parents with the
health authorities in an effort to save the in-
fants, to offer 1 guinea each for every infant
reared until it is one year of age, after which
the death rate falls rapidly.
The natural increase in England and Wales
per thousand is 12, but Merthyr Tydfil, which
had a death rate of 22.1, the highest in the
island, showed a natural increase of 16.2,
which indicates that the virility of the people
is still unimpared. Great attention is now de-
voted to housing, and the rate of infantile
mortality will no doubt be lowered in the years
to come.
The number of marriages in England and
Wales during 1905 was 260,489, a slight in-
crease over the record for 1904.
The money spent by the Russian treasury
in the two years of the Russo-Japanese war is
calculated by the Militar-Wochcnblatt, the or-
gan of the general staff of the German army,
as 1,677,000,000 rubles ($855,270,000). This
does not include the expenses which follow
the war, viz., the support and return of
Russian troops and of Japanese prisoners,
which cost 405,375,775 rubles ($206,741,644).
To these-two sume is to he added the loss in
ships, besides transports and other auxiliaries,
which includes fourteen ships of the line, three
armored coast defenders, two armored gun-
boats, four armored cruisers, six protected
cruisers, seven unprotected cruisers, and 34
minor vessels, including torpedo-boats, which
were valued at 260,000,000 rubles $132,600,-
000), making a grand total of $1,194,611,644.
According to the same authority, the actual
expenses of the war to the Japanese mny be
set at $3,155,114,085, hut this does not include
the loss of war-ships, of which no public es-
timate has been published.

TACTICS OF THE ASSOCIATION.
The tactics of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association in its crusade
against the seamen's unions afford the clearest
possible proof of the character of that body
and disclose the real motive that inspires its
present attitude.
The refusal of the seamen's unions to sail
for less than the wages determined upon, after
four months of patient negotiation, was imme-
diately followed by a lockout of all men em-
ployed on the Association vessels. Thousands
of men in no way affected by the dispute were
victimized and their families submitted to hard-
ships in addition to that already suffered as a
result of the earthquake and fire, for no other
reason, so far as has been made public, than
that of anticipating a strike on the part of the
latter. The real motive of the Association for
this step was to divide the forces of organized
labor and to prejudice the public against the
seamen. This object, although successful for
the moment, was quickly frustrated by the
withdrawal of the seamen's unions from the
City Front Federation, thus freeing the latter
from all connection with the seamen's strike,
and at the same time destroying the gauzy pre-
text of the Association for its unscrupulous
action.
Another example of Association tactics is
seen in its action to compel the independent
shipowners to join hands with it against the
seamen. A number of steam-schooners the
owners of which were willingly paying the
wages asked by the seamen, have been forced
to discharge their union crews and go out of
commission, under threats of being refused
cargoes. All in the name of the sacred right
to "run one's own business," of course!
The United Shipping and Transportation
Association, true to the methods and man
of its prototype and ally, the Citizens' Alli-
ance, is "fighting the devil with fire." That is
to say, the Association proposes to relieve the
shipowners from the "despotism of the unions"
by establishing a despotism of its own! Pos-
sibly the shipowner may enjoy the change
from frying-pan to fire, but we doubt it. At
any rate, the public is not likely to tolerate
the inconvenience imposed upon it any more
patiently because the boycott placed upon the
independent ship-owner is inspired by an or-
ganization of fellow-shipowners rather than by
a mere labor organization.
The Association has by no means exhausted
its resources of force and intimidation. It
is prepared to go to further lengths in the
direction of tying up shipping, if such be neces-
sary to accomplish its object. It is at this
moment, and has been for some time past, en-
gaged in an effort to secure the support of the
sailing-ship owners. The latter have been
urged to discharge their union ciews and
"run their own business" — at the dictates of
the Association and Alliance. The tactics of
these joint conspirators involve nothing less
than the complete paralysis of the shipping
of San Francisco. If, when that is accom-
plished, further steps be necessary, the Asso-
ciation and Alliance are doubtless prepared to
tie up the shipping of the whole Coast. In-
deed, it may safely be said that the Associa-
tion and Alliance will stop at nothing to ac-
complish the object of their existence, namely,
the establishing of the "Open Shop" and the
consequent destruction of trade-unionism.
Many other things, several of which ' are
quite important in themselves, may be estab-
lished and destroyed in the course of the ex-
isting struggle, even although the Association
be not entirely successful in its object. A dis-
position greater than any ever dreamed of by
the rankest labor agitator may be established.
Again, the power of labor to protect itself
may be largely destroyed and industrial con-
ditions be thereby subjected to greed on the
one hand and passion on the other, between
which elements, as between the upper and
nether millstones, all considerations of public
welfare may be ground to dust.
What care the Association and Alliance ! In
the calculations of these bodies no remedy,
however, desperate, can possibly be worse than
the disease of "trade-union despotism." The
Association and Alliance propose to establish
a despotism immeasurably more galling than
any ever conceived or practiced by a trade-
union, but it will be their own despotism, not
that of a trade-union ! Those shipowners and
other employers who are disposed to judge the
proposals of the Association and Alliance upon
their merits, rather than upon consideration of
their origin, will pay their money and take
their choice — if any choice be left them.
THE PRESS OX ARBITRATK 'X.
The press of San Francisco has been out-
spoken in its demand for arbitration of the dis-
pute between seamen and shipowners. For
this the press is to be commended. Now that
the question of arbitration has been disposed
of by the point-blank declaration of the United
Shipping and Transportation Association that
there is "nothingto arbitrate" it is to be hoped
that the press will be equally outspoken in con-
demnation of that party responsible for the con-
tinuance of the dispute. The seamen's unions
have agreed to go into artibration and to abide
by the the result Tin- Assocation has refused
to arbitrate. The press can have absolutely no
difficulty in identifying the party at fault.
The whole principle of arbitration is at stake
in the present dispute. The labor movement
is committed to that principle and endeavors
at all times to put it into effect. The employ-
ing class, too, professes faith in arbitration.
Tn fact, everybody seems to favor that method
of adjusting disputes between labor and cap-
ital. If, after all that has been said on the
subject in the present instance, the party re-
sponsible for the failure to get together in a
reasonable effort to settle the points in issue,
shall escape its due meed of condemnation, the
appeal to arbitrate will in future carry no
weight with either side and least of all with
the side that is wrong, since that is the side
that is usually least willing to submit its case
to the public.
Thus far the press of San Francisco has be-
stowed its criticism equally upon seamen and
shipowners; indeed, it has given the latter
somewhat the better of its comments. This
was proper enough and natural enough, un-
der the circumstances. Just as it would have
been improper on the part of the press to de-
clare for either side while urging both sides
to submit to trial, it is now improper on the
part of that institution to remain silent upon
the merits of the case. Still less can the press
take the position that the needs of the public
are superior to the rights of either side. It
is very easy to dilate upon the inconvenience
caused by the tie-up of shipping and to insist
that condition shall cease forthwith. Such a
course would be popular by reason of its ap-
peal to the public as the "injured innocent"
in the case. That course is apt to be effective,
too, for the reason that the seamen, being
most closely associated with the public — that
is, most get-at-able by the public — would be
most affected by public opinion. The cry, "Let
us have lumber at any cost," if adopted by the
press and echoed by the public, would simply
mean that in the final test justice stands no
show with "public convenience."
It will not do to cite the conditions now
existing in San Francisco as justification for
the cry of "lumber at any cost." These condi-
tions do not constitute a public emergency, in
the proper sense of that term. Whenever a
public emergency exists neither the seamen's
unions nor any other similar body need be
urged to their duty; that duty will be done
before the press or public realizes its exist-
ence. The conditions now existing in San
Francisco, as regards the tie-up of commerce,
are simply these: Certain classes of seamen,
not alone of San Francisco, but of the whole
Coast, have asked for an increase of wages.
The shipowners affected by this request, al-
though notified five months ago, have taken
advantage of the recent earthquake and fire to
justify their refusal to concede the seamen's
request and, under cover of that assumed jus-
tification, have inaugurated a campaign, the
real, and in fact avowed, purpose of which is
the destruction of the unions immediately in-
volved.
These are the real conditions which the press
and public must recognize in its treatment of
the shipowners' refusal to arbitrate. To say
that, notwithstanding these conditions, the
public must have "lumber at any cost" is to
say simply a good deal more than is said. It
is to imply that any body of employers may
be assured of public support if only it can
pinch the public to the point of squealing. It
is to imply, too, that henceforth the trade-union
is at the mercy of the sympathetic tie-up or
lockout. Of course, labor will not remain si-
lent under such implication; it will be beard
from further and possibly at a fitter time.
The attempt of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association to destroy the sea-
men's unions is foredoomed to failure. These
organizations thrive on destruction of the sort
administered by the Association. The Asso-
ciation is defeated at the outset.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
The editor of the Journal acknowledges
with thanks the receipt of the Mariners'
Pocketbook, a handy reference work for
navigators, yachtsmen and seamen of all
classes. The Pocketbook is the production
of Lieutenant Ernest K. Roden, principal
of the. navigation department of the Interna-
tional Correspondence Schools, of Scranton,.
Pa. As its name indicates, the work is in-
tended for the everyday, practical use of
all classes engaged in the navigation or
handling of vessels. The Pocketbook con-
tains over 300 pages of information upon
almost every conceivable question of inter-
est to seamen in every branch of the busi-
ness. It is handsomely bound in leather,
clearly printed, well indexed and fully illus-
trated. We commend the Mariners' Pocket-
book to all seamen who desire to perfect
themselves in the study of their profession,
or who, having already done so, feel the
need of a means of "freshening the nip" oc-
casionally.
The United Shipping and Transportation
Association, in its reply to Mayor Schmitz, re-
jecting the latter's request for arbitration with
the seamen, bases its refusal to arbitrate upon
the alleged ground that the seamen affected
are already better paid than their fellows in
other parts of the world. If this comparison
is meant to be relative, it is false ; if it is meant
to be relative, it is no more than might be said
of any other class of labor in these parts. As a
matter of fact, the wages of seamen in the class
of vessels affected by the strike are, relatively
to the cost of living and amount of work re-
quired, lower than those paid in many other
localities of the world. As a further matter
of fact, the seamen's wages, relatively to the
present standard of wages and cost of living
among land workers on the Pacific Coast, are
lower than they were ten years ago. These
are facts which an arbitrator would take into
consideration. Which is precisely why the As-
sociation insists there is "nothing to arbitrate."
The "Comment of the Press" published in
the Journal from week to week, shows clearly
■that the seamen have the sympathy of the la-
bor movement throughout the Coast. Our con-
temporaries understand the situation, and are
therefore outspoken in their condemnation of
the attack upon the seamen's unions. A word
or two from such sources counts for more than
columns of daily press generalization on the
subject of nothing at all.
"Young Americans" desirous of "seeing the
world" are advised to take a street-car. ^ They
may go further and fare worse, especially if
they permit themselves to be trapped into go-
ing on board a steam-schooner bound for
China.
We are in receipt of the American Marine
Engineer, published monthly at Chicago by
the National Marine Engineers' Beneficial
Association. The Marine Engineer, now in
its sixth month of publication, is a
substantial paper containing a large
amount of matter, technical and gen-
eral, accompanied by numerous illustra-
tions. Our new contemporary in the
field of maritime journalism seems des-
tined to fill a much-needed requirement
on the part of the engine room force.
The Journal wishes the Marine Engineer
a long life of usefulness and prosperity.
The opponents of the seamen are indulging
the ancient practice of "divide and conquer."
On the one hand the sailors are told that they
can get what they are fighting for if they will
but "drop the cooks." On the other hand, the
firemen are assured that everything will be all
right if they will break away from the cooks
and sailors. It's an old game. The sailors,
firemen and cooks are old fish, however ; too
old to be caught by such transparent baits. The
men in question are "all in one boat," literally
as well as figuratively, and they are determined
to sink or swim together. Try some other
trick, gentlemen.
The ten days' grace recently offered by Man-
ager Pearce of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, has expired, and all the locked-out
employes of that concern, including the "good
fellows," are still "in the wet." If bluffs were
clubs or guns, they might be more effective in
the hands of Mr. Pearce. That individual,
by his declaration for the "Open Shop," has
simply given away the real object of the As-
sociation's attack on the seamen's unions. Man-
ager Pearce has his uses after all.
The cold-blooded murder of Comrade An-
drew Kelner by a gun-fighter hired and armed
for that purpose is an evidence of the lengths
to which the Association is prepared to go in
its insane and' futile campaign against the sea-
men's unions. What shall be said of a cam-
paign which depends for its success upon such
methods ? And what shall be said of the gen-
tlemen— the very respectable not to say pa-
triotic gentlemen — who are responsible for
these methods ?
Even admitting that the increased wages
demanded by the seamen's unions must be
charged to the consumer, the amount per
capita would be so small as to be imper-
ceptible to the naked eye. Yet, to save that
cost, the shipowners have attempted to tie
up shipping so that consumers can not pro-
cure commodities at any price !
The United Shipping and Transportation
Association insists that the present is an
"inopportune" time to make a demand for
increased wages. Presumably we must
wait until the Association notifies us that
the time is "opportune." Which simply
means that the time will never be "oppor-
tune."
Demand the union label on all products!
As things now stand, the day is not far
distant when the labor movement and the pub-
lic generally of San Francisco will have
cause to compliment the seamen's unions
upon their courage in withstanding the
"gouging" tendencies of the local employing
class.
The United Shipping and Transportation
Association denies its affiliation with the Citi-
zens' Alliance. The Association had better
watch out or the Journal will publish the docu-
ments. Come to think of it, we shall probably
print the documents anyway.

(Contributed by the Lake Seamen's Unions.)
K^^rf
TO COMPEL TOWAGE.
SMALLEST PACKAGE FREIGHTERS.
( >wing to the number of accidents which
have occurred in the streams tributary to the
various Lakes since the opening of naviga-
tion, it is understood that the United States
officials have under consideration a rule to
compel the larger boats to use tugs in the
various harbors around the Lakes. One Gov-
ernment engineer lias made the assertion that
lie has made a recommendation of that char-
acter to the chief of engineers at Washington,
and other engineers have the project under
consideration.
Many of the smaller boats have not been
using tugs for the past two or three years.
Larger boats which could get along without
the use of tugs, have been trying to do so
where the harbor conditions arc at all favor-
able. It is now said by the Government en-
gineers that most of the disasters in the vari-
ous rivers have been occasioned by the big
boats trying to run without tugs. Government
engineers have the supervision of all such
channels, and are empowered to make recom-
mendations governing the action of. the boats.
It is on the theory that boats going aground,
and meeting disasters in the rivers, blocking
navigation, that the Government engineers are
disposed to have a rule issued, compelling the
larger steamers to use one or more tugs in
streams tributary to the various Lakes.
TONNAGE AND APPROPRIATIONS.
Major Judson, Government engineer at Mil-
waukee, has prepared a tabic showing the
registered tonnage of the five leading ports on
the Great Lakes and also showing the ap-
propriations up to the present year, which have
been made for these five harbors, together
with the estimates of the sums necessary to
complete improvements. The tables are as fol-
lows :
Total registered tonnage, 1905:
Buffalo $11,574,171
Chicago and South Chicago 14,783,619
Cleveland 10,538,320
Duluth 14,506,408
Superior and West Superior 9,108,330
Milwaukee .. 12,901,196
Harbor appropriations to 1906:
1 Buffalo $6,1 12,492
Chicago and South Chicago 5,665,350
Cleveland 5.023,575
Duluth 5,149,403
Milwaukee 1,868,124
Estimate to complete harbors:
Buffalo $317,643
Chicago and South Chicago 792,440
1 )uluth 300,000
( kvrland : . . . 3,207,356
Milwaukee 218,581
The hard coal receipts in Milwaukee up to
,1 recent date were approximately 60,000 tons
short of the normal receipts for Milwaukee
up to the same period in average years. This
shortage was nearly all made during the
month of May, when very little hard coal
was received. Unless the trust in the East
lets go of more coal than it is at present
doing. Milwaukee dealers will be consider-
ablv short of normal supplies at the close of
the season of navigation.
The package freighter Ogdensburg, which
was built at the Cleveland yard of the Ameri-
can Shipbuilding Company, was recently
turned over to her owners, the Rutland Tran-
sit Company. The Ogdensburg is the first of
two package freight boats built by the Ameri-
can Shipbuilding Company for the Rutland
Transit Company to go into commission. The
second boat, Rutland, was launched three
weeks previously, and will be in commission
in a few weeks. These boats are sister ships,
and are built Welland Canal size, being 256
feet long.
The < Ogdensburg is the smallest package
freight steamer built on the Great Lakes in a
number of years. Vesselmen in general pro-
nounce her the pretiest boat ever turned out of
the local yard, and her owners are exception-
ally proud of her. She has a graceful sheer,
and her lines fore and aft are especially fine.
The interior of her cabins is finished through-
out in natural oak, with the exception of the
parlor in the passenger cabin, which is in
cherry. Considering the size of the boat, her
passenger accommodations are exceptionally
fine. Each suite consists of three rooms, in-
cluding parlor, bedroom and bath. These
rooms are luxuriously furnished, and are com-
plete in every detail.
The Ogdensburg will be sailed by Captain
W. II. Williams, ex-Superintendent of the
Rutland line. Lorenzo Willix will be in
charge of her engines.
LIGHTHOUSE DELAYED.
The United States Senate, having passed
the $100,000 appropriation for a new light-
house on the Milwaukee breakwater pier, no
difficulty is apprehended in securing favorable
concurrence in the House of Representatives.
Major W. V. Judson, the United States en-
gineer in charge of the Milwaukee District, de-
clares, however, that active work tending to
the erection of the building, the tenative plans
for which already have been drawn, will not
be undertaken until disposition has been made
of Congressman Otjen's bill, recently intro-
duced in Congress, for the extension of the
breakwater pier to a line almost parallel with
the harbor entrance pier. Action on the pas-
sage of this bill undoubtedly will be deferred
until the next sesion of Congress, which will
be convened in December. It would be bad
policy, says Major Judson, to construct so
large and ornamental a building as the plans
for the new lighthouse specify, and then be
obliged in a year or two to remove it to another
point in the harbor. The specifications of the
structure designate a solid cement superstruc-
ture, extending sixteen feet above the water
line. The lighthouse must of necessity stand
at the head of the breakwater and should the
present harbor protection be extended the light-
house, of course, will go along.
The Canadian steamer Erin, which was cut
in two and sunk in the St. Clair River in col-
lision with the steamer John B. Cowle, will
be raised and taken to the Toledo Shipbuild-
ing Company's plant for repairs. As yet
nothing has been done toward raising the
steamer or to try to recover the bodies sup-
posed to be imprisoned in the sunken boat.
MORE NEW TONNAGE.
James C. Wallace, President of the Ameri-
can Shipbuilding Company, has closed a con-
tract with Superior and Marquette parties for
a freight steamer for 1907 delivery. The new
boat, which will cost $290,000, will be a dupli-
cate of the steamers William G. Pollock and
Joshua Rhodes, which the American Ship-
building Company is building for W. H.
Becker, of Cleveland.
She will be 440 feet over all, 420 feet keel,
52 feet beam and 28 feet deep. She will have
triple expansion engines with cylinders 22, 33
and 58 inches, with 42-inch stroke. Steam will
be furnished by two Scotch boilers, 13 feet 2
inches in diameter and II 1-2 feet long. The
boilers, which will be allowed 175 pounds pres-
sure, will be fitted with the Ellis & Eaves
draft.
Captain D. Sullivan, of Chicago, some time
ago, ordered two steamers of this class. They
will come out next season. The three big
steamers for the Western Transit Company
will be built at Lorain and South Chicago, but
the officials of the Shipbuilding Company have
not decided where the keels for the other
boats that have been ordered for next year's
delivery will be laid.
The American Shipbuilding Company has
contracts for nine freight steamers and one
passenger steamer to come out next season.
TWO NEW FREIGHTERS.
The American Shipbuilding Company re-
cently closed contracts for two more freighters,
making six orders for steamers that the Com-
pany has booked iri a little more than a week.
The last orders were placed by the Gilchrist
Transportation Company, of Cleveland (O.),
and the new ships will be the largest in that
big fleet. The deal was closed by President
Wallace and J. C. Gilchrist, who is President
of the transportation company.
The boats, which will cost $370,000 each,
will come out at the opening of navigation next
Spring. They will be six feet longer than the
steamers John Sherwin and J. 1'.. Wood of the
Gilchrist ileet, which were turned out at the
Bay City plant of the American Shipbuilding
Company this season.
The steamers will be 540 feet over all, 520
feet keel, 54 feet beam, and 31 feet deep. They
will have triple expansion engines with cylin-
ders 22 1-2, 36 and 60 inches, with 42-inch
stroke. The boilers will be of the Scotch
type, 13 feet 9 inches in diameter and 11 1-2
feet long. The boilers, which will be fitted
with the Ellis & Eaves draft, will be all round
180 pounds pressure. Each of the steamers
will have a carrying capacity of 9,500 tons.
The new boats will be of arch construction,
and a number of changes from the steamers
Sherwan and Wood will be made. They will
have 24-foot center hatches, but the hatches
will be 12 feet wide instead of 9 feet, and they
will have steel hatch covers. The waterbot-
toms of the new steamers will be 6 feet deep
which is a foot deeper than the watcrbottoms
of the latest steamers built by the Gilchrist
Company.
The officials of the Shipbuilding Company
have not decided where the last six
that were ordered will be built.

MARINE NOTES.
Another Cleveland Cliffs Company boat
was launched at the Ecorse yards of the
Great Lakes Engineering Company, June 26.
Captain William McElroy, aged twenty-
eight, master of the Steel Trust steamer W.
P. Palmer, is said to be the youngest master
of a steel freighter on the Lakes.
The steamer which G. A. Tomlinson of
Duluth recently purchased from the Toledo
Shipbuilding Company, is about one-third in
frame. She will come out in September.
Captain C. A. Anderson, of the steamer
Centurian, reports passing through ten
miles of shell ice, on the course between An
Sable and Marquette on Monday, June II.
The schooner Keweenaw, lumber laden,
for Tonawanda, was waterlogged off Grand
Island in a gale on June II, but got
safely into Munising, Mich., where she sank
at the dock.
The barge Manila, wrecked last fall in
Lake Superior, has been raised and sent to
Lake Erie in tow of the steamer Bunsen.
She was steered by the tugs Boynton and
Enith to the Soo.
Bids for raising the steamer Bulgaria,
which recently ran aground on Fisherman's
Shoal and sank, have been asked. The Bul-
garia's bow is in 12 feet of water and her
stern in 24 feet.
A libel for $2500 against the steamer James
B. Colgate has been filed in the Detroit Fed-
eral courts by the administrators of the
estate of James Roberts, owner of the
schooner J. Duvall, which was sunk last No
vembcr by the Colgate.
United States Engineer Davis, of Detroit,
says that the Lake Erie Dredging Com-
pany's dump scow, sunk at Six Mile Point,
St. Mary's River, has been marked by a
red light at night and by a float with tripod
by day. The scow is so badly damaged it
has been abandoned. It is lying in twenty-
five feet of water.
The Great Lakes Dredge Company, of
Port Arthur, has five dredges at work on
Government improvements in the harbor at
Fort William, and the contract, which is on
the continuous plan, is the largest individual
dredging job on the Lakes, involving the re-
moval of about 15,000,000 cubic yards.
The Pittsburg Steamship Company's
steamer Juliet, bound down with a cargo of
iron ore, collided with a dredge in Hay Lake
on June II. The dredge was sunk, and a
hole stove in the bow of the Juliet. The
latter was beached on Six Mile Point, and
temporary repairs made. The steamer then
proceeded on her way.
It is probable that the keel of the new
steamer for the D. and C. line, to come out
early in 1907, will be laid at the Wyandotte
yards of the American Shipbuilding Com-
pany about July 25. The keel will occupy
the berth to be made vacant by the launch-
ing of the new Pickands-Moore boat, now
designed as hull No. 165.

tied up and San Francisco is badly in need of

out over the ashes of the stricken city as anv

MODERN MARINE MARVELS.
It is a far cry from the caravals of Columbus
to the latest creations of naval architecture
now building for the Cunard Steamship Com-
pany. Ltd., and the difference in types is no
less remarkable than the voyage, when the
great Italian sailor discovered America and the
trips scheduled for the new 25-knol Cunarders,
next year.
The advenl of the ships will mark the fourth
notabli Atlantic voyage of history and
when compared with the logs of the 100-ton
"Santa Maria." [492, crossing in 68 days,
;50-ton "Savanah" in 1819, 32 days and
[3,344-ton "Great Eastern" in 1858, 12
days; the four-day (or better) passage will
furnish world-wide public interest. In<
it will not be surprising to find the new rec-
ord reduced to 3 1-2 days, as it is a curious
fact that almost all vessels equipped with tur-
bine engines have greatly exceeded their con-
tract speed. This advantage had great weighi
with the British Admiralty when deciding to
adopt this type of rotary engine for the great
battleship, "Dreadnaught," now under con-
struction for his royal highness, King Ed-
ward's navy.
Leviathans so huge and so completely
equipped with all modern devices making for
economy of time and human comfort such as
unheard of speed, wireless communication
with shore during entire passage, a daily news-
paper, passenger elevators and even electric
curling irons in the lady's cabin-de-luxe, would
probably have no existence for the next ten
wars, but for the substantial assistance of his
majesty's government in loaning $10,000,000
at 2 per cent for their construction. The Cu-
nard Company in return has pledged itself to
remain a purely British undertaking for a
period of twenty years, regarding the manage-
ment, shares and ships of the company. They
further agree to adhere to reasonable rates and
refrain from preferential terms to foreigners.
The British Government will pay the company
$750, 1 per annum, and has specified Admir-
alty requirements for a heavy battery of quick-
firing guns, which can be readily mounted
should possible war conditions warrant con-
version of these swift vessels to armed com-
merce destroyers. These vessels are the re-
sult of a struggle for commercial supremacy
and are the last words that mechanical g(
naval construction and cash payments can sav
in modern marine progress. They will be the
most complex machines the mind of man has
conceived, and between mast head, trucks and
cellular bottoms, almost every art and trade is
represented. Like a dwelling, they must be
lighted and cared for, but unlike most houses,
they each will require 225 tons of paint for a
single "coat." Almost 800 officers and men
will form the crew of each vessel, and the
mechanical equipment will include an ice-mak-
ilant of 7 tons daily capacity, evaporators
producing 20,000 gallons of fresh water, .Mar-
coni wireless system, submarine telephone,
electric system for light, heat and various
operations formerly executed by hand or steam,
add innumerable other devices superior to any
yet installed on board ship; besides the four
turbine engines. Engineering rec-
ords are eclipsed in constructional details,
such as the rudders weighing 79 tons, which
will require 95 tons of molten metal in the
making. Tin- building of these liners will oc-
cupy 2 1-2 years and the total work involved
will be greater than that entailed in the de-
signing and building of a first-class battle-
ship.
The engineering problems involved in break-
ing away from old standards are more dif-
ficult of solution than those encountered in
any other branch of the profession. In the
building of bridges the strain of varying winds
' be calculated to a nicety in connection
with other computations. But in this case
is an immense structure representing a
greater area of rigid iron and steel than that
of any building firmly planted on land, which
must go at railway speed thousands of miles
through the roughest seas, tossed about, buf-
feted, and yet unscathed.
The largest ship now afloat, the Baltic,
has a length of 725 feel, j$ feet less than these
new ships and a beam of 75 feet against 88
for the new ones. But the Baltic has only 18,-
000 horsepower and makes a pace of only little
more than sixteen miles an hour. The best
speed of the German boats is only a trille over
twenty-three miles an hour.
It is one of the laws of steamship construc-
tion that the greater the speed the greater
the strain upon the structure. The great in-
crease in length, 94 feet more than the Kaiser
William II, further increases the strain to be
calculated upon. The German ship has only
^0,000 horsepower, and her displacement is
30,000 tons, against 43,000 tons for the new
Cunarders. The plated depth of the new
ships is sixty feet, the plating being carried
up one deck higher than usual as one means
of strengthening the structure longitudinally.
Where the plates la]), their thickness is three
inches. The extreme draft for 36 feet will not
be available at the port of New York until the
new channel has been completely dredged out.
But the Government has promised sufficient
depth by the time the Cunarders are ready,
t<> enable them to enter and depart, drawing
33 1-2 feet of water. There are two striking
mw departures in the construction of the hulls
of these new ships. They are the first to de-
part from the accepted standard of measure-
ment, in that they exceed in beam the pro-
portions of the Great Eastern. There is a
double bottom, of unusual depth, 5 feet 6
inches between the outer and inner shells,
which grows shallower from the curve at the
bilge keel, until it ends on a level with the
first of the eight decks. This double bottom
is the chief new means of Strengthening the
enormous hull.
The great width of the ship makes it pos-
sible to place four of the largest-sized boilers
abreast and still have room for large coal
bunkers. The great beam of the ship permits
the four propellers to be located in a novel
manner. The inner pair will be just forward
of the rudder in the usual position, and the out-
side pair forward of the inner pair. The
practicability of all these innovations in size,
structure and power has been demonstrated by

a 50- foot working model subjected to every
possible test.
But what is of especial interest to ocean
travelers, are the new features designed for
their comfort, whether steerage or first-cabin
passengers. In the first place, the height of
six full decks for the use of first-class pas-
sengers, demands the introduction of passen-
ger elevators as much as do apartment houses
and hotels of an equal number of stories. There
is an elevator shaft on each side of the ship,
connecting all the decks. As first-cabin pas-
senger staterooms are located as far down
from the library and smoking room as would
be equivalent to four stories on land, these
elevators seem to be a real necessity in the con-
struction of steamships of this size. They
eliminate all stair climbing, except from the
promenade to the boat deck.
The lowest of the eight decks, just above
the boiler rooms, will be used for carrying the
ship's stores, baggage, express matter, etc.,
above is the lower deck, devoted mainly to
third-class passengers.
Special attention has been paid to the ventila-
tion of third-class spaces, the air of which can
be completely changed every five minutes, and
heated or cooled as required. The third is
called the main deck and is given up wholly
to first-class staterooms, single and en suite,
with their accompaniment of baths, dressing
rooms, etc. Then comes the upper decks,
which contain the floor of the great dining
saloon, which is 80 feet wide and 125 feet
long and will seat 500 persons. The central
portion of the dining saloon has the height of
two full decks and is covered with a vast dome
of cathedral glass. Also on this deck are suites
of cabin de luxe.
The fifth, or shelter deck, completes the
molded portion of the vessel. Above this
are the bridge deck, the promenade deck and
the boat deck, all of which are devoted to the
accommodations of first-class passengers. On
each side of the central tiers of staterooms
they have a broad promenade, open to the
weather.
One of the most interesting features of these
monster new passenger steamships, is that they
represent the established conviction on the part
of their owners that ocean travelers of the
future will demand practically all the same
comforts and luxuries while crossing the
Atlantic which they enjoy in their own homes,
or in the best hotels.
Except in the case of a few cabins de luxe
aboard the best of existing liners, the private
and purely personal accommodations are still
cramped and difficult to endure by persons used
to plenty of elbow room. Many staterooms
have still the berths fixed to the wall, one
above another as in sleeping cars, with op-
portunities for dressing, and the toilet hardly
better than aboard a Pullman.
But on these new Cunarders, all the first-
class cabins will be 50 per cent larger than
on any other vessels. They will be fine, square
rooms, single and ensuite, with toilet conveni-
ences and bedroom furniture on a par with first-
class hotel rooms. If one is not troubled with
seasickness, he may go from his home or his
apartments, aboard one of these ships and
cross the ocean without missing any of "the
comforts of home."
The new Cunarders, which will increase the
speed standard to more than 25 knots, create
a situation in ocean traffic that has no parallel
since 1889, when the City of New York and
the City of Paris, the first twin-screw ships
to be seen in the Atlantic service, were hailed
as "ocean greyhounds." — Nick J. Quirk.
CHURCH AND WORKINGMEN.
"The hour that has witnessed the entrance
of the Labor party upon a career of decisive
political influence," laments the London
Guardian (Church of England), "has found
that party uninspired by any specially religi-
ous ideal." This fact gives peculiar timeli-
ness and interest to a new volume of assays
having the title "Christianity and the Work-
ing Class," and edited by Mr. George Haw.
The eleven essays are by English clergymen
and laymen closely engaged in the problems
of the life and religious needs of the working
class. On some points all the writers are
agreed. All, as The Guardian points out.
confess that there is a cleavage between the
beliefs and sympathies of the working man
and what lie finds or thinks in the Christian-
ity of the church ; and nearly all agree tint
the cleavage is serious and goes very deep.
Nearly all, again, admit that the working
man is repelled by the churches because of the
gap he discerns between their preaching and
their practice. Says The Guardian :
This accusation of hypocrisy turns almost al-
ways on questions of social reform or of some
outstanding inequality or injustice which the
church is believed to be able to set right. The
words of a few of the writers are very bitter and
burning on points like these; and, to cite one
instance, we can not but feel that Mr. George
Lansbury, in his frank indictment of certain blem-
ishes in current Christian practice, has much right
on his side. But altho the church's social ac-
tivity is a most important aspect of her work, it
is not the only aspect, even if it is the only thing
that seems to matter to the working man. That
is just the significance of this book and the
reason why we do well to listen and learn from
it. It is written to show us what the working
man is actually thinking about us. We may feel
as we read that he is sometimes forgetfu', and
often curiously unobservant, or prone only to ob-
serve what displeases him. That is another mat-
ter. At least he has his definite objections against
the ways of the Church of England and of other
Christian bodies, and in these essays we are told
what those objections are. They are sufficiently
serious, and from his point of view justifiable, to
explain the coldness and shyness of which all
clergy and church-/workers are distressfully con-
scious.
Yet there is a brighter side which we are also
allowed to see. With one voice all the essayists
tell us that it is against certain expressions of
Christianity, but not against Christianity itself,
that the working classes are prejudiced. The
name of Jesus Christ is had in almost universal
reverence among them; the gospel and the Ser-
mon on the Mount are admired and in a measure
believed in.
The Christian Commonwealth (Independ-
ent, London) maintains that the real lesson of
"this extraordinary new book" is that the
working classes are "turning away from the
churches straight to Christ." The book has
evoked almost as much comment in this conn
try as in England. "Are we in the first swirl
of the rapids above the Niagara whose distant
roar tends rather to lull us to sleep than to
rouse us to the possibilities and perils of the
not distant future?" asks The Christian Regis-
ter (Unitarian, Boston), which adds: "The
movement that passes from an ideal to a re-
ligion for the masses is akin to the great
forces of nature. . . . Jt is both destruc-
tive and creative." The Congregationalist
(Boston) thinks that "Christian truth and life
are suffering loss to-day from too much talk
about the church's relation to the labor prob-
lem," as though Christianity had a peculiar
mission for any particular class. The Church-
man (Protestant Episcopal, New York), says
editorially :
The problem, though differing somewhat in
its conditions, is ours also. . . . The causes
of the alienation are much the same in England
as in America. The remedy is the same every-
w]icre — a return to Christian fellowship, to a more
faithful following of our Lord
What Mr. Haw says of the attitude of the la-
boring classes is probably true of men in all
walks of life, rich and poor, employed and unem-
ployed. The vast majority of men even in Chris-
tian lands would probably say that they do not
look primarily to organized Christianity for help-
ful, self-sacrificing fellowship. The judgment may
be too sweeping, but to the extent that it has
foundation in fact, it is the most damaging that
could be made.
One of the contributors to Mr. Haw's vol-
ume is Mr. Arthur Henderson, M. P., chair-
man of the Labor Representation Committee.
He argues that the churches should seek to
destroy the great social defects of our day and
to demonstrate the "adaptability of Chris-
tianity to the complete chapter of human life."
I le says in part :
I admit freely that, primarily, the mission of the
churches is to redeem the world and bring peace
to the individual soul through surrender to Christ,
but the exclusive concern of the churches should
not be with a future state of existence. Rather
should they be concerned with this world. Their
mission should be to bring to pass here a king-
dom of righteousness and peace, and to carry re-
demption into our social relationships
Having regard to the relations between the
moral and spiritual and the social and economic
conditions, how essential it is that the churches
should ever be seeking to regulate, humanize,
and change environment for the promotion of the
common good! Recognizing the common good
as the true Christian guide in social and eco-
nomic progress, they should assist as far as prac-
ticable in creating laws and institutions, not for
the continuance of vested interests or selfish mo-
nopolies, but with an eye fixed steadily on the
promotion of the common good,
We labor men are not unmindful of the vast
amount of effort the churches are making: visit-
ing the sick, clothing the naked, feeding the hun-
gry .comforting the sorrowing. What we de-
plore is the fact that, coincident with such relief,
the churches have not attempted to get at the
root-cause of all the evil and distress. If they
would display the same amount of energy in seek-
ing to eradicate from our collective life the evil it
contains, that they have shown in seeking to de-
liver the individual life from sin, there would have
been less call for their relief work. The people
are longing as never before to be delivered from
oppressive social anomalies, and if only the
churches would bring their vast and varied ma-
chinery to operate against these evils much might
be accomplished, and the gratitude and coopera-
tion of the multitude secured.
The churches, says Mr. Haw, have ceased
to speak the language of the people, who,
meanwhile, see them "clinging to men-made
forms and men-made traditions, and quarrel-
ing over these trumpery things."
Mr. Haw himself believes that "the people
are destined to breathe a new life into the
churches," and that "the indifference of the
people to Christianity is but the reflection of
the indifference of the churches to Christian-
ity." And that, says The Churchman, seems
to be the general burden of the eleven writers
whose essays he has gathered.
Amber is supposed to be gum which ex-
uded from trees that in some former geologi-
cal age covered certain parts of the earth's sur-
face, but of which now not a vestage remains.
In corroboration of this theory, we have the
evidence of insects found imbedded in the
amber, showing every evidence of having
struggled hard to free themselves from the
sticky substance upon which they had alighted
or been driven.
The shores of the Baltic Sea are the world's
principal source of amber. Here a large num-
ber of people earn a precarious livelihood by
gathering the precious substance along the
shore. They work only in rough weather, for
it is only then that the boulders are tossed
and tumbled on the bottom and great qnanities
of submarine vegetables dislodged, hidden
among the roots and branches of which are
lumps of the precious gum. At some points
along the coast divers search the bottom of
the sea for lumps of amber hidden in seaweed
or jammed between rocks.
The largest piece ever found weighed eigh-
teen pounds, valued at $30,000. It is now in
the Royal Museum in Berlin. — Technical

The bill authorizes a loan of $22,500,000
to provide Irish laborers with cot-

The strike of French coal miners in
the Pas-de-Calais came to an end on

Work in the British woolen trades
continues good, and is better than a
year ago. Returns from firms em-
ploying 28,288 workpeople shows an
increase of 6.3 per cent in the wages
paid, compared with a year ago.
Cotton Trade workers in Great
Britain report that employment con-
tinues very good, and is better than a
year ago. Reurns from firms employ-
ing 142,408 workpeople show an in-
crease of 4.7 per cent in the wages
paid, compared with a year ago.
Returns from certain selected ports
(at which 80 per cent of the total
British tonnage in the foreign trade
is entered and cleared) show that dur-
ing April 34,868 seamen, of whom
4.363 (or 12.5 per cent) were for-
eigners, were shipped on foreign-
going vessels.
Returns relating to the state of em-
ployment in Germany during the first
quarter of 1906 were supplied to the
Imperial Statistical Office by trade-
unions with an aggregate membership
of 1,221,760. Of these 12,653, or 1.1
per cent, were described in the re-
turns as unemployed.
Employment continues good in the
chief shipbuilding centers of Great
Britain, and is considerably better
than a year ago. The percentage of
trade-union members unemployed at
the end of April was 5.1, as compared
with 5.6 per cent at the end of March
and 12.2 per cent a year ago.
There are many disputes now in
progress in France with the object of
obtaining an eight-hour day without
diminution* of the present wages. The
disputes affect nearly every branch of
industry, and are taking place in many
parts of the country. In Paris alone
nearly 100,000 men arc said to be
affected.
According to reports made to the
Belgian Labor Department, out of a
total membership of 37,884 in the 146
trade-unions which made returns, 676,
or 2.1 per cent, were out of work
toward the latter part of March.
The figures do not include particulars
relating to miners, home-workers, or
agricultural laborers.
Out of 220,316 members of 1,202
trade-unions which made returns to
the French Labor Department as to
the state of employment, 20,629, or
9.4 per cent, were out of work in
March, as compared with 1 1.5 per
cent in the previous month, and 10.9
per cent in March, 1905. These fig-
ures are exclusive of the miners'
unions in the Pas-de-Calais and Nord
departments.
Ninety-five disputes were reported
to the Italian Labor Department as
having occurred during March, as
compared with 59 in the previous
month. Out of 55 disputes which
came to an end in the month, 12 (in-
volving 2,989 workers) terminal
favor of the workers, 20 (18 of which
involved 3,176 workers) in fav>r of
the employers, while 23 (involving
8,541) workers) were compromised.
Ten cases of recourse to the law on
conciliation and arbitration were re-
ported to the French Labor Depart-
ment as having taken place in March,
the Justice of the Peace taking the
initiative in seven cases and the work-
people in three cases. In six cases
committees of conciliation were
formed, resulting in the direct or
eventual settlement of four disputes.
In the remaining four cases the em-
ployers refused to take part in any
conciliation proceedings.
Thirty new disputes began in the
British labor world in April, compared
with 20 in March, and 28 in April,
1905. The total number of workers
affected by disputes which began or
were in progress during April, 1906,
was 12,712, or 16,041 less than in
March, 1906, and 197 more than in
April, 1905. The aggregate duration
of all the disputes of the month, new
and old, amounted to 128,500 work-
ing days, or 53,300 less than in March,
1906, and 17,200 less than in April,
1905. Definite results were reported
during April in the case of 32 dis-
putes, new and old, affecting 7,397
persons. Of these 32 disputes, 13
were decided in favor of the workers,
8 in favor of the employers, and 11
were compromised.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
The Traiii Dispatchers' Association

June 21, elected P. 11. RiggS, of Mc-
I-'arland, Kans., vice-president, and
T. \\ . Kane, of Los Angeles, a mem-
ber of the executive committee.
The strike of bituminous miners in
the Michigan district, which lias been
in force since April I, came to an en 1
.m June _>.?. The wage scale for 1903
has been restored and the union ini-
tiation fee reduced from $50 to $25.
A majority of the soft coal mines
which shut down on April I in Mis
souri, Kansas, Indian Territory and
Arkansas resumed operations on June
[8 under the agreement recently
reached between the miners and
. iperati irs,
The annual convention of the In-
dustrial Steel and Copper Printers'
Union at Washington, D. C. on Jmu
23 elected Wiliain Foley, President,
and T. L. Mahan, of Washington,
Secretary-Treasurer. The next con-
vention will be held at Chicago.
Railway mail clerks are said to be
resigning in larger numbers than at
any time in the history of the service.
The cause is the heavy character of
the work and the strain .if making
lung runs after doing considerable
wnrk before starting out on the rails.
By a unanimous vote the executive
b.iard of the Western Federation of
Miners has turned down the applica-
tion of the coal-miners of Ohio and
Illinois, at'liiliated witli the United
Mine Workers of America, for admis-
si.m to the Federation, pending the
consummation of a plan for general
jHmati.in.
The troubles between the railroads
and freight handlers were practically
adjusted on June 19. The Lake Shore.
Santa Fe and Michigan Central roads
offered the men an increase of I cent
an hour, just half the increase they
demanded. It is understood that if
this is accepted by the men the other
roads will fi .11. nv suit.
A strike of motormen and conduct-
ors of the Lehigh Valley Transit Com-
pany-, at Allentown, Pa., on June 24
led to disturbances that en. led in the
Mayor ordering out the entire police
force. The strikers demand the ree.g
nition of their union and the reinstate
ment of fifteen men discharged for be-
longing to the organization.
With. nit a dissenting vote the union
textile workers of Fall River. M
..11 June 21, refused to accept the offer
the cotton manufacturers made to the
Textile Council after the latter bod)
had demanded for the operatives
wages to the scale in force prior to
July 25, 1904. The offer of the Mann
facturers' association was a guarantm
1 if a weekly dividend to each employe
of at least 5 per cent of the amount of
his wages.
Reporting to the Executive Council
regarding the strike of the agricul-
tural workers in Porto Rico, President
Gompers commended their conduct.
He declared that the Chief of Police
there had issued orders by which
meetings had been dispersed, innocent
persons unmercifully attacked and
arrested on groundless charges and
the workmen clubbed and force. 1 to
work, with the only alternative of
police brutality and imprisonment.
The case has already been taken up
with the President of the United
States, who promised to make an in-
vestigation, and the case will be taken
up again with him in the near future,
when further complaints and affidavits
will be submitted, charging continu-
ance of grievances.

It is not alone the American of the

valley of the Southern mountains, who
knows not the shriek of the locomo-

world is bounded by the red-clay
roads in his home country, likes his
little joke as well as the best farceur
of them all. Two gentlemen were
traveling in one of the hill counties of
Kentucky not long ago, hound on an
exploration for pitch pine. They had
been driving for two hours without
encountering a human being, when
they came in sight of a cabin in a
clearing. It was very still. The hogs
lay where they had fallen, the thin
claybank mule grazed 'round and
'round in a neat circle, to save the
trouble of walking, and one lean, lank
man. whose garments were the color
of the claybank mule, leaned against
a tree and let time roll by.
"Wonder if he can speak," said one
traveler to the other.
The two approached the man,
whose yellowish eyes regarded them
without apparent curiosity.
"How do you do?" said the North-
erner.
"Howdy?" remarked the South-
erner, languidly.
"Pleasant country."
"Fur them thet likes it."
"Lived here all your life?"
The Southerner spat pensively in
the dust.
"Not yit,' he said. — The Reader.

THE PROOF OF THE PLOT.
THAT the present lockout of seamen on
the Pacific Coast is not due solely, nor
even materially, to a disagreement on the
question of wages or any other condition of em-
ployment, but is inspired by a much larger ob-
ject, namely, the destruction of the seamen's
unions, has been openly asserted by the seamen
and other observers in a position to pass intel-
ligent judgment on the situation. Of course, this
assertion has been bluntly denied by the ship-
owners and tiieir allies. The denial of the truth
has one merit. It shows that those who make
denial recognize in the truth a thing to be
ashamed of.
Denials are futile in face of the proofs, and
the proofs are easily accessible. Before present-
ing the proofs, however, it may be well to briefly
outline the course of the negotiations carried on
between seamen and shipowners prior to the
lockout.
The agreement between the Steamship Asso-
ciation and the unions of Sailors, Firemen, and
Cooks and Stewards expired on January 31 of
the present year. Some time prior to that date
the representatives of these bodies met for the
purpose of arranging a renewal of the agree-
ment. The representatives of the unions pre-
sented certain proposals, which were rejected by
the Association, upon the ground that the con-
dition of the shipping business did not justify such
concessions.
The unions' proposals were then "shaved
down" to the minimum, and again presented to
the Steamship Association. The result was the
same as in the previous instance, the seamen's
representatives were informed that the shipown-
ers could not grant any increase of wages, either
large or small.
These negotiations occupied several months.
Finally, about the middle of April, the Board
of Directors of the Steamship Association in-
formed the committee representing the Sailors,
Firemen, and Cooks and Stewards that it (the
Board) was unable to sign any agreement pro-
viding for an increase of wages without first
securing the consent of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association, with which body the
Steamship Association is affiliated.
This, of course, was news to the representa-
tives of the seamen. The latter had been pro-
ceeding throughout the entire negotiations upon
the understanding that they were dealing with
a principal, with a body possessed of power and
authority to do whatever its own judgment ap-
proved of. Now the seamen were informed that
the Board of Directors of the Steamship Asso-
ciation was merely an agent whose acts were
subject to approval, or otherwise, by parties whom
they (the seamen) had never recognized and of
whose existence they had had no definite knowl-
edge.
The revelation made by the Board of Direct-
ors of the Steamship Association was a great
surprise to the seamen, but not so great a sur-
prise as was probably intended. The existence
of the United Shipping and Transportation Asso-
ciation had long been unofficially known in ship-
ping circles. The membership and purposes of
that body were also suspected, with a suspicion
amounting to certainty. In a word, all that was
known concerning the United Shipping and
Transportation Association was a matter of ru-
mor and suspicion, since that body, for
reasons best known to itself, has never, even
to this day, come into the open.
Thus the information imparted by the Steam-
ship Association to the seamen's representatives
had in a measure been anticipated. More than
that, the seamen had previously secured informa-
tion of the existence of a much larger scheme
of operations than that implied by the relations
between the Steamship Association and the
United Shipping and Transportation Association.
This information pointed to the real source of
inspiration in the unreasonable attitude of the
shipowners toward the seamen. By pure accident
the seamen had learned that the United Shipping
and Transportation Association was affiliated
with the Citizens' Alliance, that it was subject to
the control of the latter body and was, in fact,
a part and parcel of that body.
The representatives of the seamen, after re-
covering from the shock occasioned by the of-
ficial disclosure and confession of the relations
existing between the Steamship Association and
the United Shipping and Transportation Asso-
ciation, made a disclosure on their own account.
The seamen disclosed their knowledge of the pact
existing between the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association and the Citizens' Alli-
ance. The representatives of the Steamship As-
sociation persistently denied the soft impeach-
ment; they declared that the Citizens' Alliance
has no connection with or authority over the
negotiations between shipowners and seamen.
This position the Steamship Association has main-
tained throughout the entire controversy. Let
the records speak for themselves.
The seamen's authority for the charge that the
United Shipping and Transportation Association
is in collusion with the Citizens' Alliance and
is practically controlled by the latter body con-
sists in the articles of agreement of the Asso-
ciation, a verbatim et literatim copy of which
is here printed, as follows:
AGREEMENT.
Owing to trilling difference and misunderstand-
ing not necessary to mention, Stevedores, Steam-
ship Companies and Shippers of San Francisco
have not pulled together as they should in times
of strike troubles. In order to spare expense
and gain all that can come from thorough or-
ganization, it is very desirable that all get to-
gether at this time in order to enable each and
every man to secure unrestricted possession of
their business to the end that the OPFN SHOP
PRINCIPLE may sooner or later prevail.
THEREFORE, the undersigned shipping^ and
transportation interests of the city of San Fran-
cisco hereby agree to and do form an associa-
tion known as the UNITED SHIPPING AND
TRANSPORTATION ASSOCIATION OF SAN
FRANCISCO, to handle exclusively the questions
of INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS and we further
agree to name an Executive Committee from our
ranks to act with the President of the Citizens'
Alliance of San Francisco and to abide by their
joint action in the adjustment of the differences
arising between the members of the interests
above named and the various labor unions of San
Francisco, and as an evidence of our good in-
tentions we hereby deposit with the said Presi-
dent of the CITIZENS' ALLIANCE OF SAN
FRANCISCO the sum of five thousand ($5000.00)
dollars and agree that the said sum so deposited
by each of us with the said President shall be
paid by him to E. R. Diamond, Treasurer of the
Finance Committee of the Citizens' Alliance of
San Francisco for its use in the event that we
violate the rules and regulations adopted by the

GERMAN RAG INDUSTRY.
United States Consular-Clerk Leute, at
.Mannheim, makes a report on the German rag
industry, which is an interesting subject at the
present time on account of the German paper
manufacturers' complaint about the increase
in prices, owing to the heavy and unrestricted
export of rags, mainly to the United States.
Mr. Leute writes:
Among the more important industries in the
Mannheim consular district is that of rags
and cuttings. Though the number of firms
in this branch exporting to the United States
is small, their aggregate exportation is large.
The Mannheim consular district is especially
a chemical, color and leather producing one.
These articles together form about two-thirds
of the entire exports to the United States.
But of the many other articles only one is of
more importance in point of export value than
that of rags and cuttings. This export
amounts to about $350,000 annually to the
United States alone, while large quantities
are shipped to other countries, England being,
perhaps, the largest buyer among them. Dur-
ing 1905, 18,345 tons of rage left Mannheim
and 6,616 tons arrived, which shows the im-
portance of the rag industry.
The industry is carried on principally by
firms at Mannheim and Karlsruhe. Branch
factories are situated in different parts of the
state. As the labor employed is drawn mainly
from the peasant class, it is obvious that the
factory must be within easy reach of a number
of small country towns. The two largest factor-
ies are well equipped, that at Karlsruhe being
especially modern. It is a double-winged, four-
story building fitted with elevators, electric
light, electric presses, shredding machines,
and contains storerooms, the offices, dining,
locker and bath rooms for the employes, dis-
infecting room, etc. Apart from these build-
ings is another where the woolen rags are
chemically treated to decompose all vegetable
matter. The principal factory at Mannheim is
smaller but is also well equipped, having elec-
tric light, steam heating, etc. Both factories
have railway sidings in or alongside their
buildings to allow direct loading and unload-
ing from the railway cars and also have gen-
erating plants for their supply of electricity.
The number of persons employed in this
branch in this district is perhaps 1,500. Tht
sorters, who are recruited mostly from the
peasant class, are exclusively women and
girls. Local law requires them to be at least
1 5 years of age. Their work consists mainly
of suiting the rags, cuttings, string, etc. ac-
cording to color and kind, and in removing
every particle of foreign matter, such as
leather, rubber, cardboard, etc. The learners
earn about 35 cents a day. After becoming
more skilled they are put on piecework and
earn 50 to 90 cents a day. The boys are em-
in feeding the presses and their wages range
from 35 to 50 cents. The men do hauling of
the bales and earn about 75 cents to $1 a day.
Neither the labor of men nor boys is skilled,
the foreman alone being versed, as a rule, as
to quality and kind of the rags.
As sorting is not overly lucrative or re-
munerative unless the sorter works very dili-
gently, some difficulties have been experienced
of late in getting enough help among the Ger-
man girls and women. They usually prefer
working in less dustyworking in less dusty
factories and farther in town. As a result,
outside help has had to be secured. This
has come from Galicia. Upward of 100 Gali-
cian girls and women (also a few boys) have
been imported by one firm in this district and
with good results, it is claimed. These people
are secured through an employment agency in
Berlin. The importing firm must cover their
traveling expenses, board and lodging, which
are then deducted from the wages in small
installments. Only a few of these immigrants
understand German and many cannot even
read or write their mother tongue. Local law
now requires that such immigrants must each
have his or her own bed and some difficulty
has been met with in supplying adequate
lodgings.
The uses to which the rags are put after
going through the sorting, being baled, and
shipped from the factory, are varied. Old rags
from the rag picker are used for making the
cheaper grades of packing paper, etc. The
new cotton cuttings come from corset, shoe,
and doll factories, tailor shops, dressmaking
establishments, etc., and are, in part, shredded
and spun into cotton sewing thread, or, to some
extent, woven into artificial cotton cloth, and
are used, in part, for making better grades
of paper. They are sorted according to
color, rendering a special dying process in
some cases unnecessary.
Woolen rags are treated with acids to de-
compose all vegetable matter, are then
shredded, spun, and woven into cloth. This
cloth is used for the cheaper grades of dress
goods and suitings. Rope, string, bagging,
etc., are used principally for paper making,
the different kinds, as hemp, manila, flax, etc.,
being separated. A fact which seems surpris-
ing at first is to be told, on confronting a
bale of great, thick ropes, that they are used
for making cigarette paper.
The question of utilizing the waste products
has not yet been fully solved. The rubber has
almost no value commercially. The small
pieces of leather found among the cuttings
from the factories are used, to some extent
in making leather for upholstering purposes.
Until recently the dust and fuzz which falls
through the sorters' tables and that drawn out
of the sorting rooms through exhaust pipes
had to be thrown away as worthless. A process
has, however, been recently invented whereby
it can be made into roofing paper, and it is
now carefully collected. The utilization of
these waste products would seem to be a fairly
rich field for invention.
MOTOR BOATS IN ICELAND.
A remarkable feature in the Icelandic fish-
ing industry is the introduction of motor boats
for the coasting fisheries. During the last
year the number of these boats has greatly in-
creased, some being built in Iceland with im-
ported motors, besides a good many motor
boats brought from Denmark. They are mostly
used at Seydisfjord, Isafjord, and Oefjord,
some for the transport of goods. Most of the
boats are open, but some people buy them
decked for deep-sea fisheries.
Automobiles and motor boats have made
their way to Helsingfors, Finland, reports the
British consul there, who says that everything
points to the fact that in the coming season
the use of these will be greatly extended,
several agencies having been appointed in
Helsingfors and Abo.
DID CHINESE DISCOVER COMPASS?
When the steamer now building at To-
ledo Eor G. A. Tomlinson of Duluth is
launched, another one will be started for
Messrs. Smith & Wilkinson. She will he a
7500-ton vessel, about 458 feet long and 52
feet beam.
Some Asian people, perhaps the Chinese,
discovered, many centuries ago, that a kind of
iron ore possessed a very peculiar quality. We
call this ore magnetic, or, in more common
language, loadstone, and it is very widely dis-
tributed, especially in the older crystalline
rocks. It was found that if a bit of loadstone
were placed in water upon a piece of cork or
straw braid it would turn till the axis of the
stone assumed a north and south position. A
phenomenon of magnetism had been dis-
covered by means of an ore that is peculiarly
susceptible to magnetic influence.
It is an open question whether the Chinese
utilized the directive power of the loadstone
but it is certain that the first rude compass
was not used on European vessels before the
twelfth century of our era. By that time the
true magnetic compass had been evolved
through the discovery that if an iron or steel
needle were stroked on a piece of loadstone
it would receive the atractive and directive
power of this ore. With this wonderful
appliance placed at the service of navigation,
the vessels that had hugged the coasts soon
dared to venture even out of sight of land.
A new impetus was gradually given to chart-
ography, for now the true directions of the
coast lines might be charted with some
approach of accuracy. It was the happy for-
tune of Italian sailors to make the surpris-
ingly excellent surveys of the directions and
lengths of the Black Sea and Mediterranean
coasts and along the Atlantic to British
waters that have come down to us in the so-
called Portulan maps. — Harper's Magazine.
REGARDING ACCIDENTS.
The foregoing list of accidents appears in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer of June 17th.
What does not appear is much more sig-
nificant. No watch is kept on many of the
steamers and vessels running at night or in
thick weather, in the feverish rush of the
officers of each vessel to get more work out
of their crew than the officers of other ves-
sels, the watchman, instead of being on the
lookout at night and in thick weather, is
kept at work, painting or scrubbing, and
the lives of the crew and the loss of the
vessel are placed in jeopardy through the all-
consuming ambition of some officer for ad-
vancement over his fellows. A well-known
master recently gave me a list of vessels
he met in Lake Huron in this same fog,
running full speed and half of them not
blowing, he could not be certain of the iden-
tity of all of them, in fact only a few of them,
but that does not alter the case. The master
of one of the Gilchrist steamers was called
on deck in this thick weather. He was very
much surprised to find the watchman paint-
ing in the hallway forward. He asked the
mate what the watchman was doing there,
and why he was not on lookout. The mate
said there was a lot of work to be done. The
watchman was ordered on lookout, as the
master could not see why she should be
painted if they were going to sink her.

PADRONE GRAFT.
John N. Bogart, Commissioner of Li-
censes of New York, has sent to Mayor Mc-
Clellan a lengthy report in which he makes
complaint of the difficulty of enforcing the
licens'e laws and ordinances against the
Italian padroncs and other contract labor
employment agencies. He says that laborers
sent to the South and West by these
agencies are treated with cruelty and that
such agencies operated without legal re-
such agencies operated without legal restric-
tion so long that they now regard an attempt
to enforce the laws as an unwarranted inter-
ference with their business.
Of the Italian padrones the Commissioner
says in his report :
"The Italian immigrants are too generally
the victims of flie padrone. It is character-
istic of the Italian immigrant that he looks
with suspicion upon everybody but his own
countryman, and in him he puts a confi-
dence that is almost incredible. The
padrone has practically instituted the salve
system among his countrymen. He hires the
immigrants by the hundred to go out of the
city to work on contracts, furnishes the .
workmen with food and lodging, deducting
the cost from their wages.
As the padrone is the sole arbiter of the
cost of these necessaries, it can be imagined
how much the ignorant immigrant obtains
as the net result of his labor. Care is usually
taken when he is sent quite a distance out of
the city to work, perhaps in some malarial
swamp or disease ridden locality, that he
never obtains enough money to pay his
transportation back again until the job is
completed. Sometimes the location of the
place where he is sent to work is concealed
from him lest he balk at being sent too great
a distance from his friends.
In recent cases brought to the attention
of the Commissioner of Licenses it was
shown that hundreds of Italian immigrants
who believed they were going to Philadel-
phia or Pittsburg were really landed in the
swamps of Florida and the, wilds of North
Carolina, where they were kept on railroad
construction work under the surveillance of
armed guards until they became too sick to
be of value, when they were turned loose
to make their way back to New York as
best they could.
It is very difficult for the Commissioner
to remedy this evil, except by widespread
publicity of the facts as a warning to labor-
ers. It is hard to prove legally that the
New York employment agencies give false
information to applicants as to the character
and conditions surrounding the work at the
point of destination, and the stories of ill-
treatment by the employing companies are
flatly denied by them and their agents."
ANOTHER CANAL PROJECT.
The seven-masted schooner Thomas W.
Lawson, which has been chartered for a
term of five years to carry oil between Port
Arthur, Texas, and Philadelphia and other
Northern ports, is now at the shipyards in
Newport News, where she will be fitted
with tanks.
Congress has authorized the appointment
of a commission to examine and report upon
a suitable route for the construction of a
deep waterway to connect the Chesapeake
and Delaware bays. There is already a
Chesapeake and Delaware canal, but it is
an old-fashioned canal-boat affair. Balti-
moreans would be glad of a short cut as
nearly as possible in a straight line that
would greatly shorten the route from that
city to Europe. But it is said that this
would be so costly that the national Govern-
ment is unlikely to view it with favor. If
anything is done it will probably be by en-
largement of the existing canal. The prime
motive of the national Government in this
enterprise will not be to open a shorter route
to the sea for Baltimore commerce, although
any deep canal will do this, but to complete
an important link in a projected line of in-
tercoastal waterways from Pamlico Sound
in North Carolina to Long Island Sound,
forming a strategic chain of protected in-
land water communication of high value
in a military view. About a hundred years
ago President Madison started an agitation
for a deep water canal between the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Bays, and the idea has
received attention from time to time ever
since, although we do not know that any so
serious a step looking to its construction has
before been taken. The report of the com-
mission, if it demonstrates the practicability
of the scheme within a reasonable limit of
cost, will interest the whole country. — Bos-
ton Herald.
AN "OPEN SHOP" DECISION.
Conspicuous among the statements of
labor unionists made to the Massachusetts
Bureau of Statistics and Labor, and pub-
lished recently in the first installment of the
report for 1906 on the apprenticeship sys-
tem in this State, is the following:
"Sub-division of labor in the shoe trade
has to a large extent eliminated skill.
"In the shoe factory system of to-day the
all-around workman is at a decided disad-
vantage as compared with a man who is
trained in one particular small branch of
the trade.
"The all-around workman, as we under-
stood him twenty years ago, does not exist
in the shoe trade to-day, and if he did exist
and applied for employment and stated that
he was an all-around workman, it is a fore-
gone conclusion that the employer would
tell him that he had no place for him, but
that he could use a puller-over, lasting ma-
chine operator, lining cutter, trimming cut-
ter, outside cutter, edge setter, heel trimmer,
heel shaver, heel scourer, heel slugger or one
of fifty other specialists.
"Then the all-around workman would
conclude that he had better go selling in-
dustrial insurance or take some other
equally uncertain employment."
Demand the Label on all products!
The emblem of the International Sea-
men's Union of America, the Neptune and
Niades, is becoming more familiar every
day. It has now been added to the designs
of the tattoers along the water front and
the Bowery of New York.
Highly important is the decision of the
Court of Appeals definitely overthrowing as
unconstitutional the "labor union law" — the
section of the penal code which forbids an
empolyer to enter into an agreement with
an employe binding the employe not to join
a labor organization.
The declared purpose of this Act was to
prevent the practice of intimidation upon
employes — that sort of intimidation which
takes advantage of a man's need of employ-
ment, and says to him : "Bind yourself not
to join a union, or you shall not have a job."
The legislation was adopted without serious
protest, and not as a party measure.
District Attorney Jerome had a skirt-
maker in this city fined $5 for entering into
such an agreement with his employes. The
fined man appealed, on the ground that the
law was contrary to the State constitution,
which leaves contracts between employer
and employe free unless they interfere with
public health and safety. The Appellate 1 )i-
vision reversed the action of the local court
and declared the law unconstitutional ; and
this decision is now affirmed by the Court
of Appeals.
Labor organizations will maintain that
this decision is destructive of the union prin-
ciple itself, and of the freedom of labor to
organize, since employers, by taking ad-
vantage of seasons of pressure for work,
when men will bind themselves to almost
anything to give bread to their families, may
practically close their shops against union
men. It will result, beyond doubt, in
strengthening the movement for a separate
labor party. — New York Globe.
BOSTON HARBOR NOTES.
The bark Low Wood has been towed
down from the Mystic to an anchorage, and
will sail in a few days for the River Platte
as soon as a crew can be secured. Men are
very scarce at the present time.
A four-masted schooner has started on
the long journey from Boston to Beunos
Ayres. She will try to overhaul the ship
Timanda, which has a twenty-four-hour
start of her, bound for the same port.
The labor organizations of Boston and
vicinity are raising a fund for the purpose of
placing a monument over the grave of
George E. McNeil. Brother McNeil de-
voted his life to the cause of labor, and is
known as "the Father of the Eight-Hour
Day." lie was a speaker, a thinker, a writer
and a worker.
Governor Guild, of Massachusetts, has
signed the bill to provide for the incorpora-
tion of interurban street railways and the
bill for an eight-hour day for public em-
ployes. This latter bill is similar to the bill
which Governor Bates vetoed on the ground
of probable unconstitutionality, but since
that veto the Supreme Court has rendered a
decision to the effect that such a law would
be constitutional, and Governor Guild
therefore signed the bill.

The Norwegian steamer Otto sailed from San
Francisco on July n for Vladivostok, via Port-
land, with a general cargo.
The steamer Harold Dollar will sail from San
Francisco during the present week for the Arc-
tic with supplies for the whaling vessels.
It is reported that the steamers Breakwater and
Czarina have been purchased from the J. D.
Spreckels Bros'. Co. by the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company.
The barkentine Tropic Bird, Captain Barron,
arrived at San Francisco on July 8 after a fast
passage of three days from the Columbia River.
The schooner John F. Miller arrived at San
Francisco on July 5, fourteen days from Port
Bennett, Alaska, with a cargo of 84,000 codfish.
On June 10 she spoke the schooner Czarina in
Akato Bay with 34,000 codfish.
The tug Wizard, recently purchased by Captain
Eschen, is at Boole's yard in Oakland, being re-
modeled. An entire new deckhouse and pilot-
house will be constructed.
Thick weather has caused a great deal of trou-
ble during the past week, and in addition to the
large number of accidents caused by the fog, the
fleet lost considerable time. A half a dozen ves-
sels were in collision and as many more went
aground.
Captain Bouchard has been appointed master
of the steamer Sea Foam, vice Captain Miller.
Captain Hardwick of the Alliance has taken com-
mand of the steamer Thomas L. Wand, vice Cap-
tain Olson, and Chief Mate Kelly takes command
of the Alliance. .
Two vessels of the Gilchrist fleet were in ; col-
lision at the head of Lake Superior Sunday. They
were the steamer Merida and the barge Antrim
The Merida will make temporary repairs and
come down with a cargo of ore, but it will take
ten days to complete repairs on the Antrim.
The steamer Saturn, which was in collision
with the little schooner Ontario on Lake Huron
Sunday, arrived here recently. She was not
damaged in the mix up. The steamer Steel King
was badly damaged when she was hit by the
steamer Manchester. The collision occurred on
Lake Huron Sunday morning.
An unusually large shipment of $17,030,000 was
taken for Honolulu, Gum and the Philippines by
taken for Honolulu, Guam and the Philippines by
the United States Army transport Sheridan
which sailed from San Francisco on July 5- All
but $\o,ooo of the money was in paper currency,
the remainder being newly coined pesos for use
in the Philippines.
The steamer George W. Elder is reported to
have come out of drydock at Portland (Or.), on
July 9. The Elder was lately raised, after having
been practically given up as lost in the Colum-
bia River, and has become the property of U f.
Doe & Co., of San Francisco, who will place the
vessel on the route connecting Portland with San
Francisco and Port Los Angeles.
For the first time in at least twenty years there
is no disengaged foreign or deep-water vessel in
San Francisco. On July 5 the charter of the Nor-
wegian ship Prince Robert was announced, and
this removes the last of the disengaged vessels
from the list. Vessels arc numerous and business
is good, and the passing of idle ships is looked
upon as a good sign.
The protected cruiser Milwaukee, just com-
pleted by the Union Iron Works, at San Fran-
cisco, lies at anchor off the Potrero, ready to go
on her builders' trial trip on the Bay. This will
take place during the week, after the Milwaukee s
bunkers are filled with coal. Captain George
Harvey will have charge of the cruiser on the run,
under the direction of the Naval Board.
The barkentine Portland, recently reported as
having gone ashore near Heuneme (Cal.), on the
way from the North to Redondo, was floated on
June 30 with assistance, and was taken to Re-
dondo' in tow of the steamer Francis H. Leggett.
Captain A. F. Pillsbury, surveyor for the San
Francisco Board of Marine Underwriters, went
to Hueneme to superintend the work of floating
the Portland.
Nearly two score large steamers and torty-
four sailing vessels are now on the way to San
Francisco with material for the reconstruction of
the burned district. The cargoes of the vessels
consist largely of structural steel and cement,
the greater number coming from New Yorl<>
Philadelphia, London, Antwerp and Hamburg. A
fleet of these vessels is soon to arrive, and their
safe anchorage in port will be an encouragement
to the builders here.
The steamer Wawatam of the Pittsburg Steam
ship Co., which arrived at Lorain recently, was
in collision with the steamer George J. Gould
on Lake Huron early Sunday morning. The
Gould, which was bound up with coal, passed
the Soo at 11 o'clock in the morning. It is
not known how badly she was damaged in the
collision. The Wawatam got off easy, as she
only has three damaged plates and repairs on
her will be made in two or three days.
Wang Ho, the great Chinese junk, arrived at
Port Los Angeles on June 30. This is the fam-
ous ship bought by H. E. Huntington and brought
across the ocean for exhibition purposes off the
coast of California. The Wang Ho is the first
vessel of Chinese build to cross the Pacific. She
is more than 200 years old and was used for more
than a century in driving pirates from the shores
of China. At her helm was Captain Hans Bort.
The junk is seventy days out from China.
The steamer Merida and the schooner Antrim,
both of the Gilchrist fleet, were in collision. Both
ships were badly damaged. The Merida was com-
ing down from the Mesaba ore docks and the
Antrim was being towed to the dock by two
tugs, the boats came together just north of the
interstate bridge. The bulwarks on the port bow
of the steamer were stove in and several plates
on the port bow of the Antrim were broken.
Temporary repairs are now being made.
In the heavy fog recently the steamer
Henry ort struCck the wreck of the schooner
Algeria outside the breakwater. The Cort, which
had dropped her large bell at the entrance to
the harbor, was on her way to Fairport when
she ran into the wreck. The Cort hit the Algeria
forward of the spar, which is still standing and
she was stuck for about five hours. She was
released by the tug Kennedy. The Cort was not
damaged and went to Fairport to unload her ore
cargo.
W. A. Boole & Son have begun the construction
of a large steam schooner for the Sybil Marston
Steamship Company. It will be named Sybil
Marston, and is to be one of the largest of the
steam schooner class on the Pacific, having a
length of 215 feet, beam of 42 feet and depth of
16.6 feet, with a capacity for carrying consider-
ably more than 1,000,000 feet of lumber. Some of
the frames for the vessel were in place at the
time of the earthquake, but were shattered, and
all work is beginning anew.
The bark Nicholas Thayer has been finally
posted at Lloyd's as missing, according to a
telegram received from London. The vessel left
Seattle on January 10 last for Seward, Alaska,
and has never since been heard from. She was
owned by a Seattle firm, commanded by a Cap-
tain Johnson, and did not carry a large crew. The
Nicholas Thayer was a wooden vessel of 555
tons register, built in Thomaston, Me., in 1868.
She was formerly well known at San Francisco
as one of the Alaska Packers' Association fleet.
William II. Gately, a launch owner who left
his disabled boat Anna moored at Bay Farm Island
011 June 22 while he went to San Francisco for
another boat, has been sued for $250 salvage by
Charles W. Keith, J. C. Beetle, C. A. Shattuck
and Fred G. Mudgett, the men who came upon
the launch and took it in charge. Gately, upon
returning to Bay Farm Island, found that these
men had taken the boat to Alameda, and upon
following them he learned that they expected
heavy salvage. The matter has now got into the
courts. The launch is valued at $1,000.
Another coasting steamer has come from the
Atlantic to ply in the North Pacific trade, prob-
ably between Puget Sound and Southeastern
Alaska. This is the Saratoga, recently purchased
by the Northwestern Steamship Company, of
Seattle. The Saratoga arrived at San Francisco
on July 8, fifty-nine days from New York, thirty-
three days from Montevideo and nineteen days
from Coronel, under command of Captain A. A.
Moore. The Saratoga was formerly in the New
York and Cuba service. She was built in 1878
by John Roach, at Chester (Pa.), and has a net
tonnage of 1973, with a length of 298 feet, width
of 38.6 feet and depth of 23.5 feet. Captain
Moore reported upon arrival that the trip from
New York, beginning on May 10, had been un-
eventful. The Saratoga brought a cargo of 800
tons of cement.

The smoke nuisance, so prevalent in the
large cities of Great Britain, is controlled to
some extent by legislation and municipal
regulations, but a new feature in this line is
an official objection from the London com-
missioners of public works to the destructive
effects in the emission of sulphurous and sul-
phuric acid from huge smokestacks, and from
those of electric generators in particular.
The commissioners state that their attention
has been called to the large number of bills
introduced into Parliament this session for the
grant of powers for the generation and supply
of electrical energy in London, and that these
involve the development of generating works.
As the public department in charge of the royal
parks and gardens, the commissioners state
they have felt a growing apprehension as to
possible injury from the products of combus-
tion emitted by these extensive generating
works to the life of the trees, plants, and
flowers in the parks, and are not free from
doubt whether the great national treasures in
the' museums and picture galleries are not ex-
posed to danger from this same cause. They
think it right, therefore, in view of the intro-
duction of all these legislative schemes, to in-
vite the attention of Parliment to the point,
so that it may be fully taken account of in
any injuiry upon those schemes. The case,
they say is not entirely one of the emission or
consumption of black smoke or sooty or tarry
matters. The other products of combustion,
such as sulphurous and sulphuric acid, with
solid particles of mineral matter or ash, are
very deleterious to vegetation, to buildings,
and to pictures, marbles, metals, and other
museum exhibits.
The commissioners proceed to point out that,
although the owners of generating stations are
liable to the oidinary law against the negli-
gent emission of smoke, the position is some-
what different as to other products men-
tioned. They consider that the cluster
of generating stations growing up in the
near neighborhood of Regent's Park and
other works may justifiably cause them
peculiar uneasiness because of their situa-
tion. It would appear, the memoran-
dum continues, that smoke with all its
sooty and tarry particles can be so well con-
sumed by proper apparatus that no danger
ought to arise in that respect. Effectual
means should be taken to secure that apparatus
of the most approved character shall be em-
ployed for the cousumption of smoke. The use
of dust-destructor refuse as fuel should be
altogether prohibited. But the principal enemy
to be combatted is the sulphuric acid, the
production of which can be much diminished,
if not entirely prevented, by pouring limewater
on the coal before it goes into the furnaces ;
and the commissioners think that this condi-
tion, the fulfillment of which would involve
small expense and not much labor, might
reasonably be insisted upon.
The steamer Mexico, building at Cramps'
for the Ward Line, sailed on her trial trip

JULY ii, 1906.
SHIPOWNERS STILL BLUFFING.
The rumors of arbitration between the
shipowners and seamen are still nothing
more than rumors. The latest developments
in this connection arc described by the San
Francisco Chronicle of July 10, as follows:
If the shipowners live up to their declarations
made to Mayor Schmitz yesterday, when a com-
mittee waited upon him to confer in regard to the
water-front situation, a deadlock has been reached
in the strike that can only be broken by capitula-
tion or concessions on the part of the striking
sailers.
This eummitlte. headed by several prominent
members of the Association, met at the office of
the Mayor, at his invitation, during the after-
noon, and after threshing over the proposition
with the chief executive from every angle for
two hours, departed with the announcement that
they would neither agree to arbitrate their dif-
ferences nor concede anything more to the sail-
ors than they had enjoyed under the former
schedule.
The invitation from Mayor Schmitz to the ship-
owners to confer with him came only after the
communications addressed by him to the Asso-
ciation had proved ineffective. The Mayor
frankly expressed his disappointment at the un-
satisfactory termination of the conference, but
expressed the hope that the shipowners might
be induced L> change their views before the situ-
ation became aggravated. The Sailors' Union has
repeatedly expressed a desire to meet with the
owners, through the medium of a committee of
arbitration appointed from the two respective
and strengthened by the addition of dis-
interested outsiders, and it was mainly with the
hope of inducing the shipowners to agree to the
formation of such a committee of arbitration that
Mayor Schmitz requested the conference.
The situation is left practically where it was
when the lockout took place. The owners refuse
to grant anything except the old schedule of
wages and the old hours. They announce that
they are able to conduct their business without
aid from the Sailors' Union, and express their
confidence that the Union will come to see the
unwisdom of its demands.
Speaking of the conference after the meeting,
Mayor Schmitz said: "I am disappointed at the
termination of this conference. I have tried
letter writing, but it has proved unsatisfactory.
I had thought that by holding a personal con-
ference with the shipowners I might be able to
induce them to agree to meet the sailors in ar-
bitration, but they have refused to arbitrate. So
far as concessions go, they state they have noth-
ing to concede. They announce that only on
old footing will they consent to re-employ
union men. It is an unfortunate thing that the
shipowners should assume such a stubborn at-
titude at this time. For the immediate present,
however, the situation will have to rest."
The Mayor did not say what further plans he
had in regard to a settlement or adjustment of
the water-front difficulty, but he stated that he
was by no means discouraged at the lack of
success which had attended his efforts to end
the strike, and announced that he intended to
persist in his endeavors to settle the complica-
It will be noted that the Association's
hope of capitulation by the unions is based
upon nothing more substantial than its own
dictum concerning the attitude of the
unions. The Association pretends to be
confident that the Sailors' Union will come
to see the "unwisdom of its demands." If
the issue depends upon the question of wis-
dom or unwisdom in the unions' demands
the hour of capitulation is likely to be in-
definitely postponed. That question was
well considered at the outset. No one, not
even those most disposed to complain of
the inconvenience caused by the tie-up, de-
nies the wisdom — that is, the justice — of
the seamen's demands. The shipowners are
merely bluffing. The utmost they hope to
accomplish is to tire out, or starve out, the
seamen. In either case the shipowners are
hoping against hope.
Public opinion, at first disposed to be
doubtful, is now strongly in favor of the
seamen, and is becoming more so every day.
The lockout can be broken by force of pub-
lic opinion, provided the latter be given ade-
quate expression. If the "nothing-to-ar-
bitrate" attitude had been assumed by
the seamen there would have been no end
of denunciation in the press and elsewhere.
That attitude has been assumed entirely by
the shipowners. Yet the press, which was
vociferous in demanding that the parties
"get together," remains practically silent
regarding the refusal of the shipowners to
submit their case to disinterested judgment.
Let the voice of the public be heard, and
we shall hear little more of the "nothing-to-
arbitrate" cry. Meanwhile the seamen will
continue the contest for justice, secure in
the conviction that time will vindicate their
course.
A number of labor contemporaries, in
publishing the Legislative Platform of the
American Federation of Labor, have made
the mistake of stating the first plank in that
document as "Compulsory Arbitration." It
should be "Compulsory Education." The
American Federation of Labor, so far from
favoring compulsory arbitration, is strongly
opposed to that institution, a position that
is justified not only by reason, but also by
the experience of those who have tried that
method of settling, or rather of suppressing,
labor troubles. The Federation stands for
arbitration, first, last and all the time, but
it must be voluntary arbitration — that is, it
must be arbitration, not compulsion. In any
event, it is important that the platform of
the Federation be quoted correctly. "Com-
pulsory Education," not "Compulsory Arbi-
tration," is the thing.
Members of the Sailors' Union of the Pa-
cific in port at San Francisco must report
daily to the registration committee in order
to qualify for Strike Benefit. Apart from
the latter consideration, it is the duty of
members to give their personal services in
the present situation. Every man should
take care that his record shall be such that
he will be able to take pride in it "when
the clouds roll by."
Strike Benefit will be paid to members
of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific at Head-
quarters on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri-
day of each week. In order to receive the
benefit the registration and watch record of
the members must be in keeping with the
rules adopted by the Union.

SCIENTIST AND SAILOR.
The Japanese scientist, I hnari, will probably
return to his own country with a bad opinion of
American manners. Me was the victim of an un-
provoked assault in this city, for which some
sort id" reparation was made by punishing the
assailant; but it cannot be said that the trouble
he met with in Eureka was entirely uninvited. A
man who undertakes to joke with a striking sailor
takes a great many chances. That is what Mr.
( Iniari did, ami he suffered the consequences,
which fortunately appear to have been in
the nature of an assault on his dignity than in-
jury to his person.- San Francisco Chronicle.
Exactly. Professor Omari, being anxious
to reach Eureka, stowed away on the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company's steamer Cor-
ona. At any rate, he pretended to do so, and
the master of the Corona, in order to carry
out the farce, pretended to put the little
brown scientist to work swabbing paint and
in other light diversions known to steam-
boatmen. When < Imari was hailed on the
streets of Eureka he pled guilty to the
charge of being a non-union sailor. Hence
the assault on the gentleman's dignity.
Without in the least condoning the treat-
ment accorded Professor Omari, it remains
to be said that anyone, no matter how dis-
tinguished, who pretends to be a non-union
sailor, has little cause to complain if he is
mistaken for what he pretends to be. On
the contrary, Omari has reason to feel proud
of the fact that he fooled the natives. We
can only hope that the satisfaction of mind
enjoyed by the distinguished scientist will
more than offset any physical discomfort he
may have suffered as a result of his adven-
ture in the cause of science — and non-union-
ism.
Tf one may believe the charges made by
the United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation, to the effect that the seamen's
unions are responsible for the tie-up of com-
merce, the seaman has suddenly assumed a
position of great importance in the mari-
time world. Ordinarily, the seaman cuts
no figure in shipping affairs; the shipowner,
and he alone, is the individual required to
insure the coming and going of ships, car-
goes and passengers. Now we are told that
this is a mistake, that the seaman — the "com-
mon sailor" — is the big mucky-muck in the
business. And we arc told this by no less
an authority than the shipowner himself!
This change in the relative importance of
shipowner and seaman isn't so much of a
change, after all; it is merely an acknowl-
edgment of a fact long known to those
acquainted with the business. A recogni-
tion of that fact in normal times would
minimize the importance of the seaman in
abnormal times. In other words, if the sea-
man's importance in maritime affairs were
duly recognized by shipowners and the pub-
lic while he is at work, it would not sud-
denly become a thing of so much importance
when he quits his job.
The lockout of seamen by the United
Shipping and Transportation Association is
now a month old. The leading fact de-
veloped during that period is that the ship-
owners have not been able to secure a single
seaman to take the place of the men forced
out of employment in the attempt to destroy
the seamen's unions.
The plight of the struck shipowners may
lie very well judged by the fact that they are
forced to import "bad men" from the prairies
in order to make a showing of manning
their vessels.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
A proposal has been made to establish
a fish cannery at Ferndale, in Humboldt
county, Cal., said cannery to be manned by
Chinese labor. Naturally, the people of
Humboldt county, who for twenty years
have been free from the curse of Mongolian
labor, are up in arms against the scheme.
They contend that no advantages accruing
from the establishment of a Chinese-
labor industry can compensate for the dan-
ger of contamination by the Oriental vices
and competition with the Oriental standard
of living. In other words, the people of
Ferndale and surrounding cities insist that
if the proposed cannery can not succeed
without Chinese labor, they, the people in
question, must content themselves to get
along without the cannery in question. The
people of California at large and of the Pa-
cific Coast will watch with interest and per-
sonal concern the result of the attempt to
re-introduce Chinese labor into Humboldt
county. For the sake of the movement to
resist and finally remove the yellow and
brown races from the industrial field of the
West, it is to be earnestly hoped that that
attempt will fail. If we do not greatly over-
estimate the caliber of the men and women
of Humboldt the attempt to saddle them
with a Chinese-labor problem is already as
good as defeated.
The "Agreement" of the United Shipping
and Transportation Association, published
on page I of this issue, contains absolute
proof of the plot to destroy the unions, not
only of seamen, but of all other crafts, on
the water front of San Francisco. Notwith-
standing its platitudes on the "Open Shop"
and its pretense of impartiality as between
union and non-union men, the meaning of
the "Agreement" is perfectly plain. Now
that the fatuous and cowardly design of the
Association is fully recognized, the justifi-
cation, and indeed necessity, of the seamen's
course will be apparent. The shipowners
claim for themselves the right to organize,
but they deny that right to their employes !
That the plot of the Association will fail and
that the seamen's unions will emerge trium-
phant from the contest with the forces of
reaction is as certain as the law of organiza-
tion is inescapable.
The plumbers of San Francisco have just
won a strike for an increase in wages from
$5 to $6 per day. A few weeks ago the
bricklayers of that city were voluntarily
granted an increase from $7 to $8 per day.
The seamen, however, are still fighting for
an increase from $1.50 to $1.65 per day. Of
course, the seamen's wages include board,
such as it is, and lodging, such as it isn't.
These latter items increase the seamen's
wages by, say, 50 cents per day. Thus the
latter are still far below their fellows in the
trades previously named, and in fact below
every other trade involving like require-
ments of skill, endurance, etc. It is in order
for someone to emit another roar against
the "ill-advised and inopportune" action of
the seamen in "tieing up the commerce of
the port"!

THE PROOF OF THE PLOT.
(Continued From Page 1.)
purpose is to resist only encroachments that mean
ruination in the way of demands hatched up by
leaders anxious to "make good."
The Agreement carries its own conviction; its
meaning and effect lie upon its face. No analy-
sis is needed tc demonstrate the purport of the
document. In three essential particulars the
proofs afforded by the Agreement are absolutely
complete, first, that the Association is formed
to establish the "Open Shop"; secondly, that the
Association is pledged to "joint action" with the
Citizens' Alliance; thirdly, that financial authority
— the matter of forfeiting the bond of $5000 —
being vested in the President of the Citizens' Al-
liance, the latter is thereby constituted the final
authority in the affairs of the United Shipping
and Transportation Association.
So far as authority is divided, or shared, by
Herbert George, President of the Citizens' Al-
liance, the situation is by no means improved.
The "joint actor" for the United Shipping and
Transportation Association is Mr. R. P. Scherwin,
Vice-President and General Manager of the Pa-
cific Mail Steamship Company, and, if anything,
better known as a lover of Chinese labor and a
hater of anything and everything in the nature
of labor organization.
The charges, first, that the present dispute be-
tween shipowners and seamen is caused, not by
the inability of the former to pay the wages de-
manded by the latter, but by a desire to destroy
the seamen's organization, and, secondly, that
the whole trouble was inspired and is maintained
by the Citizens' Alliance, are proved by the rec-
ords.
The Steamship Association, rather than con-
cede a small increase of wages to its employes,
to the men upon whose labor it depends for its
own profits, has entered into a compact involving
a much larger expenditure upon its own part,
for the purpose of destroying the organizations of
its employes. All done, of course, upon the plaus-
ible but exploded pretext of establishing the
"Open Shop" principle(?). The Steamship As-
sociation is not willing to tolerate what it calls
the "tyranny of the unions," but it apparently
is willing to tolerate the much greater and more
expensive tyranny of Messrs. George and
Schwerin, neither of whom have the slightest in-
terest in their affairs. Yet the shipowners pre-
tend, and some of them possibly believe, that they
are fighting for the liberty to "run their own
business." Oh, Liberty, what paradoxes are com-
mitted in thy name!
STRIKES IN GERMANY.
Strikes increase in number every year in
Germany. As shown by the published sta-
tistics, the average number of strikes for the
years 1899 to 1903, inclusive was 1,242; in
1904 it rose to 1.870, and in 1905 to 2,057. Of
much significance is the increasing number
of lockouts, which show that combination
among employers is also developing. The
number of lockouts, which averaged only 42
for the period of 1899 to 1903, rose in 1904 to
120, and in 1905 to 200. It is expected that
the figures for 1906 will show a further con-
siderable increase. The industry most seri-
ously affected by the movement at the pres-
ent time is that of the metal-workers. The
United Association of German Metal In-
dustrialists has been considering the advis-
ability of a general lockout of all the metal-
workers.
From the many charges of bribery made
against the members of the Massachusetts
Legislature, and its own act of investigating
itself in star chamber sessions, the laboring
men of Massachusetts arc commencing to
understand why it has been so difficult here-
tofore to secure any beneficial legislation.
The price for which it is claimed some of
the members of the Great and General Court
have been bought has caused Thos. W. Law-
son, the "frenzied-finance" writer, to amend
his description of the Legislature.
Some time ago Mr. Lawson claimed that
the Legislature could be bought like sausage
or fish in the market. He has now amended
ths statement by saying that the members
of that body can be bought like rotten saus-
ages and putrid fish at fertilizer prices.

ON THE GREAT LAKES
(Contributed by the Lake Seamen's Unions.)
NEW WRECKING VESSELS.
The Great Lakes Towing Company will
build a powerful wrecking tug and a lighter
that will have a capacity of 3000 tons. 'Die
two boats will cost about $225,000, and will
be built at the Buffalo plant of the Ameri-
can Shipbuilding Company.
The expenditure of the amount of money
for that purpose was authorized at a meet-
ing of tin- executive committee recently.
The new tug will In- much larger and more
powerful than anything of the kind on the
lakes, and 1 'resident Smith says that she will
be the most complete wrecker on fresh wa-
ter. It will be several weeks before all the
details of the new boats will be worked out,
but the officials of the company who have
been at work on the matter for some time
have a fair idea of what the boats will be
like.
The tug will be equipped with all modern
appliances for wrecking work. She will have
grab buckets for lightering cargo, large an-
chors and a towing machine . She will
have an electric lighting plant, and a com-
pressed air outfit. Provisions will also be
made for the repairing of damaged ships,
and a blacksmith ami machinist's outfit will
be placed aboard the boat.
Work on the wrecker will be started as
soon as possible and the officials of the com-
pany expect to have her completed and
ready for business November I. The tug
will cost about $150,000. "The rapid growth
of the freight vessels has made it necessary
for us to take this move," said President
Smith of the towing company in dis-
cussing the action taken by the executive
committee. "Vessels of the class that are
building now cannot he handled by small
tugs when they are in trouble," said Mr.
Smith. "( )ur new wrecker will be large and
powerful enough to work in all kinds of
weather and under all conditions, and when
she gets ready to pull on a stranded vessel
there will be something doing."
The new lighter, which will have capacity
for not less than 3000 tons, will be much
larger than the Newman and Rescue. Her
construction will be different than the light-
ers now in commission, and she will be able
to go outside in heavy weather. The lighter
will not come out until next season.
President Smith is located at Buffalo and
the members of the executive committee de-
cided to have the boats built at that port,
so that he could look after their construc-
tion.
The steamer Rutland, the second of the
Rutland line boats to come out, will be in
command of Captain Harvey Brown. Cap-
tain Williams brought the steamer Ogdens-
burg out. The command of the recent ac-
quisitions to the Rutland fleet fell to Cap-
tains Williams and Brown, they being the
oldest captains in point of service. Should
a third boat come out she will fall to Cap-
tain William Shay, he being next in line of
seniority.
Revenue cutters Tuscarora on Lake Mich-
igan and the Morrill at Detroit are now fit-
ting out. Government funds for their main-
tenance are not available until July 1, hence
the delay in operation.
FUTURE FOR OLD BOATS.
For years the question of what shall be
done with the old-Style boats of small di-
mensions has been discussed. It is apparent
that boats of 3000 to 4000 tons capacity rap-
idly were being relegated to the position of
"has-beens." Boats of that size are now
outclassed in the ore and coal trades by the
new boats, which are able to carry from
8000 to 10,000 and 12,000 tons on a single
trip. Freight rates and other charges have
been readjusted on the basis of the needs
of the larger boats, leaving the smaller ves-
sels out of consideration. It has been a ques-
tion of what shall be done with the smaller
boats. Some few argued that it would be
necessary for them to be run on the beach
and broken up. Others have suggested that
they might find lucrative employment in the
lumber trade. A few of them have been cut
over to meet that condition, but the lumber
business is rapidly decreasing in volume, and
•he field is already fully occupied. Of late,
however, it has been seen that the package
freight trade has been found entirely to be
inadequate to the needs. Boats have been
transferred from other trades to package
freight and yet the growing volume of that
tonnage is greater than the apparent capacity
of the fleet. It is unelerstood now that a
mi >vement is on to cut the smaller bulk cargo
freighters into package freighters. It is ar-
gued that these boats not only will find prob-
able employment in package freight, but will
be able to get a considerable amount of
grain from the head of the lakes, inasmuch
as the grain trade is increasing year by year,
with the rapid development of the Canadian
Northwest. Some of the shop yards, antici-
pating a movement of this character, are
beginning to equip their plants to take care
of the business when it comes. It is said
that next winter a number of the smaller
boats heretofore engaging in the bulk cargo
trade will be remodeled to handle package
freight.
NEW MARINE POSTOFFICE.
Fixtures for the marine postoffice which
will open at the Sault SU\ Marie ship canal
in July have been ordered, and the office will
be ready for business at the appointed time.
The appointment of the officer to take
charge has not been made. The office will
be- Located in the administration building,
which stands between the locks, and will
handle all mail destined for persons on pass-
ing lake crafts.
Captain C. H. Sinclair, underwriters' rep-
resentative, has disposed of the coal cargo
of the schooner Hattie Wells, consisting of
699 tons, to J. W. Thompson of Port Hu-
ron. The Wells is now at Port Huron and
will be unloaded and repaired there. She was
damaged in a blow on Lake Erie some days
ago.
Few passenger boats in recent years have
had their staterooms named after states and
cities, the rooms being numbered instead.
The new steamer Roosevelt, which has her
staterooms named after various cities, re-
vives the old custom.
WORKING ON THE WRECKS.
Work on the stranded steamer Mataafa has
now reached the stage when she may be moved
at any time. Six hundred tons of ore were
jettisoned from the Mataafa recently. Nearly
half of her cargo has gone overboard. If one-
half of the ore is out of the boat, then she still
has 3,200 tons. The work of jettisoning the
ore will continue until the vessel is afloat.
It will be seen that this will not take very
long if the work is not interrupted by north-
easters. In fact the vessel may be floated at
most any time, for there is about eighteen feet
of water where she is on bottom.
A party of prominent steamship men re-
cently visited the stranded steamer Helenborn
at Split Rock, on the north shore, on the Reid
tug Manistique. The party was composed of
H. Coulby of Cleveland, A. I',. Wolvin, G. A.
Tomlinson, 1). T. Helm, II. W. Brown and W.
W. Watterson. The wrecking company has
the contract for releasing the F.denborn, and
the work will be undertaken as soon as the
steamer Mataafa is disposed of.
BIG LUMBER CARRIER.
The schoner Ashland, purchased by the L.
Edward Hines Lumber Company, of Chicago,
this spring, arrived at the Tonawandas re-
cently on her seconel trip of the season as a
lumber carrier. Incidentally the vessel carried
the largest cargo of lumber to arrive at the
Tonawandas this season, a consignment of 1,-
215,000 feet of white pine being on board. Eli
Jacques, master of the Ashland, considers the
vessel the biggest lumber carrier on the
Lakes. On the first trip the boat carried over
1,400,000 feet of green lumber from Two Har-
bors to Chicago. The vessel drew sixteen feet
of water during that trip, which would make
it impossible for her to come to the Tonawan-
das with such a cargo. When the Ashland
arrived she drew thirteen feet eight inches.
Captain Jacques saiel that the boat would easily
carry 1,500,000 feet of dry lumber and he ex-
pects to load several cargoes of that size be-
fore the end of the season.
An important deal has been made at Doug-
las, Mich., which means another boat line is
to be established between that place and
other coast towns anel Chicago, according
to a representative of the Chicago, South
Haven & Saugatuck Transportation Com-
pany. This company has purchased prop-
erty from Weed ami Gerber at Douglas and
the Bird-Whitney Company at Saugatuck,
on which is to be erected warehouses and
other buildings required by a transportation
company. It is the intention of the company
to have the boat line in operation within a
few weeks. The Michigan Steamship Com-
pany, of South Haven, anel the Kalamazoo-
South Haven Interurban Company are in-
terested in the deal.
The Local Steamboat Inspectors have re-
ceived notice that a white flash light has
been installed on Washington Island, north-
ern side of the entrance of Kenosha har-
bor, Lake Michigan, displacing the old light.
The light is 51 feet above the Lake level and
is visible 14J/2 miles.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
MARINE NOTES.
During the week of June 9, Two Harbors
shipped over 150,000 tons of iron ore.
The fog horn recently completed on the
south pier at Waukegan has been placed in
operation.
Herbert E. Rogers, of Duluth, has been
appointed general manager of the Pittsburg
Coal Company at Duluth.
Iron ore shipments in May were : Duluth,
1,140,761 tons; Two Harbors, 1,008,838 tons;
Superior, 657,924. Total, 2,807,423.
The schooner Three Brothers, dismasted
in a gale off W. Sister Island on June 8, has
been taken to Lorain drydock for repairs.
According to instructions received by Cap-
tain John Dennett from the War Depart-
ment, the revenue-cutter Tuscarora began
her season's duties on July 1.
Believing it would cost more than she is
worth, the owners of the schooner Lydia
have abandoned her on the beach near Mus-
kegon, where she was driven. The Lydia
was repaired during the winter, but any ef-
fort to pull her off met with failure.
Whaleback barge 117, which was injured
about the stern recently in collision, is at
the Ecorse yard of the Great Lakes Engi-
neering Works for repairs. The injury is
above the water line, and will likely be re-
paired in three days.
Negaunee folk figure that 'the lighthouse
at Grand Island, off Munising, is the highest
on the Lakes, if not in the United States.
Lake Superior's surface is 627 feet above
sea level, while the light on Grand Island
flashes from a tower erected on a cliff which
rises 250 feet from the water.
The movement of ore for June will show a
big increase over May, and the general opin-
ion is that a gain of a million tons will be
made. Some of the papers predict that a
greater increase over May will be made, and
that the shipments for June will reach 5,500,-
000. That will break all records for ore
shipments. Last July the fleet moved 5,224,-
610 tons, which is the largest movement for
a month up to date. It is expected that the
record made last July will be smashed sev-
eral times this season, and that the 6,000,000-
ton mark will be reached.
Captain C. H. Westcott, Supervising Inspec-
tor of the Eighth District, was recently asked
if the appointment of two assistant inspectors
at Cleveland meant that the help so long peti-
tioned for at various Lake ports had begun to
arrive. "There is good authority for belief
that more inspectors will be granted at other
ports," said Captain Westcott. While he did
not care to go further, it is known that more
assistants is being planned for at Detroit, Chi-
cago and possibly Grand Haven. There are
already four men at Milwaukee. Inspector
Westcott has been made by Secretary Metcalf
of the Department of Commerce and Labor a
member of the Executive Commitee of three
which recently met in Washington to consider
changes in rules which may be advisable.

ALCOLHOLISM DECLINING.
United States Consul Frank W. Mahin,
of Nottingham, in writing on the "Decrease
of Drinking and Drunkenness in England,"
says :
The truth of such a statement would prob-
ahlv be doubted by the casual observer of the
number of intoxicated people on the streets and
of men and women entering public houses.
But the evidence is derived from a compara-
tive study of social conditions and from the
Custom returns and the reports of beer-brew-
ing companies. No doubt another trustworthy
guide is the tendency of public sentiment,
which is unquestionably in the direction of
sobriety. Temperance societies in this country
are growing in numbers and influence. Out-
side of these, the abuse of intoxicants in its
relation to mental and physical health is receiv-
ing much attention. A special committee last
year made an exhaustive investigation of the
subject and reported to Parliament. The sub-
stance of this report was, at the request of tem-
perance societies, published by the authorities
of several London and provincial boroughs
through placards posted on billboards and dis-
tributed in factories and workshops. The
Nottingham placard, signed by the chairman
of the City Council's health committee, the
city's medical officer, and the Town Clerk,
reads as follows :
The report of the committee presented to
Parliament by command of His Majesty states
that :
The abuse of alcoholic stimulants is
a most potent and deadly agent of
physical deterioration.
Alcoholic persons are specially liable to
tuberculosis and all inflammatory disorders.
Evidence was placed before the committee
showing that in abstinence is to be sought the
source of muscular vigor and activity.
The lunacy figures show a large and in-
creasing number of admissions of both sexes
which are due to drink.
The following facts, recognized by the medt*
cal profession and placarded all over France
by order of the Government, are published in
order to carry out the recommendation of the
committee and to bring home to men and
women the fatal effects of alcohol on physical
efficiency :
( i ) Alcoholism is a chronic poisoning, re-
sulting from the habitual use of alcohol
(whether as spirits, wine or beer) which may
never go as far as drunkenness.
(2) It is a mistake to say that those doing
hard work require stimulants. As a fact no
one requires alcohol as either food or tonic.
1 3) Alcohol is really a narcotic, dulling the
nerves, like laudanum or opium, but is more
dangerous than either in that often its first
effect is to weaken a man's self-control, while
his passions are excited ; hence the number
of crimes which occur under its influence.
141 Spirits, as these are usually taken,
rapidly produce alcoholism, but milder alco-
holic drinks, as beer, and even cider, drunk
repeatedly every day produce, after a time,
alcoholic poisoning with equal certainty.
1 5 ) The habit of drinking leads to the
ruin of families, the neglect of social duties,
disgust for work, misery, theft, and crime.
It leads also to the hospital, for alcohol pro-
duces the most various and the most fatal
diseases, including paralysis, insanity, diseases
of the stomach and liver, and dropsy. It also
paves the way to consumption, and frequent-
ers of public houses furnish a large propor-
tion of the victims of this disease. It compli-
cates and aggravates all acute diseases ; ty-
phoid fever, pneumonia, and erysipelas are
rapidly fatal in the subject of alcoholism.
(6) The sins of alcoholic parents are vis-
ited on the children ; if these survive infancy
they are threatened with idiocy or epilepsy,
and many are carried away by tuberculosis
meningitis, or phthisis (consumption).
(7) In short, alcoholism is the most ter-
rible enemy to personal health, to family hap-
piness, and to national prosperity.
This action of city governments, chosen
without reference to the temperance question,
is the strongest possible indication of the
trend of public sentiment, and, though in it-
self an effect, is likely to be a prime cause
in furthering the temperance movement in this
country.
PREVENTIVE FOR STRIKES.
United States Consul Miller, of Rhcims,
France, furnishes the following report on
the relations that exist between the manu-
facturers of champagne and their workmen:
There are thousands of men employed in
the great champagne industry. In recent
years strikes have been unknown. The em-
ployers have discovered a preventative and
have demonstrated its practicability. This
is the bonus system. Every employe who
merits it is paid annually a bonus in addi-
tion to his wages. The bonus is not made
part of a contract between employer and
employe, but it is well understood that em-
ployes who make good records will receive
it. No employe knows what his standing
with the firm is until the day for paying
bonuses arrives. As pupils in the public
schools have their standing in politeness,
respect for and obedience to their teachers,
punctuality, and ability written in their
weekly "notes," so the employes of the
champagne houses have their records care-
fully registered.
The head of one of the great manufac-
turing houses here, who is frequently in
America and is an indirect employer of la-
bor there to a certain extent, speaking about
the frequent strikes in the United States,
said: "While I have great respect for the
skilled workmen in the United States and
what he accomplishes, I regret that, gen-
erally speaking, the laboring people of your
country have not been trained to respect
their employer and demonstrate that loyal
spirit toward the employing firm as they
should have been, and often the employer
does not respect them as be should."
The workingmen in the champagne trade
have an organization to which their em-
ployers contribute liberally and otherwise
encourage. The object of the society is for
mutual help in case of sickness or misfor-
tune. Every member's wife who has a child
born has the doctor's bill paid, and in ad-
dition receives twenty francs ($4) witli
which to purchase the infant's first outfit
of clothing.
H. G. Sel fridge, of Chicago, announces
the formation of a dry-goods corporation to
do business in London. England, and to be
known as Selfridge & Waring. The corpor-
ation, which will have a capital stock of
St.ooo.ooo, has secured a site on Oxford
street and expects to open for business in
September, 1907.

OPERATION OF THE TURBINE.
While the turbine has been in existence
from time immemorial, its application to ship
propulsion dates back only 12 years, when the
Hon. C. A. Parsons (son of Lord Rosse of
telescope fame) bought out the 100-foot "Tur-
bina," the first vessel using steam turbines,
whose astounding record of 35 knots per hour,
marked an epoch in marine-motor installation ;
and now the supreme test of this comparatively
recent innovation will be exploited in the
largest steamships ever designed.
The word turbine comes from the Italian
"turbo," meaning whirlwind or revolution, and
the translation of this term fully explains the
action of the steam in the turbine engine. The
shaft, the drum and the projecting blades or
vanes are blown around at great speed with
a smooth and even motion, and with a total
absence of the vibration which is present even
in the highest types and most perfectly bal-
anced engines of the reciprocating variety.
The extreme simplicity of the tur-
bine renders it difficult to describe.
In construction, it is a hollow cylinder split
longitudinally. Within this cylinderical shell
is a drum fixed upon the shaft. The drum re-
volves, the cylinder remains stationary. Steam
enters at one end of the cylinder and escapes
at the other. There are no pistons, cams,
eccentrics, connecting rods, or any of the com-
plicated devices required on reciprocating en-
gines to convert this form of motion into
rotary. In the turbine, rotary motion is im-
parted direct to the shaft by the pressure of
the steam. There are alternating rows of
blades or vanes between the exterior face of
the drum and the interior surface of the
cylinder. The first row of blades is fixed to
the circumference of the drum, the ends pro-
jecting outward and their faces placed dia-
gonal to the axis of the shaft, which is the
direction of the flow of steam as it first enters
the cylinder. Close up to this first row of
blades is another, but these are fixed to the
inner surface of the cylinder and are set at a
reverse angle to the first. Their office is
merely to turn back the flow of steam, which
has been deflected from its direct course by
contact with the first row of blades on the
drum, to its original direction. It then im-
pinges on the second row of blades attached
to the drum, is once more restored to its direct
course by the second row of blades on the
cylinder, and thus passes through the cylinder
from one end to the other, at each change of
direction exerting its full expansive force. As
the cylinder is fixed and immovable, the force
of the steam takes effect entirely upon the
drum, which is caused to revolve with great
rapidity, carrying with it the shaft to which it
is attached. The propeller is fixed upon the
after end of the shaft, and revolves with it in
the water. The turbine may be said to consist
of only two parts, the stationary cylinder and
the rotating drum, with its shaft and pro-
peller. No greater simplicity can be imagined
in a source of power. There are 1,550,000
blades in the turbines of the Lusitania and
Mauritania.
There is no friction in the turbine, no pack-
ing rings or stuffig boxes to obviate leakage
of steam and no internal lubrication is requir-
ed in the cylinder. Compounding the turbine
engine is easily accomplished by making more
cylinders and drums of larger diameter, with
larger blades more widely separated. From
the high to intermediate and low-pressure
cylinders — as with the ordinary engine — the
steam passes to the condenser and thence re-
turns to the boiler in the form of feed water.
Being free from cylinder oil it does not foul
the condensers, and this is an additional ad-
vantage of the turbine over the reciprocating
type.
The water turbine has been in existence
from time immemorial, and countless genera-
tions of engineers have striven to devise some
means of using steam in the same economical
manner to drive a shaft. Hero, of Alexan-
dria, who lived in 120 B. C, is believed to
have been the first to attack the problem. He
heated water in a hollow sphere, provided with
escape nozzles set at the same tangential angle,
and the steam imparted a rotary motion to the
sphere. Branca, in 1629, advanced con-
siderably further, approaching somewhat the
present method, for he secured rotary motion
by causing a jet of steam to impinge upon
the blades or vanes of a wheel. These and
other similar turbines that followed were more
in the nature of scientific toys than machines
for doing real work.
To the engineering profession, the adoption
of turbine or rotary engines mearts increased
speed for the same boiler power, due to re-
duced weight of machinery and increased
economy in steam ; the cost of up-keep is also
less, while there will be a smaller engine room
staff and a diminished bill for lubricants. The
passenger, however, regards the matter from
another standpoint. To him the adoption of
turbines means an utter absence of all vibra-
tion, and hence greater comfort, while the
smaller engine-room spaces and openings will
ensure more commodious quarters and
promenade space. To sum up — the mere fact
that on the best expert advice the Cunard
Company has adopted the steam turbine is
proof positive that the rotary engine is the
marine engine of the future and it is quite in
keeping with Cunard traditions that they
should have decided upon the system only
after thoroughly convincing themselves that
the steam turbine possesses economical advant-
ages over the reciprocating engine, and that
it is efficient, reliable and safe system of pro-
pulsion.
There is no known device, making for the
safety of a ship at sea, which has not been
provided in Lusitania and Mauritania. They
are equipped with the Stone-Lloyd system of
water-tight doors, which are a part of the
heavy steel-plate partitions, dividing the ship
into separate compartments. These doors can
be instantly closed by clever hydraulic mechan-
ism operated from the bridge, and in case
of an accident the ship would instantaneously
be rendered non-sinkable.
The latest safety device to be incorporated
in these and other Cunard ships is the new
system of submarine signaling. It is electric
and telephonic and by it signals can be trans-
mitted under water between steamships and
light vessels or from ship to shore. These
signals work perfectly during fogs when visual
signals are useless. Many lightships are being
equipped with submarine bells, and in thick or
foggy weather these sound continually the
known signal of their particular vessel. Ap-
proaching steamships provided with this ap-
paratus are enabled to ascertain their exact lo-
cation at all times and under all conditions.
The sound of the hell as heard on the steam-
ship, indicates its direction and, by the inten-
sity, its approximate distance, water being a
constant medium. — Nick J. Quirk.

burg, Sweedcn, by a bonded warehouse com-
pany for re-export trade.
TESTING CUNARDERS' CABLES.
Since 1855 until the present year the chain
cables for anchoring purposes made for the
Great Eastern have held the record for size.
These cables were made of iron 2j£ inches in
diameter, and at the time were considered
enormous. With the construction of the two
new mammoth Cunarders, Lusitania and
Mauritonia, the anchoring cable record is
broken along with many others.
The iron used in the Cunarders' cables is
3-)4 inches thick at the smallest part, or i/% of
an inch larger than that used for the Great
Eastern. Each link is about 22]/, inches long,
and with the crucible cast-steel stud weighs
160 pounds. The weight of the main cable,
which is about 2,000 feet long, is 100 tons,
while the joining and anchor shackles weigh
500 pounds and 840 respectively. The chain
is forged throughout.
Three links of the chain were subjected
to severe tests. First, to the proof strain of
189.8 tons established by the British Admir-
alty. This resulted in a total elongation of the
three links by J4 of an inch. The chain then
withstood the statutory breaking strain of
265.7 tons with a further elongation of ^
of an inch resulting. Then the maximum ca-
pacity of the testing machine — over 370 tons —
was applied and the links did not break under
it, nor show any sign of fracture or defect
on examination. The only result of the tests
— the most severe ever applied to a chain
cable — was an elongation of the three links
by 6 inches above the length before testing.
NAMING A SHIP.
The names Lusitania and Mauritania, given
to the two latest Cunarders, do not please The
Scientific American, which suggests that the
two vessels should have been named Britannia
and Hibernia. To this the following response
was made by Shipping Illustrated:
As a scientific suggestion these cognomina
are especially enjoyable. There are at pres-
ent on the mercantile no less than twenty-two
Britannias, ranging in tonnage from a 6,525-
ton P. &. O. steamer to a miserable 63-ton
London tug. Hibernias are less numerous, the
Green Isle being represented only by four
units ranging in tonnage from 2,418 to 214
tons. Whatever criticism may be directed at
the Cunard Company*for the names chosen for
their new steamers, the venerable British com-
pany deserves congratulation for not having
further added to the confusion now existing in
steamship nomelclature, by adopting names
already borne by other craft. There is but one
Lusitania on the British register, the other
being German, while the name of Mauiitania
is so far unique. The custom of christening
vessels after other craft is one which is fraught
with danger, especially in the case of passen-
ger steamers. Suppose an accident should
happen to any of the twenty-two Britannias
above mentioned, how many persons having
relatives and friends aboard would know, were
the mammoth Cunard steamer so named, that
she had not been the victim of the mishap?
There are, besides, countless reasons why any
deep-sea vessel should have a distinctive name
of her own to render confusion impossible.
The new steamer Kaiserin Auguste Vic-
toria at New York on June 18 made the pass-
age from Cherbourg to Sandy 1 look in four
hours less time than her maiden voyage in
May.

According to the Berlin journal
Der Arbeitsmarkt, 60 disputes com-
menced in Germany in May, as com-
pared with 67 in the previous month.
Fourteen of the disputes were in the
building trades, 11 in the printing
trades, 7 in the stone and earthenware
trades, 6 in the textile industry, 5 in
the woodworking and in the trans-
port trades, 2 each in minittg and
smelling, in the food trades, and in
the clothing trades, one in the metal
and engineering trades, and 5 in 0
trades.
Exclusive of seamen, the number of
workpeople in Great Britain re-
ported as killed in the course
of their employment during May,
1906, was 206, a decrease of 30
as compared with April, and of
10 as compared with May, 1905. The
mean number for May in the years
1901-1905 was 226, the maximum year
in this period being 1901, with 281
deaths, and the minimum year 1904,
with 195 deaths. The number of fa-
tal accidents to seamen reported in
May, 1906, was 117. The number
reported in May of the years 1901-
1905 varied from 58 in 1904 to 151
in 1902 the mean for the live years
being 96.
From an article contained in the
May issue of the journal of the
French Labor Department, it appears
that compared with 1904, a consider-
able decrease took place in 1905, both
in the number of strikes and in the
number of workpeople taking part
in them. In both these respects,
however, the average of the 12 pre-
vious years, for which statistics have
been compiled, was exceeded. Eight
hundred and thirty strikes were re-
ported in 1905 as against 1,026 in the
previous year, a decrease of 196 or 19
per cent. The number of strikers de-
creased from 271,097 in 1904 to 177,-
666 in 1905, a decline of 93,431 or 34
per cent. The aggregate number of
working days lost by strikes during
last year was 2,746,684, compared with
3,934,884 in 1904, a fall of 32 per cent.
Ninety-eight disputes were report-
ed to the Italian Labor Department
as having occurred during April, as
compared with 95 in the previous
month. The number of persons di-
rectly affected by 72 of these was
9,985, as compared with 19,743 who
took part in 70 of the disputes of
March. The group of trades in which
the largest number of disputes oc-
curred was the building; in this, there
were 18 disputes, 15 of which involved
2,078 workpeople. The agricultural
disputes, however, affected a greater
number of workpeople, 2,205 being in-
volved in 6 of the 7 disputes in this
group. Other groups of trades con-
siderably disturbed were the textile,
with 17 disputes (13 of which affected
T>343 workpeople), and the stones,
earth, clay, etc., trades, with 15
disputes, in 10 of which 823 persons
were affected.
Returns received from certain se-
lected British ports (at which 80 per
cent of the total tonnage in the for-
eign trade is entered and cleared)
slunv that during May 44.337 seamen,
of whom 5,416 (or 12.2 per cent) were
foreigners, were shipped on foreign-
going vessels. In 10 instances there
were increases, and in 7 there were
decreases as compared witli a year
ago, the net result being an increase
of 3,843 on the number shipped in
May, 1905. The principal increases
were at Liverpool, Glasgow, South-
ampton, and Bristol, and the princi-
pal decrease at London. During the
five completed months of 1906, 185,-
464 seamen were shipped, of whom
25,313 (or 13.6 per cent) were' for-
eigners. Compared with the corrcs-
I ling period of 1905, the only Ci
siderable decrease was at Swansea,
the net result being an increase on
the number shipped of 8,233 (or 4.6
per cent). The principal increases
were at Liverpool, Glasgow, South-
ampton, and Hull. Lascars, who are
engaged in Asia, are not included in

Representative Gardner, Chairman
of the House Committee on Labor,

Hour bill. The report in the main
is a reprint of the previous report on

Negotiations initiated by the au
thorities at Vienna, Austria, resulted

workngmen, on the basis of an ad-
vance of 15 per cent in wages.
President Gompcrs of the American
Federation of Labor, has sent repre-
sentatives to Chicago to arrange tor

the fair is to celebrate the achieve-
ments of organized labor throughout

Slates.
A question of long standing was
settled at the recent convention of the
International Steel and Copper Plate
Printers' Union, when resolutions
were adopted declaring that it would
he detrimental to them to affiliate
with any union of plate engravers un-
til all local unions of that trade arc
amalgamated under the banner of the
American Federation of Labor.
No less than 222 disputes, two of
which were lockouts, were reported to'
the French Labor Department as hav-
ing begun in April, of which 45 re-
sulted from the demand of printers,
affiliated to the Fernch Federation
of Printers and Bookbinders, for a 9
hours' day without reduction of, or
with an increase of wages, and which
should consequently be considered as
"tuting a single movement.
Saturday half-holidays during the
months of June, August and Septem-
ber have been granted by President
Roosevelt to the skilled mechanics
and laborers, and all employes in the
classified services at the navy yards
and naval stations of the United
Stales. The same benefit is extended,
in another general order, to the skilled
mechanics, laborers and employes in
the classified service of the Govern-
ment Printing Office at Washington

Judge R. E. Lewis in the United
States District Court at Denver, Col.,
on June 22, dismissed the suit of
Michael Gibbon, former Police Magis-
trate of Victor, Col., for $30,000 dam-
against the military commission
appointed by Sherman M. Bell, Adju-
tant-General of the Colorado National
Guard, to investigate the cases of
prisoners who were thrown into the
"bull pen" during the labor war of
1904 in the Cripple Creek mining dis-
trict. The court decided that it could
not go behind the Governor's procla-
mation of martial law.
The Executive Council of the
American Fderation of Labor, at its
meeting which adjourned on June 22,
discussed the subject of a universal
union label for the various interna-
tional unions. President Gompers
was authorized to sound the attitude
of the unions and report the result to
the Executive Council for action at
the next general convention. The
Executive Council discussed the
political programme already inaugu-
rated, and President Gompers, Vice-
President Duncan and Treasurer Len-
non were appointed a committee to
report their views to the Executive
Council and to keep the workmen of
the country and their friends
acquainted with the political move-
ment.

men had just been sentenced to jail.
"Your Honor," said their lawyer,
"this is pretty severe. You know the

the jail authorities cannot afford to

One Way to Learn. — "I think," said
the gay youth's father, "it's about
time you -topped this foolishness and
began to acquire a little wisdom."
"My scheme," replied the youth,
"is to acquire wisdom by first deter-
mining how foolish I can be."
Sure of That. — "I suppose,' said the
tenderfoot, preparing to mount Ul*

have all right with me and then again
he may not."
"Well," replied the wise cowboy,
"it's a toss up."

that he doesn't expect to contribute

yelled the urchin, as Subbubs rushed
by with his arms full of bundles.
"What is it?" asked the nervous

"About two minutes," replied the
boy, dodging out of the way.
Something Fierce. — "It seems to me
my wife is always buying medicines."
"Well, mine doesn't go in much for

FURUSETH, DICTATOR!
FOR REASONS best known to itself the
United Shipping: and Transportation Asso-
ciation has come off the high horse long
enough to make an explanation of its "nothing-
to-arbitrate" attitude. Heretofore the Association
has vouschafed the public nothing more than a
curt refusal to meet the seamen. Presumably,
the Association has found its dignity too painful
to be maintained, so it has given out a statement
of its reasons for refusing to arbitrate. The As-
sociation's statement is as follows:
On June 5 Mr. Furuseth succeeded in practically
tying up the entire shipping interests of this city.
Since that time the commerce of the port has
about resumed its normal condition. The steam-
ers of the several transpacific lines are arriving
and departing as usual. The Pacific Coast Com-
pany is operating fourteen of its seventeen steam-
ships. Of the fifty-seven steam-schooners in the
lumber business that were tied up all of them that
were not in need of repairs have been sent to sea
and some of them have made as many as three
round trips since that time.
Owners of several steam-schooners, whose obli-
gations compelled them to run their vessels for
the time being under Mr. Furuseth's rules and
regulations, have found his conditions unbearable
and are now employing sailors not connected with
his organization.
The best evidence that the situation has been
grossly misrepresented by Furuseth and that the
steamship owners have been able to do business
is the fact that during the month of June there
has been delivered at this port a total of about
25,000,000 feet of lumber by the steamships of our
organization, operating with non-union crews.
Besides this a large amount of lumber has been
carried to southern ports and elsewhere on the
Coast.
The reports circulated that the steamship own-
ers are willing to meet the sailors are not true.
They consider Mr. Furuseth unreliable and know
that he will not keep his contracts. Besides, they
believe that he and his little band of "chair warm-
ers" that hang around what he calls "headquar-
ters" do not represent the sailors of this Coast.
The steamship owners are not opposed to or-
ganized labor, but they believe that an Ameri-
can citizen, or for that matter any other decent
man that desires to work, should have the privi-
lege of going to sea on an American ship without
asking permission from an organzation that ad-
mits that 97 per cent of its members are for-
eigners.
The owners do not propose to arbitrate with
Mr. furuseth or recognize him in any manner.
Whatever else may be said of the Association's
explanation (?) no one can reasonably charge it
with being at all high-toned; in this respect the
latest statement suffers by comparison with that
body's previous attitude of contemptuous silence.
The statement here reproduced is, in fact, a falsi-
fication so palpable as to be positively ridiculous.
"On June 5 Mr. Furuseth succeeded in practi-
cally tying up the entire shipping interests of this
city." 'That statement is a lie, and the Associa-
tion knows it to be a lie. The tie-up was caused
by the act of t he Association in locking out a
large number of men — longshoremen, as well as
Seamen— in no way affected by the seamen's de-
mands. How could Furuseth possibly tie up the
Pacific Mail steamers, which never have carried
a single union seaman in their crews?
I low could Furuseth tie up the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company's vessels, which
were in no way involved in the dispute between
steam-schooner seamen and steam-schooner own-
ers? The Association knows, and in fact has
admitted, that the lockout and consecpient tie-up
were caused by the Association itself, ostensibly
as a means of anticipating the probable action of
the seamen, but in reality as a means of bringing
pressure to bear upon the latter to force them
back to work on the steam-schooners upon the
terms offered by the owners of these vessels — that
is, upon the terms dictated by the Association and
the Citizens' Alliance.
The Association's explanation (?) is equally
false throughout, both in what it says and in
what it implies. Referring to the statement con-
cerning the owners of several steam-schooners
"whose obligations compelled them to run their
vessels for the time being under Mr. Furuseth's
rules and regulations," the fact is that many, if
not all, these owners were satisfied with the
"rules and regulations," but were forced to lock
out their union crews by the Association's threat
that unless they did so they would be refused
cargoes. The statement that these -owners are
"now employing sailors not connected with his
( Furuseth's) organization" is contrary to the
known facts of the case. The plain truth is that
neither these owners nor any other owners oper-
ating under the "rules and regulations" of the
Association are employing sailors of any kind.
Not a single sailor or person of any sea ex-
perience has been secured by the Association,
despite the most desperate, not to say expensive,
efforts to secure that class of labor. The Asso-
ciation vessels are manned, so far as they are
manned at all, by green hands, by landsmen, en-
ticed on board under gross misrepresentation,
frequently shanghaied outright, and then kept on
board against their will by sheer force. In a
word, the Association vessels are being run in
direct violation of law.
Of course, the substance and animus of the
Association.^ statement of its reasons for refusing
to arbitrate with the seamen are obvious to ev-
ery person of common intelligence. The Asso-
ciation dislikes Furuseth, and in order to "get
even" with him it has embarked upon an enter-
prise to destroy "his organization." Thus the As-
sociation hopes to kill two birds with one stone,
to accomplish the destruction of all maritime
unions — the prime object of its existence— and
to discredit the man who, more than any other
in the labor movement, has incurred its hatred
by compelling its respect and fear.
The position of the Association might be log-
ical but for two things. First, the seamen's or-
ganization is not "Furuseth's organization"; sec-
ondly, that organization can not be destroyed by
any "method of attack, however successful, upon
its members or officials.
The Association, in its attitude toward Furu-
seth and "In- organization," shows a glaring lack
of knowledge concerning the true character of
the seamen's unions. The idea of the Associa-
tion evidently is that the seamen are organized
under the padrone system, entirely subservient
to the will of a "boss," who, in the present 111
stance, is Mr. Furuseth. When tie Association
says that Furuseth is "unreliable" and that he
"will not keep his contracts," it apparently means
that Furuseth can not be relied upon to supply
a given amount of labor at any price contracted
for between himself and the shipowner, just as
though seamen were so much merchandise having
no more interest in the question of wages or other
conditions of employment than a bale of dry
goods may be supposed to have in the market
price of cotton or calico, it is natural, perhaps,
that men accustomed, as are the leading spirits
of the Association, to deal with Chinese should
become impatient with anyone who is unable to
''produce the goods." But the Association has
only itself to blame in this connection. The
trouble lies, not in Furuseth's "unreliability," but
in the Association's mistaken conception of that
individual's powers and functions as a member
and official of the seamen's (not Furuseth's) or-
ganization. Furuseth has never made any con-
tract such as is implied by the Association. How,
then, can he be regarded as "unreliable" in the
performance of such contract?
The seamen's unions, as in the case of the
labor organization in general, are founded upon
democratic principles. In the conduct of their
business every member is entitled to, and in fact
exercises, the freest possible voice and vote. The
will of the majority, not that of any one or more
officials governs in every action. Whatever in-
fluence may be wielded by Furuseth or any other
member is derived from experience and ability,
not from any authority, either assumed or dele-
gated. ... „
The United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation may be ignorant of these facts, but
those shipowners who have had business rela-
tions with the unions are well aware of them.
These latter gentlemen know that Furuseth, so
far from being a contractor of seamen's labor,
is merely a servant of the unions, governed in
all his acts by the instructions of the latter; they
know, too, that, so far from being a "dictator"
of the shipowners' affairs, Furuseth is essentially
a conservative, disposed at all times to consult
tin' shipowners' interests equally with those of his
own associates. The shipowners of the Pacific
Coast know in their heart of hearts, and admit
in the moments of their self-communion, if not
more openly, that in the matter of reasonable
and profitable relations with their employes they
owe more to Andrew Furuseth than to any other
man, or even to themselves. The shipowners
know that the assault now being made by the
Association upon the Secretary of the Sailors'
Union must, so far as it succeeds in its object,
injure them even more than it injures Furuseth
or the seamen's unii ill
The Association can not hope to discredit Finn
seth in the opinion of the seamen or the public.
The utmost that body can hope to do is to deni
onstrate its own absolute lack of truthfulness or
any other principle. The Association may suc-
ceed ill putting Furuseth in jail, as n is now
trying to do through the medium ol the injunc-
tion process. Hut even that achievement will
accomplish nothing, either to the advantage of
thi Association or to the injury of Furuseth
or the seamen's unions.
In any event, the attacks upon Furuseth,

struction of the seamen's unions. These organiza-
tions are not dependent for their existence upon
any one official or set of officials; they are founded
upon necessity and will live as long as they are
needed. Which reminds us that the Association
itself, by proving the need of organization on the
part of the seamen, is one of the things that
make the continued existence of the seamen's
unions an absolute certainty.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Who Is to Blame?
In the strike now on between the sailors and
the shipowners, where so many interests suffer,
the question of who is to blame for such a con-
test at this time is asked naturally. Some blame
the sailors, others the shipowners, and still others
blame one as much as the other. As a matter
of fact, the real cause of the trouble goes straight
back to the Citizen's Alliance organization, which
has been defeated so often in their attempt to
get control of both the political and the indus-
trial situation of San Francisco. Being unable
to operate longer with any success in the open,
where the public sees what is going on, the union-
smashing elements responsible for the formation
of this organization have decreed to operate in se-
cret, and are busily engaged in all kinds of un-
derhand schemes aimed at the destruction of the
labor unions so rapidly growing in power on this
coast. The writer has witnessed with his own
eyes documents that constitute conclusive proof
that the present trouble is due to a contract ex-
isting between the shipowners and the United
Shipping and Transportation Association, which
places the control of the present situation, so far
as the shipowners are concerned, in the hands
of the Citizens' Alliance. Every shipowner con-
cerned stands pledged in the present case to do
the bidding of this arch enemy of unionism, and
as a guarantee that he will live up to this pledge,
each member affiliated with the association has
posted a forfeit. The contest being waged is not
of the small increase in wages asked for by the
sailors. Were this the real and only question
at stake the sailors would have been granted their
$5 a month increase long ago. The real cause
of the present struggle is due to a ravenous am-
bition on the part of the Citizen's Alliance to
gain complete control over the labor market of
San Francisco and the Pacific Coast in general.
This can be realized only by destroying the power
of organized labor and restoring in its place a
spirit of Asiatic servility. The Sailors' Union of
the Pacific is the object of attack at present, but
if this organization could be put out of commis-
sion the attack will be extended to other or-
ganizations until one by one they all are de-
stroyed. The Sailors' Union is to-day fighting
the fight of all unions. A victory for them at
this time will be a victory for all as truly as a de-
feat would mean a serious blow to every other
labor organization.
The negotiations had been in progress for
months before the strike was declared, and had
not the earthquake disaster befallen San Fran-
cisco the chances are that the increase would
have been granted ere this, as is shown by the
fact that the shipowners began to pay the in-
crease in a number of instances as soon as the
time set by the sailors arrived. But, seeing the
shattered condition in which the forces of labor
were through being impoverished and burned out
of house and home after the earthquake, the
Citizens' Alliance concluded this would be an
ideal time to deal a death-blow to the Sailors'
Union, and incidentally weaken every other union.
Hence the fierce fight being put up against the
union, in which the enemies of the union go to
the extreme of forcing vessels to discharge their
union crews with whom they have no grievance.
When the strike was declared the Citizens' Al-
liance did not want it settled because they con-
sidered this a most opportune time to get in
their union-wrecking work. They hoped to gain
the sympathy of the public and the support of
some of the unions. But all indications now
point toward the sailors being assured public
sympathy in their struggle as well as the united
support of all other organizations if it comes
down to a fight to a finish. When the ship-
owners realize this they may be more disposed
to settle than they were a month ago. The time
may have looked favorable to the Citizens' Alli-
ance for waging a successful battle against union-
ism, but the very elements that made victory
look plausible to them in the beginning may be
the means of bringing about their own defeat,
as has been the case in so many instances be-
fore.— Labor News, Eureka, Cal.
Association's Crimping Methods.
The United Shipping and Transportation Asso-
ciation refuses emphatically to arbitrate the strike
and lockout which is tying up the shipping busi-
ness in this port. The shipowners assert that
they can easily get men. Therefore, why should
they arbitrate?
It is true that they can get men. Before there
was a Sailors' Union shipowners got men in
plenty — from sailor boarding houses. That meth-
od of getting men gave rise to endless trouble on
the water front, and gave the port a bad name
throughout the world. But it got the men, and
that was the chief concern of the shippers.
And now, apparently, a return is to be made
to the old conditions. A beginning has already
been made. Young McCormick, a student of the
University of California, who was drowned from
the luckless Corinthian, was shanghaied along
the water front since the beginning of the strike
and shipped aboard a steam-schooner as a non-
union sailor. The sailor boarding house people
can secure more men in the same way. They
may not, and probably will not, be able to sup-
ply crews for all the schooners, but it is always
easy to pick up a few men on the water front
at night and clap them aboard a steam-schooner
which is ready for sea.
Thanks to the Sailors' Union, San Francisco
has long been free from the sailor boarding
houses and crimps. They flourish in other Pa-
cific Coast ports, which, as a consequence, are
avoided by shippers whenever possible. But they
have long been out of business here, and the re-
sult has been that the port enjoys a good name
throughout the world.
The action of the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association in refusing to arbitrate the
strike can be based on nothing else than the belief
that it will be able to secure its sailors through
sailor boarding houses. There is no other way
they can be supplied save through the Sailors'
Union, and with the Sailors' Union the shipown-
ers refuse to deal.
The story of young McCormick is a sufficient
argument against any such plan of fighting the
union. The members of the union, for their part,
have agreed to arbitration.. The justice may not
be wholly on their side, but they are willing to
leave that to be decided by others. The ship-
owners, in the interests of San Francisco, can in
decency do nothing else.
A return to crimping and shangaiing is too high
a price to pay for the partial resumption of traffic
that can be brought about by ignoring the sailors
and filling up ships the easiest way.— Examiner,
San Francisco, Cal.
Refuse to Arbitrate.
Mayor Schmitz, of SanFrancisco, under date
of June 20, addressed a communication to the
Sailors' Union and one to the United Shipping
Association, praying those bodies to arbitrate
their differences in order to aid in the rebuild-
ing of the stricken city. Immediately upon re-
ceipt of the Mayor's communication, Andrew
Furuseth, Secretary of the Sailors' Union, acting
for that body, notified the Mayor that the sailors
were "heartily willing to arbitrate." The Ship-
ping Association waited several days and then
returned an answer that was equivalent to a
refusal.
Again the Mayor addressed the Association,
but no satisfactory answer has been returned.
The Association has determined upon the destruc-
tion of the Sailors' Union and no question of
humanity for the sufferers in San Francisco or
of sympathy for the thousands in other ports
who will be affected appeals to them.
The advance of civilization which has brought
arbitration forward for the settlement of dis-
putes is ignored or unknown to the Association.
Its policy is rule or ruin and in this case it de-
sires to do both. The sailors offer to submit
the points in controversy to a joint committee.
The Association refuses any settlement short of
absolute submission upon the part of the men
who do the work. The Egyptian tyrant who
forced slaves to build the pyramids at the point
of the knout was no more merciless than the
members of the Association are.
An enlightened public sentiment finds nothing
in the attitude of the Association worthy of sup-
port. The sailors have gained many supporters
by the action of Secretary Furuseth. In this con-
test, the sailors deserve to win and will win. —

End of the Alliance.
The Citizens' Alliance of San Francisco was
not shattered into fragments by the earthquake.
The mercenary mob is still doing business at
the old stand and is resorting to desperate meas-
ures to aid the shipping trust of the Pacific Coast
in defeating the efforts of the Seamen's Union.
The Citizens' Alliance of California will have its
days of strength just as the Citizens' Alliance
of Colorado. The seeds of its own destruction
are planted in the organization, but before it be-
comes defunct in California organized labor will
know that it lived and had its being.
The Citizens' Alliance is dead in Colorado, and
that organization in California will breathe its
last when the parasites wage war against each
other for the spoils. — Miners' Magazine, Denver,
Colo.
Public Favors the Seamen.
If union longshoremen "stand pat" in their pres-
ent attitude — and we believe they will — the lock-
out of union sailors, firemen, and ship cooks and
stewards will soon be a thing of the past — a cost-
ly memory to the Pacific Coast Company.
The shipowners say they "won't arbitrate,"
which means that they will be beaten in their
fight against the Sailors' Union; for the public
invariably gives the fellow who won't arbitrate
to understand that it deems the other fellow
right. — Seattle (Wash.) Union-Record.
The Matson Navigation Company, which re-
cently established a line of steamers connecting
San Francisco with Portland and Hawaiian ports,
is to have a strong competitor in the American-
Hawaiian line. The Nevadan, to sail this week,
will call at Portland, going thence to Seattle, Ta-
coma, Honolulu, Kahului, Kaanapali and Hilo be-
fore returning to San Francisco. The Nevadan
is loading a large amount of freight for the
various ports.
Until a new register is secured for the steamer
Montara the vessel now loaded with freight and
ready to sail from Seattle, for San Francisco will
be classed as denaturalized by the United States
Government, and a fine of about $1600 is hanging
over the ship. It came about as a result of the
Montara putting into port from Japan without
flag or register, and is the outcome of the seizure
of the vessel by a Japanese war vessel.
Captain Alonzo Noble Moffat, who recently
passed away, was buried on July 14, in Mountain
View Cemetery, Oakland, the funeral being under
the auspices of the Royal Arcanum. The de-
ceased was 56 years old, and for the past ten
years was identified with Coast shipping between
San Francisco and Puget Sound. The second son
of Captain Alonzo Moffat, James Moffat, is an
officer on the liner Korea, now in the Orient.
According to advices received at Victoria, B.
C, negotiations being carried on at Washington,
D. C, for the cessation of pelagic sealing on the
basis of the purchase of the Victoria and Hako-
date sealing fleets and indemnification of the pe-
lagic sealers for the loss of their "industry, have
been almost concluded.
On the charge of violating the Immigration
laws, Captain E. S. Gaines, master of the British
ship Lynden, was arrested at Seattle, Wash., on
July 15. Captain Gaines allowed a sick seaman
by the name of Freerire to go ashore at Port
Townsend, where the Lynden is lying, without
the permission of the Immigration officials.
The Bureau of Equipment is making a contract
for the establishment of naval wireless telegraph
stations on the Pacific Coast, the first of the
stations to be at Cape Flattery. Five other sta-
tions will be installed as soon as possible, the
Navy Department expending for this purpose
$65,000.
E. W. Tucker has filed a libel in the United
States District Court at San Francisco, against
the steamer Buckman for $542. He claims that
that sum is due him for converting the furnaces
on the Buckman from coal burners to oil burn-
ers.
The steamer Rosecrans, from St. Michael,
Alaska, arrived at San Francisco on July 5 in
ballast, having in tow the schooner Santiago.
They went to the northern ports a month ago,
oil laden.

IMPROVED WITH AGE.
The following is taken from the Boston
Post:
The reconstructed steamer J. Putnam Brad-
lee, known now as the Adelaide, will begin
running to Nahant on Sunday next.
The Bradlee will be remembered by Bos-
tonians as the municipal steamer which ran
about Boston Harbor for thirty years. Three
years ago she was sold by the city because
she was considered unsafe for 400 children,
but now, renovated and repaired, she will be
allowed to convey 700 passengers on each trip
between Boston and Nahant.
The J. Putnam Bradlee cost the city $43,819
and was sold in 1905 for $2957 to New York
parties, who sold her to John Darners & Co.,
ship brokers.
The latter firm claims to have spent over
$9000 on her since they acquired her. The
hull was repaired and the ship calked and
strengthened ; the boiler was thoroughly reno-
vated and can now carry 45 pounds of steam.
Besides this, new life preservers, fire hose, four
metal life-boats and one new raft have been
added to her equipment.
Despite these alterations and improvements,
considerable surprise is expressed in shipping
circles that a permit for 700 passengers should
have been granted a boat that was formerly
unsafe for 400.
Captain George Barbour, one of the owners
of the new line, commented on this increase as
follows :
"When I purchased the Adelaide I knew that
she had formerly been known as the J. Putnam
Bradlee, but I did not care about her past
as long as she was safe and fast.
"I have been in the excursion business in
Maine for fifteen years without an accident of
any kind, and I think I know a safe boat when
I see one. The Bradlee had a permit for 300
passengers because that was all they asked
for. The Favorite, a smaller boat, which ran
to Nahant last year, had a permit for 1000.
We satisfied the Government Inspectors that
the boat could carry 700 people and they grant-
ed us a permit."
Is it really necessary to comment further ?
Organized labor of the city of Boston has
protested against the appointment by Gover-
nor Guild of Wm. F. Dana, to be Associate
Justice of the Superior Court. The appoint-
ment, however, was conferred by the Gov-
ernor's Council.
Before taking a vote the Council gave a
hearing to the protest of the Boston Central
Labor Union. The protest is based upon the
ground of Mr. Dana's record in the State
Senate, of which he is at present the Presi-
dent, as being always against any and all
labor measures, and it is believed that he is
unable to go on the judicial bench with
unbiased mind.
The Gloucester schooner Parthia, and the
Boston schooner Raymah, which were seized
on May 8 by the Canadian Government off
Cape North charged with fishing within the
th^e-mile limit in violation of treaty rights,
have been released by the Canadian authori-
ties upon payment of $1000 fine each.
FAILURE TO LOWER BOATS.
Captain Montague has been severely criti-
cised for his failure to lower boats to aid the
crew of the Erin, and in the litigation which
is almost certain to precede the settlement of
the case, his action will bear heavily against
his company. However, prominent vessel-
men state there are several important circum-
stances which governed his action and they
must be recognized. In the first place, he was
heavily laden. He was also going at prac-
tically full speed, and furthermore, the cur-
rent at the point of collision is quite rapid.
Some experienced men say that it would have
been impossible for him to have stopped near
the wreck of the Erin. Furthermore, he called
to his mate to man the boats previous to
striking the Erin, and told the watchman to
call the men, so all three say. Captain Monta-
gue remained on the pilot house all the time
giving necessary orders. His mate reported
to him that the Cowles' forepeak was nearly
full, and that it was hardly possible for the col-
lision bulkhead to hold. Captain Montague
had slowed down, but when he received this
alarming information he edged over toward
shore, believing it would be necessaiy to beach
his boat. At this time, which was some fifteen
minutes after the Cowles struck the Erin, his
boats were in the water, but he was more than
a mile below the wreck of the Erin. He
learned that the Danforth had two boats over-
board, and also that the Anchor line steamer
Alaska was at the wreck of the Erin, and
fearing he might sink, and seeing clearly that
he could be of no assistance to the crew of
the Erin, he kept on his course.
It is almost certain that under no circum-
stances could he have been of any service to
the crew of the Erin, but sentiment will be
against him, and one of the highest authorities
in admiralty on the chain of Lakes believes
that it will be a nice point in the settlement
of the case.
NEW PASSENGER SERVICE.
With the resumption of direct service, Bos-
ton to St. John, on the International division,
from Union wharf, a new steamer,
the Huron, late of the Clyde line,
joins the magnificent fleet of white
flyers already in service between Boston and
all points East, operated by the Eastern Steam-
ship Company. The Huron goes in commis-
sion as a companion steamer to the St. Croix,
plying coastwise in place of the Calvin Austin,
between Boston and St. John, touching at
Portland, Eastport and Lubec.
As in the case of all the other steamers of
the Eastern Steamship Company, this new re-
cruit has every modern appliance for comfort,
luxury and safety. The Huron is a propeller,
and was built in Philadelphia in 1902. She
is 291 feet long, 43 feet breadth and 21 feet
depth, with a gross tonnage of 2949 and 5000
horsepower. There are 75 staterooms, each
comfortable, commodious and well appointed,
of two berths each and sofa, chairs, etc. The
dining-room, a large and very attractive apart-
ment, is situated on the saloon deck. The ship
also has two social halls, one on the prom-
enade and one on the saloon deck, besides a
large smoking hall on the promenade deck.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Atlantic Coast Marine Firemen's Union
recently held a meeting of its Executive Board
in New York, for the purpose of considering
important business of the organization.
In reply to a request for his influence to
have union stone cutters employed at the Ca-
thedral of St. John the Divine, now under con-
struction at New York, Bishop Potter has
written to the Central Federated Union of that
city that he has no authority in the matter.
He advised the central body to confer with
the Rev. Dr. W. P. Huntington, chairman of
the committee.
The British steamer Indrawadi recently ar-
rived at Boston from the Orient with what
might be called a "rainbow" crew; Chinese,
Malay and a few Anglo-Saxons. The advan-
tage to the shipowner of carrying Chinese can
be best seen by comparing the following "bill
of fare" furnished them, with what it takes
to feed an Anglo-Saxon :
Each meal — 2 pounds rice, 1-4 pound salt
fish, 1-4 pound split peas, 1-4 ounce salt, 1 1-4
ounces all kinds of spices, 1 ounce of grease,
1-8 ounce tea, 2 ounces sugar, 6 ounces bis-
cuits.
The master of the Indrawadi reports that
during the voyage out he carried a passenger,
a blase New Yorker, who taught the Chinese
and Malays that beautiful ditty, "Everybody
Works But Father," and now the crew uses
the song- as a hvmn !
Charged with violating the Federal Eight-
Hour law, William H. Ellis, a Boston con-
tractor, was taken into custody recently by
Deputy United States Marshal Waters, on
complaint of W. Cameron, business agent of
the Carpenters' District Council, of Boston.
When arraigned before United States Commis-
sioner Hayes, the defendant pleaded not guilty
and was held in $100 on his personal
recognizance for a hearing.
The complaint is the first of its kind ever
made in the Federal Court. It alleges that
Contractor Ellis willfully caused five of his
workmen to labor nine hours on a Govern-
ment contract, "no extraordinary emergency
requiring said laborers to work on said public
works more than eight hours on said day."
Ellis claims, it is understood, that he was be-
hind on his contract and that the men were
willing to work.
For violations of the Federal Eight-HOur
law the statute provides a fine of not more
than $1000 or not more than six months' im-
prisonment, or both.
Two big five-stickers, the Nathaniel T.
Palmer, in command of Captain Wormcll,
which took aboard 4,400 tons of coal at Nor-
folk, and the George R. Hudson (formerly
the Fannie Palmer, of the Palmer fleet),
Captain Gardner, from Newport News, left
the Virginia Capes together in a friendly
race up the Coast. The former craft reached
Boston far ahead of the latter.

SAN PEDRO, CAL.
In an effort to stop the brutal crim-
inal attacks on women and children
which have been so prevalent in Chi-
cago recently, the City Council has
unanimously passed a resolution rec-
ommending capital punishment for
such outrages.
The State Department has hern di-
rected by the President to appoint
David Lubin, of Sacramento, Cal.,
permanent delegate to the Interna-
tional Institute of Agriculture at
Rome, Italy.
The management of the llarriman
lines. after experiments extending
through long periods, has adopted
steel as the material to be used in the
construction of all passenger equip-
ment and of all box cars and of other
ears which will permit of such con-
struction. In the case of freight cars
or box cars the company is construct-
ing them almost entirely of steel, the
floors even being of this material.
It leaked out that through the rival-
ry among the 500 St. Louis Chinese
and the information furnished by
Frank Tape formerly of San Francis
co, the immigration authorities have
discovered that a mysterious syndi-
cate, probably operating from Port-
land, Ore., is issuing to Chinese who
have landed upon American soil since
the exclusion act went into effect,
counterfeit immigration certificates.
Promptly at 10 o'clock, on June 30.
Vice-President Fairbanks in the Sen-
ate, and Speaker Cannon in the House
declared the final adjournment of the
session of the Fifty-ninth Congress.
For the first time Congress adjourned
on the day wdiich closed the fiscal
year. Other sessions had adjourned
before and some after June 30, but
the Fifty-ninth Congress ended its
first session on the day when the
Government strikes its balance and
closes its books.
By the death of Governor John M.
Pattison, at his home near Cincin-
nati, the Republican party comes into
full control of Ohio. At the election
last November the Republicans swept
the State, as usual, electing the entire
ticket, with the exception of Myron
T. Herrick, who was overwhelmingly
defeated for re-election to the Gov-
ernorship. Now Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, Andrew L. Harris, succeeds to
the chief executiveship, and the
Ohio Democracy is left without a
leader.
The Governors of a dozen States
have accepted the invitation of the
Iowa Legislature to appoint commis-
sioners to attend the conference in
Des Moines in September to devise
means to secure an amendment to
the Federal Constitution making
United States Senators elective by
the people instead of by legislatures.
Among the tSates which have ac-
cepted the invitation issued by Gov-
ernor Cummings on the authority of
the Legislature are New York, Ne-
braska, Georgia and Kentucky.
The total appropriations made at
this session of Congress, including
those carried in the regular appropri-
ation accounts, all deficiencies, mis-
cellaneous matters and permanent an-
nual appropriations, aggregate $880,-
183,301. This is an apparent increase
of $60,000,000 over the appropriations
made at the last session of Congress.
This is more than accounted for in
the three following items. For the
Isthmian canal, $42,447,000; under the
statehood bill, $10,250,000; toward the
construction of new buildings auth-
orized at this session, $10,321,000,
making a total of $63,018,000, to which
might properly be added $5,000,000
for San Francisco.

The American ship Agenor, previously reported
as supposed to be ashore at Yokushima, Japan,
was really ashore, and is now reported to be a
total loss, according to a London (Eng.) telegram.
The oversea traffic between San Francisco and
the Atlantic ports was twice as great in value, the
merchandise exported amounting to nearly $65,-
000,000, and the incoming merchandise at $45,250,-
000. The traffic has gained steadily during a se-
ries of years, notwithstanding that the grain ex-
ports have been decreasing.
Samuel Bonnifield, who was master of the
schooner J. B. Stetson when that vessel was in
collision recently, off the coast of Washington,
with the barkentine Jane L. Stanford, and whose
license was suspended for six months by the
Local Inspectors at Seattle, has appealed his case
to Captain John Bermingham, Supervising In-
spector.
The Pacific Mail liner Mongolia is in the dry-
dock at Hunter's Point, San Francisco, where
two new propellers are being placed in position.
They are slightly larger than the old ones, and arc
expected to prove more economical as well as
faster. The liner will return to the new Mail dock
and begin to load a cargo for the Orient, sailing
on Friday, July 20.
The new German steamer Sctos, of the Kosmos
line, arrived at San Francisco on July 11 from
Hamburg by way of other European ports and
the west coast of South and Central America and
Mexico. Leaving Hamburg on March 2, the Setos
called at thirty ports on the long run to San Fran-
cisco. She brought a cargo of 1720 tons of
freight, including large shipments of nitrate and
coffee.
The schooner Falcon has been purchased by
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. from the Coast Shipping
Company for $8500, and will be used to transport
sheep from Juan Fernandez, otherwise known as
Robinson Crusoe's Island, to the mainland of
Chile. The Falcon is to first go to Grays Har-
bor and load a cargo of lumber for Valparaiso,
where the master will deliver the vessel to her
new owners.
The Japanese government has enacted legisla-
tion for the protection of fur seals, specifying
close areas and close seasons for fur seals and
sea otter, and also restricting the nature of the
hunting boats and apparatus, as well as the
method of hunting. The ordinance also pro-
hibits the killing of animals under a specified age
limit. The law came into force at the com-
mencement of July.
The British tramp steamer Sutherland, Captain
Wallace, arrived at San Francisco on July 12,
forty-nine days from Manila, P. I., thirty-six days
from Iloilo and twenty-four days from Mororan,
bringing an immense consignment of 147,830
bags of sugar for the Western Sugar Refinery,
and a shipment of 2000 bales of hemp. Other
sugar cargoes are said to have been purchased in
the Far East by the same refinery.
Braving winds and storms, the ship Lisbeth,
140 days from Hamburg, arrived at San Pedro,
Cal., on July 10. The Lisbeth carried nearly
25,000 barrels of cement, consigned to Los An-
geles merchants. The vessel experienced great
difficulty in ronuding Cape Horn. The rigging
was shattered, and for days the ship battled
against the weather until repairs had been com-
pleted.
The ship Andre Theodore, at Honolulu, T. H.,
from Cardiff, Wales, reports having experienced
a remarkable phenomenon, which was apparently
caused by an earthquake, on the afternoon of
April 18. The log entry made at that time shows
that the vessel was violently agitated for forty-
five seconds. The rough sea became suddenly
confused. The vessel was south of Australia when
the phenomenon was experienced.
First of the whaling barks to be heard from
this season is the Alice Knowles, Captain Mont-
gomery, which has reported at Hakodate, Japan,
with a catch of 1200 pounds of bone, 100 barrels
of oil and 500 barrels of sperm oil. The news
comes by way of New Bedford, Mass., her home
port. As the Knowles is still to cruise in the
Okhotsk for right whales, it is likely that she will
return with the best catch she has made in years.
A number of soda-water stands on the San
Francisco water front were recently raided by the
State Harbor policemen and Chief Wharfinger
Welch, some of these places having begun to sell
intoxicating liquors with ginger ale. All the
whisky found by Chief Whrfinger Welch and his
men was dumped into the street, and the dealers
were informed that they would be driven from the
water front if they again attempted to sell liquor
without a license.
A dispatch from Japan says that three Ameri-
can sealers, one Britisher and one Japanese, who
were imprisoned for sixteen months at Vladivo-
stok, have returned to Japan after being released.
One of the Americans was loaded with chains
while in confinement. They were members of
the crew of the Japanese scaling schooner Kyoi-
chi Maru, which was sunk by Russian cruisers
from Vladivostok off Saghalien in 1903, and the
sealers were taken to Vladivostok on the cruiser
Gromoboi.
The British steamer Dumbarton, owned by the
Barneson-Hibberd Company, has finally reached
Japan, but in an unseaworthy condition. A tele-
gram from London announced that the steamer
had arrived at Hakodate. Her tail shaft is defec-
tive, and all the remaining cargo will be dis-
charged. The Dumbarton sailed from San
Francisco on September 25 last for Nicolaefsk,
but went ashore on November 7 in the Gulf of
Tartary. She was floated recently and taken in
tow for Japan.
The officers of the steamer Lansing, at San
Francisco from Philadelphia, Pa., report that the
old ferry boat Olympian, which left San Fran-
cisco last January in tow of the steamer Zealandia

100 yards up on the beach from deep water.
Consular Agent Braun, at Funta Arenas, told
Captain Connor of the Lansing that he intended
to float the Olympian, and could easily do so
with fifty men.
The largest oil carrier in the Pacific is the
steamer Lansing, which arrived at San
Francisco on July 14, from Philadelphia,
Pa„ by way of Montevideo and the Straits of
Magellan with a general cargo. The Lansing
comes to enter the service of the Union Steam-
ship Company, an adjunct of the Union Oil Com-
pany, and is to ply between San Francisco and
Hawaii. Her capacity is 46,000 barrels of oil, or
nearly twice as much as that of any other tank
steamer now in the trade.
Henry Hackney, late third-mate of the Ameri-
can ship Atlas, arrived at San Francisco on July
15, as a passenger from Japan, on the United
States Army transport Sherman. He brought a
tale of cruelty that savors of the old hell-ship
days, and of brutality so inhuman and pronounced
that every member of the crew of the Atlas left
the vessel upon her arrival in Japan. The Atlas,
commanded by Captain Amberman, arrived at
Honolulu, T. fl., on July 15, where an investiga-
tion will probably be made.
During the year 7905 four hundred and twenty-
nine steamers arrived at San Francisco from for-
eign ports, with a total cargo capacity of over
1,000,000 tons, and three hundred and twenty-
three sailing vessels with over 400,00c tons. There
sailed to foreign lands six hundred and ninety-
four steamers with a capacity if nearly 1,000,000
tons. The increase annually in the value of ex-
ports to the Orient is over $10,000,000; it amount-
ed to $10,000,000 during 1903, increased to $20,-
000,000 for 1904, and to $32,000,000 in 1905.
Laden with coal and supplies for the ice-bound
whalers in the Arctic, the steamer Harold Dollar
sailed from San Francisco on July 11, under com-
mand of Captain Milton Timing, for Herschel
Island. Captain Thwing expects to reach Her-
schel by August 10. Some of the whaling vessels
may, however, be encountered before that time,
but the opinion prevails that most, if not all, of
the whalers will be unable to move until a fresh
supply of coal is obtained. The Harold Dollar
carries a very full and complete cargo of all
kinds of supplies.
The Pacific Mail liner Mongolia went to a
berth at one of the new Mail docks in San Fran-
cisco on July 4, and was the first steamer of the
line to occupy a slip at the new wharves. It had
been announced that the Mongolia would prob-
ably go to Oakland to discharge her eastern
freight, but this order was countermanded, and
the Mongolia sent to one of the new
docks at the foot of Second street. Her cargo of
7,000 tons of Oriental freight will be discharged
without delay, tracks connecting with the South-
ern Pacific Railroad having already been laid
from the new docks.

Among the advantages claimed for the in-
creasing popular passenger ships of large size
and moderate speed should he mentioned the
fact that many of them are showing in regular
service a rate of speed which is fully as high
as that which they maintained on their trials
in smooth wafer. Moreover, because of their
great weight and momentum and their mod-
erate speed they are not so greatly affected
by adverse weather conditions as the iaster
ships, and their coming and going is marked
by great regularity and a close adherence to
the sailing schedule.
If a 23 -knot ship runs into a heavy head
sea it must make a much greater reduction in
its speed than is necessary in a vessel, of, say,
15 to 17 knots speed, and, consequently, it will
be more liable to miss a tide and suffer a
night's detention, say, at Quarantine, New
York, than a ship of the slower type. As
showing how the big vessels of the intermedi-
ate type are running well up to their trial
speeds we may take the case of the Amcrika,
which in a recent passage from Cherbourg to
Sandy Hook of 3140 miles maintained an av-
erage speed of 17.31 miles an hour, while on
its preceding easterly passage it covered a dis-
tance of 3088 miles in seven days six hours
and twenty-four minutes, which works out as
an average speed of 17.71 miles an hour. The
high-speed liner, however, is not in any danger
of being forced out of the field by its slower
sisters, as witness the fact that the North Ger-
man Lloyd has under construction a twin ship
to the 23 1-2-knot Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse,
and that the Cunard Company will shortly put
a pair of 24 x-2 to 25-knot vessels in service.
So rapid is the increase in the number of
those who can afford to pay the highest rates
for Atlantic travel, and so great is the demand
for rapid transit on the part of those to whom
time is an object that we look to see a limited
number of 25-knot vessels built from time to
time for the Atlantic service. The majority of
the transatlantic liners of the future, however,
will undoubtedly be of the Amerika and the
Baltic type, for not only are these the ships
upon which the companies depend for the
greater part of their revenues, but because of
their steadiness, absence of vibration and the
more lengthy sea trip which they afford they
are becoming increasingly popular with the
traveling public— Scientific American.
It is likely there will be established a line of
steamers between the Baltic Sea ports, South
A friea and Australia. The cargo steamer Bia,
of the Swedish-South African Company,
which left Newcastle recently for Spain, with
a cargo of wheat, belongs to a line of four
steamers which have hitherto traded to South
Africa. Now it is reported that the com-
pany intends to build more ships and extend
the service to Australia, the steamers load-
ing at Baltic ports for the Cape, and then com-
ing ,„i here with part cargo. The steamers of
the line all have great carrying capacity, and
it is intended to provide two at least with re-
frigerated space for the carriage of produce
from Australia.
Wages, as affected by the sugar bonus in
New South Wales and Queensland (Aus-
tralia), is the subject of a report from United
States Consul F. W. Coding, of Newcastle.
Able-bodied laborers earn $7.30 to $8.57 per
week, without keep, and aboriginals $1.39 to

JULY 18, 1906.
VICTORY FOR SEAMEN ASSURED.
The most important development of the
week in the contest between the seamen's
unions and the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association and Citizens' Alliance
is the action of the Shipowners' Association
of the Pacific Coast in voting to join the
Transportation Association. The significance
of this action is more apparent than real. As
a matter of fact, the majority of the Ship-
owners' Association, who voted to join the
fight against the seamen's unions, own but a
small fraction of the tonnage represented in
that body. The members of the larger firms,
representing, say, 70 per cent of the sailing-
ship tonnage, are averse to making war upon
the organizations of their employes and will
probably either join hands with the latter or
maintain a neutral attitude. At any rate, it
seems certain that the attempt of the Trans-
portation Association to force a general lock-
out of all seamen, on sailing vessels as well
as on steamers, has failed. The accession of
a few sailing-ship owners to the ranks of the
Transportation Association will simply in-
crease the difficulty experienced by the lat-
ter body in finding crews for the vessels under
its control. The Association has played its
trump, and the latter has turned out to be a
mere "rag." Now that the full strength of
the Association has been developed, there
seems to be "nothing to it," except victory for
the unions in the very near future.
Of course, the Association has not ignored
that favorite recourse of employers in time
of labor disputes, namely, Government by In-
junction. The hope — even if it be but a dim
one — of putting Furuseth and other officials
of the seamen's unions in jail is too sweet
to forego. Injunctions are being sought in
the Federal courts, nominally for the purpose
of preventing interference by the seamen with
the "property rights" of the shipowners, but
actually for the purpose of securing the im-
prisonment of Secretary Furuseth. The ul-
timate purpose of this plot is, of course, to
destroy "his (Furuseth's) organization."
The futility of these hopes is apparent when
it is recognized that the existence of the union
does not depend upon any one man or set
of men. Doubtless the shipowners are labor-
ing under a real misconception on this score.
The success of their scheme to put Furuseth
in jail would be a good thing in itself, if only
by way of proving that "his organization" can
walk, and fight, by itself.
Despite the utmost efforts of the Associa-
tion to secure non-union crews, the conditions
in that respect remain as before. At the end
of six weeks not a single seaman has been
procured by the Association. The vessels un-
der the control of that body are being sent
to sea literally unmanned, the small number
of men secured by the crimps being "greenies"
of the rankest kind. The most desperate ef-
forts have been made by the Association to
procure men for its vessels. Crimps and em-
ployment agents have scoured every section
of the country, the Gulf, the Lakes, the At-
lantic Coast, and even Mexico. A consider-
able number of men have been picked up in
this way and shipped West in care of the
most notorious gun-fighters and professional
strike-breakers in the country. But — but
they haven't arrived in the West. Most of
these "young Americans" have disembarked
at various points in the Middle West, with
the result that the "scarcity of labor" in that
locality has been appreciably relieved. For
all of which the farmers are doubtless very
thankful to the shipowners. The few men
who have actually set foot in San Francisco
have at once declared their determination not
to scab, preferring to clean bricks for an hon-
est living.
The straits in which the Association finds
itself may be judged by other tactics to which
it has lately resorted. Union men have
been assaulted without the slightest provoca-
tion, other than the fact that they are union
men. Hired thugs in the pay of the As-
sociation and its allies in Grays Harbor,
Wash., recently assaulted and nearly killed a
member of the Sailors' Union while he was
going on board his vessel at Slade's Mill, in
Aberdeen. While ostensibly employed to
guard the vessels against the imaginary vio-
lence of union seamen, these hired bravos of
the Association are actually engaged in as-
saults upon the members of the unions, with
the object, of course, of forcing the latter into
submission through fear of their lives. And
these are the same gentlemen who prate so
loudly about the "maintenance of law and
order" !
So far every sign points to an early vic-
tory for the seamen's unions. The only dan-
ger consists in over-confidence. Every mem-
ber of the unions involved, be he sailor, fire-
man, cook, or steward, should do his indi-
vidual duty in the present struggle in order
that the largest possible results may be ob-
tained, and that in the shortest possible time.
Circumstances favor the seamen, but these
alone won't win the fight. Only personal
loyalty and hard work can do that. The
prospect of winning the greatest labor victory
in the history of the West should be suffi-
cient of itself to inspire every man to the
greatest exertion, so that he may be able to
"point with pride" to his own record in the
case.
Members of the seamen's unions locked
out by the Transportation Association at San
Francisco and other Coast ports should re-
port daily at the respective headquarters and
agencies for watch duty and other work ne-
cessary to the proper conduct of the contest.

CHILD LABOR LAW UPHELD.
The Child Labor law enacted by the Califor-
nia Legislature of 1905 has been declared
constitutional by the State Supreme Court
in its decision in the Despatch case. The case
grew out of the explosion in the boiler-room
of the steamer Despatch in San Francisco
harbor, by which a young lad was killed and
several other minors injured. State Labor
Commissioner Stafford invoked the Child La-
bor law against those responsible for the em-
ployment of these minors and secured a con-
viction in the lower courts. The case was
appealed, with the result just stated.
The points raised against the law were that
it is special legislation, that it is discriminat-
ory as against certain trades, and that it would
deprive persons of the right to acquire and
possess property. The Supreme Court ruled
against each of these points. The gist of the
Court's decision is as follows:
Prom their tender years, immature growth and
lack- of experience, and knowledge, minors are
more subject to injury from excessive exertion
and less capable of self protection than adults.
They are therefore peculiarly entitled to legisla-
tive protection and form a class to which legisla-
tion may be exclusively directed without falling
under the constitutional prohibitions of special
legislation and unfair discrimination.
The first objection to the validity of the part
of the section above stated is that it is discrim-
inatory and special because it does not prohibit
such employment of minors in all occupations,
but only in those specifically mentioned; that
work at other places, of which saloons, barber
shops, railroads, ferries and warehouses are speci-
fied by counsel as instances, would be equally
injurious, and that in order to be general and
uniform they should be included in the prohibi-
tion. The objection is twofold; first, that the
legislation constitutes an unfair discrimination
against the particular trades mentioned; second,
that it unduly and without reasonable cause re-
stricts the right of minors to work at any and
every occupation in which they may wish to en-
gage. There is nothing in the Act to indicate
a purpose on the part of the Legislature to make
use of the laudable object of protecting children
as a mere pretense under which to impose bur-
dens upon some occupations or trades and favor
others. It appears to have been framed in good
faith and for the purpose of promoting the gen-
eral welfare by protecting minors from injury
by overwork and facilitating their attendance at
schools. The Legislature may undoubtedly for-
bid the employment of children under the age
of fourteen years at any regular occupation if the
interests of the children and the general welfare
of society will be thereby secured and promoted.
The power to forbid their employment in certain
occupations and not in all depends on the ques-
tion whether or not any appreciable number of
children arc employed in the callings not for-
bidden, and whether or not those callings are
injurious to them, or less injurious than those for-
bidden. If certain occupations are especially
harmful to young children and others are not
so, there can be no serious doubt that it is within
the power of the Legislature to forbid their em-
ployment in one class and permit it in the other.
The difference in the results would justify the
classification with a view to the difference in the
legislation. Also, if children are employed in
certain occupations to their injury and are not
employed at all in others, or so infrequently that
the number is inappreciable and insignificant, the
occupations regularly employing them have no
ground to complain of discrimination. They com-
pose the entire class to which the legislation is
directed, the class which causes the injury to be
prevented.
The vindication of the Child Labor law i*
gratifying to all who believe in stringent leg-
islation for the protection of the rising gene-
ration. While the credit for the enactment
of that law is due mainly to organized labor
and its friends, the successful enforcement of
the law is the work of Labor Commissioner
Stafford and his efficient staff. Mr. Stafford
has been indefatigable in the prosecution of
offenders against the Child Labor law and
has compelled general observance of that
measure throughout the State. Reinforced by
the decision of the Supreme Court, it is practi-
cally certain that there will be no further at-
tempt to violate the law against the employ-
ment of children under sixteen years. In this
connection mention should be made of the
valuable services of Deputy Commissioner
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
John M. Eshleman. The successful prosecu-
tion of the Child Labor cases in the courts
of the State was conducted by Mr. Eshleman,
who has thus won a reputation that may well
be envied by older members of the legal pro-
fession. The people of the State are to be
congratulated upon the maintenance of a
valuable law and upon the possession of a
staff of officials who can be depended upon
to put the law to the greatest possible use.
ANTI-SHANGHAIING LAW.
The much-talked-of Anti-Shanghaiing bill
was passed by the session of Congress which
recently adjourned, and is now the law of the
land. The Act in question is here reproduced
in full, as follows :
An Act to prohibit shanghaiing in the United
States.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That whoever, with in-
tent that any person shall perform service or
labor of any kind on board of any vessel of
any kind engaged in trade and commerce among
the several States or with foreign nations, shall —
First. Procure or induce or attempt to pro-
cure or induce another by force, threats, or rep-
resentations which the person making them knows
or believes to be untrue, or while the person so
induced or procured is intoxicated or under the
influence of any drug, to go on board of any
such vessel.
Second. Induce or procure or attempt to in-
duce or procure another by force or threats, or
by representations known or believed by the
person making them to be untrue, or while the
person so induced or procured is intoxicated or
under the influence of any drug, to sign or in
any wise enter into any agreement to go on board
any such vessel to perform service or labor
thereon, shall be fined not more than one thou-
sand dollars or imprisonment for one year, or
both.
Sec. 2. That whoever shall knowingly detain on
board any such vessel any person induced to go
on board thereof or to enter into an agreement
to go on board thereof by any of the means de-
fined in section one hereof shall be punished as
provided in section one.
Sec. 3. That whoever shall knowingly aid or
abet in the doing of any of the things declared
unlawful by sections one and two of this Act
shall be deemed a principal and punished ac-
cordingly.
Sec. 4. That sections four, six, and twenty-four
of chapter twenty-eight of the Acts of Congress,
approved December twenty-first, eighteen hun-
dred and ninety-eight, shall apply to all vessels
engaged in the taking of oysters, anything in sec-
tion twenty-six of said last-mentioned Act to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Approved, June 28, 1906.
The new law was conceived mainly with a
view to remedying the disgraceful and bar-
barous conditions practiced among the oyster-
men of Chesapeake Bay. It is to be hoped
that the measure will prove effective for the
prevention of the shanghaiing practices here-
tofore so common in that trade and locality.
The effect of the Anti-Shanghaiing law, if
effective at all, should not be confined to any
one instance of the evil aimed at, but should
be equally beneficial in all instances. Instances
of shanghaiing are by no means confined to
the waters of any one locality, but are to be
found in full force wherever employers of
maritime labor find it difficult for any reason
to induce or persuade men to accept employ-
ment upon the terms offered. San Francisco
and other Pacific Coast ports, under present
conditions, afford a striking example of the
prevalence of shanghaiing. The new law, if
honestly enforced, ought to make it easier to
stop the glaring frauds now being perpetrated
against men and boys by the United Ship-
ping and Transportation Association and the
crimps in its pay. While the terms of the new
law, as is characteristic of most legislation
of the kind, are somewhat vague, their intent
is perfectly obvious. The law requires proof
of knowledge on the part of the crimp that
the terms he proposes to his prospective vic-
tims are false, but it should not be difficult
to satisfy any intelligent judge or jury on this
score, considering the glaring character of the
frauds committed by the shipowners' procur-
ers. In any event the new law will be tested
to its fullest capacity at the first opportunity.
The allusion of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association, in its explana-
tion ( ?) of its refusal to arbitrate, to the fact
that the Sailors' Union of the Pacific "admits
that 97 per cent of its members are foreign-
ers" is intended to be very cutting. As a
matter of fact, it is simply very silly. The
admission of the Sailors' Union concerning
the nationality of its membership is merely an
admission of the fact that the great majority
of the seamen on the Pacific Coast are of
foreign birth, a fact for which neither the
seamen themselves nor the Sailors' Union
is in any degree responsible. The responsi-
bility for that fact rests elsewhere. In order
to give any point at all to the fling of the
Association that body must show that the
Sailors' Union debars from membership or
fails to secure the allegiance of men of Ameri-
can birth. Of course, the Association can not
do this, for the reason that all the seamen —
including all the "young Americans" of that
calling — on the Coast are members of the
Union. The Union simply organizes the ma-
terial at hand, without reference to the acci-
dent of birth, color or creed. Come to think
of it, there is a certain humor in the reference
made to the nationality of the seamen on the
Pacific Coast, considering the fact that that
reference is made by the most notorious em-
ployer of Chinese labor in the whole country,
namely, Schwerin, of the Pacific Mail Com-
pany.
The action of Mayor Schmitz in detailing
a large number of extra police officers for
duty on the water front of San Francisco has
aroused much unfavorable comment. The
Mayor had endeavored to secure the consent
of the Transportation Association to submit
its case against the seamen to arbitration, and,
failing in that object, had thrown out a strong
hint that he would adopt other measures to
end the struggle between seamen and ship-
owners. The character of the measures which
the Mayor proposed to use could only be con-
jectured. Now it appears that the Mayor's
last resort is that of "police interference," the
very thing that he was elected to prevent and
which throughout his entire incumbency he
has declaimed against. But, of course, the
Mayor now dates history from April 18, the
date upon which Labor was unhorsed and
Capital placed in the saddle ! The earthquake
and conflagration in San Francisco worked
many marvels, chief of which is their effect
upon the memory of Mayor Schmitz. How-
ever, there still remain a large number of
persons who vividly recall the industrial and
political events of 1901, the more so by reason
of the present tendency of history to repeat
itself.
President Penje and Secretary-Treasurer
Frazicr, of the International Seamen's Union
of America, are doing splendid work in pre-
venting the shipment of non-unionists from
the Lakes and Atlantic Coast to San Fran-
cisco. Aided by the officers and members of
the seamen's unions in their respective locali-
ties, Comrades Penje and Frazicr have ren-
dered yeoman service in this regard, for which
the seamen of the Pacific Coast are profoundly
grateful.

DRYDOCKS AT CLEVELAND.
IMPROVING TOLEDO SHIPYARD.
President James C. Wallace and other of-
ficers of the American Shipbuilding Company
recently called upon President Springborn of
the Board of Public Service to review with
him tentative plans for a new drydock at
the foot of W. 54th street, Cleveland. The
building of the drydock would necessitate use
by the shipbuilding company of a portion of
the street.
Springborn told Wallace that it would be
necessary lor the Board of Public Service
to get permission from the Council by ordi-
nance or resolution before the street could be
devoted to the purpose for which the Ship-
building Company wants it. Springborn will
take the matter up with the Council.
It is understood that it is the purpose of
the Shipbuilding Company to build a drydock
at the point named larger than any it now has
in this harbor. The Company has been some-
what cramped for drydock space for some
time on account of its growing business. Wal-
lace would not discuss the plans of the com-
pany to any extent.
"We have formed no definite plans," he
said. "It is our intention to increase our hold-
ings ; that is all 1 can say at present. I can't
tell how soon we will be ready to go ahead
with the deal if we decide to go ahead at all."
Another big drydock is badly needed at
this end of the route in order to take care
of the many large freighters that are coming
out. and Cleveland, of course, is the best place
on Lake Erie for it to be located. All the
big docks at Lake Erie ports are occupied
at present and some of them have all the busi-
ness they will be able to take care of for the
next two months.
Last week a big steel steamer was damaged
at this end of the route and as all the docks
were taken she had to go to the head of Lake
Superior for repairs. If she was badly dam-
aged and not in shape to make the trip up
the Lakes, she would have to wait until re-
pairs on vessels that were in the docks were
completed.
Vessels %re in the three local drydocks at
present. The steamer Zimmerman, which was
one of the worst wrecked boats that was ever
brought to Cleveland, is in Xo. 1 dock and
it will be some time before repairs on her are
completel. The barge Manda, which was
placed in Xo. 2 dock recently, will be a big
job. She was on the rocks in the Detroit
River and five of her tanks were punctured.
Repairs on the steamer Crescent City, which
is in drydock at Lorain, will not be completed
before August i, and it will take from sixty
to ninety days to make repairs on the barge
Manila. She is in drydock at Toledo. The
steamer Steel King is in the big drydock at
Buffalo, where she will be for two weeks.
The steamer Mataafa, which was wrecked last
fall is still at the head of Lake Superior, but
she may be brought to Cleveland for repairs.
If the officials of the American Shipbuilding
Company decide to build the new plant they
will have four drydocks at Cleveland. The
new dock at Lorain will be completed next
fall and the company will then have two big
<locks at that port.
Extraordinary dispatch is making the
work of transforming the yard of the To-
ledo Shipbuilding Company, at Toledo, into
a most capacious plant. Work upon the new
drydock did not begin until the weather op-
ened, but the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock
Company has alrcadv finished the dredging
and is at work on the piling. The dock will
be ready to go into commission on October
15. It will be Ux> feet long, 105 feet wide
at the top, 72 feet width of blocks, 80 feet
width of gate. The portal will be of solid
concrete and steel. This dock is designed to
accommodate any ship up to 550 feet in length.
The gate of the dock has been sufficiently wide
to accommodate passenger boats without re-
moving guard. Vessels will he launched into
this dock from two berths .one on either side
of it. The berth to the right will be IIO feet
wide, capable of accommodating the beamiest
of passenger boats. The two berths and the
dock will be commanded by a traveling crane
capable of delivering material to any portion
of the dock.
A modern punch shop, 240 feet long by
no feet wide, will be built at the head of
the new drydock, and will therefore be most
advantageously located for the delivery of ma-
terial to either of the building berths or the
drydock. A pumping house, built entirely of
concrete, will be erected to the left of the
foot of the drydock for the purpose of filling
and emptying the dock. The pump house will
lie connected by a tunnel with the second dry-
dock, so that it will fill and empty both of
them. The second drydock, which is to be an
enlargement of the old Craig dock, will be
650 feet long, no feet wide on top, 72 feet
wide on blocks with an 80-foot gate. A
locomotive crane will be installed to the left
of this drydock of ten tons' capacity at 50-foot
reach for the purpose of handling heavy
weights on repair jobs. Vessels will be
launched into this drydock from a building
berth on the right.

DETROIT RIVER TUNNEL.
Lids submitted by contractors for the con-
struction of the Michigan Central's great in-
ternational tunnel under the Detroit River have
all been rejected by the officers of the Detroit
River Tunnel Company, as the department of
the road in charge of the work is called.
Creat difficulty has been encountered in get-
ling the contracts let. The first set of bids
submitted were invalidated by the fact that
a fundamental change in plan necessitating
complete new figures was made. Revised bids
wen' asked for and submitted about three
weeks ago.
These were found to be all too high to suit
the company, and they were rejected. The
company is now attempting to drive bargains
with the contractors on a different basis from
that on which the first bids were submitted.
It has been definitely decided that the ex-
cavation of the open trench work on the Wind-
sor side will be done by the company itself,
instead of being let to outside contractors. The
trench will be a ditch fifty feet below the pres-
ent surface of the shore and will be used as an
approach to the tunnel. Equipment is now
being gathered for the work and operations
will shortly begin.
FUTURE OF OLD BOATS.
Relative to a recent statement about the
future for the older boats in the package freight
business, one of the big ship operators said:
"The future for these boats is not as gloomy
as might be supposed from all of the gossip
that is going the rounds about them. We
have heard from the strictly merchant fleets
for a number of years that boats of 3,000 to
4.000 tons capacity arc being pushed out of
the trade and cannot be operated at a profit.
But we are leaving a few things out of con-
sideration. In the first place, it is not to be
expected that these boats will earn as much as
the big $400,000 boats. For one thing they
did not cost as much and in addition have paid
their way. If the boat owner had made proper
charges to depreciation these boats would not
stand the owner a dollar on his books to-
day. If he has been really keeping books he
will find that he has no boats whatever as far
as that side of the ledger goes. Having a
3,000-ton boat which has not cost anything
these vessels are able to make a pretty good
sum of money in a year.
"There is another thing: Firms like the
Steel Trust. Jones & Laughlin, Cambria, and
Republic Iron and Steel are few. They take
big tonnage and can afford to have their ore
delivered in 10,000 lots. But there are hun-
dreds of little fellows who buy small amounts
of 30,000 to 50,000 tons a year. These do not
want their ore delivered in three cargoes, but
they want it to come along as they need mix-
tures, as 2,500 to 3,000 tons at a time. The
little boats are mighty handy for that business.
Xo more of the little boats will be built. When
they are no longer in business we will have
to take care of the little fellows in compart-
ment boats. This can be done, but it is a
slower and more tedious process. The com-
paratively small boat still has a good trade
on the chain of Lakes."
Data available have developed the fact that
the highest lighthouse in the United States
is located in the upper peninsula of Michigan.
This is at Grand Island, off Munishing, Alger
county, in Lake Superior, where the North
Point light flashes from a tower erected on
a cliff that rises a sheer 250 feet above the
level of the water. The surface of Lake Su-
perior is 027 feet above the level of the sea,
thirty-three feet higher than Lake Michigan
and sixtv-three feet higher than Lake Erie.
\ contract has been closed between C. W.
Elphicke, of Chicago, President, and Antonio
C. l'essano, of the Great Lakes Engineering
Company, of Detroit, calling for a 7,500 ton
ore-carrier for 1(1,07 delivery. The new boat
will be -140 feet over all, 420 feet keel, 52 feet
beam and 28 feet deep. She will be of arch
construction and will be equipped with a triple
expansion engine. Steam will be furnished by
two Scotch boilers, equipped with induced
draft.
Fixtures for the Marine Postoffice, which
will open at the Detroit ship canal in July,
were ordered recently, and the office will be
ready for business at the appointed time. The
appointment of the officer to take charge has
not been made. The office will be located hi
the administration building, which stands be-
tween the locks, and will handle all mail des-
tined for persons on passing Lake craft.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
MARINE NOTES.
The name of the passenger steamer Belle
has been changed to Fremont. She will
run between Cedar Point and Fremont.
The steamer Crescent City will be re-
paired at Lorain. She will be docked this
week. The Crescent City was ashore all
winter at the head of Lake Superior.
A dispatch from W. H. Gill, keeper of the
Thunder Ray light, says that the steamel
Tempest Sunday afternoon found the wreck
of the steamer Grecian in ninety feet of
water, six miles south of Thunder Bay. The
Grecian foundered recently.
The understanding at the Soo is that L. C.
Sabin, now secretary of the international
deep waterways commission, will become
superintendent of the Soo locks. He was
formerly located at the Soo, in connection
with government work.
H. J. Pauly of Milwaukee is considering
bids from various wrecking companies for
the raising of the John Duncan on the bot-
tom of Northport Harbor. The wrecked
steamer is in no danger of further damage
and does not in any way interfere with Lake
traffic.
It will take from sixty to ninety days to
repair the barge Manila, which is in dry-
dock at Toledo. Three hundred men will
work on her. It is said that one hole through
her tank top is as large as the whole job
on the steamer Zimmerman. All bottom
plates must come off.

We Don't Patronize.
Captain Thomas J. Brady of Detroit has
succeeded in command of the freight steam-
er Majestic in place of Captain H. C. Mc-
Callum, who resigned to become assistant
inspector of hulls at Detroit. Captain Brady
last year sailed the steamer Progress of the
Corrigan fleet.
John Churchill of Buffalo is now chief
engineer of the steamer Lyman C. Smith,
succeeding George M. Milne, who has ac-
cepted the position of assistant inspector of
boilers at Detroit. Engineer Churchill has
been in charge of the steamer W. W. Brown
for two years.
An official circular has been issued an-
nouncing the election of Edwin T. Evans of
Buffalo as president of the Connecting Ter-
minal Railroad Company and the Western
Warehousing Company. He will take the
place of Frank J. Firth of Philadelphia, who
has declined re-election. Mr. Evans is at the
head of the Erie & Western Transportation
Company,, otherwise known as the Anchor
line, which controls the two companies of
which he has been made the head.
Captain James Reid, who is preparing to
release the stranded steamer Edenborn at
Split Rock, says the vessel will have to be
jacked a hundred feet before the water will
be deep enough to afford any substantial
buoyancy. The boat is high up on the
shore and out of the water in places. There
is only four feet of water on the side toward
the lake. The Edenborn is in better con-
dition than were either the Mataafa or the
Crescent City. She had a dead weight of
3500 tons.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
AUSTRALIAN NOTES.
(For the Coast Seaman's Journal.)
The present condition in Australia, accord-
ing to the capitalists themselves, is that we
arc enjoying a state of prosperity. The grain
season has been an excellent one, as also has
been the wool season, and mining is on the
boom, especially in connection with tin-min-
ing.
The politicians arc now waking up for the
Federal elections. Happy, untruthful, wobbly,
"Yes-No" George Reid is touring the coun-
try in opposition to the Labor party, and is
styling himself "Leader of the Anti-Socialists.-'
Considering that no sane person in this coun-
try takes George seriously for one moment,
it is not believed that he will do any harm.
The Deputy Leader of the Opposition, the
one-time Labor man, who forgets that as a
working miner he was lifted into prominence
by bis fellow-workers and unionists, now re-
quests the leader of the Labor party, J. C.
Watson, to stop truckling with his principles
and be honest and straightforward! O shades
of Ananias ! Does it not feel good to us poor
Wayfarers of the Sea to find that "Joe- Joe"
Cook is by an all-wise Providence still spared
to us on this earth?
There is another topic besides that of Anti-
Socialism, which has now taken a great hold
in Australia, i. e., the destruction of rabbits,
which were at one time considered a pest or
curse to the country. The slaughter ot
Bunny has now become an industry employing
thousands. Men are now making a decent
living trapping the rabbits, which are valued
for the skins, and then there is employment
in the cities preparing the latter for export.
One important factor in connection with rab-
bits is that the Beef Trust can not work the
oracle any longer. One Dr. Danysz has been
imported (not as an immigrant) from France,
to poison Bunny by the introduction of mi-
crobes. This particular doctor has been en-
gaged by the pastoralists, under the supervi-
sion of the Government. The latter, about
twenty years ago, offered a reward of £25,000
to any person who could clear the country of
rabbits, but as we live so we learn. The pest
is now a blessing. We will now eat our rab-
bit instead of Chicago tinned .
It is with the deepest regret that I send
you word that the "Father of Democracy" in
New Zealand has just passed away in the
person of Richard J. Seddon, the Premier, a
man 111 every sense of the word, beloved by
even one in Australia and adored by the peo-
ple of New Zealand. Deep sympathy is freely
expressed everywhere and by all classes. Pre-
mier Seddon was on his way home (as he
had stated a few days previously) to "God's
own country," by the steamer Oswestry
Grange, and was about 180 miles out from
Sydney, N. S. W., when he expired rather
suddenly. He was in company with his wife
and his private secretary at the time.
The steamer turned back to this port to have
the body embalmed and after a short stay pro-
ceeded to Auckland, New Zealand. The late
statesman was a native of England. Born
at Eccleston near St. Helens, Lancashire. His
masterful nature, force of character and fight-
ing abilities gave to Maoriland the position
she holds today, not only in the commercial
world, but as the beacon that all countries
are watching in connection with Democratic
legislation.
The seamen of Australia have now regis-
tered under the Federal Arbitration Act and
have given notice of the termination of
the present agreement with the shipowners,
to be effective on January 1, 1907. The ship-
owners and seamen are to meet in conference
toward the end of August in Melbourne, Vic-
toria. It is to be hoped that the result will

FACTS ABOUT RAILWAYS.
The average number of passengers in each
railroad train in the United States in 1904 was
50.25. This represents a growth from about
39 per train in 1898, but is still far below the
development attained abroad. In 1898 Ger-
many carried an average of 71 persons in each
train, and India bad the large figure of 1S9.
The development of the electric railway in this
country and the frequent train service help to
keep down the average. On each of the 212,-
000 miles of railway in 1904 there were car-
ried an average of 104,198 passengers. That
is to say, the aggregate passenger mileage of
the country, according to the Railway World,
divided by the mileage of the track, gives the
figure named. In Germany, as far back as
1898, this figure was 342,000 persons; in
France it was 283,000 in 1897; in India, 289,-
000, and in Austria 214,000. The figures for
Great Britain are not obtainable.
In addition to stimulating business by aid-
ing conventions of business and professional
men and all religious and fraternal organiza-
tions, the railways have acted in conjunction
with commercial organizations of various
cities, originating special buyers' excursions,
whereby cheap rates are offered to merchants
of consuming districts in order to attract their
trade to the wholesalers of the cities offering
the low rates through railroads interested.
Hundreds of special trains are run every year
to enable home seekers to visit sections of the
country where they can obtain land. In addi-
tion the railways furnish luxurious trains to
accommodate those able to pay for such con-
veniences. One railway running out of Chi-
cago runs a train composed of cars which cost
$250,000 each. Another railroad runs a "lim-
ited' train on an investment of $1,000,000; so
on with other roads.
WORLD'S COAL SUPPLY.
Statistics as to the amount of coal in the
world or in any particular country are of
small value because estimates are based on
inadequate information. The German peri-
odical, Stahl und Eisen, gives figures as to
Germany's supply, which it places at 280,-
000,000,000 tons, which will last, at the present
rate of consumption, a couple of thousand
years. The coal deposits of Great Britain and
Ireland are placed at 193,000,000,000 tons,
with an annual consumption of twice that of
Germany. The estimated coal deposit of Bel-
gium is 23,000,000,000 tons; of France, 19,-
000,000,000; Austria, 17,000,000,000, and
Russia, 40,000,000,000 tons. North America's
coal deposits are estimated by the same au-
thority as 681,000,000,000 tons. The total for
all Europe is placed at 700,000,000,000 tons.
Asia is conceded to have much larger deposits,
which cannot even approximately be estimated.
Turbines are to be substituted for the enor-
mous reciprocating engines at the new Lon-
don (Eng.) County Council generating sta-
tion. A London paper says that the latter en-
gines are already obsolete, and seriously affect
the near-by Greenwich Observatory.

INJUNCTION EXTENDED.
How necessary it is for organized labor to
watch legislation to prevent, by all proper
means, the enactment of tyrannical and unjust
statutes, and finally to make it plain to candi-
dates and politicians that they can not injure
and wrong labor with impunity, is illustrated
by a series of episodes reported in the Illinois
press. Tyranny has its logic, as well as lib-
erty, and "it is the first step that is difficult."
Probably one of the worst decisions ever
rendered in any American State was that given
a few weeks ago by a Chicago judge in an in-
junction case. Under that decision it. is a crime
to call a sympathetic strike in Illinois.
This is a new development in the injunction
business. It establishes a new principle, a new
invasion of labor's rights. It is an extraordi-
nary decision. How could the judge render it?
The answer is suggestive.
Some years ago, when organized labor was
less vigilant and less determined than it is now,
the Illinois Legislature enacted a reactionary
statute prohibiting boycotting in any form and
making it a criminal offense.
The injunction lawyers thereupon began to
ask the courts to put specific prohibitions
against boycotting in the restraining orders
against strikers, and the courts were too oblig-
ing to refuse.
In one case an appeal was taken from such
an order, and the appellate court was inclined
to strike out or modify the prohibition of boy-
cotting, so as to leave the workmen enjoined to
statute was in the way. It was not a question
of principle, or of reasonable application of
common law doctrines, but of following the
statutes of the States. So the Court permit-
ted the anti-boycott clause to stand.
That was bad enough, but worse was to come.
A difficulty arose later between building con-
tractors and a "fake" union of stone cutters
on the one hand, and the old, regular, genuine
Stone Cutters' Union of Chicago on the other.
The latter union struck and demanded the
adoption of the union shop principle. The
building trades of the city sympathized with
it, as did all building trades unions, and, in
some instances, sympathetic strikes were called
by the Chicago Building Trades Council.
It never occurred to any officer of the fed-
erated body, or of any local represented in it,
that there was anything illegal in the calling of
a sympathetic strike in support of the Stone
Cutters' Union. But an expert injunction
lawyer applied to a judge of the circuit court
for an order to prohibit all further action along
the line in question on the part of the council
and the unions not directly interested in the
stone cutters' controversy. He denied the ap-
plication with the laconic remark that he did
not see how he could prevent men from strik-
ing for any reason sufficient in their own eyes.
This was good sense. Strikes are lawful in
Illinois, as elsewhere, and if it is lawful to
strike sympathetically, it can not be unlawful
to call a sympathetic strike.
However, the persistent lawyer took his ap-
plication to another judge of another court,
and here he was successful. The second judge,
always regarded as a progressive and clear-
headed man, found himself constrained to
grant the injunction.
His reasoning was as follows : It is true
that men may advise or request other men to
that men may strike for any reason,
or without any reason. It is true that
men may advise or request other men to
do anything which the latter may do of their
limitation of the right to call strikes of a cer-
tain kind. What is a purely sympathetic
strike but a boycott, ask labor's opponents?
Men may be boycotted as well as goods. To
say to an employer that unless he will do a cer-
tain thing as desired by A. B., and C. ; E, F,
and G will be called out on strike, though they
have no personal grievance and no direct, ma-
terial, economic interest in the difficulty with
A, B, and C, is to threaten him with a boycott.
Now, the statute prohibits men from organiz-
ing or ordering or calling a boycott, and hence
it is the duty of the Illinois courts, under the
precedents and the statute, to enjoin the calling
of strikes that are essentially and really boy-
cotts.
And so it is now impossible in Illinois to call
a sympathetic strike, although it is possible
and lawful to strike out of sympathy without
an order from a union or council representing
several unions.
The situation is absurd on its face, but the
boycott statute is responsible for the anomaly.
Many men in a position to know, insist that
the judge intended to be fair and logical. In
other respects he modified the injunction in
accordance with reason and equity. He re-
fused to enjoin "peaceable persuasion" and
peaceable picketing. He pointed ou that the
boycott act left him without discretion as re-
gards the application for an injunction against
a strike that was not distinguishable from a
boycott.
One point escaped him, it would seem.
If the boycott statute prohibits the calling of
certain strikes it should be declared unconsti-
tutional.
Can the Legislature prohibit men from ad-
vising others to do what they have a right to
do? It is unfortunate that this objection was
not raised. It is not too late to raise it now, on
appeal.
Meanwhile, we repeat, the lesson of this situ-
ation is plain. Legislation must be watched
more vigilantly, and our lawmakers must be
taught proper respect for the rights, claims,
and reasonable wishes of organized labor — or-
ganized labor which advocates, champions,
protects and promotes the rights and interests
of all labor. — American Federationist.
MILITARY EXPENDITURES.
According to a British Parliamentary return
Great Britain stands third among the military
powers in the point of expenditure for mili-
tary purposes. In the fiscal year of 1905 the
leading powers spent on their armies, accord-
ing to this British return, as follows : Russia,
$185,000,000; Germany, $157,000,000; Great
Britain, $153,000,000; France, $133,000,000;
the United States, $112,000,000; India, $98,-
000,000; Austria, $84,000,000; Italy, $55,000,-
000; Japan, $21,000,000. In addition to the
total given for the United Kingdom, $16,000,-
000 was paid out of colonial funds for local
purposes. The German total excludes the sum
of nearly $25,000,000 for colonial military ex-
penses, and the French total also excludes
$18,000,000 for the army serving abroad. The
Japan total excludes any of the extraordinary
expenses for the war with Russia. In addi-
tion to the sum given for the United States it
is stated that nearly $137,000,000 is expended
for pensions.
A report from Antwerp states that never
before has the demand been so great from
the United States, at any one time, for cement
as at the present time. One vessel recently
took 6,100 tons of cement from Antwerp to San
Francisco.
FEMALE LABOR.
Baden, Germany, is about the size of Con-
necticut, and is generally classed as a manu-
facturing State. In 1905 the number of wo-
men employed in factories, tailor shops, and
similar branches in the Grand Duchy was 66,-
294, as against 63,810 in 1904, or a trifle more
than 31 per cent of the total number of em-
ployes in 2,793 concerns from which a compu-
tation was made. Of these female employes
the cigar and textile industries took more than
half. In clothing and trimming factories and
tailor shops 3,157 women were found em-
ployed in 1905. In the cigar and metal work-
ing industries, including jewelry manufactor-
ies, the number of married women, widows,
and divorced women was found in 1905 to be
considerably larger than in other branches
where women find employment.
Factory statistics show a marked increase in
the number of married women who seek em-
ployment in factories, their present number
being nearly one-half the total adult women
so employed. A corresponding decrease in the
number of young girls in factories is also
noted. Each year is said to increase the de-
mand for this class of labor and a growing
scarcity to have resulted. The case is cited of
a firm engaged in the manufacture of band-
ages in a small town quite distant from any
manufacturing center which made a careful
canvass for working women over 21 years of
age in three nearby villages and secured but
one under an offer of $1.90 per week at the
beginning with a guaranty of an early increase
to $3-57 Per week. This scarcity of female
employes in factories has led to the importing
of a large number of Italian women for the
textile industry and considerable numbers of
Polish women and Galicians in other branches,
especially the rag-sorting branches. The im-
portation of this labor is justified on the
ground of its being an industrial necessity in
the present condition of manufacturing in that
part of Germany.
MEXICAN IMMIGRATION.
Mexico is agitated over the subject of im-
migration. The newspapers deal with the
matter quite generally, and many public men
have discussed it. It is argued that immi-
grants from cities are not desirable, as what
Mexico needs is men to cultivate the land. It
is said in cities in Mexico, like those in other
countries, have a superabundance of the ele-
ment which would be contributed by immi-
grants from foreign cities. A year ago a big
Japanese company brought a thousand men
from Japanese cities to Boleo for mining pur-
poses. As the Japanese had no experience in
mining they were of no use, and had to be
shipped home at the expense of the steam-
ship company, which experiment, the Mexican
Investor says, cost the company about $100,-
000. Anodier Japanese immigration company
shipped a large number of Japanese laborers
from towns to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to
work for the planters there, but they proved a
failure and had to be shipped home. For that
reason Mexicans say they do not want men
from cities. The great trouble with Mexican
land is the lack of moisture, which will have
to be provided by means of artesian wells, etc.,
for irrigation purposes.
The production and sale of salt in Greece is
a monopoly of the Government. The amount
sold during 1905 is estimated at 24,700 long
tons, on which were realized $542,440.

The Steamship Owners' Associa-
tion has acceded to the request of
the Federated Seamen's Union of
Australasia for a conference.
The Cairns (Queensland) Sugar
Workers' Union is advertising for an
organizer for the coming season;
wages, $25 per week, hut no expenses
allowed.
British Premier Bannerman says
he does not intend to create a sep-
arate department under a Minister
for Labor to solve the problem of
the unemployed.
The French Chamber of Deputies
has passed Lhe Senate bill granting
amnesty to persons punished for of-
fenses committed during the taking
of the church inventories and the
strike disturbances of May 1.
An endeavor is to be made to
amalgamate the various unions in the
West Australian timber industry, so
that they will better be able to resist
any attempt to reduce wages when
the present agreement expires.
Pro-Kanaka papers in Australia are
already insinuating that the evidence
taken by the Sugar Labor Commis-
sion goes to show that there will not
be a sufficient supply of white labor
available when the Kanakas are gone.
The French Chamber of Deputies
lias passed the bill providing for a
compulsory day of rest weekly. The
measure, which is designed to ter-
minate the present system of Sunday
labor, has already passed the Senate
and now goes to the President.
Outrages by natives continue in
the town of Johannesburg, S. A.,
and suburbs, perpetrators frequently
using revolvers. On one occasion na-
tives were accompanied by Chinese
coolies. The authorities have warned
the whites to lock up all their arms.
Another shipmaster in an Austra-
lian port has been fined £100, for al-
lowing a Japanese seaman on the
British steamer Ancaros to enter the
Commonwealth. It is said that this
legislation must be bringing in quite
a large revenue to the Federal Gov-
ernment.
When the up-to-date Leaderville
Municipal Council, in West Australia,
proposed to erect six workmen's cot-
tages on its endowment lands, the
West Australian Bank refused to ex-
tend the overdraft owing to the
"Council's Socialistic housing pro-
posal." Not to be beaten, Socialist
Councillor Watkins then gave notice
of motion to raise a loan of £12,000
with a view of "erecting sixty work-
men's cottages" on the Council's
property.
Recently the New South Wales
Tailors' Union got the Arbitration
Court to extend the just-expiring
award for a further period. The
Full Court has now granted the
bosses' application for a prohibition
to restrain the Arbitration Court
from extending the time, the Judges
ruling that the Arbitration Court had
no power to extend an award. An-
other instance, says the Brisbane
Worker, of the Judges overriding the
desire and will of Parliament.
In an interim report the anti-
sweating committee appointed by
the Sydney (New South Wales)
Labor Council states that it has al-
ready received information that a
grave condition "f intolerable sweat-
ing exists not only in factories, but
in warehouses, fashionable retail es-
tablishments, and small shops, and
that "some •>( the instances oi cruel
and inhuman treatment meted out to
unfortunate employes will astound
the people when the committee
makes its revelations."
Out of 187,089 members of 1,061
French Trade Unions (miners'
Unions in the Nord and Pas-
de-Calais departments not be-
ing included) which made re-
turns to the French Labor Depart-
ment as to the state of employment,
[5>995. or 8.5 per cent, were out of
work in April, as compared with 9.4
per cent in the previous month, and
9.3 per cent in April, 1905.
According to reports made to the
Belgian Labor Department, out of
26,163 members of 119 Trade Unions
which made returns, 397, or 1.5 per
cent were out of work towards the
latter part of the month, as compared
with 2.1 per cent in the preceding
month, and 1.5 per cent in April, 1905.
The figures do not include particu-
lars relating to miners, home-workers,
or agricultural laborers.
At the second conference between
representatives of the Sydney (New
South Wales) Labor Council and the
Employers' Federation regarding the
State Arbitration Act, the bosses' rep-
resentative said2 in effect, that they de
sired to do away with the Arbitration
Court as at present constituted, and
substitute conciliation boards, also to
exclude members of the legal profes-
sion. The union representatives re-
plied that as the Labor Council at
present was in favor of the Arbitration
Act they could not agree to anything
different.
Wegg-Horne and R. S. Walpole,
the highly-paid "educated agitators''
employed by the New South Wales
and Victorian employers' unions re-
spectively, made great efforts recent-
ly to show their bosses that they
were doing something for their
money. Besides indulging in a lot
of bitter anti-labor talk, both of them
read papers at the bosses' conference
in Brisbane, in which they villainous-
ly slang-whanged labor legislation
and the trade-unions. Not one good
word did these "cultivated" agitators
utter on behalf of humane labor leg-
islation and the uplifting objects of
trade-unionism.
P. G. Ellis, caneworker and repre-
sentative of the Cairns (Queensland)
district Sugar Workers' Union (400
financial members), told the Sugar
Labor Commission that large num-
bers of white men were camped
around the Cairns district now, and
he believed there would be ample
white labor available when the sugar
season commenced. From t(>o to
200 white unemployed were at the
present time camped round the Mul-
grave mill. The men wanted a faii-
wage, fair hours, and fair accommo-
dation. The union considered 25s.
per week and found fair wages for
the slack season, and 30s. for cutting.
The Sydney (New South Wales)
Labor Council has decided to appeal
to affiliated unions for donations on
behalf of the Laundry Employes'
Union, which is endeavoring to bring
certain unfair employers l" their
bearings before the Arbitration
Court, but is being blocked on a tech-
nical point by the bosses' union in
the Supreme Court. The Council
also carried a motion to the effect
that a deputation interview the \t
torney-General, asking that counsel
be retained to defend the Arbitra-
tion Court in argument Upon the rule
nisi to restrain the union from pro
ceeding in the Court.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Journeymen plumbers of San Fran-
cisco recently won a strike for an in-
crease of wages from $5 to $6 per day
of eight hours.
The carmen at the Southern Rail-
way shops at Princeton, Ind., are out
on strike and have been followed by
all the inspectors of the Louisville
and St. Louis division of that road.
Other departments will follow.
Because of the expiration of their
wage contract 2000 union miners at
various commercial coal mines in Ala-
bama, did not return to work on July
2. This makes 5000 union miners on
strike in that State.
President Roosevelt has extended to
the civil service employes and la-
borers in arsenals, depots and divi-
sion and departments commanders'
offices under the War Department the
privilege of a half holiday during
July, August and September, on Sat-
urdays.
The grain elevator business in the
suburbs of South Chicago was
brought to a standstill on July 9,
when 350 employes of the elevators
there went on a strike, demanding an
increase of wages to 35 cents an hour
from the present scale of 27 to 32
cents. Six firms are affected by the
strike.
Labor Commissioner W. V. Staf-
ford, in a letter to R. B. Hale, of
New York, replying to the latter's
telegram asking if a good plumber
and first-class machinist could be
placed in San Francisco, makes the
following statement: "In my opinion
a first-class plumber or a first-class ma
chinist can obtain employment in this
city at any time. I hesitate, however, to
advise, from the fact that while prob
ably all, or nearly all, of the skilled
labor in and around San Francisco
is employed, the work up to this time
so far as the building trades are con-
cerned, has consisted very largely in
the construction of temporary build
ings for stores. A very serious ob-
jection to a material influx of labor
at this time is found in the fact that
there is a great scarcity of dwelling-
houses, rendering the immediate ar-
rival of families undesirable."
In the most sweeping injunction is-
sued since the day of the Northern
Pacific strike United States Judge J.
V. Quarles enjoined the Iron Moldcrs'
Unions and sixty-one individual mem-
bers from interfering in any way with
the business of tht Allis-Chalmers
Company at Milwaukee. The strik-
ing molders are enjoined from inped-
ing, hindering, obstructing or inter-
fering with any of the business of
the company and from entering the
grounds or premises of the complain-
ant against its wish. They are en-
joined from compelling or attempting
to compel or induce by use of threats
or intimidation of any sort, or by
fraud or deception or violence, any
person to leave the employment of
the plaintiff company, and also from
attempting to persuade the employes
of the company to break their con-
tracts and leave the employ of the
plaintiff. Judge Quarles further com-
mands the striking molders to desist
from congregating at or near the
premises of the company with the
purpose to intimidate or obstruct,
surround or impede any of the em-
ployes of the plaintiff. The order fur-
ther provides that the defendants are
not to go to the homes and places
of habitation of any of the employes
for the purpose of persuading or in-
citing them into leaving the Allis-
Chalmers Company.

"Happy coincidence."
"What do you mean?"
"The magazine has just suspended.'
Unrepentant. -"Do you realize that
you are a worm of the dust?" queried
the solemn stranger.
"Xcit altogether," replied the flip
panl r, "I'm too shy "ii the

Parental Solicitude.— "Papa," said
the beautiful girl, "you must not he

"An ice man and not rich! Mj
child, would you tie up with a freak?'

A Real Genius. "You're mistaken
about him; he's very clever."
"Well, he doesn't do anything to
show it; he never did a stroke of work
in his life."
"That's where he shows his clever-
ness. A fellow has to be clever to
make a living without working."
Back Again.— Rimer— 1 sent a poem
to Scribner's Magazine day before
yesterday,
Jenks— Yes? 1 suppose you expect
to se.e it appear pretty soon.
Rimer- It appeared sooner than 1
expected. It was in my mail this
morning.
Reason for Hostility.— "Why did
you hit the man?"
"Your Honor, he called me a liar
and—"
"But perhaps he cou'.d prove it."
"That's the reason 1 hit him."
As a matter of form the judge
named a line but promptly remitted
it.
They Scrapped.— "They were going
to elope last night, but it's all off
now. They couldn't decide upon a
conveyance."
"Why, both he and she own auto-
mobile-."
"That was the whole trouble. Sin-
declared her auto was the best and
he insisted his was."
Mitigation.— The muck raker had
just made an official call, and would
not be denied.
"Well," >aid the cornered citizen, "I
will own to being a self-made 111,111 and
a millionaire, but, by jinks, I'm not
from Pittsburg."
Thereupon the raker informed him
that there would be nothing doing in
the muck line.

CORRESPONDENCE IN THE CASE.
THE flagrant violations of the Navigation
laws by the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association, in its attempt 'o
destroy the organizations of its employes, have
been brought to the attention of the proper au-
thorities as each occasion arose. The corre-
spondence between the seamen's unions and the
respective Federal officials throws an interesting
and instructive light upon the present contro-
versy on the Pacific Coast. The documents in
the case are here presented in full, as follows:
RE. STEAMER CHINA.
SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
San Francisco, Cal., July 13, 1906.
Hon. F. S. Stratton,
Collector of the Port of San Francisco, City.
Sir: We are reliably informed that the steam-
ship China, now in this port, shipped a crew
in Hongkong before the U. S. Consul;
That said crew is composed of Chinese per-
sons, who do not understand the English lan-
guage( and to whom the orders given by the offi-
cers on board ship must be interpreted;
That the orders are being transmitted in the
fire-room through firemen numbers I, 2 and 3,
and on deck through the boatswains;
That for fire and boat drills timely warnings
are given to the crew through these interpre-
ters; and that in such drills the crew obeys cer-
tain bell and whistle signals.
We respectfully submit that bells and whistles
in time of accident may not be possible of use,
and, as was said in our communication dealing
with the crew of the Mongolia, all the different
things necessary to be done in case of disaster
depend upon circumstances and the orders must
be given according to such circumstances.
We further submit that the said crew is in-
sufficient under Section 4463 R. S., as construed
in the City of Rio de Janeiro case by the decision
of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth District,
which decision was appealed to the Supreme
Court of the United States, which latter court
refused to disturb said decision.

William Hennesy, being first duly sworn, de-
poses and says:
I joined the steamer Francis H. Leggett at Re-
dondo, in the State of California, and proceeded
in the said steamer to Ventura in the same State,
thence to San Pedro and thence to San Fran-
cisco, in the capacity of cabin boy, but had to
do other work during the voyage, work that is
usually done by a pantry man or a steward.
The vessel had four young fellows as sailors,
three of whom did not know the compass, nor
how to steer, except what they were taught dur-
ing the voyage.
The vessel took on two passengers at Re-
dondo and brought them to San Francisco. ' I
know they were passengers, because one of them
told me so, and the captain on several occasions
referred to them as "the passengrs."

L. .Toston, being first duly sworn, deposes and
says as follows: .
I read an advertisement for men and hoys to
go in steamers and went to the Pacific Mail Dock
to make inquiries. I met Mr. — Swears, to whom
I applied for a job as a waiter in a liner bound
for China, Japan or Panama. Mr. — Swears
asked what I could do, and I answered that I
had never been to sea before, hut that I would
be willing to try anything on board of a liner
bound for China, Japan or Panama. Mr. Swears
asked me whether 1 would ship as a waiter. I
said I would and would do my best, lie gave
me a note to the steward on the steamer Korea.
I went on board of the said steamer, and found
a large number of young men. ami thought it
somewhat strange that so many men should be
going in that vessel.
Thai night some of the men were taken away
by Mr. Swears, who picked them OUl saying:
"I want you, and you, and you, etc." 1 did not
know where they were taken to. The next morn-
ing another number were taken away in the s
manner, and the following night 1 was taken
away with those who remained. I was not told
where I was going, but was put on hoard of the
Francis H. Leggett in a launch. The said steamer
Francis II. Leggett proceeded to sea immedi-
ately upon our coming on bond, and I did not
know where she was bound until outside of I
rcka, where, upon arrival, I with others, was
i.old to go ashore by the capl
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
I remained in Eureka for about one week in a
destitute condition and was at last compelled to
go on board the Francis H. Leggett and ask to
be taken out of town. The said steamer then
proceeded to Redondo, where I wanted to quit,
but was compelled to stay on board, thence to
Ventura, San Pedro, and returned to San Fran-
where we arrived on the evening of July 2.
\ launch came alongside and we all wanted
ashore in her, and I and another young
man managed to get into the launch.

Hon. F. R. Stratton, Collector of the Port,

Sir: We have reliable information that there
are twenty-two Mexicans, ten on deck and twelve
in the fire-room, of the steamer Curacoa, shipped
in Mexico to serve as a crew from San Fran-
cisco to Mexico. Only four of these men have
any previous experience at sea, and neither of
them have any knowledge of the English lan-
guage.
The Curacoa had a crew, signed for the round
trip at this port, and the Mexicans were hired
in Mexico and brought to this port, where they
are about to sign, as it appears to us, in violation
of the Alien Contract Labor Law and Section
4463 of the Revised Statutes, as construed by the
Court of Appeals in the City of Rio de Janeiro
case.
We respectfully call your attention, in order
that such steps may be taken as shall be proper
under the law.

shipped in Mexico to serve as a crew. Only

This seems to us to be a violation of Section

incapable of understanding the orders given by

to-day or to-morrow. We believe that they are
contract laborers wihin the meaning of the law,
inasmuch as they were not hired in Mexico to act
as a crew from Mexico to San Francisco, but to
be signed on as a crew in San Francisco.

matter, and take such steps as the law shall re-

San Francisco, Cal., July 12, 1906.
Hon. H. H. North, U. S. Commissioner of Im-
migration, City.
Sir: In addition to our letter of yesterday's
date, we desire to say that, from information
which we have been able to glean, the steamer
Curacoa left San Francisco with a full crew — her
usual complement — for Mexico. She engaged an
extra crew of Mexicans at Mazatlan, and had
them sign articles before the U. S. Consul in
that port to go to San Francisco and return to
Mexico. If the vessel at that time had been with-
out a crew, this would have been done in ac-
cordance with Act of June 26, 1884, Section 20;
but she had her usual number of a crew, and
they were kept at work doing duty until her
arrival in San Francisco, where they left the ves
sel, and their places were filled by the crew hired
at Mazatlan.
The claim is made that they were to sign over
at .American wages at this port, but, since a vessel
trading to Mexico is not bound to sign articles be-
fore the United States Shipping Commissioner,
it has not been possible for us to verify this re-
port.
The shipment of a crew here, their departure
from this port and return to this port can no
doubt be verified at the Custom House.
It has been repeatedly decided by the Supreme
Court that an American vessel is part of the
territory of the State in which she is registered.
From this it would appear that this Mexican cre>v
were hired at Mexico, brought to a -port of the
United States for the purpose of serving as a
crew in place of the crew then on board.
This appears to us to be a violation of the
Alien Contrac Labor law, and that the Mexicans
so hired should be returned to Mexico as passen-
gers.

A. FURUSETH,

SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
San Francisco, Cal., July 3, 1906.
lion. F. S. Stratton, Collector of the Port of San
Francisco.
Sir: We take the liberty of calling your at-
tention to the fact that the steamship Siberia
is now lying in the port of San Francisco, sched-
uled to sail for Hongkong via other ports on the
7th instant.
The vessel has departed from this port frequent-
ly for the same voyage during the two or more
years last past, and on each voyage has carried
a crew, the whole whereof, excepting only the offi-
cers and petty officers, are Chinese, unable to
speak the English language. She has now on
board a crew for the voyage above mentioned
consisting of over two hundred of such Chinese,
they comprising the whole of the working staff
of the deck, engineer's and steward's depart-
ments, and comprise at least ninety per cent of
the total manning force of the said vessel.
The officers of the said vessel cannot speak the
language of the Chinese persons mentioned, nor
can the said Chinese speak the language of the
officers.
The vessel has carried, and on the voyage men-
tioned will carry, passengers.
We maintain that the vessel is not properly
manned, and clearance to her should be refused
by your office.
Under a similar state of facts, the United States
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said as
follows:
"The case shows that the City of Rio de Janeiro
left the port of Honolulu on the voyage under
consideration with a crew of 84 Chinamen, offi-
cered by white men. The officers could not speak
the language of the Chinese, and but two of the
latter, the boatswain and chief fireman, could un-
derstand that of the officers
• We have no hesitation in holding that the ship
was insufficiently manned, for the reason that the
sailors were unable to understand and execute the
orders made imperative by the emergency that
unhappily arose and resulted so disastrously to
life and property."
The above language is taken from a decision
rendered May 2, 1 901, and reported in the Federal
Reporter on page 76, and we are advised that the
Supreme Court of the United States refused to
disturb the decision upon a petition presented to
it in that behalf.
The Honorable Court of Appeals above men-
tioned further held that a vessel was not suffi-
ciently manned unless she carried a crew sufficient
for all contingencies.
Section 4463 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States, to which we take the liberty of call-
ing your attention, reads as follows:
"Section 4463. No steamer carrying passengers
shall depart from any port unless she shall have
in her service a full complement of licensed offi-
cer- and a full crew, sufficient at all times to
manage the vessel, including the proper number
of watchmen. But if any such vessel, on her voy-
age, is deprived of the service of any licensed
officer, without the consent, fault or collusion of
the master, owner, or any person interested in the
vessel, the deficiency may be temporarily supplied
until other licensed officers can be obtained."
You will observe that the exception contained
in the above section only applies to the case of
where licensed officers may be supplied, but we
advise you that a sufficient crew of competent
men speaking the language of the officers who
command them can be obtained in San Francisco
to man the Siberia at this time.

CONFESSION OF MUTINEER.
Two prisoners confined at Wilmington, N.
C, where they are sentenced to be hanged, may
secure a reprieve and possibly a pardon or re-
mission of sentence as a result of a letter
written by a man supposed to be their con-
federate in a mutiny.
The writer of the letter was hanged July 7,
and his letter frees his fellow prisoners from
blame and admits that at first he wished to
see them hanged out of revenge.
The letter gives the details of one of the
most bloody mutinies ever recorded, in which
the master, mate, engineer, cook and one mem-
ber of the crew of the Harry A. Berwind were
killed. The vessel left Philadelphia, Pa., bound
for Cuba with a cargo of coal, on October 10
last, and was found running wild by the crew
of a schooner off Frying Pan Shoal, in charge
of four colored men.
One of these men was killed by a companion
just as the schooner boarded the vessel. It
quickly became known that a mutiny had oc-
curred, but conflicting stories were told and all
three survivors were condemned. The man
first hanged, Henry Scott, now writes telling
for the first time the full story of die mutiny
and claiming that he killed all the white men
himself.
The members of the crew of the Ber-
wind were shipped from a sailors' boarding
house at $20 south Randolph street, in charge
of Philip Edwards. It was to Edwards that
the letter came addressed and created a great
stir among the men now stopping at the house
who knew most of the members of the ill-fated
crew. Edwards has forwarded the letter to
the United States District Attorney at Wil-
mington.
The letter practically amounts to a confes-
sion. It was written upon July 4, three days
before Scott was hanged and was evidently left
in the hands of someone who delayed posting
it. The letter, with its thrilling story of the
mutiny, is as follows :
Wilmington County Jail, July 4.
Sir: Mr. Edwards, I write you these few
lines for the very last time for yourself and
family, and all the boys, to which I hope and
trust that when you hear the good news you
will feel quite better.
Why, Ed, I killed the captain, mate, cook,
engineer and threw two overboard. Those
were the captain and cook. The mate I shot
and pushed overboard. The engineer I made
jump overboard and shot him also to keep him
from suffering while he was alive. The cap-
lain and cook were dead already.
The cause of the tragedy was this : We were
beastly treated on that vessel from the time we
left Philadelphia for Cuba. We were not get-
ting enough to eat. Coakly went to the cook.
The cook" sent him to see the captain. The
captain told Coakly we were getting enough to
eat, and that started all the trouble.
We could get little water to drink and none
to wash our face and hands. So Sawyer called
for our whack and to make matters worse the
cook would not cook it. The captain told him
not to.
We had to work like anything. When we
got to the Bahama Islands the captain in re-
venge and to spite us, gave away and sold our
stores to the people for sponges, shells and
bananas. Anyway, we got to Cuba and got
the coal out in ten days. We then went to
Mobile City.
The captain even put salt water in our drink-
ing water to spite us. But we got laden and
started for home. Coming up, off Frying Pan
Shoal, the mate and engineer tackled me about
sawing wood and I hit them both, but when I
saw the cook coming to help them I promptly
shot all three. Then I went to the cabin. The
captain was in bed and I put two bullets into
him. While things were hot I came on deck
and saw the engineer coming up from the gal-
ley. I threw him over and just riddled him
with bullets before he could sink.
Sawyer and Adams were below and Coakly
called them up. Anyway, I killed the four
white men and overboard they went, and as I
know colored people are so foolish all that I
had to do was to kill the others, I mean Sawyer,
Adams and Coakly and get about my busi-
ness. But I said to myself: "No, it would be a
shame to kill these men.'
I called them and told them my plan for
escape and all three said yes. I told them if
we were captured I would tell and let them go
and stand the punishment. Everything was
fixed all right. As the rudder head was sprung
I was going to let go of the big boat and say
we got waterlogged and left the vessel. After
the boat swamped we would swim back to the
vessel, take her into port and give the alarm.
When I was about to let go of the boat about
six o'clock in the evening, Sawyer grabbed me
and all three of them jumped on me and
chained and tied me after I had saved their
lives and telling them not to do it as the white
people would not believe I killed all those white
people myself.
But they would not believe me. All of the
white people were killed. After they had me
under arrest I told them they were going to
hang all four of us if they did not lynch us.
But Mr. Sawyer knew better just because he
belongs to an order. But all I had to do was to
implicate all of them and hang us all. As
Coakly saw everything I had to kill him, as they
got us, as he saw when I pushed the captain
overboard.
Ed, I am putting it square to you and the
boys. Sawyer and Adams I ought to hang
them. They have done me dirty, dirty. I did
not want the world to know of this, especially
for the colored sadors and the race. I did not
care about myself. I had killed enough white
men to die. Coakly, I killed as a traitor, and
Sawyer and Adams I was going to hang as
traitors.
But, Ed, I am going to let them go for you,
Louis, Antonio and the boys' and their parents'
sake, and all the race. They are going to hang
me, so all I had to do was to commit suicide and
let them hang them, but I think better.
There's no one could save them but me —
Henry Scott. Not even the President has the
power, so, therefore, Ed, I will let them go
for you and the boys. I hope each and every-
one will appreciate it. I have composed a nice
ragtime for you and the boys.
Why, if Kuroki, Nogi and Oyama and all
those Japanese had only seen me using those
thirty-eights of mine on the battlefield it would
have made them look like five cents, espe-
cially Togo and Nogi.
Ed, I tired of the white people's foolishness.
I have got enough of them. I am going to fight,
like anything to save the boys from the gal-
lows. Be good to all of you on this earth. I
could have let them go before, but they might
have lynched all of us. My lawyer told me so.
Yours truly, sir,
NOBLE HISTORY SAILOR SCOTT,
My name is Henry Scott.
The American schooner George Edwin, of
Grand Manan Island, was lost at the mouth
of the Bay of Fundy recently. It is believed
that all on board were saved. The schooner
was bound for New York. She was of 94 nel
and 90 gross tonnage, 88 feet in length, and
carried a crew of three. She was built in Nor-
port, N. Y., in 1871.
A "STOWAWAY" DODGE.
The Immigration officials at Boston, Mass.,
recently discovered eighteen men, six of them
diseased, and the remainder cither criminals
or otherwise ineligible for admission to the
United States, hidden beneath the canvas cov-
ers of the life boats of the White Star liner
Romanic, and thereby uncovered a bold
scheme of human smuggling which it is
is thought has been practiced foi some time.
For a long time the Immigration officials
have been aware that men were being smug-
gled into Boston and yesterday Commissioner
Billings took his whole force with him to meet
the Romanic, and had the entire crew mus-
tered forward. One of the stewards slipping
away, Deputy Commissioner Hurley followed
him, and saw him run up a ladder to the top
of a small deckhouse directly over the stern,
where are kept four large lifeboats. Mr. Hur-
ley climbed up after him and forced him down
the ladder, after which he lifted the end of the
canvas cover of one of the boats.
One look was enough. lie unfastened the
lacings of the canvas and called Commissioner
Billings. Under the cover were ten men and
eight more were found in the other boats.
The whole party was disarmed and man I d
ashore in irons, six of them being pul in the
pen hospital. They confessed that they had
paid from twenty to eighty dollars each to the
agents of the smuggling syndicate for par-
age across. They were hidden in the lifeboats
when the purser made his customary search
for stowaways, but afterward mingled with
the other passengers until they neared port.
Two stewards whom the stowaways pointed
out as being concerned in the smuggling
scheme are in irons and the United States
Marshal will be asked for warrants for two
others who are missing. The stowaways will
be sent back to Italy, where they will lie jailed.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Labor Day this year will be the twentieth
anniversary of labor's holiday in Massachus-
etts. The labor organizations are making
special efforts to have this year's celebration
and parade in Boston a fitting testimonial to
labor's strength by having every organization
participate in the parade. It is expected that
when every organization had been visited the
number will amount to close on to _>5,o(x> peo-
ple in line. It is expected that there will be
three divisions. The Central Labor union
will have the right of the line, and the Build-
ing Trades and District Assembly 30 (orig-
inal) will follow. Governor Guild and Mayor
Fitzgerald will be invited to review the parade,
the former at the Stale House and the latter
at the City Hall.

William Alexander et al, have filed a libel in
the United States District Court at San Francisco,
against the steamer Vanguard, alleging $175 dam-
ages done to their bark Edward in a collision
with the Vanguard.
The n'ew schooner Washcalore, Captain
Hughes, returned to San Francisco on July 17 on
account of the parting of the hawser connecting
her with the steamer Northland off Fish Rock
on the 16th, while in tow for Gray's Harbor.
J. Hickey, pilot of the ferry-boat Thoroughfare,
and Captain G. H. Enas of the steamer Argon-
aut have been suspended from duty for five days
by the steamboat inspectors for negligence of
duty that resulted in a collision of those vessels
in Oakland Creek on June 25. The damage
caused by the collision amounted to about $300.
The new river steamer La Republic, built by the
Fulton Iron Works, at San Francisco, for use on
the rivers of Colombia, in South America, was
launched on July 21. Since her original comple-
tion the vessel has been lengthened and her
boiler capacity increased. She is soon to sail
for her future headquarters.
John Oberhauser, a seaman on the cod-fishing
schooner Czarina, which arrived at San Francisco
on July 19, from Alaska, reports that six men,
who composed the crew of the wrecked schooner
Marion, are in jail at Unga, awaiting the arrival
of a Government vessel from the United States
before they can take passage for home.
In a rough sea outside the Golden
Gate, San Francisco, on July 20, the
new United States protected cruiser Mil-
waukee made a speed of 22 1-3 knots an hour,
in occasional half-hour spurts, and showed her-
self to be a worthy follower of the Oregon,
Olympia and other products of the Union Iron
Works.
The action of Captain George H. Harvey, a
San Francisco pilot in directing the course of the
new United States cruiser Milwaukee in her
builders' trial trip, has aroused a protest among
the pilots, some of whom assert that Harvey, hav-
ing a license entitling him to pilot vessels of only
1000 tons, could not legally take the Milwaukee
out.
Captain Arthur Connor, who recently arrived
at San Francisco in command of the oil-carrying
steamer Eansing, from Philadelphia, is to return
to the Eastern coast to bring out another tank
steamer for the Union Oil Company. His place
as commander of the Lansing has been taken by
Captain C. F. Harriman, late of the Oceanic liner
Sonoma.
More vessels are now on the way to San Fran-
cisco from Antwerp than for years past. With
few exceptions the cargoes consist of structural
steel, cement and other building material. Of
th« twenty-seven ships and- steamers listed from
Antwerp fifteen are already on the way. These
include four British steamers — the Foreric, out
fifty-nine days; the Visigoth and the Knight St.
George, out fifty-seven days, and the Frankby,
not yet sailed.
The libel of the St. Paul Fire and Marine In-
surance Company, with the California City Rock
as intervener, against the steam tug Tiger and
the steamer Robert Dollar, has been decided
by Judge De Haven, in the United States District
Court at San Francisco, in favor of the libelant
and the intervener. The action was to recover
insurance paid on the Tiger and the Robert Dol-
lar, which were recently damaged in collision
with each other.
Ten seamen from the "hell ship" Atlas were
brought across the Pacific from Japan by the
steamer Montara and landed at Seattle, Wash.
The story of the cruelty practiced upon these
men by Captain Ambermann and his mates during
the passage of the Atlas from New York to Yo-
kohama was recently published. The entire crew
of more than a score of men left the ship at her
destination, and their complaints were thoroughly
investigated by Consul-General Miller.
Large purchases of raw sugar are being made
in Java and the Southern Philippines by the
Western Sugar Refinery of San Francisco, and a
big fleet of steamers of great capacity is under
charter to carry the product to this port. The
vessels already known to be chartered include
the British steamers Newby Hall, Marthara,
Khalif and Ashtabula, and there are three others
of large capacity also in view, the names of
which have not been made public.
On her trip from Cape Blanco to Cape Flat-
tery, en route from Hamburg to Seattle, Wash.,
via San Francisco, the Kosmos liner Memphis
was followed by a big school of whales. A num-
ber of the whales, Captain von Helms says, were
of monstrous size. One of the latter which, while
going at a terrific rate underneath the water,
rammed the Memphis amidships. The vessel was
not loaded and heeled over to port from the im-
pact. The craft had no sooner righted herself
than another shock was felt.
Judge J. J. De Haven, in the United States Dis-
trict Court at San Francisco, on July 19, handed
down an opinion favoring the libelant in the case
of B. H. Tietjen and Charles Lund vs. the steamer
A. C. Freese. This boat and the Mary and Edith
belonging to the plaintiff, recently came into col-
lision in the slough near Cornazzani Island. The
Court found that both boats were at fault, and
awarded the Mary and Edith one-half the dam-
ages she sustained, the amount to be determined
by United States Commissioner James Brown.
With a cargo of 153,409 codfish and several
tons of codfish tongues, the schooner Czarina,
Captain Koehler, arrived at San Francisco, on
July 19, 17 1-2 days from Pirate Cove, Alaska.
The schooner reports having spoken the cod-
fishers Glen, Maid of Orleans, Lizzie Colby, Car-
rier Dove and Fortuna off Caton at a late date,
all with light catches. The Czarina left San Fran-
cisco on February 26 last, and while her own
catch was light, the codfish gathered up at the va-
rious stations of the Union Fish Company made
up a full cargo, and she arrived fully laden.
The sealing schooner Acapulco, formerly the
Carmencita, made notorious because of the illicit
cruises in Behring Sea of Captain Alexander Mc-
Lean, was sold at Victoria, B. C, on July 20, by
W. W. Wilson, of San Francisco, through Lloyd's
agent, Captain J. G. Fox, to George W. Beerma-
ker of California, representing a Mexican guano
company. The price paid was $2000. The schooner
is without flag or country, her Mexican registry
having been canceled because of the seal-poach-
ing cruises of Captain McLean. The vessel will
be taken to Mexico and her owners expect to se-
cure a Mexican registry.
That the Consul of the Netherlands has exclu-
sive authority to settle all demands made by
alien sailors on Dutch ships for wages was the
decision rendered by Judge Hanford at Seattle,
Wash., on July 19. In dismissing the libel against
the Dutch bark Emanuel, Judge Hanford held
that the United States Court had no jurisdiction
to settle disputes over wages between alien sail-
ors on Dutch ships in American ports. After the
bark was libeled Judge Hanford continued all
further proceedings until Dutch Consul Masill
reached Seattle from San Francisco. The two
searrfen were declared deserters, and one, an
American, was arrested.
A telegram received on July 18 by the San
Francisco Board of Marine Underwriters from
Eureka reported that the steamer Chico was a
total loss. The Chico was reported yesterday as
having gone ashore at Shelter Cove. The vessel
was owned by Swayne & Hoyt, and her value was
approximately $20,000. The Chico has had a va-
ried career on the Coast. She was built at Ta-
coma in 1890, and was first known as the Alice
Blanchard, later falling into the hands of a Mexi-
can firm and being renamed Ignacio Mariscal.
Still later she was renamed Alice Blanchard, and
subsequently, under her present owners, was
called Chico. She was 146 feet long and had a
gross tonnage of 362.
After an unfortunate voyage of 280 days, the
French bark Anne de Bretagne, arrived at San
Francisco on July 22. She left Swansea with a
cargo of coal, but while off Montevideo broke her
steering gear. She laid there from November
25 until March 10, undergoing repairs before con-
tinuing her voyage to San Francisco. She was
forced to discharge a portion . of her cargo in
order to pay the costs of towage and repairs.
The British steamer Plymouth, which picked her
up at sea and towed her into Montevideo, claimed
10,000 francs as her towage charges. She ar-
rived at San Francisco, however, with a portion
of her cargo, which was consigned to Girvin &
Eyre. Captain Buguat is master of the bark.
Captain John Bermingham, Supervising Inspec-
tor, has revoked the decision of the Local Inspec-
tors of Portland, Or., who had suspended for one
year the master's license of Captain Samuel Boni-
field of the schooner J. B. Stetson, which was
in collision with the barkentine Jane L. Stan-
ford off the Columbia River, June 12. Captain
Bermingham says that Captain Bonifield was not
on deck at the time of the collision, therefore he
could not be suspended for lack of skill or negli-
gence in handling his vessel. However, he blames
Captain Bonifield for not slowing up after the
collision for the purpose of ascertaining how bad-
ly the Jane L. Stanford was damaged. The col-
lision resulted in the latter losing her bowsprit,
her fore-topmast and part of her stern, while the
Stetson escaped practically unhurt.

The launching of the new mammoth Cunar-
der Lusitania has once more started the race
between English and German companies for
the fastest and biggest passenger steamer
across the Atlantic. No sooner is the Lu-
sitania afloat than the Hamburg-American
Line announces its intention to outdo the
Cunard by building an even bigger and
swifter vessel.
There was a time when the leading com-
panies were all engaged in a rivalry to own
the fastest boats, but they reached a develop-
ment in speed some ten years ago beyond
which an increase meant such an added ex-
pense and such a decreased passenger and
freight capacity (on account of the room re-
quired for machinery and coal) that it was
no longer profitable unless for a single ship
in a large fleet, run mainly as an advertise-
ment. Thus the record between New York
and Queenstown of 5 days 7 hours and 23 min-
utes, made by the Lucania in 1894, has stood
ever since. Since then the race has been con-
fined to the Hamburg-American and North
German Lloyd between New York and
Plymouth.
The new Cunard liner Lusitania is built to
make twenty-five knots an hour. Her great
size is only incidental. It was sought to make
her the fastest, but not necessarily the largest
liner. Her size was decided upon finally simply
as furnishing the best conditions for securing
the desired speed.
The reason for the construction of the Lusi-
tania and her sister ship, the Mauritania, which
is to follow, was the fear in England — amount-
ing almost to panic — that that country would
lose her supremacy in the transatlantic trade
in consequence of the merger effected here
as the International Mercantile Marine.
The English Government joined hands with
the Cunard Company to prevent such a re-
sult, guaranteeing the bonds issued for the
construction of the two boats and agreeing
to most liberal mail subsidies provided the ves-
sels could maintain an average of twenty-five
knots an hour.
It was thus under exceptional circumstances
that the plans for the new twin Cunarders
were laid. The problem was a big one. The
fastest British steamships up to that time were
the twenty-two-knot boats, the Campania and
Lucania, while the Kaiser Wilhelm II made
twenty-three and one-half knots. It was neces-
sary to make the new vessels as much faster
than the German boat as she was faster than
the Campania and Lucania. After many tests
turbine engines were adopted to this end.
It was estimated that 68,000 horsepower
would be required, as against 30,000 on the
Campania and Lucania and 40,000 in the Kai-
ser Wilhelm II. Four propellers were decided
upon, with four turbines for going ahead and
two for going astern. To supply these with
steam requires twenty-five boilers with 192 fur-
naces. The steam pressure will be 200 pounds
to the square inch. It will require approxi-
mately 1000 tons of coal a day to drive the
Lusitania across the Atlantic.
The Lusitania is 790 feet in length over all
and 760 feet on (he water line. The Kaiser
Wilhelm II is 706 feet, and the Campania
and Lucania 620 feet over all. The breadth
of the Lusitania is SX feet, and when loaded
to the extreme she will have a draught of 33
Eeel and a displacement of about 40,000 tons.
There arc eight decks, and the gross tonnage
is about 32,500. The gross tonnage of the
Campania and Lucania is 13,000 and of the
Kaiser Wilhelm II, 19,360.

WEDNESDAY,
JULY 25, 1906.
UNDERM AN NI N G PROVED.
The documents printed on page i of this
issue, under the caption, "Correspondence
in the Case," demonstrate to every reason-
able mind the truth of the seamen's charges
that the shipowners, in their desperate at-
tempt to destroy tlie seamen's unions, are
resorting to open and notorious violations of
law in the matter of the requirements as
to the number and efficiency of ships' crews.
The facts submitted by Secretary Furuseth
to the respective authorities tell their own
tale of absolutely inexperienced men em-
ployed in the most responsible capacities;
of crimps engaged in the nefarious business
of impressing unsuspecting nun and boys;
of youths placed on board ship under gross
misrepresentation and afterward kept on
board by sheer force; of boat and fire drills
dispensed with entirely or held under farci-
cal conditions, as in the Umatilla ease, for
instance, in which the drills were held along-
side the dock and with the aid of long-
shoremen; of crews composed of men un-
able to speak a word of English; of quarter-
masters unable to distinguish between
"port" and "starboard"; of crews shipped in
direct violation of the Alien Contract Labor
law, etc., etc.
The replies to these communications also
tell their own tale. In every instance the
reply is either a point-blank denial of the
charges, an evasion of the issue or a refer-
ence from one official to another. Taken as a
whole, the effect of the seamen's efforts to
invoke the law against the practices of the
United Shipping and Transportation
eiation is to add new force — and also new
humor- to the well-known story of the Cir-
cumlocution Office. Evidently, anyone who
"wants to know" whether or not the Asso-
ciation is amenable to any law, municipal,
State or National, human or divine, must
"fill out some blanks" — and keep on "fill-
ing out more blanks" until he or she gets
tired of the farce.
The character of the replies made to the
facts presented by Secretary Furuseth would
lead the average observer to infer that the
officials making them are decidedly partial
to the shipowners. This inference is
strengthened, rather than otherwise, by the
knowledge that many, if not all, of these
officials depend to a great extent upon the
shipowners for their appointment to and re-
tention in office. The tenor of these official
communications affords ground for the sus-
1 thai they have been dictated in the
1. tints of the Association or of some of the
members of that body. Of course, this is
merely a suspicion. However grave the
charge thus implied, it is one that cannot
but arise in the mind so long as the relations
between Government officials and private
shipping corporations remain as these now
are — that is, as the relations of employe to
empl< 13 er.
The "Correspondence in the Case" forms
an interesting chapter in the controversy be-
tween the seamen's unions and the United
Shipping and Transportation Association.
Those of the public who have occasion to
travel or ship freight on the vessels of the
Association will not fail to see the humor of
a situation in which their lives and property
are balanced in the scale with the Asso-
ciation's ambition to "run its own business"!
ON THE SUBJECT OF GEESE.
United States Circuit Judge Morrow, of
San Francisco, in the course of the hearings
in the petition of the Hammond Lumber
Company for an injunction against the sea-
men's unions, is reported to have said (with
a smile) that inasmuch as the evidence giv-
en by the seamen showed their desire to
prevent violence, the issuance of an injunc-
tion against the commission of violence
would be of benefit to them (the seamen)
as well as to the company! All very fine
and very funny, your Honor. The trouble,
however, is that an injunction such as is
asked fur would prevent the seamen from
doing many things which they desire to do
and which they have a legal right to do.
This latter feature of the case isn't quite
so funny, as your Honor will readily per-
ceive. The seamen, and organized labor
generally object to Government by Injunc-
tion, not so much because it prohibits them
from doing that which they have no legal
right to do (although even in this regard
the injunction is a distinct supercession of
the law), as because it restrains them from
exercising their rights, legal and moral. This
statement of the case is intended quite se-
riously, your Honor.
"There is no lumber trust," assert the
shipowners when charged with responsibil-
ity for the great increase in the price of lum-
ber. Of course there isn't. The trust in the
case is merely a combination for the purpose
of "busting up the unions." Now that they
know the real import of the rise in prices,
those who use lumber in their business will
doubtless pungle up with perfect good na-
ture. Possibly the attainment of the object
sought ii. e.. the destruction of the unions),
may serve as an additional encouragement
in the process. And possibly not!
( k-eanic liner Alameda sailed from
San Francisco last week with a full union
crew. This fact has been variously
"claimed" as a victory for the Transporta-
tion Association and for the seamen's
unions. The Journal makes no claims of
any kind: it simply announces the fact that
the vessels of the Oceanic Steamship Com-
pany will continue to be manned, as they
have been for years past, by union crews in
all departments.
The "goose that lays the golden egg" !s
now the bird of San Francisco's destiny.
The phoenix lias arisen from its ashes and
is now occupying a one-story shack.
Skidoo the fabled bird of the new birth;
let's see what's doing among the other mem-
bers of the feathered tribe. ( )f course, the
goose commands our immediate attention;
also, of course, somebody is detected in the
act of killing her. Almost seems as though
that blessed fowl had been created for the
very purpose of being killed while in the
performance of her duty. Anyway, we have
never heard of the u1 " >sc that lays the gold-
en egg except in connection with some in-
tended or accomplished act of assassination.
And yet the goose still lives and its fruit
still "keeps"!
Somebody is again meditating the murder
of the goose. Needless to say,
that somebody is the labor union.
( »h. Labor, how many geese have
been killed in thy name! How many
golden eggs remain unlayed because you have
killed the fowl that should have cackled over
them ! The criminal statistics will never
be complete until this "crime of the cen-
turies" is set forth in all the enormity
of facts and figures. Unnumbered genera-
tions of murdered geese cry out for ven-
geance; unnumbered quantities of unborn
breakfast-food bemoan the fate that stayed
them in the process of being laved.
As usual, the San Francisco Chronicle is
the accuser in the case. That paper, pos-
sibly by natural affinity, is very much wor-
ried over the fate of the goose. It declares
that the labor unions, by reason of their de-
mands for higher wages, are in clanger of
killing the source of the golden egg. In
other words, if Labor would but content it-
self to work long hours for low wages, the
goose would continue to lay a big one every
other morning. Thus would Labor continue
to have all the work it wants, while the
goose would continue to have all the eggs
it can lay. Such a situation would be ideal
— for the goose. Still, it must be borne in
mind that Nature has in view a great object
in the egg-laying scheme. Some eggs are
layed to be eaten, others to be — well, to
bring forth the little chick, each of its kind.
Otherwise stated, eggs are valuable mainly
for reproductive purposes. The golden egg
is valuable mainly as a means of exchanging
the products of labor — as a medium of ex-
change. Golden eggs are reproduced in
proportion as they are distributed in wages.
The surest way to kill the goose that lays
the golden egg is to let the said egg lie un-
used or only partly used.
Put why attempt to seriously discuss the
Chronicle's views on the subject of geese or
their products? The Chronicle quotes myth-
ology merely to disguise its attempt to knock
the labor movement, with the ultimate pur-
pose of placing upon that institution the
odium that properly attaches to the geese
that raise rents and otherwise increase the
cost of living, including the cost of lumber.
The Chronicle need have no fears. The goose
that lays the golden egg will continue do-
ing business at the old stand as long as La-
bor is available for the purpose of putting
her product to good uses. We would sug-
gest, however, that the Chronicle exercise
a care over the goose that lays its leaden
editorials.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Mr. Furuseth, gentleman boss and hobnobber
with millionaire lumbermen, is asked to answer
the question as to how he manages to profess
peaceful arguments in San Francisco harbor and
murder at the docks in Portland? It is high
time the military took a hand in settling this
situation. How many more men is this czar
to sacrifice to his greed for making money?
The foregoing is clipped from a mass of
stuff of the same variety published in a cer-
tain San Francisco weekly. The omission
of name will do no injustice, since all the
weeklies of that city are easily
divided into two classes, the clean
sheets — and the corporation sheets.
The views here reproduced bear
their own marks of identification ; to further
specify would be to defile these columns and
to make an invidious distinction between the
rag in question and its co-workers on the
dunghills of "society" and plutocracy. The
statements concerning Furuseth, particularly
the reference to "his greed for making mon-
ey," are ridiculous, and, in fact, beneath con-
tempt. The men who make these statements
are fully aware of their falsity. These men
lie partly for the lust of lying and partly for
the lust of money. Whether the lie be aimed
at the character of a "labor leader" or at the
virtue of a woman matters not ; the bigger
the lie, the bigger their pay ; the bigger the
scandal, the bigger their circulation among
those who enjoy that sort of thing. Of such
are the press organs of the shipowners. The
United Shipping and Transportation Asso-
ciation is to be congratulated upon the char-
acter of its champions !
First Mate J. Going, of the schooner Snow
and Burgess, charged with shooting a sea-
man named Fritz Harmening, was dis-
charged by United States Commissioner
Heacock, at San Francisco, last week. The
shooting was not denied, the evidence in
that regard being produced in court in the
form of a shattered shoulder-blade. Other
evidence went to show that Harmening had
been guilty of whistling and singing while
on the lookout and that he had failed to
say "Sir" when addressing his superior of-
ficer. Captain Albert Sorenson and Second-
mate Charles Smith testified that the crew-
had been "insubordinate." Consequently
Commissioner Heacock, whose long experi-
ence in such matters amply qualifies him to
determine such questions, dismissed the
case. Discipline must be maintained — by
authority to shoot, in the absence of better
means of commanding respect!
The preliminary examination of Captain
Hammar, Hubbard, Cahill, Martin and Mc-
Connell, charged with the murder of Com-
rade Kelner, on the steam-schooner Na-
tional City, in San Francisco Bay on June
17, is still progressing before Police Judge
Cabannis. The evidence introduced on both
sides justifies the predicton that these men
will be held to trial for their crime. In the
latter event, there is little doubt that the
"gun-fighters" of the Transportation Asso-
ciation will receive a good measure of their
just deserts.
The Western Laborer, of Omaha, Neb.,
announces the beginning of its sixteenth year
of publication and the twelfth under its pres-
ent management. Brother Kennedy is to be
congratulated upon his ability to stay with
it. May the days of the Laborer be long in
the land, is the sincere wish of yours frater-
nally, the Journal.
According to the San Francisco press, the
price of lumber in that city has again been
raised, the advance amounting to about $1
per thousand feet on rough or common lum-
ber and $2 per thousand on flooring, rustic
and all the better timber. This latest increase
makes an advance of between $4 and $5 per
thousand since the big blaze. Lumber deal-
ers, both wholesalers and retailers, deny any
complicity in the plot. The shipowners, how-
ever, plead guilty to the soft impeachment,
but — but, of course, it's all due to the fact
that "it costs more to run our vessels, and
fifty per cent moreto land lumber here than it
did a few weeks ago." The discerning reader
will note that the difference in cost of lum-
ber now and before the seamen's lockout
isn't being paid to the union crews. No,
siree ! The difference goes entirely to the
crimps and "gun-fighters" employed by the
shipowners to secure and retain non-union
crews. In other words, the public is being
made to pay the cost of the attempt of the
United Shipping and Transportation Associ-
ation to destroy the seamen's unions. How
do you like it, Mr. Public ? The public, and
especially that part of it which is organized
in unions of its own, may take its own time
in answering.
The Star, of San Francisco, has resumed
publication, after a brief period of suspension
due to the "late unpleasantness' in that city.
Our old contemporary reappears enlarged in
form and improved in other ways. The Star
will be welcomed — the more warmlybecause
it has recently been missed — by the readers
of that sterling and time-tried publication as
an evidence that San Francisco has in reality
"resumed the normal" — in other words, that
the people of that city have resumed the hab-
its of reading and thinking, as well as those
of buying and selling. The Journal extends
felicitations to Editor Barry and his staff and
bespeaks for them the fullest measure of re-
ward due their courageous and disinterested
labors.
True to its traditions, the first issue of the
rejuvenated Star, of San Francisco, contains
a good account of the circumstances leading
up to the present dispute between the sea-
men's unions and the United Shipping and
Transportation Association. The Star cor-
rectlv diagnoses the cause of the trouble —
namely, a desire to destroy the seamen's
unions — and places the blame where it be-
longs— namely, at the door of the Citizens'
Alliance. The Star is the first, and as yet
the only, paper, outside the labor press,
that has given the seamen a "square deal"
in the circumstances. If we do not miss
our guess, that paper is likely to continue
indefinitely in the enjoyment of that marked
but by no means unusual distinction.
"Messages to Workingmen" is the title
of a book by the Rev. Charles Stelzle, for-
merly a practical machinist and still a mem-
ber of the International Association of Ma-
chinists, hut for some time past engaged in
church work. The "Messages" form an in-
teresting discussion of the labor problem
in its relation to the tenets of Christianity,
a phase of the question that is no less im-
portant because it is quite generally over-
looked, even by the professed teachers of re-
ligion. Mr. Stelzle brings to his work b.
happy combination of practical and theologi-
cal viewpoints, which makes his treatment
of the subject illuminating and instructive.

LORAIN'S NEW HARBOR.
ORDERS FOR TWO FREIGHTERS.
A short time ago it was announced that
a syndicate of capitalists had bought be-
tween four and five thousand acres of land
at ( )ak Point, a few miles west of Lorain, O.,
intending to start an extensive steel plant.
Confirmation has been obtained in the state-
ment by a well-informed financier and ma-
rine man who declared that in the purchase
of land alone there has been an outlay of
upwards of $1,000,000 to date. In addition
to this it is declared that about $2,000 has
been spent in making plans and arrange-
ments for the new harbor that is to be con-
structed.'
One of the vital points in connection with
these improvements is that it is expected
to be financed almost entirely by Cleveland
capitalists and some prominent Cleveland
men closely in touch with the retail mer-
cantile business in Cleveland are backers
of the enterprise and its promoters. The
work has been going on quietly for the last
year or more and developments have reached
a stage where something definite will be
done in a very short time.
From a strictly marine standpoint the in-
terest in this development centers in the fact
tha a enirely new class of harbor is going
to be built on the chain of Lakes. In the
first place, all other harbors have been as-
sisted by the United States Government.
This new harbor will be fully as complete
as any of the others, but will be built entire-
ly by private capital, without the invest-
ment o fone dollar of the Government's
money. All other harbors on the chain
of Lakes are built up around the
mouth of a creek or river. This new
harbor will abandon the creek which
enters the Lake at that point and will be
built from the shore alone following the
often repeated recommendation of Colonel
Dan C. Kingman that creeks and rivers dam-
aged rather than assisted a harbor.
Plans have been made for extending ma-
sonry piers a considerable distance out into
the Lake and dredging between to permit
the entrance and unloading of the largest
boats on the chain of Lakes. Room is to
be :_;iven also for any increase in the size
of Lake vessels. Surrounding these piers a
ruble-mound breakwater will be constructed
at the cost of several millions of dollars and
at the expense of the backers of this enter-
prise.
When the new boat of the D. and C. line
is completed she will be put on the Cleve-
land run .and one of the boats of that divi-
sion will be used in a new service to Mack-
mas Island and St. Ignace. She will be run
as an express boat, making oniy one stop
between Detroit and her destination. She
will touch at Alpena, but will pass all the
other towns along the shore which the reg-
ular boats now make. This will cut down
the time of the run from thirty to twenty
hours.
Wallace Plurzon, a watchman on the steamer
J. P. Morgan, recently fell from the top of
a spar to the deck, breaking his right leg in
two places. He was taken to the Marine
Hospital at Detroit.
The Toledo Shipbuilding Co. has closed
contracts for two more freighters, making
four orders for steamers that the Company
has booked to come out this fall and next
spring. The last orders were placed by L.
C. Smith and H. S. Wilkinson, who operate
a large fleet of modern steel steamers.
The exact size of the ships that were or-
dered has not been decided upon, but their
carrying capacity will be between 8,000 and
9,000 tons, and they will cost about $350,000
each. It could not be learned whether
Messrs. Smith and Wilkinson intend put-
ting these boats in the companies they now
operate or will organize a new company to
handle the boats.
Messrs. Smith and Wilkinson are at the
head of the United States Transportation
Company ,and the Lyman C. Smith Transit
Company, and they are the principal stock-
holders in the Toledo Shipbuilding Com-
pany. They will have eighteen steel steam-
ers next season.
One of the steamers that the Toledo Ship-
building Company is building was purchased
by G. A. Sanderson of Duluth recently. She
will come out late this season, but the three
other steamers will not be delivered until
the spring of 1907.
The total freight tonnage through the Soo
Canal for .the month of June was 7,025,235,
which makes a month's record breaker. The
volume of traffic exceeds by nearly a million
tons that of August of last year, which was
the heaviest month of that season. The total
for the present season is now 14,877,780 tons,
a gain over the same period of 1905 of more
than 1,500,000 tons. The total east bound
tonnage for the month of June was 5,725,508;
west bound tonnage, 1,299,727. Classified
traffic for June stands: Grain over 10,000,000
bushels ; iron ore 5,190,299 tons, soft coal 999,-
951, hard coal 90,129 tons; flour, 600,000 bar-
rels, lumber 126,526,000 feet, board measure.
General merchandise west bound totaled 144,-
916 tons; east bound 25,108 tons. During the
month only 854,217 tons of freight went
through the Canadian canal. There were 3,245
vessel passages during the month.
The thirtieth anniversary of the burning
of the steam St. Clair, which occurred re-
cently, and stories printed about the single
living survivor of the accident have called
to mind the fact that Supervising Inspector
of Steam Vessels C. H. Wrestcott of Detroit
was master of the boat for two years imme-
diately preceding the catastrophe. He was
not on her at the time, however. A peculiar
coincidence in connection with the matter is
that John H. Galwey, now Local Inspector
of Boilers of Detroit, under Captain West-
cott, was engineer on the boat at the time
Captain Westcott was her master. He sailed
in her during the season of 1874.
President Roosevelt has signed the Lake
Erie and Ohio River Ship Canal bill, thus
giving a charter to the corporation for the
construction of the canal from Pittsburg to
Lake Erie ports. It is estimated that the
canal will cost $46,000,000.
TROUBLE WITH POE LOCK.
Masonry washing out of the side walls of
the I'oe lock at the Soo is causing trouble
in operating it. The intermediate or safety
gates are blocked by about five yards which
has been deposited on the lower sill of the
gates by the current, stopping the opera-
tion of the gates. A diver who went down
located the source of trouble.
A special dispatch from the Soo quotes
Assistant Superintendent McKcnzie as stat-
ing that it would take a half day or more to
clean away the refuse, and that nothing will
be done while traffic is heavy. The inter-
mediate gates are operated as a safeguard
against down-bound boats breaking away
and crashing against the lower gates of the
lock. Masters are being warned to use all
possible care, that a serious blockade may
be avoided.
A gradual crumbling of the inner surface
of the concrete walls of the lock is going
on, and the mortar on the sill of the safety
gates comes from this source. The lock is
800 feet long, and the portion which is
crumbling is now 8 inches thick, extending
from the top to the bottom of the lock. The
walls of the W'itzel lock are also affected
by the action of the frost on the limestone.
The walls of the new lock which the Lake
Carriers' Association is asking for will un-
doubtedly be composed entirely of concrete.
AT WORK ON LAFAYETTE.
Wrecking operations on the steamer La-
fayette, which went ashore during the gale
on Lake Superior last fall, have begun in
earnest. The work is being done by the Pitts-
burg Steamship Company with their own
wrecking apparatus, instead of letting the
contract to some wrecking firm. The en-
tire operations are in charge of Captain W.
W. Smith, marine superintendent of the
Steel Trust fleet. It was Captain Smith who
released the steamer Crescent City from the
rocks at Lakewood and brought her to Lor-
ain, a distance of nearly a thousand miles,
in practically a sinking condition. The La-
fayette is in the worst shape of all of the
boats sunk in the gale last fall. She is brok-
en in three pieces, and two sections are
badly battered. The after section is in com-
paratively good shape. The midship and
fore sections are driven up high and dry,
and are in such shape as to be practically
useless. The wrecking outfit was placed
aboard the wreck by the steamer Wolvin
and work begun at once. According to the
present plans the machinery will be removed,
after which the break will be bulkheaded up
and the stern pumped out and towed to
Duluth. The other two sections probably
will be broken up and sold for scrap. It is
intimated that the engines from the La-
fayette will be placed in the barge Manila
the coming winter.
The body of Captain William Radford, of
the steamer Tasmania, which went down
off Middle Island last fall, was found float-
ing in the Lake between Cedar Point and
Kelleys Island. It was identified by papers
found in the clothing.

MARINE NOTES.
Guy C. Kemp has been appointed as agent
of the Erie and Western Transportation Com-
pany at Sault Ste. Marie, in place of the late
S. H. Davis.
The steamer Bulgaria, stranded on Fisher-
mans' Shoal, is now guarded by a watch-
man, placed there by the underwriters, who
feared invasion from wreckers.
The schooner Dayton, owned by M. P.
Lester of Marine City, was sold at marshal
sale at Buffalo, N. Y., on July 6 to James
O'Connor of Tonawanda for $1,050.
The new fog-horn which has recently been
installed at Waukegan, was put in operation
on July 2. It will have a two-second blast
at intervals of eighteen seconds.
Custom Collector Rieg's report for the
month of June shows the ore receipts at Con-
neaut to have been 732,205 tons, an increase
of 197,663 tons over the May receipts. The
receipts show a considerable increase over
June of last year. The total value of the ex-
ports was $242,492.
All records for ore cargoes were broken
at Conneaut on July 3 by the entrance of
the steamer J. Pierpont Morgan with a cargo
of 11,159 tons, the largest ever brought down
Lake Erie. The best previous record for that
port was held by the steamer George Perkins,
which brought in 10,519 tons last season. No
unloading record was attempted on the Mor-
gan, which entered the harbor without any
difficulty.
A contract has been closed between the
American Shipbuilding Company and the Buf-
falo & Susquehanna Steamship Company for
the purchase of a 10,000-ton ore carrier for
1907 delivery. The new boat will be 552 feet
over all, 532 feet keel, 56 feet beam and 31
feet deep. She will have a triple expansion
engine with cylinders 23 J4, 36, 63 inches in
diameter with a 42 inch stroke. Steam will
be furnished by two Scotch boilers, 14 feet
6 inches in diameter and 1 1 feet 6 inches long.
The boilers will have a work-pressure of 180
pounds and will be fitted with Ellis & Evans
induced draft. The new boat will be built
at the Lorain yard of the American Ship-
building Company and will be completed in
April. This order makes the twelfth which
the American Shipbuilding Company has on
its books for 1907 delivery.
The grand president of the Tug Fireman
and Linemen's Protective Association, John
Bourke, will try to go to the Michigan Legis-
lature and take a hand in electing the United
States Senator in the interests of union labor.
His candidacy for the Republican nomination
was announced recently. Bourke says he will
support a man for Senator who will uphold
what he thinks are the rights of the masses.
He has the labor vote with him and friends
believe he will beat the machine at the prima-
ries.
Several of the crew of the schooner Mike
Corry had a narrow escape recently, when the
bridge tender at Clark street, Chicago, swung
the structure shut before the boat was through
the draw. The end of the bridge caught the
mizzenmast of the boat, breaking it off short
and as the big timber fell there was a lively
scramble on the part of three of the crew near
the stern to get away. The spar struck within
a few feet of the wheelsman, but by throw-
ing himself prone on the deck he escaped
injury.
According to a reliable authority the mines
of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company,
on the Mesaba will ship close to 1,000,000
tons this year contrasted with a little less
than 500,000 last season. Although the Bi-
wabik has had predicted for it a shipment
this year of greater tonnage than last year,
when it produced 1,092,987 tons, it has been
stated on good authority that the output will
not be more than 800,000 tons this season.
The Sellwood properties also will not, it is
thought, ship more this season than they did
a year ago.

CORRESPONDENCE IN THE CASE.
(Continued from page 2.)
The above section is a part of Title LII of the
Revised Statutes of the United States, and Sec-
I496 and 4107, reading as follows, are part
of the same title:
"Section 4496. All collectors, or other chief of-
ficers of the customs, and inspectors within their
several districts, shall enforce the provisions of
this title against all steamers arriving 01
parting.
"Section 4497. Every collector, or other chief
officer of the customs, or inspector, who negli-
gently or intentionally omits any duty under the
preceding sections, shall he liable to removal
and to a penalty of one hundred dol-
lars for each offense, ti< be sued for in an action
of debt."
It fully appearing that the said vessel is not
properly manned, and that she will not be proper-
ly manned, unless action is taken by you. we re-
ully ask that clearance be refused to the
.Siberia until she complies with the law above
mentii
Respectfully,
SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
By A. Furuseth, Secretary.
SAILORS' UNTON OF THE PACIFIC.
San Francisco, Cal.. July 9, 1906.
Hon. F. R. Stratton, Collector of the Port of San
Francisco, City.
Sir: On the 3d instant we addressed a com-
munication to you as Collector of the Port of
San Francisco, and we are advised that you re-
ferred the same to the Honorable Robert T.
Devlin, United State- Attorney for tbis district,
wh". in turn, advised you of your duties in the
matter, part of the opinion of Mr. Devlin's office
being in effect that, under the decision cited,
it was necessary for the crew of a vessel to be
sufficiently familiar with the English langttacr"
to understand any command that might be given
to them at any time.
After receipt of the opinion we are further
advised that the U. S. Local Inspectors of Steam
Vessels visited the Siberia on the 6th instant
and there held a lire drill and boat drill sat
tory to you and the vessel was cleared by the
Custom House and proceeded to sea on the 7th
instant.
Your attention is respectfully directed to the
fact that all a fire drill accomplishes is to ac-
quaint the members of the crew with their sta-
tions and how to get out the fire hose. Ths
fighting of the fire needs orders to suit the enter-
y of the occasion.
We have no doubt that the crew of the City of
Rio de Janeiro would have gone through equally
satisfactory boat and fire drill, but they wen
found insufficient by the court after a thorough
inquiry. Fire or boat drill, or both, can be no
tesl of the ability of the crew to understand
the English language for the reason that on all
steamers carrying Chinese crew each department
has at least one Chinaman who i- sufficiently fa-
miliar with the English language to interpret or-
ders, to wit: In the engineer's department there
is one Chinaman called Number 1 fireman, an-
other called Number 2, and still another called
Number 3, one of each being on watch in the
fire-room during the three watches. ( )rders are
communicated to the ''Number Men," as they are
called, and by them to the help in Chinese.
As each crew, or man. joins the vessel, they,
or he, are advised by the said Number Men to
go to a certain boat, when a certain number of
whistles are blown, and to go to certain stations
when a certain other number of whistles are
blown. The crew does understand the whistle
signals, and, as familiar instructions are given in
each department, each Chinese is familiar with
his duties when he hears a certain whistle signal
sound on his ship. The blowing of such whistle
signals when a vessel is alongside the dock.
tin- Siberia was lying at the time of the examina-
tion, is not a test or indication wdiat might hap-
pen if the whistle or method of signalling were
out of order, or refused to work, or what
the crew might do in case of a collision, or strand-
ing, or explosion, or what the crew might d 1
when in the boats in the absence of the Chinese
interpreter, to wit: the Chinese who had been in
the habit of communicating the orders to them.
There is not on board the Siberia a sufficient
number of such interpreters to place one in each
boat, or to stand at each boat to give orders dur-
ing the lowering, or the placing therein of pas-
0r water: or to communicate or-
ders in respect to what would be necessary to put
out a fire. The necessity of understanding the
English language is tints apparent, and also that
wisdom of the courts in deciding that the crew-
is insufficient unless they understand sufficient
English to understand and execute orders that
may be given them at any time.
You will thus observe that the mere know!
of how to perform one or two duties by informa-
tion previously given them, does not make the
crew sufficient within the meaning of the law. and.
as another steamer, to wit. the Mongolia. 1-
in port, destined on the same voyage with a
similar crew, we suggest that a test be made on
her by taking a number of the crew and calling
them to some portion of the vessel and that fin ;y
then — in the absence of the Chinese who act as
ireters for them — be told in English to ex-
ecute some orders. Only such a test can be suf-
ficient within the law of the United States upon
the subject.
Respectfully yours,
SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.

SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
San Francisco, Cal., July 8, 1906.
Hon. O. F. Bolles, Local Inspector of Steam
Is. City.
Sir: On the 3rd instant we addressed a com-
munication to the Honorable R. F. Stratton, Col-
lector of the Port of San Francisco, and we are
advised that he referred the same to Hon. Rob-
ert T. Devlin. U. S. Attorney for this district,
who in turn advised him of his duties in the mat-
ter, part of the opinion of Mr, Devlin's office
being in effect that, under the decision cited, it
was necessary for the crew of a passenger vessel
to be sufficiently familiar with the English lan-
guage to understand any command that might
be given to them at any time.
r receipt of the opinion, we are further ad-
vised, that, on the 6th instant, you, in company
with your brother Inspector, visited the Siberia
and there held a fire and boat drill SatisfactO
you, and the vessel w is cleared by the Custom
House and proceeded to sea on the 7th instant.
Your attention is respectfully called to the fact
thai all a fire drill accomplishes is to acquaint
nibers of the crew with their stations and
how to get out the fire hose. The fighting of
the fire needs orders to suit the emergency of the
on. We have no doubt that the crew of
the City of Rio de Janeiro would have gone
li equally satisfactory boat or fire drill,
but they were found insufficient by the court af-
ter •' thorough inquiry.
Fire or boat drill, or both, can be no test of
the ability of a crew to understand the English
tage for the reason that on all steamers
carrying Chinese crews each department has at
ne Chinaman who is sufficiently familiar
with English to interpret orders, to wit: in the
engineer's department there is one Chinaman
called the Number T fireman, another called Num-
ber 2. and still another called Number 3, one
of each being on watch in the fire-room during
each of the three watches. Orders are com-
municated to the Number man. as he is called,
and by him in Chinese to the help.
As each crew, or man. joins the vessel, they, or
he. are advised by the said "number men" to go
to a certain boat when a certain number of whis-
e blown, and to certain other stations when
a certain other number of whistles are blown. The
crew does understand the whistle signals, and. as
familiar instructions arc given in each depart-
ment, each Chinaman is familiar with his duties,
when he hears a certain whistle signal sound on
his ship. The blowing of such whistle signals
when a vessel is alongside of a dock, wdicre the
Siberia was lying at the time of your examina-
tion, is no test or indication of what might hap-
pen if the whistle or method of signalling were
out of order and refused to work, or what the
crew might do in case of a collision or stranding
or explosion, or what the crew might do wdien in
the boats in the absence of the Chinese interpre-
ter, to wit: the Chinese who had been in the habit
of communicating the orders to them.
There is not on board the Siberia a sufficient
number of such interpreters to place one in each
or to stand at each boat to give orders dur-
ing the lowering or the placing therein of passen-
gers, food and water after they have been low-
ered in the water, Or to communicate the orders
in respect to what would be necessary to put out
a fire.
The necessity of understanding the English lan-
guage is thus apparent, and the wisdom of the
court in deciding that a crew is insufficient un-
less they understand the English language suffi-
cient!) to understam ecute the orders that
may be given to them at any time.
You will tint that the mere knowing
1 perform one or two duties by information
iusly given does not make the crew suffi-
cient within the meaning of the law. and as an-
other steamer, to wit, the Mongolia, is now in
foil destined on tin- same voyage that the Siberia
with a similar crew, wi that a test
be made on her by taking a number of the crew
and calling them to iortion of the vessel.
where, in the absence of the Chinese interpreters,
they be told in English to execute some orders.
Only such a te t can be sufficient within the law
of the United States on the subject.

justified in complying with your request and with-
holding clearance of the vessel.
Under date of July 6, 1906, the attorney advised
me that I would be entitled to rely upon the in-
spection certificate issued by the U. S. Local In-
spectors of Hulls and Boilers, as to the sufficiency
of the crew.
I have, therefore, to advise you that the inspec-
tion certificate and license on file in this office
complies with all the requirements of the law,
and further that the Local Inspectors of Hulls
and Boilers report that, after investigation, they
find the vessel properly manned to meet any
emergency.
I have, therefore, permitted the clearance of the
vessel.
Respectfully,
W. B. HAMILTON,
Special Deputy Collector.

view to testing the sufficiency of the crew of

ing clearance of all vessels engaged in the carry-
ing of passengers.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Fail to Secure Strike-Breakers
Notwithstanding the extraordinary efforts be-
ing made by the United Shipping and Transpor-
tation Association to secure strike-breakers to
man their vessel-, the concern is making but lit-
tle progress. The Association agents arc scour-
ing this and neighboring countries for seamen,
and succeeded in several instances in inducing
men to start for this port to take the places of
the union Sailors, Firemen and Cooks and Stew-
ards. The unions affected were well informed
of the movements of the shipowners' agents,
however, and the men intended to till the role of
strike-breakers failed to go to work. The reason
for this is not hard to discover. The men were,
as usual, engaged under false pretense — that is,
they were not informed of the conditions pre-
vailing here. When the facts were made known
to them by representatives of the union, almo 1
without exception these men refused to go to
work for the shipping combine. Over fifty men
in one party were recently engaged in Chicago
and vicinity and started here by the shipowners'
agents to act as strike-breakers. Only three of
these men completed the journey to this city, and
but one of these actually went to work for the
association. A few days ago a crew intended for
one of the transpacific liners was brought here
from Honolulu, but en route the men were in-
formed of the nature of the employment they
were expected to engage in, and when the steam-
ship reached port these men without exception
went aboard the launches of the Sailors' Union,
declining to accept positions as strike-breakers.
They were provided with employment by the
union in short order. This incident had the effect
of causing a break in the ranks of the shipping
combine. The Oceanic Steamship Company is a
member of the United Shipping and Transporta-
tion Association, and recently gave notice '■)
the unions of its intention to terminate the agree-
ment existing with them. This was accepted
as evidence of the intention of the company to
join in the union-smashing campaign, but this
week, when the Alameda sailed she took out a
union crew as usual. This action, of course, was
received with considerable satisfaction by the
union men. It affords convincing evidence of the
truth of the union's contention that the ship-
owners could not secure sufficient non-unionists
to man their vessels. It is a notorious fact that
the steam-schooners of the Association that are
leaving port are undermanned, and that the of-
ficers of these vessels are compelle.d to perform
the work ordinarily done by seamen. This state
of affairs is causing dissatisfaction among the of-
ficers that is constantly becoming more intense,
and it is improbable that these men will con-
tinue much longer to do the extra work imposed
on them.
After the recent conference of the Mayor and
the shipowners the police force detailed to the
waterfront was largely increased, thirty extra
men being detailed for duty there. The actions
of these police officers are causing considerable
adverse criticism among the union men. The
police, it is said, are acting as bodyguards for the
strike-breakers, and will not allow the union men
to approach or speak to the non unionists. The
right of peaceful persausion has been upheld by
the courts repeatedly, and were the union pickets
permitted to talk to these police guarded strike-
breakers and explain the merits of the contro-
versy a majority of the non unionists would, Tie-
yond doubt, cease work. The action of the po-
lice in this respect is unwarranted, and clo
approaches the policy pursued by the municipal
authorities in [901. The Coast Seamen's Journal
Strongly criticizes the action of the authorities
in the present difficulty, and the sentiments it e*
presses may fairly be said to represent the opin-
ion of union men on I lie 1 1 out.
Notwithstanding tl"' unlool ed foi action oi the
police, the situation al tin- present time is dc-
Cldedly favorable to the unions, and their expec-
tation of ultimate victory is as strong as ever.
Very many of the locked out men in port have
secured employment, and as the unions have well-
filled treasuries, they are in a position to main-
lain the fight for fair conditions for an indent

According to the New Zealand
Worker, the C. S. R. Co. is trying to
destroy the Sugarworkers' Union.
The Company is gradually squeez-

ety of Railway Employes recently
asked Premie Bent to restore them
the enjoyment of their full citizen's

pathetic consideration, and woul l
bring the matter before the Cabinet.

Commissioners have informed Pre-
mier Carruthers that they will mod-
ify the eyesight and hearing tests for
railway employes. This is the out-
come of the railway men's complaint
to the Premier that the tests were
unnecessarily stringent.
A bill to reduce the hours of labor
in coal mines to eight per day by
the year 1909, recently passed its sec-
ond reading in the British House of
Commons, on the understanding that
the Government will appoint a com-
mittee to inquire into the economic
effects of the proposal.
Miners at the Collie coal mines in
West Australia have decided to ask
the Government to introduce legis-
lation providing for preference of
employment in all mines to Austra-
lian and British workers. This is the
outcome of the mine-owners' action
in displacing local men with foreign
labor.
The New South Wales Master
Builders' Association denies that the
building trade is in a flourishing con-
dition in that State, and is of opin-
ion that "if ten times the quantity
of work on hand was suddenly made
available master builders would read-
ily find sufficient labor without hunt-
ing for men."
English Laborites are justly indig-
nant at the unrepresentative House
of Lords throwing out the bill intro-
duced by the Labor party in the
House of Commons to prevent the
importation of aliens under contract
during labor disputes. The Lords de-
feated the second reading of the bill
by 96 votes to 24.
Under the New Zealand Arbitra-
tion Court's award lamplighters in
the Palmerston North district are to
be paid by the local gas company not
less than 7s an eight-hour working
day, and an allowance of 2s 6d per
week to cover repairs, lighting, etc.,
for their bicycles. Also one week's
holiday on full pay during the year.
At a recent meeting in Birming-
ham, Eng., the Metal Trades Feder-
ation of Great Britain was formed.
This federation will bring under one
head the unions of men in all parts
of the kingdom who work at the met-
al trades, from iron-plate work to
silversmithing. The affiliation will
have a membership of about 300,000
The Menzies and Woolgar branch
of the West Australian Miners' Union
has passed the following resolution
for consideration at the coming an-
It now seems impossible for a
New South vValcs trade-union to
bring any boss or firm before the
Arbitration Court, owing to the
Judges' interpretation of the Arbitra-
tion Act. The United Tobacco Op-
eratives' Union is the latest victim
to this Judge-made law, as tobacco
manufacturers W. D. and H. O. Wills
have secured a prohibition restrain-
ing them from proceeding with an in-
dustrial dispute case. ,
Secretary Gardagh, of the West
Australian Goldfields Trades and
Labor Council, gives a deplorable ac-
count of industrial conditions there.
The number of unemployed, he says,
is very great, and never in the his-
tory of the goldfields was the de-
pression so bad as at the present
time. Hundreds of able-bodied men
are seen daily sitting at the mines at
the changes of shifts, waiting days
for the chance of employment.
Dr. Napthine, credited with being
the best authority in the Australian
Commonwealth on "miners' com-
plaint" (consumption), recently
stated that that terrible disease was
responsible for more deaths annually
amongst the toilers of Victoria than
all the fatal accidents of Australia
and New Zealand mines combined.
He also pointed out that the disease
is preventible, and blamed the au-
thorities for not giving some atten-
tion to the better ventilation and
sanitation of mines.
In order to obtain financial assist-
ance for the Laundry Employes'
Union to bring its claim for better
wages and conditions before the Ar-
bitration Court, the Sydney (New
South Wales) Labor Council has is-
sued the following appeal to organ-
ized labor in that State: The posi-
tion of women workers in Sydney,
as revealed before the Council's anti-
sweating commit tee, is such as to
evoke the warmest compassion for
those compelled to work amid re-
pulsive surroundings, and at a remu-
neration that only in derision can be
called wages. I luring the last two
years valiant attempts have been
made by the union to bring about a
long-hoped-for change, and success
ensued but for a brief period, be-
cause injunctions and other processes
of law, involving the union in CO
were resorted to by the employers,
lefeat of the union followed. It
has not yet surrendered, for one al-
ternative remains.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Mure than $2,000,000 worth of
building contracts in skyscrapers and
on streets are tied up by the cement
workers' strike at New York.
Pressmen employed on the New
Turk Tribune went on strike recently
owing to the employment of non-
unionists in the pressrooms of that
paper.
The annual convention of the Inter-
national Alliance of Theatrical Stage
Employes, at Boston, Mass., elected
John Suarez. of St. Louis, president.
S. I! Metcalf of Spokane, Wash., is
among the vice-presidents chosen.
It is estimated that, "excepting New
York, Boston, Chicago and Philadel-
phia, the average yearly salaries of
women teachers in the elementary
schools is only $556. In some of the
cities the average salary is less than
$5O0.
In choosing motormen for what is
believed to be the first municipally-
owned and built street railway in the
West, the street railway of Monroe,
la., Mayor A. A. Forsythe announces
that the first test for fitness for this
position will be a total abstinence
from all intoxicating liquors
Tile _»:.}o o'clock delivery of mail
was omitted in Boston, Mass., recent-
ly, out of respect for the late Philip
Marchington, the oldest letter-carrier
in the country, who died in that city.
This is said to be the first time such
an honor has been paid to a letter-
carrier by order of the Postmaster
ral.
The firemen of the Thirty-ninth-
street (N. Y.I ferry went on strike on
July 9. Only one of the three boats
of the line was running on that date
and the South Brooklyn people who
patronize the line were greatly incon-
venienced. The firemen say the com-
pany reduced their wages from $14.96
a week to $13.81. The men protested
and asked for a change in the scale.
Officials of the Amalgamated Asso-
ciation of Iron, Steel, and Tin Work-
ers of America, have announced that
practically all the tin and sheet plate
companies of the country have signed
the wage scale for the ensuing year.
This, it is said, insures work being
started at once in all of the independ-
ent plants and steady employment for
the year owing to the large number
of orders already booked.
An advance of 5 per cent in wages
in cotton mills in thirty or more
cities, towns and villages of Southern
Massachusetts and Rhode Island went
into effect on July 9. About 45,000
operatives are benefited. Since the
inception of the movement to increase
mill wages, early in the year, 165,000
textile operatives in New England
States have had their pay advanced 5
to 14 per cent. Of the total number
110,000 work in the cotton mills and
alii nit 55,000 in the woolen and
worsted plants.
Kansas needs at least 25,000 more
men than are now in sight for the
harvest fields. It is said that the
shortage is due to the railroads, who
need all the men they can get and
refuse to grant the one-cent a mile
rate usually made for harvest hands.
All sorts of inducements are held out
to laborers to go to the wheat fields.
Along the Santa Fe road yesterday
farmers drove into town and picked
up the straggling laborers. At Hal-
stead one farmer made a deal with
five men, who left the train and were
conveyed to his home in an automo-
bile. His promise of a fine fried
chicken Sunday dinner was an addi-
tional incentive.

A cable dispatch to the New York
Herald from Rome says: Italy has
proposed a vital reduction in the light-
ing Strength of herself and her sister
powers, Great Britain and France,
and these nations have, it is said, en-
tertained the project favorably.
The Midvale Steel Company has
been awarded the contract for fur-
nishing armor for the United States
battleships Michigan and South Caro-
lina. Their bid was $2,555,470, or
$178,090 under their nearest competi-
tors, the Carnegie Steel Company.
The Bureau of Navigation reports
that tos sail and steam vessels, of
33.141 gross tons, were built in the
United States during June, 1006. The
largest steam vessel included in these
figures is the Charles Weston, of 6906
gross tons, built at West Bay City,
Mich., for the Tonawanda Transit Co.
A coroner's jury at Liverpool, Eng.,
on July 14, found that the explosion
June 14 on board the British steamer
Haverford of the Red Star line, from
Philadelphia, resulting in the loss of
about a dozen lives, was caused by
inflammable vapors from the naphtha
soap which formed a part of her car-
go, but that there was no evidence to
show how it was ignited.
The. North German Lloyd line has
reduced the steerage rate by $2.50.
The reduction in emigrant passage
rates announced by the North German
Lloyd line is that company's answer
to the Hamburg-American line's cut
of the same amount last week, which
is its second recent reduction. The
situation begins to look extremely
like a rate war between these lines in
the emigrant business.
The International Mercantile Com-
pany is preparing to build six trans-
atlantic liners to add to its fleet, ac-
cording to an announcement by J. B.
Bruce Ismay, president of the com-
pany, who arrived at New York on
July 11 from England. He said that
the new vessels would be completed
in three years. The steamers will
probably be constructed at Belfast,
and some of them are expected to
have a speed of twenty-five knots an
hour.
The crew of the abandoned Phila-
delphia schooner Edith L. Allen were
rescued by the schooner Jacob S.
Winslow and landed at New York on
June 28. The Allen left Baltimore on
June 1 for Mayport, l'la . with a cargo
of railroad iron. Siie encountered a
southeast cyclone, and although
spoken on June 18, in latitude 26.10,
longitude 79.38, with seven feet of
water in hold, the nine men aboard
declined to leave the vessel. On June
26 the water had gained such head-
way that the schooner was aban-
doned. A few hours later the men
were picked up by the crew of the
Winslow.
Tn honor of the half century anni-
iy of the establishment of the
first line of Steamers dying a German
flag, tii, Hamburg American Line
has issued an attractive pamphlet
titled "Sixty Years of < iccaii Navi-
gation." The publication deals with
the achievements of the company
from the time of its inception, and
contains illustrations showing the

Johnny, "that new spellin' ain't new
to me."
"You must be a smart boy."
"Oh, 1 don't know. I'm at the
foot of the spellin' class."
What, Indeed?— "Miss Mugley says
she paid $18 a dozen for those photos
of herself."
"But they don't look a bit like her?"
"Of course not. What do you sup-
pose she paid $18 for?"
Gave Him Pause.— "Surely you have
confidence enough in me to lend me
your umbrella."
'The most implicit confidence, in
your integrity, but not in your judg-

there are invariably two factions

are always borrowing and those who
never lend.
Not Equipped. — Somebody delicate-
ly called the attention of the Tsar to

"Most unfortunate," said his Maj-
esty; "looks like it was going to be

lick on the fiddle."
So deeply did he brood over his lack
of equipment that he finished his ten-
nis game with but indifferent zest.
Hateful Person.— Mrs. Gaddie— Oh!
we had to drive Miss Crabbe out of
our club; she was a disturbing ele-
ment.
Mrs. Jenks— Indeed? What was
the matter?
Mrs. Gaddie— Why, we were dis-
cussing the servant-girl question one
day, and she said if we'd only stay
at home and attend to our business
there wouldn't be any servant-girl
question.

OLD STORY, NEW MORAL.
ONCE UPON A TIME there lived a king
whose name was Sisyphus (Sissy-fuss). In
the course of human events the king died
and went to — they called it Tartarus (tar-ta-rus)
in those days.
Arrived at the scene of his reward, the king
was put to work. The king was given a big
stone and a steep hill. The king's job consisted
in rolling the stone to the top of the hill.
The king went to work. He rolled and rolled.
Up, up, up went the stone until the top of the
hill was readied — or almost reached. Then
something happened. The stone rolled back, wal-
lop, kerplunk, to the foot of the hill.
The king, mindful of the motto, "If at first
you don't succeed," etc., tackled the job again.
Upee she goes! Another grunt and another
shove, and the king will be able to call it a day.
Alas, down comes the stone again! It is get-
ting near quitting time, so the king goes to it
with renewed vigor. That stone simply must
be rolled to the top of that hill! "Yo-ho-hi,
ho-yo-he —
Do, my Johnny Poker, come rock and roll me
over;
Do, my Johnny Poker, DO!"
What's that we hear? "Stand from under!"
Just as the king stops to spit on his hands for
the last heave — crash, splash, flop! Again the
stone lies at the bottom of the hill, and the poor
old king is no further forrarder than when he
turned to in the morning.
The whistle blows, the fires arc banked, and
everybody quits — everybody but the king. The
king's job is steady, twenty-four hours a day
and no overtime. At last accounts the king was
still at it, always on the very point of getting
there — yet always at the point of beginning all
over again.
So goes the story, familiar to every schoolboy.
Thus we derive the term "sisyphean" (sissy-fee-
ant, expressive of the idea of unending labor,
of the task which, however apparently success-
ful, is doomed to ultimate failure, of the under-
taking that is physically impossible of accom-
plishment.
The story is retold (with the necessary ex-
planations) for the especial benefit of those
shipowners who have undertaken the task of de-
stroying the seamen's unions on the Pacific
Coast. Apparently these gentlemen have never
heard of their distinguished prototype nor of his
numerous successors in other lines oi fruitless
endeavor. The main trouble with these gentle-
men is that they know little and care less about
schoolbook philosophy; they think that, being
shipowners, they are superior to all the laws of
nature, moral and material. And so, under the
inspiration of one R. Pluto Schwerin, they have
created a little hell of their own and doomed
themselves to a task compared to which the
stone-rolling job of the ancient king is the merest
pastime.
The modern Sisyphus need not go to the
classics for a look at himself; his antics are clear-
ly portrayed in the history of the recent past.
Twenty years ago, when organization among the
seamen on the Pacific Coast was quite young,
the shipowner essayed the task of "busting the
union." The old Coast Seamen's Union was a
very little stone in those days. Blithely the ship-
owner proceeded to roll the stone up, and over,
the hill. In imagination the shipowner heard
the bumpity-bump-bump of the stone, as it rolled
down the hill — on the other side, of course. In
reality the stone rolled back on the same side.
Many a time the shipowner has repeated that ex-
ploit; many a time, just as he has congratulated
himself that the job was really finished for good
and all, he has been confronted by the presence
of the union, bigger and stronger than before.
Contrary to the rule in such matters, this par-
ticular stone has gathered a good, deal of moss
in the course of rolling up the hill and down
again. With each bump the stone has imbedded
itself more deeply in the soil, until to-day it is,
so to speak, an integral feature of the landscape.
Nevertheless, the shipowner is not discouraged;
he goes joyfully to the bat; he will roll the stone
to the top of the hill, or know the reason why!
Probably the shipowner, when he realizes that
the stone can't be rolled to the top of the hill,
will undertake to roll the hill to the top of the
stone.
In this respect the shipowner resembles an-
other ancestor ( not classical this lime, but an-
thropoidal), who, after lopping the twigs from a
tree, stacked them around the trunk, and then
tried to carry them away, trunk and all. The
shipowner can see the twigs, all right, but he
can't sec the trunk. In other words, the ship-
owner may break or bend the branches, but lie
can not Uproot the tree.
In simple justice, the United Shipping
Transportation Association is entitled to credit
for a frank, albeit somewhat belated, confession
of its purpose. At first the Association pretended
that its object was merely to resist the seamen's
demand for an increase of wages; now it ad-
mits that it is fighting for the destruction oi tho
unions. The Association is to he commended
upon the ground of its frankness; but as to its in-
telligence— well, that's another story. In the hrsl
place, the seamen's unions can not he destroyed.
In the second place, if the unions could be, and
in fact were, destroyed, the Association itself
would suffer as much as, if not more than, the
,,., n. In short, the Association's "union bu 1
ing" campaign is an example of "biting off I In-
nose to spiic the face."
The permanency of the seamen s unions, as oi
all other labor organizations, is assured b) theil
necessity as a means of counteracting thi
Ol competition, first among their own members,
and, secondly, among their employers. So long
as men are disposed, or compelled! to seek their
individual ends rather than the common good,
whether it be as employes seeking work or as
employers seeking profits, the trade-union will
be a necessity, and therefore it will endure. The
seamen's unions were organized as a means of
protecting the men of that craft from the impo
sitions to which they were subjected either by
indifference or greed on the part of their em-
ployers, the shipowners. Nothing that has trans-
pired in the history of organization among the
seamen on the Pacific Coast has lessened the ne-
cessity for that form of protection. The condi-
tions of the seamen have been improved, but
not by the free will of the shipowners. On the
contrary, every point gained by the seamen has
been won by force. The shipowners have never
conceded anything; instead, they have opposed
everything, and even justified their opposition
upon the plea of principle (?). In other words,
the shipowners have plainly intimated that if the
seamen wish any improvement in their condi-
tions, they must fight for it. So long as this at-
titude is maintained the .seamen's unions are
bound to live by virtue of the law that brought
them into being.
Suppose it were possible to destroy the sea
men's unions, what then? Wages would be re-
duced, of course, and the shipowner would be
free to "run his own business" — for a time, lint
even while the shipowner was sniffing the atmos
phere of this ideal condition, he would expe
rience troubles of another kind. Relieved of the
pressure that now holds together their own or-
ganization, thi' shipowners would begin to com
pete with each other, instead of acting unitedly
against the seamen's organization. Another cut,
and ..till another cut. in wages would follow, un-
til the "limit of subsistence" was reached until
the shipowner could neither run lus vessels on
lower freights nor secure seamen for lower
wages.
At this point the shipowner would be no bet
ter off, from a financial standpoint, than he now
is, accepting his own statement that he is paying
in wages, all. or nearly all, that the present
freights will bear. From another standpoint the
shipowner would be decidedly worse oil'. In the
absence of organization among the seamen ths
shipowner would be confronted with all sorts oi
labor troubles, conducted, or misconducted, with-
out any regard to cause or effect, right or wrong.
Of course, the shipowner does not contemplate
anything of this kind. The shipowner does not
contemplate at all lie is told by the United Ship-
ping .and Transportation .Association that if he
will but "stand pat" he can destroy the
men's unions and at the same time retain lor
himself all the advantages thai organization
among employes gives to the employers in evi
business. The Association tells the shipowner
thai he can eal his cake and have it. tool
Funny, isn't it? Hut funniest thing of all is
the spectacle of the shipowners gallantly tackling
the stone, (i. e., the unions) with as much sub-
lime faith as they displayed when they went to
work on the same job more than twenty y<
ago. In one respect the shipowner closely rc-
bli the proverbial Bourbon, in another he
di iesn't. Tin tii] er learns, but In-
very quickly forgets After all, the shipowner
may congratulate him in I roll I
to lb,- top of the lull. If the shipov
COuld by any chance succeed in that qui
terprise, he would shortly In toned to admit
that he had made the biggest mistake of his life.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Who Are the Anarchists?
Who is the anarchist? We have read and
heard so much of anarchists ever since the con-
troversy between the sailors and the shipowners'
association began. The sailors have been called
anarchists and Other dirty names for taking
advantage of a stricken city and a destitute in-
habitance.
1 do not want tO defend the .sailors. All I wish
to do i.s to draw a comparison between the Sail-
ors' Union and some employers of lahor which
our little daily has not attacked nor expi
Why? 1 do not know. I leave it to the readers
to judge. I am trying to give some facts. I call
them facts because I believe that they are such.
They are taken from the San Francisco Exam-
iner editorial of June 27th, showing that the sail-
ors are not the only ones who have raised their
wages, hut others have raised also.
The Examiner says that in the lumber trade the
I creeps and sneaks, raising the prices to
his fellows in the hour of need and pain. Pine
and lir lumber, controlled by the lumber trust,
been raised from SO to 100 per cent just
when San Francisco must have lumber. That it
costs From So to [20 per cent more to buy glass
than it did before the conflagration. Plumbing
supplies have been increased from 10 to 20 per
cent. The prices of plastering have been in-
creased from 30 to 40 per cent a square yard, and
in order to throw the burden of their infamy onto
workingmen, they have raised the wages of their
workmen to $7 a day. Cement has increased 50
per barrel of 400 pounds. Wall paper has
raised in price per roll. Patent terra cotta and
tin chimneys were raised before the conflagra-
tion from 50 to (>o cents per foot, and after the
conflagration it cost $1.50 per foot.
Tin- Examiner finished off in these words,
(meaning the trust and combination who have
raised their price for whatever they have for
sale): "They are making a greater need for mar-
tial law than was felt on the day of the earth-
quake. San Francisco should have some power
to take these gougers by their slippery necks and
cast them into the midst of the sea. They are
the greatest enemies of the city and its citi-
zens."
1 believe the shipowners' association should
have been included in this list, as I understand
they also have raised their freight rates. Now I
ask you. who is the anarchist? Is it the men who
concluded to raise their wages before the dis-
aster but in the hour of distress to the city of
San Francisco resolved not to raise but seeing
their employers raising the freight, find them-
selves justified in raising their wages?
( )r is it the men who use all possible means at
their command by swearing in special police and
importing nun by false representation, actually
shanghaieing men onto their vessels?
[s it the men who want to improve their condi-
tion by raising $5 per month to have a little more
of the necessities of life, or is it the men who
have all the necessity and luxury of life but raise
to satisfy their everlasting greed? Is it the men
who are willing to arbitrate; or is it the men who
do not want to arbitrate? The sailors are will-
ing to arbitrate; the shipowners are not.
We also read a good deal of these alleged hu-
man beings flocking into America from the slums
of Europe. This is an old cry coming always from
nn source. If the wages are low we are told
that it is because the American workingmen have
to compete with the inferior emigrants coming
from the shuns of Europe; and if the same Euro-
peans try to better their condition striking for
better wages the same howl goes up. The Euro-
pean Rets it both ways. I think this old
is getting rather too old.
Then 1 never heard of an employer or sel of
employers who pay more to American born than
to foreign bom, citizen or no citizen. They even
try to yet the Chinese exclusion act repealed so
that they can import the lowest priced labor in
the world. They even go so far as grinding out
the lives of 1,752,187 children under 16 years of
age for profit (see census of 1900.) I wonder if
the American soil is better adapted to raise chil-
dren than the European. I never saw an author-
ity which proved that a child born in America is
mentally superior to the one in Europe. I admit
that I have not seen and read all authorities on
such matters, as 1 have not the time and the
means to read and procure all. If the Bulletin
has such to refer them to its readers, so that it
is possible for me to get them, I will. If not
born superior then the American must have a
better education.
I have a little booklet, (Bersford & Derringer's
Pocket Hook of Statistics and Parliamentary
Rules of Order) giving some valuable figures by
Dr. Mayo Smith, on illiteracy in various coun-
tries. 1 only take these from where the most of
the sailors and longshoremen come from and the
U. S. Illiterates in Sweden and Denmark, .04 per
cut; Germany, t.6; V. S., 13.3; Norway and Pin-
land 1 have not got. I have another little leaflet
which gives the following under the head of
education: That there are 8,246,857 of our citi-
zens above the aye of 10 years who can neither
read nor write. We have 22 million of school
children; 6 million of them never enter school. I
do not claim that the education in Europe is bet-
ter than America, neither that the European
working men are superior to the American. I
admit that better paid American workmen pro-
duce wealth cheaper than the European; if not,
the American capitalist could not undersell their
Pun ipean competiti >rs.
I ask the American workingmen not to take
my figures, neither the Bulletin's slander, but to
investigate for themselves. I believe that the in-
tention of the Bulletin and other such papers are
endeavoring to array workingmen against work-
ingmen through nationality and color to foster
the interest of capital.
Capital knows no boundaries nor nationalities.
Capitalist interest in America is the same as cap-
italist interest in Europe. It showed conclusively
when the trouble in San Francisco began for the
German Steamboat Company locked out union
men as promptly as the American Steamship As
sociation. A. Jonas, in Grays Harbor (Wash 1

Iroquois Heard From.
The following resolutions were adopted by th.-
Iroquois Club of San Francisco:
Iroquois Club, Franklin Hall, June 20, 1906.
Whereas, There now exists in San Francisco
a serious industrial dispute between the seamen
and shipowners, as a result of which several lives
have been lost and much inconvenience caused to
the public; and,
\\ hereas, The original cause of the dispute con-
sists in a request on the part of the seamen for a
small increase in wages; and,
Whereas, It appears from documentary evi
deuce, as well as from the public admissions of
certain parties to the controversy, that the refusal
of the shipowners to concede the requests of
their former employes is dictated mainly by th"
terms of a compact existing between the ship-
owners and certain organizations, to-wit, the
United Shipping and Transportation Association
and the Citizens' Alliance, the essence of which
terms implies, and in fact avows, warfare upon
the trade unions involved in the dispute, and
Whereas, A proposal to arbitrate the dispute
has been promptly and unreservedly accepted by
the unions concerned, but has so far not been
accepted by the shipowners; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Iroquois Club, in regular ses
sion assembled, this 29th day of June, 1906, that
we deplore the existence of the dispute in ques-
tion as being detrimental to the interests of th •
public, the more so by reason of the condition;
now prevailing in San Francisco, and entirely un-
warranted by the nature of the requests made by
the unions; further
Resolved, That we extend our sympathy to th •
unions upon the loss of their associate, Andrew
Keluer. and express our abhorrence of the meth-
ods adopted by the shipowners, in the pursuance
of which the said Andrew Kelner came by his
death; further
Resolved, That we regard the policy of the
shipowners including the circumstances of th"
sympathetic lockout, the sending of vessels to
sea manned by inexperienced men and boys, and
in many instances by Japanese and other aliens
unacquainted with the English language, and the
shanghaiing, or impressment, of such crews — as
contrary to law. inimical to public welfare an!
dangerous to life and property; further
Resolved, That we regard the motive of the
dispute upon the part of the shipowners— namely,
the destruction of the unions on the water-front —
as abhorrent to all sense of fair play, distinctly
reactionary, and, if possible of accomplishment,
destructive of that spirit of independence and
equality upon which the workingmen must depend
for the maintenance of their rightful place in
society, and upon which the nation depends for
the perpetuation and advancement of its in-
stitutions; further
Resolved, That we commend the attitude of
the unions in their ready acceptance of the pro
posal to arbitrate and earnestly urge upon the
shipowners the adoption of a like attitude, to the
end that the merits of the dispute may be fully
determined, and exact justice done to all parties,
and that the public may be relieved from the pies
ent inconvenience and loss caused by the hin-
drance of commerce, and that a copy of these res-
olutions be given to the press, the Sailors' Union
and the San Francisco Labor Council.

Labor Will Bury the Dead.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company, through
the incompetency of its officers and the deficiency
of its equipment, caused the loss of scores of
lives in the wreck of the Valencia this spring.
In its usual heartless manner it devoted itself
to "squaring" itself with the Government officials
for its criminal neglect. Having accomplished
that, it is content to let the bodies of the victims
of the disaster rot where the cruel waves have
cast them up on the wild Vancouver Island
shore. Organized labor in Seattle has undertaken
to give the bodies of these martyrs
to corporation greed a decent burial.
The Building Trades section of the Cen-
tral Labor Council took the lead in this humani-
tarian move, and the main body — the Council
last Wednesday night voted $100 for the
burial fund that is being raised. It is germane
to mention, in this connection, that the same
Pacific Coast Steamship Company is now hiring
Siwashes, Kanakas and negroes to take the places
of white sailors, cooks and firemen who quit its
employ because an increase in wages was re-
fused them and is paying the mongrels more
than the white men struck for — Seattle
(Wash.) Union Record.
Eureka Speaks Out.
The following resolutions were adopted by the
Trades Council, of Eureka, Cal., on July 20:
Whereas, It appears by our daily press that the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company is catering to
the passenger ami freight trade of our city and
county with San Francisco; and,
Whereas, The said company, without being
asked by the Sailors' Union for any increase in
wages, tied up its steamships, not caring one
iota for the feelings and interests of this city
and county, and thereby delaying mail, express
facilities and passenger travel; therefore, be it
Resolved, That all citizens who have the inter-
est of this city and county at heart, to recipro-
cate said action of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, do give and do leave their patronage
with, those other steamship companies who stood
by us during these days; atid be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to each of the San Francisco Trades and
Labor Council, the California State Federation
and the State Building Trades Council; and be it
further
Resolved, That these resolutions be sent to the
three daily papers of our city for publication.
Does It Merit Sympathy?
The United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation, of San Francisco, a "Closed Shop," de-
mands an "Open Shop" on its boats. It demands
the right to fix the price the public shall pay for
freight and to regulate the plan of that service
for tht; public. It also demands the right to hire
whom jt pleases, at the wage it pleases, and un-
der the' conditions it pleases. It says the Sailors"
Union must become an "Open Shop." But it
has forced si tight a shop for itself that two mills
in this city dared not furnish lumber to complete
the cargo for an independent steamer the past
week. Controlling a branch of transportation, it
intimidates some of the mills into assisting it
in fighting the sailors. The public pays the raise
in freights, the extra police, and the loss in busi-
ness, Does the Association merit public sym-
pathy in its light?— Grays Harbor (Wash.) Post.

total of last year. All but two or three of the
thirty-three Alaska canneries are in operation.
Six new canneries are running this season, and
will be a heavy increase in the shipment of fresh

SHANGHAIED FROM FLORIDA.
Lewis Silcox, farmer, of Bluff Springs,
forty-four miles north of Pensacola in Stan-
ley county, Fla., after having been shanghaied
and forced to turn sailor fourteen months ago,
found a haven at New York and expressed his
thanks with fervor when he learned that he
was to be sent back to the farm and mother.
"I expect," he said, emphasizing the pro-
noun in true Florida fashion, "that I sure am
about the gladdest man to set foot on Ameri-
can soil that you-all ever seen."
Then he took stock of his surroundings
and was moved to point a moral.
"And to think that this yere thing wouldn't
never have happened if only I'd remembered
that promise I sure made to my old mother.
Yes'm, when my father up and died 'way back
so long ago I done clear forget the year, I
takes a look at ma, and she sure was too denied
pretty for any widder woman. So I reckoned
to have some conversation with her, and I sure
did.
" 'Ma,' I says, 'you're too dern good-lookin'.'
" 'Why, what does you-all mean?' she says;
but she don't show like she's mad to speak
on.
" 'I mean,' I says, 'that I sees a stepfather
in this yere house right smart, ef something
ain't done. Now, see yere, ma, I ain't agoin'
to have no over-ridin' young stepfather turning
this yere house and this yere farm upside
down, and treatin' me like I was no-account
white trash. This yere thing's got to stop
right sudden before it begins,' I says.
" 'Now ef you-all '11 promise me solemn not
to set up with any other feller old or young in
this yere township, I sure will promise never
to leave you-all, but to stay right yere and
work for you-all until one or the other on us
catches up to dad,' I says.
"She promised, and she sure kept her
promise, but you-all can jest reckon that I
broke mine, and I expect I was punished
right smart.
"It was this-a-way. In the middle of April,
T905, I went down to 'Cola to spend a few
days with some friends and buy me a new
pair of reins for the buggy. Soon's I steps off
at the de-pot, a fellei they calls a runner grabs
my arm.
" 'You-all would look healthier for a short
trip on a fishin' boat,' he says.
" 'Maybe,' I says, 'but I ain't troublin' none
ef I don't get it,' I says.
" 'Not a run 'long the coast, no further nor
Mobile, with $25 a month and four suits of
clothes?' he says.
"That sure did sound good, and I done set
right down there on the de-pot platform to
think it over. But he says: 'Come up to the
boardin' house and see the captain,' he says,
'and maybe he'll offer you more'n that,' he
says.
"Reckoned 'tweren't going to do no great
harm nohow, so I went right along. He was a
right agreeable feller, this yere runner man,
for when we got to the boardin' house and the
captain wasn't there he bought lots to drink.
But I ain't such a particular kind of fool that
Floridy's be likely to disown me, and T seen
he was a-trying to get me drunk, so I jest
stayed plumb sober.
"Anyways, he sure bought a fine supper.
But he done watch close on me and two young-
fellers he had at the boarding house. Never
let his eyes off'n tis all night In the mornin'
he says for us to come down to the wharf and
see the captain. We gets into a row-boat and
first thing I know I'm out in mid-stream on
the four-masted Dhwar Jefley, Captain Jef-
ley. The mate he says ther's a paper for me
to sign, and I sure signed it, but I told 'em I
wanted to explain to the captain.
"Didn't see the captain none until the next
day, when we had hoisted anchor and was on
our way to Antwerp. Then the captain he sees
me and he says : 'Go aloft and hoist sail,' he
says.
' 'Excuse me, captain,' I says, 'but I sure
never hoist a sail in my life.'
' 'Dam it,' he says, 'do they call you a first-
class sailor ?' he says.
' 'Ef they do,' I says, 'they call me a whole
heap out of my name.'
"I never seen land after the next day for
two months, when we entered the England
Channel, and day after that we anchored at
Antwerp and discharged our cargo of lumber.
These yere deal planks was the only fish in
our hold.
"Captain, he's right smart at figgers. He
says ef he allows me half pay, me not being a
first-class sailor, and then takes out $16 for
clothes, I'll have five francs for myself in for-
eign money.
"Wasn't quite five francs, he reckoned, but
when he was settlin' with me in the Swedish
consul's office, the consul he up and says, 'Give
him the five francs,' he says, 'he needs it.'
"Five francs don't pay board very long in
Antwerp ; so I went to the Workman's Home,
where I spent two or three months. Then I
was turned over to the Police Church Home,
where they kept me for eight days, and then
they got me passage to London for me and
shipped me over there to try my luck with
three francs that they gave me.
"Were you-all ever in London ? They sure
do take less notice of you in that city than in
any other town I know. I had got off at Lon-
don Bridge, and pretty soon I met a policeman
and told him my story.
" 'Well,' he says, 'you can't expect to draw
many dividends on three francs,' he says.
'You had better eat, and then come back
here and we'll talk things over. I went and
had a meal, but I never got back. Lost my
wav and wandered all over London for three
days with nothin' to eat, lookin' for that po-
liceman. I sure was hungry those days.
"Then I got a few pennies and started to
walk to Bristol, where someone had told me
there were lots of sailing vessels on which I
could get to America. I was three weeks on
the road and had another right hard time when
I done went without food for three days."
Disappointed in his quest, Silcox started on
another long train]). At Worcester, he ob-
tained one or two odd jobs, and he remained
in that city for a month. At the end of that
time, his case was called to the attention of
Captain 1 furry, of the Worcester Police Court
Mission, who opened correspondence with the
Sheriff of iVnsacola in regard to the case.
After several letters had been exchanged,
money was sent, and a passage was secured
for the man on the Westcrnland. In one of
these letters, Captain Hurry says, that there
is no doubt that Sildox was greatly wronged
by Captain Jelly .when lie was discharged al
Antwerp.
"And when I get home," says Lewis, fer-
vently, "I'll sure stay there. And ef you-all
should ever come to Bluff Springs, I'd be
right glad to see you— ef you don't talk fishin'."
A JOKE ON MR. PENDELTON.
Mr. 1'endelton, President of the Atlantic
Carriers' Association, sent a circular letter to
all the shipowners, shipbrokers and everybody
interested in the shipping business, with the
exception of the different locals of the Inter-
national Seamen's Union of America, notify-
ing them that his pet bill, S. 6,335, to repeal the
law requiring licenses for mates of sail vessels
over 700 tons had been passed by Congress
and become a law. As the sailors are not al-
ways willing to take Mr. Pendelton's word for
everything, they wrote to Mr. E. T. Chamber-
lain, Commissioner of Navigation, asking For
definite information on this matter. The Siil
ors received the following reply :
Replying to your letter of the ~ 1 1 1 instant, the
bill (S. 6355) to repeal the law requiring licenses
for mates of sail vessels over 700 tons passed
the Senate June 18 and the House of Representa-
tives June 26. It was neither signed nor vetoed
by the President. Congress adjourned on June
30, less than ten days (excluding Sundays) after
the bill reached the President and accordingly
(See Constitution of the U. S., Art. 1, Sec. 7),
it failed to become a law, not having received
the President's signature.
According to Mr. Chamberlain's letter ves-
sels over 700 tons are still compelled to carry
licensed mates, and it is now up to the mates
to form an organization and affiliate with a
national body so that they will have some-
body to look after their interests, because it
was not through the efforts of any mates' or-
ganization that the bill failed to become law,
but just through good luck and not good man-
agement. The mates must remember that if
this bill ever should become law their wages
would drop $10 to $15 per month, because the
owners would then have the privilege of put-
ting some of Mr. Pendelton's "American sea-
men" (Cape de Verde negroes) as mates on
board of their vessels, and it is a well-known
fact that a white 'nan cannot compete with a
negro.
Mr. A. E. Molir, who was, up to the time he
left England, about June 22, Branch Seen-
tar)- of the National Sailor's and Firemen's
Union of C.'cat Britain and Ireland, arrived
in New York recently, lie was on his way to
Baltimore to work in the interest of his or-
ganization and look into the condition ana

The Pacific Mail Steamship Company has pur-
chased the White Star liners Doric and Coptic,
long in the transpacific trade under charter to
the Occidental and Oriental Company.
The new steam-schooner Tamalpais, owned by
the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, and outfitted
by the Risdon Iron Works, had her trial trip
on San Francisco Bay on July 28.
A telegram received at San Francisco on July
25 reported that the British ship Hampton, from
San Francisco January 31, for Genoa, has been
damaged by fire to the extent of about $60,000
at Savon a.
The United States cruiser Milwaukee, built by
the Union Iron Works at San Francisco, made
a speed of over twenty-two knots per hour dur-
ing her official trial trip in Santa Barbara Chan-
nel, Cal., on July 27.
The steamer Stanley Dollar, Captain Cross, will
sail from San Francisco on August 4, for Port-
land, Or., to load a cargo of lumber for China.
After taking on the lumber the steamer will go
to Puget Sound to take in coal before proceed-
ing to the Orient.
A cablegram received at San Francisco on July
23 from Honolulu reported that the American
ship Tillie E. Starbucq, loading sugar for Dela-
ware Breakwater, had been on fire, but with no
damage to the ship. The cargo of sugar was
damaged by water, though to what extent was
not reported.
Orders have been received at the Mare Island
(Cal.) Navy Yard authorizing Master Electrician
George Hanscom to make a number of experi-
ments with the local wireless plants on the Coast,
and if they are satisfactory it is planned to equip
all vessels carrying passengers up and down
the Coast with wireless apparatus.
The four-masted schooners Golden Shore, So-
phie Christenson and Solano recently sailed on
the same day from San Francisco for Gray's
Harbor, Wash. The vessels arrived a day apart
in the order named, Sophie Christenson, Golden
Shore and Solano. The Christenson made the
passage in twelve days.
A remarkably fast trip from Coos Bay, Or.,
was made by the three-masted schooner Annie
Larsen, Captain Jensen, arriving at San Fran-
cisco on July 25 with a cargo of 450,000 feet of
lumber. Coos Bay is 375 miles from the Golden
Gate in a direct line, but the Annie Larsen came
down in two and a half days, or steamer time.
A log raft amounting to three big ships' cai -
goes arrived at San Francisco on July 23 from
the Columbia River. The lumber is in the form
of piles, bound together by chains, and measures
9,000,000 feet, board measurement. The raft was
brought down by the steamer Francis H. Leg-
gett of the Hammond Lumber Company's fleet,
and was six days on the way.
The American bark Sea King, which carries a
register under which she must enter and clear,
came from San Francisco to Bellingham, Wash.,
to load lumber for Hobarttown, Tasmania, with-
out consulting the Customs authorities. As a
result she has been fined, and Captain Krebs,
her master, is now dismissed by the owners.
Captain Bergman will probably succeed him.
Captain C. H. Cross of the steamer Stanley
Dollar was recently presented while in San Fran-
cisco with a medal in recognition of his services
on a British transport during the Boer War
from 1S90 to 1902. He was an officer on the
British transport Manchester Corporation at the
time, and the medal, presented by the British
Government, came through the hands of Consul-
General Bennett.
A dispatch from Vancouver, B. C, announces
that the Canadian Fisheries Commission, ap-
pointed to investigate the salmon-canning op-
erations of the Pacific Coast, has just filed its
report at Ottawa, as follows: "Without ex-
ception, we found conditions satisfactory. The
salmon were placed in cans in an absolutely
fresh condition, and in a most cleanly manner.
We found no cause for complaints."
A telegram received at San Francisco from Ha-
kodate, Japan, reported that the British steamer
Dumbarton has been surveyed and that the cost
of repairs is estimated at $30,000. The Dum
barton, about a year ago, was reported to have
been wrecked on the Siberian Coast north of
Sakhalin, with a general cargo, under charter to
the Barneson-Hibberd Company of San Francis-
co. She was later floated and taken to Japan
The Tiger Tug Company has filed a petition
in the United States District Court, at San Fran-
cisco, asking that the liabilities against it, grow-
ing out of the libel won by the St. Paul Fire
and Marine Insurance Company, be limited to
$3000, the value of the tug. The insurance com-
pany sued for $7500, the amount it had to pay
on account of a collision between the Tiger and
the Robert Dollar, on July 13, iao5-
Advices from Japan state that the commands
of the steamers of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
line, on the Seattle and European routes, where
foreigners have had charge, are being transferred
to Japanese, three changes having already been
made in the six vessels on the Seattle route,
Captains Ohno, Yaki and Kato relieving the Eu-
ropean shipmasters, all of whom will ultimately
be dismissed and their commands given to Ja-
panese.
The law permitting the unloading of vessels
from foreign ports after sunset has been amend-
ed to permit vessels and cars to be loaded after
sunset with bonded or drawback merchandise.
The regulation allowing inspectors of such $10
extra pay a night, or fraction thereof, has been
changed so that they will receive $1 an hour at
New York and 75 cents an hour at all othei
ports. The inspectors at San Francisco do not
understand this discrimination.
The Japanese steamer Shainano Maru, at Vic-
toria, B. C, brought news of many contem-
plated changes in Japan's navy. A naval pro-
gram has been arranged whereby the strength
of Japan's navy will reach 520,000 tons in 1908,
but it is not believed this strength will be per-
manently retained. Twenty-three cruisers will
be stricken off the effective list this year. The
detail of the proposed expansion of the navy is
now being drawn up at Tokio.
Plans for the largest and best drydock in the
world are being prepared in the bureau of yards
and docks at the Navy Department. The last
appropriation act contained a provision for a docK
to cost $1,250,000, to be constructed at the Brem-
erton Navy Yard, Puget Sound, Wash. This
amount is larger than ever heretofore appropr:
ated for a dock, and the new dock will, when
completed, be able to take in the largest battle-
ship either in course of construction or in con-
templation.
Captain J. R. Sarrins of the schooner Espada,
arriving at San Francisco on July 26 from Gray s
Harbor, Wash., has reported to the Branch Hy-
drographic Office that on July 22 at 9:15 a. m.,
about eighty-five miles northwest of Mendocino,
the vessel experienced a slight earthquake shock.
Fifteen minutes later a severe earthquake was
experienced, lasting six seconds, and giving the
impression that the vessel was grinding over
rocks. The weather at the time was clear and
the sea smooth.
Despite the fact that the board of marine un-
derwriters and the associate court of inquiry
at Hamburg, Germany, held him blameless, and
followers of the sea have applauded his month's
fight to keep the German ship Mariechen afloat,
Captain Held has been dismissed from the serv-
ice of the boat's owners. Hhe Mariechen sprang
a leak on Christmas Eve, and for a month the
crew worked at the pumps to keep her afloat.
Finally, in a blinding snowstorm, she went ashore
in False Bay, Alaska. The vessel is now at Es-
quimau, B. C, undergoing repairs. Because she
was only insured against a total loss, the owners
will. lose heavily.
An interesting experiment is being undertaken
by the fishery experts who are members of the
Fishery Commission, now making investigations
in British Columbia, to endeavor to ascertain
the course of the sockeye salmon after they en-
ter the Straits of Juan de Fuca. ' Trap owners,
both in British Columbia and Washington, have
been asked to assist. The scheme is to place
tags, bearing letter and number, indicating the
trap from which the salmon were taken, and the
date. Whenever any salmon with a tag is found
in a trap, the tag and particulars will be given
to the fishery inspectors, who hope thus to solv;
the mystery of the route of the sockeyes. The
other phase of the mystery, as to where the fish
go after spawning, is also being investigated.
Present evidence points to the Kamchatka coast.

The British Employers' Liability Act has its
counterpart in Germany, but with a difference.
Under German law all employes engaged in
labor on land or sea are entitled to receive
compensation in cases of accident ; but, in-
stead of providing the funds to meet such
claims out of capital, or by private insurance,
as in this country, each employer is compelled
to become part of an organization which com-
bines Self and State control, by joining the
Berufsgenossenschaft, or union, of his partic-
ular commercial interests. The "Seeberufs-
genossenschaft," or Seafarers' Union, is sim-
ilar in organization to that for other trades,
the administration being supervised by fifty-
four delegates, elected by the shipowners from
the members of their branch committees at
each port of importance, who, along witli
Government delegates, meet annually for the
consideration of points of importance, such as
alterations in their rules ; but a committee of
eight elected from the General Committee, as-
sisted by a staff of permanent officials, as well
as by outside experts when required, carry on
the general business of the year. Every owner
must pay to this committee an insurance pre-
mium for each-officer and man in his employ
in proportion to his wage, within certain spe-
cified limits and under rates of premium which
are adjusted to cover not only expenses and
claims, but the formation of a large reserve and
guarantee fund in the Government treasury.
In addition to the collection of premiums, the
committee has power to settle all claims under
th'e Liabilities Act, settle disputes by special
arbitration courts, issue rules and instructions
as precautions against accident, and to give ef-
fect to representations from individuals or cor-
porations which may add to the safety of life
and property. These rules have the advan-
tage of being framed by a body of those who
are most practically interested in framing them
wisely, and who have power to enforce them
against individuals under penalties, which in-
clude that of stopping the ship. After approval
by the main committee, the rules become oper-
ative immediately they receive the sanction of
the Imperial Insurance Department, the Gov-
ernment department which controls the actions
of all the trade committees. — Kuhlow's Ger-
man Trade Review and Exporter.

Mr. Hesketh Bell, late administrator of Do-
minica, in a letter to the Lon-
don Times on the question of the
insurance of estates in the West India
Islands against the risk of damage by hur-
ricanes, announces that a scheme has been
worked out under which underwriters at
Lloyds have agreed to insure planters against
that risk. Jamaica is very much concerned in
this arrangement, because of her experience m
recent years with hurricanes , Between 1844
and 1874 there is no record of a hurricane in
Jamaica. The one in 1874 was followed by a
severe one in 1880 and a mild one in [886, and
then there was nol another break until i8<^,
when great damage was done to banana culti-
vation on the island. The underwriters have
agreed to include damage done by any sort of
wind and its immediate consequence in the way
of Hoods or otherwise occurring within a period
of twenty-four hours. There are some phases
of the question yet to lie worked out, but it is
said that then- is no question of the ultimate
success of the scheme, and policies are already
issued as to the effect of hurricanes upon the
crops and upon buildings.

Well may the American boy exclaim:
"This is so sudden." its very suddenness
is ground fur suspicion. Well may the Amer-
ican buy pause and relied before accepting
the position of petty-officer on an American
steamer; otherwise, he may learn, to his sor-
row, that all is not gold that glitters in
a newspaper advertisement. Not by a long
shot!
The foregoing ad has been running in
the daily press of the Pacific Coast for sev-
eral weeks past. On its face the ad indi-
cates a revolution in the minds and methods
of the shipowners represented in the Steam-
ship Association. Heretofore the shipowners
have had no use for boys of any national-
ity: they demanded men, and good husky
ones at that. With the exception of the
messboy, the crews were composed entirely
of men big and heavy enough to hump ties
and lumber. The shipowner gave no thought
to the future of the manning problem; he
cared nothing about the race, color or creed
of his employes, so be it they were able to
stand up under the strain imposed upon them
by the traditions of the calling. The ship-
owner knows quite well that the average
period of human endurance under these con-
ditions is about two and a half years; but
he cares nothing on that score. So long as
a sufficient number of men are available for
officers, the rest may go to the junk-pile (i.
e., the hospital or the grave), and good rid-
dance to them! Frequently even the supply
of officers ran short. The shipowner, bow-
ever, was equal to the occasion, lie simplv
made a \\-w officers out of whatever material
lay at hand. When there was no material al
hand, the shipowner sent his vessels to sea
without officers. Oh, you can't phase a ship
owner when he makes up his mind to solve
the manning problem. So far as that indi-
vidual is concerned, there is no manning prob-
lem. Seamen may insist that there is such
a problem, and statesmen may agree with
them and even undertake to pass legislation
upon the subject. But the shipowner knows
better. Certainly, he ought to know. Ves-
sels come and go, with or without crews, and
that settles it. In the judgment of the ship-
owner, the only thing that really constitutes
a problem is the thing that ties up his ves-
sel. Any question that arises concerning the
methods by which the vessel is actually sailed
is a mere abstraction, a thing to be talked
about by seamen, and perchance used as an
"issue" by politicians, but nevertheless a thing
beneath the contempt of practical men and
especially practical shipowners.
A change has come over the spirit of the
shipowner's dream. The shipowner's indif-
ference has given way to solicitude, the depth
of which may he judged by the fact that he
is spending a lot id' money to advertise th
same. Evidently there is a manning prob-
lem, after all. Evidently something has hap-
pened to change the shipowner's views on
the matter. Possibly it would have been bet-
ter had the shipowner divulged the cause of
his change of mind — and yet possibl)
it wouldn't. Anyway, we will risk that serv-
ice, in the hope that, even if the shipowners
do not appreciate it, it may prove valuable
t<> the readers of their advertisement.
Something has happened, you bet ! The ship-
owners have locked out their seamen, with the
avowed purpose of destroying the seamen'.'
unions. As a result of this step, the ship-
owners have been compelled to recognize the
manning problem, and in its acutest form. In
a word, the shipowners find themselves un-
able to secure crews of any kind, even with
the aid of crimps, employment agents, gun-
fighters and all the other time-tried methods
of solving (?) that problem. And so — so
the shipowners advertise for "apprentices,"
who will "occupy the position of petty-offi-
cers on board." This is positively the pret-
tiest little parlor that ever you did spy! No
wonder the shipowners propose to reserve
the place for American-born flies (that is,
boys). The idea of apprentices who are to
he "treated as officers" and who will be
"schooled in seafaring life without going
through the work in the forecastle" is too
good to be wasted on any "foreign cattle.'
The forecastle, the tar-bucket and the mar-
line-spike may be very good and necessary,
and all tiiat, for common sailors, but for offi-
cers, Xit ! To the limbo of lost arts with
everything that savors of sailorizing. What
we need is officers, American born and over
|X years of age, and by jinks we'll have 'em
if a plentiful use of printer's ink can do the
trick!
The Steamship Association announces that
it has received many replies to its ad. This
much was to have been expected — that is,
this announcement was to have been expect
ed. However, the boys themselves have not
yet materialized in any great numbers. Pos-
sibly that is because the boys are a little
flyer than the shipowners think they are. Pos-
sibly, in fact probably, the boys recognize in
the shipowners' temptingly-worded ad
merely a scheme to use them (the boys) as
a means of gaining their (the shipowners'1
point in the fight against the seamen. Any-
way, the boy of 18, or even 8, who can't sej
this much must be very dull of intellect and
blunt of conscience — too much so to make
even a passable petty-officer. However this
may be, the Shipowners' Association adver-
tisement stands as a fine demonstration of
the saying that "patriotism is the last ref-
uge of a — " shipowner.
A WORD To THE WISE.
When the lockout of the seamen's unions
on the Pacific Coast was inaugurated by the
United Shipping and Transportation Asso-
ciation, the former publicly declared their in-
111 to fight it out alone. In order that
other crafts might not become involved, the
seam unions voluntarily severed their of-
ficial CO 11 ection with their associates in other
callings by withdrawing from the City Front
Federation. This step has been fully vindi-
cated by the results. The fight has been
confined to the parties immediately in inter-
est, and inconvenience to other parties, from
the third to the thirty-third degree, has been
1 ept down to the minimum.
It is apparent, however, that this action of
the seamen's unions has been misconstrued
in in tain sources. The act of the seamen in
relinquisl ing all claim to the active assist-
ance of their fellow-workers has been taken
advantage <<\ by certain of the latter to jus-
tify them in a course which very closely re-
sembles scabbing, which in fact is scabbing.
When the seamen declared that they did not
wish the longshoremen to quit their own
work, they did not thereby grant or recog-
nize the right of the longshoremen to do the
seamen's work. On the contrary, the sea-
men assumed, as they had a perfect right to
do. that their withdrawal from the City Fron:
Federation implied nothing" more than tlu
right of the longshoremen and other classes
of labor to continue doing their own work.
The obligation resting upon these classes ro
refrain from doing the seamen's work — that
is, to refrain from scabbing— -remained as
binding as ever.
The seamen are as firmly convinced now
as ever that their policy of strictly limiting
the area of conflict is a wise one. That policy
has been justified by practical experience
since the fight began. Properly understood
and respected, that policy is bound to be suc-
cessful. At any rate, should the seamen find
it necessary to change their policy, they will
give ilue notice of that fact. Meantime the
seamen would have it thoroughly understood
that every man who performs any work cus-
tomarily done by themselves, will be regard-
ed as a scab, none the less so because he
scabs under the pretense that he has been
impliedly granted permission to do so by the
seamen's unions.
The lines of demarcation between the work
of the seamen and of other classes of labor
connected with the maritime industry are
perfectly clear; any doubts that may exist
upon this score are hereby referred to the
agreements made, signed and sealed between
the parties concerned. We would suggest to
our friends, the longshoremen and others
who may be tempted by existing conditions
to overstep the proper sphere of their work,
that they give serious thought to the effects,
not upon the seamen, but upon themselves, of
their present course. Possibly a person, even
of average intelligence, may be excusable for
failure to grasp the real import of the strug-
gle now going on between the seamen';;
unions and the United Shipping and Trans
p( utation Association, backed by its ally and
parent, the Citizens' Alliance. But surely no
person can be so blind to all reason and ex-
perience as not to see that in such a struggle
the man who takes another man's job, or
does another man's work, which is the same
thing, is merely serving the common enemy.
Of course, big inducements are offered, fine
promises are made, and even kept — for the
time being. But these present inducements
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
are the price of future submission. The sea-
men are fully confident of victory in the fight
for the maintenance of their organizations.
But, whatever the immediate outcome to
them, the fate of those who permit them-
selves to be used on the side of the seamen's
enemies is irrevocably sealed. We suggest
that our friends give this matter the best
thought they are capable of, with a
view to determining where they are at
before it becomes too late for them to exer-
cise any choice in the matter.
It is reported that the Amalgamated Meat Cut-
ters and Butcher Workmen's Union are using
their trade-union label not only as a guarantee of
union-made goods, but as a guarantee of purity
of product. This use of the union label, if rigidly
adhered to, would give the trade-unions a power
greater than any other agency they could adopt.
Suppose the food makers' unions to have won
public confidence in the integrity of their labels,
how long would a strike last in any food-produc-
ing trade? If the label were a guarantee, for in-
stance, that the canned meat of the packers using
it is wholesome meat, that imitation coffee with
the label is unadulterated with real coffee or
worse, and so on through the list, a strike involv-
ing withdrawal of the use of the label would be
a tremendous labor weapon. This use might not
be applicable to some trades, but there are many
besides the food trades to which it would be ap-
plicable; and it would be effective because it
would appeal to one of the strongest of mo-
tives— self-protection.. — The Public, Chicago, 111.
These views are significant, not so much
on their own account as on account of their
source. The Public itself, t although claim-
ing to be printed by union men, refuses to
run the union label, because, as it says, that
device is merely a "tag," representing noth-
ing, so far as the printer's product is con-
cerned, but submission to the Allied Print-
ing Trades. As a matter of fact, every
union label stands for quality, based upon
the inference that that product is best which
is manufactured under the best conditions
of labor. A trade-union can't always guar-
antee the quality of the material in a given
product, but it can, and does, guarantee
the quality of workmanship. The power of
the union label, in respect both to quality
and workmanship, is limited only by the de-
mand for that device, and the latter, in turn,
is limited by the attitude of those who, while
employing union labor, refuse to display up-
on their products the proof of that fact. The
employer of union labor can have no logical
or legitimate excuse for refusing to use the
union label. The fact of such refusal is
ground for suspicion that the employment of
union labor is a matter of necessity rather
than of principle.
John Ossian Soderquist, a seaman on the
lighthouse tender Madrona, was presented
with a silver watch, suitably inscribed, by
the Seamen's Institute, of San Francisco,
on July 8, in token of his bravery in rescu-
ing an apprentice on the British ship Ra-
hane, who fell overboard on February 18.
Soderquist's act in jumping between the ship
and the dock is described by his admirers
as a fine piece of work.
The Seamen's Institute, late of 33 Steuart
street, San Francisco, and now located at
517 Davis street, between Jackson and Pa-
cific, announces that its savings bank is still
doing business. Deposits and withdrawals
may be made at any time. A large number
of letters are lying at the Institute await-
ing their owners. Services are held as usual,
Sundays at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m., in the chapel
behind the Institute.
Demand the union label upon all purchases.
Mr. L. FI. Gray of the firm of L. H. Gray
& Co., announces that "in future the employe:)
on the steam-schooners are to be treated as
individuals and no terms or concessions are
to be made to the sailors through business
agents of the unions. Should there be griev-
ances, the shipowners will hold an investiga-
tion and adjust the troubles direct with the
men." Now, what d'ye think of that? Here-
after the seaman, as an individual, will meet
the shipowners, also as individuals, of course,
and the trouble will be adjusted, to the satis-
faction of at least one individual, let us hope.
We are not informed as to the source of Mr.
Gray's information, but presumably it is
authoritative. Well, we'll see. Possibly Mr.
Gray may find that in framing up his pro-
gramme without consulting the seamen he has
been just a little premature. It isn't always
safe to leave the host out of the reckoning.
For the information of those boys, "Amer-
ican born and over 18 years," who may want
to know something of the duties of a petty-
officer, we would say that these are about as
follows : First year, sweep decks and say
"Yes, sir," and "No, sir," at the right time;
second year, sweep decks and keep your
mouth shut all the time ; third year, sweep
decks and jump as high as possible every time
the captain or mates let out a roar. Petty-
officers of more than three years' experience
are entitled to choose between promotion to
the rank of able-seaman or condemnation to
the fate of petty-officer for the rest of their
lives.
The rehabilitation process in San Fran-
cisco has encountered an unforeseen snag.
Money is plentiful, but labor is scarce — that
is, it is scarce at the terms offered. If only
money could be made to build houses, wouldn't
it be a fine thing — for the man who owns
the money ! Now the man who owns the
money finds that he must go to the man who
owns the labor and make a deal with him for
the exchange of their respective forms of cap-
ital. Ain't it a pity that twenties are not
beans or potatoes, so that by merely planting
them they might grow into something good
for eating. Truly, the labor problem is a
nuisance !
Members of the Sailors' Union of the Pa-
cific who have had occasion to meet and in-
terview the men shipped from the East as
strike-breakers speak in the highest terms ot
the friendly spirit shown by the railroad men
along the line. To the information and as-
sistance given by the latter is largely due the
•success of the union scouts in securing inter-
views with the intended victims of the United
Shipping and Transportation Association.
That much accomplished, the rest was easv.
The seamen will always remember with grat-
itude the assistance rendered by their fellow-
workers on the railroads.
Judge W. W. Morrow, in the United States
Circuit Court at San Francisco, has granted
an injunction against the Sailors', Firemen's
and Marine Cooks and Stewards' unions,
including an indefinite number of Does, Roes,
Poes, etc. The said Does, ct al., will now
understand that they arc enjoined from do-
ing everything that they have no right to do,
and which, therefore, they don't want to do.
As to those things which they have a right
to do, the said Does, ct al., will continue do-
ing them as hereinbefore aforesaid.

SAILORS AND FIREMEN.
MORE STEEL TRUST FREIGHTERS.
Some of the vessel officers are freely pre-
dicting the downfall of the Firemen's Union
next season; others predict the downfall of
both the Seamen's and Firemen's Unions.
There is a scarcely a doubt but the wish is
father to the thought. The overtime, watch-
and-watch edanse in the contract for [906,
is very, very objectionable to some of the
masters and mates. Why? The reason is
very simple. It takes the slave-driver's
power from him. and they do not like it.
I do not mean to say this is true in all cases,
or in many cases, hut it is true in some, < hi
some vessels I do not blame the mates; they
are working an undermanned vessel at best
Th< v receive orders to give watch and watch
and pay no overtime. What is the result?
The mates have to do the work themselves.
I could tell you the name of a first-mate who
recently stood a forty-eight-hour drill and
then took his boat out. This, it would ap-
pear, will finally lead the mates into an or-
ganization to protect themselves, as tin
men are doing. A well-known master, who
sails one of the best steamers 011 the Lakes,
told the writer recently that there would
never he another contract signed with the
firemen or the seamen, and we made a bet
on that. He said: "We can gel all the
men we want for firemen. We had them
whipped last spring when the longshoremen
pulled off their contract and left the firemen
in the air. The owners could have cut their
wages $25 per month if they wanted to.
They (the firemen) were kept completely at
the mercy of the owners."
Now, while this may he true of last spring
it will not be true of next, 1 hope. But where
will the relief come from? The Longshore-
men have a two-year contract. Xext \ ear
they can't help the firemen. Then what can
the Firemen do to help themselves? They
musl do one of two things, namely, get
where they belong, or go up against a battle
for existence next spring.

When the crew of the barge Antrim of the
Gilchrist fleet attempted to raise the anchor
outside the harbor of Duluth on July 13.
they found that it was securely fastened at
the bottom of the Lake. An investigation
showed that it had become entangled in the
wreck of the steamer Thomas Wilson, which
was sunk in collision, with the steamer
Hadley a few years ago, carrying down sev-
eral of her crew. After working several
hours in seventy-five feet of water a diver
succeeded in getting the anchor free. The
steamer Sherwin, which was to tow the
barge to Lake Erie, had in the meantime left
pi >rt without it.
A contract has been closed between the
Lorain Coal and Dock Company and the
American Shipbuilding Company, for the
purchase of a fuel lighter, for use at Lorain,
which will be the largest and best-equipped
of its kind on the Lakes, 'flu- contract price
is S.10,000. The new lighter will be 180
feet long, with a 38-foot beam.
Demand the union label on all products !
The Pittsburg Steamship Company, which
is the Lake end of the United States Steel
Trust, will during the next few days place
orders for at least two big freight steamers
for [907 delivery. President Coulby has for
some time been getting data on the different
sizes of freighters that have been turned out
recently and has taken the matter up with
tlie shipbuilders.
Lids will probably be received from the
American Shipbuilding Company and the
Great Lakes Engineering Works. The size
of the new boats has not been decided Upon,
but they will carry upward of 10,000 tons
and it is reported that prices will be named
for two ships to be 552 feet over all and
58 feet beam. If that size is settled on the
new boats will be seventeen feet shorter
than the original big four, which are the
William L. Corey II. C. brick. G. W. Per-
kins and !•'.. II. Gary. But they will have
two feet more beam. The carrying capacity
o fthe new boats will be about the same as
the four steamers named and the steamer
Gary held the ore cargo record until the J.
I'ierpont Morgan > fthe same fleet came out
last month. Mr. Coulby thinks pretty well
o fthe four first boats he ordered for the
Steel Trust and the general dimensions of
the new boats will probably not differ
greatly from them.
Mr. Coulby has, since he has been at the
head of the Pittsburg Steamship Company
ordered eight steamers of the largest class,
'fhe steamers Corey. Gary, brick and Lev-
kins, which are 569 feet over all. came out
last season, 'fhe other four were the first
600 foot ships to Ik' ordered on the Lakes.
The first of the steamers, the J. I'ierpont
Morgan, went into commission last month
and she holds cargo records from Kscanaba
and Lake Superior, 'fhe second boat, the
Henry II. Rogers, will go into commission
in a short time, and it will be late in the sea-
son when the last two of the 600-footers
come out.
THIRD SOO LOCK.
As a result of the recent inquiry by the
Lake Carriers' Association at Washington,
D. C, definite provision will be included in
the next River ami Harbor bill for a third
lock at Sault Ste Marie to be located north
of the Poe lock. The appropriation for the
lock is the largest single Lake item in the
bill, 'fhe lock will be built to accommodate
a draught of twenty-five feet, and is estimat-
ed, roughly, to cost $10,000,000. Altogether
the bill will carry about $15,000,000 appro-
priations, two-thirds of it authorizations and
one-third money immediately available.
About $2,000,000 is appropriated for the
Cleveland harbor and $2,000,000 for the im-
provement of the lower Detroit River. It is
understood, also, that the bill will contain
an authorization for the deepening of the
connecting waterways to either a twenty-
two-foot or a twenty-five-foot stage. A re-
port as to the cost of this improvement has
been submitted to the War Department, but
the cost of the twenty-five-foot waterway-
is so greatly in excess of a twenty-two-foot
channel that it is not likely to be considered.
BOATS ARE FINED.
A number id boats have been fined $200
each recently for passing in the "cut" above
Little Mud Lake in St. Mary's Liver. Most
of the boats are owned in Cleveland. The
regulations provided by the Secretary of
War are that boats shall not pass in this
cut. which is narrow, making it extremely
likely that passing vessels will come into
collision and to grief. In narrow passages
of that sort boats are likely to take a sheer
when slowing down to pass Such sheers
in the past have caused disasters and the
sinking of the boats in collision. The Gov-
ernment has had a number of experience!
where a good deal of trouble has been caused
and commerce delayed by the sinking of a
big boat in such a narrow channel. Tht
regulation was imposed to prevent such dis-
asters, 'fhe rule was beginning to be hon-
ored in the breach, principally, and the Gov-
ernment officials were notified. They pro-
posed to make an example of the boats
lit in the act, and live or six shipmasters
have been fined $200 each. It is hoped that
this information getting abroad will stop the
practice.
'fhe officers of the Government make the
statement that it has been a miracle that
some of the passing steamers have not come
into collision and blocked the channel. They
say that a- often as any boats are found vio-
lating the rule the fine will be imposed, and
that if this is not satisfactory they will sta-
tion a revenue-cutter there to see that the
rules are obeyed, 'fhe matter is likely to
be brought before the owners, as well. The
Government and the owners have a vivid
recollection of the sinking of the Douglas
Houghton, at Sailors' Encampment, and the
delay that entailed They do not care to du-
plicate the experience through the impa-
tience of shipmasters who disregard the rule
and pass in the narrow and forbidden chan-
nel.
'fhe Detroit Shipbuilding Company has
acquired a parcel of land 164 feet on At-
water street, Detroit, and running back
about 450 feet to the river. This has di-
vided its holdings, which have a frontage on
tin- street and river of 800 feet or more.
Vice-President Fair says improvements will
be made soon on the new property. He
will not admit that a big drydock. capable
of accommodating the largest freighters, will
he constructed, but it is known that he fa-
vors such a course, and that the company
now has sufficient land for such purpose,
by building dock on an angle with the
river.
Dunkirk is to be made a distribut-
ing center for that section of the coun-
try by Edward Hall, Edward (lines
and other prominent lumber dealers of Chi-
cago. It is planned to bring the lumber to
that port by boat, reload it into cars and ship
it by rail to destination. Representatives of
the companies, who are making arrangements,
state that from 30,000,000 to 50,000,000 feet
will lie distributed from Dunkirk each year.
The Washington avenue dock owned by the
Erie railroad is to be used for unloading pur-
poses.

The William P. Snyder, which broke one
of her cylinders off Colchester, in Lake Erie,
recently, has been repaired at the Great
Lakes Shipbuilding Company's engine plant.
Lumber receipts at the Tonawandas for
June were 65,123,504 feet, against 52,890,155
feet for the same period last year. Ore
receipts were the largest of any one month
known, amounting to 53,000 tons, which was
6,000 tons over the largest month up to
June, 1906.
Delwin Fisher, of St. Joseph, Mich., suf-
fered revocation of his papers as second-
class pilot at the hands of the Chicago In-
spectors, and appealed his case to Supervis-
ing Inspector Westcott, at Detroit. Captain
Westcott has written Mr. D Fisher, declin-
ing to interfere in the action of the Local
Inspectors.
Inspection of the Soo Canal traffic records
to date this month discloses the fact that
more boats passed through the locks on July
5 than on any other single day of the pres-
ent season. The total was no. This num-
ber breaks all records for the year, although
on one day last month 103 vessel passages
were registered.
It will be between Seytember 1 and Sep-
tember 15 before the steel barge Manila
comes out of the yard of the Toledo Ship-
building Company. The repair job on the
wrecked barge will be one of the biggest
ever performed on the Lakes. About 475
men are working on her, and she went into
the yard the middle of June.
The steamer City of the Straits, on a re-
cent trip, picked up a badly decomposed
body about eleven miles off Middle Bass
Island and turned it over to the coroner at
Put-in-Bay. It is thought that the body
may be that of a member of the crew of the
schooner Tasmania, which was wrecked on
Lake Erie last fall.
Contracts have been closed between offi-
cers of the United States Transportation
Company and the Toledo Shipbuilding Com-
pany for the purchase of two new ore car-
riers for 1907 delivery. The dimensions have
not yet been decided upon, but it is said
the boats will be in the 9,000-ton class. The
contract price for both boats is said to be
$700,000.
The schooner Olga, which President
Smith of the Great Lakes Towing Company
bought at marshal's sale at Tonawanda, will
be used as a lighter at Buffalo in place of
the Active. The Active will be stripped and
her McMyler machine and clamshell will be
placed on the Olga, which has a capacity of
1,300 tons. The Olga was formerly the
Sandusky ,of the Bradley fleet.
A diver who, under Government direc-
tions, had been working several days depos-
iting 1,000 pounds of dynamite about the
hull of the barge Yukon, which has lain al-
most directly off the harbor entrance at Ash-
tabula since October 21 last, recently explod-
ed the charge, and a drag over the spot af-
terward showed nothing left of the wreck.
Much of the debris came to the surface and
is drifting ashore.
The Mutual Transit Company has char-
tered the package freight steamer George
Gould for the season. The company has
six package freighters of its own, and now
has seven boats in commission. The com-
pany has been accustomed to charter boats
to help handle its business, but 'usually
this has never been necessary before Sep-
tember 1. The west-bound package freight
business to the head of the Lakes is very
heavy with all of the lines The Mutual
Transit Company has removed from the
third floor of the Board of Trade building
in Duluth, to the ground floor, where it oc-
cupies the space formerly occupied by the
Eagle Mountain Mining Company, and pre-
vious to that by the Western Transit Com-
pany.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
WHALING INDUSTRY.
United States Consul Gabriel Cic Ravndal,
of Dawson, Yukon Territory, has furnished a
report on conditions in the Far North, which
contains interesting information regarding the
whaling industry. The consul forwards cop-
ies of letters received from masters of whaling
sels. 1 !e writes :
"My correspondents maintain that wanton
slaughter by bombs and otherwise of young
whales is practiced at certain coast points by
irresponsible parties operating from shore.
During the year 1905, if I am correctly in-
formed, the total number of bowhead whales
caughl by the North Pacific fleet was 74. They
yielded 118,715 pounds of hone, valued at ap-
proximately $593,575. One of the largest
catches was made by the William Bayliss. She
brought to San Francisco 35,000 pounds of
valued at St 50,000. The total tonnage of
the whalers sailing from San Francisco con-
sists of ten steamers and harks and six schoon-
ers, with a total tonnage of 3,766. Seven ves-
ied he fore the ice closed in and are
now starting on their spring run north. The
former American whaling fleet of some 1,000
Is, plying all seas of the earth, since the
advent of petroleum has dwindled to about 15
sailing from New Bedford, and less than 20
sailing from San Francisco. In 1857 the whal-
ing industry of New Bedford had reached its
highest point. At that time its fleet was worth
more than Si 2,000.000 and required 10,000
seamen. Then came the Civil War and the
discovery of mineral oils, and the whale fish-
ery received its death blow."
Captain A. II. McGregor, of the steam
whaler Karluk, writing from Ilerschel island
February 27, says :
"The fur trade is not worth the necessary
outfit, even if we had the material to trade with,
as the Hudson Bay Company is in supreme
control. The whaling outlook is not rosy. The
business is certainly falling behind. The last
two seasons have been discouraging. If the
bowhead whale is not protected he will soon
he exterminated, not by the whale ship, hut by
the ruthless slaughter of irresponsible shore
fisheries or whaling stations, mosl prominent
of which are Point Mope and Point Harrow.
In [898 at Point Barrow alone they struck
and (probably killed) something over 400
whales, only 25 of which were secured. In my
time I have seen 14 ships with their boats low-
ered and all fast to whales and not one of
them lost. Nowadays it is rare to see two
ships securing whales at the same time. Cap-
tain Murray, who has a fifty-year experi-
ence, has seen between 50 and 60 ships at one
time, either fast to whales or cutting in, show-
in- how the whale population has been devas-
tated."
Captain W. F. Macomber, of the steamer
Thrasher, writing from Ilerschel Island,
March 3, says :
"Regaring whaling, 1 should say that the
bowhead is being gradually exterminated, not
so much by catches by ships, as there are at
presenl only 12 steam and gasoline vessels in
the business, hut by the irresponsible parties
on shore whaling, carried on from Cape Smith
— that is. Point Harrow to Point Hope — where
whales, mostly young ones, are bombed from
the ice floes and boats, with a small percentage
of them saved.
The whalers report they have sufficient sup-
plies to subsist them until AugUSl with help of
deer meat, which they were receiving in large
quantities. The vessels were in safe harbors.
and no danger was anticipated when the ice
broke up. They expected to get out about
July 10, which is an unusually early date for
vessels to be released.
LOSS" OF SHIP.
By the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, it is
provided that where the service of a seaman
terminates before the date contemplated in
the agreement, by reason of the wreck or loss
of the ship, he shall be entitled to wages up to
the time of such termination, hut not for any
longer period. < In March 10. [905, a seaman
signed articles at the British Consulate at New
York to serve on the steamship Oldhamia
at £4 a month wages. By the articles he
agreed to serve for a voyage not exceeding
three years in latitudes which included Japan,
Manchuria and Siberia. A state of war ex-
isted at that time between Japan and Russia.
The < Hdhamia subsequently left New York, it
being stated that her first port of call was to be
Hong Kong. On May 18, 0x15. she was cap-
tured by a Russian cruiser in the neighbor-
hood of the Straits of Formosa and her crew-
were put on board another Russian war ves-
sel. < )u June 2 the Russians destroyed the
( Hdhamia, and later the seaman was taken to
Hong Kohl;-, whence he was sent to England
as a distresed seaman, arriving on September
5. [905. 1 le then made a claim for wages from
March 23 to September 5, and on the
owner of the ship refusing to pay except up
to May 18, he took proceedings in a court of
summary jurisdiction to recover the sum
claimed.
No evidence was given as to the nature of
the cargo of the Oldhamia, nor that her cap-
ture was justified, nor that her destination was
any belligerent port. The seaman did not, in
fact, know the nature of the cargo, nor the
destination of the ship beyond Hong Kong. I to
behalf of the owner it was contended that the
seaman's rights to wages terminated when the
ship was captured on May 18. as she was then
lost within the meaning of the Act. The
magistrate decided that the ship was
not lost when captured, and that therefore the
seaman was entitled to wages as claimed. The
owner appealed to the High Court.
Without deciding whether the ship would
have been "lost" if she had merely been cap-
tured, the High Court held that when the ves-
sel was destroyed she was "lost" within the
meaning of the Act, and that therefore the sea
man was not entitled to wages after the time
of such destruction.— Sivewright v. Allen,
King's Bench Division, April 20, [906.
As a consequence of the opening of the
Simplon tunnel in May, a triweekly "train do
luxe" is to be placed 111 service over the new-
route for passengers between England and
Italy via Calais, Paris, Lausanne, and Milan
Two day and two night express trains will also
run between Paris and Milan via the Simplon,
with through carriages from Turin, Genoa,
Venice, and Milan to Geneva, Laussane, Paris,
ami Calais, and vice versa.
There art- reported to be 15.000 hands on
a strike in the linen mills of Belfast and l.is-
burn, Ireland. The grievances are over the
present scale of wages and the question of the
.stem, which, besides reducing the work-
ers' weekly pay, seems to be the cause of con-
siderable friction and dispute.

ICELAND FISHERMEN'S INSURANCE
On November 10, 1903, a law was passed
making the following provisions relative to
life insurance for fishermen in Iceland:
Section 1. Henceforth the life of every na-
tive sailor engaged in deep-sea fishing on
decked vessels in local waters shall be in-
sured in conformity with the provisions of
the present law.
Sec. 2. At the time of enrolment of the
crew of a decked vessel, starting on a fishing
trip, the person charged with the enlistment is
required to prepare a special list containing the
name, place of birth, age, and civil condition of
every seaman referred to in section one, en-
gaged as sailor, mate, or captain ; and to for-
ward this list, as soon as possible after the en-
listment, to the Insurance Board provided for
in section 4 of the present law.
Sec. 3. Every seaman insured in conform-
ity with the present law is required to pay into
the insurance fund specified hereinafter a
premium amounting to 15 ore ($0.04) for each
week's duration of the winter fishing season
for which he is enlisted, and 10 ore ($0,027)
for each week of spring or summer fishing, the
premium being computed from the day of en-
listment. The ship-owner may pay to the
agent charged with raising the ship's crew,
upon the discharge of his seamen, the amount
of the premium, which shall be refunded to him
from their part in the product or from their
salaries, or he may deposit, beside, from his
own money, in the insurance fund,
half of the total premium for the
crew collecting; his contribution shall
also be the duty of the enlistment
agent. The premium is payable at the time of
enlistment and may be collected by seizure. The
enlistment agent shall pay the amount of the
premiums into the insurance fund each year
at the expiration of the month of September,
with two per cent deduction for the cost of col-
lection.
Sec. 4. The Insurance Board shall be ad-
ministered by three persons under State super-
vision. The Government shall name one mem-
ber of the Board, the asociation of ship-owners
having the largest membership in the country
shall select the second, and the association of
seamen having the largest membership, the
third. Each year one of the members of the
Board shall retire, the first time by drawing
lots, and another shall be appointed or elected
in his place ; however, the member retiring shall
not be re-elected or reappointed. If a member
dies or retires for any cause whatsoever during
the period between two elections, the Govern-
ment shall replace him by a temporary mem-
ber, until the permanent member can be regu-
larly chosen. The Government may also dis-
miss a member and take the necessary meas-
ures for the selection of the new member. The
Government may use, each year, the sum of 400
crowns ($106.80), charged to the insurance
fund, for services and expenses.
Sec. 5. If a seaman is drowned or becomes
the victim of an accident in the course of the
period for which he has paid an insurance
premium in conformity with section 3, there
shall be paid by the insurance fund, to his as-
signs, widow, children, father and mother,
brothers and sisters, a yearly allowance of 100
crowns ($26.70) during the four years next
following.
If there are no claimants of this class, the
sum shall revert to the insurance fund, unless
contrary disposition has been made by a will
conforming to law.
Sec. 6. If it happens that the insurance
fund does not suffice to pay the annual allow-
ances provided for in Sec. 5, the State treas-
ury shall supply the deficiency, reserving the
right to be reimbursed thereafter when the
condition of the fund shall have improved.
However, the contribution of the State treas-
ury shall not exceed 15,000 crowns ($4,005) a
year.
Sec. 7. Immediately after the establishment
of the Board provided for in section 4, the
Government shall issue, upon the recommenda-
tion of the Board, an order to regulate the ex-
ecution of the present law.
Sec. 8. The present law shall enter into ef-
fect January 1, 1904. — Annuaire de la Legis-
lation du Travail, 1904.
ARBITRATION IN NEW YORK.
One of the commonest objections to unre-
stricted immigration is its tendency to under-
mine the organizations of wage workers,
which are now generally recognized as the
principal defense of the American standard
of life. The method of defense is through the
substitution of collective barganing for indi-
vidual contracts, in the making of which a
single employe is necessarily at such a disad-
vantage that he seldom obtains the wage that
free competition theoretically assures him. Col-
lective bargaining makes for justice and in the
long run for industrial peace, also, as it makes
a trade dispute a very serious affair to be
avoided at the cost of almost any effort. It is
the foundation of arbitration in the industrial
world, a conspicuous example of which :s
found in the important building industry of
New York City. The arbitration agreement
existing since 1903 between associations of em-
ployes and unions of employes is still some-
what experimental, but has just successfully
accomplished a severe test. Two trades — the
housesmiths' or structural iron workers, and
the painters — had already withdrawn from the
Board this year, when a dispute arose as to the
wages of carpenters in Brooklyn, who recused
to work at the rate fixed by the arbitrator, Jus-
tice Gaynor, and thereby incited the associa-
tion of master carpenters to lock out the jour-
neymen employed in the other boroughs. For-
tunately, the dispute lasted only a week, the
carpenters returning to work, June 18, at the
former rate under an agreement for an in-
crease after August 15. The State Bureau of
Mediation and Arbitration has lately suc-
ceeded in adjusting several disputes in New
York City, including one in a Brooklyn wire
hat frame factory. Its intervention also con-
tributed to the settlement of one of the funeral
coach drivers' disputes in Manhattan in May.

United States Consul H. D. Van Sant sends
from Kingston a clipping from a Canadian
newspaper describing a "freak craft, a triple-
jointed production, able to turn a couple of
circles within its length." The main hull is 30
feet long, and the outrigger 25 feet, joined to
the main hull by steel braces. Either hull can
pitch independent of the other one.
The Teltow Canal in Prussia recently

structed by the district Council of Teltow.

SHIPPING LIVE FISH.
United Stales Consul-Gcncral Richard
Guenther writes from Frankfort that experi-
ments made in Germany with reference to
cheap transportation of live fish have demon-
strated that all kinds of fish can live for days
outside of their natural element, water, un-
der certain conditions.
This apparently wonderful fact will lie eas-
ily understood by examining the breathing ap-
paratus of fish. The gills of (ish are an organ
similar to the human lungs; the blood in them
comes up close to the surface. The lungs ex-
change for the outside air, rich in oxygen,
carbonic acid which has been formed in the
lungs. On the other hand, the gills of fish are
constantly washed by water containing oxy-
gen. The thin membrane of the gills separates
the blood in them, vitiated with carbonic acid,
from the water containing oxygen and the
practical result is the same as with the human
lungs. Carbonic acid is exchanged for oxygen.
It had been noticed long ago that many
kinds of fish could live out of water for some
time, provided that the gills remain wet. The
experiments made aimed at keeping the gills
wet and to see to it that this moisture he well
charged with oxygen. In order to keep the
gills wet the evaporation of the moisture of
the gills had to be prevented ; for this pur-
pose the fish were placed in an atmosphere
thoroughly saturated with water vapor. An
hermetically closed wooden box was filled with
water to the depth of about one-third of an
inch, or the bottom was covered with wet rags,
which through evaporation kept the air in the
box always saturated with water vapor. The
fish were placed in a box, which was then
shut hermetically by the lid.
Through a tube, reaching to the bottom,
oxygen was introduced and allowed to escape
through a tube in the lid. This oxygen before
entering the box, passed through several water
bottles which thoroughly saturated it with
water vapor. In this way the fish are always in
a pure oxygen atmosphere and a drying up of
the gills is not to be feared. The result of the
experiments was surprising. Car]), tench,
bleak, and other fish remained in the box for
from three to four days perfectly well. When
they were then placed into water to be fed they
swam about in a lively manner and appeared
perfectly fresh.
It is expected that this mode of transporta-
tion for fish will become popular, as it is much
more economical than shipping live fish in
: water tank's. By the latter method the weight
of every shipment was 93 to 96 per cent water.
The North German Gazette publishes some
figures from statistics relating to the trade
of Hamburg, which will shortly lie issued by
the Bureau of Commercial Statistics of that
port. From these it appears that the sea
borne merchandise exported and imported dur-
ing [905 amouned in all to 17.374.21S tons,
with a value of $1,268, 1 6 1, 000. As compared
with the preceding year, this shows an increase
of 1,500,000 tons in volume and of $123,900,-
OOO in value. The main increase was in the
imports, hnl exports also exhibited a substan-
tial advance.
In Java the planting of indigo is steadily de-
creasing by reason of the great increase in
production of the synthetic article; in fact,
much of the land on which indigo has here-
tofore been cultivated has now been turned into
sugar plantations. Exports in [903 were 1 ,-
297,274 pounds, and in 1905 540,452 pounds.

"If I have a hobby," he is reported in

area of 8,226 square miles ami a popU

THE PRESS ON THE STRIKES.
IT ISN'T OFTEN that one finds any sense in
the editorial columns of the average daily
newspaper. In the discussion of labor af-
fairs the press is particularly stupid, and usu-
ally strongly biased against the laborer. When
one falls across an exception to this rule it be-
comes one's duty to journalism, to human intelli-
gence and to common justice to rescue it from
the oblivion in which it is born and place it
where it may be seen of all men. Hence the
reprint of an editorial from the Bulletin, of San
Francisco, under date of August 1, as follows:
"Since the fire there have been a number of
strikes in this city which have embarrassed the
work of reconstruction and provoked some of
the public to murmur. The murmurers declare
that these strikes are inopportune and that the
workingmen ought to bear their grievances and
postpone their demands until affairs in the city
shall have become settled.
"As there are likely to be more strikes in the
near future, it is well for the public to take
thought now concerning the situation and view
both sides of the case before giving judgment
against the workingmen.
"No one will admit more quickly than the
workingman that strikes at the present time are
calamitous. lie does not enjoy a strike. It
means to him and to his family privation, anxiety
and a setback that takes him long to make up.
Critics of the unions sometimes talk as if a
strike were a mere lark to the strikers. They
do not seem to consider that, much as a strike
may put the public to inconvenience, it puts the
Striking union men to far greater inconvenience.
"The workingmen will admit, moreover, that
a strike while the city lies in its present condi-
tion is justifiable only on the ground of extreme
urgency. But he will contend that the strikes
now in progress and those soon to be commenced
are justifiable on that ground by the circum-
stances.
"Immediately following the fire, landlords in
the unburncd portion of the city raised rents on
their tenants to amounts that few workingmen
could afford to pay. Flats and houses that
brought less than $35 a month before the fire
are now rented for $70 and $80.
"Simultaneously, the cost of food has increased.
The family dinner costs more than it ever did
before. So does furniture, bedding and the
clothing of womenfolk. At the same time credit
has been stopped by most of the small business
houses. The workingman must pay cash for
everything he gets.
"Therefore, the workingman, especially if he
belongs to one of the low-wage trades, must have
more money. He is reluctant to strike, but his
landlord, his butcher and his grocer press him
to the act. He must have more money or re-
duce his standard of living.
"While hesitating between his reluctance to ap-
pear extortionate before the public and his re-
luctance to give up comforts to which he and
his family arc accustomed, the workingman be-
holds his employer rapidly accumulating wealth.
In all lines of business there is yrcat activity and
prosperity. Contractors are so busy that they
can hardly keep up with their work. Merchants
say that they do not have to sell their stocks;
customers come to the counters and compete for
the goods. The sight of his employer's pros-
perity encourages the workingman to demand
more money for himself. He thinks, not with-
out reason, that he is entitled to some share of
this prosperity; that he also ought to be per-
mitted to make hay while the sun is shining.
"Many employers have conceded the justice of
the workingmen's contention and have granted
the demand for higher wages. The demand for
labor is so much greater than the supply that the
competition among employers has a strong tend-
ency to lift up wages.
"These reflections may tend to make the public
more patient with the strikers. Each strike, of
course, must be judged on its own merits, and
supported if it be worthy and condemned if it be
not worthy of the public's approval. But it is
not fair for members of the public to condemn
a strike, as such, and without inquiring whether
it be just or unjust. Disapproval without inquiry
springs from deep-rooted class prejudice and not
from any love of peace or of the city."
The Bulletin's views are almost too good to
be true; that is, they are almost too sensible to
escape suspicion of having been written by one
who knows what he is talking about, and who,
moreover, has enjoyed the unwonted liberty (un-
der some species of managerial dispensation, pre-
sumably) of setting down the truth. In a word,
the Bulletin editorial on the subject of "Why
Workingmen Are Demanding More Pay" is ex-
cellent in its way and constitutes the solitary
bit of common sense that has appeared in the
San Francisco press since the beginning of his-
tory, i. e., since April 18, 1906. This, of course,
isn't saying that one could not go a long way
further back without being compelled to modify
that statement. Not at all.
Another, and more familiar, example of news-
paper opinion appeared in the Chronicle, of San
Francisco, under date of August 2, which we also
reproduce, by way of contrast, as it were, as
follows:
"The strike of the linemen and track workers
employed by the United Railroads is exceedingly
unfortunate -for the city, because it stops work
which is of great importance to reconstruction.
So long, however, as there is no disorder the
public can get along. The public will not, at
this time, endure coercive methods or intimida-
tion. If the company can h;rc men to do its
work, they must not be interfered with. If il
can not, it will presumably have to yield or com-
promise. If the men whom it hires go prepared
for trouble, nobody will be harmed ii he does
not provoke trouble. So far we have heard of
no assaults by union men on those working, but
the history of strikes in this city and elsewhere
does not warrant the assumption that no assaults
will occur. On the contrary, it warrants reason-
able precautions against them. It is safe to say
that nobody who does not intend to interfere
with the workers cares a rap whether they arc
protected or not. It is, of course, the duty of
the city to protect them, but the police force has
been depleted by about one-fifth ami the impo 1
ble must not be expected. The inti n I oi the

interrupted, but the city has no power eithei to
compel men to work for present wages or to
force the company to increase them. The matter
must be settled by the parties directly concern d,
and it must be settled without disturbance of the
peace, and there -will be no disturbance of the
peace if the strikers keep away from the men who
are at work.
"The Chronicle docs not propose to discuss the
merit-- of the controversy. One person is about
as well qualified as another to judge what wai
should be paid for labor on the tracks. There is
this, however, to be said: The price which ought
to be paid will depend largely on the kind of
work which is done. Those who have employed
a leisure moment in watching the men at work
on clearing the tracks will probably conclude that,
as to some of the workmen, if they were paid 50
cents a day they got too much. It is not too
much to say that nearly one-quarter of the men
employed were there with the deliberate inten-
tion to do as near nothing as they could. If there
is to be a fixed minimum day's wage, it should
be accompanied with the prescription of a mini-
mum day's work. The majority of the men em-
ployed could be seen to be resolute workers, in-
tending to earn their money. It would be inter-
esting to know whether the leaders of the strike
are from that class or from the shirkers. That
fact, if known, would influence public opinion."
Doesn't it feel good to gel down to the ground
again? Sure! The intellectual atmosphere of
the Bulletin is altogether too rarefied for ordinary
endurance. Better the good "ill reasoning (?) of
the Chronicle, which, even if somewhat of a
-.(rain upon l-ch understanding, can be read with-
out blinking.
"So long, however, as there is no disorder the
public can gel along." In oiher words, so long
as the Chronicle's peace of mind isn't disturbed,
it cares nothing for the troubles of the strikers.
"If the men whom it (the United Railroads)
hires go prepared for trouble, nobody will be
harmed if he does not provoke trouble." That
is to say, armed strike breakers won't shoot any-
body who is careful to keep out of the line of
fire!
"The interests of the city require thai work
on the roads shall not be interrupted, but the city
has no power either to compel linn to work for
present wages or to force the company to in-
crease them." This means that tl must

opinions from its ancestors, which opinions, by
dint of frequent ventilation, are kept in a good
state of preservation — good enough for those who
take stock in them.
"As to some of the workmen, if they got 50
cents a day they got too much." Same thing
applies to most workmen, only it ought to be
about 25 cents a day. Human beings have been
known to live on less. Not in San Francisco, per-
haps; but then nobody is compelled to come to
San Francisco, don't you know.
"It would be interesting to know whether the
leaders of the strike are from that class (the 'res-
olute workers') or from the shirkers. That fact,
if known, would influence public opinion." Just
so. If the leader isn't all that he ought to be the
cause itself ought to be condemned. Per contra,
if the leader is a good man, his cause is good. The
cause must he judged by its leader. Good leaders
are always right and had leaders are always
wrong!
For bowelless indifference to every considera-
tion of right, reason and good public policy the
Chronicle takes the cake.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
The Unjust Injunction.
Another ease of despotism through the power
of a judge making use of his injunction whip.
Judge W. W. Morrow of San Francisco has
brought his restraining order proclivities into play
it the behest of the Hammond Lumber Company
and is reported to have definitely decided to issue
a permanent injunction against the Sailors', Fire-
men's and Cooks' and Waiters' Unions next Mon-
day. The strikers are to be restrained from in-
terfering with the business of the lumber com-
pany, and it is up to the judge and the attorneys
of the lumber barons to figure out what consti-
tutes interference.
This decision is another of those sweeping
orders that have become so common of late in
labor disputes. It is another blow by an occu-
pant of the bench against organized labor; an-
other case of the utilization of a weapon which
has been found by organized capital to be a
most convenient one in enforcing the strike-
breaking method of settling labor disputes. A
strike is on and the shipowners are having the
time of their lives to get enough strike-breakers
to take the place of the strikers. They find it
so difficult that the assistance of a judge is called
in as the last hope for stopping the advance of
the aggressive sailors.
The theory upon which the right of a judge to
issue an injunction is based is that he shall have
the power to prevent a threatened crime by the
issuance of writs, whose aim should be to deter
tin would-be criminal from committing the act,
and if he makes an attempt the court will be
in a position to act promptly the moment he
makes a move toward carrying out his inten-
tion. The whole theory of the power of judges
to lvMie these orders presupposes that the ones
againsl whom the writs are issued are contemplat-
snns asking a judge for the injunction.
In the present case the sailors do not contem-
plate the breaking of law. Yet an injunction
is granted restraining them from doing that which
thev have no intention of doing. No better proof
of the truth of this statement could be offered
than the well-known fact that during the six
weeks the strike had been in progress preceding
the request for the injunction by the Hammond
Lumber Company, there was not a single case of
a sailor being arrested by any of the shipowners.
Is it conceivable that if it really were the inten-
tion of the sailors to use lawless methods, that
six whole weeks would pass without a single
lawless act being committed that could be laid
at their door? It is equally incon-
ceivable that any act would be com-
mitted that would escape attention, for the com-
panies certainly would have any striker promptly
arrested who violated any law in carrying on the
strike.
Not one such instance has come to light. On
the contrary, the law-breaking has all been on
the other side. The hirelings and paid thugs
of the shipowners have shanghaied men and mere
boys when they could not get sailors by legiti-
mate means They have gone to the extreme
of committing murder in cold-blood, as was ev-
idenced by the shooting of Kelner, the union
sailor. Gun play on the boats and docks has been
irder of the day since the strike was begun,
and it has been the emissaries of the shipowners
who have been threatening to shoot at the slight-
est provocation, and not the striking sailors. Any
day the life of some sailor is threatened. Yet
it is against this same sailor that the injunction
is issued. Would it not be more becoming the
dignity of Judg ow if he waited till the
sailors actually threatened to commit some crime
before dishing out his orders at the request of
that party to the controversy whose hirelings
have been guilty of the lawlessness thus far com-
mitted?
What makes "Government by Injunction" in
the case of labor disputes so offensive to organ-
ized labor is that the power can lie used by a
judge so as to make of him what virtually amounts
to a lawmaker. He places constructions upon
existing laws which in reality amount to the
making of new laws. Instead of being a court
of justice where the law is impartially admin-
ed, the judge goes out of his way t-
his power for the benefit of private and priv-
ileged interests. * * *
Still, what the judge and the employer do when
the injunction method is resorted to is to forbid
men from trying to induce their fellowmen to
do something that they have a perfect right under
the law to do. There would be as much reason
in issuing an injunction against an employer for-
bidding him from making it disagreeable for one
of his employes in order to make it an object
for him to quit his job, or even forbidding him
from discharging any of his help during a strike
on the ground that doing so interfered with the
business interests of the Sailors' Union and made
it less prosperous and less able to carry out the
purposes for which it was organized.
Would there not be greater justification in the
latter course of reasoning than in the former,
for what is the purpose of the two parties in-
volved? The former exists for the purpose of
making money without any regard for whether
their operations injure society at large or not.
If they can make larger profits at the expense
of the people of a stricken city, that is wdiat
they consider their business, and they hold it
1- notbody else's business to interfere with their
profitable operations, which are allowed by law.
Compare this with the purpose for which the
sailors arc organized. They stand for the better-
ment and improvement of several thousand men
directly, and hundreds of thousands indirectly.
The union stands for improving the material,
physical and moral well-being of these men.
Which is the most deserving business — that of
the shipowners, whose sole aim is to gather in
profits, or that of the union, whose aim and
object is to better the men upon whom the future
welfare of the nation depends in order that they
ainl their families may live a more complete
and fuller life? The judge juggling the injunc-
tion places the profits of the few above the wel-
fare of the many. lie places property above
man. business interests above human rights guar-
anteed us by the Constitution of the United
States, and sets himself up as a monarchial des-
pot whose medieval reasoning must not be ques-
tioned under pain of jail and imprisonmi

History-Making at Grays Harbor.
History was made Thursday when the Superior
Court of Chehalis county issued a permanent in-
junction against the Longshoreman's Union of
this city. The Cray's Harbor Stevedoring Com-
pany as plaintiffs had secured a temporary in-
junction against the Aberdeen Branch of the
Sailors' Union. Wm. Gold, agent, and Long-
shoremen's Union Local No. 2, Charles I.
President, A. Jonas, Recording Secretary, and
M. Ingebrigtsen, Walking Delegate, as defend-
ants.
The case was tried in the Superior Court, be-
ginning July 18 and ending July 21. Judge Ir-
win handed down Ids decision Thursday making
the temporary injunction permanent.
The evidence of the three days disclosed the
fact that one defendant, a sailor, named in the
complaint was involved, but during the entire
trial no proof was introduced to show that a
single longshoreman mentioned in the complaint
had committed one lawless act, and the court
in its opinion said:
"I deem it proper to observe that it appears
from the evidence the officers of the Long-
shoremen's Union have conducted themselves
with singular good judgment and discretion, and
have endeavored to restrain the other members
of their union from committing any unlawful
acts, but were unable to do so."
Then why were these men enjoined? They
were mentioned in the complaint, tried, and the
court found that they had "conducted themselves
with singularly good judgment and discretion,"
and had done nothing of a lawless nature, but
had been unable to prevent others from doing
si 1.
There are things that are difficult to under-
stand, and this is one of them. Had the injunc-
tion extended to the sailors, the case would have
been clear, but to involve the longshoremen,
individually and collectively, also, in view of the
evidence, is not clear.
The United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation of San Francisco, lor reasons best
known to itself., decided to lock union seamen
off its boats. For six weeks the Sailors' Union
of the Pacific and the Transportation Associa-
tion have been contending over the matter which
applies to steam-schooners.
It being a San Francisco fight, nearly all the
mil! men of this harbor refused to bring the
trouble to their docks. The S. E. Slade Com-
pany was an exception to this rule. Manager W.
15. Mack barricaded his yards and sent for steam
vessels. The usual disorder attending such in-
dustrial troubles followed.
The longshoremen of this harbor refused to
load the vessels upon which there was trouble.
They are a law-abiding body of men, organized
for self-protection and mutual benefit, They
promptly loaded every vessel where there was
no trouble, but refused to touch the steam
school
The S. E. Slade Company assisted and is as-
sisting the United Transportation Association in
its attempt to destroy the Sailors' Union. When
the longshoremen refused to assist them in this
matter, the Gray's Harbor Stevedoring Company
was organized to destroy the Longshoremen's
Union. Manager W. B. Mack of the Slade Com-
pany testified on the stand that he "advised" the
formation of the Stevedoring firm. This firm is
paying exorbitant wages to get men to defeat
the longshoremen.
The Transportation Association robs the pub-
lic, refused to treat with the sailors, organizes
counter bodies 1 ry longshoremen's unions,
use- vast sums of money to purchase lawyers
to get injunctions in courts and has its lobbies
at work to secure laws letting in Orientals as
workmen on this Coast. Cannot these men see
that their plans are self-destructive? — Grays Har-
bor (Wash.) Post.
MINERS CONGRESS.
At the recent session of the International
Miners' Congress in Europe the report of the
ntial committee was to the effect that
there are 708,200 miners in Great Britain, of
whom 480,000 were organized, and had elected
14 members of the House of Commons. In
France there are about 200,000 miners, and
150,000 are organized ; they had two members
in the French Parliament. In Belgium there
are 135,000 miners, 65,000 of whom are or-
ganized, and they had two members in the
Belgian Parliament. In Germany there are
600,000 miners, of whom 1 12,000 belong to the
German Miners' Federation and 70,000 belong
to the German Christian Miners' Federation.
Austria has 135,000 miners, of whom 40,000
aire organized in unions. The United States
has 550,000 miners, 365,000 of whom belong
to unions. It was therefore claimed that out of
something like two and one-fourth million
miners [,282,000 were organized in trade-
unions, and had sent 116 delegates to the
Congress.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted de-
manding that, to prevent a recurrence of cat-
astrophes such as that which recently oc-
curred in France, there should be working-
men inspectors of mines, elected by the miners
and paid by the State, possessing the right to
visit the mines as often and whenever they
chose, and with sufficient authority to insure
that their recommendations shall be carried
out. Mr. J. P. White, from the United States,
said that workingmen inspectors could be
elected in this country, but the workmen
rarely possessed the necessary technical knowl-
edge to pass the examination. The German
delegates declared that in only about one-
third of the mines of Germany were proper
precautions taken to guard against accidents.
A new port will be opened in August on the
coast of Wales bythe GreatWestern Railway,
called Fishgard Harbor. Over 2,000,000 tons
of rock have been moved, a commodious rail-
way station, electric cranes, power house, and
marine depot, and six miles of sidings have
been built, together with powerful breakwaters
and sea-wall galleries for landing cattle. The
new harbor is surrounded on there sides by
high hills, two bold headlands six miles apart
marking the entrance to the bay. It is ex-
1 to make Fishguard a port of call for
ocean liners from Canada, the United States,
South America, Australasia and eastern points,
bound for Liverpool and Glasgow, as well as
providing a new quick route from London to
Ireland.
The British Consul at Cherbourg reports
that the project for forming a deep-water har-
bor in front of that French city has been aban-
doned. On the other hand, a decree authoriz-
ing the building of a cement quay on the south
side of the commercial basin will soon be is-
sued. By the beginning of 1907 the outer
commercial port and approaches thereto are
tn be dredged and cleaned, which will be a
-tint advantage to vessels, as it is much in
need of deepening.

CRIMPING IN MOBILE.
To the Editor of The Register:
Sir : The statement that an officer of the
law, in the pay of the city, and pledged to
suppress vice of every description could per-
mit his office to hecome a willing and eager
adjunct of the most disreputable set of law-
breakers will probably surprise and interest
the citizens of Mobile. The facts as brought
out in the case of Kademachei and Bergstrom
vs. Thompson, recently disposed of in Judge
Semmes' court, when the jury after a very
brief retirement found Crimp Thompson guilty
on both indictments revealed an almost in-
creditable state of affairs at the time.
Two intelligent, orderly and well-dressed
young men, it seems, were peacefully pursuing
their way through the streets of Mobile, look-
ing for employment. Both had considerable
money in their pockets. Both are foreigners
and have but the scantiest knowledge of the
English language. Along comes a represen-
tative of the sheriff's department, who, after
a minute's parley, unintelligible to the two
strangers, takes them into custody and places
them in confinement. No reason; no charge;
no explanation. Almost immediately after
their arrest Crimp Thompson appears on the
scene. Thompson meets and has a chat with
that misrepresentative of the law and incident-
ally gives half a dollar. Then he turns to the
victims, sympathetically makes their cause his
own. He explains a law — a peculiar law — ob-
taining in Mobile, which renders every man
wandering through its streets, apparently with-
out an object, liable to arrest, and to be sent
In tin- coal mines. But Thompson is generous.
He happens to know the officers. He will use
his influence. He would save these men from
the harsh fate of the coal mines. He has an-
other chat with "the law," which is illustrated
by another half-dollar. At last the officer yields
and agrees to give these offenders of Mobile's
sacred laws their liberty — provided they get
out of town. Out of town? Why, yes — any-
thing rather than the disgrace of prison or the
coal mines. Thompson makes them a proposi-
tion. How would they like to go in a ship.
Well, they are not sailors, but they would do
their best rather than go to the mines. They
arc now bundled off after a number of drinks
in the nearest saloon on board a Norwegian
ship, bound to England. To make them real-
ize that the Damoclean sword — in the shape
of the coal mines — is still hanging over their
beads, the sheriff shouts after the express
wagon, "Let me know if they give any trouble."
The chief mate and captain of the ship, notic-
ing the utter greenness of the men, refused to
employ them, but permit them to sleep on board
that night — because Thompson and one of his
negro henchmen were keeping watch on
the wharf to prevent them going on shore.
When they did venture back on Alabama soil
the next morning, Thompson and his fellow
vampire reversing their policy of "Samaritan
sweetness," fell upon their victims, the former
with a chunk of wood, the negro with a cob-
blestone, at which interesting juncture the
avenger appeared upon the scene in the shape
of the local agent of the Atlantic Coast Sea-
men's Union, who at once instituted legal pro-
ceedings, which have already culminated in
transplanting Mr. Thompson to that blessed
state of activity from which he succeeded in
saving those men.— X. H. Ledcr, in Morning

INJUNCTION MARTYRS.
Ex- Mayor Walter L. Ramsdell, Alder-
man Henry L. Jacobs, Alderman Harry I.
Jacobs, Business Agent J. D. McMahom
George Davis of the Building Trades Union
and International Vice-President Walter
Ames of the Machinists' Union
spoke at the reception given by
the Machinists' Union of Lynn,
Mass., to Harry Ohlson and John Tagney, the
voting machinists who were martyred to the
cause of unionism in serving ten days in jail
at Salem charged with calling one of the
strike breakers at the Essex Machine Com-
pany's plant in Lynn a "scab." They made
addresses in which "Government by In-
junction," was denounced.
Tagney, who had been in the employ 01
the Singer Sewing Machine Company, lost his
position during his ten days' incarceration. At
the reception which was held at No. 120 Mar-
ket street the headquarters of the union, Ohl-
1 on was formally initiated into the organiza-
tion.
The complaints against Tagney and Ohlson,
and which resulted in their arrest, were made
by Putnam and Freeman Storey, two strike-
breakers employed by the Essex Machine
Company. Putnam says that they were go-
ing along Union street, near Central Square,
Lynn, on the evening of June 12, when some-
body cried : "There goes a scab."
For this alleged offense, Tagney, Ohlson,
Robert Marshall and John Burke were haled
into court, charged with contempt. They ap-
peared before Judge Schofield in the Equity
Session of the Superior Court in Boston. Ohl-
son and Tagney were adjudged guilty.
PERIL OF TRAVEL.
The terribly fatal accident which occurred
recently on the railroad from Plymouth, Eng-
land, to London is the more shocking because
of its surprise.
It has become a matter of belief, inculcated
by American travelers and confirmed by de-
ductions from annual statistics, that in point
of safety to passengers the English railroads
are far superior to the railroads in this coun-
try. A good many homilies have been written
on this subject, and the greater peril of Amer-
ican railroading has been expatiated upon.
It is therefore the more curious that the
great railroad accident for the year in England
should have for its victims only Americans.
The killing of over a score of these, passengers
on the American liner from New York com-
pleting their journey to London by rail, marks
the disaster as awful.
So far as the cause of the crash of this fast
train has been definitely ascertained, it seems
to shake confidence in the claims which are
made for greater solidity of construction and
greater cue in operation of railroads in Great
Britain. One of the too frequent horrors of
American railroad smashes, however, seems to
have been absent. The crushed railroad cars
did not take fire. — Boston Post.
NEW INJUNCTION POINT.
In Judge Fessenden's court, at Boston,
Mass., recently, a test ease in which William
Smith, one of the members of the Tapestry
Weavers' Union, of East Dedham, was
charged with contempl in violating a court
injunction, was decided and Smith was dis
charged.
His attorney, George Fred Williams, raised
the point that an injunction issued against a
labor union must be served individually on
every member.
The case was an outgrowth of an injunc-
tion issued by Judge Scofield at the requesl of
the Cochrane Manufacturing Company of
East Dedham, restraining officers and mem-
bers of Tapestry Union No. 529 from "inter-
fering, intimidating or picketing."
Mr. Williams argued that a copy of a court's
injunction must be served on each member
personally, and Judge Fessenden upheld this
position.
It is very probable that this decision will be
argued before the Supreme Court. It is a
matter of much importance, because large em-
ployers of labor recognize in it a danger of
losing the opportunity of securing injunctions
in the so-called blanket form.
The basis of the trouble between the strik-
ing tapestry workers and their employers con-
sists of a light for more pay. The strike was
declared on June 1, and since that time the
Cochrane company has been employing non-
union help.
The company's attorney alleges that new
employes have been constantly bothered, and
that the business of the company has been se-
riously injured. It is also claimed that goods
to the value of $20,000 have been destroyed on
account of being held up in process.
END OF THE TEXAS.
The battleship Texas is destined to inglor-
ious duty for the remainder of her days as
a station ship at the United States naval station,
Charleston, S. C, where she will become prac-
tically a floating boarding house for the enlist-
ed men. Few vessels of the battleship class
have been assigned to such duty, but the
days of usefulness for the Texas as a war-
ship are past, Uncle Sam considers. At least,
he does not think it advisable to keep the
ship in active cruising condition.
From the very day of her launching the Tex-
as seemed pursued by a hoodoo. Ill luck fol
lowed her in after years, once to the extent
of sending the vessel to the bottom of New
York harbor.
The Texas is, perhaps, best known 1>\ her
performance before Santiago, Cuba.
The last sen ice of the warship was flag duty
with the blue-starred pennant of Vmiral F.

defenders returned from the winter maneu-
vers off Charlestown in tie spring, Rear-Ad-

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
*^^5*
Pacific Coast Marine.
*^^*
The engines formerly in the power schooner
Corinthian, recently wrecked on Humboldt Bar,
have been purchased by Thomas Crowley &
Brothers, of San Francisco, and will be used in
two new launches now nearly completed.
An official denial has been published in Paris
of a report from San Francisco that France was
abandoning her officia land military establish-
ments on the Island of Tahiti preliminary to ced-
ing the island to Great Britain.
One of the fastest sailing trips on record has
just been completed by the barkentine Skagit,
Captain Rose, which made the run from San
Francisco to Cape Flattery in ninety hours. Sev-
enty-two hours is the average time for the fast
coastwise steamers.
Six cargoes of sugar, amounting to 174,565
bags, and weighing in the neighborhood of 10,000
tons, arrived at San Francisco on July 28. All
the sugar came from Hawaii, and was in the
following vessels: Bark Kaiulani, schooner W.
H. Marston, bark George Curtis, schooner F. M.
Slaclc, bark St. Katherine and bark Olympic.
The steamer Memphis of the Kosmos line ar-
rived at San Diego, Cal, on August 4, for the
purpose of taking on about 400 tons of structural
iron for Central American coast ports. This is
the first visit of a Kosmos liner to San Diego in
more than four years, but it is believed that
steamers of the line will be frequent visitors from
now on.
The Japanese government has contracted for
2,000,000 barrels of fuel and refined oil, to be
carried from this Coast within the next ten years
to ports of Japan. The contract means an ex-
penditure of of about $15,000,000 on the part of
Japan, and it is said that the oil will be used
principally in the warships and transports of
Japan. The cargoes of oil will be obtained from
the California fields.
The steamer Lansing, now under command of
Captain C. F. Herriman, has cleared for Hono-
lulu, by way of Monterey, where she is to take
on a cargo of 45,000 barrels of fuel oil. The Lan-
sing is the largest oil carrier in the Pacific. Since
her arrival here a few weeks ago from New
York she has been fitted up for the Pacific trade
and she now starts out in regular business be-
tween this Coast and Hawaii.
A report was received from Nome, Alaska, on
August 1, that the whaling schooner Monterey,
Captain Foley, which put in there on June 20
with smallpox on board, had proceeded on July
28 for Point Barrow, with all well on board. The
Monterey is to return to San Francisco later
this season, and is expected to bring a good
catch, a good showing having been made before
she put into Nome.
The Kosmos liner Abydos, at San Francisco on
July 31, brings news of the total loss of a large
Norwegian steamer in Sarmiento channel, an
arm of Smythe channel, near the western end of
Magellan Straits, two days before the Abydos
passed through the Straits. The crew of the
Norwegian steamer, whose name was not learned,
were landed safely at Punta Arenas, but the ves-
sel and her cargo were a total loss.
A telegram received at San Francisco on
August 2 from Falmouth, Eng., reported that the
French bark Socoa, from Stettin for San Frap-
cisco, had gone ashore at Cadgwith, midway be-
tween Manacle Rocks and the Lizard. The crew
were saved by lifeboats and tugs, although a
heavy sea was running. It is thought that the
vessel and cargo will be a total loss. The cargo,
consisting mostly of cement, is insured 111 San
Francisco.
Coal for the Empress liners, running from Van-
couver, B. C, to the Orient, is to be hereafter
taken from American mines in Pennsylvania, ac-
cording to advices received at San Francisco. It
is reported that a trainload of coal was lately
started on the way across the continent for Van-
couver for the coaling of these liners. 1 he
American coal has been found to be best, even
considering the expense of the long haul from
Pennsylvania.
The cargo of the Pacific Mail liner Manchuria,
which arrived at San Francisco on August 2, is
one of the richest that has come from the tar
East in many months. It amounts to 6869 tons,
and includes 375 bales of raw silk, 595 boxes of
opium, worth about $500,000; 2724 packages of
curios, 1701 bales of gunnies, 5415 rolls of mat-
ting, 9013 mats of rice, 1 160 packages of spices,
24,058 chests of tea, 564 ingots of tin and much
other merchandise.
The new Key Route ferry-boat, under construc-
tion by John W. Dickie at Alameda, Cal., was
launched on July 31 and taken to the Union Iron
Works to have her engines installed. She is a
sister-ship of the San Francisco, for a long time
regarded as the fastest ferry-boat on San Fran-
cisco Bay, and which has proven very satisfactory
in every respect. The new boat may be named
Contra Costa. It will be some weeks before she
is read for service.
Low voices and carefully modulated tones are
to be the rule hereafter in the offices of the In-
spectors of Hulls and Boilers at San Francisco,
according to a decision handed down by Captain
John Bermingham, Supervising Inspector. This
rule grew out of the complaint recently lodged
with him by Henry S. Thomas, secretary for the
port agent of the San Francisco bar pilots, charg-
ing Captain O. F. Bolles, Inspector of Hulls, with
having talked to him in an insulting manner.
The steamer Xema sailed from Gravesend,
Eng., on August 4, for an unannounced destina-
tion. It is believed she goes to seek buried treas-
ure on Cocos Island, in the South Pacific. She
is in command of Captain Grey, who made several
trips to Cocos Island in his yacht Rose Marine.
Earl Fitzwilliam bought the Xema in 1904 for
use in the Cocos Island expedition, but found her
too small for the purpose and bought the Harlech
of the Union Castle line. The Xema is magnifi-
cently furnished. Several women accompany the
expedition.
The British steamer Apalache, Captain Mills,
arrived at San Francisco on August 1, forty days
from Hongkong and seventeen days and nine
hours from Yokohama, with a large cargo of
merchandise for Swayne & Hoyt. The Apalache
is an oil tank steamer, but in returning from the
Orient brings merchandise for the firm men-
tioned, in her tanks. When in the harbor of
Yokohama, on July 7, the Apalache was in col-
lision with the British steamer Athenian, cutting
the latter vessel nearly in half. The Appalache
herself was badly damaged, and was delayed an
entire week in her departure from Yokohama.
Dr. David Starr Jordan, of Stanford University,
says that the work of the California Fish Com-
mission is the finest example of fish culture in
the United States. Two years ago the total num-
ber of salmon eggs taken in this State by the
United States Bureau of Fisheries and hatched
by the California Fish Commission under one
management aggregated 104,000,000 eggs, which
is the banner record of the world. For the sea-
son just ended the figures reached 117,000,000,
while in Oregon, where the conditions are sup-
posed to be more favorable, the total take of sal-
mon eggs for the year was approximately 18,-
000,000.
The old American ship Two Brothers lies at
Union-street wharf, San Francisco, about to sail
for Port Harford. For two or three years she
has been laid up in Oakland Creek, while more
modern but not better vessels came and went.
Under the ownership of the Barneson-Hibberd
Company, however, the Two Brothers may re-
main active indefinitely. So fai as Tier real worth
goes, say mariners, there is nothing better nowa-
days than the Two Brothers, whose frame is of
Virginia oak, put together by Ebenezer Hinds,
master builder for Peter and William Bradstreet,
owners, on the Kennebec River, in Maine, in
1868. The Two Brothers has had a varied and
interesting career, both in the Atlantic and Pa-
cific.
The Alaska Packers' Association and kindred
corporations' report of the salmon packing season
of 1906 for the Behring Sea district, shows the
pack this year to be 886,500 cases. There have
been no reports from other Alaska districts. The
North British Columbia district pack for 1906 is
299,000 cases. Columbia River's pack is not re-
ported, but is said to be small. The packs are
much smaller than last year, with the exception
of the North British Columbia district, which is
about 9000 cases over the season of 1905-. In de-
tail the season's pack is as follows: Alaska Pack-
ers' Association, six canneries, 480,000; North
Alaska Salmon Company, five canneries, 125,000;
Alaska Fisherman's Packing Company, one can-
nery, 53,000; Alaska Portland Packing Company,
one cannery, 50,000; Columbia River Packers' As-
sociation, one cannery, 43.500; Northwestern
Fisheries, one cannery, 38,000; Alaska Salmon
Company, one cannery, 3_>,ooo; Nak Nek Packing
Company, one cannery, 10,000; Red Salmon Can-
ning Company, one cannery, 5000.

The progressive strides taken by the United
States in the last hundred years lias turned the
attention of the world to our shores, and immi-
grants come to us from all parts of the globe.
The number coming here to better their con-
dition has now passed the million mark in a
single year, and if the doors were opened wide
to the ( )rient and a favorable sentiment to their
coming created, a stream of immigration would
set in from that source which would eventu-
ally overwhelm the Pacific Coast. Those who
Americanize and whose children and grand-
children become good American citizens have
always been welcomed to this country. Hut
the races of man arc so different that they do
not mix.
It was a mistake to bring the negro here,
and doubly so because he was brought as a
slave. It is likewise a mistake to bring the
yellow man here, and particularly so because
he is brought as cheap and servile labor, which
is closely akin to slave labor. Their presence
has a deteriorating effect upon the communi-
ties in which they live, because they cannot be
assimilated ; because their competition reduces
the standard of living for those who toil for
their livelihood and because they are not only
more prone to adopt our vices than our virtues,
but also more liable to impart their own vices
to our growing civilization. Now, would not
the races develop better if they worked out
their destinies in separate countries? Corn
grows best when cultivated by itself. Plant
other cereals between the rows and both arc
stunted, for the one saps the life germs from
the other.
On tin's Coast we are concerned chiefly with
the yellow race. Would it not be better for us
to determine once for all to work out our des-
tinies separately. Let a white race build up
and cultivate a civilization here and let the yel-
low race do the same on their own soil. To at-
tempt to mix them will bring on an industrial
war the outcome of which no one can foresee.
All history teaches that if invading races were
not driven from the countries they undertook
to enter they drove the people of those coun-
Lries away or subjugated them into some form
of slavery or were subjugated themselves or
were assimilated and absorbed by the people
of the country they entered, or were strong
enough to retain their own identity and ab-
sorb the people of the invaded country. We
need not imagine for a moment that we can al-
low so persistent and industrious a race as is
the yellow race to enter our country unre-
strained without having changed materiall)
our ideals and our civilization. This applies
to the Japanese and Koreans with as much
force as it does to the Chinese. One of the
vexing problems that confronts this nation to-
day is that of the negries in the South. Let us
not heap upon ourselves an even more serious
problem in the Golden West. l.et the .Mon-
golians become as great as the endowments of
nature make possible for them, but let this take
place in their ovt n countries.
I ,el US be brave enough to do our own
work with the aid of those who are or who
eventually will become Americans in order that
we may remain true to our ideals of liberty
and equality, and develop enough independence
and strength in the ranks of our own people
soon to realize our ideals far more fully than
we possibly can realize them under tin- pi
cut industrial conditions. Labor News, Eu-

C< JMITLSORY ARBITRATION AGAIN.
The existing ''labor troubles" in San Fran-
cisco, and the probability of more to follow,
are causing great concern in certain quarters.
Blind, bull-beaded anger .-.bout expresses the
attitude of the local press and prominent citi-
zenship toward these "inopportune" manifes-
tations of discontent on the part of labor.
In the midst of darkness comes a bright and
shining light, in the person of Mr. Franklin
K. Lane, erstwhile prominent in the political
life of San Francisco and California and now
Interstate Commerce Commissioner. Mr.
Fane proposes a court of arbitration, allee same
New Zealand. To quote the gentleman's
words :
Another problem is the labor problem. You
are threatened with a scries of strikes. They
may tie up the city. Every man must strive to
avert such a catastrophe. In New Zealand they
have a compulsory law for arbitration between
capital and labor. I object to either capital or
labor raising their prices because of onr neces-
sities. Let it he agreed that labor and capital
will submit their disagreements to a court of ar-
bitration— the Supreme Justice — the Archbishop
or any other combination of leading men satis-
factory to both interests. No man can say he is
absolutely right. Questions must now be set-
tled by fair dealing and equity.
Appropriately enough, these views were ex-
pressed at the annual dinner (ahem, banquet)
of the .Merchants' Association. The mer-
chants received the light with high favor; hut
that fact doesn't necessarily attest the virtue
of the proposition. Friend Lane is an agree-
able speaker, no less so when delivering him-
self at a gastronomic function. But wc can
not help regretting, for the gentleman's own
sake; that, in his desire to be agreeable to
his hosts, he has voiced a thought iliac is re-
pugnant to every thoughtful observer of the
labor question, whether his viewpoint be that
of labor or of capital. It is extremely un-
fortunate, we think, for Mr. Lane's reputation
as a practical sympathizer with labor that he
did not express some theory, however novel,
of his own conception, rather than a proposi-
tiim that has been practiced, and disproved,
in the very land of its birth.
"In New Zealand they have a compulsory
law for arbitration between capital &nd la-
in ir." This much is known to Mr. Lane and
the gentlemen to whom he addressed himself,
also to the newspapers that have quoted the
address with approval. Everybody in the
United States knows that much, but not every-
body knows how the law works. Not every-
body reads the Coast Seamen's Journal,
therefore not everybody gets the news from
\\w Zealand and other localities of the An-
tipodes. For the benefit of everybody, we
quote from a recent issue of the New Zealand
Worker, as follows:
To-day the workers who were married to the
Arbitration Court are seriously considering
whether it is all that they thought it.
Looked at in the light of satisfying all tlte
desires of the working classes, the Arbitration
Court has been, and will always be, a failure.
irded from the point of view of a machine
for adjusting disputes and preventing strikes, it
has accomplished what it was created for — pre-
vented strikes. It has sat heavily on the chest of
unionism; it has by its protracted delays in deal-
ing with disputes half strangled some unions, but
it has prevented strikes.
So much for the good it has done! What harm
has it done? Tt has brought into existence a
form of unionist who does not conceive any
greater economic truth than that an application
to the Court may produce a rise of a shilling or
two a week.
It has washed out all the sentiment of union-
ism; it has entirely abolished the larger land-
scape of Labor's possibilities; and has reduced
unionism to a spineless inactive mass of political
and economic inertia kneeling placidly at the
feet of a tribunal for a shilling a day more.
Not only has it done this, but it has split up
the forces of Labor into isolated atoms without
cohesion of any sort, until to-day we find the
Labor movement in New Zealand a discordant
tan"Ie of dissimilar objectives — without any aim
in common save that of getting bet'er wages and
conditions from the Arbitration Court.
Now that the workers have failed to get all
they want from the Court, what are they goiv.g
to do? Wages have incerascd 8 per cent, the
cost of living has increased 30 per cent. A clean
loss to the workers of 22 per cent.
Of course, those who take the position that
any law which "prevents" strikes, whether or
not it removes the cause of strikes, is a good
thing, may disagree with our New Zealand
contemporary. We think it only fair to Mr
Lane to assume that he is not owe of tF
Criticism of the Compulsory Arbitration
law is not confined to one paper, nor to one
organization, nor to one locality. In fact, that
system is condemned in unmeasured terms
throughout Australasia. To quote another in-
stance, being the view's expressed by Secretary
Belcher, of the New Zealand Seamen's Union:
Referring to the award generally, the position
is this: The Seamen have not gained one single
concession. On the contrary, the Court have
imposed further work on the poor fellows who
now work eighteen hours a day, and deprived
them of an overtime payment which they have
hitherto been in receipt of. And this award has
been made in spite of the fact that the evidence
has proved the shipowners to be in an exception-
ally prosperous condition. They are paying good
dividends, are constantly adding large and costly
vessels to their fleets — all paid for, on the evi-
dence of Mr. Holds worth, out of profits and
earnings. . . . The fight has been unequal, and
the power of the "almighty dollar" has again
prevailed. I always believed that truth, right,
and justice must prevail, but my faith in these
virtues has been rudely shaken — so much so that
my energies in future will be directed against
Arbitration, which ignores truth and justice, and
throws its weight into the scale against the
worker.
Just another quotation on the subjec, and
we arc done, for the present. The Worker,
of Brisbane, Queensland, which, in the hum-
ble judgment of the Journal, is the leading la-
bor paper of Australasia, speaking on the Com-
pulsory Arbitration law, in its issue of July
7, says :
The Worker's attitude toward this measure is
well known. We have no enthusiasm on the sub-
ject. We can not pretend that wc expect a
deal from it. Its inadequacy has been
demonstrated in New Zealand. It has prevented
strikes, but it has not done away with the ne-
cessity for strikes; that is to say, it has not pre-
vented the exploitation of labor, nor greatly min-
imized it.
Nevertheless, we recognize Industrial Arbitra-
5 a necessary phase of our movement. The
labor parties of Australia have made up their
minds that there is something in it, and whether
there is or not only direct experience will con-
vince them.
When Labor has completed the capture of po-
litical power, it may be that the Arbitration
tribunal will be shaped and sharpened into an
instrument to make the thieves disgorge. But
that is still in the future, and for the present the
question is whether Arbitration makes for
progress or acts as a soporific.
The Worker, as will be noted, qualifies its
condemnation of the Compulsory Arbitration
law b\ the hope that "when Labor has com-
pleted the capture of political power," it (com-
pulsory arbitration) may amount to something.
'1 he Journal is perfectly willing to second
thai hope, as applied to the United States. At
the same lime, we would make the obvious
point that the day of complete capture of po-
litical power by Labor is a good deal further
off in this country than in Australasia.
We might iefer to the comment of the Jour-
nal's Australian correspondent, in the present
issue, concerning the ineffectiveness of the
Compulsory Arbitration law in New South
Wales, just as we might refer to numerous
other instances of the same sort that appear
continuously in the Australian press. But
enough has been cited to prove that the sys-
tem of compulsory arbitration is a failure, a
fraud and a farce. The opposition of British
and American trade-unionists to that system
is no longer a matter of argument based up-
on principle, but is become a matter of proof
based upon man) years of practice among its
best friends.
Those who art anxious to insure peace be-
tween capital and labor must turn their
lits it some other direction. If our
friends, instead of flattering and cajoling the
employing class with the suggestion of a sys-
tem that will compel the other fellow to con-
tinue at work under the employers' terms,
would tell the employing class just exactly
what's what, and place Upon that class its full
share ot responsibility for the labor troubles,
some good might he accomplished. To sug-
gest compulsory arbitration to that class which
persistently takes the position that there is
"nothing to arbitrate," is absurd. The spec-
tacle of that class applauding that suggestion
is one that is calculated to make the gods sac-
rifice their dignity to their risibilities.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Compair's an-
nual report, published on August 1, shows that
the surplus of $120,000, which existed at the
end of May, has been wiped out. This loss
is attributed by the company to the "eaith-
quake and fire at San Francisco, followed by
the sailors' strike." Inasmuch as the com-
pany's losses from the first-named cause were
comparatively slight, the showing of the books
may be fairly construed as indicative of the
progress made by the company in winning ( ?)
its tight against the seamen's unions. Mr.
Pyrrhus Pearcc may well retlect upon the prob-
able outcome of a victory ( ?) won at su< !i
co.-t. That gentleman would do well to reflect
also uf on the fact that he ha-.- only just begun
to win ( ?).
The National Bureau of Labor Statistics,
which has compiled figures showing the rel-
ative increase in wages and the cost of liv-
ing, finds that the latter has increased forty
per cent in the past ten years. Wages have
also increased, but not in as large a ratio.
\\ herever wages base remained the same dur-
ing this period, the result is to practically re-
duce them by forty per cent. This is ex-
actly the position occupied by the seamen of
the Pacific Coast. And yet the shipowners
insist that they can not afford to grant the sea-
men an increase of about ten per cent !

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
EVERYTHING IS LOVELY!
By the way, it is now at least a week since
we heard the statement that the seamen's de-
mand for an increase of wages is "inoppor-
tune." Demands of that kind are now quite
the fashion in San Francisco. Many unions,
among these several which were themselves
disposed to echo the "inopportune" cry against
the seamen, have recently gone on strike for
higher wages, and, hetter still, have won their
demands. Plasterers, bricklayers, plumbers,
box-makers, freight-handlers, bakers — these
are but a few of the crafts that have won
substantial improvements in their conditions
during the past few weeks. The electric line-
men, firemen and construction workers em-
ployed by the United Railroads are now on
strike for an eight-hour day, and will probably
win ; at any rate, we hope they will.
Meanwhile, the seamen's unions continue
their battle for an increase of wages in a cer-
tain class of vessels, said increase amounting
to sixteen cents (Sixteen Cents) per day
on the present wage of $45 per month. Em-
ployers of labor on shore have found little dif-
ficulty in advancing the daily rate of wages
from $3 to $4, from $4 to $5, from $5 to $6,
from $6 to $7, from $7 to $8, in the respec-
tive callings. But the shipowner, poor man,
can't sec his way clear to increasing the wages
of his employes from 1.50 to $1.66 per day,
and found.
To be sure, the shipowner now admits that
he isn't fighting against the seamen's demand
for an increase of wages. The shipowner has
built him a man of straw and christened it
"Discipline." The shipowner is fighting for
the maintenance of Discipline, for the right to
"run his own business," and against the "dic-
tation" of Andrew Furuseth. The shipowner
has one consolation, anyway ; when he gets
tired or becomes ashamed of that excuse, he
will experience little difficulty in finding an-
other one equally good. The fact of the mat-
ter is that the shipowners don't seem to know
what they are fighting about. Under the dic-
tation of Schwerin, of the Pacific Mail Steam-
ship Company, and George, of the Citizens'
Alliance, the shipowners have been forced into
a fight for their enemies and against their
friends. When it's all over the shipowners will
probably realize they have been pulling some-
oody's chestnuts out of the fire ; they will prob-
ably realize, too, that that somebody isn't very
much interested in the prosperity of the steam-
schooner trade.
Presumably the shipowners can stand it —
for a while. Presumably, as long as the latter
can stand it, no one else has any right to com-
plain. The seamen, for their part, are not
complaining. If anyone should ask, just say
that the seamen are doing very well, thank
you. The seamen are pleased to observe that
their example in the line of "resuming the
normal" has not been lost upon their fellow-
workers on shore, and, further, that the said
fellow-workers are meeting with much suc-
cess in the effort to rehabilitate the general
labor situation. The seamen are particularly
pleased to reflect that they are bearing the
brunt of the enemy's chief attack— that they
are, so to speak, engaging the main forces
of the Citizens' Alliance — thus making it im-
possible for that aggregation to offer any ef-
fective resistance in other directions. The sea-
men's day of victory will come in due course.
For the present, as we have already remarked,
the seamen are getting along nicely. We un-
derstand that the shipowners feel the same
way about it. Everybody is satisfied. Hoo-
ray!
Labor Commissioner Stafford, of Califor-
nia, reports upon the recent arrival of Chinese
and Japanese at San Francisco, as follows :
I beg to call your attention to the fact that
while for the three months ending March 31,
1906, the net increase of Japanese was 2166, the
net increase for the three months ending June 30,
1906, totaled 3606. On the other hand, while the
Chinese net decrease for the first quarter of this
year totaled 445, the decrease for the three
months ending June 30th was 748. This suggests
the possibility that, while some 200 Chinese left
the country as a result of the fire, the same
catastrophe would seem to have attracted 1500
additional Japanese.
The following is a copy of the report: April,
89 Chinese arrived from Asia, and one departed
for that country, making a net increase for that
month of 88. Of the 1531 Japanese who arrived
during that month, 1493 came from Hawaii and
38 from Asia. The increase for that month was
1520. In May the Chinese decreased 282, and the
Japanese increased 1265. For June, Chinese de-
crease, 554; Japanese increase, 821. Total de-
crease in Chinese, 748; total increase in Japanese,
3606.
These figures are significant as showing the
need of determined and systematic work to
prevent the flooding of the Pacific Coast States
with the "cheap and nasty" Mongolian. For-
tunately that need is fairly well supplied by
the Japanese and Korean Exclusion League
of San Francisco, to which body, more than
to any other single agency, is due the fact that
Chinese Exclusion still remains a prac-
tical measure of national policy. More power
to it!
Our excellent contemporary, the Worker,
of Brisbane, Queensland, now sports the union
label. The design of the Australian label is
almost identical with that of the Allied Print-
ing Trades Council and bears the legend :
"Typographical Union Label of Australasia."
A shield in the center of the label displays
five stars in the form of the Southern Cross,
symbolical of the five Colonies. The Worker,
noting the advent of the label in the journal-
istic field of Queensland, says :
Hail! The Union Label! This issue of the
Worker makes its appearance with the magic em-
blem of fairplay stamped upon its frontispiece.
It is the first paper in the State to do itself that
honor; may others soon follow.
The Australasian Typographical Union has just
issued this little mark, which is registered under
the Commonwealth Act, and with the enthusiasm
of a live organization behind it, it may be made
a power for good in the upraising of trade con-
ditions.
The Union Label is only a small thing to look
at, but it carries with it a large significance. It
stands for Unionism, and Unionism is the lever
that is going to move the world.
We congratulate our Australian contempo-
rary and fervently hope, as we confidently be-
lieve, that its example will be followed until
the union label becomes among the organized
workers and their friends in the Antipodes
the power for good that it has been proved
in the United States. Demand the union label
on ail products!
The authorities at Washington, D. C, have
replied to the protest of the seamen's unions
against the action of the Pacific Mail Steam-
ship Company's steamer Curacoa, in import-
ing a number of Mexicans to be used as a
scab crew, saying that the question involved
was settled (favorably to the Company, of
course) in the Korea case. In other words,
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, being
king on the Pacific Coast, can do no wrong!
The American boy, who doubtless has noted
the complete indifference of the American ship
owner toward him in the past, will not be slow
to perceive the insult conveyed by the ship-
owners' advertisement appealing to him to ac-
cept service (as an officer, of course) tor the
sole purpose of aiding him (the shipowini )
to defeat the seamen's demand for a slight
increase in their present wage, or rather pit
tance.

MORE LAKE VESSELS.
Orders for a total of twenty-nine new
Is for delivery this fall and next spring,
arc now in the hands of the Lake shipyards.
( >f the twenty-nine vessels, twenty-eight are
bulk freighters; the other is the new D. & C.
passenger steamer.
On Wednesday, July 18, at Cleveland. Ohio,
six new bulk freighters were ordered, i
$2,570,000, and President James C. Wallace
of the American Shipbuilding Company booked
five of the orders. This new mark fills all
the berths of the American Shipbuilding Com-
pany for early delivery in 1907. The sixth
order went to the Great Lakes Engineering
Works, of Detroit. The orders for the new
skips were all placed by Cleveland parties.
The carrying rapacity of the new ships will
range from 1^,000 to 12,000 gross tons. Up-
ward of 25,000 tons of material will be used
in the construction of the new ships. The
largesl order was placed by the Pittsburg
Steamship Company, which is the Lak<
of the United Stairs Steel Trust. President
Coulby of the steamship company closed con-
tracts for four steamers to have a carrying ca-
pacity of [2,OO0 tons, to cost $455,000 each.
Three of the steamers will be built by the
American Shipbuilding Company and the con-
tract for the fourth boat went to the Great
Lakes Engineering Works.
The new ships will be duplicates of the
steamers Morgan, Rogers, Realm and Widen
er, which President Coulby ordered last year,
and of which the Morgan is the only one
that has gone into commission. They will be
600 feet over all, 580 feet keel, 58 feet beam,
and 32 feet deep. They will have thirty-
six hatches, spaced 12-foot centers. The new-
steamers will have triple expansion engines
with cylinders 24, 30 and 65 inches, with 42-
inch stroke. Two Scotch boilers 15 feet 4
inches in diameter, and 1 1 1 2 feet ]png will
furnish the steam. The boilers, which will
be allowed [80 pounds pressure, will be fitted
with the Ellis & Eaves draft.
The construction and fit-out of the new
boats will be the same as the four big steam-
ers that were ordered for this year's delivery.
The next contract according to tonnage was
placed by Pickand, Mather & Company. The
local firm placed an order with Mr. Wallace
for a steamer to be 552 feet over all, 532 feet
keel, 58 feet beam and 31 feet deep. She will
carry about 11.000 tons, and will cost $415,-
000. She will have triple expansion engines
with cylinders 23, 38 and 63 inches, with 42-
inch stroke. She will have two Scatch boil-
ers 14 1-2 feet in diameter and II 1-2 feet
long. They will be fitted with the Ellis &
Eaves draft, and will be allowed [80 pounds
-nre.
Charles ( ). Jenkins, who operates a num- ,
her of steel hoats. placed the sixth order, which
calls for a 9,000-ton steamer. This ship will
be a duplicate of the steamer Charles S. Heb-
ard of the Wilson fleet, which came out this
season. The Jenkins boat will be 524 feet
over all. 504 feet keel. 54 feet beam and 30
feel deep. She will have triple expansion en-
gines, the cylinders of which will be 23 1-2,
38 and 63 inches, with 42-inch stroke. Her
boilers will be of the Scotch type and will
be 14 1-2 feet in diameter and u 1-2 feet
long.
The steamer that the Great Lakes Engineer-
ing Works will build for the Pittsburg Steam-
ship Company will be turned out at the Ecorse
plant, but ! 'resident Wallace has not decided
where the keels for the five steamers that
cured orders for will be laid. All the
boats that the American Shipbuilding Com-
pany build for the Pittsburg Steamship Com-
pany will be turned out at the South Chicago
yard and that plant will probably get some
of the business.
The American Shipbuilding Company now
has orders for seventeen freight steamers and
a big side-wheel passenger steamer for the 1).
& C. line for delivery tiiis fall and next spring.
Most of the new boats will come out until
Tin eighteen ships will cost about $8,-
10. The passenger steamer will cost
more' than any Other ship that was ever built
on the Lakes. Six of the steamers that the
company has under contract are of the 600-
foot class, and the smallest boats will carry
7,500 tons.
LARGEST STEEL PLANT.
The United States Steel Trust's proposed
establishment at Gary, Ind., of what will be the
world's greatest steel plant is a development
considered of much importance to the Me-
nominee and Marquette iron ranges.
( (bviously, it is pointed out, they being much
the nearest sources of ore supply, the two fields
will be called upon to furnish a greater ton-
nage of raw material than were the big com-
pany to confine its operations to its present
manufacturing centers. This increase in al-
lotment is estimated at several millions of tons
annually, and the great bulk of it doubtless
will be forwarded from Kscanaba, the only ore
shipping port on Lake Michigan, at the foot
of which the proposed great steel center is
to be located.
A comparison of distances from the various
ore shipping ports of the Lake Superior region
shows that on shipments from Escanaba a
haul of approximately 1000 miles would be
saved. This means that, with the Gary works
in commission, much of the Steel Trust ore
now forwarded from Marquette would be di-
verted to Kscanaba and shipped from that
port, the tonnage retained by the old route be-
ing that consigned to Lake Erie.
Escanaba is already one of the largest ore
shipping ports on the Lakes — it ranking third
last season, being exceeded by only Duluth and
Two Harbors — but even now it is prepared to
handle a considerably larger tonnage.
REGARDING BAGGAGE.
Delegate Scanlon, of the Detroit Agency,
requests that all members take note of the
following facts regarding baggage and mail:
The- Express Companies refuse to accept
for shipment any outgoing baggage unless the
charges are prepaid, and refuse to deliver any
baggage to boats unless the charges are pre-
paid. There- fore, if you are sending your bag-
to your boat, via Detroit, or having it
put off at Detroit to be shipped to you, you
should prepay the charges. Otherwise, you
will not gel it.
Demand the union label on all products!
STILL MORE ORDERS.
Three more bulk freighters were ordered on
July to. The Great Lakes Engineering
Works, of Detroit, Mich., secured the order,
making six vessels which that firm has con-
tracted to turn out before the next opening of
navigation. The three new vessels will cost
$1,185,000. Thus the total of two days'
business by this firm is more than $3,750,000.
The vessels were ordered for parties that
are interested in the steel trade and have their
own ore mines in the Lake Superior district.
The largest of the steamers will be built
to the order of William P. Snyder, the well-
known iron man of Pittsburg. She will have
a carrying capacitj of about 11,000 tons, and
her dimensions will be different from any
of the boats that have been built recently. She
will be 574 feet over all, 554 feet keel, 58
beam and 32 feet dee]). She will have triple
expansion engines, the cylinders of which will
be 24, 39 and 65 inches, with 42-inch stroke.
Her boilers will be of the Scotch type and will
he 11. feet in diameter and 12 feet long. They
will be allowed 170 pounds pressure. The
Snyder boat will cost $450,000.
Pickand, Mather & Company closed with
the Detroit firm a steamer to be' a duplicate
of the boat they ordered from the American
Shipbuilding Company. She will be 552 feet
over all, 532 feet keel, fifty-eight feet beam
and thirty-one feet deep. She will have triple
expansion engines with cylinders 2.\, y-j and
65 inches with 42-inch stroke. Steam will be
furnished by two Scotch boilers, 16 feet in
diameter and 12 feet long, to be allowed 170
pounds pressure. This ship will cost $435,000.
The order for the third steamer was placed
by Pennsylvania furnace interests. This boat
will have a carrying capacity of about 7,500
tons and will cost $300,000. She will be 440
feet over all, 420 feet keel, 52 feet beam and
2<S feet deep. She will have triple expan-
sion engines and Scotch boilers. The new
boats will be built at the Ecorse yard.
Ample proof of the efficacy of the hand fire
extinguishers required on Lake vessels by the
recent regulations was given at Trenton re-
cently. Flames broke out in the casino on
the dock at Trenton, while the little ferry
steamer Monguagon was lying alongside the
dock. The fire extinguisher on board was
quickly placed in operation and the conflagra-
tion was quenched in short order. The cap-
tain made' a visit to the Detroit Inspectors to
tell them what a good thing the new ruling
had proved.
An appropriation of $50,000 for a new light-
arid fog signal at the Rock of Ages,
Kcllar's district, has been made. One appro-
priation of $25,000 for surveying and prelimi-
nary work bad already been made. Before
the job i- completed it will probably cost $100,-
000, the maximum amount allowed under the
Act of Congress.
For lights on the Pierhead range at Holland
on the east shore of Lake Michigan an appro-
priation of $6,000 has been made and $50,000
has been appropriated for a lighthouse and
fog signal at the entrance of the refuge harbor
at Milwaukee.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
TO IMPROVE BUFFALO HARBOR.
Plan C. for the Buffalo River and Cazenovia
Creek improvement has been approved by
the Board of Councilmen. Plan C. is a cross
between plan A and B, the Commissioner of
Public Works said, in explaining it to the
Councilmen, with his approval.
It provides for widening, straightening, en-
larging,clearing from obstructions, dredging,
deepening, dyking and embanking Buffalo
River and Cazenovia Creek for the purpose of
altering their courses, for the construction of
new channels for them and for putting the
Buffalo River in a navigable condition within
the city limits of Buffalo.
The work is divided into four sections as
follows :
Section i. — Outlet drainage channel from
Buffalo River to Lake Erie.
Section 2. — Buffalo River from the south
line of lot 65, Indian reservation, to its junc-
tion with Cazenovia Creek.
Section 3. — Buffalo River from its junction
with Cazenovia Creek to the easterly city line.
Section 4. — Cazenovia Creek from its junc-
tion with Buffalo River to Cazenovia street.
Plan C will make the new channel about
one mile longer than the present one, but the
additional expense incurred that way will be
offset by the expense that will be escaped in
avoiding the plan which threatened to bring
trouble and lengthy proceedings from the own-'
ers of some of the adjacent property.
MARINE ITEMS.
An appropriation of $20,000 has been made
for range lights off the Superior pierhead in
Lake Superior, near Duluth.
Temporary lights have been put in every
spring on the Peche Island range. They are
placed on clusters of piles in Lake St. Clair.
Every winter they were carried away by the
ice and it cost fully $1,000 each spring to re-
place them. The new lights will be put on
a solid foundation of cribbing and will be per-
manent.
The steamer Mecosta bears the distinction
of taking the first cargo of iron ore from the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul company's
new ore dock at Escanaba, Mich., which was
completed recently at a cost of $1,000,000.
The new dock was placed in commission on
July 20, and shipments from this point by the
Milwaukee will be doubled.
An appropriation of $18,000 for two range
lights on Peche Island is included in the list
of amounts which the last Congress voted to
apply to the improvement of the lighthouse
service on the Great Lakes. The appropria-
tions were made in the Sundry Civil bill and
the Deficiency bill passed by Congress on June
30-
There are 7,409 millionaries living in the
Kingdom of Prussia, according to the recent
taxation figures; but they are millionaries in
marks (23.8 cents each), not dollars. There
are 23 persons each with over thirty million
marks, 24 possessing twenty to thirty millions,
and 146 with ten to twenty millions.
United States Consul Metcalf, of Newcastle-
on Tyne, Eng., furnishes a paragraph from a
P.ritish shipping periodical, which states that
the British India Steam Navigation Company
has distributed orders among Clyde, Belfast
and Sunderland shipbuilders for 20 steamers.
Commenting upon this order the Newcastle
Journal says :
It is seldom that such large contracts are
given out by one company, but the British India
Company recognizes that the life of a modern
ship is short, and that a shipping company
which would keep in the front rank must renew
its fleet at comparatively brief intervals. The
orders now placed indicate in an unmistak-
able way how thoroughly and on how large a
scale this company means to maintain its ileet
in the most modern and efficient state.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
AUSTRALIAN NOTES.
( For the Coast Seamen's Journal.)
Something out of the common has just
taken place here in connection with politics.
Two prominent politicians have tendered their
resignations. It appears that one, John Nor-
ton, the member representing Surry Hills, ac-
d W. A. Jlolman, a Labor member, of
shady transactions. Holman denied the same.
This did not satisfy Norton, who challenged
the Lahor man to resign, declaring he would
do the same, so that the matter in dispute
could be fought out in Cootamundra before
the electors.
The general opinion is that this old game
of bluff on the part of Norton is about played
out. He did not expect that his hand would
be called. The only trouble now is that it
will not be a clear-cut issue between the two
Al. l'.'.s, as several other candidates are in
the field, but the sympathy, even of Labor's
enemies, is with the Labor man.
The election takes place on July 28. at Coot-
amundra, and the result will be known here
on the :7.9th. Just to give the readers of the
JOURNAL an idea of the calibre of the two in-
dividuals, the Commodore's opinions are as
follows: "\Y. A. Holman, Labor M. I'., is a
practical cabinet-maker, a young man and a
first-rate orator, having a splendid grasp of
imics. He entered politics twelve or four-
teen years ago and has stood the test and kept
his campaign pledges to the letter, in the cause
of labor. A few years ago he took a notion
of studying for the bar, and the result is that
at present he is a barrister, with a fair amount
of practice. As a man he is respected by all
classes in and out of Parliament. To prove
this, here is an expression of the President
of the Reform League, which is an organiza-
tion absolutely opposed to the Labor party in
politics: "That, as Mr. Holman is seeking to
vindicate his honor as a public man and to an-
swer before his constituents charges of cor-
ruption which have been laid against him, and
under these circumstances the Council are of
the opinion that they should not interfere ; but,
at the same time, that the Council's action
should not be understood that they agreed with
W. A. Holman or his socialistic friends, and
that they would oppose him at any other
time as they were anti-socialists.
John Norton is an able man, as far as edu-
cation goes, a journalist, editor and conductor
of the Sunday paper, Truth. That paper is
about the most up-to-date example of gutter
journalism that it is possible to conceive of.
At one time he was mixed up with the Trades
Hall people, but as he could not make use of
them he dropped away and now he is on the
side of John Norton, first, last and all the
time.
The Commodore can say without fear of
contradiction that the Labor opponent has had
narrow squeaks of being sent to prison
than the average common crook, but somehow
or other he happened to bluff the police courts,
as 1 think that there is a certain amount of
fear of being ridiculed in the columns of
Truth. There is also another point in Norton's
game, and that is that he is ambitious for a
seat in the Senate and first wishes to advertise
himself.
There is more trouble in the mining districts
as the wheelers in the mines are on strike, so
that the miners cannot work. The wheelers,
who are mostly boys, demand an increase of
pay, and the mine-owners have refused. The
mines are laid idle, and, as the Arbitration
Act has been torn to pieces by the present
Government and its satclites in power, the
workers at present don't know where they
are at.
There is a certain amount of friction among
the workers in the tobacco industry here. One
of the largest factories requires the men to
teach young women the work, which they ab-
solutely refuse to do, with the result that there
has been a cessation of work. The manage-
ment and the workers have held several con-
ferences, and after arriving at a decision, the
Tobacco Trust went back on its agreement,
and the consequence is that no one can rely
on it now, and things are all in a heap.
The new agreement between the local ship-
ping companies is now in working order be-
tween the seamen and shipowners, who con-
ferred together and one other firm has since
signified its intention of falling into line. So
that now there are four companies giving the
conditions as agreed upon. I believe that in
a very short period the other two or three ship-
ping companies will come to the same decision.
Our State Parliament has just met again,
after a recess of about six months, on full
pay, and at present is at it, hammer and tongs,
on the Land scandal. The chief of the boodlers
is now on his way to Australia, having been
extradicted from South Africa. The question
is. will the Government be able to sheet home
the charge? Or, are there too many implicat-
ed in the matter, more especially friends at
court, or in the same boat?
( hir Premier is now having a jaunt around
the country looking for a good site to estab-
lish a home for consumptives, and has select-
ed a place called Y\Taterfall. No doubt it is
a very humane work, but it seems that it would
be the better course to see that the masses
are belter housed, and so prevent consumption
or other diseases whereever possible.
Tenders have been accepted for the con-
struction of dwellings for the workers, to be
erected close to the water-front at a place
named Miller's Point. The powers that be
have chosen a hole in which to build, with a
very large shipping store opposite, so that res-
idents will have a splendid opportunity of
counting the bricks in the opposite wall, and
will be able to have a fair idea of learning how
many bricks go to the mile. Put they will
have to stay inside if there is any wind, as
there is so much dust living at times that it
is not a bad place to go when you require to
create a splendid thirst, and you are not too
particular as to how much grit or dust you may
happen to swallow. To place the finishing
touch on all, the charge, 1 am given to under-
stand, will be 16 shillings per week. How, in
the name of Columbus, is the average worker
going to pay that amount? Just fancy $4 for
rent, and the average wage rate is about ten
dollars per week ! The houses are to be of
four rooms and a kitchen, with a frontage of
about twelve to fifteen feet. And still the
Government cries out for people to come to
this country. What can it give as an induce-
tiK nt ? ! L-avy rents and poor pay for all work-
ers !
The only chance for a worker here at present
_■" rabbit-trapping, as persons following
that work at present are doing fairly well.
But at present the landowners want to poison
or inoculate the rabbits with germs of any kind
of disease, so that they can be exterminated.
The rabbit, which was at one time considered
a pest, has now become an industry.
The New South Wales financial year closed
on June 1. The revenue for this State was
£12,267,532, or about $61,327,660. Irrigation

is still in the air, where it is likely to remain,
instead of on the land. News has been ob-
tained here that there are floods in the interior,
and the water is running to the sea by way of
the river Murray, and yet the farmer votes
into power the fellow who controls his land.
If it were a flood of whisky there would be a
means adopted to save it, if it were only by the
Custom officials.
The Federal elections will be in full swing
in a few months, and no doubt some fine work
will be got in by both parties.

FATALITIES IN COAL MINES.
While the output and the number of em-
ployes of coal mines in Great Britain has stead-
ily increased, the number of fatalities in mines
has remained almost stationary and the num-
ber per 1,000 of employes has greatly de-
creased. Statistics covering thirty-threeyears
are published. In the ten years period 1873-
1882, the average number of mine employees
yearly was 503,428; average number of tons
of coal annually raised, 138,086,800; average
yearly number of deaths from accident, 1,129.
Death rate per 1,000 employed, 2.24; per mil-
lion tons raised, 7.42. In 1905 the number of
employes was 858,373; tons raised, 236,111,-
150; death rate per 1,000, 1.35; per million
tons, 4.64. In the country as a whole there
was a slight increase of the death rate per 1,000
and per million tons in 1905 as compared with
1904, but in this district both decreased. Ex-
traordinary accidents in other parts of the
country accounted for the general increase.
The decrease in mine fatalities is due to im-
proved methods of mining and greater atten-
tion to the welfare of employes. In one dis-
trict, it is reported, no girls or women are
employed at the mines, though in the country
generally nearly 6,000 are thus engaged —
none underground, however.
LABOR TROUBLES IN FRANCE.
The labor conflict in France still continues.
The workmen declare that they are determined
to struggle until the employers capitulate,
while the employers, apparently equally deter-
mined, declare they will not make any conces-
sions. Some of the French industries are very
much demoralized.
The labor agitations in recent years are said
to have had an important effect in leading to
a "concentration of industries." In 1896 there
were 2,344,471 independent establishments in
France ; in 1901 the total number of such
establishments was 2,245,356, a diminution in
five years of nearly 100,000 establishments.
The number now is said to be very much
smaller. The small establishments are re-
ported to have been the ones which have
largely gone out of business. During the
period of 1896 to 1901 no less than 102,355
small firms disappeared, while establishments
employing from 21 to 100 workmen increased
by 2,535, and the number of large firms, em-
ploying more than 100 workmen each, in-
creased from 3,918 in 1896 to 4,623 in 1901.
The present agitation, with a demand for
shorter hours and increased wages, is said to
have added greatly to this concentration of
business in certain lines to the large firms.
The new port of Varna, Bulgaria, which has
been under construction for eight years, was
opened with impressive ceremonies on May 3 1 .
TO PROTECT FISHERIES.
To attract the attention of the people of
Western Washington more specifically to the
importance and perpetuity of the salmon as a
great food fish, and as the life of a great in-
dustry is at stake, the fishermen of the Pacific
Coast are strenuously engaged in a campaign
which has this end in view. Ed Rosenberg,
Secretary of the Fishermen, recently succeed-
ed in having a resolution pass the Central La-
bor Council of Bellingham, Wash., which goes
into the fishing situation in detail and asks
the support of the people, through their rep-
resentatives in the Legislature to aid the
fishermen in their fight for what they deem
better conditions. The resolution is as fol-
lows :
Bellingham, July 12, 1906.
Whereas, The salmon fisheries of Puget
Sound employ yearly over 10,000 fishermen
and cannery workers; and,
Whereas, The city of Bellingham is the prin-
cipal seat of the salmon industry, now unfor-
tunately threatened by extinction through the
criminal greed of powerful corporations who
believe that laws for the protection of this in-
dustry need not be obeyed by them, depending
on the intimidation or corruption of courts
and juries to free them when caught violating
the laws ; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Bellingham Central Labor
Council, in regular session assembled, July 12,
1906, that the delegates hereby indorse the
following statement and urge its careful peru-
sal by all citizens, so that in our great State
aroused public sentiment, backed by the courts
of the State, will send to jail the thieves of
our natural resources, as the courts of Ore-
gon are doing with the land thieves of that
State.
No finer fish than the sockeye salmon of
our waters is caught anywhere. For many
decades this fish has given a good living and
fair fortunes to many who were engaged in
catching and selling it. Capital was readily
attracted by the profits to be gained in this
industry. Some of the largest salmon can-
neries in the world now dot the shores of Pu-
get Sound. In 1901 the value of the canned
sockeye salmon exceeded the value of the great
timber output of our State ; also exceeded the
value of our wheat crop. But in this indus-
try, as in many others, the quick profits to
be gained blunted the moral sense of many
men, and every device that human ingenuity
could invent was employed to catch every fish
that came into our waters.
As the farmer must save a portion of each
year's crop for seed or have his farm lay fal-
low the next year, so a certain amount of fish
must be permitted to reach the natural spawn-
ing grounds and hatcheries to insure the re-
turn of the fish in the future. Our salmon,
when allowed to reach the spawning grounds,
spawn and die, the young returning from the
ocean in four years full-grown salmon. The
sockeye salmon almost exclusively spawn in
the headwaters of the Fraser. The Canadian
authorities soon realized the need of protec-
tive legislation and some fifteen years ago en-
acted a weekly closed season of thirty-six
hours. And this law was also enforced. But
the fish traps on Puget Sound multiplied like
flies in July and the clamors and wiles of greed
prevented the Washington Legislature from
the enactment of like and wise legislation.
In the meantime the sockeye and other sal-
mon of Puget Sound decreased more and more,
small companies and individual fishermen who
could not manipulate the wires of frenzied
finance having a very hard time to make a
living. At this stage the companies and men
mainly responsible for the lack of protective
legislation, then sprung on the Washington
Legislature a scheme to close the sockeye fish-
ing entirely for 1906 and 1908 and stop fish-
ing during the other years for thirty-six hours
every week, claiming that such a measure was
absolutely needed to save the sockeye. But
as people are naturally suspicious when the
devil quotes scripture, even a cursory exam-
ination of this measure introduced by Senator
Earles showed up the big nigger in the wood-
pile. To close entirely for two years would,
have ruined the smaller companies and the in-
dividual fishermen, leaving the field in the fu-
ture free to the large companies and to traps.
The thirty-six hours weekly closing clause in
that bill was pure, unadulterated fraud, no
provision being made as to what traps and
other stationary gear should do to stop fishing
during the closed season. Thus a trapman
could have suspended a pencil in front of the
tunnel during the closed season and claim that
this scared the salmon away. And unless some
one was quick enough to dive after a salmon
entering the tunnel (the tunnel leads to the pot
that impounds the salmon) and catch it by
the tail and present it as evidence in court,
no judge or jury would convict the law-
breakers.
For over six weeks every pressure in the
power and command of rich corporations was
brought to bear on the State legislators to
have this bill passed. It did pass the Senate,
but failed in the House.
In the meantime the fishermen who fought
this measure because it would ruin them, had a
bona-fide weekly closing law introduced, passed
by both houses and signed by the Governor,
the fishermen fully realizing that the salmon
needed protection, also knowing that such a
weekly closing would not only save the salmon,
but give the fishermen of this and other gen-
erations a chance to follow their calling.
Events that have occurred since this action
of the Legislature of 1906 fully demonstrate
that the large stockholding corporations did
not care a fig for the continuance of the salmon
industry, and that the Earles bill was a brazen
jobbery that was tried to be forced upon the
Legislature. The men who were strongest and
loudest for the Earles bill were the first to
violate the thirty-six-hour closing law, being
aided in this by ex-Fish Commissioner Ker-
shaw. This was fully shown up
in the trials in the courts of
Kings county. Now this year, when the
present Fish Commissioner is using the powers
of his office to have the closing law enforced
some of the large companies arc trying to re-
peat the practices of 1905. The penalty for
violation of this law is a fine of fifty to one
thousand dollars or imprisonment of thirty
daws to one year, or both such fine and impris-
onment.
Desirous of aiding in every possible legiti-
mate way the fishermen in their fight for the
Ci mtinuance of our salmon industry, be it fur-
ther
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
and statement be sent to the Governor, the
Attorney-General and the Fish Commission-
er, and be given to the press, ii being tlie hope
of tin delegates to this central labor body that
these officers and the courts, backed by public
opinion, will be able to put a stop to criminal
1 that is destroying one ..1 our greal in-
dustries. I J. W. SMITH, President.

The Sydney (New South Wales)
Shop Assistants' Union has filed an
application with the Arbitration Reg-
istrar for reference of a dispute to
the Arbitration Court, in which it
claims increased rates of pay and bet-
ter conditions of labor. The bosses
are deliberating to see in whal way
they can block the employes from
bringing the ease before the Arbitra
tion Court.
The figures for 1905 show that since
1901 the number of "central" unions
in Austria has increased from 32 to 47.
and the number of "local" unions from
1273 to 2964. On the other hand the
"district" unions show a decrease from
266 to 100. The total number of or
ganizations has therefore increa >< I
from 1571 in 1901 to 3111 in 1905
During the same period the total
membership has risen from 119,050 to
323,099.
The New Zealand Arbitration Court
has awarded the Auckland Hairdres-
sers' Assistants' Union the following
overtime, double time rates; and pre-
ference to unionists. Subletting of
chairs is prohibited.
The number of labor disputes which
occurred in Germany during 1905
showed a marked increase on the pre-
ceding year, and reached a higher
P"int than in any year since 1899,
when the statistics were first compile 1
by the Imperial Statistical Office. The
number of disputes which came |.
end during the year was 2657, of
which 2403 were strikes and 254 lock-
outs, as compared with 1990 in 1904,
U-14 in 1903, uo6 in 1902 and 1091
in [901. Thus the increase in 1905
as compared with 1904 was 667, or 33 5
per cent.

Newcastle (New South Wales) Wharf

the Legislature had failed to give the
Arbitration Court the necessary

seriously hampered.
Between 700 and 800 men crushed
and fought each other to get into the
C. S. R. Co.'s premises in Sydney,
Xew South Wales, in answer to an
advertisement for cane-cutters to go
to Queensland. The struggle is said
to have been something akin to a
riot, and the police were employed to
keep the men back. Three hundred
of them were engaged, and others are
to be taken on. Commenting cm this
the Mackay Pioneer says: "There are
more men in the sugar districts than
can find work now, and the dragging
in of hundreds more is a savage at-
tempt to force down the while slave
to a lower standard."
In order to block the New South
Wales Laundry Fmployes' Union
from proceeding in the Arbitration
Court for better wages and condi-
tions, the bosses' association alleges
that "there is no unrest in the laundry
industry." In answer to this the sec-
retary of the employes' union writes
to the Sydney press, slating that girls
are worked to o, to, and 11 at night,
and, in one instance, on a Sunday, for
wages as low as 6s. per week; and
that there are girls working for some
of the respectable and large laundries
who do not get sufficient money to
keep body and sun' 1 , and in
man v instances have to live on bread
and dripping 01 treacle from one
week's end to the other.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Several hundred car repairers on
the Southern Pacific Company struck
at New < Orleans, La., on July 24, for
a recognition of their union.
A strike is threatened by the freight
conductors on the Southern Pacific
Railroad at San Francisco and vicin-
ity. The conductors demand improve-
ments in the hours of labor and
method of computing overtime.
The conference of miners and op-
erators of the Fifth Ohio sub-district,
which includes Belmont, Harrison
and Jefferson counties, in Ohio, and
the four West Virginia panhandle
counties has reached an agreement,
ending the long-drawn-out strike of
four months, in which 8000 miners
were involved.
The first prosecutions in the Dis-
trict of Columbia for violation of the
National Eight-Hour law on Govern-
ment work was begun at Washing-
tun, I). C, on July 27, when United
States Attorney Baker filed in the Po-
lice Court three informations against
the Penn Bridge Company, a corpot
11 of Pennsylvania, and two
against the District Construction
Company of the District of Columbia.
New indictments were returned on
July 25 by the Grand Jury of Chicago.
J 11., against Cornelius P. Shea, Pres
ident of the International Brother
hood of Teamsters, and forty-two
other labor leaders and officials, thir-
ty one of whom were indicted tit the
same time as Shea one year ago. Con-
spiracy to injure the trade of a num-
ber of the largest business houses
in the city, as well as that of all the
express companies, is charged.
Peonage in a vicious form is
charged against the officers of the
Jackson Lumber Company at Lock-
hardt, Ala. If the allegations are true
about 100 immigrants, mostly Ger
mans, are held in the lumber camps
of that company virtually as slaves.
A party of Germans reached Pensa
cola on July 25 from the camps,
stating that they had escaped. Thev
went to the German Vice-Consul for
protection and told him a tale of ill-
treatment and cruelty that has hardly
a parallel in the South.
Acting Secretary of the Navy
Newberry recently received a delega-
tion of workingmen from the Wash-
ington Navy Yard, who protested
against putting in effect the premium
or piece system in the gun factory
They said they represented practical-
ly all the men in the yard, who were
opposed to any change. Only three
or four men had advocated the pre-
mium system. Owing to this repre-
sentation, Acting Secretary Newberry
has deferred action, and no attempt
will be made to introduce any change
while it meets with so much opposi-
tion.
J. T. Lavery of Salt Lake City,
Utah, President and member of the
cutive Committee of the State
Federation of Labor, has received
from the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Assembly, of Butte, Mont., a
copy of "an appeal to every central
labor body in the United States to set
apart Sunday, August 5, next, for a
general, united and direct demand" on
Judge Frank J. Smith, of Caldwell,
Idaho, to either gives Charles H.
Moyer, William D. Haywood and
George A. Pettibone an immediate
trial or to admit them to bail pending
their trial for the murder of former
Governor Frank Steuncnberg. Every
labor body in the country is urged
to adopt resolutions addressed to Dis-
trict Judge Smith.

rpO ALL ORGANIZED LABOR and Friends
■*■ in the United States:
Dear Sirs and Rrothers: Events in the indus-
trial affairs of our people have rapidly changed
and are rapidly changing. The trade-union
movement, as expressed by the American Feder-
ation of Labor, has kept and proposes to keep
pace therewith.
The wheels of industry cannot be halted or
turned back, nor should they be, even if that
were possible. Welcoming industrial progress,
labor must be ever alert to meet new conditions,
recognizing that eternal vigilance is the price of
industrial as well as political liberty.
The working people cannot hope to maintain
their rights or a progressive position in the vary-
ing phases of modern society unless they organ-
ize and exercise all those functions which, as
workmen and citizens, it is their privilege and
their duty to exercise.
Labor makes no demand upon government or
society which is not equally accorded to all the
people of our country. It can and will be satis-
fied with nothing less.
The position of organized labor upon the ques-
tion of political action by the working class, their
friends and sympathizers, has often been de-
clared, but was more clearly set forth in the fol-
lowing declaration, unanimously adopted by the
Nashville Convention of the American Federa-
tion of Labor, in 1807, and often reaffirmed
since:
"Resolved, That the American Federation of
Labor most firmly and unequivocally favors the
independent use of the ballot by the fade union-
ists and workmen, united regardless of party,
that we may elect men from our own ranks to
make new laws and administer them along the
lines laid down in the legislative demands of the
American Federation of Labor, and at the same
time secure an impartial judiciary that will not
govern us by arbitrary injunctions of the courts,
nor act as the pliant tools of corporate wealth.
"Resolved, That as our efforts are centered
against all forms of industrial slavery and eco-
nomic wrong, we must also direct our utmost
energies to remove all forms of political servi-
tude' and party slavery, to the end that the
working people may act as a unit at the polls
at every election."
We have been ever watchful to carry the pur-
poses of that declaration into effect. At times
we met with partial success, yet, within the past
few years claims and promises made in platforms
or on the hustings by political parties and poli-
ticians and especially by the present dominant
party have been neither justified nor performed.
Little attention has been paid to the enactment
of laws prepared by us and presented to Con-
gress for the relief of those wrongs and the at-
tainment of those rights to which labor and the
common people are justly entitled and which are
essentially necessary for their welfare
Several Presidents of the United States have,
in their messages to Congress, urged the passage
of equitable legislation in behalf of the working
people, but Congress has been entirely pre-
occupied looking after the interests of vast cor-
porations and predatory wealth. . n. .
Congressmen and Senators in their frenzied
rush after the almighty dollar have been indif-
ferent or hostile to the rights of man They
have had no time and as little inclination to sup-
port the reasonable labor measures, the enact-
ment of which we have urged, and which con-
tained beneficent features for all our people with-
out an obnoxious provision to any one.
Patience ceased to be a virtue, and on March
21, 1906, the representatives of labor presented
a Bill of Grievances to the President and those
responsible for legislation or the failure of legis-
lation in Congress, reciting the failure or refusal
of the party in power to adopt or enforce legis-
lation in the interests of the toiling millions of
our country. After setting forth labor's griev-
ances and requests and urging early action, we
closed that now famous document with this
statement:
"But if perchance you may not heed us, we
shall appeal to the conscience and support of
our fellow-citizens."
The relief asked for has not been granted.
Congress has turned a deaf ear to the voices of
the masses of our people; and, true to our dec-
laration, we now appeal to the working people,
aye, to all the American people unitedly to dem-
onstrate their determination that this Republic
of ours shall continue to be of, for and by the
people, rather than of, for and by the almighty
dollar.
The toiling masses of our country are as much,
if not more, interested in good government than
our fellow-citizens in other walks of life. In
line with the contention herein stated, the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor made its declaration
of political policy as already quoted above. And
in line therewith we hope, and have the right to
expect, to arouse the citizenship of our common
country, interested in good government, to the
apathy or hostility of the party in power to the
real interests of the people, so that men more
honest, faithful and progressive may be elected
as the people's representatives.
Attention is called not only to Congressional
and legislative indifference and hostility to the
interests of labor, but also to the interests
of the large mass of all our people. The
press for months has been burdened with ex-
posures of the corruption and graft in high cir-
cles. The great insurance companies, the trusts,
the corporations, the so-called captains of indus-
try, have indeed become the owners of the leg-
islators of our country. Public officials, many of
whom have the cry of "stop thief 1" nearest the
tip of the tongue, have been eelctcd through
these very agencies and the contributions from
them. . . . ,
[f it has come to a condition in this, the great-
est and wealthiest nation on earth, that the al-
mighty dollar is to be worshipped to an extent
of forgetting principle, conscience, uprightness
and justice, the time has arrived for labor and
its friends to raise their voices in condemnation
of such degeneracy, and to invite all reform
forces to join with it in relegating indifference
to the people's interests, corruption and graft to
political oblivion; to raise the standard of legis-
lation by the election of sincere, progressive and
honest men who, while worshipping money less,
will honor conscience, justice and humanity
more. , , , 11 1
We recommend that central bodies and local
unions proceed without delay by the election of
delegates to meet in conference, or convention,
to formulate plans to further the interests of
this movement, and in accordance with the plan
herein outlined at the proper time and in the
proper manner nominate candidates who will
unquestionably stand for the enactment into law
of labor and progressive measures.
The first concern of all should be the positive
defeat of those who have been hostile or indif-
ferent to the just demands of labor. A stinging
rebuke to them will benefit not only the toilers
but the people of the entire country.
Wherever both parties ignore labor's legisla-
tive demands a straight labor candidate should
be nominated, so that honest men may have the
opportunity in exercising their franchise to vote
according to their conscience instead of being
compelled either to refrain from voting or to
vote for the candidate and the party they must
in their innermost souls despise.
Where a Congressman or State Legislator has
proven himself a true friend to the rights of
labor he should be supported and no candidate
nominated against him.
This movement must not degenerate into a
scramble for office. It should be a determined
effort, free, absolutely, from partisanship of
every name and character, to secure the legisla-
tion we deem necessary and essential to the wel-
fare and happiness of all our people. As tin-
present objects of this movement are purely in
the line of legislation, all efforts should be con-
centrated upon the election of members of Con-
gress and the various State Legislatures
To make this — our movement — the mosl effec-
tive the utmost care should be taken to nomi-
nate only such union men whose known intelli-
gence, honesty and faithfulness are conspicuous.
They should be nominated as straight labor rep-
resentatives and stand and be supported as such
by union men and their friends and sympathizers,
irrespective of previous political affiliation.
Wherever it is apparent that an entirely inde-
pendent labor candidate cannot be elected, ef-
forts should be made to secure such support by
indorsement of candidates by the minority party
in the districts and by such other progressive
elements as will insure the election of labor rep
resentatives.
All observers agree that the campaign of our
fellow-workmen of Great Britain has had a
wholesome effect upon the government, as well
as the interests of its wage-earners, and the peo-
ple generally of that country In the last British
elections fifty-four trade unionists were elected
to Parliament. If the British workmen, with
their limited franchise, accomplished so much by
their united action, what may we in Hie United
States not do with universal suffrage?

and work necessary to this campaign, the Exec-

Whatever vantage ground or improved condi-
tions have come to the workers of our country-

they are the result of their better organization
and their higher intelligence; of the sacrifices
they have made and the industrial battle-scars
of many contests. The progress of the toilers
lias not been due to kindness or consideration at
the hands of the powers that be, but achieved in
spite of the combined bitter hostility of menda-
cious greed, corporate corruption, legislative an-
tagonism and judicial usurpation.
Labor men of America, assert your rights! and
in addition to strengthening your faith and loy-
alty to your organization on the economic field,
exercise your full rights of citizenship in the use
of your ballot. Elect honest men to Congress
and to other halls of legislation, and by so doing
you will more completely and fully carry out
your obligations as union men, and more than
ever merit the respect of your fellow-citizens.
Labor demands a distinctive and larger share
in the governmental affairs of our country; it
demands justice; it will be satisfied with nothing
less. Fraternally yours,

This cause coming on to be heard upon the
complaint of the plaintiff and motion for a tem-
porary restraining order pending a hearing there-
of upon notice and for a permanent injunction in
connection therewith upon such hearing, and it
appearing from the complaint that the relief de-
manded consists in the restraining of the com-
mission or continuance of acts during the liti-
gation, which if allowed to be committed or con-
tinued would produce great injury to the plain-
tiff, and it further appearing that the defendants
arc doing, threatening to do, and about to do
and are procuring and are suffering some act to
be done in violation of the plaintiff's rights in
respect to the subject matter of the action as
therein set out and that such matters should be
restrained pending a hearing upon this temporary
injunction.
Now. therefore, it is hereby ordered, adjudged
and decreed that upon the plaintiff filing in this
cause a bond in the sum of $1000 as by statute
required, with surety approved by the clerk of
this court, conditioned to pay all damages and
costs which may accrue by reason of the issu-
ance of such temporary injunction that the de-
fendants and each of them, together with their
agents, employes, members and sympathizers be
and the same are hereby restrained and enjoined
pending the hearing upon such injunction, which
injunction is hereby directed to be made return-
able to this court on the 16th day of July, 1906,
and that pending such hearing the said defend-
ants, their agents, employes, members and sym-
pathizers are hereby strictly enjoined, prohibited
and restrained from in any manner interfering
with, attempting to interfere with, placing ob-
structions in the way of, using vile epithets or
opprobrious names, or aiding, abetting or seek-
ing to procure the performance of any and all
of these aforesaid things towards the plaintiffs,
their employes and associates in the discharge
of the business of the said plaintiffs as set out
in the complaint in this action, to-wit, in the
loading and discharging of water vessels or in
their going to and from such employment and
that the said defendants and each of them, their
said agents, employes, members and sympathiz-
ers are hereby charged to refrain from the doing
or attempting to do any of the acts as herein-
before enumerated and they are notified that
upon failure to recognize and obey the terms of
this order they and each of them will be ad-
judged to be in contempt of this court and be
dealt with according to law.

L. Green, Members of Said Union, and
all Other Members of Said Longshore-
men's Union Local No. 2, Whose Names
are Unknown to Plaintiffs, Defendants.
Plaintiffs allege that they are a co-partnership
formed for the purpose of loading and unloading
ships at the different cities of Grays Harbor, and
were engaged in the pursuit of their said busi-
ness at the time they commenced this action, and
for some time prior thereto.
They also allege that about thirty days before
the suit was commenced a disagreement arose
between certain shipowners of the Pacific Coast
and the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, and that
the sailors located at Grays Harbor and belong-
ing to the Aberdeen branch of said union went
out on what is commonly known as a strike, and
refused to load or unload, or assist in- loading
or unloading certain vessels belonging to said
ship owners. Plaintiffs also allege that the
Longshoremen's Union of Aberdeen entered
upon a strike in sympathy with the sailors and
that the two unions and the individual members
thereof conspired together and entered into an
unlawful agreement for the purpose of monop-
olizing the business of loading and unloading
vessels on Grays Harbor, and preventing these
plaintiffs and all other persons not affiliated witlj
said unions from engaging in the business of
loading and unloading vessels; that by reason of
the acts and conduct of defendants toward plain-
tiffs and their employes they have been greatly
annoyed, hindered and delayed in the prosecu-
tion of their business and have been greatly
damaged thereby, and will continue to be so
damaged unless defendants are restrained and
enjoined from unlawfully interfering with them.
The defendants in their answers deny every-
thing alleged by plaintiffs except they admit
that the two unions are unions as alleged.
There is much conflict in the evidence in the
case, but after thoroughly considering all the evi-
dence it forces upon me the conviction that the
defendants have very unwarrantably interfered
with and hindered and delayed plaintiffs in the
prosecution of their business, and were continu-
ing so to do at the time this action was com-
menced, and the restraining order issued.
Plaintiff's witnesses testified with great partic-
ularity and exactness as to specific acts of vio-
lence committed by many of the defendants upon
the men employed by plaintiffs, and also as to
scurrilous and opprobrious epithets addressed to
plaintiff's workmen, and by threatening them in
intimidating language, on account of which con-
duct of defendants some of plaintiff's employes
actually quit work, and many others were de-
terred from entering the service of plaintiffs
at all.
The testimony of defendants was largely nega-
tive in character. It is true that any particular
defendant charged with any specific act of vio-
lence, using any opprobrious language or making
any threat, would deny that he had so done, but
the others who were present and could have
heard and seen what was said and done, would
merely state that if any such thing occurred they
did not hear or see it.
Unquestionably it is the right and privilege
of any man or body of men to refuse to work
for another, if there is no contract obligation to
the contrary. It is also the right of working men
to form unions, and no doubt much good is fre-
quently accomplished thereby, but unions have
no right, nor have the individual members there-
of any right to interfere in any way with others
in the lawful and peaceable pursuit of their busi-
ness. The joining of a union gives a man no
special legal right or privilege not enjoyed by
other persons, nor does it deprive him of any
legal rights or privileges. The legal rights of
non-union men and union men are exactly the
same, both must obey the law, and when either
of them illegally interferes with the other, they
will be restrained and enjoined whether they be
members of the union or not.
The evidence shows that the defendants H. L.
Green and Emil Anderson are not members of
either union and have not interfered with plain-
tiffs or their men in any way, and the action will
be dismissed as to them.
I deem it proper to observe that it appears
from the evidence the officers of the Longshore-
men s Union have conducted themselves with
singularly good judgment and discretion, and |
have endeavored to restrain the other members
of their union from committing any unlawful
acts, but were unable to do so. The same can-
in n be said of the agent of the Sailors' Union.
He was not so discreet. He gave his members
very good and proper instruction when talking
to them at their meetings, but violated his in-
structions himself when on the streets. The evi-
dence discloses that he is a man deliberate in
action, energetic, aggressive and courageous, all
of which are very desirable qualities for any man
to possess, when tempered with good judgment
and sound discretion. But if the judgment and
discretion are lacking those very virtues are apt
to lead their possessor and his followers into
many difficulties. The agent of the Sailors'
Union lacks good judgment and discretion.
The temporary injunction will be made per-
manent.

Taxpayers' Rights.
Wednesday evening the City Council voted to
pay the bills for private watchmen appointed by
the ex-chief of police. On the first page we pub-
lish the list of bills as allowed by the City
Council. Councilman Hite was the only mem-
ber who protested against the payment.
Nearly the entire account was for services on
private property, fenced in, and with notices
posted conspicuously, worded "Private Property,
Keep Out!" That the taxpayers of this city
should be compelled to pay these bills we be-
lieve to be wrong.
The Post believes in law and order. We be-
lieve that sufficient officers should be employed
at any time to protect the public and its rights.
If six hundred, instead of six, are necessary the
city should furnish them and the people as a
whole should pay for them.
But when a citizen fences in his property, posts
signs that it is private and for the public to
"keep out" we hold that the city is not under
obligations to put men inside the enclosure and
pay them as watchmen.
The further fact that some of these "specials"
acted as agents for these private parties while
drawing pay from the city as officers, should
have deterred the City Council from paying the
bills The taxpayers should be considered" occa-
sionally, even by the council. One man should
have as good a chance for equity as another.
Discrimination in favor of a steamship line that
would not be given a business man or private
citizen is not good government, and causes dis-
respect for officials whose sworn duty it is to
act for the public good, with equal justice to all.

Victory In Sight.
The efforts of the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association to disrupt the Sailors,
Firemen and Cooks and Stewards' Unions were,
as has been frequently stated in these columns,
foredoomed to failure, and the truth of this pre-
diction is daily becoming more evident. A num-
ber of shipowners have become so tired of the
unequal contest that they have practically sur-
rendered, and their vessels are now sailing with
union crews. The action of these shipowners has
not been given the publicity usually attending
such incidents. The reasons for this are appar-
ent to those acquainted with the situation and
especially the nature of the compact a majority
of the shipowners were forced into. However,
dless of the methods the shipowners are
employing to cover their defeat, the end of the
strike is in sight.
Early this week Captain Goodall of the United
Shipping and Transportation Association secured
some choice live exhibits of what he claimed to
be evidence of lack of police protection on the
water front for his proteges. The exhibits con-
sisted of several men sporting blackened optics,
scarred noses and other evidences of the vaga-
ries of water-front "fire water." The exhibits,
according to the veracious Captain, were the
work of union sailors — at least their decorations
had been applied by the union men. These ex-
hibits were secured to emphasize Captain Good-
all's demand on Mayor Schmitz for increased
police protection for his charges. It is not of
record that the Mayor was visibly impressed by
the doughty Captain's contentions. — Labor Clar-

Carries No Passengers.
The San Francisco & Portland Steamship
Company's liner Costa Rica tied up at the Ains-
worth dock a few days ago for the first time
in two months, as she has been lying idle at San
Francisco as a result of the sailors' strike.
She brought a full cargo of freight, consisting
of 1200 tons, but no passengers. Many applica-
tions for berths were received at the Bay City,
but, owing to the inexperience of the green
hands shipped to man the vessel, the Govern-
ment Inspectors refused to grant the steamer a
passenger license. This is in accordance with
the United States Government regulations, and
the officers of the vessel stated that they hoped
by the next trip to have the new crew drilled so
that they will be able to satisfy the Inspectors
as to their efficiency. Most of the men were
seasick a goodly portion of the voyage, but are
said to be rapidly learning their duties. — Ore-

A SEA STORY.
SHIPBUILDING FOR THE YEAR.
A sea story seldom loses anything in telling.
The following press dispatch was published re-
cently in all the leading dailies :
Without provisions for days, and their ship
weighted down by tons of barnacles, the crew of
the Swedish sailing ship Eva were near death
from starvation when succored in midocean by
the German steamship Vandalia, which arrived
(at New York July 17) from Algiers. So great
was the weight of the barnacles, which were
more than one foot thick on her sides and
bottom, that the ship could make no progress
even with favorable winds, and was sunk three
feet below her waterline. Weakened by their
long struggle, the crew of eight sailors and Cap-
tain Anderson had given up in despair of being
rescued.
The Eva is a vessel of more than 300 tons,
and it would take a very handsome collection
of barnacles to sink such a craft three feet
or even one foot, below her water line, al-
though such a marine growth might easily re-
duce her speed by more than fifty per cent.
We are afraid that the reporter obtaining this
story was mistaken by the sailors for a ma-
rine. Just listen to the balance of the story:
Their eyes were sunken and they were gaunt
and helpless when the crew of the Vandalia went
aboard the Eva. Several lay on the deck, too
weak to walk, while others eagerly grasped
for food and water. They had exhausted every
kind of edible object, and it was the opinion
of their rescuers that they could not haye lived
another day.
The Eva is a three-masted ship and was bound
with a cargo from Montevideo, South America,
to Havre. The trip is supposed to take about
50 days, and 60 days is slow. The Eva carried
about 75 days' provisions. Frank Meyer, sec-
ond officer of the Vandalia, told this story of
the rescue:
"When we sighted the Eva she was so deep in
the water we thought she must be heavily over-
loaded or sinking. The signal of distress was fly-
ing, but we could not see any one on board.
When we came near enough to distinguish things
it was about the worst sight I ever saw at sea.
A few of the crew made feeble efforts to cheer,
but were too weak, and others lay as if dead.
Dogs, cats and ship rats had been eaten. Driven
almost mad by thirst, several sailors were try-
ing to squeeze water out of hard, dry apples.
"Several of the men were nothing but skele-
tons. They would have been dead in another
day. About the first thing we put on the Eva
was a bag of strong onions. Two of the crew
grabbed big onions, strong enough to make' a
horse sick, and eagerly devoured them. They
drank quarts of water.
"We gave them about 60 days' supplies, and
we figured they should make port in 30 days,
even with bad winds. When they have regained
their strength they will be able to considerably
lighten their ship by knocking off the barnacles."
One of the most remarkable cases of resusci-
tation ever reported to the Life Saving Serv-
ice has just been sent by Superintendent
Knowles of the third district. The case is
that of Robert Mooney, who was thrown into
the water near Wakefield, R. I., on July 4, by
the capsizing of a boat and, according to the
official report, remained under water for 23
minutes. When first aid was given him 3 1-2
quarts to a gallon of water was expelled from
the lungs. A second operation brought an-
other pint of water from Mooney, who bore
all the appearances of a drowned man. Arti-
ficial respiration was employed for an hour
and 48 minutes before the first signs of return-
ing consciousness were apparent. Friction
and hot stones were then applied and the bel-
lows movement continued. The patient did
not recover complete consciousness until the
next day after the accident.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1906,
1463 merchant vessels were built and officially
numbered by the Bureau of Navigation, meas-
uring 421,744 gross register tons, compared
with 1301 of 326,213 gross tons for the fiscal
year 1905. Of the new tonnage 384 vessels of
73,399 gross tons were unrigged barges and
canal boats.
The year's increase has been entirely in steel
steamers on the Great Lakes numbering 52
of 237,724 gross tons, compared with 29 of
102,497 gross tons for 1905. The former year
of greatest Lake construction was 1901, when
175 vessels of all types of 169,085 gross tons
were built. Three steamers over 7000 gross
tons were added this year to the Lake fleet,
the J. Pierpont Morgan, 7161 gross tons, be-
ing the largest.
On the seaboard only two steamers for for-
eign trade have been built, Mexico and Mer-
ida, 6207 gross tons each, under mail con-
tract to Cuba and Mexico, and built to replace
two steamers sold to the Government's line
to the Isthmus of Panama. Only one other
ocean steamer over 1000 tons was built. Re-
maining large steamers are for ferry, river or
bay service, including four for New York's
city-owned ferry system.
Only five schooners over 1000 tons were
built, compared with fourteen in the fiscal year
1095. Three years have now elapsed since a
square-rigged vessel was built in the United
States.
BLUEJACKETS PLAY BALL.
FAST CANADIAN LINE.
The combination of the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company with the Allan Steamship
Company for the conveyance of mails between
Great Britain and Canada has attracted con-
siderable attention in both countries. The new
combination promises to transport mails be-
tween Europe and America in. less time, owing
to the shorter route, than is done by any other
line, and it expects to get the United States
mails. At least, that is announced as one of the
purposes of the combination. The Allan line
vessel and the Canadian Pacific steamships
have been in competition with each other,
but ,owing to the Canadian Pacific having
become owners of some specially fast ships,
the Allan company agreed to combine, where
before it had refused.
As the United States mails are largely car-
ried by the Cunard and White Star vessels,
which are British lines, the Allan-Canadian Pa-
cific combination think that they will have no
difficulty in getting those mails, provided they
can make better time, but that remains to be
seen. From IJverpol to Halifax it is 2,845
nautical miles, while from Liverpool to New
York it is 3,036 miles, besides the delay caused
by stopping at Queenstown. The Canadian line
docs not intend to make a stop in Ireland.
The former Plant liner (British) has had
her name changed to A. W. Perry, in honor
of the President of the line.
The Treasury Department suspended the
Customs laws of the United States in order to
admit free of duty the magnificent silver cup
presented by King Edward of Great Britain,
which was contested for in the yacht races at
Newport, K. L, recently.

"Fighting Bob" Evans, in charge of the At-
lantic squadron, will summer at Rockport,
Mass., this year. For the last four years tha
Atlantic squadron has been executing its sum-
mer maneuvers at Provincetown, Mass., and in
order to have some amusement the crews of
the squadron have chipped in and bought
some land and built an athletic ground, where
they can play baseball, football, etc., on Sun-
day. However, the inhabitants of Province-
town deemed it best that the bluejackets should
attend divine service on Sunday, and so took
the matter up with the Department and caused
some very strong correspondence between Ad-
miral Evans and the authorities at Washing-
ton, with the result that, rather than shock
the morals of the good people of Province-
town, it was decided to summer at Rockport,
Mass., where the people say that the boys can
play ball on Sunday to their hearts' content.
Since the Government has built the new
breakwater at Rockport, the harbor has be-
come one of the finest in the United States, and
large enough to accommodate the entire navy.
About forty ships under Admiral Evans have
already arrived there.
AMERICAN BEEF.
The following press dispatch shows what
the seamen in the British navy think of our
American beef :
LONDON, July 9.— As the result of the re-
fusal of one of the ships of the British Atlantic
fleet to take on American tinned meats during
the recent naval maneuvers, the Admiralty di-
rects that ships' companies be supplied with
Australian or Argentine brands instead of Amer-
ican.
The remainder of American tinned meats now
on hand is being returned to the victualing
yards, and will be no longer a compulsory ra-
tion for the navy.
When it is remembered that only the best is
used for the export trade the general public
can imagine what our naval boys had during
the late war. The volunteer army, not bem-
used to hard living, made a kick that was
pretty generally heard, but it is a well known
fact that the army fared much belter than the
navy, and the quality yet served in the latter
part of our defense service has not perceptibly
improved since 1889.
Captain O'Neil and the crew <>\ the well-
known fishing schooner, Mary A. Powers, re-
cently arrived in Boston, having been sent

ard Oil Company was fired on August
6, when the Federal Grand Jury be-
gan to hear evidence concerning the
relations of the company with certain
railroads, the alleged granting of re-
bates and reported discrimination in
the matter of storage charges.
Willard Jones, a member of the
Oregon Legislature of 1903, and a
wealthy contractor and timber dealer,
has been .sentenced by Judge William
II. Hunt in the United States Circuit
Court at Portland, Or., to one year's
imprisonment, and to pay a fine of
$20OO. Jones was convicted of con-
spiracy to defraud the Government in
October last. Thaddeus Stevens Pot-
ter, a well-known Portland lawyer,
who was tried and convicted jointly
with Jones, was sentenced to six
months' imprisonment and to pay a
fine of $500.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
At present 109 vessels are on the way or char-
tered to San Francisco, carrying 213,000 tons of
cargo, mostly building material.
A telegram from Seattle reports that the bark
Battle Abbey struck a rock near Port Townsend,
and went to Winslow to be drydocked.
The American bark Haydn Brown, of 821 tons
register, has been sold to the Alaska Copper
Company, and will be converted into a barge.
A telegram received at San Francisco on July
31 from Kobe, Japan, reported that the cargo of
the American ship Agenor, before reported
wrecked, is a total loss.
The new steam-schooner Tamalpais, owned by
the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, and outfitted
by the Risdon Iron Works, had her trial trip
on vSan Francisco Bay on July 28.
The British steamer Flamingo, a fishing boat,
recently purchased for use on the British Colum-
bia coast, arrived at San Diego, Cal., on Aug. 3,
after a passage of ninety-one days from Hull.
Twenty-seven French steamers are booked to
call at Puget Sound ports for the purpose of car-
rying wheat and grain from the Sound to foreign
ports. The total amount of tonnage of the fleet
will amount to 68,t6o.
A rule life-preserver bearing the name, "City
of Rio oe Janeiro" and supposed to be from
that vessel, was picked up on the beach near
San Francisco on August 6. The Rio was lost
on February 22, 1901.
The Pacific Coast Company's steel passenger
and freight steamer building at the yards of the
New York Shipbuilding Company, Camden, N.
J., will be named President. The vessel is of
5500 tons gross, 417 feet long, 48 feet beam and
30 feet deep.
Hugh Murray, 22 years of age, a seaman on
the United States Army transport Warren, was
instantly killed at San Francisco on August 9
while at work on the forward deck of the vessel
at Folsom-street wharf. Deceased was a native
of Scotland.
The Moran Shipbuilding Company of Seattle,
Wash., will soon commence the construction of
a steel fishing- vessel, costing $50,000, for use on
the southeastern coast of Alaska. A company
has been organized in San Francisco and the
plans are to build a fishing, oil and guano plant.
Captain Griffin, master of the steamer Princess
Victoria, has been committed for trial at the Su-
preme Court assizes in Victoria, B. C, on the
charge of manslaughter in connection with the
sinking of the tug Chehalis in that harbor four
weeks ago, when eight persons were drowned.
Captain John Bermingham, Supervising In-
spector, has denied the appeal of Captain George
W. Brown from the decision of the Inspectors
of Hulls and Boilers, at San Francisco, who sus-
pended his license for ninety days for grounding
the steamer City of Para of? Point Ano Nuevo
on July 10.
The steamer Hilonian has taken 250 tons of re-
fined sugar from the Honolulu plantation to Port-
land. This is the first direct shipment of refined
sugar ever made from the Islands to anv port
than San Francisco. On the same voyage the
Hilonian took 1750 tons of refined sugar to San
Francisco.
Moran Brothers, of Seattle, Wash., are to
build for the Northwestern Steamship Company
the largest steel lumber vessel on the Coast,
having 4000 tons burden and a lumber-carrying
capacity of several million feet. At present the
Francis H. Leggett is the largest steam-schooner
on the Coast.
The fish traps installed on the Vancouver Isl-
and shore of the Straits of Juan de Fuca by Vic-
toria and Vancouver packers have so far this
year proved a failure. There are twenty-three
traps in operation. At a conservative estimate
these were installed at a cost of $8000 each,
which means a total outlay of $184,000.
Captain John Bermingham, to whom William
Tribble, first-mate of the schooner J. B. Stetson,
appealed from the decision of the Portland In-
spectors, has reduced the suspension of Tribble's
license from six months to four months. The
Stetson was in collision with the barkentine Jane
L. Stanford off the mouth of the Columbia River
on June 12.
The tug Tiger was recently sold to satisfy a
judgment against her in favor of The St. Paul
Fire and Marine Insurance Company. The suit
grew out of a collision of the Tiger with the
George W. Elder. J. P. Ormond was the pur-
chaser and the price was $1300. United States
Commissioner James Brown fixed the value of
the Tiger at $2800.
Supervising Inspector John Bermingham has
instructed the Seattle Inspectors to take no fur-
ther proceedings against John Burgstand, second-
mate of the American ship Henry Villard, who
was accused by Mrs. Annie McNeil of assaulting
her. Captain Bermingham holds that the testi-
mony taken before W. M. Schuster, Insular Col-
lector of Customs at Manila, P. I., and the
Seattle Inspectors is not sufficient to deprive
Burgstand of his license.
It has been decided to do nothing with the old
United States gunboat Marion, and in all proba
bility that vessel will be appraised at an early
day and offered to the highest bidder. It was
contemplated recently to convert the Marion into
a coal hulk for service on the Pacific station but
the estimates from experts at the Mare Island
Navy Yard have been altogether too high to suit
the Navy Department and it has been decided to
get rid of the Marion.
Instructions have been sent from Washington,
D. C, to the officials at the Navy Yard on Puget
Sound to make borings for a "new drydock at
Bremerton. This is the only structure of that
sort authorized by Congress at the last session
The experts of the Bureau of Yards and Docks
are at work also on plans for the dock, which is
to be of the largest dimensions, about 750 feet
m length and 37 feet in depth.
The Immigration Inspectors at San Francisco
have decided that twenty Mexicans and a Peru-
vian, who came to that port from Acapulco on
the Pacific Mail liner Newport, cannot land, and
must go back when the steamer sails. They
shipped as "supernumeraries" on the Newport,
the wage agreed upon being a nominal one of
25 cents a month, and the understanding being
that upon arrival at San Francisco they could be
shipped as sailors or returned to their home, at
the option of the Company.
Plans have been completed by the Southern
Pacific Railroad for a through route from San
Francisco to New York. The trip will be by
way of New Orleans. The trains leaving San
Francisco over the Sunset route will proceed to
Los Angeles and then cut across the country
through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to
Louisiana.- On reaching New Orleans the pas-
sengers will be transferred to steamers and go
to New York. Three new steamers are being
constructed by the Cramps shipyards in Phila-
delphia for this purpose and will be completed
soon.
Extensive work is in contemplation at the
naval coal depot at California City, San Fran-
cisco Bay, and a contract for the work will be
awarded soon by the chief of the Bureau of
Equipment. The only specification ready for the
bidders is that for the coal-handling plant. The
specifications contemplate a coal-handling and
storage plant consisting of a steel frame coal
hoisting tower, movable steel bridge and timber
trestle, cable railway and concrete platform for
coal storage. The coal storage area will be 650
feet long by 100 feet wide. The tower must have
a capacity of at least seventy-five tons per hour.
A report of the world's tonnage of shipping
makes a good showing for the United States.
Under all flags the total tonnage for 1906 is
given at 31,744,904 gross for steamers, and 5,809.-
113 net for sailing ships. The United States is
second in sailing ship tonnage with 1,413,833,
and Great Britain is first with 1,444,348 tons.
The United States is, however, down to third
place in steamer tonnage, with something over
2,000,000, Great Britain being first with 16,166,748
and Germany second with 3,375,743 tons. But
of the tonnage under the British flag, over 1.000,-
000 tons are owned and controlled by Americans
who have been unable to place their vessels
under the American flag.
Judge J. J. De Haven, of the United States
District Court, at San Francisco, rendered his
decision on August 10 in the case of the St. Paul
Fire and Marine Insurance Company and the
California City Rock Company vs. the tug Tiger
and the steamship Robert Dollar, which collided
in the Bay, causing damages to the boats, which
the insurance company had to pay, and involv-
ing the loss of a barge which the Tiger was
towing. The insurance money was recoverable
because the collision was the fault of both boats.
The following awards are made: From the
Tiger to the insurance company, $1101, to the
rock company $198; from the Dollar to the in-
surance company $1899, to the rock company
$5075. Interest runs from November, 1905.

The plan for tunneling from France to Eng-
land underneath the Straits of Dover, which
was abandoned about thirty years ago owing
to the opposition of the English authorities,
lias recently been revived by the establishment
of friendly relations between Greal Britain
and France, and the promoters of the project
will make another effort to obtain the sanction
of the British Government. Says the Scien-
tific American in its editorial columns:
"The Societe Francais du Tunnel Sous-
Marin was incorporated in the early seventies
lor the purpose of carrying out this great work.
A '-haft was sunk on the French side of the
Channel at a point about six miles from Calais,
and the English terminus was fixed near to
Dover. A considerable amounl of tunneling
was done by the French company; but alter
they had spent about half a million dollars, the
British Government put a stop to the work on
the English end, ostensibly for flic reason that
a tunnel beneath the Channel would destroj
the security which Greal Britain's insular posi-
tion afforded, and would render her liable to
attack by an invading army.
Engineers of the Northern Railwaj of
France have recently made an investigation of
the abandoned works and found them to be in
good condition, and it is probable thai the
present session of Parliament will witness the
introduction of a bill for permitting the work
to proceed on the English side. The tunnel
would be an ideal one to drive, as practically
the whole of its 23 [-2 miles of length will pass
through a firm but easily quarried chalk, which
it is believed is free from faults. This would
make it possible to drive the tunnel without
the use of the pneumatic process or the neces
sity for serious pumping operations. Apart
from military considerations, which, in them
selves, can not have much weight, because of
the tunnel's limited capacity and ease of de
struction, there is much to be said in favor of
the proposed tunnel. The Dover-Calais pas-
sage is notoriously rough and uncomfortable,
and the substitution of an all-rail route be-
tween London and Paris would be a decided
boon to hundreds of thousands of travelers
between England and the Continent."
Sir W. Holland, M. I'., on being interviewed
by a representative of The Dal'y Mail, ex-
pressed a hope that Parliament would eventu-
ally sanction the tunnel, whose military danger
he had a plan for obviating, which he thus e\
plained :
"I have a scheme which I hope to see
adopted b\ the Powers, and that is that the
tunnel shoud be denationalized - -that it should
be made neutral territory. The French G
eminent supports the scheme, and I have no
doubt that before many years aie over the
tunnel will be an accomplished fact."

MORE rOLKT. WANTED.
It appears that Andrew Furuseth was not ex-
pected to be incsent at the conference held Wed-
aesday afternoon at the Mayor's office between
the chief executive, Chief of Police Dinan and
a committee of steamship owners from the
United Shipping and Transportation Association.
From remarks made yesterday by the owners
this may in some measure have been the cause of
the heated discussion between Furuseth and Cap-
tain II. W. Goodali, chairman of the executive
committee of the steamship owners.
"We did not expect to see Furuseth there,"
said Captain Goodali yesterday. "We had asked
for a conference with Mayor Schmitz, at which
Chief of Police Dinan was asked to be present,
for the purpose of convincing these officials that
stern measures were necessary to prevent the
violence that has been going on along the water
front. Furuseth's presence was evidently ar-
ranged for by the Mayor. We had, and still
have, no intention of arbitrating anything with
Furuseth, but we do want this violence on the
part of the strikers ended."
The foregoing is the Chronicle's report of
an interesting seance which took place in the
the office of Mayor Schmitz, on the cSth inst.
The shipowners had asked an interview with
the Mayor, and the latter, presumably divin-
ing the object of the interview, invited Secre-
tary Furuseth to be present. "We did not ex-
pect to see Furuseth there." Of course not.
The shipowners expected to have it
all their own way, to attack and villify the
seamen without fear of contradiction or refu-
tation. But the thing didn't pan out as pro-
grammed. Instead, Secretary Furuseth was
present, with the inevitable result that the
shipowners got slightly the worst of the en-
counter.
The burden of the shipowners' complaint
was, "Violence." To this charge, Chief of
Police Dinan and Captain Martin, in charge
of the water-front detail, replied that condi-
tions on the water front are normal, that
there is no more infraction of the law in that
locality than in ordinary times. When Cap-
tain Goodali contradicted the Chief in terms
reflecting upon the latter's efficiency, the lat-
ter replied in terms that wouldn't look well
in print and which it is sufficient to say didn't
reflect any credit upon the Captain's character
as "man to man."
The shipowners didn't want to arbitrate,
nor to discuss any terms of settlement; they
wanted one tiling; and one thing alone, namely,
mote police protection. This plea doesn't jibe
very well with the claims of the United Ship-
ping and Transportation Association, that it
"has the sailors licked." However, we will
let that pass ; anyway, these claims were made
several weeks ago. The seamen, believing that
a strict compliance with the law — by the ship-
owners, as well as by themselves — can not fail
of good results, instructed Secretary Furuseth
to reply on the point, as follows :
I Ion Eugene E. Schmitz, Mayor of San Fran-
cisco— Dear Sir: The suggestion made by Mr.
Schwerin at the meeting in your office yesterday,
namely, that you detail and we consent to police
officers being carried in our picket launches, was
submitted to our committee, which instructed me
to inform you that we have no objection to such
arrangement, provided the owners, in turn, will
permit one member of the Union, in company
with the police officer, to visit all the vessels and
docks and be given an opportunity to speak to
the men on board the vessels or on the docks.
The fact that a large number of men, who have
had no experience at sea, have been brought on
board of vessels under misrepresentation and
held there by intimidation should, we think, be
sufficient reason for the steamship owners con-
senting to this proposition, in order to clear
themselves of any charge of tolerating, or being
parties to, a condition which exists, yet is by
them strenuously denied.
I inclose herewith copy of circular which is
being distributed by our pickets to such men
and boys on board ship as we are able to reach.
Respectfully yours,
ANDREW FURUSETH.
It is not likely that the shipowners will ac-
cept the proposal contained in the letter of
Secretary Furuseth. When the shipowners ask
for police protection, they mean protection in
violating the law. They want a police-officer
on every steam-schooner and two police-officers
on every dock, to act as strike-breakers, pro-
curers, and, in emergencies, as gun-fighters.
And they won't be satisfied with anything less.
The shipowners' present attitude indicates a
state of mental desperation that foreshadows
an early conclusion of the present little un-
pleasantness.
ANSWER TO SHIPOWNERS' AD.
The advertisement of the Steamship Asso-
ciation, of San Francisco, calling for "ioo
boys for apprentices," to which reference has
already been made in these columns, has elicit-
ed wide comment, mostly of an uncomplimen-
tary tenor. The following, from an old and
honored correspondent of the Journal, is
characteristic of the general expression on the
subject. Our correspondent says :
Editor Coast Seamen's Journal: The under-
signed engaged in the arduous life of the sea as
an apprentice at the early age of 12 years and 6
months. After four years' experience in that
position, I entered the United States Navy, serv-
ing during the Mexican War, from the capture
of Vera Cruz to the conclusion of peace. I came
to California in the sloop-of-war St. Mary's, and
was transferred to the ship Southhampton, which
gave its name to Southhampton Shoal, eastward
of Angel Island, in San Francisco Bay.
Now, after fifty-eight years' experience on the
Coast, I discover in the ad. of the Steamship
Association, of San Francisco (a clipping of
which I inclose), an anomalous proposition, to-
wit: American-born boys, 18 years of age, will
gaged by that concern as apprentices, but
they will occupy the position of petty officers!
For unadulterated rascality, the scoundrel (be
it one or more) who propounded that scheme
takes the cake.
The absurdity of the project is transparent. It
is vicious in construction and would be an added
danger to the navigation of vessels. But why
are the boys to be native born? Is that a reflec-
tion upon the foreign-born seamen? We are all
of European derivation. It is no axiom that a
person born in a certain locality will make a bet-
ter seaman than others who are born elsewhere.
To assert or to think so is a form of self-conceit.
Were it not for the presence of European sea-
men on the Coast, the demand would exceed the
supply. Commercialism carried to its inevitable
goal results in tyranny, degradation and the ob-
literation of all that preceded in greatness and
solidity.
The shadow of the French Revolution now
darkens the horizon — the elements of disturb-
ance are gathering. The fate of Rome is a les-
son unheeded. Nevertheless, those nations who
lower the standard of maritime service, including
labor generally, and who nourish an aristocratic
incubus, favoring the rich and crushing the poor,
are doomed to suffer the same fate. Great Brit-
ain and the United States of America are no ex-
ceptions; their vainglorious civilization will dis-
appear like chaff.
The wealthy thieves can enjoy the privileges
of organization; but, Great Scott, these same
rogues consider it criminal in labor to form
unions and protect themselves. Reader, there
arc men called judges in this country who will
support the rich in every contention against
labor.
Boys, American-born or otherwise, take the
advice of a seaman, 76 years of age, and avoid
the gaudy-colored web spun by this aggregation
of spiders and bloodsuckers of American man-
hood— the Steamship Association of San Fran-
cisco.
At the end of three years, the boy will receive
a bonus of $250. Rot! Before the end of the
third year, bonus and boy will disappear.
OCCIDENT.
Marshfield, Or.
It is epiite apparent that our friend "Oc-
cident" is indignant — in fact, what may be
called "hot in the collar." It isn't a very dig-
nified attitude on the part of a gentleman,
the less so considering our correspondent's
patriarchal years. Vet, when one pauses to
reflect upon the provocation in the present in-
stance one is bound to make some allowance
for ordinary human impulse. The ad of the
Shipowners' Association might reasonably be
offered as a plea in extenuation of almost any
lapse from dignity, even on the part of an old
sailor. This is not said by way of mitigating
the force of our correspondent's remarks,
but on the contrary, to indicate the sentiment
naturally and inevitably aroused by the appeal
of the shipowners to the American-born boy.
The man, and especially the sailor, who would
not become indignant at that appeal, implying,
as it does, an insult to common intelligence,
must be lost to all sense of the fitness of things,
Even a graven image might be excused for de-
scending from its pedestal in disgust at even a
smaller offense against common sense.
Referring to the charges made by represen-
tatives of the seamen's unions, that vessels
controlled by the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association are constantly violating
the Navigation laws by carrying passengers
without a license, Acting Collector of the
Port William Hamilton has expressed his con-
ception of the situation, as follows:
The authority of the Collector — or any one
else for that matter — regarding vessels that vio-
late the passenger act is very limited. The own-
ers of the boat may be fined if she is overloaded
with passengers, but the vessel may leave port
with them on board without molestation. If a
vessel has an insufficient crew the Collector may
refuse to give her clearance papers, or may pre-
vent her from sailing if she goes to a domestic
port. But a vessel with equipment, life-preserv-
ers and accommodations for, say, fifty passen-
gers, can carry as many more than that number
as her owners please. A fine of $10 for each pas-
senger, besides the passage money, may be im-
posed, but the vessel can not be prevented from
leaving port.
In other words, the officials of the port may
lock the stable door after the horse has been
stolen, but are absolutely powerless to prevent
the theft itself! Common sense suggests that
the law in this connection is intended primarily
to safeguard the passenger, not to penalize
the shipowner. The official opinion suggests
otherwise. But perhaps it is out of order to
talk about common sense in connection with
the Navigation laws, or at least in connection
with the official construction of these laws.
The opinion of Acting Collector of the Port
William Hamilton indicates that either "the
law is a hass," or a certain official intrusted
with the administration thereof is distantly re-
lated to the equine family.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
BULLETIN HITS IT AGAIN.
Last week the Journal reprinted (with ap-
proval) an editorial from the Bulletin, of San
Francisco. This week we repeat that unusual
performance, leaving the reader to pass judg-
ment upon such use of our valuable space and
his (the reader's) equally valuable time. Un-
der the caption, "Why the Workingman Wins
With the Odds Against Him," the Bulletin
says:
Workingmen on strike have an advantage in
their poverty that overbalances all the massed
wealth of their employers. This is a paradox,
but for all that it states a deep truth of political
economy.
Judged without taking human nature into ac-
count, the odds in a strike are heavily against
the workingman. He and his family are depen-
dent on his labor for their daily bread. His sav-
ings, if he has any, are meager and will not last
him many months. Nor can he providently af-
ford to spend his savings which he has accumu-
lated by much stinting against old age.
On the other hand the employer, in very many
cases, is wealthy. The revenues of his business
are not necessary for the support of his family.
He has other investments probably and other
sources of income. He is sure, whatever hap-
pens, of a roof over his head and plenty to eat
and wear. Without suffering privation he could
hold out until doomsday; while the working-
man's power of enduring the deadlock is obvious-
ly limited.
Why, then, do the workingmen win so many
strikes? Why are they so much more steadfast
than the employers? Why, to consider a partic-
ular case, have wealthy shipowners in the exist-
ing strike on the water front broken away from
their associates and yielded to the unions, while
not one union man of the thousands that left
their work has deserted his union? Isn't it
strange that the men who possess the largest
resources should surrender to the men whose
main resource is simple fortitude and strong de-
votion to a principle — admirable qualities, but
not nutritious?
Money, which is rated as a source of power, is
rather a cause of weakness. Capital makes cow-
ards of us all. The rich man has much to lose;
the poor man, so long as he has his hands and
health, is confident that he can do hard labor
and live, if things come to that extremity. The
man of money has acquired necessities that bear
him down. He lives on an expensive scale. His
wife must have fine dresses and servants to help
her. His daughter's social ambitions must not
be thwarted. His son at college must have a
liberal allowance. Luxury, long enjoyed, breaks
down character. The opulent man fears a dim-
inution of his copious revenues more than the
mechanic fears downright penury. The capitalist
can not bear to view his pile of hoarded wealth
dwindle. His joy has been to behold it grow
larger from year to year and he has become by
a slow process the slave of his superfluous cap-
ital. In him the desire for more money is often
stronger than any sense of fidelity to his class
or his colleagues. When he enters into a compact
with other employers he looks on the combina-
tion purely from the point of commercial self-
interest, and when he sees that his interest would
be served by breaking away from his associates
he breaks away without any sense of shame, for
he feels that any of them would do the same
thing. His fellow employers are his competitors
and he does not love them. If he were to ruin
their business he would profit by their loss. Con-
sequently in confederating with them he is
moved by no altruistic feelings. He goes in the
direction of more money, whatever tack he takes.
The workingman, on the contrary, is senti-
mental, rather than mercenary, in his zeal for his
union. He will not quit the union when an em-
ployer, whose men have struck, offers him wages
above the union scale. He thinks more of his
fealty to his fellow workingmen than of his
pocket. That is why he wins so many strikes
with the odds against him.
Now, this is quite alarming! If the busi-
ness manager of the Bulletin, or whoever it is
that controls the destiny (i. e., the policy) of
that "great moral engine," continues to let
the office-boy write the editorials, he may wake
up to find a mutiny among the advertisers.
On second thoughts, however, it may be just
as well if the business manager shall slumber
on, in blissful ignorance of the course upon
which his paper is now headed. If the busi-
ness manager sleeps long enough, he may
wake up to find that it pays just as well,
and possibly better, to write sense than to
write as editors commonly do write. In other
words, the business manager while asleep may
experience a revelation of the truth that it
isn't absolutely necessary that the editor shall
stultify himself in order that the paper shall
pay. Peace to the slumbers of the Bulletin's
business manager ! Go to it, Mr. Editor, while
you have a chance.
The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroad
companies are bending their energies to se-
cure a large quantity of labor for San Fran-
cisco, all- in the interest of reconstruction and
without the slightest reference to the interests
of the passenger traffic. Readers of the graphic,
not to say glowing, literature issued by the
railroad "bureaus of information" will do well
to be guarded against the statements concern-
ing labor conditions in San Francisco and its
environs. Labor is needed in that locality, of
course, but not in the quantities nor for the
purposes really contemplated by the railroads.
San Francisco needs labor in sufficient quan-
tities to clear away the ruins and rebuild, but
it doesn't need labor in sufficient quantities
to break strikes and reduce conditions gen-
erally to the peon or padrone level. Persons
contemplating a trip to the Golden West will
do well to consult some authority less open to
suspicion of self-interest than the great cor-
porations of the State.
A correspondent in Mobile, Ala., informs the
Journal that a number of scab procurers in
the guise of United States soldiers were re-
cently detected in that city, and, of course,
run out of town. The shipowners are going
far afield in the effort to procure "young
Americans" with whom to fight the seamen's
unions. The shipowners, however, are learn-
ing, much to their surprise, no doubt, that the
seamen's unions are everywhere ahead of them,
that these bodies are, in fact, ubiquitous. We
suggest that the shipowners send a "labor
agent" to Mars or the Moon. So far as we
know, the seamen's union haven't got any
branches in either of these orbs. Of course,
we aren't quite sure about this; we merely
offer the suggestion for what it may be worth.
Government officers, in pursuance of orders re-
cently issued to the effect that every vessel that
comes into port should be inspected for possible
violation of the passenger laws, have found that
the Porno, which arrived recently from Albion,
had nine passengers, although having no license
to carry them. Captain Reinertsen, master of
the vessel, said they were brought free, it being
claimed by some that a vessel making no charge
for conveying persons needs no passenger
license. The matter has been referred to the
United States District Attorney's office. — Press
Item.
It appears that the Porno case is actually to
be investigated. The results, of course, no
man can forsee, since the results in all pre-
vious cases of the kind have been arrived at
without any investigation at all. As to the
defense offered by Captain Reinertsen, namely,
that the passengers were "carried free," we
would suggest that if the shipowners can not
win their fight by carrying passengers "free,"
they may help matters a little by offering a
bonus to all persons who take passage on their
vessels. The bonus ought to be a big one,
however, considering the risks to the passen-
gers.
Captain G. D. Hammer and J. B. Hubbard
have been held for trial at San Francisco,
charged with the murder of Comrade Andrew
Kelncr. The accused have been released on
bail in the sum of $10,000 and $15,000, re-
spectively. Given a fair trial, there is little
doubt of the conviction of these men. We can
only hope that the punishment will fit the
crime.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
ERIE-OHIO RIVER CANAL.
Promoters of the Lake Erie and Ohio River
Canal, which was authorized by Congress by
a bill granting a charter to the company, de-
clare that their enterprise will be completed
lief. ire the Panama Canal is half done. The
Pittsburg capitalists who are behind the pro-
ject are meeting almost daily. They say they
have ample funds in sight. The final records
of the engineers on route, cost, etc., are be-
ing prepared, and it is asserted that actual
work will be begun within a year.
Organization, financing and securing right
of way will require some time, but once this
has been done it is estimated that the canal
can be completed within five years. It is
one of the greatest enterprises private capital
has ever undertaken in this country, and one
of the most important industrially and
commercially. It is asserted that the
canal will do a greater volume of busi-
ness than the Panama Canal, for it is esti-
mated that the tonnage that goes over the
portage between the Ohio River and the Lakes
annually now is in excess of fifty millions,
with great developments in prospect.
Engineers have placed the probable cost of
construction of the canal at $46,000,000. The
bill passed by Congress authorized the com-
pany to capitalize on a basis of $400,000 of
stock a mile, and to issue $400,000 of bonds
a mile, and as the canal will be approximately
100 miles in length, at least $80,000,000 can
he put into the undertaking.
This does not convey an adequate idea of
the magnitude of the affair, for it is compli-
cated by difficult engineering problems. The
canal will W started at the juncture of the
Heaver and ( >hio Rivers, twenty miles below
Pittsburg, and will run up the Beaver River
to the mouth of the Mahoning, up the Ma-
honing to Niles, ()., and thence almost due
north to a harbor on Lake Erie about seven
miles west of Ashtabula. About 60 per cent
of the total length of the canal will be in-
eluded in the Heaver and Mahoning Rivers,
where nature has already done part of the
work. The canal will be from twelve to fif-
teen feet in depth and about 165 feet in width
— approximately as wide as Superior Avenue
X. K., Cleveland — and it will carry barges and
boats having a capacity of from 2,000 to 2,500
ti ms.
The total lockage in the canal will be a
little less than 500 feet, as at its highest point
it will he 317 feet above Lake Erie and 180
feet above the ( >hio River. This means that
boats must be locked 317 feet up, and then
locked 1 So down in taking them from
the Lake to the river. The point of greatest
elevation wil be near Jefferson, Ashtabula
county, about twelve miles from the lake, but
there will be a stretch of thirty-two miles in
the canal from that point to within a short
distance of Niles without a lock.
Two branch canals arc also projected, one
from the Mahoning up the Shenango River
to Newcastle, Pa., and one from Niles to
Warren in the Mahoning.
Aside from the task involved in the actual
construction of these canals, a greater prob-
lem confronts the engineers, and that is the
problem of getting water into the canal. It
will be secured from the headwaters of the
Allegheny River, in Pennsylvania, and will
be stored in a great reservoir in the neighbor-
hood of Conneaut Lake, and brought across
to the canal at Jefferson in a "feeder'* canal,
which will be about eight feet deep, fifty feet
in width, and about thirty-five miles in length.
In addition a reservoir wil be constructed a
short distance north of Niles. It will be about
eight miles long by half a mile in width.
A waterway over the portage between Lake
Erie and the Ohio has been a dream of en-
gineers and promoters for over a century. In
fact. George Washington, in his early days
as a surveyor, conceived the idea of such a
waterway. The present agitation in connection
with tiie enterprise has been going on for
thirteen vears.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Notice of the following charges in lights and
entrances to harbors has been issued by the
Hydrographic Office to vesselmen:
The channel between the jetties at Ontona-
gon has recently been dredged to a depth of
fourteen feet. The channel is sixty feet wide,
and the central line is sixty feet from the
western pier for the first 300 feet from the
southern end of the pier, where it branches into
two channels leading to the northern end of
both the commercial and lumber docks.
A gas buoy painted red and showing a red
light every ten seconds has been placed to
mark the wreck of the steamer Manhattan,
sunk on the western side of the eastern en-
trance to Grand Island harbor. A ten-inch
steam whistle has been placed at the Milwau-
kee pierhead range light station to sound every
seventeen seconds in foggy weather. The
fog bell heretofore sounded at this point has
been discontinued. A similar whistle has been
placed on the outer end of the south pier to
the entrance of Waukegan harbor.
A permanent skeleton tower with a white
light fifty-four feet high has been placed on
the Lakeview waterwork crib at Chicago, and
a fog bell has also been established in the
tower. The dredging operations at Michigan
City harbor have been completed, and the
depth is now seventeen feet.
WORK ON GARY HARBOR.
The Indiana Steel Company has awarded
to the Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Com
pany, Chicago, the contract for the construc-
tion of the harbor and docks at Gary, Ind.
The contract provides for 2,000,000 cubic feet
of dredging, the construction of 12,000 lineal
feet ot timber dock and breakwater, 3,000 lin-
eal feet of concrete dock and a concrete water
intake with two ten-foot tunnels to connect
with the shore. The total cost of these im-
provements is stated to be $1,500,000. Work
is to be commenced at once, the contract pro-
viding for completion by January 1, 1907.
The harbor will have a bell-mouth entrance,
will be 250 feet wide in the clear, will extend
into Lake Michigan 2,000 feet, and into the
land, figuring from the present shore line,
3,160 feet. The harbor is to be dredged and
leveled off at the bottom to a depth of twenty-
two feet below the water line. All dock piles
are to be of white or burr oak, or any other
approved variety of hardwood, cut from green
trees within one year of driving.
OPENING NEW MINES.
( )n the Menominee range, Oglebayj Norton
& Co.. ot Cleveland, have an excellent pros-
pect of opening two new mines at Common-
wealth, Wis., in the vicinity of which they
have been operating for many years as the
Commonwealth Iron Co. At a depth of 125
tee! at the Buckeye exploration, a mile west
of the company's old Badger mine, a vein of
ore thirty-eight feet in width has been encoun-
tered, and drifting and cross cutting are now
in progress to determine the extent of the find.
Analyse^- of the ore show it to range between
56 and 59 per cent in metallic iron. At the
Welch exploration, which lies within the lim-
its of the village, there has been disclosed a
vein of on- thirty-live feet in width and assay-
in-' 59 to io per cent in iron. Opening work-
is in progress to determine its extent. It looks
like a big deposit.
At Oglebay, Norton & Co.'s Bristol mine
at Crystal Falls, mining is being carried on
on a big scale in the old open pit, the exca-
vation of which was started during the time
of the Schlessinger regime years ago, and
much ore is being won. The pit has been en-
larged by stripping along the north and
east sides. The ore is being milled
down to the fourth level and with the present
system in vogue the product is being won at
low cost.
The drill which Corrigan, McKinncy & Co.
are operating in the Hennepin lands, between
the city of Crystal Palls and the Tobin mine,
has been moved to a point 400 feet east of
its former location and a second hole is being;
put down. The drill will be operated along
the run of the formation, holes of sufficient
depth to prove Up the ground being drilled.
The hole just put down went to a depth of 600
feet, at which point is encountered the black-
slates. The ground passed through was en-
couraging— rich jasper, too lean for shipping
1 pit. yet not all rock.
Excellent progress is being made with the
work of sinking the new shaft being put down
at the Steel Trust's Prince of Wales mine of
the Regent group at Negaunee, Marquette
ranee.
DOCK NEARLY COMPLETED.
At the rate construction work is ad-
vancing on the South Shore's new ore
dock, at Marquette, the structure will shortly
be readv to go into commission. All the ma-
terial that will be used in building is now on
the ground and a large number of men are
assembling the parts for the ore pockets and
putting tbi' finishing touches on the second or
lop deck. Altogether there are 300 carloads
of lumber in the dock, exclusive of nearly 100
carloads of tamarack and pine sticks used
for the piling. Tt is expected that the sec-
tion of the dock fronting north will be com-
pleted, and used before the south side is fin-
ished. However, work is being rushed with
all possible baste on every part , and its early
completion will please the railway company.
The dock will be able to handle a considerable
quantity of ore during the months of Sep-
tember, October and November, and will add
much to the season's total of ore shipments
from Marquette.

MARINE NOTES.
Ulysses Thompson, cook on the steamer
Western States, recently died at the Detroit
Marine Hospital of blood poisoning.
The new Ellsworth car ferry is now making
regular trips between Port Burwell and Ash-
tabula. She is in command of Captain B. T.
Haaqenson.
Captain Frank C. Rae, with the steamer
James C. Wallace, made a new coal record
for Ashtabula recently by clearing for the
head of the Lakes with 11,351 tons.
Application has been made to the city of
Buffalo by the United States Govvernment
for permission to place a beacon light in River-
side Park. It will be used as a range light
by vessels navigating the Niagara River.
The new steamer Samuel Mather, building
for Pickands & Mather, was launched at the
Wyandotte Yards on July 28 and will be
ready for her maiden trip about Aug. 20. She
is 550 feet over all, 530 feet keel, 60 feet beam,
and 31 feet deep.
The Acme Steamship Company has ordered
from The American Shipbuilding Company
a duplicate of the" steamer James C. Wallace.
She will come out some time next year, mak-
ing a total of thirty-two new vessels now or-
dered, and building.
The old wooden steamer C. W. Elphicke,
with coal from Ashtabula, en route to Cleve-
land to pick up her barge Tyrone, went on
the rocks of the sunken breakwater off Cleve-
land and broke in two. No lives were lost.
The Elphicke will be raised and repaired.
The steamer Henry II. Rodgers, the sec-
ond of the Pittsburg Steamship Company's
new (joo-footers, recently loaded 12,914 net
tons of iron ore at the Northwestern docks in
Ashland, in four hours. She also increased
the record for Lake Superior cargoes by 672
tons.
The Gilchrist steamers, Gilchrist, Steel
King, and Venus have each taken a cargo of
ore from Buffalo to Cleveland, a rather un-
usual proceeding, caused by the fact that the
B. & S. Co. had more of a certain kind of
ore than they needed, and sold it to the Cleve-
land Furnace Company.
The schooner Wm. Case, in tow of the
steamer Saginaw, sprung a leak in a heavy
sea, and foundered in 25 feet of water, 5 miles
northeast of Calchesta, on July 22. No lives
were lost. The case was more than fifty years
old, having been built at Algonac in 1855.
She is 137 feet long and 27 feet beam. The
cargo was insured, but the boat, of course,
carried no insurance.
The steamer Powell Stackhouse, with 9,700
tons of soft coal, was unloaded recently at
the dock of the Milwaukee Coke and Gas Com-
pany by their two "Brownhoist" steam rigs,
equipped with two-ton grab buckets, in thirty-
nine hours' actual working time, an average
of 249 tons per hour, or 124^ tons per hour
per rig. The unloading of the entire cargo,
including the cleaning up, was done by grab
buckets, and for the first ten hours each ma-
chine averaged 150 tons per hour.
The Sandusky Board of Public Service has
awarded Tom M. Sullivan, of Detroit, the
$50,000 contract for the West End channel
blasting and dredging. His bid was .$5.30 a
cubic foot. Work will start at once, and a
twenty-one-foot channel will be provided to
the 1 lanna-Pennsvlvania coal and ore docks.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
LABOR IN BOMBAY.
The conditions and standard of la-
bor in the cotton mills in Bom-
hay, East India, arc the lowest, at
least, in any Asiatic country. In American
mills quality is the unit of measure of produc-
tion ; in India it is quantity; quality dues not
count for so much. The labor is paid by the
piece or pound weight. The wages of the mill
agent and from him down is based on a pound
percentage of the mill production. Therefore
the tendency is to increase the bulk of the out-
turn, and another result is that long hours of
day labor have been induced. It is estimated
that more than $11,500,000 gold was made last
year as profits by the Bombay mills. The ex-
ceptional activity that has prevailed through
the industry during the past twelve months, the
heavy demand in all directions, and the large
profits known to have been made, running as
high in some instances as 40 per cent in divi-
dends, has quickened every available spindle
and loom in India to work to its utmost
capacity and to press labor to the uttermost
limits.
In 1881 an Act was passed by the Govern-
ment of India in the interest of factory hands,
one of the chief features being the compulsory
closure of all factories for at least four days
in a month. This boom was much appreciated
by the workmen, owing to the healthy respite
afforded to them from their tedi-
ous and irksome work. But a new
factor has been recently introduced
in the shape of electric-light installa-
tions in the textile factories, which has prac-
tically nullified the respite. Since the introduc-
tion of this light the mills, which formerly used
to work from sunrise to sunset, have begun
working from five in the morning to eight in
the evening with the same set of operatives,
with only half an hour's stoppage in the middle
of the day ; and as the mill industry of Bombay
is at present in a flourishing condition there is
a growing tendency among some of the mill
owners to prolong these hours of labor. This
they are evidently emboldened to do, as there is
no provision in the Factory Act restricting the
hours of employment in any one day in a fac-
tory of male operatives over the age of 14.
Mr. Bomanji Dinshaw Petit, an extensive
employer of mill labor, says: "It is as clear as
daylight that these unfortunate people must
suffer in physique, that their crushing work
must produce its deleterious effect upon their
health, that their resisting capacity must gradu-
ally dwindle down, and that day by day thev
must grow more impotent to resist attacks of
ill health and the prevalent epidemics, if thev
are not actually slowly ground down to death.
I deliberately assert that every additional pound
of production got by making them work
longer than 12 hours a day is wrung out of
their aching limbs." And this respected gentle-
man further declares that "the conditions of la-
bor in the Bombay mills at present reveal a de-
grading and disgraceful spectacle of cold-
blooded inhumanity."
Among the mills visited iecently and in-
spected was the "Raechel Sassoon"
weaving mill on Chinchpoogly road,
Bombay. This is one of a num-
ber owned by the descendants of the famous
Sassoon, who years ago emigrated from
Bagdad and settled in Bombav. This mill has
been lately built and is said to be quite up to
date in equipment of machinery, ventilation,
light, and sanitary conditions. It has 2,000
looms and weaves piece goods for the Indian
and China market. The mill is now running
13 hours a day, or only in daylight. It was
found, however, that they were installing an
electric light plant, so that they would run in
the future 15 hours a day. All labor in this
mill, as is the custom in India, is paid by the
piece. An average weaver working 13 hours
per day for 26 days in the month would earn on
the average about 26 rupees, or about $8.45.
COLLEGE-BRED UNEMPLOYED.
College-bred vagabonds occupy consider-
able space in all discussions of the unemployed,
but rarely, if ever, is the pathologic side of the
matter even touched upon. The Bowery
branch of the New York Y. M. C. A. gives as-
sistance to many derelicts in the course of the
year. It is said that of the last 3,228 helped
17 were graduated from universities, 134 from
colleges, 71 from academies, and 417 from high
schools, a total of 63c). The usual proportion
is about one- fourth. This is a horrible condi-
tion of affairs, and the cause must be discov-
ered. These are sick men unable to work —
suffering from neurasthenia, generally, on
which is grafted an alcohol or drug habit to in-
crease the basic disease. Is this dreadful blot
chargeable to the educators or physicians? Per-
haps a few were unfit subjects for education
and should never have been sent to schools
higher than the eighth grade. If so, some way
should be found of discovering such cases, and
preventing this waste of money and lives.
Perhaps some of them were injured by the ex-
haustion of excesses of some sort — athletics
or even the "grind" of much study and insuffi-
cient sleep. Most are probably sufferers from
eyestrain. The learning possessed by some of
them proves that they must have been ideal
students in the eyes of the teachers. A few are
said to be full of classical knowledge of no
earthly use to them — splendid Greek scholars
begging for bread. The worst of all is the
fact that three-fourths of the men aided — in-
cluding the uneducated — are native-born
Americans, and only one-fourth foreigners. In-
ability of the body in some direction or other
to respond to the increased demands, the hurry
and rush of our modern civilization, is at fault
in most cases, but there should be definite
knowledge as to what causes these neuras-
thenias in the native-born. — American Medi-
The Toronto Sun says that the Govern-
ment and the opposition have united in the
Canadian Parliament in the drafting of legisla-
tion designed to secure the control of express
rates by the railway commission, and counsel
for the express companies recognizing the
fact that such regulation was bound to come
from some source, has bowed to the inevitable
and withdrawn his contention that regulation
is beyond the constitutional limits placed on
the federal power. The result will be legisla-
tion this session giving the Canadian Railway
Commission the same control over express
rales that it now has in the matter of freight
charges and passenger fares.
The rapid development of the motorbus in
London, according to London newspapers, is
regarded as opening the way for the discon-
tinuance of the horse for the purpose of com-
mercial traction in the streets of that metropo-
lis. It is thought that steam for use on rail-
roads will, in a comparatively short time, give
way to the use of electricity.

TRANSATLANTIC WIRELESS.
With the announcement that Marconi had
sent a message, or rather a signal, across the
Atlantic, many good people jumped to the con-
clusion that commercial operation of a trans-
atlantic wireless telegraph would come at once ;
and it must be said that the Marconi company
did not attempt to dispel this illusion. But
years have elapsed since that time, and al-
though a large amount of experimental investi-
gation has been carried on, with the object of
determining the laws which govern this trans-
mission, we are not yet sending private tele-
grams to London by wireless. In the Electrical
Review Professor Fessenden, an American
worker in this field, has recently announced
that messages are now continually being sent
across the Atlantic, and has described the ob-
stacles that remain to be overcome before we
shall have regular service. An editorial writer
in The Scientific American, commenting on
this article, says :
It was natural enough that, when he had
proved the possibility of wireless communica-
tion over three thousand miles of ocean, even
though the message consisted of a single letter
ever so faintly heard at the receiver, Marconi
should have supposed that for the transmis-
sion of regular commercial messages all that
was required was apparatus of greater height,
capabilities of greater area, and the installation
of sending-apparatus of larger power. Costly
stations were equipped on this supposition both
in Cornwall. England, and on the Atlantic
Coast, and an actual message was transmitted
from President Roosevelt to King Edward.
That was in January, 1903, and in the follow-
ing March the Marconi company undertook to
furnish the London Times with daily wireless
dispatches from the United States. These,
however, were discontinued after only a couple
of dispatches had been sent, and to those who
were following closely the progress of the art,
it soon became evident that, although the trans-
mission of a full message had been proved to
be possible, there must be certain atmospheric
or other conditions affecting transatlantic
wireless telegraphy, which would have to be
understood and met before it would be possi-
ble to maintain a regular service free from
interruption.
Meanwhile other investigators who had been
doing good work in the field of wireless teleg-
raphy, on a less ambitious scale, were begin-
ning to turn their attention to the great prob-
lem which Marconi had so boldly attacked and
with such promising initial success ; and ulti-
mately De Forest and Fessenden established
stations in which elaborate experimental work
has been carried on continuously. Both of
these gentlemen claim to have succeeded in
establishing transoceanic communication.
The distance between the Fessenden stations
at Brant Rock, Mass., near Boston, and Mach-
rihanish is about 3,000 miles, we are told ; and
under favorable conditions messages are ex-
changed without difficulty, but the ease of
transmission varies greatly on different days
and even during different parts of the same
day. On certain days the signals were of five
hundred times greater intensity than under ap-
parently similar conditions on other days. The
writer goes on :
From this it follows that to make certain of
being able to transmit messages on any day of
the year, the apparatus must be built to cor-
respond to the days of least intensity; or, in
other words ,a "factory of safety" of at least
500 must be adopted. The problem might be
attacked, either by providing an increase of
sensitiveness in the receiving apparatus, or an
increase in power at the sending-station, and
in all probability both means will be adopted.
On the other hand, if an intensity of trans-
mission be used which is sufficient to meet the
worst conditions, it may be found that on the
days when conditions are favorable to trans-
mission, such intense signals would be detri-
mental. Not only might they injuriously af-
fect the operation of other stations, but they
might even interfere with the station at wheh
they were directed ; for Prof. Fessenden has
noticed during his transatlantic tests what he
has called an "echo signal," that is a signal
coming about one-fifth of a second later than
the main signal ; and he believes that this sec-
ond signal reaches the receiving-station later
because it goes the longer way round. If
transmission of great intensity were used, these
echo signals might become loud enough to have
a confusing effect at the receiving station.
Transmission conditions must be tested fre-
quently in order to determine the proper in-
tensity for current use, for the changes in con-
ditions affecting transmission take place with
some rapidity.
As for the causes of these rapid changes, it
was pointed out some time ago by Professor
Fessenden that not only is one of the causes to
be found in the action of sunlight, but that
there appear to be in the atmosphere large
masses of absorbing material which consider-
ably reduce the intensity of the transmission.
These masses vary in size and
in the height above the sea-level
at which they exist. They appear to be
nearer sea-level in the tropics, where long-
distance transmission is more difficult than in
the temperate zone, and in some cases the ab-
sorption by these masses is found to be so
great as to leave about one-tenth per cent of the
energy of transmission available. Another ef-
fect of which the cause has yet to be found is
that messages at certain times can be transmit-
ted more easily in an east-and-west direction
than one north and south ; moreover, there are
indications that diffraction takes place. It is
considered that both of these effects may be
due to the shifting of the position of the so-
called absorbing masses, which are supposed to
be the most serious obstacle to transatlantic
transmission.
INCREASED OUTPUT OF COPPER.
The value of the copper produced in the
United States in 1905 was $137,498,727, as
compared with $105,629,845 in 1904. The
product of 1905 was much the largest ever re-
corded in the United States. Exports of cop-
per to Germany, Holland and other coun-
tries continue to increase. During the month
of May, 11,072,320 pounds were shipped to
Germany, as compared with 6,381,340 pounds
in April. Exports to Holland were 14,197,120
pounds in May, an increase of over 1,000,000
pounds as compared with the preceding month.
France took 6,948,480 pounds and the United
Kingdom 5,125,120 pounds, being a consider-
able increase over the previous month's ship-
ments. The Michigan mines produced 20,-
000,000 pounds of refined copper in May,
which sold for approximately $3,760,000. That
was the largest output secured in any month
since copper was first mined in the Lake Su-
perior region. It indicates an annual produc-
tion of 240,000,000 pounds, but an even larger
product is expected as a result of prepara-
tions made by the mine owners to handle a
greater output.
Divorces in Saxony is the subject of a re-
port by United States Consul E. L. Harris
from Chemnitz. About 37,000 marriages were
contracted in the kingdom in 1905, and nearly
4 in every 100 were annulled, the number being
1,341. It is difficult and costly to procure a
divorce, else the number would be greater. It
is claimed that the indirect cause of the great
majority of domestic troubles is the increased
aggravated condition which surround the
Struggle for existence in commercial and in-
dustrial life.

AGED SUEZ CANAL PILOT.
While it was predicted by some that the
United States dry dock Dewey would never he
able to pass through portions of the Suez Ca-
nal, which are only slightly wider than the
great dock, the aged head pilot of the canal,
A. Pappa, knew differently, and it was his
skill and caution which made it possible for
the Dewey to get through the tortuous water
way in such a satisfactory manner, according
to a report of the trip just made to the Navy
Department by Commander 11. II. llosley,
who was in charge of the Dewey and the fleel
which convoyed it.
Although Pappa is very old and was so ill
that he should not have attempted the work,
he assumed full charge of the Dewey's canal
trip. Worn out by the careful watching in
sary to save the dock from destruction, the
old man was under medical attention during
two of the nights the Dewey was in the canal.
He was cared for by the doctors of the gen-
eral manager of the canal, and resolutely re-
sumed his work and directed the tu.^s which
were doing the towing by means of a system
of flag signals, which proved effective.
For many years all ships bearing crowned
heads, members of royal families or other dis-
tinguished persons have been piloted through
the canal by the venerable head pilot, whose
service has been so indispensable to the com-
pany that his proposed retirement and return
to Greece, his native land, are regarded by the
canal officials with extreme regret. A short
time ago the steamer Chatham, loaded with
dynamite, was sunk in the canal and offered
a dangerous obstruction to navigation. Pappa
was the only employe of the canal company
regarded as being capable of steering vessels
around the hidden danger, and he worked con-
stantly day and night until the explosives could
be removed.
Manv dignitaries have showered Pappa with
letters and gifts thanking him for the care and
skill with which he has taken them through
the Suez Canal. Commander Hosley sent the
old pilot a letter of appreciation, and in his
report to the Navy Department the American
officer suggests that some suitable trophy be
given to Pappa by the American Navy in rec-
ognition of his service for the Dewey.
Five steamboats are being built for a Kiel
( German v) shipping company, which are said
to be wholly unsinkable. A recent trial of one
of the boats was carried out in the presence
of representatives of the Imperial navy and
many shipipng firms. The vessel was fully
laden to represent 200 passengers, and it was
assumed that, in consequence of a leak
caused by a collision, the entire engine-room
division, into which water was pumped, had
filled, while a hole was made to the exterior to
admit water freely. The ship accordingly
sank, but when she was full of water she had
still about a foot of freeboard above the sur-
face, thus satisfying the conditions imposed.
Dun's Index Number of commodity prices
proportioned to consumption was $106,794 to
June 1, as against $106,059 a month previous,
and $o8."50 a vear ago. Although the ad-
vance during May was not larc:e, it established
a new high record for over 22 years, and
the miscellaneous class, which is chiefly com-
posed of building materials, rose to the maxi-
mum since 1874. Breadstuff's, meats, dairy
and garden, and other foods show an increase
in prices, while clothing, metals, and miscel-
laneous goods show a decline.

SHIPOWNERS AND THE MAYOR.
A
N INTERESTING EXCHANGE of
communications took place during the
past week between Mayor Schmitz, of
San Francisco, and the United Shipping and
Transportation Association. These letters are
lure published in full, as follows:
The Shipowners' Letter.
To the Honorable E. E. Schmitz, Mayor of the
City and County of San Francisco, San Fran-
cisco, Cal.
Dear Sir: We desire to lay before your
Honor our sincere appreciation of your help in
putting additional police on the water front to
control the unfortunate situation now existing;
that is. the labor disturbance caused by the Sail-
ors' Union. In previous meetings with you, we
told you it was our intention and desire to bring
to San Francisco all the lumber that was requir-
ed for the upbuilding of the city, and we now
place ourselves on record to the effect that we
have not stopped at any effort or expense in or-
der to accomplish this, and believe that we have
faithfully kept our vessels running.
It seems at the beginning of the unsettled con-
dition between the sailors and the owners of the
vessels that it was agreed among the sailors and
stevedores that the sailors would make their
own light and leave the stevedores unmolested.
This agreement seems to have been carried out
to within a short period; the lumber longshore-
men promptly and efficiently handling the
winches and discharging the vessels as they
could find berths at the water front of San Fran-
cisco. All the vessels engaged in the lumber
trade were practically going and coming in their
legitimate traffic, regardless of the much-to-be-
regretted malicious treatment of the non-union
crews of these vessels by members of the Sail-
ors' Union. Later, however, members of the
Sailors' Union made vicious attacks on long-
shoremen who had been running winches, and
by maltreatment, beating up, and intimidation,
these men became afraid to further continue
their work and refused to man the winches.
We then endeavored, as far as possible, to dis-
charge the vessels by hand labor, a method slow,
laborious and costlv, and entirely unsatisfactory.
After a recent meeting of the Lumber Long-
shoremen's Union, we were notified that the
lumber longshoremen would no longer handle
the winches, nor would they allow the owners
to employ men, regardless of union affiliation to
handle the winches. We ask that the lumber
longshoremen would continue to handle the ves-
sels, and in view of the beating up their mem-
bers driving winches had received from the
members of the Sailors' Union, we would fur-
nish men, regardless of union affiliation, to run
the winches, and this they positively declined to
accept, notwithstanding the fact that we had
Conceded to the demands for increased wages by
the Longshoremen's Union for the handling of
lumber vessels. As the result of this action
there are now twenty-seven steam vessels lying
in the stream with full cargoes of lumber, which
we arc unable to discbarge.
We told you bctorc that if we had protection
on the water front we would man our vessels
and deliver lumber to this city. You told us of
your desire that there should lie no violence on
the water front, and that you could not tolerate
the same, and we have acted in absolute accord
with your wishes in this matter and have done
everything in our power to have no disturbance
on the part of our employes, though many of
them have been maltreated. We believe that
you are sincere in your desire to rehabilitate this
city and to see that the contractors are furnish-
ed with all the lumber they require, and consid-
ering the mutual interest you have in the up-
building of the city and our desire to furnish the
lumber, we have formed a stevedore company to
handle our own vessels and we are prepared to
fulfill further statements to you that we will
bring all the lumber that our vessels will carry
and promptly discharge it if you will afford to
the men we have decided to employ on the ves-
sels, regardless of union affiliation, the protec-
tion of life and liberty which the laws of this
country are supposed to afford.
WE, THEREFORE, RESPECTFULLY AP-
PEAL TO YOU AND DEMAND OF YOU,
AS CHIEF MAGISTRATE OF THIS CITY,
THE PROTECTION OF ANY MEN IN OUR
EMPLOY, ASSURING YOU WITH THIS
PROTECTION THAT THERE WILL BE
NO DEARTH OF LUMBER. IF, ON THE
OTHER HAND, THIS PROTECTION IS
DENIED, THERE IS BUT ONE ALTERNA-
TIVE FOR US TO PURSUE, AND THAT IS
TO ABANDON OUR TRADE IN THE LUM-
BER BUSINESS OF SAN FRANCISCO, AND
TO TRANSACT IT WITH SUCH PORTS
ON THE COAST WHERE WE RECEIVE
THE PROTECTION THAT IS DUE US AS
MERCHANTS IN THE LAWFUL TRANS-
ACTION OF OUR BUSINESS. AND THE
PROTECTION OF OUR PROPERTY AND
THE LIVES OF OUR EMPLOY FS.
Requesting that you 'will kindly give us your
prompt decision and reply, we remain,
Yours respectfully,
United Shipping and Transportation Associa-
tion,
By I. HOMER FRITCII, Secretary.
The Mayor's Reply.
San Francisco, Cal., August 16, 1906.
J. Homer Fritch, Esq.,
Secretary United Shipping and Transporta-
tion Company,
Dear Sir: Receipt of your communication of
the 14th inst, relative to the differences existing
between your organization ami the Sailors'
Union is hereby acknowledged.
I thank you for your expression of apprecia-
tion of my efforts to preserve the peace and ol
the sincerity of my desire to do all that I can.
legitimately, to aid in the upbuilding and rehabil-
itation of our city. I certainly believe that I
have done everything in my power to bring
about a peaceful settlement of the industrial
11 your association and the Sail
Union, and regret only that your organization
has not seen fil to meet aj hast half way my well
meant and repeated endeavors to have the de-
plorable conflict between you adjusted by arbi-
tration \s I have on several occasion DO
11 its continuance can mean only ad-

You now apply to me for further police pro;
tion to enable you to continue the industrial war
which is certainly not doing our city any good.
I have already ordered the Chief of Police to
preserve the peace and general order on the
water front at all hazards; 1 have requested him
to detail all policemen necessary to accomplish
that result. He has evidently done s,,. as our
official reports show that notwithstanding the
strike there is less trouble and disaster along the
water front to-day than under former conditions.

I cannot repeat too strongly thai peace will

CORRESPONDENCE IN THE CASE.
Additona! correspondence, following that pub-
lished in the JOURNAL of July 25, concerning
the violations of law by the United Shipping and
Transportation Association, has taken place be-
tween the seamen's union and officials of the
Government. For the information of our read-
ers we publish these letters in full, as follows:
RE. STEAMER ARCTIC.
SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
San Francisco, Cal., July 31, 1906.
Collector of Customs,
City.
Sir: The steam-schooner Arctic, belonging to
the A. B. Hammond Lumber Company, is
to depart from this port with a number of pas-
sengers. Some lime ago the United States Local
Inspectors of Steam Vessels furnished us witli
a list of vessels that had surrendered their pas-
senger licenses, the Arctic being one of them,
and, unless a new license has been granted, it
would seem that she will carry these passengers
in violation of law.
We understand that the men in question have
been hired to work in the logging camps and
saw mills around Eureka, and that no charge is
made for their passage up, but since they are not
members of the vessel's crew, we presume they
would be considered passengers under the law.
Respectfully,
SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC,
Per A. Furuseth, Secretary.
SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
San Francisco, Cal., August 2, 1906.
Collector of Customs,
City.
Sir: The morning papers publish an item to
the effect that the steamer Arctic has applied for
a license to carry passengers from whom no
fares will be collected.
I beg to call to your attention Section 4417 of
the Revised Statutes, as amended by an Act ap-
proved March 3, 1905, to the effect that each sail
vessel of seven hundred tons, carrying passen-
gers for hire is subject to the regulations of
the Inspectors, to show that no such exception
has been made in the case of steam vessels.
Section 4463 of the Revised Statutes was before
the >ame Congress for amendment by insertion
of the words "for hire" after the word "pas-
sengers," but up to this time the section has not
been changed.
I therefore respectfully protest against the is-
suance of any license limited to passengers who
do not pay fares, as being contrary to law.
As stated above, Section 4463 of the Revised
Statutes was before the long session of the pres-
ent Congress for amendment, but the Senate,
having regard to the safety of human life, re-
fused to pass any amendment thereto.
Respectfully,
(Signed) A. FURUSETH,
Secretary.
RE. STEAMER POMO.
SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
San Francisco, Cal., July 26, 1906.
United States Local Inspectors of Steam Ves-
sels,
Citv.
Gentlemen: Your attention is respectfully
directed to the fact that the steam-schooner
Porno last night departed from this port with a
number of passengers.
We have been informed that the vessel in
question some time ago surrendered her passen-
ger license, and it appears to us that she carries
these passengers in violation of law.
The attention of the manager of the company
was called to the matter prior to the V(
departure, and he excused the action on the
ground that no charge was made for the pas-
sage.
If your office should make an investigation, I
shall be pleased to have a number of witnesses
on hand at any time you may appoint.
Respectfully,
A FURUSETH,
Secretary.
SAILORS' UNION OF THE PACIFIC.
San Francisco, Cal., August 4, 1906.
Sir: On July 26th we called your attention to
the fact that the steamer Porno left this port
with a number of passengers, although she had
some time previously surrendered her license to
carry passengers. Last night the same vessel
again went to sea with fourteen passengers,
bound for Albion, Cal.
Our understanding is that it is unlawful for
any vessel to carry passengers unless it shall be
proven to the satisfaction of the United States
Local Inspectors that she has complied with the
statutes and regulations as to crew and appli-
ances, and has been granted a certificate of in-
spection, and we therefore respectfully request
that such steps be taken by your office as shall
compel this and other vessels to obey the law.
We respectfully call your attention to Sections
4400 and 4500 of the Revised Statutes, which pro-
vide a general penalty for violation of the law
as to transportation of passengers.
Information has just been brought to this of-
fice that the steamer Northfork has on board a
number of passengers bound for Eureka, and we
would respectfully ask that this matter also re-
ceive your attention.
Respectfully,

to the Local Inspectors at this port, is, in their
absence at Eureka, Cal., received .it ibis office.
The violation of law you state with regard to

Mr. Andrew Furuseth, Secretary,
Sailors' Union of the Pacific,
San Francisco, Cal.
Sir: Referring again to your letter of the 25th
ultimo, complaining of the inefficiency of the
crew of the steamer City of Puebla, and submit-
ting copy of affidavit of P. C. Petersen, a passen-
ger on the Puebla, witnessed by N. Hansen, you
are advised that the matter was referred to Cap-
tain John Bermingham, Supervising Inspector of
the First District at San Francisco, California,
for investigation.
Captain Bermingham reports that he has in-
vestigated the matter and submits that he has
taken the testimony of the Captain, First Officer,
Third Officer and Chief Engineer of the steamer
City of Puebla on her voyage from San Fran-
cisco, California, to Seattle, Washington, on
June 16, 17, 18 and 19, 1906, who all testified that
they had a full crew on the voyage referred t";
and that the boat and tire drills on that trip were
held three times in four days, whereas the reg-
ulations require such drills to be held once in
each week.
Captain Bermingham reports also that the offi-
cers of the City of Puebla had, in his judgment,
fully complied with Section 4463, United States
Revised Statutes, and the rules and regulations
of the Steamboat Inspection Service.

Gentlemen: I enclose herewith an affidavit
made by Mr. J. J. Boisen, who was a passen-
ger on the steamer City of Puebla on her last
voyage from Seattle to San Francisco.
It seems to us that the statement he makes
that the majority of the crew is unable to under-
stand the English language should be investi-
gated, considering that this is a violation on
the part of the company of Section 4483, United
States Revised Statutes, as construed by the
Court of Appeals in the case of the Rio de
Janeiro, to which we have formerly called your
attention.
As to the other statements, you can easily
ascertain whether they are correct.
Mr. Boisen is at present in this city, and has
declared his willingness to testify in any investi-
gation that you may desire to make.

J. J. Boisen, being first duly sworn, deposes
and says as follows:
I have followed the sea for eighteen years.
I was a passenger on the steamer City of
Puebla from Seattle, State of Washington, to
San Francisco, State of California, leaving Seattle
on July 27, 1906, about 2 A. M., and arriving
in San Francisco, July 29, about 11 P. M.
The deck crew of the said steamer was com-
posed of a number of Japanese, none of whom
could understand the English language, and
three white men. None of the crew understood
a seaman's duties, and apparently had had no
previous experience at sea.
I saw a boy of about 17 or 18 years on look-
out between 9 and 10 o'clock P. M., July 27, and
he reported, in the hearing of a number of pas-
sengers to the officer on the bridge: "A light
on the port bow, on the starboard side."
On the afternoon of July 28, the quartermaster
at the wheel was about three points off the
course, judging from the vessel's wake, and the
first officer left the bridge and took the wheel
and brought the vessel to her course.
Further, affiant saith not.

THE HAUGER OUTRAGE.
The story of the two Alabama boys shipped
as seamen on the Norwegian ship Hanger pre-
sents features of striking interest both from
an official and unofficial point of view. In
this case two boys totally ignorant of sea life,
are persuaded by a negro keeper of a board-
ing house to ship as sailors, offering induce-
ments sufficiently liattering to the boys, and
they accepted the proposition and were shipped
through a Captain Anderson by Captain Dan-
ielsen ,of the ship Hauger. Their presence
on the ship Hauger was discovered accidentally
by marines from the United States cutter
Alert, which had been ordered to the lower
bay to return three boys who had escaped from
an orphan asylum at Evergreen, Ala., ana
believed to be on the ship. After boarding
the Hanger the boys for whom the marines
were searching proved to be not on board,
but the marines found on board one boy, E. C.
Foster, nineteen years of age, of Woodlawn,
Ala., and another, John J. Brewer, eighteen
years of age, of Birmingham, Ala. These boys
were returned to Mobile, accompanied by
Captain Danielsen, of the Hauger. The boys
were brought before the Shipping Commis-
sioner, and after a hearing of their stories,
it was decided that they would have to be
returned to the vessel. The order to this ef-
fect was not put into force, as it was subse-
quently decided to send the boys to the police
station, Captain Danielsen, of the Hauger, it
is reported, having consented to allow the boys
to remain on shore.
The singular feature of the whole affair ap-
pears to rest on the proposition that minors,
children of citizens of the State of Alabama,
may be enticed away from their homes to
serve as sailors on a vessel of a foreign country
and their parents be not possessed of any right
in law to denounce the contract made under
the shipping articles as illegal and void, and
without the right to forcibly seize the boys,
if need be, and return them to their homes.
The boys are minors, and contracts signed by
them, excepting under specific conditions, are
not enforcible against them. If children of
citizens of the State, under the law, can be
induced or enticed to board a vessel to sign
as sailors, thus depriving the parents or guard-
ians of ali rights to possession of the chil-
dren, then it is high time that such a law
should be repealed.
The shanghaiing of adults had become in
the recent past a business so obnoxious that
special laws were passed by Congress inflict-
ing severe punishment upon those engaged in
the conspiracy, and the adult shanghaied re-
turned to his home port and released. There
may lie a legal distinction between shanghai-
ing adults aboard vessels by those engaged
in the disreputable business and the enticing
or the inducing of children to
go aboard vessels by flattering of-
ferings or otherwise, then this legal distinc-
tion should no longer exist. The men engaged
in the business of securing sailors for vessels,
whether foreign or otherwise, should know
that minor children are subject to the wishes
of their parents and guardians, and it should
be the business of the men engaged in the
business to learn whether or not they are
dealing with adults or with minors. If they
are minors, they should know that the parents
or guardians of these minors should be first
consulted and their consent obtained. It is
no excuse to claim that it was not known that
their dealings were with minors. It is their
business to find out. And it is the business
of the Federal, State and municipal authori-
ties to see that prosecution should follow
where such outrages are committed as in the
case of the boys Foster and Brewer.
Bearing upon the case, the law as found
in section 10 (a), tinder section 24 of the Act
of Congress enacted December 21, 1898, is
as follows :
"That it slrill be and is hereby made unlawful
in any case to pay any seaman wages in advance
of the time when he has actually earned the
same, or to pay such advance wages to any other
person. Any person paying such advance wages
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction shall be punished by a fine not
less than four times the amount of the wages
so advanced and may also be imprisoned for a
period not exceeding six months, at the discre-
tion of the court.
"If any person shall demand or receive either
directly or indirectly, from any seaman or other
person seeking employment as seaman, or from
any person on his behalf, any remuneration what-
ever for providing him with employment, he shall,
for every such offense be liable to a penalty of
not more than $100."
This law in connection with the recently
enacted law against shanghaiing and conspir-
acy, should give sufficient ground for the be-
ginning of prosecution proceedings to learn
whether or not the placing of the boys Fos-
ter and Brewer on board the ship Hauger
was not a flagrant violation of the law and
violations of such a character as to carry with
them liabilities of both fine and imprisonment.

POORLY PAID MEN.
During a dense fog recently the steamer
Kanawha, bound to Boston with a cargo of
coal from Norfolk and a crew of twenty
men on board, went ashore at low water on
the northwest side of the broken part of Pol-
lock Rip Shoal. Fortunately the sea was more
than ordinarily smooth over this ocean grave-
yard or the heavily laden craft with her ma-
chinery away aft would soon have had a hole
punched through her bottom by pounding on
the hard rips. In the afternoon there came a
slight rift in the fog and the Kanawha was
sighted from shore by Keeper J. C. Kelley
of the Monomoy Point life saving station and
the Globe observer. The stations are not
manned at this season, but Captain Kelley
immediately launched his dory, and taking
with him one of his former surl'men and a
fisherman, he started for the stranded steamer
to give all possible assistance. The Kanawha
was built at Port Huron, Mich., in 1 902 and
has been in the Atlantic Coast trade two
years.
Old whalemen say they never heard of a
right whale being caught on the western
grounds, where the Atlantic fleet cruise for
sperm whiles, hut the whaling hark I'lalina,
which arrived at New Bedford, Mass., recent-
ly, from a voyage of 30 months, took one there
which made her richer by over $3000. The
Platina's mate, II. II. Jeffers of Cay Head,
Martha's Vineyard, was killed by a whale,
|uly 1, by being crushed by a blow of the
whale's tail. The mate was driven through
the bottom of the boat and was not seen
afterward.
Editor 1 )aily Item :
Seamen ami marine firemen along the water
front are considerably exercised regarding the
importation of nun who are being .sent out
fmm Norway to serve in some of the steam-
ers chartered b) the United Fruit Company.
It is claimed that these newcomers, whose
number is on the increase, are made to sign
a two-year contract before leaving Norway
at a wage scale ranging from $13 to $18 per
month. The men now sailing in these steam-
ers receive $30 as seamen and $40 as fire-
men, which, considering the strenuous and
sweltering nature of their employment, seems
paltry enough. They claim that unless some
means can be devised for checking this source
of supply of labor at such a desperate figure,
the conditions of seafarers in gulf ports will
soon be reduced to a level which will make
it impossible for them to live and move like
civilized human beings.
That owners of vessels which are fully shar-
ing the benefits of American prosperity arc
doing a thriving business in American wat-
ers, earning American cargoes and receiving
American freights should regard themselves
exempt from also paying an American living
wage, seems, indeed, an unparalleled exhibi-
tion of parsimony and greed. Obviously, the
ways by which the United States Immigration
laws may be invalidated are as numerous as
the ways of skinning the proverbial cat. No
sooner have these Norwegian sailors made a
few trips than they learn to distinguish be-
tween their own unfortunate lot and the fa-
vorable conditions prevailing here, with the
result that they leave their ships at the first
Opportunity, and help to swell the ranks of
our local mariners, which, of coiir.se, means a
downward tendency in their wages, and even-
tually a struggle to uphold them with all its
harassing and unpleasant concomitants. It is
the sailors' turn now. If the wedge he per-
mitted to enter it will he the officers' turn
next. — Seaman, in Mobile (Ala.) Daily Item.

vided by law. This is said to be the
first instance of conviction for lynch

The famous seal-poaching schooner Carmen-
cita has been purchased by George C. Beermaker,
of San Diego, and rechristened Acapulco. She
will be put in the guano trade.
It is confidently asserted that the Aleutian El-
ands incident, involving the killing and capture
of a number of Japanese seal poachers, will be
amicably settled without any complications.
Another huge log raft is on the way to San
Francisco from the Columbia River in tow of
the steamer Francis H. Leggett, and is daily ex-
pected to arrive. The raft is 600 feet long, 50
feet in breadth, draws 25 feet, and contains 8,-
000,000 feet of lumber, board measurement.
The United States revenue cutter McCulloch
has arrived at Sitka, Alaska, and been given
telegraphic orders to proceed to Pribyloff Island
for patrol duty. Rough weather has been ex-
perienced by the McCulloch ever since she left
the Coast, some weeks ago.
The bark Servia, of the Alaska Packers' Asso-
ciation, which arrived at San Francisco on Au-
gust 15 with 52,000 cases of salmon, reports a
very good season in the northern canneries.
Last season was an average one, but this sea-
son it is reported the canneries will not be able
to handle the big catch.
The steamer Boveris is due at Seattle, Wash.,
with a cargo of 6,000 tons of steel rails coming
from Nova Scotia mills for use in the construc-
tion of the Victoria, Vancouver and Eastern
Railroad. The rails are turned out at Sydney
(Cape Breton) mills, and bought by the new Hill
line to save duty.
The Pacific Export Lumber Company of Port-
land, Or., has chartered the Norwegian steamer
Jethon, 2,781 tons net register, to load lumber
at that port for a port in Northern China. The
Jethon is now on her maiden voyage from Ant-
werp for San Francisco with a cargo of build-
ing material.
The first spike in the Vales- Yukon (Alaska)
railroad was driven on August 17, in the pres-
ence of a large throng. Valdes now claims the
best wharf and railroad terminal in Alaska.
Rapid progress in the construction <>f the road
is assured. Five miles of the right of way is
graded and ready for the rails.
Saunders, Ward & Co. of Tacoma, Wash., have
chartered the steamer Tampico to carry lumber
from Tacoma to California. The freight rates
to San Francisco and San Pedro are still high,
but will probably decline as soon as the Nome
season ends, when some of the steamers will be
free to enter the lumber trade.
The schooner King Cyrus arrived at San Fran-
cisco on August 14 from Puget Sound. On Au-
gust 5, off Cape Flattery, the King Cyrus was
in collision with the Chilean bark Curzon, both
vessels being damaged. The Curzon had bet-
bowsprit and forefoot carried away, and the King
Cyrus lost her jibboom and foremast.
Wireless reports to Honolulu, T. H., from the
islands of Hawaii, Maui and Hilo report a tidal
wave, the general height of which was live feet.
In the inclosed bay of Maalaea, on the island
of Maui, its height was estimated to be twelve
feet, where it carried away a wharf and its su-
perstructure. The phenomenon was manifest-
ed at Honolulu by an exceptionally heavy surf.
The application of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company for permission from the Govern-
ment to construct a wharf 3000 feet in length
along the Government breakwater, at San Pedro,
Cal., has been presented through the United
States engineer's office to the Secretary of War,
and the engineer's office has sent out notice to
the persons and institutions concerned.
It is not expected that more than 40,000 tons
of sugar will be sent around the Horn from
Honolulu, T. II., during the coming season.
This is not more than a fourth of the amount
shipped each year for a number of years. The
introduction of crude oil as fuel on most of the
Island plantations and the beginning made in
the use of electricity developed from water-
power has already cut down the coal fleet to
very meager proportions and will doubtless cut
it down still further.
Advices received at the office of the Star
Steamship Company, at Seattle, Wash., state
that the steamer Caswell, owned by Captain E.
A. Swift, was wrecked last month on the Sustitna
River, in Alaska. This is the first news of the
vessel received since she departed for thehead-
waters of the river. The Caswell met with an
accident while trying to stem the rapids twelve
miles from the mouth of the river. Her house
had been carried away and little hope remains
of saving her. No lives were lost.
The local Bureau of Immigration has ordered
the deportation of twenty Mexicans who Came
to San Francisco on the Pacific Mail liner San
Jose and twenty-four who came on the Aztec, of
the same line. It was decided that the bringing
of these men by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company on the understanding that when they
reached San Francisco the company might, if
it wished, hire them as sailors was a violation
of the Alien Contract Labor law.
The lumber mills and entire plant of Ste-
phens Brothers at Monroe, Wash., have been
sold to the firm of Wagner & Wilson, lumber
manufacturers of Pennsylvania, for $350,000.
This is one of the largest deals ever made in mill
property. Included in the deal were 1,500,000
feet of lumber in stock, 4,000,000 or 5,000,000
feet of logs in the pond, eight miles of stan-
dard-gauge railroad, locomotive, trucks, donkey
engines, with full equipment for large logging
operations, about 160,000,000 feet of standing
timber, 150 bead of live stock and all the store
and office buildings.
The British steamer Foreric, at San Francisco
on August 18, 82 days from Antwerp, reports
that on June 25 at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, she
sighted a dismasted barkentine which proved to
be the Argentina of Nova Scotia. This was in
latitude 27 deg. 31 min. south, longitude 45 deg.
55 min. west, far off the South American coast.
In a fairly rough sea the Foreric lay by and one
of her boats took off all hands, numbering twelve
persons, including the master's wife. The bark-
entine, which was leaking and rapidly sinking
when the crew were taken off, was set on fire.
All hands were landed at Montevideo on June 29.
The San Francisco Harbor Commission has
granted the petition of the firemen and deck-
hands employed on the State tugboats anil
dredgers, for an increase of wages. Heretofore,
firemen received $80 per month, and deckhands
$70. Hereafter, the scale of wages will be $90
per month for firemen, and $80 for the deck-
hands. The International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers notified the Commission that
the wages of a foreman electrician had been
fixed at $150 a month, and the wages of a
journeyman at $125 a month. The Commission
recognized the rate, and ordered the new wages
to be paid, beginning September 1.
Captain John Bcrmingham, Supervising In-
spector, has reduced the punishment imposed
upon George Curtis, who as first-mate of the
United States lighthouse tender Heather ran in-
to a trestle at the mouth of the Columbia River
on April 27. The Local Inspectors revoked
Curtis' license, but Captain Bermingham has sus-
pended it for four months only, from July 25.
He also revokes the indorsement of his license
made by the Local Board. Captain Berming-
ham finds that, while Curtis was at fault, the
orders he received in regard to the course of
the boat during his watch were vague. He re-
bukes Captain Gregory for not issuing his orders
in writing.
A joint conference of the Canadian Fisheries
Commission, including Dominion Commissioner
of Fisheries Edward Price and Provincial Com-
missioner J. P.- Babcock of British Columbia, and
the commission of the State of Washington, in-
cluding State Fish Commissioner John L. Rise-
land, began at Bellingham, Wash., on August 14,
to discuss regulations of the salmon industry.
The steamer Columbia, formerly on the San
Francisco-Portland route, is at the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco, awaiting the arrival of
a new rudder from the East. The Columbia
was undergoing repairs at the iron works when,
the earthquake occurred on April 18 and was
thrown on her side by the shock. The cost of
repairing all damages has been about $100,000,
and most of this damage was caused by the big
temblor.
The case of Sudden & Christensen versus the
steamer City of Puebla was beard before Judge
J. J. De Haven in the United States District Court
at San Francisco on August 15. The suit is for
$100,000 for services rendered by the plaintiffs'
vessels Chehalis and City of Norwood in towing
the disabled City of Puebla into port in Janu-
ary. On December 31, 1905, the City of Puebla
was in distress thirty-five miles off Tillamook
rocks, on the coast of Oregon, and was picked
up and towed to the Golden Gate by the Che-
halis and Norwood. At the entrance to the
harbor the towlincs parted. While the vessels
were trying to get new lines aboard the tug Re-
lief came along and captured the prize. The
contention of the plaintiffs is, that the cargo of
the Puebla was of such value as to make $100,-
000 only a reasonable sum for towing her to
port. The case will be heard further on August
27-

RUSSIANS IN MEXICO.
A colony of Russians lias settled in the vicin-
ity nf Ensenada, with headquarters at Los
Angeles, Cal., under concession [rom the
.Mexican Government. This colony is given
free entry of provisions, live stock, and farm
machinery for a term of ten years — a little
nine years yet to run. By die terms of this con-
cession 200 families are to he established.
Ahotit one hundred heads of families are now
on the ground. Two years is the limit for
establishing the whole number. The greater
pari came via the United tates, stopped and
found employment at different points, prin-
cipalis Southern California. Each member of
the colony contributes a fixed sum per month
from his wages, which goes toward the pur-
chase of a I5,000 acre tract of land 25 miles
north of Ensenada. The) have this year about
2,000 acres in wheat, which is almost read) for
harvest and promises 20 to 25 bushels per
acre. Enough remain on (lie land to carry on
the work; the rest find employment in Cali-
fornia.
They are from Southern Russia, ami are
Protestants and abstainers from pork. The
colony is prosperous and its success seems to
be assured, and is probably the forerunner of
similar settlements.
DEVELOPMENT IN TASMANIA.
A letter from Hobart, Australia, in the Lon-
don Times, covers the labor and commercial
phases that affect the state of Tasmania. The
many new mines and the horticultural develop-
ment are changing the country from a grazing
and stock-raising region into one of intense
industry. This has brought up the labor (pies
tion, and the demand is heard in Tasmania, as
all over Australia, to "break up the big es-
tates." Tasmania is becoming more produc-
tive; 10,000-ton steamers glide to their berths
in Sullivan's cove week after week and take
up their loads of apples; the once impenetrable
west coast has proved to he full of minerals ;
the rought tiers of the northeast are dotted
with tin mines that show every prospect of be-
coming one of the world's biggest sources of
supply. The course of trade has also altered
since 1900. Hobart shopkeepers used to get
their stocks from London, paving duty on
them into Tasmanian Customs ; now they buy
from Victoria, and the goods bring no Cus-
toms revenue to Tasmania. This creates a
grievance against the Federal Government,
adds the correspondent.
The Greek Government has main- a contract
with the Leghorn Divers' Association for the
recovery of seventy Turkish warships sunk at
Xavarmo by the English, French and Russian
Heels in 1X27. The Turkish ships ate believed
to have carried much money.
The contract also includes a search for the
Roman galleys sunk between Corigo and Can-
dea while conveyinb art treasures from
('.recce during the Latin conquests. The ex
act spot ill which the galleys In is already
known, a Greek diver having recently
brought up a beautiful (heck vase, which
the Government purchased tor 4<h),o(K)

A group of influential Australian mining
magnates has formed a company under the
name of Straits Development Company 1 Lim-

SHIPOWNERS' BLUFF CALLED.
The correspondence between the United
Shipping and Transportation Association
and Mayor Schmitz, of San Francisco, pub-
lished on page i of this issue, indicate the
approach of the crucial stage in the contro-
versy between seamen and shipowners.
Shortly after the opening of hostilities the
Association boasted that it "had the sailors
licked." Later, as the Association began to
realize that the seamen's unions were un-
aware of their defeat and continued to fight
with all the enthusiasm of approaching vic-
tory, it (the Association) struck a minor note
and declared that it would "never surrender
to Furuseth." Now the Association climbs
down still further and notifies Mayor
Schmitz that unless he grants it the use of
the police force it will abandon the trade to
San Francisco. Certainly this doesn't sound
much like the crow of a victor. The plain
fact adduced by the letter of the Association
lo Mayor Schmitz is that the former is at
the end of its rope and is anxious to shoul-
der upon the latter the responsibility for the
"dull thud" that is now impending. Mayor
Schmitz did quite right in refusing to as-
sume the load.
The threat of the Association to leave San
Francisco is as significant as it is senseless.
Tt reveals the real sentiment actuating the
Transportation Association and its proto-
type, the Citizens' Alliance. These bodies
have constantly protested their solicitude for
the welfare of the "stricken city" and as con-
stantly declaimed against the seamen's al-
leged intention to take advantage of the local
situation. Now their bodies tell the city,
through its chief magistrate, that it can go
to the demnition bow-bows. The shipown-
ers are patriotic- — oh, so very patriotic — up
to a certain point.
The present acute stage of the shipping
lockout is due entirely to the fact that the
longshoremen in San Francisco, becoming
tired of being used to fight the shipowners'
battle against the seamen's unions, have at
last determined to attend strictly to their
own knitting, i. e., to do their own work
only, instead of doing both their own and
the seamen's work. The timely and emphatic
reply of Mayor Schmitz to the Association's
request for police body-guards, indicates
that the Mayor appreciates the true signifi-
cance of the latest turn in affairs. As the
situation now stands there is nothing left
for the Association to do but capitulate with
the best possible grace.
SLAVERY ON THE CANAL
The proposition of the Panama Canal
Commission, indorsed by President Roose-
velt and Secretary of War Taft, to import
Chinese coolies for work on the big ditch
is distinctly a plan to establish a state of
slavery in the Canal Zone. That the coolie-
labor scheme is in direct and open conflict
with the Chinese Exclusion and Alien Con-
tract Labor laws can not be seriously de-
bated by any one. Serious as is the pro-
posed infraction of these laws, that phase
of the coolie-labor plan becomes almost in-
significant in comparison with trie funda-
mental atrocity of Slavery which the Gov-
ernment now proposes to establish in a ter-
ritory subject to the jurisdiction of the Unit-
ed States. The particulars of the plan, so far
as these have been made public, leave no
room for doubt as to the effect which will
be produced, whether intended or not. First,
there is the "labor gent," the fellow who will
contract for so many head of cattle (i. e.
cooh'es), who will derive his remuneration
from the wages of the coolies at the rate of
$1 per day. Just how much the coolie will
receive is, of course, a matter of conjecture.
Then, the Government will sec to it that the
coolies are so "regulated" that they will not
"violate their contracts" — that is, that they
won't run away. Finally, those who com-
plete their contracts are to be returned to
China. Presumably, the Government, out of
respect for the religious prejudices of its
"wards," will arrange that the bones of those
who complete their contract with God Al-
mighty before the expiration of their con-
tract with the "labor gent" shall be sent to
China. Oh, yes, the Government will be
very careful not to offend the religious preju-
dices of its slaves. What we would like to
assure ourselves, however, is that the Gov-
ernment will show a little respect for the
national prejudices (to call them by that
name) of the American people. On this lat-
ter point the San Francisco Examiner utters
a true word in the following:
After thirty years of constant agitation and five
years of civil war tlie Thirteenth Amendment to
the Constitution was made part of the funda-
mental law of this country. It reads as follows:
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, ex-
as punishment for crime whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within
tin- United States, or any place subject to their
jurisdiction."
hale information from Washington is to the
that it has been determined by the Admin-
istration to import Chinese for employment in
the digging of the Panama Canal. Objections
were raised that such would be a violation of the
Chinese Exclusion Act. The objections were
overcome by holding that the Canal Zone is not
a part of the United States. The Chinese are to
he imported under contract, which is a violation
of the Alien Contract Labor law. They are to
he placed under bond, presumably not to leave
rial /'Mr, or the particular place to which
they have been consigned — a violation of the
Thirteenth Amendment.
In less than fifty years after the death of Ab-
raham Lincoln and the adoption of this amend-
ment the party that yet quotes Lincoln as its
leader destroys the principle for which Lincoln
struggled and died.
These men are to be imported. They are not
to be permitted to move freely from place to
place. If they shall desert from their master or
the place assigned to them wherein to labor they
are to be pursued, captured and brought back.
For what purpose? To continue to labor against
their will.
The Constitution says in denning the duties of
the President:
"lie shall take care that the laws arc faith-
fully executed"; yet, being placed in absolute con-
trol of the building of the Canal, he violates the
Chinese Exclusion Act by importing Chinese la-
the Mien Contract Labor law at the same
time; and to guard against the evils which all
can see must necessarily tlow therefrom he vio-
lates the Thirteenth Amendment, destroys the
equality before the law, and takes the first step
to re-establish a system of contract slavery or
pc mage."
Concerning the application of the Thir-
teenth Amendment, it is interesting to note
that the United States Supreme Court, in
its decision on the famous Arago case, stated
its opinion that the term "involuntary ser-
vitude" was inserted in that amendment
with the express object of preventing the
use of Chinese labor in a manner amounting
practically to slavery. The plan to import
Chinese coolies for work on the Panama Ca-
nal is repugnant to American law and tradi-
tions. The plan should he universally con-
demned by the American people, as we are
confident it would be but for the assertion
of the Government officials that the Canal
can not be completed without cheap, servile
labor. To that assertion, if it be true, we
can only say: Petter the Panama Canal
shall never he built than that it shall be
built upon the ruins of National liberty. Bet-
ter confess our failure as canal builders than
he forced to acknowledge the failure of per-
sonal liberty. It is reported that the Ad-
ministration has taken the position that "the
Canal must be dug at any cost." We take
the position that the Canal must not be dug
at the cost of re-establishing the "peculiar
situation" anywhere or in any degree under
the jurisdiction of the United States.
Goldwin Smith, at the opening of the Cana-
dian Trades and Labor Congress, at Toronto,
recently, when speaking of "compulsory arbitra-
tion, said:
Arbitration by law, I am afraid, has failed. I
have watched with interest the progress of the
movement in New Zealand. It started well, but
it has failed. The reason for this failure, I think,
is that you can not enforce the awards of the
arbiters. You can not force an employer to pay
more than he can afford. You can not force a
laborer to take wages less than he can get other-
wise. We must fall back upon natural laws, upon
the recognition of the rights of labor and capital.
Another "straw in the wind." Another great
publicist converted from the fetich of prevent-
ing strikes by forcing men to remain at work
against their will and upon the say-so of a
Supreme Court judge. We do not know just
what Mr. Smith means by "natural laws," but
we do know that the only law, natural or un-
natural, which will compel an employer to
treat his employes fairly — to recognize the
rights of labor — is the law of resistance, resist-
ance to injustice. Compulsory arbitration
would displace that law by the mandate of sub-
mission.
While congratulating our fellow workers in
the land crafts upon their success in securing
higher wages, thus enabling them to better meet
the exactions of the merchant and landlord,
we would draw attention to the fact that we,
the seamen, are still struggling for a paltry
increase of sixteen cents ( Sixteen Cents) in a
paltry day's wage of $1.50. However, we, the
seamen, may congratulate ourselves, too, upon
the fact that that struggle is a winning one. He
wins best who wins last.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
THE STAR SPEAKS OUT.
The Star, of San Francisco, true to its
long-established reputation as a forthright
advocate and champion of the public inter-
ests, as against the schemes of private greed
and corruption, has upon more than one oc-
casion since the outbreak of the present dis-
pute between seamen and shipowners, ex-
pressed its conviction of the justice of the
seamen's contention and its condemnation
of the tactics adopted by the shipowners.
This week the Star again speaks out. Re-
ferring to the recent correspondence between
the United Shipping and Transportation As-
sociation and Mayor Schmitz, the Star of
the 18th says :
Probably the meanest, most malicious and
mendacious combination of the several which
are doing all they can to retard the upbuilding
of the New San Francisco, is the United Ship-
ping and Transportation Company.
Because the Sailors' Union asked for a very
slight increase of pay — five dollars per month —
for its members, the Transportation monopoly
has either tied up its vessels or outrageously ad-
vanced freight charges. It has also joined hands
with the lumber lords, and, by false representa-
tions, has led many to believe that the Sailors'
Union alone is responsible for the scarcity of
lumber and the extortionate prices demanded for
the same.
The Star recently published a plain, calm, dig-
nified .statement of the facts, written by a dis-
interested party, which clearly proved the Trans-
portation Company is not only a "conspiracy in
restraint of trade," but a cruel, criminal combine
to mulct and oppress this stricken community.
We know, and regret, that there is such a
thing as the "tyranny of labor," but that excuse
can not be invoked in this case. The sailors did
not, in asking for a trifle more pay, embrace an
opportunity afforded by the great calamity; they
had asked more pay months before. But the
shipowners thought they saw an opportunity to
disrupt the Union by creating public sentiment
against it through the widespread publication of
audacious falsehoods and calumny — particularly
th.it the sailors were responsible for the scarcity
and increased price of building material and for
so many being homeless. (We pause to ask: How
about the sailors? How many of them have
homes? flow many CAN have homes, upon the
starvation wage paid by the shipowners?)
The sailors, at the outset, asked the shipowners
to submit the matter to arbitration, agreeing to
abide by whatever might be the verdict. The
hitler answered: "There is nothing to arbitrate."
And they have ever since stubbornly refused all
overtures for arbitration, thinking to break the
strike with hired thugs and gun-fighters, backed
by public opinion, which, however, is pronounced
against them.
Their latest move was an appeal, this week,
to Mayor Schmitz, for police protection for their
non-union crews, and the open threat that "if
such protection is not granted we will abandon
our trade in the lumber business of San Fran-
cisco."
The Mayor met this wild and woolly bluff
in a way that "warms the cockles" of our hearts,
although the "bluffers" must have experienced an
ice-cold chill. After assuring them that they
would have all the protection guaranteed by law,
and that violence vvould not be tolerated, he
said:
"Your threat to abandon your trade in the lum-
ber business of San Francisco is certainly not
in line with a genuine desire to assist in the re-
building of the city, from which your_ business
has already derived and is now deriving great
profits, and while the carrying out of this ex-
pressed intention will perhaps cause a temporary
interference with the city's immediate progress,
it is possible that other means may be found to
get lumber here, and it is also barely possible
that the deprivation of the profits of the business
for a while might even induce your own mem-
bership to resume the trade for a short interval.
At any rate, the differences between yourselves
and the Sailors' Union, based upon the latter s
demand for a few dollars additional monthly wage,
will certainly not be allowed entirely to destroy
this port, its commerce or the city's rebuild-
ing" . .
If the members of the Shipowners' Association
would but act as they threaten, get off the peo-
ple's back, and seek other fields and pastures
new, we would thus sing their praise:
"True patriots all, for be it understood,
They left their country for their country s
good."
Readers doing business with Journal ad-
vertisers are requested to mention this paper
— even if only to swear at it!
Recognizing the imperative necessity of pre-
serving the people of our State from competition
with Mongolian labor, we declare for the strict
maintenance of the Chinese Exclusion Act, with-
out modification of any kind, and for the exten-
sion of that Act to exclude Japanese and Ko-
reans; further, we pledge our candidates to Con-
gress to work for the passage of a bill which
shall effect this latter object.
The foregoing was recently adopted by the
Japanese and Korean Exclusion League, of
San Francisco, for submission to the com-
ing State conventions of the respective political
parties. The same plank has been indorsed
by the Labor Council and Building Trades
Council, of San Francisco. Each of these
bodies will be represented at the conventions,
with a view to securing the insertion of the
anti-Mongolian plank, thus insuring, so far as
that end can be achieved by party platforms,
that the present Exclusion laws shall be main-
tained and extended so as to effect complete
protection to the people of the West against
the people of the Orient.
The second batch of "Correspondence in
the Case," published on page 2 of this issue
is similar to the first batch — similar both in
the nature of the facts submitted to the au-
thorities and in the reception accorded these
facts by the latter. "Received and filed"
about tells the whole story. However, the
"Correspondence" has accomplished one
thing good enough in itself to-wit: It has
demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt the
utterly unscrupulous methods adopted by
the shipowners in the effort to run their ves-
sels without crews. Persons contemplating
a trip by sea on the Pacific Coast will do
well to be warned against the risks that
necessarily accompany such a venture in
these days.

"If the South wants immigrants she will
have to raise wages to the level that prevails in
the North and West." This was the blunt ad-
vice given to the Southern States Immigration
Commision by Robert Watchorn, Commisioner
of Immigration, at New York. He welcomed
some thirty members of the new organization
to Ellis Island recently, showed them the work-
ings of the place, and told them what they
would have to expect in the attempt to deflect
immigrants toward the South.
"You may think that immigrants come to
this country without knowing where they are
going," said Commissioner Watchorn, "and
that you can get them as they land from the
boats. It is not so. Out of every 400 that come
here 309 know exactly where they are going.
If you try to make them change their minds
by telling them how superior the South is, they
are apt to think you are 'confidence men.' If
you don't believe it, just come downstairs and
sec how many you can persuade to alter their
course."
Some members of the Japanese House of
Representatives recently visited Korea spe-
cially to study the question of cotton culture.
They have returned to Tokyo, and report that
the prospect is hopeful. They assert that, at a
moderate estimate, the annual crop will be
worth about $40,000,000. Japan at present im-
ports yearly from India and elsewhere cotton
to the value of $56,000,000, and should this
forecast of the Korean production be correct,
it will constitute a formidable menace to those
who at present supply cotton to Japan and the
Far East.

F. ('.. Crosby, a son of E. G. Crosby, of
the Crosby Transportation Company, is au-
thority for the statement that his father has
located the steamer Michigan lying in ioo
feet of water about ten miles off the Michigan
shore at a point west of Holland. Notwith-
standing that the steamer has been lying 011
the bottom of the Lake for twenty-one years
the Michigan is said to be in a perfect state
of preservation.
Captain L. G. Crosby has been cruising
about in the neighborhood of Holland for the
past two weeks with two steamers, searching
for the wreck. Two days ago, when in Mil-
waukee, he reported that he bad discovered
something on the bottom of the Lake at the
point indicated by his son which he believed
would prove to be the sunken steamer. Fol-
lowing this comes the report that the vessel
has been found by Captain Crosby, and that
steps will immediately be taken to raise the
wreck.
The Michigan was a twin sister of the
steamer Naomi, which was, at the time of the
disaster, known as the Wisconsin, ami these
two boats ran in the trade between Grand
Haven and Milwaukee, making connections at
the former place with the Detroit & Milwau-
kee Railway. The Michigan, like the Naomi,
was an iron boat and was insured for $250,-
000, which was paid by the companies carry-
ing the risk. As she lies on the bottom of
the Lake she ranks as abandoned property,
and if Captain Crosby succeeds in placing her
in commission she will become the property
of himself and his associates in the enterprise.
The Michigan in 1885 put out to rescue the
Naomi, which was caught in the ice, short
of food, with passengers aboard. The Michi-
gan saved the Naomi but was herself frozen
fast in the ice. The storm continued for a
week, and provisions began to become scarce
among the rescuers.
On the morning of February 17 the mate
reported land. Seventeen of the crew were
selected to try to reach the shore. After a
perilous trip, during which some of the men
fell from exhaustion, the party arrived at a
point known as Clay Banks, a sheer height
of more than kx) feet. The Michigan on
Match 19 went to the bottom, the tug Arctic
having taken off the remainder of the crew be-
fore the vessel went down.
TO LOCATE OLD WRECK.
An expedition left Grand Haven, Mich.,
recently in search of the wreck of the pas-
senger steamer Michigan, which was crushed
by the ice and sunk in Lake Michigan about
twelve miles off Holland, in the winter of
[885: The Crosby Transportation Company is
behind the project to locate and raise the
Michigan if possible. The steamers Crouse
and Trio will be used in the search, having a
thorough equipment aboard to locate the
wreck.
Fishermen who claim to have located the
sunken hulk several times will be taken to
help in the search. Should the lost vessel be
found an effort will be made to drag it into
shallow water so that it can be raised. It is
believed that the wreck lies in about twentv-
live fathoms of water.
WORK BEGUN ON NEW BOATS.
The American Shipbuilding Company has
already begun work on the construction of
lioats, contracted for delivery, next year. The
tonnage contracted for next year has eclipsed
all previous records, but the number of boats
ordered last year to be built this summer was
enormous and it was thought at that time
that the yards would have their hands full
up until late this fall, turning out the boats
which were ordered for this season's deliv-
ery. Some remarkable work has been clone
at the shipyards this year with the result that
now the keel has been laid for one boat, the
order for which was placed this spring and the
date uf delivery given as early next year. A
glance at the schedule for this year shows that
six boats is practically all the tonnage now
left to be constructed. In view of this fact
it is evident that by the first of next year, sev-
eral boats ordered for next year, will have
been launched and a number of others will be
on the stocks.
The work on next year's tonnage was be-
gun by the laying of the keel of the car-ferry
building for the Ann Arbor Railroad Company.
The keel was laid at the Globe yard only a
few weeks ago, and already the construction
work is well along. The new boat will be
-•70 feet over all. 252 feet keel, fifty-two feet
beam and thirty-six feet dee]). Iler loaded car
capacity is expected to exceed that of any
ferry on the Lakes.
TO IMPROVE HARBOR BEACH.
Captain Charles Keller, United States en-
gineer in charge of the rivers and harbors
on the eastern coast of Lake Michigan, in
his annual report asks appropriations amount-
ing to over $4X0,000. Four hundred thousand
dollars of this amount is for work at Harbor
Peach and the balance is for maintenance of
the present improvements.
The proposed work at Harbor Peach con-
sists in the completion of the superstructure
of the main pier and the reconstruction of the
entire superstructure of the north and south
piers. An additionel sum of $30,000 is asked
for dredging, etc., at that point.
A sum amounting to over $13,000 is asked
for maintaining the sixteen-foot channel in
the River Rouge as far up as the Wabash
bridge. Captain Keller also recommends the
extensive improvement of that river in order
to encourage commercial interests to locate-
along its banks.
Lor dredging in the Black River at Port
Huron to overcome the constant shoaling in
the river between the Grand Trunk bridge and
Washington avenue an appropriation of $io,-
000 is asked. At present only boats drawing
fourteen and one-half feet are able to get into
the river.
Receipts of grain at Duluth for the year
mled July 31 show an enormous increase
over the year previous, according to the figures
given by the Duluth Board of Trade. The
receipts of wheat have increased by 70 per
cent., of corn 200 per cent., of oats 20 per
cent., of barley 40 per cent., and of flaxseed
[2 per cent. A correspondingly large increase
is shown in the shipments and stocks on hand
in the elevators.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
LAW STILL VIOLATED.
Some time ago a great hullaboo was
raised by the newspapers, saying that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had instructed that the National
Eight-hour law should be obeyed. President
Gompers was much pleased. All Govern-
ment inspectors would be promptly instructed
by the respective departments to enforce the
law and the workingman would come into his
own. I am not prepared to say that Mr.
Gompers was deliberately deceived, or that
the apparent determination of the Govern-
ment to enforce the law was not in good faith.
But I do say it has not been enforced here.
The Donnelly Contracting Company continues
to work at Government work ten or twelve
hours per day. My request for the reason was
•met by the reply that the Government had
given them permission to break the law.

It is reported that a syndicate of Lake capi-
talists is figuring on a new freighter to be
650 feet long and to be made unsinkable by
the use of compressed air.
During July Detroit Marine Postoffice de-
livered 54,18] pieces of mail to boats and re-
ceived 23,507 pieces, according to the report
of A. J. Bloom, clerk in charge. T'.re num-
ber of passages is reported as 3,159.
Wm. Roberts, formerly Ashland agent of
Lake Seamen's Union, fell from the rail of the
Steamer Jas. C. Wallace at Lorain recently,
and was badly injured. Me was taken to the
Marine Hospital at Ashtabula.
Michael Cosgrove, a seaman on the steamer
Corona, of the P. S. S. Co. fleet, fell into
that vessel's hold atAshtabula on August 4
and was instantly killed. The unfortunate
comrade was buried by the Union.
The first of the six steamers which the New
Ontario Steamship Company of Hamilton,
Out., has ordered abroad will come to the
Lakes in September. The other boats will not
come over until next season. The steamers
will be operated between Montreal and Fort
William.
In receipt of iron ore for one month Ashtabu-
la again set the pace in July, raising the mark
of the best previous record made at that port

Carl Millar, being first duly sworn, deposes
and says, as follow- :
I have followed the sea for ten years. I ship-
ped for the steamer Santa Rosa in Los Angeles,
California, and joined the vessel in Port Los
Angeles on the same date.
The deck crew of the said vessel was com-
posed of twelve Japanese, none of whom had
any knowledge of the English language, except-
ing one man, who acted as interpreter, and who
transmitted the orders of the officers to the sea-
men, and fifteen white men. None of the said
Japanese were seamen, and of the white men but
two understood the most ordinary duties of a
seaman. All, with the exception of the said two
men, were sea sick on the voyage to San Fran-
cisco.
No fire or boat drill was held on the vessel
during the passage from Port Los Angeles to
San Francisco.
The vessel arrived at this port about 2 P. M.
on August 2, 1906, and I left her here.
Further the affiant sayetb not.

Alexander Lind, being first duly sworn, de-
poses and says, as follows:
I have followed the sea for eighteen years. I
shipped as (|uartermaster on the passenger
steamer Umatilla at Seattle, Washington, for San
Francisco, California, and return, on July 31,
1906.
The deck crew of the said steamer was com-
posed of eight men, only one of whom had had
any previous experience at sea, and four quar-
termasters, twn of whom knew their duties, one
who knew the compass and was able to steer in
some kind of fashion, and one who does not
know neither the compass nor any of his other
duties.
There was a fire drill held on the said vessel
on the voyage mentioned, but the watch below
was not called on deck. 'flic crew had to be
shown how to put on the life belts, before
were able to teach the passengers bow to put
them on. There was no boat drill held during
the voyage.
The men who were supposed to keep lookout
forward did not, in most instances, know enough
to strike the bells.
Further the affiant sayetb not.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Pays Private "Specials."
The City Council, acting on the recommenda-
tion of the police and license committee, Wed-
nesday night, voted to pay the policemen and
watchmen appointed by Chief of Police Christen-
son during June. Councilman Hite protested on
the grounds that private, watchmen should be
paid by the men who used them. The remain-
ing councilmen thought otherwise and the bills
(amounting to $320.50, for 18 "specials,") were
allowed.
While acting as watchmen in the above ca-
pacities some of these "specials" were actively
engaged in getting men to work for the com-
panies whose property they were guarding. The
Posl has already published an affidavit showing
that Brownlee, the corn doctor, while wearing
the star of a special police, was acting as em-
ployment agent for the steamship companies,
yet the city pays him during this time. This
man had his star taken from him for being drunk
and disorderly and last week was relieved of a
big gun by Officer Searles. Brownlee had a
number of counterpart - among this list of "spec-
ials." 'fhe taxpayers of the city certainly, are
interested in the above items of expense. — Grays
Harbor (Wash.) Post.
"Comparisons Are Odious."
San Francisco Plumbers obtained a raise of $1,
to a scale of $6 per day, and stricken San Fran-
cisco, (lid not demur. The Bricklayers of the
same city had their wages raised from $6 to $7
and $8 per day, voluntarily, by the employers.
fhe members of these two unions work but
eight hours per day. The sailors work or are
"on call" practically every one of the twenty-
four hours. Their union has called them out
on strike to obtain a raise in wages to $1.65 per
day. These comparisons ought to convince
every one, not already convinced, that the Sail-
or--' Union strike is a just one. — Seattle (Wash.)
Union Record.
United States Consul-General J. 1\ Bray
sends from Melbourne the findings of t lie Old-
Age Pension Commission appointed by the
Australian Government. They recommend that
such pensions be provided throughout the
Commonwealth, the maximum to be $2.43 per
week, which, it is estimated, will require -$7,-
299,750 per annum. The Commission recom-
mends that an Old-Age Pension bill be intro-
duced into Parliament carrying out their
plans.
Indoor pauperism is said, in the British of-
ficial record, to have grown rapidly in Eng-
land and Wales since 1900. During the last
eleven years the cost of indoor relief has in-
creased .So per cent, while the increase in the
number of paupers lias been only 36 per cent.
The annual cost of maintenance per head in-
creased from about $65 in 1895 to about $</>
in [905. There bad also been a large increase
in the average cost of maintenance of work-
bouse inmates.
Consul L. Edwin Dudley writes from Van-
couver t B. C.) that a local company some time
ago purchased the otter trawl steamer Celes-
tial Empire in England and has brought her
through the Straits of Magellan to that Brit-
ish Columbian port, where she has been over-
hauled. The vessel is now about to make her
first trip to the halibut banks. This will be the
first vessel to catch halibut by the otter trawl ;
heretofore they have been taken by the trawl
fishermen in dories.

A CHECKERBOARD ROMANCE.
The adage that true love knoweth no bar-
rier and overcometh all obstacles has just re-
ceived additional force and romance by the
story of Carl Janssen and his wife, Victoria
Janssen, who, between them have succeeded
in smashing — for the moment — every vestige
of color line and have demonstrated to the
world that the great devotion of a womanly
woman, though she be a negress, may serve
to soften deeprooted racial prejudice and wipe
out — momentarily, at least — the stigma attach-
ing to the mingling of the races.
The resolution and pluck of the wife are
admirably supplemented by the moral cour-
age of the husband, who in a State and among
a people frowning disapproval, openly and
joyfully welcomed back his faithful com-
panion.
The story of the couple's separation, strug-
gle to get to the United States to live and
final union in Quitman, Miss., last week reads
like a novel. Down in sun-scorched Belize,
in British Honduras, Carl Janssen, a Russian
Finn and a carpenter by trade met and loved
a native woman as dark almost as a full-
blooded American negro. The two were mar-
ried some thirteen years ago and lived for
eight or nine years in Belize. In 1902, with
their four boys, they went to Progresso, Yu-
catan, in the hope that the husband could get
more work. Up until last October the farm
ily lived as happily as possible, but work failed
and Janssen decided to come to Alabama, se-
cure work and send back money for his wife
and children. He landed in Mobile from the
steamship Vueltabago in October and, secur-
ing work, wrote back to his wife in Progresso,
who was washing and ironing, to try to make
a living, while the little boys blacked shoes.
Nothing more was heard from Janssen for
four months, and in April Victoria Janssen
packed all her belongings in a trunk and two
sacks and, with her four children, ranging
in age from 3 to 1 1 years, set out to find her
husband.
They went from Progresso to Vera Cruz,
and there the Russian Consul collected $100,
all he could scrape together to help them on
their way. At Laredo the immigration au-
thorities admitted them to the United States
and they went on to San Antonio. Still work-
ing and making what little money she could,
the anxious wife left San Antonio for Gal-
veston on July 3. Here they stayed thirteen
days. The negro churches took up collections
for them, and kind-hearted people secured
cut-rate tickets for the little family to New
Orleans. From New Orleans they came di-
rect to Mobile, arriving here Tuesday, July
17. For seven or eight days the woman, aided
by the police, to whom she went for help,
searched all over Mobile for her husband.
Finally she heard somehow that he was at work
in a mill at Quitman, Miss., and went at once
to that place. There she found Janssen just
up from a month's sickness and dumbfounded
at seeing his wife and children, whom she be-
lieved to be in Progresso, Yucatan. His joy
at seeing his wife and children was only
equalled by theirs.
Janssen seemed really and truly distressed
when informed that they could not live to-
gether in the State of Alabama, and stated
that he would take his wife and family to
some State the laws of which are liberal
enough to allow their devotion to take its
legitimate course.
The one comical incident in this little ro-
mance occurred at the Federal building at Mo-
bile, where Janssen and his family awaited
the final disposition of his case on the part of
the Immigration authorities. A police officer
said to Janssen: If this is really and truly
your wife let us see you kiss her. Whereupon
Mrs. Janssen — taking the initiative — at once
clasped her Carl in a fervent embrace, im-
pressing upon his willing lips a series of rous-
ing smacks, the detonation of which went
a-bounding through the corridors of the build-
ing. "Well, now," she said, "don't you think
he is my husband?" Whereupon the amused
bystander guessed that he must be.
ANOTHER BIG SHIP ORDERED.
Edward D. Carter, the well-known vessel-
owner of Erie, has closed a contract with the
American Shipbuilding Company for a freight-
er of 9,000 tons capacity. The new boat,
which will cost $335,000, will be ready for
business at the opening of navigation next
spring.
She will be a duplicate of the steamer Ed-
ward D. Carter, which was turned out at the
Wyandotte yard of the American Shipbuild-
ing Company this year. She will be 524 feet
overall, 504 feet keel, 54 feet beam and 30
feet deep. The new boat will have triple ex-
pansion engines with cylinders 22 1-2, 36 and
60 inches, with 42-inch stroke. Her boilers,
which will be the Scotch type, will be 13 feet
9 inches in diameter and 11 1-2 feet long. The
boilers, which will be fitted with the Ellis &
Eaves draft, will be allowed 180 pounds pres-
sure.
It hasnot been decided at which of the Com-
pany's yards the Carter boat will be built.
This order makes nineteen freight steam-
ers that theAmerica n Shipbuilding Company
has closed contracts for this year.
After a three-hours' battle with a fire re-
plete with sensational features, which origin-
ated in the hold of the Metropolitan line
steamer H. F. Dimock, lying at the Summer
street, East Boston, wharf, recently, the fire-
men found it necessary to secure the assistance
of three tugboats in order to pump out the
water which for a time threatened to swamp
the vessel. Immense quantities of water were
poured in to reach the blaze, and it was this
that caused the steamer to list and for a time
place those on board in a dangerous position.
The Dimock arrived from New York with a
general cargo, and is in command of Captain
Baker. The damage will reach into the thou-
sands, but as yet it is impossible to name the
exact figure.
Before the steamer Bostonian of the Ley-
land line left her dock at East Boston recently,
the officers and the crew were richer in more
ways than one. The Life Saving Association
of New York had heard about the crew's he-
roic act on the high seas on March 1 1 in pick-
ing up the crew of the wrecked British King
in a tierce storm and bringing them safely to
Boston, and awarded the officers handsome
gold medals suitably inscribed, and to the crew
bronze medals. The crew are highly pleased
with the gifts, but said one: "If we didn't
get anything we should be just as pleased; it
was our duty to pick them up; they would have
done the same thing by us."
fapan exported matting in 1905 to the value
of $2,543,498, a considerable increase over
1004, but less than was exported in 1902. The
United Stales took 90 per cent of the total
amount exported.
LARGEST DOCK ON LAKES.
With the rebuilding of No. 1, it is claimed
that the Great Northern docks at Allouez will
have a total storage capacity in excess of any
series of ore docks at the head of thel.akes by
several thousand tons. It is also claimed that
it will again give to Superior the name of
having the largest ore dock in the world, since
it will be seventy-three feet above the water
line and 2, 24 4 feet in length. This is the height
of the new Missabe dock and considerably
longer.
The new No. i dock will have a total of
374 pockets, with a capacity of about
270 tons each. On the basis given the total
capacity of the dock would be about 100,980
tons. This tonnage excels the next largest dock,
No. 2, by 6,480 tons, and its length will be
144 feet greater, with twenty- four pockets
more than the former biggest ore dock in the
world. The details as to No. 2 are as fol-
lows: length, 2,100 feet; pockets 350; storage
capacity, 94,500 tons. For the enlarged No. 3 ;
length, 1,956 feet; pockets 326; capacity, 88,-
020 tons. The tonnage in every instance is
only approximated, and it is claimed that it will
run much higher in actual experience.
It is said that the cost of the new dock will
be several hundred thousand dollars. It is
to be completed by the opening of navigation
next spring.
WIDENING SAULT RIVER.
Bids for the widening of the Sault River
above the locks were opened recently in the
office of Colonel C. E. L. B. Davis, United
States Engineer at Detroit. The lowest bid
was made by the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock
Company, which offered to do the work for
the sum of $552,530. This is for the entire
work, including excavating, cribbing, concrete
work, etc. The next lower bid was that sub-
mitted by the Great Lakes Construction Com-
pany, whose figure was $625,860. All the
other bids were considerably higher. This
work, which will be the most extensive done
by the Government in some time in that dis-
trict, consists of widening the west approach
of the Poe lock for a distance of 5,000 feet
It is stated that the lowest hid was about $ioo,-
000 lower than the estimate placed on the
work bv the Government engineers.
The Commissioner of Immigration has ex-
pressed his belief that during the year ended
June 30 the number of immigrants admitted
exceeded 1,000,000. In the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1905, the number admitted was 1,-
026,499. Austro-1 Bulgarians predominated
last year, with Italians and Russians close sec-
onds. ( )f the total arriving at New York 31
per cent settle in New York State, principally
in the city, 20 per cent in Pennsylvania, and
5 1-2 per cent each in New Jersey and ( )bio.
The ever-increasing dimensions of war ves-
sels has led the German Government to con-
clude to widen the Kiel Canal from 60 feet to
I30 feet, and the width at the surface from
[30 feet to 350 feet. The proposed improve-
ments, it is estimated, will cost nearly $50,-
000,000.
The name of the Ellsworth Transportation
Company has been changed to the Pennsyl-
vania-Ontario Transportation Company and
the capital stock of the company has been in-
creased to $375,000.

The New South Wales Labor Bu-
reau reports that labor is scarce in
Mime of the country districts owing
to the good wages earned by rabbit
trappers.
The New South Wales Railway
Commissioners have added 6d. per
day to the wages of casual tramway
employes who have served for eight
een months.
Tom Mann says that 5000 male
wage-earners are out of work at the
present time in Melbourne, and that
50,000 people in Victoria are existing
below poverty line.
Unskilled workers — wheeler-, trap
pers, drivers, etc.— in the Newcastle
( New South Wale-) district coal
mines are demanding increases in
wages, and, in most instances, have
secured same.
What London radical newspapers
hail as the first Step towards gi
rid of the Chinese as "miners" in the
Transvaal mines, is the action of the
mineowners in engaging unemployed
whites at /S. fid. per day.
In reply to the request of the Syd-
ney (N. S. W.) Labor Council, the
Minister for Labor promised to in-
troduce an amending Early Closing

ployes in hairdressers' shops a week-
ly half-holiday.
Tom Mann was recently promised

that he would submit to the Cabinet

the co-operative principle, with pro-
vision for skilled supervision, should
be introduced into the Improved
Small Holdings Bill.
Regarding the establishment of a
Department of Labor in Queensland,
Premier Kidston states that the pres
ent Labor Bureau will he enlai
and worked on different lines. The
new department is to he a big I
try office, so as to circulate as much
information as possible concerning
the demand and supply of labor.
On July 4 about 130 men and boy
employes, many of them members of
the Tobacco Operatives' Society,
went on strike at the British-Austra-
lasian Tobacco Company's factory,
at Sydney, N. S. W„ because the
bosses were endeavoring to break
existing working conditions by in-
troducing low-wage female labor in
place of men.
The New South Wales branch of
the Federated Seamen's Union of
Australasia has fixed up an industrial
agreement with three of the coastal
shipping companies, by which about
400 seamen will receive certain con-
cessions, including 10s. a month in-
crease in wages, special rates of pay
for sailing on Sundays and holidays,
and on all Sundays and holidays time
off from midnight to midnight. Step
are being taken to bring the other
coastal shipowners into line.
The Royal Commission on the
Victorian (Australia) coal industry
recommends the appointment
Wage Board to frame conditions,
terms, and rul nployment
to settle all d between
mine employes and the managers,
with the right of appeal to a Judge
if the board is unable t"
satisfactory settlement. It also ad-
vocates that the minimum wage for
,,t and capable miners be not
less than 8s. 4<L per shift of eight
hours.
In Mackay, Queensland, unem
ploj - il \\ bite men looking for sugar
itly arrested for
camping on Municipal Council prop
crty. sixteen of them were each fined
is. and 2s. 8d. costs, or forty-eighl
hours' jail. Tiny complain of being
treated barbarously while in the lock-
up, nine of them being "huddled to-
gether without anj . a- the
blankets only served for un
venience," and they "were in that
plight fur over twelve hours, their
lee,- screwed up like fowls at a poul-
terer's."
At the annual meeting of the New
South Wal.- Pastoralists' I'nion,
President Wingen Abbott alleged:
"The earnings of machine
shearers in the sheds last year was
15s. per day of eight hours, which
was a higher rate than was paid to
any other workman in the world."
I I,, ures omit to state the im-
nt fact that shearers do not
six months' employment in the year
from the pastoralists. \- a matter
of fact many of them don't average
much more than 15s. per week all
the year 'round.
At a meeting of the New South
Wales Tobacco Operatives' Union
recently it was decided that the union
take up the matter of the dispute at
the British-Australasian Tob
Company's Sydney factory, and ask
ether factory employes to assist the
strikers. The union secretary said
that there were men winking for
that firm to-day who had been there
from ten to thirty years, and were
receiving only 30s. a week. Latest
information is that the company
claims that the strike is "practically
ended, all the vacancies caused by
the strikers having been filled."
During the hearing in the Arbitra-
tion Court of the New South Wale-
Milk and lee Carters' application for
their award to be made a common
rule, the union secretary claimed that
the demands of the men would com-
pel the employment of additional
labor. This, no doubt, accounts for
the extraordinary opposition shown
to the men's claims by the employ-
ers, and all the influential authori-
ties and scientific bigbugs they wen-
able to round up to give evidence
nst the men.
Stunu bey. nid endurance by the

Organized labor of Boston, Mass.,
is discussing a project to erect a
monument to George E. McNeill.
The National Association of Em-
ploying Lithographers recently de-
clined to grant a conference to the
national officers of the Lithograph-
ers, Artists, Engravers and Design-
ers' League of America on the "Open

John McMackin, former State La-
in >r Commissioner of New York,
poisoned himself at his home in Liv-
ingston Manor, N. V.. on August 13.
Mr. McMackin drank from a bottle
supposed to contain medicine, but
which was filled with oxalic acid
crystals.
All the strikers on the Mexican
Central Railroad returned to work on
August 13. They got an increase in
pay, but no other concessions. Mexi-
can Consul Mallen says there is ab-
solutely no danger from an uprising
in Mexico, as his Government is pre-
pared to protect all foreigners and
natives alike.
Acting United States Attorney-
General Charles H. Robb on Au-
gust 17 rendered an opinion to
the effect that Mexican laborers
could not be imported into Texas
under contract work on railroads,
State and other public construction
work, and that the men heretofore
mi admitted must be returned.
Scores of applications for informa-
tion concerning tin proposed Gov-
ernment contract for 2500 Chinese
laborers have already reached the
Isthmian Canal Commission, and in-
dications are that hundreds of per-
sons are planning to make bids for
this contract in the hope of realizing
a small fortune from it.
Leads K. Marr, the suspended sec-
retary of the International Order of
Telegraphers, who has obtained a
temporary injunction in the St. Louis
courts restraining the order from
proceeding with the trial of charges
against him, charges his suspension
to Spitework on the part of certain
members of the Hoard of Directors.
It is "conservatively estimated"
that 20,000 more men than can be
supplied will be needed to push
along the railroad construction work
and harvest the crops between Min-
neapolis and the Pacific Coast. Two
thousand men are sent from Minne-
apolis every week by the "labor agen-
cies," and probably 500 will go out in-
dependently.
The fifty-second annual convention
of the International Typographical
Union opened at Colorado Springs,
Col., on August 13. Three hundred
delegates were present, representing
46,000 members. The chief business
before the convention was the con-
sideration of plans for further carry-
ing on the fight of the union for an
eight-hour day. The organization
has expended up to date $800,000 in
conducting this fight.
With the declaration that the fight
for the eight-hour day is practically
won, the fifty-second annual conven-
tion of the International Typograp-
ical Union has voted to reduce the
strike assessment from 10 per cent to
8 per cent of the wages of employ-
ed printers. At this time 38,960 mem-
bers are working eight hours, 2556
are under the nine-hour contract and
4709 are on strike. The expense of
the strike to date has been approxi-
mately $1,600,000, all of which, with
the exception of $47,000, has been
contributed by members working
under undisturbed conditions.

THE STREET CARMEN'S STRIKE.
SAN FRANCISCO has long been known as a
city of surprises in matters industrial and
political. A review of that city's history
during the past twenty-five years presents a scene
of kaleidoscopic variety, the changes in which are
not only numerous and rapid, but also revolu-
tionary. The observer of these changes might
easily imagine himself standing upon a great
height, while the events of modern civic life are
marshalled before him, as in a play. No need to
delve into musty tomes for the record of man's
various enterprises in the field of municipal gov-
ernment and industrial regulation. That record
lias been reproduced, almost in its entirety, in the
recent history of San Francisco, and may be
found in the current literature of the city. If
mankind, ancient or modern, has ever, at any
period or in any place, done or attempted any-
thing that has not also been done or attempted
within recent years in the City by the Golden
Gate, the fact can only be explained by lack of
time in which to repeat the experiment in the
latter place.
At the present moment San Frmcisco affords
the world another example of her variety in the
form of a street carmen's strike. Affairs of the
kind are by no means uncommon; but the circum-
stances of the strike in question give it a character
peculiar to itself — that is, to San Francisco. As
is well known, that city is just recovering from a
calamity without parallel in the history of the
world. The process of recovery has been at-
tended by a great deal of labor and inconvenience
on all hands. Some classes have suffered to a
greater degree, and in a more personal way, than
others. Among the classes that have felt the
pinch most keenly, both in the matters of loss
and recovery, the street carmen are conspicuous.
Transportation facilities, always a matter of ne-
cessity to the people of any city, are an impera-
tive requirement of travel and communication in
San Francisco, the more so in the existing condi-
tion of that city's thoroughfares. When street-
car accommodations were first resumed, after the
great fire, the event was hailed by' the people as
the first ray of hope for the future. In the nature
of things these accommodations were meager, a
condition which still exists, not, however, in the
nature of things, but in the greed of the corpora-
tion which monopolizes the service.
Those who could squeeze into the cars rode
and rejoiced. The discomforts — and dangers — of
the street-car service were forgotten, or tolerated,
amid a general sentiment of gratitude for small
mercies magnified by great misfortunes. Of
course, the burden of the street-car service fell
upon the street carmen. These men worked and
sweated as never did Trojan or hatter. For
four months this sort of thing continued, without
a murmur from the street carmen, and also, be it
noted, without a sign of approval or gratitude on
the part of the United Railroads Company. That
corporation, instead of rewarding its employes
for the additional labor imposed upon them, has
done everything possible, it would seem, to ag-
gravate the condition of the latter. The street-
car service, although slightly extended, has be-
come comparatively worse, so far at least as the
street carmen are concerned. Strikes have been
precipitated in other branches of the service,
caused in part by an act of bad faith, and, for the
rest, by defiance of ordinary business rules, on
the part of the corporation. All this has tended
to increase sufferings of the public and to exhaust
the physical endurance, not to say patience, of
the street carmen.
The street carmen now demand $3 for a day's
work of eight hours. These terms have been
refused, and the men have quit work. The re-
sult is that the citizens of San Francisco are
to-day plodding up and down the desolated hills
while the Street Carmen's Union and the United
Railroads Company go through the old perform-
ance of determining whether the interests of the
workers or of the stockholders shall predom-
inate.
Both time and events since the calamity of
April l8 suffice to enable the United Railroads
to settle the question of increased compensa-
tion for its employes, without further delay.
The demand of the street carmen is justified, not
only by the greatly increased labor required of
them, but also, and equally, by the increased
of living. Employers in other industries
have not been slow to recognize the general
tendency, and to conform thereto by propor-
tionately increasing wages. President Calhoun
was doubtless well aware of (his tendency, as
well as of every other feature of local conditions.
That official, although aware that the linemen,
firemen and construction workers employed by
the United Railroads Company have been on
strike for several weeks, to the great detriment
of the traveling public and delay in resuming
service, has deferred his return to San Fran
until confronted by the complete mi |
of the street-car traffic. Now that President
Calhoun has arrived on the scene, lie takes his
stand, not Upon conditions as they exist, but
upon the agreement entered into with the men
at a time when conditions were entirely dil
cut, and when the change that has taken pi
could not possibly have been anticipated
The attitude of President Calhoun argues
either Utter inability to grasp the equities, and
even the ordinary common sense of the situa-

REGARDING WATER-PLANTS.
Do water-plants draw their nutriment
from the bottom, through their roots, or
directly from the water? Some plant-organ-
isms that live in water have no roots; these
live directly on the mineral substances in
the water and serve as food for fish. They
are small and simple and are sometimes
called collectively "phytoplankton." Fish
do not eat the rooted plants, hence if these
also live on the substances in the water, they
reduce the amount of fish-food and should
not be allowed in a lake or pond stocked
with fish. This question has been studied
recently by an American botanist, Mr. R.
II. Pearl, who finds that most rooted water-
plants draw nourishment chiefly from the
ground through their roots, though at least
one species gets it from the water and hence
is objectionable in a fish-pond. Says me
Revue Scientifique (Paris, June 23) in a no-
tice of 1'earl's work :
"We may distinguish two groups of rooted
aquatic plants — those that emerge from the
surface and those that remain submerged.
Both live at the expense of the soil. It has
often been asserted that the submerged
plants get their nourishment from the water
and that their roots serve only to anchor
them. Bui this statement has hitherto nei-
ther been proved nor disproved. The ques-
tion is an important one, for if these plants
get their nourishment from the contents of
the water, they must exhaust, during their
whole period of growth, the food-reserves
of the phytoplankton. On the other hand,
if they live on the soil and not from the wat-
er, not only will they not exhaust these re-
serves, but they will enrich them, since by
their decomposition the mineral substances
that they contain will be freed in the water
and placed at the disposal of the phytoplank-
ton. According to the mode of life of these
plants, therefore, they are either very use-
ful or very injurious to the growth of fish.
We may say at once that, according to the re-
searches of Mr. Pearl, they are useful. They
live not from the water but from the soil, and
at their depth they add to the mineral sub-
stances in the water.
"The absorbent organs of terrestial plants
are the rootlets, or hair-like terminal
branches of the roots. In the laboratory we
may cause the number of these to vary con-
siderably by varying certain conditions.
They are delicate organs that are produced
only when needed by the plant. These are
terrestial plants without rootlets, but these
are rare. Aquatic plants, which have been
supposed to be without them, have them.
Rootlets are necessary to them. The proof
is that these plants grow normally only
when attached to a favorable soil. They
even need a good soil ; a soil of sand or clay
is not satisfactory. They can not live on
water alone; they must draw the necessary
nutritive elements from the soil. Lacking
this, as we find by experiment, they lack
potash, phosphorus, nitrogen, when com-
pared with others that are rooted to the
bottom. Certain plants need to be rooted
more than others; the water-crowfoot needs
it relatively little. In the ground it grows
36 per cent beter than in the water. But
the Elodea grows 340 per cent better and
the I'otamogeton (pond- weed) 480 per cent.
We conclude that rooted aquatic plants, in-
stead of being injurious to fish, are neces-
sary, especially those that have been men-
tioned, since they enrich the water with
mineral substances from which the fish-food
profits. On the contrary, the Ceratopnyrrum
( hornwort) is injurious. It lives on the salts
in the water and competes with the fish.
It has been directly proved that a lake full
of hornwort is poorer in fish-food than those
which have none of this species." — Literary

SPEED OF ATLANTIC LINERS.
While it would be erroneous to say that
the attainment of high speed in steamships
was a simple matter where this is the domi-
nant clement in design, it will be accepted
that it is relatively more difficult to get a
high speed when provision has to be made
for carrying cargo, especially when the ca-
pacity involves a filling out of the lines of
the ship. And yet it is of primary import-
ance in most services to secure revenue from
0 in order to balance the financial ac-
counts. Some facts relative to the trials re-
cently of the Canadian Pacific Railway Com-
pany's Atlantic liner Empress of Ireland
are interesting from this point of view.
There is a steady flow of passengers eastward
to the fertile Dominion, but on the home-
ward run cargo must be carried to make
the voyage pay. The passenger is influenced
in the choice of ship by speed, which is dif-
ficult of realization where large capacity has
to be provided within a hull limited in di-
mensions to suit docks. The Empress of
Ireland was designed to be 570 feet long
over all, or 550 ft. between perpendiculars,
65J4 ft .beam, and 48 ft. draught. But it was
required of the 'designer that he should pro-
vide capacity for 6,500 tons of paying cargo
on a draught of 27 ft. 6 in. This necessitated
a co-efficient of fineness of 0.68, as compared
with 0.55 in some of the high-speed liners ;
and yet with such full lines a speed of 19J4
knots was desired. These were difficult con-
ditions, but the Empress of Ireland carries
400 tons more cargo on the draught than
that demanded, and when down to her mean
service load draught she can steam twenty
knots with the twin quadruple-expansion
engines running at 81 revolutions and indi-
cating 18,000 horsepower. This is a per-
formance which is gratifying as a commer-
cial and shipbuilding success, and does credit
to ihi' designer, Dr. Francis Elgar, and the
builders, the Fairfield Shipbuilding & En-
gineering Co., Glasgow. The vessel, in addi-
tion to the cargo, has accommodation ror
1,540 passengers and crew. Long experience
as to the expectations of passengers has en-
abled Mr. Arthur Tiers, the chief of the ma-
rine department of the progressive "C. P.
R.," to introduce many interesting details in
design, and these we shall describe when
later we illustrate this vessel. — Engineering,

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Ship-Owners' Dream.
By their own action the ship-owners have con-
fessed that their object in the present fight is to
smash the sailors' union. It has been frequently
asserted that the ship-owners have already lost
enough money on the strike to pay the increase
asked for a number of years to come. Some may
have doubted this statement, and no one but the
ship-owners themselves and the Citizens' Alliance
behind them know just how much the fight has
been costing them up to the present time. But
last Monday they made an open confession that
"spoke louder than any words could have done
when they granted 1800 stevedores an increase
of ten cents an hour for both straight time and
overtime. Here is something which a school-
boy can figure:
This increase means eighty cents a day more
wages than before, and whenever overtime is
worked the additional pay over what has formerly
been paid will be in the same proportion. This
will amount to from $20 a month up of straight
raise in the wages of these men. Yet the ship-
owners could not afford to pay an increase of
five dollars a month to the sailors.
Labor rejoices over the easy victory of the
stevedores, as it always does whenever a body
of workers wins. The increase in the cost of
living in San Francisco and the arduous rush of
work on the waterfront inevitably accompanying
the handling of material for rebuilding San Fran-
cisco fully justified the stevedores in making the
demands they secured so readily. But the same
is equally true of the sailors. Many of them have
their homes in San Francisco, and they feel
the brunt of the increase in the cost of living
and other necessities of life as keenly as do any
one else. They have not had a raise in wages
for many years, although the prices of everything
a sailor needs has been steadily advancing. Yet
they are refused an increase amounting to only
one-fourth of the increase granted the steve-
dores on demand. Not only are they refused, but
thousands of dollars are spent to enforce that
refusal. The welfare of the public is ignored.
The war against the sailors' union shall be fought
to the bitter end, regardless of the effects on the
general public.
Why this determined, this united and uncom-
promising effort on the part of the organized
forces of capital to down the sailors' union in
this case regardless of cost? Thev certainly have
an object, and it is well for every worker on the
Pacific Coast to be wide awake to what that
object is. The Citizens' Alliance and all the
affiliated organizations have decreed that the
sailors' union must be smashed. It stands in their
way and prevents them from reducing wages and
treating the sailors like slaves and chattels. Worse
than this, the sailors' union threatens to compel
them to pay more wages than they have been
paying, and such an insult to the "captains of
industry" must be severely punished. The union
must be dismembered and rendered ineffective.
The sailors must be taught to "keep their
places"; to be meek and servile; to obey without
making complaint, and to accept what the ship-
owners in their infinite wisdom see fit to give
them and, whatever it is, be thankful for it.
And here the vision of the Shylocks enlarges.
When the sailors' union is put out of commission
the stevedores will come next. They, too, shall
be dismembered and made to bow low before
the Imperial Highnesses of the ship-owners and
their Citizens' Alliance backers. Then they shall
be made to pay back the increase that is granted
them now, and they also shall pay dearly for
every act of sympathy they have shown the
sailors. If the stevedores don't like it they will
then have the sacred privilege of quitting. With
sailors and stevedores disposed of, the portent
union of woodsmen and millmen just rising on
the horizon can be easily smashed to smithereens,
and the other unions now dominating San Fran-
cisco and other sea-coast towns will join the
general rout.
On, on, Mr. Shipowner and Citizens' Alliance
backer! This is big game you are after. What
though it cost millions? It is well worth the
price. When you succeed you will be complete
master of the situation. Labor will be your ser-
vile hireling and will come at your beck and call
like willing slaves. They will submit because
they must. You will have them where you want
them. Yes, and you will be master — absolute and
immovable master — with no labor unions to an-
noy you. What a paradise of conditions this will
be! Your millions are as nothing! So great a
victory would be cheap at billions!
But alas! Your hopes are but a dream which
won't come true. You, Mr. Union Smasher, are
attacking an invincible foe. As yet the forces
of labor are not so thoroughly united as are those
of capital, but they are rapidly becoming so. The
sailors and longshoremen may have their differ-
ences, but when it comes to the advanced stages
of the present fight they and all unions will unite,
and then millions and billions will avail nothing.
The union smashers and their cohorts may sit
proudly and arrogantly in their saddles now, but
if they are not careful how they proceed there
will be no ship-owners left to tell the tale a few
years hence. — The Labor News, Eureka, Cal.

MOBILE CRIMPS ACTIVE.
The revelation of the manner in which two
boys from Birmingham were beguikled into
taking service on a foreign ship sailing from
this port, following closely on the acount of
the shanghaiing of a farmer in a vessel sailing
from Pensacola, shows that the vigilance of
the authorities has been relaxed and crimpers
are again in action at the gulf ports. While
Major A. J. You, of the Immigration depart-
ment, was on duty in this district the sailor
boarding-house clan were kept within legal
bounds, but the old evils have returned and
sailors are not the only victims. It seems in-
credible that two boys who had not even seen
a ship before, much less sailed in one, could be
placed aboard a vessel and accepted by the mas-
ter, but this happened at Mobile last week, and
the youths were taken from the vesesl by the
United States Authorities. It is announced
that prosecution cannot be instituted in the case
because of insufficient evidence.
In the Pensacola case, a farmer who had
never been aboard a ship in his life, was sent to
sea by a sailor boarding master and made a
voyage in a sailing vessel to a Continental port,
where he was discharged from the ship. He
suffered much privation before he managed to
reach England, and there he was cast into
prison as a tramp. Finally he interested a
charitable organization, and his fare was paid
to this country. Relatives assisted him home
from New York. He was gone one year and
his family mourned him as dead. This is one
instance of many where men have been shipped
in sailing vessels by "crimpers" while intoxi-
cated or drugged, and have suffered great hard-
ships before returning to their homes. A year
ago a case arose in New York, wherein a resi-
dent of Mobile sued a ship's captain who had
carried him to sea from Gulf port against his
will. This man was drugged and assaulted by
sailor boarding-house runners before being
placed on a ship where he was brutally ill used
for several months.
If the collector of the port at Mobile had not
thwarted the attempt to carry off the two Birm-
ingham boys, they would have had similar ex-
periences of hardship, if not brutality, before
they regained American soil.
A boarding-house runner who has served
time in the penitentiary before, was convicted
and sentenced in the city court this week for
assaulting two men whom he had endeavored
to palm off as seamen on a ship's captain. The
captain refused to take the men, and they were
assaulted because they came ashore where the
runner and another "crimp" were standing
guard to keep them aboard, this vigilance being
the result of the runner or someone by whom
he was employed, having advanced notes for
the men which would not be paid if they did
not sail in the ship. These advance notes are
the curse of the sailor's calling and the bones
over which the vultures ashore fight. The
United States Government has made them ille-
gal, but all foreign vessels give them, and as
long as the system lasts sailors will be robbed
and landsmen will be shanghaiied, especially
where the authorities are as lax as they appear
to be in Mobile.
The local police and sheriff's officers could
do much to stop the malpractices of sailor
boarding-house attaches if they would. It is
understood that men charged with vagrancy in
the inferior criminal court arc turned over to
sailor boarding-house runners who promise to
find them work. The intention may be good,
but the result is an encouragement to fraud
and robbery. It is fraud to place a man who
knows nothing about a ship aboard a vessel as
an able seaman ; and the runners who take
prisoners out of the inferior criminal court, or
from any other court, are carrying them off to
be robbed. Tf the robbery is not accomplished
in one way it is in another. The story of the
boys from Birmingham will show the ingenuity
of the "crimper" to get hands on the advance
note and .keep out of the penitentiary.
The police will probably say that they have
no jurisdiction; that maritime cases must go
before the United States courts, but it was
shown during the past week that when tele-
grams were received here calling for the arrest
of the boys who had run away from the Bap-
tist Orphanage at Greenville, and even after
the arrival of one of the boys in Mobile and
an appeal to the police department to assist her
in finding him, the department did not move,
although the report had been received that two
boys answering the descriptions were on a ship
and about to be carried out of the country. The
boys on the ship were not the boys wanted,
but they have mothers who grieve for them as
the mother of the orphan grieved, and it is a
satisfaction to know that the promptness of
the United States officials when they were ap-
prised of the case, prevented the outrage that
would have left two mothers sad, while a
boarding-house keeper and a slop chest dealer
divided the price of their sons' slavery. — Mo-

LAUNCHING BY ELECTRICITY.
The Lighthouse Board is preparing to spend
about $200,000 this summer on lighthouse
and ship-saving devices along the New Eng-
land coast. Orders have gone forth from
Washington to begin operations. The projects
are: Light vessel off Nantucket Shoals, $115,-
000; fog signal station, Baker's Island, Sa-
lem harbor, $10,000; light vessel to replace
the Hen and Chickens light vessel, $100,000,
of which $50,000 in available immediately ;
keepers' dwelling at Stonington, Vt., $6000;
light and fog signal station at Isle an Haut,
Me., $14,000.
When the American liner New York docked
at New York recently, she brought details of
the rescue of the crew of the Norwegian hark
Undal on July 19. Eleven men were taken
from that vessel by a boat's crew of the New
York. It was in latitude 41.20, longitude 53.3.
The Undal was bound from St. John, N. B.,
to Newport, with a cargo of seals. The ves-
sel was in a water-logged condition and was
liable to sink at any moment. The crew were
worn out from constant labor at the pumps.
Twelve hundred girls between the ages of
9 and 20 years, members of the Neckwear Ma-
kers' Union, of New York, have gone out on
strike. Two weeks ago a contractor is said
to have slapped one of the girls in the face
and tore her shirtwaist in what he described a
"friendly scuffle." The union imposed a fine
of $25 on the contractor. He refused to pay
and the strike is the result.
The launching of the new British battle-
ship Agamemnon, which took place on June
23 at Dalmuir, Scotland, was marked by the
use of ingenious new mechanism. In particu-
lar, that the old type of dog-shores was re-
placed by an electric arrangement, connected
to a series of interlocking levers, which
lease the triggers that hold the vessel until
the signal is given that all is read) for launch-
ing. Says the writer :
"Two separate triggers were placed on each
side, each fitted with magnetic repl) gear to
indicate on the launching-platform that the
mechanism had worked satisfactorily. The
whole gear was controlled by means d a mini-
ature steering-wheel and standard placed on
the launching platform, and so adjusted that
when the Countess of Aberdeen, who per-
formed the ceremony, gave the wheel one
complete revolution, the triggers were re-
leased, and the vessel was free to run down
the ways. A powerful hydraulic ram
placed at the forward end of the sliding w
on each side of the vessel, the cylinders be-
ing coupled to the same supply-pipe to insure
equality of pressure. These ranis were for
the purpose of giving the vessel a start if
she had not moved directly the triggers were
released; but in this instance they were un-
necessary. The drags for checking the way'
on the ship after she had successfully taken
the water were formed of chain cables; three
piles being arranged on each side to come into
play at suitable intervals. The total weight
of drags employed was about <k>o tons, and
their action in bringing the ship to rest was
in every way satisfactory. The total time
taken from the start until the vessel was ac-
tually clear of the ways was 1 minute 51 sec-
onds."
The writer says further :
"The particular berth upon which the Aga-
memnon was built was specially prepared for
the laying down of a vessel of the largest and
heaviest type, great care having been taken
in the piling of the area. Nearl) 1.000 pitch-
pine logs, each 40 feel long and 1 _' inches
square, were driven vertically into the ground,
with cross ties 011 their tops, the total quantity
of timber used in the preparation of the berth
amounting to about 8o,000 feet." Literary

The steam-schooner Navarro has been sold by
Geo. D. Gray & Co. to Hobbs, Wall & Co.
J. F. Scherr, formerly with the Kosmos line,
is now in charge of the steamship department of
Grace & Co.
The cruiser Marblehead has been detained at
Mare Island, where she will be repaired instead
of at Puget Sound, as at first intended.
The Standard Oil ship Astral, now at Hono-
lulu, has had her charter canceled and is free.
She may come to San Francisco for a charter.
Captain John Darrah has been given command
of the Spreckels tugboat Dauntless. Captain John
Tropp, late master of the tug Transit, is master
of the Spreckels tug Alert.
It is reported that the French bark Marechal
de Villais, which left Antwerp a short time ago,
bound for Oregon, collided with the steamer
Ruegal and was forced to put back to Antwerp
for repairs.
An agent of a London shipowners' syndicate
has completed a contract with the Mexican gov-
ernment to establish a line of steamships between
the Pacific ports of Canada and the west coast
ports of Mexico.
The Transportation Oil Company's barge Son-
oma, loaded with oil at Port Harford, caught fire
on August 22 from a gas explosion in the galley.
It was finally controlled after two hours. The
loss is considerable.
Twenty-seven days from the Kuskokwim river
and seventeen days from Unimak pass, the
schooner Wing and Wing, Captain Forest, ar-
rived at San Francisco on August 23, bringing
thirty-nine packages of furs and eighteen barrels
of salmon.
A log raft containing 8,000,0000 feet of lumber,
board measurement, was brought to San Fran-
cisco on Aug. 23 by the steamer Francis H. Leg-
gett. The raft is said to be in good condition,
not a single pile escaping on the way from the
Columbia river.
It is announced that the daylight steamers from
San Pedro to San Diego will probably begin the
service on the first of next month. One steamer
will be used at first, the run being made on alter-
nate days, though it might be possible to make
the round trip daily. Two steamers will eventu-
ally compose the line.
Major John Bollinger, quartermaster, has been
relieved from duty in the office of the quarter-
master general of the army and will proceed to
San Francisco and relieve Major Carroll A. De-
vol, quartermaster in charge of the general depot,
quartermaster's department, and as general su-
perintendent of the army transport service, by
September 30th.
Captain James Rennie, formerly in command
of the Mariposa and Australia, sailed on the Ven-
tura to take charge of the big dredging s"teamer
Pacific, now at Honolulu, and which is to be de-
livered at San Pedro. It is likely that the Pacific
may be chartered by Captain Metcalf to assist in
saving the liner Manchuria, in which case Captain
Rennie will have command of the Pacific there.
According to advices received at Victoria, B.
C.| from Carmanah Point, one of the lifeboats of
the wrecked steamer Valencia has been discov-
ered in a cave near there with eight skeletons in
it. The boat was found by two boys of the light-
house keeper at Carmanah Point, who says that
the Indians knew of the presence of the lifeboat
months ago, but said nothing, as they wanted to
get the boat.
It is reported that the Barneson-Hibberd Co.
is to put the steamers Olympia and Orizaba on
the Portland-San Francisco run as soon as the
Nome season is over. The Oregon Railroad and
Na-igation Company has had control of the Port-
land trade for a number of years, but lately the
service given by the steamers Costa Rica and
Barracouta, now on the run, has been very slow
and unsatisfactory.
The building erected by the Fishermen's Union
and the Marine Firemen's Union, on leased
ground at 91-93 Steuart street, San Francisco,
has been completed. Secretary Hylen of the
Fishermen's Union has already established him-
self at his new office, No. 93 Steuart street, near
the corner of Mission street. The Firemen will
occupy their new headquarters, No. 91 Steuart
street, during the week.
The Pacific Mail line Manchuria, Captain
Saunders, ran on a reef off Rabbit Island before
daylight on August 20, 1906. The passengers
were taken ashore. It is said that the position
of the liner is unfavorable for early floating. The
Manchuria is one of the largest steamers cross-
ing the Pacific; she was built in 1904 at Camden,
N. J., and has a gross tonnage of 13,639, and a
net tonnage of 8,750. She is 600 feet long, with a
breadth of 65.3 feet, and a depth of 31.1 feet.
Captain H. B. Robertson of Portland, Or., is in
New Westminster, B. C, looking for a suitable
site to erect the cradle for an immense log raft
to be built on the Fraser river and towed to
Panama to fill contracts entered into with the
Panama Canal Commission. Puget Sound logs
will be used, as British Columbia logs cannot be
exported, but the Frazer river has been selected
as the site for building the raft, as it is essential
that the logs be kept in fresh water as much as
possible and thus avoid the ravages of the teredo.

Los Angeles and Long Beach to discharge the
-team-schooner Coronado, which arrived on the
17th with a cargo of lumber for the Crescent
wharf. Specially appointed police officers from
Long Beach guarded the wharf for about 300
yards and admitted no one but those sent to
work the vessel. Forty men employed in the
Southern California Lumber Company's yards
were let out on the 18th because they refused to
discharge or handle the lumber from the Coro-
nado.
The steamer Twickenham, which arrived on
August 23, from Soerabaya, Java, with 6,500 tons
of sugar for the British Columbia Sugar Re-
finery is ashore at San Juan island, two miles
trom Koache harbor. Her forepeak is full of
water. The Twickenham is held fast by the
bow which is badly damaged, and the forehold
is full of water. The sugar in the hold has been
destroyed. A tug and scows have been sent from
Tacoma, and as much as possible of the cargo
will be lightered at once. As the Twickenham
lies in American waters it was necessary to se-
cure permission from Washington to permit the
Canadian wrecking steamer Maude to work. The
steamer Salvor was sent out to assist the Maude.
The Treasury Department has received a brief
report of the visit made by the officers of the
revenue cutter Perry a few weeks ago to the new
peak which sprang up on Fire Island, one of the
Bogoslov group of the Aleutian Islands, about •
sixty miles west of the town of Unalaska. Alaska.'
The southern end of Fire Island consists of two
long spits from a half to three eighths of a mile
in length, and about fifteen feet above high water.
On the western spit the new volcanic peak has
sprung up, rising abruptly from the water to a
height of about 700 feet and in shape resembling
a monster bee hive, with a base about 900 feet in
diameter. From numerous crevices in columns
steam and sulphurous fumes continuously rise and
form a cloud which is visible for more than thirty
miles. Although the surface of the new peak
was warm and soft in places, the officers suc-
ceeded in reaching the summit. In recognition
of the fact that the office-s of the revenue cutter
Perry were the first persons to visit the new
peak, they named it Perry Peak.
An experiment which will mean much for the
Mare Island navy yard if successful will be tried
in a few days. For a number of years past the
silt from the Sacramento river has been settling
in the Marc Island channel, and the Government
has gone to considerable expense in dredging
each year. The yard authorities hit upon a plan
to do away with the costly dredging. This was
the construction of dykes along the channel which
would cause a much stronger current, and would
therefore deepen the channel by stirring up this
silt and carrying it away. The dykes did this
work all right, but not fast enough to suit the
authorities, so a large float was ordered construct-
ed to assist in deepening the channel. This barge
or float has several powerful pumps on board
with pipes attached that reach to the bottom of
the bay. When the tide starts to run out the
pumps arc started and the sediment below is
stirred up and carried away. Such work, aided
by the dykes, will soon make Vallcjo harbor one
of the finest on the Coast.

LOCKOUT IN SAN PEDRO.
The United Shipping and Transportation
Association has transferred its attention
from San Francisco to San Pedro. Having,
after nearly three months' strenuous effort,
recognized the futility of its attempt to
"break the unions" hy frontal attack, the
Association has undertaken a flank move-
ment upon the unions' agencies in Southern
California.
The circumstances of this latest move are
characteristic of the Association's methods.
In a word, that body, being itself unable to
defeat the seamen's unions, has repeated the
attempt to force those shipowners who are
friendly to the latter to break with them
as a measure of self defense.
A general lockout was precipitated in San
Pedro on August 20, caused by the mandate
of the dock and lumber yard owners of that
port, that the longshoremen must agree to
work non-union vessels or quit their jobs.
The Longshoremen's Union, of San Pedro,
has. since the inception of the struggle, taken
the position that its members shall not work
vessels carrying non-union crews. In view
of this attitude the Association has kept its
vessels away from San Pedro, in the hope
of securing victory by concentrating its ef-
forts upon other ports. That hope having
failed, the Association determined to try the
mettle of the men in San Pedro.
The non-union steam-schooner Centralia
was sent to the southern port and taken from
dock to dock in that harbor by way of test-
ing the real spirit of the longshoremen. As
the Centralia tied up at each dock, all the
men employed in the vicinity, longshoremen,
yardmen, millmen, etc., were marshaled
alongside and ordered to go to work on the
1, or "go for their time." It was a great
bluff, and as such was promptly "called."
Every man in the harbor quit work. To
be exact, out of about 400 men involved in
the test, only one man remained at work.
The animus of the attempt to compel the
nun of San l'cdro to work the Centralia is
quite clear. That move was simply a de-
liberate challenge to the longshoremen to
make good their declaration against working
non-union vessels. In other words, the
longshoremen were challenged to exercise
their right to refuse to work under condi-
tions obnoxious to them, with the alterna-
tive— the only alternative — of surrendering
that right and thereby confessing that their
declarations on the subject were merely so
much empty talk. In accepting the chal-
lenge and making good their declarations the
longshoremen did just what self-respecting
men who mean what they say were required
to do — no more and no less.
Of course, the lockout at San Pedro has
had an effect other than that of demonstrat-
ing the earnestness and stamina of the men
in that port. The refusal of the Associa-
tion's allies in San Pedro to permit the union
longshoremen to work on any vessel lying
at their(?) docks except upon agreement
to work all vessels, non-union as well as
union, has had the effect of temporarily ty-
ing up the fair vessels. This effect was
probably anticipated, and in fact intended
by the Association. In this light the tac-
tics of the latter constitute a blow at the
fair shipowners, delivered with the obvious
motive of forcing the latter into the fight
against the seamen's unions and thus bring-
ing about a general tie-up of commerce on
the Pacific Coast, an object which the As-
sociation has aimed to accomplish through-
out the whole struggle.
The fair shipowners, however, are not
likely to be dragooned into such a position.
1 Hspite the temporary inconvenience caused
by the San Pedro lockout, the fair shipown-
ers doubtless recognize that their interests
are better served by the maintenance of
peaceful relations with the unions than by
taking part in the Transportation Associa-
tion's campaign to "bust-up" these organiza-
tions. At any rate, the seamen will do every-
thing in their power to protect their employ-
ers from injury as a result of the situation
created in San Pedro by the lockout of long-
shoremen. The longshoremen themselves,
being apprised of the real object of the lock-
out, will do everything in their power to
frustrate that object.
The plan of the Association to force a
general fight has so far been checkmated
by the unions, with the result that victory
for the latter becomes every day more cer-
tain. The seamen's plan of confining the
area of conflict within the smallest possible
limits, having been proved successful, will
be strictly adhered to until the end. Mean-
time the Association's allies in San Pedro
will do the best possible in the circum-
stances, with the aid of cheap (i. e., ineffi-
cient ) Cholo and Russian labor. Those ship-
owners who like that sort of labor, or who
are powerless to protest against it, will con-
tinue sending their vessels to San Pedro.
On the other hand, those shipowners who
don't like that sort of labor (and these con-
stitute a large majority of the shipping in-
terests) will keep their vessels away from
the Harbor City until the clouds roll by.
The signs of general disintegration in the
ranks of the United Shipping and Transpor-
tation Association continue to increase and
multiply. The clearing of the sailing ves-
sel situation in Grays Harbor, Wash., is
but one of numerous developments in the
recent past that indicate quite plainly which
way the wind is blowing. If any reader of
the Journal should hear a dull thud one of
these days, he or she will know just what
has happened. At any rate, the sound should
not be mistaken for the premonitory symp-
tom of an earthquake.
LABOR DAY REFLECTIONS.
Labor Day! The day upon which wc
celebrate man's progress toward industrial
liberty. The day upon which, in the time
now rapidly approaching, we shall celebrate
the achievement of Liberty full and com-
plete.
Liberty dawned upon the world with the
rise of the Star of Bethlehem and has de-
scended to us in two forms, the religious
and the political. It remains to complete
the progress of man's emancipation by es-
tablishing that most essential of the forms
of liberty, the liberty of labor.
Liberty! The theme of the philosopher,
the song of the poet, the battle-cry of the
soldier, the prayer of the martyr! Liberty,
religious and political, has been won, but
industrial liberty, without which the achieve-
ments of the past are but so many forms
or promises of liberty, remains within the
womb of Time. Let us aid the process of
delivery by fitting ourselves to nurture and
protect that blessing when it is bestowed
upon us.
On Labor Day we rise above the dust
and din of battle in order to review events
in their true perspective. It is well, how-
ever, that we avoid a flight into cloudland,
where only the birds, the angels and the
gods can see or hear us.
The significance of Labor Day is as wide
as the application of labor itself. Every
man who lives by the work of his own head
and hands may find in that occasion some-
thing of solace for the wrongs of the past
or present and something of hope for the
rights of the future.
The labor movement speaks for all the
workers of the land, without reference to
class or craft, by virtue of the right that
inheres in organization. If the unorganized
workers must speak for themselves, they
are indeed dumb. If their employers must
speak for them, they are doomed.
Organization is Nature's first law. The
unorganized men in any calling are to philos-
ophy as are the meteors to astronomy; they
shoot adown the heavens, coming no one
knows whence and going no one knows
whither. Their sole function in life's scheme
is to exemplify the thought of energy with-
out force, of motion without direction.
The organization of the workers, being
coeval with the institution of master and
servant, will endure while that institution
lasts. Organization is necessary as a means
of solving the labor problem, and it will
always be necessary as a means of maintain-
ing and perpetuating justice when once
achieved.
As we must work to live, so the conditions
under which wc work determine all other
conditions of life. The labor movement, by
reason of its concern for the conditions of
employment, is therefore the most important
of all movements.
The labor problem originated with the
first man who was compelled to work for
another and to divide the product of his la-
bor in return for the privilege(?) of employ-
ment.
Labor, being a natural condition, should
be a pleasure, not a hardship. In a just sys-
tem of industry men will begin the day's
work with a song and end it with a benedic-
tion.
The time will come when the idler, irre-
spective of class or social standing, will be

regarded as we now regard all other species
of criminal.
The time will come when the employer,
instead of being the benefactor of society,
will be its beneficiary, when he who would
secure '"help" must seek it as a favor to
himself, not hire it as a favor to others.
The "right to labor" and the "right to
life" are convertible terms. The man who
is doomed to idleness is doomed to death.
The man who lives in idleness, lives in
crime — the crime of living upon the labor of
others.
The Roman poet who said, "Laborare
est Orare" (Work is Worship), voiced the
true ideal. Every anvil rings a song of praise
to the Creator. Every field and workshop is
a Temple of the Lord. Let us preserve the
one from discord and the other from dese-
cration.
The injunction placed upon our first par-
ents, that they should eat their bread in the
sweat of their faces, was a blessing, not a
curse. Those only are cursed who eat their
bread in the sweat of other men's faces.
All labor is equally honorable. The dif-
ference between labor performed with a pick
and with a pen is largely a matter of indi-
vidual adaptation — the difference between
men's physical endowment. Who would
undertake to allot the relative honors be-
tween Burns the poet and Burns the plough-
man? The fact that fame attaches to the
poet, rather than to the ploughman, argues
nothing, except that fame itself is largely
a matter of printer's ink.
To speak of labor as a "class" argues con-
fusion of thought, confusion of the differ-
ent classes of labor. Productive labor being
the first condition of human existence, the
only "class" distinction that may rightly be
drawn lies between those who work and
those who do not work. The former con-
stitute the people as a whole; the latter con-
stitute the only real "class" and are entitled
to no consideration in any scheme of indus-
trial relations.
The Sage of Chelsea has divided mankind
into three classes :" Workingmen, beggarmen
and thieves." Those who disclaim the hon-
or, or deny the insult, of being workers,
must choose between the other two classes.
Moses was the first labor agitator and
Pharaoh the first employer to insist upon
"running his own business." The followers
of Moses are everywhere in evidence to-day,
while those of Pharaoh, as we know, are
to be found mainly in the museums of an-
tiquities.
There is no "royal road" to justice in the
economic plan. There is no "magic carpet"
upon which labor may take its stand and be
wafted to elysian heights. Labor must work
out its salvation in patience, forbearance and
intelligence.
The "rights of labor" are, in the last ex-
pression, the right to live. As no man can
live without labor, so no man ought to be
denied the opportunity to labor. Corres-
pondingly no man ought to be permitted to
live upon the labor of others.
Abraham Lincoln said: "Labor is the su-
perior of capital, and deserves the higher
consideration." We might go further and
say with perfect truth that capital without
labor is absolutely powerless. One might
as well sow a field with sand as with gold.
One might as well wave a wand or utter
an incantation over the ruins of San Fran-
cisco as strew the streets of that city with
money. It is only when touched by the
vitalizing hand of labor that capital becomes
useful in growing crops or building houses.
Labor is the most potent form of capital,
a fact which would be more generally recog-
nized but for the circumstance, or incident,
that it is perishable. Capital in the form of
labor must be constantly employed, or its
owner, the laborer, will die; it can not be
held for investment upon the most favor-
able terms. Only by organization can the
laborer conserve his capital and thus secure
the best possible returns upon it.
TRANSPORTWORKERS MEET.
The fifth biennial convention of the In-
ternational Transportworkers' Federation
was held in Milan, Italy, June 25-28. There
were present twenty-three delegates, repre-
senting sixteen organizations, with a mem-
bership of 252,341. Out of thirteen differ-
ent countries having affiliation in the Fed-
eration but nine countries were represented
at the convention. The following countries
were not represented: United States, Bel-
gium, Norway, and Portugal.
Considerable delay and difficulty was ex-
perienced in the translation of the docu-
ments and resolutions submitted for action
by the convention. The reports of the Sec-
retary and the Executive Board dealt at
length with the organizing work and the
general agitation carried on since the Am-
sterdam convention.
Satisfactory progress was reported in the
general condition of the transportworkers of
all countries. The Executive Board was
again instructed to give particular attention
to the organizing work among the seamen
of Europe. The affiliated longshoremen and
harbor workers were urged to assist in the
work of organizing seamen, particularly in
countries where organization among seamen
is weak or non-existent. Renewed efforts
will be made to bring about the affiliation
of the seamen's unions of North America
and Australia.
Secretary H. Jochade was re-elected by
unanimous vote, and will, after January 1,
1907, devote his entire time to the Federa-
tion. The Secretary's office will remain in
Hamburg, Germany, from which place is
issued the bi-monthly official organ of the
Federation. The next convention will be
held in Vienna, Austria, in 1908.
The foregoing has been gathered from
European exchanges. The printed proceed-
ings of the convention will arrive in a few
weeks, when further details of the interna-
tional movement will be published in the
Journal.
Labor Day will be celebrated by the trade-
unionists and their friends in San Francisco
in a manner worthy the great occasion.
The building trades unions will parade in
full force, afterward crossing the Bay to
Shell Mound Park. The unions affiliated
with the Labor Council will, in view of the
condition of the city's streets, confine their
demonstration to literary exercises and a
ball, to be held in Turn Verein Hall, 353
Turk Street, beginning at 8 p. m. Addresses
will be delivered by able speakers, and a
most enjoyable time is assured all who at-
tend. Every trade-unionist and friend of
labor should make it a point to aid in mak-
ing Labor Day an eventful epoch in a mem-
orable year.

MORE NEW ORDERS.
GREAT LAKES
William A. and Captain Arthur H. Haw-
good recently closed a contract with the
American Shipbuilding Company for a 10,-
ooo-ton freighter, making the second order
for a ship of that class that they have placed
with the local firm this year. The new boat,
which will he built at the South Chicago yard,
will cost $410,000. According to the terms
of the contract, she will be completed and
ready for business April 15, 1907.
The big steamer, which will be an up-to-date
freighter, will be 552 feet over all, 532 feet
keel, 56 feel brain and 31 feet dee]). She will
have triple expansion engines and Scotch
boilers. The first steamer ordered by Messrs.
I Iawgood, which will be of the same dimen-
sions, will be built at the Superior yard. They
will have eight first-class steel steamers next
season.
This order makes twenty freight steamers
that the American Shipbuilding Company has
under contract for delivery this fall and next
spring. The steamers James S. Dunham and
William !■'.. Fitzgerald, which are being built
fur Captain Denny Sullivan of Chicago, will
come out late this season. In addition to the
bulk freighters the American Shipbuilding
Company has contracts for a sidewbeel pas-
senger steamer, a car-ferry, a wrecking tug
and lighter. The passenger boat, which is for
the D. & C. line, will cost pretty close to a
million dollars.
The Great Lakes Engineering Works, of
Detroit, has booked orders for seven trelght
.steamers for [907 delivery and the Toledo
Shipbuilding Company will turn out three
freighters this spring and next fall. The thirty
freighters range from 7,500 to 13,000 tons in
carrying capacity.
The following is a list of freight vessels
that were ordered this year:

MONSTER BOAT ASSURED.
The statement coming from Duluth to the
effect that capital is being interested in that
city in an enterprise to build a 650-foot ore
carrier, is arousing considerable interest in
marine circles. The names of those who
are back of the enterprise can not be definite-
ly learned, but it is supposed that the prime
mover is A. B. Wolvih, of Duluth, who has
long been a prominent figure in the Lake
marine. It will be remembered that a few
weeks ago President James C. Wallace, of
the American Shipbuilding Company, in an
after-dinner speech at the dinner given in
honor of die launching of the steamer Thomas
Shaughnessy, made the statement that at that
time he was figuring on a boat which would
be 045 feet over all, or about 50 feet Longer
than the longest on the Great Lakes at the
present time. Some vesselowners have been
inclined to doubt the report from Duluth, but
this statement of Mr. Wallace's would seem
to strengthen the belief of many that the
building of the new boat is assured and that
the fall of next year will see her in commis-
sion. At the time Mr. Wallace made his
remarkable statement the first of the steel
600 footers had just been launched. The idea
of a boat practically fifty feet longer and with
a possible carrying capacity of 15,000 or 16,000
tons was entirely beyond popular comprehen-
sion. Speaking in this connection Robert Lo-
gan, general manager of the American Ship-
building Company, said recently that the con-
struction of a 650- foot boat was entirely pos-
sible and that a steamer of this length would
be seaworthy in every respect.
Another feature in regard to the proposed
monster is that she is to be made non-sink-
able through the use of compressed air. How
this principle is to be applied it is impossible
to learn, as the details of the construction of
the new boat are being jealous! v guarded.
While the former announcement of the plac-
ing of the order for this monster has not been
made, yet it is generally believed that her
construction is assured and that by the latter
part of next year she will be in active op-
eration.
A new Life-Saving station, which will be
one of the finest on the Lakes, will soon be
established on Beaver Island, at the north end
of Lake Michigan. This was announced re-
cently by Lieutenant J. C. P.allinger, Inspector
of the Twelfth Life-Saving district. The new-
station will replace the service by volunteers,
which has been maintained on P.eaver Island
since 1878. The Inspector also announced
that the new station at Jackson Park, Chicago,
would be located further out in the Lake and
half a mile south of the spot selected just be-
fore the World's Fair for the exhibition sta-
tion. Bids will be asked soon for the con-
struction of the new house and equipment.
THE SHORTAGE OF SEAMEN.
'1 here is a great shortage of firemen and
ordinary-seamen in Lake Erie ports for the
first part of August. The steamer Malietoa, of
the Steel Trust feet, was held up in Conneaut
on Sunday, August 2, for firemen. Kvery ef-
fort was made by Pusiness Agent O'Brien to
get men, but without avail. This shortage is,
of course, partly caused by the exodus of men
to the harvest fields, where big wages are be-
ing paid. The Cleveland Leader, of August
10, in a palpably inspired article, has this to
say em the question :
The trouble which captains of all lake boats
have been experiencing in the past, is again mak-
ing itself manifest. It is caused by men leaving
ill' boats at the upper lake ports. It often occa-
sions serious delay, as seamen and firemen, who
are those who generally "jump" their boats, are
searee at that end of the route. It is reaching
alarming proportions this fall, owing to the scarc-
ity of labor at the mines and in the harvest lields.
Remarkably high wages are being paid to miners
and farm bands this season and consequently it
is a great inducement, and is causing a large num-
ber of desertions. Another disagreeable feature
in this connection is that the men leaving their
boats at the upper lakes demand their pay for the
half trip. These demands are generally made
through ignorance on the part of the sailors.
\\ hen they sign the articles, they agree to make
one round trip and consequently when they leave
tin boat at the upper lakes they forfeit their pay.
This point has led to a great deal of trouble, both
to sailors, who through not knowing the import of
these articles, and shipping to the upper lakes re-
lying on the half trip pay to cover board and rail-
road fare, when they were unable to get it have
been in dire straits, and also to the captains, who
have often experienced troublesome delays on
this account. The articles are really a contract
between the captain and the sailor, and unless
lived up to there is no redress for the party de-
serting except in a case where it can be proven
that the officers have violated their side of the
contract.
There is a good opportunity for men out
of work, to find work on the Lakes, but the
life does not appear to appeal to most men.
The great percentage of recruits for Lake
Erie ports especially are the young men from
Canada. Wry few American boys are com-
ing on the Lakes, and acording to recent
newspaper articles, Uncle Sam wants a lew
men also. A vessel is to visit the Lake Erie
ports and show moving pictures of "Life on
Shipboard in the United States Navy." This
is to induce the young men to join the Navy.
This is not funny comrades and you are not
expected to laugh at it. Think of it, the
United States Government turning its Navy
into a vaudeville show in order to obtain re-
cruits. Comrade Furuseth told the gentle-
men at Washington how to get seamen, but
they [irefer to make the whole country ridi-
culous, rather than pass a law compelling ves-
selowners to carry competent men.
No, it is not funny; it is pitiful.

A new steamship company has been formed
which is known as the Dearborn Transit Com-
pany, of Dearborn, 111. The founders of the
new company are Messrs. James and Frank
Wallace, of Detroit, and the capital interested
is mostly from Detroit and Chicago. An or-
der was placed some time ago by J. and F.
Wallace, with the Great Lakes Engineering
Company, for a 10,000-ton ore carrier to come
out next spring. Since that lime the new com-
pany has been formed to operate the boat, and
it is stated that other boats will be ordered
by this company in a short time. The name
decided upon for the new boat is E. L. Wal-
lace.

The city of Jktffalo has appropriated $15,-
000 for a new police patrol boat. She will
be 60 feet long and 15 feet beam.
The John Otis, an old propeller, has been
converted into a wrecking boat and will be
stationed at the foot of Lake Michigan.
To the steamer John R. Stanton belongs
the honor of bringing the largest cargo of-
coal into the Portage waterway — 10,000 tons.
R. O. and A. B. McKay, of Hamilton, Ont.,
have purchased the freight steamer Winonah
for the Upper Lake trade.
The United States lighthouse tender Cro-
cus, from Buffalo, and the Dunbar and Sul-
lian tug Shaughraun are both in the Detroit
Shipbuilding Company's dry-dock.
The old barge Oneonta, which was un-
sightly in the view from Lakcview park, To-
ledo, for a long time, has been raised and will
be towed to Bay City for rebuilding.
Seaman P.en Larson was lost overboard on
April <; in Lake Superior, off Michigan Isl-
and, from (lie schooner Abyssinia. His par-
ents live in Milwaukee and his wife at Eland
[unction.
The steamer Denver, formerly owned by
the Milwaukee Drydock Company, was hauled
out on the St. Lawrence Marine Railway re-
cently, to be converted into an elevator dredge
for the Daly-Hannan Dredging Company. The
boat will be put at work on a contract in Bos-
ton harbor when completed.
The new steamer Ishpeming, owned by the
Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company, has left the
Ecorse shipyards on her maiden trip up the
Lakes for a cargo of ore. She is the second
of three large boats building for that com-
pany, the Michigan being the first. The Ish-
peming is of 10,000 tons capacity and was in
charge of Captain C. A. Sayre.
Greater Cleveland will in all probability be
the name chosen for the new W. & C. passen-
ger steamer which will come out next spring.
This name has not been permanently decided
upon, but it is stated to be the best liked by
the officials of the company of the thousands
of names which have been suggested. Super-
intendent A. A. Shantz, of the company,
states that it is certain that another boat, a
duplicate of the new one, will be built next
year.
The wrecking tug which the American
Shipbuilding Company will build for the Great
Lakes Towing Company will be much larger
than any boat of that class on the Lakes. She
wil be 45 feet longer and 15 feet wider than
the wrecking tug Favorite. The new boat
will be 45 feet longer and 15 feet wider than
baem and 21 feet deep. The size of her en-
gine has not been decided on, but she will
have two Scotch boilers, 15 feet in diameter
and to feet long. The tug will be built at
Buffalo and will come out at the opening of
next season. The plans for the big wrecker
were prepared by W. I. Babcock of New
York.

CHARACTER OF SABBATH LAWS.
The Rev. R. C. Wylie, D. D., has com-
piled a volume bringing together the vari-
ous Sabbath laws in force throughout the
United States. In some States, we are told,
there has developed "a pronounced antago-
nism to all laws protecting the first day of
the week except such as would make it a
mere holiday." In others where efforts
against Sunday laws are not so drastic.
there is still to be observed "a marked and
growing tendency to depart from the former
strictness of Sabbath legislation." Five
Stales still adhere to laws modeled after the
stringent act of Charles 1 I. dating from 1676.
< )riginally this enactment constituted the
Sabbath law in force in all the American
colonies. In other States these laws have
been modified <t repealed in various degrees;
in some cases the civil courts have been in-
voked fur judicial opinion, giving the laws
"a literal interpretation or even declaring
them unci institutional." So much we learn
from Dr. Wylie's work, entitled "Sabbath
Laws in the United States." and published
by the National Reform Association. With
respect to the character of Sabbath laws or
the non-existence of such laws the author
has divided the States and Territories into
five classes ,the tabulation of which we here-
with quote:
"'The first class is composed of those
whose laws are framed according to the
liritish model and prohibit on the Lord's
day labor, business, or work of one's ordi-
nary calling only. This class includes Geor-
gia, Indiana. North Carolina, Rhode Island,
and South Carolina.
"In the second class are to be placed all
those whose Sabbath laws contain strong
and comprehensive prohibitory clauses for-
bidding labor, business, amusements, fishing,
hunting .etc.. and make few exceptions to
the operation of the law besides works of
necessity and charity. This class includes
Arkansas. Connecticut. Delaware, Florida,
Indian Territory. Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Maryland, Michigan, Missouri. Xorth Da-
kota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania South
1 )aki >ta, Tennessee, and Utah.
"The third class embraces those whose
prohibitory clauses are materially weakening
by making many exceptions besides works
of necessity and charity. Some of these ex-
ceptions are here noted. Alabama, Ken-
lucky, Mississippi, Texas, Vermont, Vir-
ginia, and West Virginia make an exception
of railroads. Xew Jersey excepts Sunday
trains and legal notices in .Sunday newspa-
pers . Massachusetts and Xew York permit
the sale of tobacco, the printing and sale of
newspapers .and the latter State permits also
the sale of fruit and confectionery. Minne-
sota allows the printing and sale of news-
papers. The Wyoming law makes excep-
tions of newspapers, railroads, telegraph
companies, news depots, farmers, mechanics,
furnaces, smelters, gfass works, venders of
ice cream, milk, fresh meat, and bread. The
law of Louisiana excepts newspapers and
printing-offices, book-stores, public and pri-
vate markets, bakeries, dairies, railroads,
theaters, and other places of amusement.
"The fourth class includes those States
the prohibitory clauses of whose Sabbath
laws are inherently weak. The laws of Colo-
rado, Illinois, and Xew Mexico prohibit on
the Lord's day only such labor and amuse-
ments as disturb congregations and families.
Business is not mentioned. Xew Hampshire
forbids such secular business or labor as
disturbs others. Montana prohibits neither
labor nor trade. Nebraska does not prohibit
trade. Oregon does not prohibit labor,
and weakens the clause prohibiting crimes
against the public peace by adding, after the
enumeration of 'riot, fighting or offering to
light, horse-racing, or dancing,' the clause
'whereby any worshiping assembly or pri-
vate family is disturbed.'
"'J'he fifth class embraces those that have
110 Sabbath laws. This class includes Ari-
zona. California, ami Idaho." — Literary Di-
gest.
MUZZLED GERMAN PRESS.
Recently in Saxony the decision was
handed down that lese-majesty consists not
only in criticizing a reigning monarch but
also in criticizing that monarch's ancestors
The importance of this decision is manifestly
great, for among other things it threatens
to stop effectually all historical research and
criticism. However, this is merely one of
a series of late decisions which have been
arrived at by the German courts, and the
buterness of the press has been constantly
increasing. Die Welt am Montag, of Ber-
lin, voices well the feeling of its colleagues
when it says:
"Press freedom with the gallows beside it
— that is the ideal in Prussia to-day. Rut
we may be sure that the fathers of the Prus-
sian Constitution never dreamt that the
courts would construe as they have the
charming Article 27, an article which tells
us that 'every Prussian has the right by
means of words, writings, printing, or draw-
ings to give free expression to his ideas.'
And the law of the realm also tells us that
'the freedom of the press is only limited by
those restrictions which are now in exist-
ence.' This sounds line, arid it was so in-
tended, but the law was made without tak-
ing into consideration the guardians of the
law to-day.
"Recently Dr. Burchard, the burgomaster
of Hamburg, told the congress of German
newspaper men that they should 'uncover
the evils which menace the public and call
things by their right names.' But unfor-
tuntaely the German Government seems un-
able or unwilling to gain currency for these
ideas in the courts of the realm; from the
lowest to the highest judicial bodies the
press is denied the right to expose public
corruption and evils. Indeed, the attitude
of all the courts toward the press and free-
dom of the press is the quintessence of ani-
1111 isity."
The German paper says that the courts
are particularly severe in cases "of criticism
of officials, and the men on the judge's bench
seem to feel that they as well as the plaintiff
are concerned in crushing the unfortunate
journalist."
In its recent inciting at Hamburg, the
"Verband Deutscher Journalisten" adopted
resolutions favoring the abolition of com-
pulsory testimony and urging the necessity
of jury trials in press lawsuits. The reports
of press cases are to be collected and edited,
and each year a review will be issued calling
attention to the most important points and
seeking to familiarize the public and press
with the rulings. — Literary Digest.

DISAPPEARING ENGLAND.
While the question of coast erosion and
reclamation is one of comparative insignifi-
cance in this country, the subject has, of
late years, aroused considerable discussion
in England, because of the undoubted rav-
ages of the sea at many points of the littoral
of the island. The shores of England are
composed largely of clay, chalk, or friable
rock, which is easily eaten away by the
waves of the ocean or the strong currents
and tides along the coast. In consequence
great stretches of the shore have been worn
away and are constantly crumbling further
inland with each succeeding year. This
gradual destruction has caused great dam-
ages to many towns situated on the seashore
and has destroyed thousands of acres of valu-
able farming land. At certain locations,
even within the memory of men still living,
the sites of prosperous villages of former
times are to-day covered by many fathoms
of water, sometimes several miles from the
present shore line.
Coast erosion following severe storms
within recent years has been so marked at
many points on the English coast that after
extended press discussion a Parliamentary
commission has been appointed thoroughly
to investigate the subject, and if possible to
devise means for the abatement of the in-
jury. While there is little danger that the
"tight little island" will completely disap-
pear within the next few generations, there
can be no doubt that coast erosion is caus-
ing serious loss of land at many points, par-
ticularly on the south and east coasts, not-
withstanding that the areas gained artificial-
ly at other points almost compensate for it.
it has been estimated that in the thousand
years from 900 to 1900 an area of nearly 550
square miles has been worn away by the
erosive action of the waves and ocean cur-
rents. That the changes in the littoral out-
line of England are due almost purely to this
action is the opinion of the geologists who
have investigated the question, and it is not
believed that the subsidence and upheaval of
the earth's crust are in any way responsible
therefor. The material which is carried
away after being eroded from the shore is
either immediately borne to the deep sea in
suspension, or is washed along the coast in
the form of littoral drift. It is hardly pos-
sible to estimate the respective proportions
of the material which are thus disposed of,
but these proportions may vary from 20 to
90 per cent of the whole, though it is hardly
likely that the proportion carried out to
deep water often approaches the latter fig-
ure.
The question of coast protection is a diffi-
cult one, and the method in use at present,
comprising the construction of walls and
groynes along certain areas, results of ne-
cessity in the depriving of the foreshore of
the material which might otherwise gather
there. Thus while a uniform system of pro-
tective walls and groynes running from the
walls out into the sea will, for the time be-
ing, largely prevent the erosion of the coast,
it "will nevertheless, by abating or largely
decreasing the littoral drift, bring about the
depletion of the foreshore and will ultimately
cause the destruction of both protective
walls and groynes. The question of coast
protection and reclamation presents engi-
neering difficulties of no mean magnitude,
and the overcoming of these difficulties will
constitute an interesting phase of future en-
gineering history, for we feel certain that
English technical men and men of science
will find successful means for combating the
destructive power of the sea. — Scientific

WAGES IN NEW ENGLAND.
The wages of employees in cotton mills
have recently been advanced 5 per cent in
New England, and there is, according to the
Lynn Item, a similar tendency to increase
the wages in the boot and shoe industry.
The Item says that the increase in the ave-
rage wage of shoemakers in the State for
the last five years has exceeded $1 per week,
totaling $56.33 for the year. The increase
in the average wage in Lynn from 1900 to
1905 amounted to $61.16; while in Brockton
the increase amounted to $88 per person.
Haverhill increased its average wage $58.85,
but Salem, though it increased the value of
its shoe product and number of its shoemak-
ers, is said to have reduced its average wage
by $5-17- The statistics show that there
were 58,645 persons employed in the boot
and shoe business in 1900, receiving average
yearly earnings of $473.11. In 1905 the num-
ber had increased to 62,633 and the average
yearly earnings were $529.44.
DRY DOCK'S LONG VOYAGE.
A dispatch from Rome states that when
the first portion of the Italian railways came
under control of the Government, on July 1,
1905, the Italian State system included 6,625
miles of line. With the bill recently passed
by both branches of the Italian Parliament,
which provides for the acquisition by the
State of the lines of the old "Meridionali,"
1,382 miles will be added to the State sys-
tem, which will bring the total of the State
lines up to this time to 8,137 miles. As
much as $300,000,000 was estimated to be
necessary to bring Italian State lines into
full working order. The Italian board of
directors are straining every nerve to im-
prove the chaotic condition of the service,
and a complete scheme is now under consid-
eration. A large quantity of new rolling
stock will be necessary. Large orders have
already been placed for the current fiscal
year. These include 485 locomotives, of
which number the Baldwin Company, of
Philadelphia, received an order for 20. Ger-
man and Austro-Hungarian firms received
orders for about 120 locomotives, and the
remainder are to be built in Italy. There
will have to be a large addition to the num-
ber already ordered, and a great many pas-
senger carriages, luggage vans, trucks and
wagons, and steel-pressed cars.
The British Vicc-Consul at St. Malo
(Prance), writes with regard to the New-
foundland fishing trade, in which most of the
St Malo population are engaged during four
or five months in the year, that provisions,
fishhooks, etc., supplied for the ships in that
trade do not pay duty, provided the goods are
warehoused at St. Malo, and put on board the
vessels which are to use them during the sea-
son.
The dry dock "Dewey" has safely com
pleted its long voyage o\ over 14,000 mile:,
from Chesapeake Hay to the Philippine Isl-
ands, and is now anchored in 65 feet of
water off Rivera Point at Olongopo naval
station, four huge mushroom anchors are
used at each end of the big dock and the
depth of water enables all large vessels to
reach it satVP .
The "Dewey" left Baltimore on the 28th
of December, [905 several months later
than had been expected— and was 196 days,
or about six and one half months, on her

The Department of Justice has de-
cided that railroad workers are in the
unskilled labor class and cannot be
imported into the United States under
the alien contract law.
The Street Carmen's Union of San
Francisco went on strike on August

The exodus of native sons to the
Northwest and New Ontario has
drained the older parts of Ontario of
a large number of skilled agricultural
workmen; new immigrants have taken

Fining of employes as a means of
enforcing discipline in the postal ser-
vice, a system that has been in oper-
ation for several years, is to be abol-
ished. First Assistant Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who has jurisdic-
tion over all postoffice employes, after
a year's observation of this discipline,
has reached the conclusion that it is
detrimental rather than helpful. He
proposes to establish in its place a
uniform system of efficiency records,
which will be put into operation as
soon as perfected.
.Advices received at Honolulu, T.
II.. from the Far Fast, are to the ef-
fect that emigration from Corea has
been put under practically the same
restrictions and control as emigra-
tion from Japan. No person may
emigrate except by permission of the
authorities. Permits to emigrate can
be obtained only through regularly
licensed emigration companies. These
emigration companies can send emi-
grants only to countries having au-
thorized representatives. If an emi-
grant becomes ill or in distress, the
emigration company must afford re-
lief, or provide means for his return.
Three hundred and fifty telephone
girls employed in the central exchange
of the Chicago Telephone Company,
struck on August 23, badly crippling
the service. The cause of the strike
was an order issued by the company
directing the girls at "central" to en-
ter the building through a rear door,
in order to reach which they were
compelled to go through a pasage-
way 100 feet long. The girls declared
that the passageway is muddy even
in the daytime, and dark, slimy and
slippery at night. There are three sa-
loon entrances on the alley and the
girls declared that they were annoyed
by the hangers-on at those places.
Seven thousand telephones in the
burned district were put out of com-
mission.

with 1904. The total number of ap-
plications for employment was 45,-
323, and altogether 39,598 persons
were supplied with situations. There
were 44.577 applications from em-
ployers for help and of these 4,979
could not be met. Of those applying
for employment 71 per cent were
males and 29 per cent females. The
percentage of situations secured was
70 for males and 30 for females. The
number of applications registered is
the highest which has been attained
since the foundation of the offices,
and the number of positions secured
was only exceeded in 1902.

EVENTS OF THREE MONTHS.
LET US SEE. It is now nearly three
months since the seamen's unions of the
Pacific Coast undertook to enforce their
demand for a slight increase in wages. Much has
happened in the interval. Let us see.
When the members of the seamen's unions quit
work in the vessels that refused to pay the in-
creased wage a great howl went up throughout
the land. The strike was denounced as "inop-
portune," "illtimed," "unwise," etc. The seamen
were charged with an attempt to "prey upon the
stricken city" and to "take advantage of the peo-
ple's misfortunes." Hardly any one could be
found with courage enough to say a kind word
for the seamen. Even the seamen's associates in
the labor world looked askance at the former's
effort to raise wages and were rather inclined to
side with the general outcry against the "unfor-
tunate affair." That was three months ago.
The shipowners, of course, were highly indig-
nant at the attitude assumed by the seamen. The
seamen's refusal to sail for less than a stated
wage — $1.65 per day and found — resulted in ty-
ing up a few steam-schooners. The owners of
these vessels and their fellow-patriots in the
United Shipping and Transportation Association
were greatly worried about the situation. These
gentlemen sympathized with San Francisco in
her misfortunes. San Francisco needed lumber
in the very worst way. So, because the seamen's
action had tied up a few vessels in the lumber
trade, and in order to show their disapproval of
that action, as well as to exemplify the depth of
their own desire to aid the city, the shipowners
immediately tied up all the shipping of the port —
that is, all the shipping controlled by the United
Shipping and Transportation Association. The
shipowners' sympathy, as will be noted, assumed
a very curious form. It would be interesting to
know just what the shipowners would do should
they determine to hurt the city. Anyway, that
was three months ago.
As already stated, much has happened in the
interval. The seamen are no longer the only
class of workers who feel that conditions justify
an increase of wages. Deedy not. Other crafts
have felt the pinch, in the form of increased rents
and higher cost of living generally. As a result,
these crafts have not been slow to demand that
wages be increased proportionately. These de-
mands are too numerous to mention. Perhaps
the better, i. e., shorter, process would be to
enumerate the classes that have not made such
demands. Even the latter course isn't so simple
as might appear at first blush. The shortest cut
to the present situation is contained in the gen-
eral but no less accurate statement that wages
in most crafts have been materially increased, ac-
companied in not a few instances by a reduction
in hours.
This change has been brought about in some
instances by strikes, in others by voluntary ac-
tion on the part of those employers who have
been shrewd enough to note the drift of things
and to avoid trouble with their employes. Not
the least interesting phase of the situation is con-
tained in the changed attitude of the public, in-
cluding the employing class. Whereas three
months ago the general sentiment toward the
movement for an increase of wages was one of
disapproval and impatience, to-day the public is
disposed to regard that movement as not only
inevitable, but justifiable, and even commendable.
The fact, established beyond all question by the
records, that the present upward tendency of
prices was started by the real estate men and
landlords, seems to have penetrated the public
mind and taken firm root. Nowadays the trade-
union that asks for more wages, instead of being
cursed as a public enemy, is commended for its
courage, supported in its claims and congratu-
lated upon its victory. What a difference is
created in public opinion in the space of three
short months!
The street carmen are the latest, or at any rate
the most conspicuous, exemplars of the move-
ment toward making both ends meet. The street
carmen want $3 per day of eight hours, and every
one wants to see them get it. The public must
walk while the officials of the local street-car
monopoly split hairs over a mere question of
wounded pride. Nevertheless the public, man,
woman and child, favors the demand of the street
carmen. The local press, with the exception of
the Chronicle, is outspoken in the demand that
the United Railroads shall grant the terms asked
by its employes. Even the Chronicle, which in
the past has been foremost in protesting against
a street-car strike, is forced to maintain a silence
that is eloquent of its fears to offend public sen-
timent. It is generally agreed that $3 a day is
little enough for a street carman in these times,
and as generally hoped that that wage will be
granted by the company, or forced from it, as
the case may be.
It is good to hear the press and public talk
these days. Every one favors the movement to-
ward higher wages; the men who arc engaged in
that movement are no longer public enemies, but
have become the true saviors of the situation.
Verily, three nn mtlis produce a big change in
public opinion. In other words, three months
are sufficient to change the attitude of the pub
lie from that of a more or less disinterested critic
to that of an interested principal. Three months
ago the public could see nothing but a "scarcity
of lumber" in the seamen's attempt to raise
wages. To-day the public feels the necessity of
raising its own wages. Hence the change of
public opinion on the subject.
Meantime, how fares it with the seamen's
unions, the originators of the movement to keep
wages on a parity with the cost of living? Dur-
ing these three months the seamen have main-
tained a struggle against what is probably the
strongest anti-union combination ever formed on
the Pacific Coast. It is gratifying to be able to
record that that struggle is drawing to a close,
with victory perched upon the banners of the
seamen. The United Shipping and Transporta-
tion Association, that once proud and powerful
aggregation which three months ago boldly pro-
claimed its purpose of "busting up" the seamen's
unions, and which almost in the same breath an-
nounced the success of that enterprise, is to-day
a sadlv demoralized outfit, a mere fragment of
its former self, whose only thought is now of re-
treat in something like decent order. Undoubt-
edly three months have worked some changes in
the opinion of the enemy, too.
Many of the shipowners who at first took their
stand with the Association have deserted to the
camp of those who see more sense, also more
profit, in doing business with the seamen's unions
than in trying to "bust up" these organizations.
Wise shipowners! Happy seamen! Many ship-
owners who have been friendly to the unions
throughout the contest have increased wages up-
on a simple request from the unions. As for the
seamen who are still locked out of the Associa-
tion vessels — well, these arc doing very nicely,
thank you. Fortunately, these men arc not en-
tirely dependent upon the Association owners for
employment, but, on the contrary, arc able to
secure work elsewhere, and upon much better
terms than those asked of the shipowners.
Oh, yes, the seamen's unions arc getting there-
all right. Tt is to be hoped that the seamen will
arrive at their destination before public opinion
changes again. If it should happen that the
movement for a general increase in wages shall
have been brought to a successful conclusion be-
fore the seamen j^ct whal is coming to them, it
is just possible that the latter may again find
themselves the object of criticism. The events
of the past three months prove quite conclusively
that public sympathy for (lie effort of a trade-
union to raise wages is very largely contingent
upon the question whether or not the public it-
self stands to make anything by the deal — that
is, whether or not it stands to secure an increase
in its own wages. "A fellow feeling," etc.
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Sailors Will Win.
The sailors will win their fight with the United
Shipping and Transportation Association of San
Francisco. They will win because their cause is
just, and because circumstances unforseen in the
beginning are working in their favor.
Manager Schwerin, head of the Harriman water
lines, also head of the United Shipping Associa-
tion, who is insisting on continuing this fight
against the sailors is beginning to hear the mur-
murs of an indignant public along the entire Pa-
cific Coast. At Portland there is a great conges-
tion of freight and business is hampered because
(if insufficient water transportation. Murmurs are
heard on every hand and Portland's great daily,
which has not had a word in favor of the sailors,
had a severe roast for Mr. Schwerin in a full
column front page article this week.
The Transportation Asociation has steadily re-
fused to arbitrate with the sailors. The latter
have offered to submit their case to a board of
arbitration from the start. The Transportation
Association, with a blind stubbornness which can
only come from ignorance, believes it can destroy
the Sailors' Union. The time may come when it
can be done — some time when the sailors through
error or unfair demands will merit defeat — but
that time has not come in this case and the sailors
will win.
Among the causes that will produce this result
are these:
First, business men will finally awake and de-
mand of the Transportation Association that full
traffic be resumed. They are not interested in
helping the Association defeat its men in a de-
mand for a $5 per month raise when the Associa-
tion has raised freight rates excessively. Busi-
ness must be carried on.
The second cause helping the sailors is the fact
that no real man will take the place of one of
these men out on a strike. Public opinion is
changing toward the union idea, and when a union
can present a fair case the public is learning to
give that case a fair hearing. And, again, every
real sailor on the Coast is in the Sailors' Union.
The third cause, and one of the strongest to
help the sailors is old ocean herself. The weather
is pleasant now and the ocean is quiet. It is pos-
sible to bring a boat from San Francisco to Gray's
Harbor poorly manned. If the green boys gotten
aboard become seasick, and they invariably do,
the captain and mates can run the boat.
But September with its equinoctial storms will
soon be here. November gales quickly follow.
Then come the mountainous billows of Decem-
ber and men are needed on the ships that pass in
the night. The men capable of carrying the ships
up this Coast then are all in the Sailors' Union,
and new men cannot be trained for the work, in
the time allowed.
When Fernando De Magellan first sailed his
high-built Spanish galleons through the straits
that bear his name, in the year 1520, his vessels
entered the waters of the great ocean that seven
years before, Balboa had christened the "Pacific"
or "Peaceful" ocean.
Balboa saw the Pacific first in summer, getting
his first glance on a sheltered bay. Had he seen
the Pacific aroused; could he go down this coast
and see the skeleton wrecks that line the beach,
he would re-christen the mighty water.
The winter ways of the Pacific will help the
sailors win.
The sailors will win. — Gray's Harbor (Wash.)

Michael Refused Duty.
Michael O'Hern is a well-to-do, respected citi-
zen of Aberdeen, 51 years old. He possesses a
nice house in Los Angeles, some ready cash, and
a slight accent. He spends his winters in Los \n-
his summers on this harbor, having done
this for the past three years.
In an evil hour, Mr. O'Hern met the captain of
the Newburg. "Says the captain, says he," to
quote Michael's version of the incident, "I need a
man aboard ship to peel potatoes and view the
scenery on the way between this place and
'Frisco. I will charge ye nothing for yer fare
and ye can view the ruined city, Michael."
Mr. O'Hern is of a roving, romantic nature and
limited out that a free trip to the ruined city,
which he could view by moonlight, would be a
fine thing. He estimated that the exercise of
peeling a few potatoes would whet his appetite
for the sights he'd see.
So he shipped.
This was several days ago. The stately New-
burg cast oft" her lines and dropped down the bay
carrying Michael and his desires for fine scenery,
safely snuggled up in her cabin.
But, lo! He is with us again.
He tells the story in this way: "Ye see, we wint
out for the sea wid the captain, two mates and
three min. We got down to the harbor entrance
and the whitecaps were rollin' fearful high, so
we cast anchor. I started peeling potatoes while
the cook who was a Jap tried to work up a con-
versation. I couldn't talk Jap and he couldn't talk
United States, so there we were.
"The captain said he guessed he'd go ashore at
Westport and see if he couldn't pick up another
man or two. As he started to go over the side,
he turned to me and tould me 'to get busy clean-
in' the brass on the ship while he was gone.' I
tould him I shipped to peel potatoes and not to
clean brass. He tould me I'd have to. I tould
him I wouldn't. Thin he got hot. Thin I got
hot. He said he'd make me work my way to
'Frisco. I tould him I'd have him arrested as a
kidnapper if he did. I tould him he'd shanghaied
me. I grabbed me goods and as he wint into his
boat to go ashore, I followed him. One of the
other men did too. We tried to get the other fel-
low but he was asleep. So I guess he wint to
sea. We landed at Westport and came back
here."
When Mr. O'Hern had finished his story we
asked him if he would ship again soon.
"Not on yer life," said he.
This incident would indicate that a captain can
have difficulty even if he has a non-union crew. —
Gray's Harbor Post.
A Business Proposition.
The "business men" complain because perhays
a half dozen steamers have been prevented from
coming to San Pedro because of the stand of the
horemen. Supposing they did come. Say
they discharge in three days, which is about the
average time. Say the payroll amounts to $175,
which is a fair estimate. Six vessels would ag-
gregate something over one thousand dollars.
But supposing the sailors should win the in-
crease of $5 per month. It is a safe prediction
that the wage would remain at that figure at least
three years. Say that six steamers per week ar-
rive, throughout the year, or say three hundred
annually. The increase for a crew of ten men
(many carry more), would be fifty dollars per
month. Twelve months would aggregate $600.
That figure multiplied by 300 would equal $180,-
000, at least half of which would go into imme-
diate circulation, in San Pedro, as against a pres-
ent loss of $1000, or, to make it liberal, say, $2000.
Is not this a good "business" proposition? It
is this that the sailor, and every other organized
workingman, takes into consideration before go-
ing on strike. He takes the chance, the same as
nun do on other kinds of speculation, and his
experience has taught him that the chance is often
well worth the taking.
Some of the "business men" who have such
high foreheads that they run clear down their
backs, would do well to stop long enough to exer-
cise something else, besides their vocal organs,
on the subject of "how the unions are killing the
town." — Z. W. Craig, in Union Labor News.
Over three months have elapsed since the
trouble between the Sailors' Union of the Pacific
and the United Shipping and Transportation
Association was precipitated and as the days go
by it is forcibly apparent that the sailors are more
than holding their own. While the Association
have been giving to the newspapers that they
have the situation to their advantage, the condi-
tion of the shipping industry along the Coast tells
a different story. At San Francisco, the seat of
the trouble, the Association made an early ap-
peal to Mayor Schmitz that they were fully able
to secure sufficient seamen to fill the places of the
union sailors and handle the shipping if they could
secure police protection. They complained that
as fast as they were able to get non-union sailors
they were assaulted and intimidated. Upon their
plea Mayor Schmitz assured them that he would
not tolerate violence from any quarter and grant-
ed them an extra squad of peace officers to pro-
tect themselves against alleged interference of
their work. From the reports of the police officers
on the water front there had been no unusual dis-
turbances, but the extra officers were supplied
anyway to satisfy the members of the Association.
As the police assigned to the water front were
not committed to the use of the Association for
picket service they were of little use to the latter
and it was but a short time until the Association
sent in for another detail of extramen. The ap-
plication was refused for the reason that the re-
ports of the Police Department did not warrant
the service of more men along the water line.
The Mayor then received a communication from
the Association, which caused him to make a
vigorous and heroic reply.— Portland (Or) Labor
Press.
When They Understand.
One of Aberdeen's brightest young business
men, discussing the lockout of the seamen, said
he felt that the sailors were wrong in striking at
the time of 'Frisco's calamity. When it was
shown to him that the sailors made their demands
before the earthquake; that they withdrew their
demands when the disaster occurred; that they
only renewed their demands when the Trans-
portation company raised freight rates to the
stricken city, whereby each boat earned $1000
more each month and the sailors made their orig-
inal demand, asking $5 per month, not from the
stricken inhabitants, but from the Transportation
Company., he exclainied, "Well, that makes a
difference. I don't believe the general public un-
derstands that. I am with the sailors, then, if
that's the case."
There's the point. When the public under-
stands, its sympathy is with the sailors. — Gray's

FIRST FOREIGN SALUTE.
The question as to when and where the
American Hag was first saluted by a foreign
government, is one which has been the subject
of considerable controversy; although the ac-
tual facts of the case are, and for some time
have been, well known to careful students of
American history. It is popularly supposed
that the first salute was given to the American
warship Ranger when she was under command
of Paul Jones, and that the event occurred in
1778. On the other hand, it has long been
known to students of history that two years
earlier a salute was given to the American flag
by the governor of one of the Dutch West
India islands. The confusion has arisen from
the fact that prior to the adoption of the stars
and stripes as the national emblem, the colo-
nies had adopted another flag, in which the
stars did not appear. It was the earlier flag
which was saluted in 1776; while Paul Jones is
quite correct in stating that the first foreign
salute to the Stars and Stripes was given to
the little war vessel Ranger while she was
under his own command.
The necessity for the adoption of a common
national flag does not seem to have impressed
itself upon the American colonies until toward
the close of the year 1775, when a committee
consisting of Dr. Franklin, Mr. Lynch, and
Mr. Harrison was appointed to consider the
subject. They met at the camp of the Colo-
nials at Cambridge, and proposed the adoption
of a flag which should retain in the corner the
King's colors of Union Jack, consisting of the
combined crosses of St. Andrew and St.
George, thereby representing the still recog-
nized sovereignty of England, but that the field
of the flag should consist of thirteen stripes
alternate red and white, which should he em-
blematic of the union of the thirteen colonics
igainst the tyranny and oppression of the King.
The new flag was adopted, and it was first
hoisted on January 2, 1776, the event taking
place at the Continental camp at Cambridge.
This flag is known as the Continental Union
flag.
The first vessel to receive a salute for
he Continental flag from a foreign power was
the little brig Andrea Doria, commanded by
Captain Robinson. This vessel was purchased
prior to the adoption of the new national em-
blem, and she had seen active service under
Nicholas Biddle. In September, 177O, she
sailed from Philadelphia for the island of St.
En statins, to take aboard a cargo of arms. On
her arrival at that port on November 16, 1776,
she saluted the Dutch flag, and her salute was
returned by the governor.De Graaf,with thir-
teen guns, corresponding to the thirteen States.
The gallant governor bid fair to pay dearly for
his enthusiasm ; for Mr. Christopher Great-
head, who commanded the British island of St.
Kits, hearing that a certain North American
vessel had been supplied at St. Eustatius and
had saluted the Dutch fort of Orange, and
lhatthe fort had replied, remonstrated against
this insult to his Britannic Majesty. Proofs
of this salutation were sent to Sir Knight
York, English Ambassador to the Dutch Re-
public, and he laid them before the high and
mighty States General, and demanded a formal
disavowal of the salute and the discharge hi d
recall of De Graaf. The governor was cited
to appear before the States General; but he
delayed doing so, and when he eventually
reached Holland in 1778, France had acknowl-
edged the independence of the American colo-
nies, and other nations soon followed. The
offense of De Graaf was no longer a solitary
one, and the complaint against him was lost
sight of and forgotten.
In 1776 a pamphlet was published in Con-
cord, N. H., entitled "The Stars and Stripes
the Flag of the United States of America —
When, Where, and by Whom was it First
Saluted," in which the writer proves the fact
of the salute in the West Indies, and speaks of
it as a "salute of the Stars and Stripes." This,
as we have shown above, was an error, the
stars not having been added to the flag until
the following year.
It was on June 14, 1777, that the American
Congress resolved that the flag of the thirteen
united States should consist of thirteen stripes
alternate red and white, with thirteen stars,
white in a blue field, representing a new con-
stellation.
Paul Jones claimed that it was his good for-
tune to he the first to display the Stars and
Stripes on a naval vessel, and it had
previously been his to hoist with
his own hand the "flag of Ameri-
ca" on hoard the naval vessel Alfred.
He was appointed on June 14, 1777, to the
command of the Ranger, which carried a bat-
ter) of sixteen six-pounders. He crossed the
Atlantic, and 011 entering the Quiberon Bay,
on the 14th of February, 1778, he saluted the
French fleet under Admiral La Motte Piquet,
and received in return a salute of nine guns.
This was the first foreign salute to the Stars
and Stripes; and the subject has been com-
memorated in the paintings and engravings
with which the public is generally familiar.

In refining to the Argentine Government
subsidy scheme for the establishment of a di-
rect steamship service between the Argentine
and Europe under the Argentine flag, the Ber-
lin Boersen Courier states the proposal shows
that the Government attaches value to the in-
stitution of a service of vessels flying the na-
tional flag. The Berlin newspaper adds as
a report that English shipping companies are
already seeking to participate in the projected
subsidy by the establishment of a direct line
between London and Argentine which
meets the requirements of the Government
and flies the Argentine flag, notwithstanding
that the subvention agreement is only to be
entered into at the end of the year. The sub-
sidy is to be 28,000 gold pesos for each round
trip (peso— .0.65 cents) — that is, from the
Argentine to Europe and vice versa, hut the
maximum will not exceed 56,000 gold pesos
per month. The arrangement is to be for
ten years.

orders from the German Government.
NEW MENACE TO NIAGARA.
Not content with planning to use up all
the water of Niagara for industrial purposes,
leaving the cliff bare of its cataract, the ex-
ploiters of the Falls are now complaining that
even the whole present flow of the river is
not enough for them, and asserting that they
must back it up by a dam on the very crest
of the Horseshoe Fall. The construction of
such a dam at no distant date is predicted in
The Electrical Review by Alton D. Adams.
He writes :
"It is highly probable that another decade
of development like the last will make it neces-
sary to erect a dam in the lower part of the
Canadian channel, to maintain a sufficient head
of water for the operation of the power plants
nearest to the Horseshoe Falls. It may be
noted in this connection that while the six
great power plants about Niagara Falls operate
under heads of water that range from 136
to 210 feet, yet a variation of the level of
the upper river by as much as ten per cent
of these heads downward from the normal
would suspend their operation by laying hare
the tops of the various penstocks where they
enter their forbays
"The diversion of iarge quantities of w iter
from the Great Lakes and the Upper Niagara
River will have a double effect 0:1 the head
available at the two lower power plants on
the Canadian channel. ( )ne effect will lie the
less depth, due simply to a smaller body 01
water in this channel, and then conies an addi-
tional decrease of the depth in front of these
two power plants, due to lower velocity and
less piling up of the water along the concave
bank.
"With constructions completed and under
way that are designed to divert no less than
80,000 cubic feet of water per second from
Niagara River, with power companies oper-
ating on both sides of the falls that are auth-
orized to divert additional water in unlimited
volumes, and with promoters making strenu-
ous efforts to obtain further water rights on
the same river from New York and Canada,
the erection of a dam near the crest of the
Horseshoe Palls will probably be a necessity
at no very distant day, if the water supply
for the two power plants nearest to these falls
is to remain unimpaired. Such a dam might
properly start from the shore of Queen Vic-
toria Park between Horseshoe Point and the
intake of the lowest power plant, several hun-
dred feet above the falls, and run approxi-
mately parallel to their crest-line for a dis-
tance of 1,000 feet
"Such a dam would probably have its
height so limited that it would he entirely sub-
merged, and it would thus create a minor
cataract a little above the crest of the Horse
shoe Falls. The construction of this pro
posed dam would simply be following the
precedent fixed by the two companies whose
power plants are nearest to the head of the
Canadian channel, for at the intake of each
of these plants a long wing dam runs out into
the river."
"forbidden" is a familiar word abroad.
In ttaly it is "victato," in Germany, "ver
boten," or more politely, "untersagt," and
in France, "defendu."

The Fulton Iron Works, at San Francisco,
were bady damaged by fire on August 31.
The steam-schooner Sea Foam has been pur-
chased by George Fritch, of San Francisco.
The barkentine Tarn O'Shanter has been char-
tered to load lumber at Gray's Harbor, Wash.,
for Valparaiso, Chile, for orders.
The French bark Marechal dc Villars, which
sailed recently from Antwerp for Portland, Or.,
has returned to Antwerp damaged in collision
with the steamer Ruegel.
The naval training ship Intrepid will be ready
to be placed in commission at the Mare Island
Navy Yard in about six weeks. All of the work
on the vessel is practically finished.
Captain C. H. White has been appointed master
of the ship Two Brothers, vice J. W. Balch. Cap-
tain Andrew Carlson takes command of the
steamer Onward, vice Captain C. Gustafson.
The French ship Cocoa, from Stettin for San
Francisco, previously reported ashore at Cadg-
with, has been towed off and beached at Cadg-
with Cove, according to a London telegram re-
ceived at San Francisco on August 28.
The long overdue British ship Clackmannan-
shire, from Portland, Or., April 14, has arrived
at Port Pirie, South Australia. The vessel en-
countered severe storms and contrary winds,
which drove her far out of her course.
The German steamer Assuan, of the Kosmos
Line, which arrived at San Francisco a short
time ago from Hamburg, is to be given a general
overhauling and will consequently remain in the
latter port for some time.
Civil Engineer Rousseau of the Mare Island
Navy Yard has announced that orders have been
received from the Navy Department that all ship-
keepers, hostlers and nrement at the Navy Yard
working on holidays shall receive double pay.
A telegram received at San Francisco on Au-
gust 28 from Victoria reported that the British
steamer Twickenham, from Sourabaya, Java, prc-
viouslv reported as ashore near Roche Harbor,
had ben floated and had proceeded to the Esqui-
mault drydock.
Official word has been received at Mare Island
Navy Yard to the effect that the cruiser Marble-
head is to be placed out of commission. It is
now assured that the Yorktown will take her
place in the Pacific squadron. Most of the offi-
cers and crew of the Marblehead will be trans-
ferred to the Yorktown, as will also the equip-
ment and stores.
The steamer Homer, arriving at San Francisco
on August 27th, from the Probilov Islands, re-
ports that five Japanese seal-raiders were caught
some weeks ago by the United States Government
agent on St. George's Island in the Probilov
group. They were captured without bloodshed
and will be sent to Valdez for trial by the first
steamer calling at the island.
The Treasury Department has directed the
revenue-cutter Grant to proceed to British Co-
lumbia and receive fifteen bodies of victims of the
Valencia disaster some months ago off Vancou-
ver Island and bring them to Seattle, Wash.
These bodies were buried on a very rough part
of the coast, inaccessible except by small boats.
An ocean tug has been provided by friends of the
victims, who will disinter the bodies and transfer
them to the Grant.
The steam-schooner Celia went ashore at Point
Joe, near Point Pinos, Cal., during a dense fog
on August 28. All hands, including a number
of passengers, were saved, but the vessel is a
total loss. The Celia was one of the smaller
steam-schooners, and was owned by the Albion
Lumber Company. The vessel was built in 1884
by Matthew Turner at Benicia, and was of 173
gross and 115 net tons register.
A telegram received at San Francisco on Au-
gust 28 from Valparaiso stated that the Kosmos
steamers Uarda and Salatis had been injured by
the earthquake there a few days previously. Par-
ticulars of the injury to the vessels have not, how-
ever, been received. The Uarda was bound from
San Francisco to Honolulu and the Salatis, a new
vessel, was on the way to San Francisco from
Hamburg. The Uarda was in San Francisco at
the time of the earthquake and fire on April 18
last, but suffered no injury on that occasion.
Word has been received at Mare Island Navy
Yard that the flagship Chicago is expected to ar-
rive in San Francisco harbor in a few days, where
she wil be detained several days before proceed-
ing further south, to join the Charleston, which
is bearing Secretary of Stale Root on his South
American trip, and which is coming to the Coast
to take the pace of the Chicago. The Chicago
will then proceed to the Atlantic Coast to be
given a thorough overhauling and will later be
placed in the Atlantic fleet.
The steamer Homer, from he St. Lawrence
and St. Paul Islands, arrived at San Francisco on
August 27, with six passengers and a cargo of
furs, consisting of 14,476 sealskins, twelve barrels
of blue fox skins and one barrel of mixed skins.
The Homer is the first vessel of the North Am-
erican Commercial Company to return from the
Behring Sea Islands. She brings reports from
the Alaskan coast of new volcanoes breaking out
«.n the Alaskan mountains and of old ones be-
coming active. So far as known no damage has
been done.
Acting Collector of the Port William B. Ham-
ilton, of San Francisco, has imposed a fine of
$500 each on masters of coasters which have cer-
ried passengers without licenses. Those fined
are Captain B. Anfrend, of the steamer San
Pablo, which brought two passengers from Eu-
reka, and Captain John Reinertsen, of the Pomo,
which brought eight passengers from Albion.
Captain R. B. MacKay, of the Tampico, which
was recently in collision with the ferry-boat Bay
City, was fined $100 for navigating the Bay with-
out a pilot's license.
The tower of the San Francisco Ferry building
will be repaired with reinforced concrete, instead
of galvanized iron, at an increased cost of about
$9000 over the expense provided for when the
contract for the work was awarded a few days
ago to the Pacific Construction Company. The
original contract price was $4367. The contrac-
tors have suggested reinforced concrete in place
of galvanized iron, and the proposition has met
with the approval of the Harbor Commission.
Chief Engineer Norton was directed to prepare
plans and specifications for the work.
Captain A. C. Peterson of the ship Servia, late-
ly arriving at San Francisco with a salmon cargo
from Alaska, has reported to the Branch Hydro-
graphic office that on June I, in entering Cook's
Inlet, he saw heavy breakers four miles south of
the western island of the Chugach group, and
afterwards two heavy breaks about midway be-
tween Point Banks and the Barren Islands. Cap-
tain Peterson also located a sandbank in three
fathoms of water at low tide about two miles off
shore and abreast of Ninilchick, inside of which
and close to shore is a long line of dangerous
rocks.
The steamer Queen City, which arrived at Vic-
toria, B. C, on August 28, from the Vancouver
Island coast, brought confirmation of the reports
regarding the finding of a boat with eight skele-
tons in a cave. The cave, which is located at
Pachena Point, not far from where the steamer
Valencia was wrecked, was found by an Indian
cruising in a canoe in the vicinity. He climbed
over the rock at the entrance and swam in, find-
ing among wreckage at the end, about 200 feet in,
an iron safe, a pontoon and a boat, practically un-
damaged, with eight corpses, all decomposed be-
yond recognition, only the bones being left.
Captain John Metcalfe, representing Lloyd's,
and Captain A. F. Pillsbury, representing the
San Francisco Board of Marine Underwriters,
upon the arrival of the Oceanic liner Ventura off
the stranded Pacific Mail liner Manchuria, lying
north of the Island of Oahu, were transferred di-
rect in the open sea en board the Manchuria.
Captain Metcalfe says that it wil be a long and
strenuous job to rescue the Manchuria from her
present position. It will probably take a week
to place anchors securely to hold the steamer
where she is and he declines to say whether ulti-
mate success can be expected. After the anchors
are out they will then decide the question about
unloading the vessel, but it is_ utterly useless to
attempt to tow her off now.
It is reported that the American bark, Home-
ward Bound, now fifty-six days out, from San
Jose de Guatemala for Portland, Or., will be
libeled upon arriving at her destination, by a
number of men who never received their profits
for reinsurance upon the vessel, when she was
the German ship, Otto Gildemeister. Under that
name the vessel was long overdue on the way
from the Asiatic Coast, a few years ago, and re-
insurance reached the high figure of 90 per cent
before she was finally reported off the Southern
California coast, dismasted and helpless. At
San Dcgo the vessel was reported as a total loss.
Later, she was brought to San Francisco and
sold to Hind, Rolph & Co., and put under Ameri-
can registry, and her name was changed to
Homeward Bound.

United States Consul Charles B. Harris,
in response to a request from an official in
the Philippine Islands, in charge of fishing
investigations, sends the following informa-
tion relative to the capture and preservation
of fish for the market at Nagasaki:
The fishing boats are principally made for
sculling; consequently are comparatively frail,
and hardly fit to sail against a stiff breeze. 1
am informed that the authorities are consid-
ering the defects of the Japanese fishing boats,
with a view to the introduction of western
styles, which will be gradually adopted by the
Japanese fishermen.
In the island of Kyushu the pound net is
used a good deal in taking various kinds of
fish, as tunny, bonito, yellow-tail, etc. A net
of this variety is sometimes several thousand
feet in length. The seine is also used exten-
sively in Japan to catch sardines, anchovies,
etc., and it is said to have been made after an
American model. The seine nets are very
long, sometimes even three miles in length.
There are several other kinds of nets used in
this Enipire. The spread net, for instance, is
Spread on the bottom, and when it is raised
catches the fish that may be within its reach.
Lines are also used, sometimes being long
lines, which are left stretched in the water,
or else hand lines. Weirs and traps are made
use of in the capture of fish in ponds and
streams.
As regards the preservation of fish, pro-
cesses vary according to the different kinds of
fish which are dealt with. Certain parts of
herring are used for food, and the remainder
is pressed for the oil and to make guano. More
latterly, however, in view of the competition
of the imports of bean cakes from North
China, herring guano from Asiatic Russia,
and sardines from Korea for use as fertiliz-
ers, the authorities have encouraged the cur-
ing of herring by smoking and salting.
The prospects of the sardine-packing indus-
try in Japan are bright, and the Government
is encouraging the tinning of sardines and
the preparation also of anchovy sauce in for-
eign fashion. The bonito fish is dried and
smoked. The "tai" is only very seldom salted
down, it being generally sold in the raw con-
dition. Tunnies also are occasionally lire-
pared in salt or dried. Yellow-tail, mackerel,
and cod are preserved in salt, the oil also of
the latter being used as medicine. Salmon is
salted or tinned.
Shellfish, lobsters, prawns, cuttlefish, and
seaweed are other important factors in the
growing commerce of the Eastern-Asiatic na-
tions in their own sphere of commercial rela-
tions, and the output of this class of marine
products figures up a considerable sum in the
trade of Nagasaki and this part of Japan.
Whaling and whale meat are subjects by them-
selves.
The action of the French Parliament in
passing a bill with little opposition making
Sunday a day of obligatory rest has given very
wide satisfaction in that country. A special
clause of the law authorizes the ministers in-
terested to suspend fifteen times a year a day
of rest in establishments under State control or
private establishments where work is going
on in the interest of national defense. The
bill allows masters and employers in eases of
bakeries, hotels, restaurants, and such places
t.. o arrange their work that employees who
work on Sunday shall rest on some other day
of the week.

THE END IX SIGHT.
Important developments occuring during
the past week forecast the early conclusion
of the contest between the seamen's unions
of the Pacific Coast and the United Ship-
ping and Transportation Association, of
San Francisco, [ndeed, it may be said with
absolute certainty that the end is now well
in sight. Almost any day, possibly before
these lines reach the reader, the whole trou-
ble may become a thing of the past.
In the early part of last week Secretary
Furuseth, acting on behalf of the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific, addressed a letter to
the owners of the sailing vessels, requesting
that in view of the general conditions on
the Coast, the wages of the seamen em-
ployed on such vessels as are still paying
the minimum scale of $40 be increased $5
per month. The sailing ship owners, who,
as is well known, have continued friendly
to the unions during the lockout of the past
months, had previously expressed
themselves as favoring an increase of wages.
When the request of the Sailors' Union was
formally presented to them, they promptly
acquiesced in the proposal. The new wage
scale in the sailing vessels, therefore, pro-
vides for a rate of $45 per month, and 50
cents per hour overtime after nine hours,
on all sailing vessels on the Coast.
'Phe action of the sailing ship owners
bears upon the lockout situation mainly as
showing the disposition of the shipowners
generall} to recognize the justice and ne-
cessity of the seamen's claim for an increase
of wages. Within the past few days this
attitude has been further demonstrated by
the action of a number of Association own-
ers, who have practically abandoned that
body and made terms with the seamen's
unions. 1 In Saturday evening of last week
arrangements were perfected under which
a large number of steam-schooners which
had taken part in the light against the unions
will hereafter carry union crews upon the
terms asked prior to the lockout. In all
probability still other steam-schooner own-
ers will make similar arrangements within
a few days.
Thus the situation stands so that only a
remnant of the United Shipping and Trans-
portation Association continues at war with
the seamen's unions. How long the situa-
tion will remain in this condition can not
be foretold with any certainty. However,
the latter question need give no concern to
any one other than those who are responsi-
ble for it. Seamen and shipowners generally
on the Pacific Coast can well afford to re-
gard with perfect equanimity the spectacle
of a corporal's guard of Association owners
biting off their noses to spite their faces.
BURIAL BY CONTRACT.
The United States Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service, in announcing the yearly con-
tracts fur the care of seamen, furnishes some
data that are very interesting, and especially as
to the cost iif burial of deceased sailors who die
in contract hospitals or in the hands of contract
physicians. It appears from the official figures
given, that the average prices paid in the larger
cities is about $15 per capita, although New
London, Conn., the most costly of the list ob-
tain^ $16.50 for the burial of a sailor. San Juan,
I'. R. obtains $15. Bridgeport receives $2.20.
Superior, Wis., $3.39. Key West, Fla., $5.25.
Jacksonville, Fla., $6. Los Angeles, Cal., $6.45.
Cairo, HI., $7. Marquette, Mich., and Solomon's
Island, Md., $8. Manitowoc, Wis., Portland, Ore.,
and Newport, Ark., $9. Galveston, Tex., $9.25.
Port Tampa, Fla., $9.50. Bangor, Me., and Bis-
marck, So. Dak., $10. Evansville, Ind., $11. Bur-
lington, Iowa, $1175.
The average sailor man is a little curious and
would like to be informed how it is that the un-
dertakers at Ashtabula, Ohio, cay lay his ship-
mates away at that ridiculously low price of $2.20,
but they will have to inquire of the contractors,
Messrs. Gregory Askew & Co., of that city, how
it can be done. It is pretty certain they can
not afford to supply any floral decorations at that
luicc. Then A. P. Le Sage, at Superior, Wis.,
is a close second at $3.39; the price savors of
bargain-counter figures. These figures would
have been sufficiently startling to have awakened
comment, but the Ohio people outbid them by
$1.19. The Key West figures of $5.25 seem very
small for a decent burial, and the Jacksonville
and Los Angeles prices seem far too low for a
proper interment of a faithful old tar.
Of course it must be borne in mind that some
of the ports named are not frequented by deep-
sea craft, but that matters not, for in the lan-
guage of the law a man or a woman who is
employed on a registered vessel of the United
States is a "seaman," and it is seamen that arc
provided with burial under these contracts. It
can not be that the bodies of these poor unfor-
tunate seamen are cremated and their ashes cast
out to the winds, for that is too costly a method,
hence, we are led to suppose the body is put in-
to any old packing box and dumped into a vacant
lot or perhaps chucked into a trench in the Pot-
ters' Field, unmarked, unknown and uncared for,
a lamentable ending for a "ward" of this great
nation.— American Shipbuilder.
The indignation expressed by our es-
teemed contemporary is fully justified by
the circumstances referred to. The contract
bnrialsf?) of dead seamen at the hands of
tlu' Government is disgraceful, and would
not be tolerated by any community in the
disposition of its indigent dead. That a rich
and powerful nation, assuming, as it does,
paternal authority over all the affairs of the
seaman, should contract for the burial, i. e.,
removal, of the seaman's remains at the
paltry figure of $2 or $3 says but little for
the nation's sense of respect for itself or of
dr, 1 ney toward the dead. The Government
must know that anything like proper inter-
ment is impossible at the figures quoted.
Moreover, the Government ought to see the
obvious suggestion that the contractor
probably figures upon a profit in disposing of
the dead by means other than burial. This
suggestion carries with it the reflection that
a government possessing so little delicacy
in a matter of sacred character ought to
ss more acumen in a business matter.
In a word, the Government, instead of pay-
ing the contractor for burials that do not
take place, ought to compel the latter to di-
vide the proceeds of the sales that do take
place. Rut perhaps the Government is satis-
tied that it makes a good bargain in getting
rid of the dead seaman upon any terms. In
whatever way the case is looked at, it pre-
sents a nasty appearance, one that is little
calculated to inspire feelings of respect for
the seaman, alive or dead, or for the Gov-
ernment under whose flag he lives and dies.
The only compensating feature of the busi-
ness is that of consistency. "Poor Jack" is
so much used to being treated like a pauper
or criminal while alive that anything ap-
proaching "Christian burial" would probably
surprise him back to life, [letter let the poor
devil stay dead! Better make the dead sea-
man an anatomical ".subject" than take
chances of having to bury him twice, at the
enormous expense of $2. 20 each time!
SEAMEN'S RIGHTS IX PUBLIC.
Admiral Goodrich has taken the Mayor of Ta-
coma to task for treating the uniform of the
Navy with disrespect. The particular form it
took was objecting to a Jackie entering a hall-
room in which a dance under the auspices of the
Elks was in progress. It is intimated that while
1 he jolly tar was not intoxicated, he had been
drinking, but perhaps an injustice was done him
in that regard. If he was really injured in feel-
ings "r otherwise, however, it does not become
the Admiral to find fault. A dance is a social
function and those who conduct it have a right
to nominate who shall be the guests. Until Ad-
miral Goodrich can demonstrate that Jackie is
a welcome guest at his own table, he has
no kick coming. In fact, if the Admiral is
like most officers he will be obliged to confess
that it is the notion of strict discipline of his
order that must be held responsible for affairs
of this kind. So long as the line is strictly drawn
between the quarter deck and the fo'castle, civili-
ans who are in the habit of noting things will
be bound to look upon Jack, not as a defender
of the country, but as a common sailor, ft rests
with the officers to change this point of view. —
San Francisco Chronicle.
Ergo, so long as the admiral bars the
Jackie (the seaman, not the monkey) from
his own dances a public purveyor of the light
fantastic may do the same. Magnificent, in-
escapable logic! Let's see how it works out.
I, it's take the editor of the Chronicle for ex-
ample. Suppose that distinguished disciple
of Locke and I '.aeon gives a dance. Sup-
pose an equally distinguished disciple of
Caxton and Mergcnthaler butts in. What
happens? 'Phe 1). of C. and M. butts out
again, p. d. q. Betcher! The editor of the
Chronicle has the highest respect for the
rights of the printer, but he has an equal
respect for his own right to choose his
guests. Yet the rule applied by the Chronicle
to the admiral would require the editor of
that great daily to welcome his employes
as guests at his social functions, or stand
estopped from protesting against a public
insult to the latter. We think it quite likely
that the Chronicle would resent an insult to
its employes if offered upon the ground that
their employment disqualified them for as-
sociation with the general public. Such an
insult would reflect upon the Chronicle itself
and thus compel that paper to act in self
defense.
Possibly the editor of the Chronicle has
one rule for himself and another for the
admiral, but the JOURNAL is unable to see
any grounds of difference between these two
dignitaries. We think it more than likely
that the Chronicle recognizes the inconsist-
ency of any attempt at such distinction and
indirectly argues in defense of discrimination
against the "common sailor." Strict disci-
pline is necessary for the efficiency of a
ship's crew, a fact that is recognized and ac-
cepted as well by the "common sailor" as
by the afterguard. Tin- former, being a man
of intelligence, freely admits the right of the
latter to keep themselves to themselves, just
as the latter are, by all the traditions of the
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
craft, obliged to respect the rights of the
former in the same connection. To say that
"it rests with the officers to change this
point of view" — to say that until "jackie is
a welcome guest at his own (the admiral's)
dances, or at his table," tie seaman will not
be able to command decent treatment from
the public is simply to doom the seaman
to everlasting public contempt. The ques-
tion of discipline on hoard ship lias nothing
to do with the present case. There is abso-
lutely no connection between the question
of discipline on hoard ship and the refusal
to admit a seaman to a public dancehall.
That question has been lugged in by the
Chronicle either to justify contempt for the
seaman or to demonstrate its own profound
ignorance of the subject.
The incident complained of by Admiral
Goodrich is important mrinly as illustrating
a tendency that is becoming altogether too
prevalent for the "good of the service."
Whether it he that the seaman is becoming
worse, a condition which our contemporaries
will admit is hardly possible, or that he is
becoming better, and therefore more desir-
ous of mixing in "society," it should he un-
derstood that he is entitled to respect as a
MAN. We speak not for the "cloth" par-
ticularly, although that of itself ought not
to bar the wearer from polite circles, even
though it does expose a little more of the
human form divine than is seemly to the
eye of a Comstockian. We speak for the
seaman and insist that he shall not be com-
pelled to disguise himself in boiled linen and
other species of store (dollies in order to
gain admittance to any place of public resort.
Dancing masters, showmen and all others
concerned will please take notice that Jack
is as grood as his master — when ashore.
TACOMA (Wash.), August 27.— Puget Sound
shipping men now face a problem which they
have never before been known to hesitate over,
and one which means the loss or gain of thou-
sands of dollars to them — the chartering of their
vessels on demand to merchants who are now
seeking to transport lumber from Puget Sound
to San Francisco. The great question which the
local shipowners and agents are attempting to
solve is whether the present rate will drop or
rise. The rate on lumber from Puget Sound to
San Francisco is now $7 a thousand feet. From
Puget Sound to San Pedro it is $8. Heretofore
the rate to San Francisco has been as low as $3,
but the normal rate is considered to be $4.50,
while the normal rate to San Pedro has been
from $5 to $5.50 a thousand.
Never in the history of local lumber shipping
has the demand for tonnage been so great. In
[887-8 there was a big demand for tonnage and
hijrh prices were paid them, but 10-day tonnage
is in such demand that California merchants are
willing to pay prices such as have never been
known in local shipping centers. The net result
is that none of the local agents or shipping firms
are willing to charter vessels for future dates.
Practically all the Sound sailing vessels are now
chartered. — Press Dispatch.
The foregoing is reproduced by way of
bearing out the oft-reiterated assertions that
the shipowners can very well afford to pay
the seamen the slight increase of wages
asked by the latter It only remains to be
said that most of the shipowners have now
granted the increase. The publication of these
freight rates will, however, serve a useful
purpose in reminding the Association own-
ers of the fact — already acknowledged by
themselves — that they are not lighting
against the unions' demands for a living
wage, but against the unions themselves.
It's a very old fight, and one that was set-
tled a long time ago. The man who fights
against the trade-union fights against the
fates.
The Government, with the sanction of Roose-
velt and Bonaparte, is going into a gigantic ad-
vertising scheme. The biograph, or motion pic-
ture machine, is to be used to illustrate life on
a warship. Only the pleasures and pastimes of
the middy are to be shown, as the aim is to create
an interest in this line of the service among young
men in the larger cities, so as to enlist 3,000 able-
bodied seamen. — Printers' Ink.
Happy thought! The idea of depicting
the "pleasures and pastimes of the middy"
as a means of enlisting 3,000 able-bodied
seamen does full credit to the long-estab-
lished reputation of the Navy Department
in the matter of expedients for manning the
Navy. Now that the Department has gone
into the show business, this paper would of-
fer a suggestion. Start a circus. Let there
be plenty of clowns and trick donkeys on the
programme. P'or the benefit of the audience
announcements should be made that the
clown who tries to ride the donkey repre-
sents a "jackie" trying to gain admission
to a dancehall or theater. ( )ther equally real-
istic effects will no doubt immediately sug-
gest themselves to the humorously-inclined
gentlemen who run the Navy — that is, the
Navy Department.
Demand the union label on all products.
Now that Farley and his delectable bunch
are with us, the following pen picture of that
outfit will be interesting to San Francisco
readers :
Leroy Scott, who joined Farley's strike-break-
ing forces in the New York Subway, thus de-
scribes the fellows whom President Eliot and
some others call "heroes":
"The strike-breaker is often regarded as a hero,
lighting upon principle against unionism. There
may be such strike-breakers, but during my study
of them, which lasted through the strike, I failed
to find one. There was practically no strong
anti-union feeling among the strike-breakers —
even among Farley's regulars. 'We're after the
coin' — that was the common principle that made
them strike-breakers. * * * The majority were
very much ashamed of what they were doing.
They regarded strike-breaking as low work. They
felt they had sunk in undertaking it even tem-
porarily. * * * A number of the more re-
spectable looking of Farley's regulars, with whom
I talked concerning the quality of the strike-
breakers, said that about half the men — one said
60 per cent — were a 'tough outfit.' * * * I
estimated that two-thirds of the men engaged in
breaking the strike were undepcndable, incom-
petent or of bad character — utterly unfit for em-
ployment involving the safety of human life."
The striking sailors in San Francisco seem to
have the better of the fight, as they certainly have
of the argument. So far as the public is per-
mitted to discern, there is nothing of the goug-
ing description in the demand of the sailors. Their
demand antedates the disaster of April 18 by
several months, and can not be construed into a
scheme to take advantage of the misfortune of
the city. We have little doubt that the victory
will be theirs, for their cause is just. — Sunday
News, Sacramento, Cal.
The Sunday News is to be congratulated,
not only upon its sentiments, but also upon
its ability to sec ahead. Our contemporary
is dead right in saying that "the victory will
be theirs." The victorv IS theirs.
The sailors arc making steady gains in their
struggle with the San Francisco Shipping Asso-
ciation. The events of the past week indicate
that the struggle can not last. The sailors are
right, and offered their case to arbitration. The
Association refused and arbitrarily decided to
crush them. The public has never been in sym-
pathy with the attitude of the Association and
the latter is feeling the effect. The sailors will
win. — Grays Harbor (Wash.) Post.
Another example of unerring prophetic
vision. The sailors have won.
Now that the street-car situation in San
Francisco has resolved itself into a "fight to
the finish," every person of good judgment
will hope that the finish may come speedily.
This consummation may be hastened by the
refusal of the public to ride on street-cars
manned by strike-breakers.

A record passage from Newcastle, N. S. W.,
to Honolulu has been made by the American bark
Star of Bengal, owned by Ed. B. Smith, of San
Francisco, and commanded by Captain H. Hen-
derson. The vessel, to the surprise of not only
her owner, but shipping men genrally, dropped
anchor at the island port only thirty-three days
from the Australian city, thereby covering her-
self with glory, for many a ship noted for speed
has failed to make so good a run. The Star of
Bengal was built by Harland & Wolff, famous
builders at Belfast, Ireland, and has always borne
a good name as a sailer. She was launched in
1874 and is a sister-ship of the Star of Italy, Star
of France, and Star of Russia, all Harland &
Wolff products and all owned by the Alaska
Packers' Association, running out of San Fran-
cisco.
Four bolts of colored crepe silk worth $40,
were found recntly in a bunk in the Japanese
quarter of the Pacific Mail liner Korea. The oc-
cupant of the bunk claimed that, having found
that the goods were dutiable, he had intended to
take them back to the Orient. Nevertheless, they
were seized.

OIN THE GREAT LAKES
(Contributed by the Lake Seamen's Unions.)
*^^*
SMALL BOATS SOUGHT.
The efforts that arc being made to raise the
small steamer Elphicke arc taken as an in-
dication of the importance placed by vessel-
owners upon the small boats. The Elphicke
is a steamer -74 feet long by forty-two feet
beam, with a net tonnage of [,764. Her car-
rying capacity is possibly about 3,500 tons.
The steamer is pretty badly damaged, and ves-
sel men are asking whether the cost of wreck-
ing and repairing warrants the savin-- of the
boat.
tf boats of that size were the prevailing
class of tonnage mi the Lakes, this argument
mighl possibly have greater force than it has
under existing circumstances. It is realized
thai since smaller boats are not now being
built, the saving of an old boat is more neces-
sarv even if the cost approximates that of the
original construction.
The boat of little tonnage has a place in
taking care of the trade where small ship-
ments arc necessary and where shallow ports
are to be encountered. In view of these cir-
cumstances, it is declared that, regardless of
any other consideration, the owners of the
Elphicke are warranted in going to almost any
expense in saving the small boat for the Lake
trade, since she will prove almost invaluable
in certain classes of trade.
The ordering of new ships for [907 deliv-
ery is not ended. Contracts for eight boats
are under consideration. Information from a
reliable source is to the effect that there are
several boats which have been ordered, hut
not yet announced. The number of boats an-
nounced under contract by the American
Shipbuilding Company is twenty-two. There
are several more for which contracts have been
practically closed, but of which no announce-
ment has been made. The opposition yards
have a number of boats under contract and it
is possible that before the year closes the total
number of boat orders of the Lake yards will
approximate forty. ( >f these the American
Shipbuilding Company is expected to build
thirty.
i year there were built on the Chain of
Lakes practically thirty-live boats, with a car-
rying capacity in deep water and with ordi-
nary dispatch, of about 7,500,000 tons dur-
ing til n of navigation. This year the
shipbuilders on the Chain of Lakes will pro-
duce about the same number of boats, with
approximately the same carrying capacity. In
two years, therefore, the carrying capacity of
tin1 bake licet will be increased by 1 5.000,000
tons. As intimated recently, the number of
boats which are likely to be built next year
will be about forty, with a carrying capacity
during the season of navigation of about 8,-
O tons. In three years, therefore, the
carrying capacit) of the Chain of Lakes will
be increased by 23,000,000 tons.
Olaf < Hseii and Henry Olde, firemen on
the steamer Empire City, were scalded to
death 011 August 18, off Astoria, by the
bursting of a flue. The unfortunate men were
put off at Ashtabula and rushed to the Ma-
rine Hospital, but their lives could not be
saved.
MARINE NOTES.
John Williams, ordinary seaman on the
steamer Ericcson, fell into the hold at Du-
luth on AugUSl 20 and was badly injured.
The- installation of a modern foghorn, one
of the best in Canadian waters, has just been
completed at the Thunder Cape entrance to
Thunder Bay.
The sum of $50,000 is to be expended at
once in the construction of a new shipbuild-
ing plant at Fori William, by The Great Lakes
1 Jredging Company.
Walter Clink, ordinary-seaman, on the
steamer Kairburu, is in the General Hospital
at Conneaut with a broken arm, having been
struck at the Soo by a steel cable. He will
probably be out in a few days.
Th schooner Kathadin struck and wrecked
the Brown Hoist unloading machines at Lo
rain, recently. An attachment was immedi-
ately brought by the lb & O. Railway and
the vessel will be held until Sept. 15, when the
trial will lake place.
The steamer Edward Y. Townsend, which
is building at the West Superior yard of the
American Shipbuilding Company, for M. A.
Hanna &: Company of Cleveland, was sucecss-
fully launched on August iS. The new boat
is 1 02 feet over all, 58 feet beam and will carry
12,000 tons of ore.
The Pittsburg Steamship Company's new
fioo-footer Norman lb Ream was launched
at the South Chicago yards on August 18, and
the steamer Edward J. Townsend, a 605-foot-
er, for The Cambria Steel Company,
was launched at Superior. The latter vessel
is 58 feet beam. 32 feet deep.
The new steel steamer Norman lb Ream
was successfully launched, at South Chicago
on August iS. The new boat is 600 feet in
length, with a beam of 58 feet. Her prede-
cessors, the J. Pierpont Morgan and H. H.
Rogers, which are in service, have broken all
carrying records on the Lakes.
It is reported that President Pressano, of
the Great Lakes Engineering Works, has
closed a contract in Buffalo with Eastern capi-
talists for a steel steamer to carry 0.500 tons,
to come out next season. She will he 500
feet long, 54 feet beam and 30 feet deep.
Seven steamers are now on the Great Lakes
books I'm delivery next season.
Reports from Chicago state that the gaso-
line motor boat which was given a three
mouths' trial in the Life Saving Service at
the mouth of the Chicago River has proved
a complete success. During the three months
thirty-two men have been rescued, and the
motor driven lifeboat has been found swifter
%nd more easily handled than the old oar-
ilriven type. It is said that within two years
every Life Saving station on the Great Lakes
will be equipped with the new boats, and
probably the stations on the seacoast will fol-
low suit.
EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY.
The Act of the [2th of April, [906, is of
considerable moment to all those engaged in
commerce in France, as having a most impor-
tant hearing upon the relations of employers
and employed in the event of accident , fortius
new land extends to all commercial enterprises
without execepting the provisions of the Act
of the oth of April, [898, which hitherto ap-
plied only to manufacturers and a limited
number of trades. Prior to [898 negligence
or fault on the part of the employer had to
be proved to enable a workman or his repre-
sentative to obtain compensation in case of
accident. and the aim of this act was to substi-
tute for this regime, tinder which the fullest
compensation was awarded in the compara-
tively rare cases where such proof was possi-
ble, a system of more limited compensation
applicable in all and every case of accident,
whether due to negligence or to mere chance.
The basis adopted for the assessment of this
limited compensation was that of an equal
division between employer and employed of
the pecuniary consequences of every accident,
and the following summary of the provisions
of the Act of 1898 will illustrate the applica-
tion of this principle :
The annuity of the widow or widower, to be
payable during life and to correspond to 20
per cent of the annual wages of the deceased,
and annuities to the children to vary between
15 and 40 per cent of the annual wages, ac-
cording to the number of children, payable up
to the age of 16; the annuities to the children
to reach even 60 per cent in the event of their
being left orphans. Should a widow or wid-
ower remarry the annuity ceases after payment
of a lump sum representing three years' annu-
ity; but the children's annuities continue to
he paid. In the event of the deceased leav-
ing no widow, widower, or children, an annu-
ity of io to 30 per cent is allowed to other
relatives.
As an example,. a workman earning annu-
ally [500 francs ($289.50), killed by an acci-
dent, leaves a widow aged 35 and three chil-
dren under to years of age. An annuity of
300 francs ($58.50), or 20 per cent, is allowed
to the widow and an annuity of 525 francs
($101.32), or 35 per cent, to the children.
These annuities, capitalized, represent about
10,500 francs ($2026.50).
In case of total disablement from work, the
victim of an accident receives a life annuity
of 66 per cent of his annual wages before the
acident, and in case of partial disablement only
he receives an annuity corresponding
to one-half of the "loss of wage-
earning power" caused by the acci-
dent For example the loss of a leg
is generally estimated by the courts to be
equivalent to 70 per cent "loss of wage-earn-
ing power," so that after an accident of this
kind a workman earning 1500 francs ($289.50)
annually would receive an annuity of 525
francs ($101.32), or 35 per cent, which, sup-
posing him to he 30 years of age. represents
a capital of about 9500 francs ($1833.50).
For accidents causing temporary disable-
ment from work the workman receives half
the daily wage he was earning at the time of
the accident until his complete recovery or
until such time as the temporary disablement
COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
shall have become a permanent disablement,
when the half wages are replaced by the com-
pensation provided for total disablement. All
medical and pharmaceutical expenses, as well
as hospital and funeral expenses, to be borne
by the employer.
In spite of the completeness and precision
of the text of this Act, a great deal must neces-
sarily depend upon the views of the courts
called upon to administer its clauses, and it is
only natural, in view of the relations between
employers and workmen in France at the pres-
ent time, that they should incline toward a lib-
eral interpretation. Especially is this the case
in the assessment for the total "loss of wage-
earning power." Evidence of a tendency to
increase the liability of employers is afforded
by the Act of March 31, 1905, which is sup-
plementary to the Act of April 9, 1898, and
which stipulates, among other liabilities, the
payment of half wages from the first day after
the accident in all cases lasting more than ten
days, instead of from the fifth day after, as
was originally provided.
The fact that this legislation was limited to
certain trades gave rise to much controversy,
and the courts of law differed widely in their
interpretation of its extent. Generally speak-
ing, and in addition* to industries such as
mines, quarries, building and all work neces-
sitating the use of machinery worked other-
wise than by hand, all trades involving "manu-
facture" or transforming materials of any kind
were judged as coming within the scope of
the Act ; but even these definitions did not
entirely dispose of all difficulties, and it is
still an open question as to whether bakers,
butchers and various other trades can be con-
sidered as belonging to the latter category.
The evident unfairness to workmen belong-
ing to industries not under the Act, and a de-
sire to make the Act more far-reaching, sunn
caused a movement toward including in its
scope all possible categories of workers, and
if is this recent x\ct of April 12, 1906, which
definitely deals with the question and finally
disposes of the doubts which still subsisted as
to the relative position of various trades. All
commercial enterprises, with the sole excep-
tion of agriculture, are now subjected to these
employers' liability acts. Some little time,
however, must elapse before the new act be-
comes operative, as certain administrative
measures have to be carried out with regard
to the imposition of a small tax on all com-
merce. The proceeds of this tax will be used
by the State for the formation of a fund to
guarantee workmen in a certain measure
against bankruptcy of employers or of insu-
rance companies in which employers have cov-
ered their liabilities.
A clause of (he Act renders it impossible
for this delay to extend beyond the end of the
present year, and it is thought that, until the
measure becomes operative, the courts and all
those who may be concerned will take their
inspiration from its provisions. Many em-
ployers have for a long time past taken the
precaution of protecting themselves by means
of insurance against all possible liability, both
in respect of common law and this new Act;
and in this connection may he quoted the words
used in the Senate on March 27 by a French
official in charge of the extension of commer-
cial enterprise. as follows: "The business man
has, moreover .the power, which it is pru-
dent for him to exercise, to insure himself,
and the insurance premium can enter into his
general expenses, be embodied in the product
of his industry, and so be carried forward in
the sum total of expenses."
The steamer F. A. Meyer has just carried
out of Superior the largest lumber cargo ever
taken out of that port. The Meyer was laden
with 1,500,000 feet of white pine. The Jes-
sie Spalding formerly held that record with
1,400,000 feet. The Meyer was formerly the
J. Emory ( hven, which burned off Sturgeon
Hay and was the cause of a great salvage suit.
She was taken to Milwaukee, where she was
rut down and converted into a lumber barge
under the direction of her owners, who re-

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
Commenting upon the foreign commerce
for the fiscal year just closed, which shows
a trade balance of $517 > of exports
over imports, the Philadelphia Press re-
marks that "the expenditure of $100,000,
on the navy or $150,000,000 for the Pana-
ma Canal arc really only trifles after all."
'I lie New York Sun, looking at the enormous
aggregate value of both exports ami im-
ports .calls the $31 by which that
aggregate falls short of the three-billion-dol-
lar mark '* a mere bagatelle." The piv<s
find in the big figures involved a greal
chance for favorable statistical comparisons
with both the commerce of other nations
and the trade of this country in past years.
"In ten years." the Xew York Trihunt finds,
"we have made as great advance as a buyer
and seller in the world's 111 rkets as we made
in the one hundred and seven years preced-
ing."
Tlie Xew York Times compares at length
the record-breaking of one year ago with
thai which the present reports show:
"'All new records.' was the triumphant
caption over the records of foreign trade at
this time last year. Now we put upon rec-
ord facts making last year's seem almost
paltry. The increase in exports is $225,201,-
946, and in imports $109,102,308. Truly a
good growth. The first billion-dollar mark-
in our exports was reached in (892. Four
lean years followed, hut the billions have
been unbroken since 1 81^7. Soon it will he
0 billions, hut last year it was only $1,-
743,763,612. ft was in 1903 that we reached
the billion standard in our imports, and when
we reached it we did not hold it. The year
just closed, however, shows that then it was
handsomely exceeded, the aggregate being
$1,226,615,379. The total falls just a trifle
short of the sentimental three billions upon
which all lovers of records and big things
had set their hearts. The aggregate is only
$2,970,378,991, hut the lacking S.v>.< «aooo,
will hardly prevent this year going into the
three-billion class in popular phrase. The
biggest total trade, however, dots not yield
the biggest excess of exports. $5 I 7, 1 48,233,
comparing with $664,592,826 in the famous
year of ti :oi."
The report of the Bureau of Statistics
gives hut little information as to the appor-
tionment ol these vast sums among the va-
rious classes of trade. Prom the preliminary
st itements which are given some interesting
comparisons are drawn by the New York
Journal of Commen e :
"The total value of bread-stuffs exported
was $177,350,476, compared with Sioi.io;,
417 in the preceding fiscal year, and $142,-
710,484 for [903-4, hut in il reached
$213,043,21 o. .-iid in , attained the high-
est record at $266,806,188. The gain of last
year over the preceding in wheat was from
4,391,061 bushels to 34,793,525, and in Hour
from 8,756,915 barrels to 13,870,97, hut the
highest record for wheat is 154,856,102 hush-
els exported in the year ending June, 10.02.
and for flour 19,716,484 barrels in 1902-3.
The total export of corn during the last fis-
cal year was 117,385,437 bushels, against
88,565,867 the previous year, and 55,858,965
for that ending June, n;o4. hut in that end-
ing in [900 it went as high as 20<>, 348,284.
The disparity in value is not so great as
that in quantity, as prices are higher in
years of relatively short crops and light ex-
ports."
Regarding the effect of the investigations
of the packing-houses upon the meat ex-
ports. The Journal of Commerce says:
"The effect of the packing-house disclo-
sures, whatever it may prove to he. does not
••pear very clearly in the June statement,
ps the heavy orders are mostly for poducts
not delivered for some weeks. The loss of
orders in June will he indicated more fully
in the actual exports for July, but so far
as can he judged now it will he chiefly in
canned meats. The value of canned meats
exported fell off considerably, not only in
June hut in previous months, which is at-
tributed in considerable part to the dimin-
ished demand from Japan since the end of
its military operations in Manchuria.
Canned meats are a comparatively small
item in our exports of provisions. With a
total value of $193,943,428 for the eleven
months ending with May, only $6,143,352
consisted of canned beef and $1.140, 273 of
canned pork, no other meat products being
designated as 'canned' in the statistics of
exports."
GERMAN COOPERATIVE STORES.
The annual meeting of the Association of
German Cooperative Stores was recently held
at Stettin, and that representatives of similar
national organizations were in attendance as
guests from Belgium, Holland, England, hen
mark, Austria, and Switzerland.
'1 he discussions and reports at this conven-
tion were very instructive. The system of
forming associations for supplying the mem-
bers with articles of food, household goods,
and other articles of use, thus dispensing with
middlemen, agents, and retail storekeepers,
all of whom derive a profit at the expense oi
the consumer, is highly developed in Ger-
. (heat Britain, Denmark and Austria.
There are in Germany 2508 of these COOpera
tive stores societies, having a membership of
over [,200,000. The value of goods sold by
them increased from 147,000,000 marks (23.8
cents) in 1003 to 230,000,000 in 1905. The
profits realized (which accrue to the benefit
of the members) were [2,000,000 and (8
000 marks, respectively, for the years men-
tioned.
Many of these various retail cooperative
stores have their wholesale purchasing com
panics, which supply them at original cost:
the) are thereby enabled to secure lowest
wholesale prices. The wholesale purchasing
inies make contracts wiih agricultural
societies for the delivery of food and dairy
products in large quantities. They have also
ed in producing and manufacturing
some of the goods which they handle. There
are 33 of these German wholesale purchasing
companies for the cooperative stores, di
marks wi irth of gi mils per
annum, the principal one alone selling to the
ami Hint of 4< marks.
At this convention it was proposed to jom
with the cooperative stores associations of the
oil i i' countries in forming an "International
Cooperative As 1" for the purchase
distribution of articles of consumption. It is
\<i likely that such a union will he foi
Our American producers will do well to give
these cooperative stores in Europe, which an
large and safe customers, their careful atten-
tion.

AFTER THE DOUMA.
( )nly a very small portion of the com-
ment in American. newspapers on the Czar's
dissolution of the Douma is directed against
that body and in favor of the' Czar. A sam-
ple of such opinion is found in an editorial
in the Detroit Journal, which congratulates
Russia on being "well rid of her first Dou-
ma." In The Journal's opinion, if a Con-
gress in America "made the display of inca-
pacity which has marked the sessions of the
Douma, we should be thankful if some ad-
interim czar would dissolve the unprofitable
assembly." The Douma, The Journal be-
lieves, has no sense "for the faintest theo-
ries of constitutionality," and of that body's
excursion to Viborg, Finland, The Journal
says: "It is as if part of Congress, failing
of reelection, should go to Porto Rico and
go on making laws for nobody to sign and
no one to obey." To quote further:
"There is no doubt that revolution is im-
minent in Russia — as it has been since
Bloody Sunday — and there is no doubt that
the most dangerous element in revolution
has been disbanded in the Douma. It de-
manded the privileges of going into the sov-
ereign's presence and conferring with him,
which are not granted to the Parliament in
England. It has spent all these days and
weeks in wrangles and rows. It has demon-
strated to the satisfaction of every one that
there is no capacity in it for dealing with
the agrarian troubles, the revenue, or its
own relation to the country."
The majority is against this view, and its
opinion was fairly expressed by Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, the P>ritish Premier,
when Prof. Maxim Kovalevsky, one of the
Douma delegates, announced in a choking
voice at a meeting of the Interparliamentary
Union in London that he and his colleagues
must return, since there is no longer a Dou-
ma for them to represent. Sir Henry, in de-
finance of prudence, cried out, "Vive la Dou-
ma !" Even the Premier's Conservative
critics concede that, irregular as such an ut-
terance is when made by the Premier, he was
only saying "what is in all our hearts."
"Revolutions," the New York Evening Post
points out, "never go backward," and in the
opinion of the New York Sun the meeting
of the Douma in Finland after its dissolu-
tion is "probably destined to be as memor-
able in history as the tennis-court declara-
tion made by the French National Assembly
that it would not submit to be prorogued or
dissolved." The result of the Viborg meet-
ing is this appeal to the people:
"Citizens, stand up for your trampled-on
rights, for popular representation, and for
an imperial parliament. Russia must not
remain a day without popular representation.
You possess the means of acquiring it. The
Government has, without the assent of the
popular representatives, no right to collect
taxes from the people or to summon the
people to military service. Therefore, you
are now the Govenment. The dissolved
Paliament was justified in giving neither
money nor soldiers. Should the Govern-
ment .however, contract loans in order to
procure funds, such loans will be invalid.
Without the consent of the popular repre-
sentatives, the Russian people will never ac-
knowledge them, and will not be called upon
to pay them. Accordingly, until a popular
representative parliament is summoned, do
not give a copeck to the throne or a soldier
to the army. Be steadfast in your refusal.
No power can resist the united, inflexible
will of the people. Citizens, in this obliga-
tory and unavoidable struggle your repre-
sentatives will be with you."
The Douma also elected a perpetual ex-
ecutive committee headed by Prince Dolgo-
roukof "to carry on the work of liberation."
Upon the Douma's manifesto to the people
the Toledo Blade makes this comment:
"The Douma struck the vital point in the
Czar's armor when it advised the people to
refrain from paying taxes and from joining
the army. Under the most favorable con-
ditions the Czar must have recruits and
money, and if he can not frighten his peo-
ple into furnishing these, the days of the
throne are few indeed and full of trouble."
Many papers call attention to the modera-
tion shown by the Douma in its appeal. If
the Radical wing of the Douma is responsi-
ble for it, observes the Brooklyn Eagle — -"if
such be the case, Russian Radicalism in its
parliamentary form is revealed as unexpect-
edly safe and sane."
Three former leaders of the Douma, ac-
cording to press dispatches, Count, Heyden,
Mr. Stakhovitch, and Prince Lvof, who had
refused to sign the Viborg document, issued
an address urging the people to submit to
the Emperor's will, declaring that he used
his indutiable right in dissolving Parliament.
The Philadelphia Press gives praise to those
men for this reason :
"In the end the fate of Russia will be set-
tled, not by desultory and scattered revolt,
hut 1 v the next representative assembly.
Unless its election is prohibited — and of this
there is as yet no prospect — out of the next
Douma will come constitutional government
for Russia."
But the tone of most papers rings other-
wise. As the New York Tribune says:
"The Terror is come, and the end of it
is not to be foreseen, save that we must be-
lieve order will be restored and freedom will
he established — after what time, and at what
cost! It would not be profitable to tarry
over academic discussions of responsibility
and culpability. The mischief has been done
and can not be undone. It is too late to talk
of the preventives that might, would, could,
or should have been applied. The practical
question is, what cures can be applied to
shorten as much as possible the duration
of the devastating fever. This is the ques-
tion which is to be answered by those who
have goaded and irritated and tortured the
body of Russia into this fever, and the task
of answering it is one before which they
may well stand appalled. The condition
which confronted Frankenstein was not
more terrible."
Few papers pay any serious attention to
rumors of intervention on behalf of the Czar
by Germany and Austria. Germany with its
ever-increasing Socialism and Austria with
its Hungarian affairs, the Los Angeles Ex-
press points out, have troubles enough of
their own. Besides, "holy alliances are out
of date in this twentieth century." In the
end, remarks the Indianapolis News, we
may he sure of one thing, "and that is that
freedom will triumph, if not to-day, then to-
morrow."
MARITIME EXPOSITION.
The production of gold in the mines of
South Africa for the month of June shows
the largest product ever recorded. In the
first six months of the current year the pro-
duction was nearly $6,000,000 greater than in
the corresponding time last year.
The regulations and classifications together
with printed form of application for space,
have just issued by the Commissioner-General
of the International Maritime Exposition to
be held in Bordeaux, May to November, 1907.
This exposition is intended fittingly to com-
memorate the successful application of steam
to navigation a hundred years ago. The mo-
tive for the celebration of such an event here
may be found in the fact that in 1803, four
years before Fulton's successful attempt on
the Hudson, with the first steamboat, the
Clermont, he made his initial asseys in steam
navigation on the River Loire in France. It
is proposed to celebrate this centennial anni-
versary by illustrating the history of naviga-
tion from the earliest times. There are to be
collected models of every kind of ship, an-
cient and modern, commercial and naval, to-
gether with an illustrated display of all that
pertains to ocean geography and to river and
sea navigation. The exposition is being orga-
nized by the French Maritime League, of
which Admiral Gervais of the French navy is
president. It is under the official patronage
of the Government of France, also of the gen-
eral council of the Department of the Gironde,
the municipal government, the Chamber of
Commerce, and the Philomathic Society of
Bordeaux.
Commissioner-General E. Bertin and Dep-
uty Commissioner-General V. Morlot have
opened commodious offices in the immediate
vicinity of the American consulate, where a
vast amount of preliminary work is being
done. The exposition is to be on a scale be-
fitting the object in view, and official notifica-
tion and invitation have already been dis-
patched to our Government. Assurances of
participation have been received from some of
the European Governments, and in a commu-
nication the Commissioner-General suggests
the propriety of the consulate asking instruc-
tions concerning the acceptance of the invi-
tation by the Government of the United
States, and the erection of an American pa-
vilion on the river front of the exposition
grounds. The numerous buildings to he
erected on the great square of the "Quincon-
ces" will be not only on a vast scale, hut archi-
tecturally beautiful. This square, which is
about 30 acres in extent, facing the river Ga-
ronne, will be greatly increased in size by the
extension of the grounds to the cd^c of the
quay, where the various nations are expected
to erect pavilions.
L
CHINESE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
It was recently announced in the British
ParhamciH by a member of the Cabinet, that
the notice to the Chinese coolies in South Af-
rica of the conditions by which they may ob-
tain relief from their contracts and return to
China at Imperial expense would he contin-
ued in force as a safety valve against cruelty
or oppression. It was further announced
that so soon as a constitution conferring res-
ponsible government upon the Transvaal has
issued, under the authority of the Crown, a
date will be fixed when the existing Chines''
labor ordinances will be revoked; and, unless
before that date expires the Transvaal legis-
lative assembly reenacts a new ordinance to
which His Majesty's Government can give its
assent, the whole system of Chinese inden-
tured labor in South Africa will cease and de-
termine. It is this uncertain state regarding
the South African mines that has much to do
with the stagnation in that country.

Reenforcements of troops arc pro-

The French Chamber of Deputies,
by 410 votes to 87, approved of the
policy of the new Government, which
claims that it intends to "make finan-
cial, economic and social reforms,
paving the way towards a union of
capital and labor, and the develop-
ment of education."
Three hundred freight handlers !
struck at Duluth, Minn., recently for
thirty-five cents an hour and recog-
nition of their union. The Northern
Pacific is offering thirty-five cents an
hour for men to handle freight in and
out of boats at its docks, but the road
is understood to be opposed to the
union recognition.
At a meeting of 142 delegates, rep-
resenting all the Russian railways, re-
cently concluded in Finland, it was
resolved that a general strike would
be feasible at an early date, and to
issue instructions to prepare for it.
A committee was appointed to draw
up a strike appeal or any other mani-
festo which may be found necessary.
The threatened strike of iron mold-
ers in the engineering trade of Man-
chester and Southeast Lancashire,
Eng., has been averted. The molders,
who had demanded an immediate ad-
vance of 50 cents per week, have ac-
cepted an advance of 25 cents now,
with a promise of an additional ad-
vance of 25 cents in January.
President Fallieres of France on
August 30 signed a decree bringing
the compulsory weekly rest-day law
into operation on September 1. There
is much interest attached to the atti-
tude the restaurant-keepers and cafe
proprietors will take, and whether
they will carry out their threat to
close all their establishments Sunday.
Auckland (N. Z.) coachbuilders'
employes have been awarded a 47-
hour week, a minimum wage of is 2d
per hour for competent journeymen,
and preference to unionists. Their
fellow craftsmen in Brisbane arc
working under considerable worse
conditions than these, owing to being
unorganized and the want of an up-
to-date arbitration act.
Westralian Coastal Trades and La-
bor Council strongly disapproves of
the refusal to grant reduced railway
rates to the local timber combine,
which already enjoys abnormal privi-
leges. The Council urges workers in
the timber industry to organize to the
fullest extent so as to resist the un-
justifiable attempt to reduce their al-
ready inadequate wages and extend
their working hours.
Out of 197,614 members of 1,071
trades unions which made returns to
the French labor department as to the
state of employment of their members
during May, 15,240, or 7.7 per cent,
were described in the returns as out
of work, as compared with 8.5 per
Calais and Nord departments are not
included in these figures.
One hundred and sixty-seven strikes
were reported to the Italian labor de-
partment as having occurred during
May, as compared with 98 during the
previous month. The number of per-
sons directly involved in iti of these
was 50,715, as compared with 9,985
who took part in 72 of the April dis-
putes. Strikes arc most frequent in
the building, textile and metal trades,
and among agricultural laborers, the
number recorded being 28, 26, 18 and
18 respectively.
The New Zealand Government
grants reduced passages to experi-
enced farm laborers and female ser-
vants, for whom there is a good de-
mand, but reduced passages for rail-
way navvies are now slopped. The
building trades have been busy almost
everywhere, and in some places men
have been wanted. At Wellington,
however, the supply is plentiful, and
at Duncdin very few stonemasons are
employed. The engineering trade has
been fairly busy also, except at Auck-
land and Wellington.
The report on strikes and lockouts
in Holland just issued by the Dutch
central statistical bureau, shows that
disputes, though more frequent, were
on the whole far less extensive in
1905 than in 1904. Thus against 132
disputes recorded in 1905 there were
only 102 in the previous year, but the
number of workpeople directly affect-
ed was only 7,364 in T005, as compared
with 11,186 in 1904, while the aggre-
gate number of working days lost by
such people was only 78,562 last year,
against 576,866 in tooj.
Fifty-two cases of recourse to the
law on conciliation and arbitration
were reported to the French labor de-
partment as having been begun in
Man. In one of these — a strike of
woodmen in five branches of the
building trades — five conciliation com-
mittees were formed, on the initiative
of the workmen in one case, and of
the justice of the peace in four cases.
These eventually settled the dispute.
In a second dispute — a strike in four
branches of the building trades in an-
other locality — the initiative was taken
by the justice of the peace and com-
mittees of conciliation were formed,
resulting in the direct settlement of
the disputes in four branches; in tin'
fourth the workmen returned to work
under the old conditions.
Consul E. L. Harris, of Chemnitz,
figures that during the first three
months of 1906 there were 536 strikes
in the German empire. About 400
factories shut down, quite a number
being lockouts. The workmen affect
ed numbered about 90,000. Some-
thing like 400 strikes and lockouts
were amicably settled, while the
others were waged until the workmen
were compelled to return to work.
The number of strikes during 1905
throughout Germany was 2,406
Nearly all were settled before the end
of the year. Nearly 15,000 factories
were affected, while more than 400,-
000 workmen were partially or com-
pletely thrown out of employment, in-
cluding 67,000 minors of both sexes.
fifty per cent of the strikes >
brought to a close by mutual agree-
ment. Only 528 were a complete suc-
cess on the part of the strikers, all
Others being only a partial success or
complete failure.

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
Deal carriers, slab carriers and
other employes about sawmills at
Chatham, N. B., recently received an
advance of 10 per cent in wages.
The Xew Jersey State Federation
of Labor has indorsed unanimously
the proposition of the American Fed-
eration of Labor for political action
at the coming election.
The employing Sheet Metal Work-
of San Francisco have voluntarily
increased the pay of their employes
from $5 to $5.50 a day for eight hours,
to take effect September 3, in consid-
eration of the increased cost of living
in San Francisco since the recent fire.
The increase affects 360 men.
Cotton mill agents in Providence,
R. L, say there is a shortage of ex-
perienced help, probably amounting
to 10 per cent in that section. It is
thought that the lack of help is due
to the weather conditions that have
prevailed during the greater part of
the summer.
Laborers at Montreal, Quebec, had
their wages increased to $1.75 per day;
the increase was not general, but a
number of contractors were paying
tlie new scale. Laborers on concrete
work at Charlottetown, P. E. I., were
increased from $1.25 to $1.50 per day.
At several other points where a short-
age in the supply of general labor pre-
vailed, wages were upward in ten-
dency.
At the headquarters of District No.
20, United Mine Workers of America,
in Birmingham, Ala., the statement
has been officially made that the local
unions have voted to call off the strike
of miners which has been in progress
at the mines of the four big furnace
companies in that State since July 25,
[904. The strike affected 6000 men
and is said to have cost the Miners'
Union over $1,000,000.
Owing to the restriction of Chinese
immigrants into Canada during the
past few years, large numbers of Hin-
doos have been coming into the port
"i Vancouver and securing work as
laborers in mills and mines. Agita-
tion against the Hindoo immigration
has hitherto been unavailing, as the.
Hindoos are British subjects. Now,
however, the Dominion Government
has taken the matter up with R. G.
MacPherson, M. P., who announced
today on behalf of the Government
that this immigration will be checked
on the score that such immigrants are
undesirable. The Immigration Act al-
lows the Governor-General in council
to prohibit the landing of any speci-
fied class of immigrants which, in its
opinion, are objectionable.
The Crescent Wharf and Ware-
house Company applied in the Su-
perior Court of Los Angeles for an
injunction against the Longshore-
men's Union of San Pedro, No. 3, and
the Pacific Coast Federation of Long-
shoremen, and the members individu-
ally, asking an injunction restraining
them from interfering with the work
of tin- men in its employ in the un-
loading of vessels at the East San
Pedro wharves and at the Long Beach
harbor. The injunction asked for
would restrain the men from picket-
ing, loitering in the vicinity of the
company's property, attempting to
dissuade the men from working or ap-
plying the word "scab" and other
epithets to the non-union laborers.
The petition recites that the company
has been greatly handicapped by the j
action of the union men since August
17, and that it has induced more
than twenty-five of its recently em- '
ployed nun to quit work.

The Philadelphia barge Ann
Thompson, loaded with 400 tons of
coal, sank in the Potomac River last
Friday while being towed to Wash-
ington.
The latest reports of the United
States Army's Chief of Engineers on
the progress of the Delaware River
improvements state that $1,000,000
can be profitably expended thereon
in the year ending June 30, 1907.
Canada paid the following bounties
for the first eleven months of the
1906 fiscal year, according to Consul
Wakefield, of Orilia: $624,191 on iron,
$838,591 on steel, $273,440 on steel
rods, $13,478 on binder twine, and
$267,048 on crude oil.
A vessel's mast, three feet above
water, attached to submerged wreck-
age, was passed on August 19 twelve
miles west of Barnegat in fourteen
fathoms of water by the steamer
Zulia, at New York from La Guayra.
The wreck is very dangerous to navi-
gation.
The British steamer Pennmanor ar-
rived at Philadelphia, Pa., recently
from Rotterdam and reported pass-
ing on August 2, in latitude 49.42
north, longitude 17.14 west, a large
cask-shaped buoy, apparently iron,
painted dark at the ends and white
in the middle.
The steamer City of Selkirk ar-
rived at Selkirk, Manitoba, on Au-
gust 29 from the north end of Lake
Winnipeg, and reported that the
steamer Princess, with sixteen hands
011 board, ran into a rock near
Swampy Island on the 26th and six
of the crew were drowned. The ves-
sel was engaged in the fish trade.
The steam freighter Satilla, built
for the Atlanta, Birmingham and At-
lantic Railroad Company, by the Fore
River Shipbuilding Company, was
launched recently. The steamer, with
three others now being constructed,
will run between New York and
Brunswick. She has a displacement
of 5000 tons, is 313 feet in length and
40 feet beam.
Captain Samuel Gordon Martin, for
over sixty years a shipmate, died on
August 28 at his home near Branch-
port, N. J., in his eighty-third year.
In 1849 he was in command of the
schooner Roe, which sailed for San
Francisco. Later he took the first
steamboat to San Francisco from
New York in sections on board the
sailing ship Cornelia.
An infernal machine was discovered
on August 29 in the hold of the
steamer Eagle Point, as the vessel
lay in the Delaware River, at the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Grain Elevator. The steamer was
saved from destruction by a fraction
of a second, as the bomb exploded as
it touched the water after being
thrown overboard.
Walter Wellman, leader of the Arc-
tic expedition, telegraphed from Spitz-
enberg on August 14th, via Tlammer-
fest, Norway, that the completion of
the balloon has been greatly delayed
owing to the magnitude of the work.
Many other minor defects have been
discovered in the mechanical parts of
the airship, and these are being re-
paired as fast as possible. The mo-
tors work excellently, and the balloon
part of the airship is in good condi-
tion. Wellman says it will be still
possible, weather permitting, to get
away toward the Pole during the first
week of September. The buildings
erected will provide a valuable plant
for next year's operations if a start
is not made this year.

The Way of Them.— Mrs. Wise — I
see you're advertising for a green-

Mrs, Newman— Yes, 1 thought I'd
get one and train her up in the way

Mrs. Wise — Yes, and when you get
her trained she'll go.
Realism.— "Hands Off" said the
sign above the whirring machinery,
but the curious stranger did not heed
it.
\n instant later he had contributed
a linger to the spirit of investigation.
"Darn yeh!" he exclaimed, looking
from the stump to tin- machine, "yeh

CALIFORNIANS IN CONGRESS.
THE AMERICAN FEDERATIONIST
(September issue) publishes a number of
letters from United States Senators and
Congressmen on the measures contained in
the "Bill of Grievances," recently submitted to
Congress on behalf of the workers of the United
States. We herewith reproduce the Federation-
ist's comment accompanying the letters, also so
many of the latter as have been received from
California Representatives, as follows:
Labor's campaign is now in full swing. From
everywhere comes the query, "What is the rec-
ord of the Congressman in our district?" We
now publish the following letters from a large
number of Congressmen, with editorial com-
ment, which to us seemed necessary for a clearer
understanding of their position, either expressed
or implied. For the full understanding of what
is herewith presented, it is essential to keep in
mind that on March 21st Labor's Bill of Griev-
ances was presented to the President of the
United States, the President pro tempore of the
Senate, and Speaker Cannon. As many of the
matters recited in that document related to leg-
islative action it was thought best to send a copy
of it to every member of Congress as a matter
of information. This was done immediately. On
April 26th another copy was mailed to each ask-
ing for a reply stating his attitude toward the
subjects dealt with therein, so that no injustice
should be done to any Representative in the
forthcoming Congressional campaign.
In the Bill of Grievances we appealed to those
responsible for legislation or for the failure to
enact and expressed the hope that the appeal
would not be in vain, and added that if per-
chance Congress did not heed labor's request
the toilers would appeal to the conscience and
support of our fellow-citizens. Submittine to the'
dictation of its vested and responsible leaders
Congress utterly failed to accord the rights or
grant any relief requested.
The indignation felt among the wage-earners
and the people generally of our country at this
flagrant disregard of their liberties and their in-
terests made itself promptly and spontaneously
manifest in all sections of the country, and from
all quarters came inquiries from their respective
constituencies, regarding the attitude of certain
Congressmen.
In the June issue of the American Federation-
ist we stated that any person duly authorized by
some bona fide organization, upon writing to the
office of the American Federation of Labor as
to the attitude of any Congressman upon the Bill
of Grievances or upon labor and reform meas-
ures generally would receive a copy of such
Congressman's reply and his record generally
upon the question of labor legislation.
Of course, if no reply had been made to our
Bill of Grievances, that information would like-
wise be given. All this we have already largely
furnished. We also stated that we would later
publish in the American Federationist the an-
swers from Congressmen.
We have received a large number of replies,
and, in compliance with our announcement, we
herewith publish many of the answers.
It is by no means to be inferred that the pub-
lication of a Congressman's answer is either an
indorsement or a "blacklist."
Their respective constituents will settle that
from their records.
In certain respects their replies speak for
themselves.
There will be little difficulty in ranging some
of them under the heads of "indifferent, negli-
gent, or hostile," while others are clearly non-
committal and evasive in their tone. One of the
most remarkable things is the lack of knowledge
and of sympathy demonstrated by some of the
replies.
All will understand that he who is not with
us is against us.
Pleas of ignorance, promises of "careful con-
sideration," or similar phrases, can not entitle a
candidate to the support from organized labor
and its friends which should be accorded to he
who states frankly and unmistakably that he in-
dorses fundamentally the Bill of Grievances and
will vote for the legislative measures necessary
to correct the evils of which labor complains.
In some instances Congressmen emphatically,
though briefly, indorse labor's requests, but that
in no sense impairs the value of such replies,
where the assurance is given so clearly that there
is no possibility of misunderstanding.
Another thing which must not be forgotten is
that some of our stanchest friends in Congress
have not replied in set terms to the Bill of Griev-
ances and therefore can not be quoted here, al-
though their records show their friendship. Cor-
respondence in the American Federation of
Labor files attests their efforts to secure the pas-
sage of desired legislation at various times. Such
members felt no formal reply necessary, but in
their districts we have taken care that their
friendly attitude and record are understood and
if necessary will be made better known.
Many Congressmen in replying wrote at con-
siderable length, often very interestingly, yet, in
order to publish as many replies as possible in
this issue, we reproduce only the portions of
such letters which deal directly with the subject-
matter in the Bill of Grievances.
Where Congressmen undertook to dilate upon
either the superior merits of their particular
party creed or their own virtues as statesmen we
have felt constrained to omit such matter.
In order, however, that strict justice might be
done and no man misrepresented, care was exer-
cised to preserve in its entirety the expression
of opinion on each point germane to the Bill of
Grievances. So desirous were we that no injus-
tice be done that we pursued the unusual course
of mailing a proof to each Congressman of the
matter which appears herein credited to him.
These proofs were mailed several weeks before
publication of this issue, and we requested the
author to read carefully and return to this office
with any changes or amplifications relevant to
the subject-matter.
Therefore, each reply herewith submitted to
the public may be accepted with the absolute
assurance that it is a faithful and correct repro-
duction and that it has been submitted to the
author for inspection before publication.
All understand that large magazines are pre-
pared, so far as the make-up is concerned, sev-
eral weeks before publication, so it will be seen
that replies coming later than a certain date were
not available for use in this issue.
In the October and November issues (the lat-
ter will be on the newstands October 24th) we
may publish replies received too late for this
issue and also any received hereafter. It is quite
likely that we may also publish statements on
the Bill of Grievances from those of our friends
who may be nominated to defeat "negligent, in-
different, or hostile" Congressmen.
Hon. E. A. Hayes, Rep.
(Fifth District, California.)
I am strongly in favor of the rigid enforcement
of the Eight-Hour law, and should favor any
amendments necessary to make it more effective
or more rigidly enforced, so as to accomplish
the purposes which prompted its enactment.
Convict labor should be so handled as not to
compete with free labor nor lower the price of
its wages.
I am a member of the Committee of the
House on Immigration and Naturalization, and
have helped to formulate the bill to restrict im-
migration now before the House. Although this
measure is not as radical as I desire, I think it
will be a vast improvement over the present con-
ditions. I am the most radical restrictionist on
the committee.
I would not only continue in full force the
present Chinese Exclusion laws, but I would
have them rigidly enforced and extended so as
to exclude Japanese and all Mongolian laborers.
I introduced in the House, during the present
session, a bill to extend the Chinese Exclusion
laws to include Japanese and Koreans. The bill
is numbered H. R. 8,975. I have done all in my
power to secure its favorable report by the Com-
mittee on Foreign Affairs, but unfortunately
without success thus far.
Seamen should, of course, have equal rights
with all other citizens, and I should certainly
favor any legislation that would give them such
rights, and such as will fully protect the lives of
seamen and the traveling public while on ship-
board.
Writs of injunction should be granted to all
persons without regard to condition, exactly
upon the same terms, and under such rules as
will prevent this writ from being used as an
engine of oppression or injustice.
I believe that Government employes should
have all the rights common to citizens of the
United States, including the right to peaceably
petition the Congress of the United States for
redress from any grievance under which they
think they suffer.
Hon. Julius Kahn, Rep.
(Fourth District, California.)
I desire to say that I have always favored the
measures which your organization has advocated,
and I shall be glad to give them my earnest sup-
port in the House.
[And yet Mr. Kahn voted to annul the Eight-
FTour law on the Panama Canal construction. —
Ed. Am. Fed.]
Hon. J. R. Knowland, Rep.
(Third District, California.)
I favor the enactment of the Eight-Hour law
to apply lo all work done fur and "ii behalf of
the Government.
I believe that the employment of inmates at
penal institutions should, as far as practicable,
be non-competitive. I am very strongly in favor

COAST SEAMEN'S JOURNAL.
AUSTRALIAN NOTES.
The "Houses of Gabble" are all in full
swing, the Senate. Federal Parliament, and
all the State houses. The most important
topic at present in the Senate is the Anti-
Trust bill, which, I take it, will not affeet
the Australian merchant very much, as we
in this country have not the trusts or com-
bines that are nourishing in the United
States. Nevertheless it is a very wise pre-
caution to adopt as it will prevent cases that
are sapping the roi ts of industry here. For
instance, the importation of the American
harvester, which can be landed here and sold
cheaper than you can purchase them in
America. This course is adopted, no doubt,
with the intention of driving Australian
competition out of the market, and so creat-
ing a monopoly and then in consequence up
go prices. Even a heavy duty on the har-
vesters does not stop the flooding of the
market, as the Americans want the trade.
Considering that the American workers re-
ceive a higher rate of pay, it goes to clearly
prove that some great trust is behind the
whole concern.
The industry has to a certain extent been
a monopoly up to the present. But some
of the Canadian speculators have now
stepped in and are establishing a large sugar
refinery at Suva, Fiji. This refinery will
he known as the Vancouver-Fiji Sugar Corn-
pan v. and as the works are only about five
days steam from Sydney and also close to
Xew Zealand it is quite probable that the
hulk of the refined article will go no far-
ther than Australia, more especially if we
are going to adopt the scheme of preferen-
tial trade between Great Britain and her
dependancies.
No sane person can deny that there is a
corner in tobacco. ( >ne gang controls the
whole of the output and the imports. With
the heavy duty that is on tobacco it is al-
most out of the reach of the ordinary worker
to purchase a decent quality as the cost
would be about five to six shillings per
pound, and with our own manufactured ar-
ticle, if of good quality, the price runs to
about five shillings now, what must he the
article which is sold at the rate of three
shillings per pound? As there is a great
cry about pure food, why not have an in-
quiry into the pure(,?N) tobacco as sold to
the citizens of \ustralia? Some of the poli-
ticians would like to see the juveniles pro-
hibited from smoking cigarettes, as they
claim that the youngsters are being slowly
poisoned, why not do the right thing and
prevent the adult from being compelled to
smoke something which gives off a smell
something between dry grass and old shoes^
As far as 1 am aware, this is the only
combination, except that of the daily press,
that the Anti-Trust bill would apply to.
The Government could help by reducing
the tax on the home-made article if they
are as earnest as they say of assisting the
workers.
We are at present suffering from a plague
of interfering clergy and psalm-singers, who,
having nothing else to do, as the heathen
Jap is ton shrewd for them, and as the al-
mond-eyed Chinaman can do without them,
and as there is sufficient food on the Islands
of the Pacific, and the inhabitants are tired
of "long pig.' as the cannibals termed the
missionary, they have now turned their at-
tention to the Australian resident and are
trying to accomplish by law what they fail
in by exhortation, namely, to put down
sports of certain kinds, such as sweeps, art
unions, boxing, and are even going so far
as to prevent a person from buying and sell-
ing a bag of peanuts or candy or obtaining
a non-intoxicating drink, or any kind of fruit
( n Sunday. How long the people of a coun-
try who prate about their freedom are going
to tolerate such a state of things it is im-
possible at the present time to tell.
The Reform party, which is on the same
lay here as your Citizens' Alliance in San
Francisco, is at present in a fog as to whom
they can nobble to oppose the leader of' the
Federal Labor party, J. C. Watson. As
the latter has given satisfaction to the work-
ers of this country, it will require a first-
rater to wipe him out of politics. This is
an opportune time to say a work about him.
Briefly, he is a staunch, fighting member
of the Typographical Union, even before he
took to politics, thirteen years ago. His
education and manners no one can dispute.
Ability, of the first water, or 22 karat, a
mediator when up against a firebrand and a
fighter when he meets the foe. A native
of Xew Zealand, strictly moral and an ab-
stainer, as far as the writer knows. In all
a true Democrat, whose only fault with any
one is that of being true to his pledges as
a Labor representative. As the good invari-
ably die young, it is the wish of all workers
that J, C. Watson will be an exception to
this old saying. As the battle for the Fed-
eral House comes off about October or No-
vember, the oposing armies are already pre-
paring their forces and getting their guns
into position.
The enemy's General Twister, "Dry Dog"
Reid, K. C, has just returned from a tour
of the colonies where he has been lecturing
to the people upon the necessity of voting
against Labor as the representatives of La-
bor are the "ruin of this country," and that
they are the people who are preaching so-
cialism. Reid goes so far as to say that they
are also agitating for the "equal distribution
of wealth," and are also "against the mar-
riage tie," and the Melbourne press goes on
to say that the Labor politicians are an ig-
norant and arrogant body of men. Of course,
they were real good fellows when support-
ing their idol, the Wriggler. As he was
being supported only when giving conces-
sions, directly he failed the party bumped
him out of power, and the result is that im-
placable hatred which we at all times re-
ceive, when we deprive the capitalistic class
of that power which rightfully belongs to
the masses.
The Judge of the Arbitration Court last
week gave us a splendid illustration of what
it is possible for persons to say or do, who
are appointed to positions that they are not
in touch with the surroundings of, or whose
positions in their past have never brought
them in or about the environments of the
everyday worker. Imagine a judge who
should be like Caesar's wife, above suspicion,
saying that the Wharf Laborers' Union had
resorted to trickery in their dishonest ac-
tions and had insulted his court, and that
he would cancel that union's registration on
the application of the Registrar. For what
offense? Because they had refused to ad-
mit as a member a person whom the ma-
jority assembled at a meeting considered
had worked to their detriment in a time of
friction with the stevedores. This person
being brought from a neighboring colony
and at the same time refusing to do any of
the hard or unpleasant labor which falls to
the ordinary ,t,rang of wheat carriers in a
ship's hold when loading, but would take
any easy portion of the work. This the men
who were working with him objected to,
now the peculiar portion of this splendid,
noble, and humane Act (prostituted by the
way it is administered), which states that
every thing else being equal, the unionist
shall have preference, has been taken away
from the previous award. That being the
only power which even the employers' rep-
resentative backed by the workers' repre-
sentative, gave to the Judge, and with that
he had to rest content. It is to be hoped
he will never be troubled with a bad liver
as then there would be no knowing wdiat he
would do Credit should be given to the
employers' representative, for the stand he
took on the occasion, as we. the members of
the union, know that we never had prefer-
ence from the Judge in his previous award.
One of the strange expressions of the
Judge is, that provision shall be made for
the employment of "old and slow workers,"
and the rates of pay for such men. And
that the employer shall have the privilege
of employing persons for three days in the
week as constant hands. Is there any per-
son outside of a lunatic asylum can say that
was preference to unionists. Well, here is
something can be stated with truth, that
had the verdict been any other way, or so
to speak as the Judge wished, it is freely
stated by a great many concerned that the
time was opportune when the docile union-
ist would have had the power to quit or
strike, aye, and then the unionist would have
the justice, even if the court have the law,
as they would imagine. And as one who
has seen the effects of strikes both in this
and other countries when a large body of
people are affected. The Judge can con-
gratulate the other two members of the
court for having saved him from being the
laughing stock of this and other portions of
the world.
THE COMMODnkK.
Sydney, X. S. W ., Aug. 13, 1906.
The harbor hoard of Auckland, X. Z., is
engaged in harbor improvement and wharf
construction which will take years to com-
plete and the cost of which is estimated at
about $10,000,000. A part of this work is
now under contract to the Kerro-Concrete
Company, an Australian corporation which
is engaged in building a wharf of concrete
reinforced with steel. Proposals or bids
for the work have been asked for by ad-
vertisement in the United States at New
York and Chicago, but as yet no tenders
have been received. There is as yet no com-
munication by railway between Auckland
and Wellington, and the Government is at
present engaged in constructing a line be-
tween Napier and Rotorua which will com-
plete the connection.
The remittances to China made by coolies
or laborers at work in other countries is
now estimated to reach $50,000,000 annually,
including $5,000,000 said to he sent home
by the indentured coolies in the Transvaal
mines. This is one way China meets her
adverse balance of trade.
A project is under discussion in Germany
for the holding of a world's fair in Berlin
in [912. There is a fair prospect that pro-
vision will be made for such an exposition.
